Rider117 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Amazing beer, amazing rides, amazing women, amazing time....Germany is awesome! Here's the pictures! Just a little busy... Awesome time! I have more pictures, but felt this might be a little too many.[/img]
ParkTrips Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I know I've said this dozens of times, but I really hope I get to ride Olympia before it ends up in Russia or some other eastern bloc nation. Thanks for reminding me of that goal
Electerik Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Where are these "amazing women" I was promised?? Oh well, thanks for the TR anyway!
CorkscrewFoley Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Alpina Bahn AND Olympia Looper...Yee-e-ah! By the way, was the Flying Circus there?
coastered Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Alpina Bahn AND Olympia Looper...Yee-e-ah! By the way, was the Flying Circus there? No Flying Circus is in Vidam Park, which is a small park located in Boedapest, Hungaria.
Groteslurf Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Great pictures. I visited my first German funfair end last year in Hamburg while I was there for work. I was a flash visit but I was able to ride Olympia Looping so that was worth the visit.
Rider117 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 Oh, I got some beer pictures but my memory got a little distorted at that point! Plus, I only took pictures during the evening and it was mostly of the rides really. I got a few from the Hard Rock Cafe in Munich and the beer there from the local brewery was awesome!
DBru Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Wow...that looks awesome! Great photos. How much does it cost to get in/ride all of the rides at the fair?
Rider117 Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 It varies per ride, it was anywhere from 4-7 Euros.
crazydaveh Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Oktoberfest 2006 was awesome! Please post beer pics! I miss the good beer of Germany!
slither37 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 We were led to believe there would be beer and women?????? LOL, Great pictures! Love those European flats.
CorkscrewFoley Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 I take it they have wrist bands for Oktoberfest? It's too bad Flying Circus isn't travelling, I have heard how nauseating it is (and seen the footage on YouTube too).
GeorgeT Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Flying Circus is just ill...I didn`t like the ride itself, but it LOOKS awesome, it really does... Our best travelling flat, XXL, is missing, just like LASER elissa, ähäm sorry, I meant alias Teststrecke...they`re both at Cannstatter Wasen (nearly at the same time) which is also a GREAT german funfair...(can someone deliver some pics, pleeease !) GeorgeT
ParkTrips Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I take it they have wrist bands for Oktoberfest? The rides are owned by different operators, some of which only have one or two rides
willh51 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Wow, that looks awesome. I was in Munich this summer and would love to go back for Oktoberfest. A liter of Paulaner Wit then Olympia Looping sounds fun.

GeorgeT George, I can't remember, is the XXL a Booster or a Street Fighter? As for Flying Circus, the ride alone looks evil. I had a friend of mine on another forum retell her horror stories on it, then again, she was drinking on an empty stomach too...
coastered Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 George, I can't remember, is the XXL a Booster or a Street Fighter? No, the XXL is a larger version of the KMG Afterburner.
GeorgeT Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I know, EVERYTHING is a question of the personal taste, but this thing is just awesome. You have so strong positive G`s when you fly through the station and "endless"airtime on top...by far the best flat I`ve ever been on...and even some of my friends who normally don`t care that much for flats LOVED the ride... GeorgeT
DBru Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Wow...that ride looks insane! Does that gondola swing higher than the HUSS Giant frisbees?
GeorgeT Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 Yes, it swings up to about 135 degrees, the huss frisbee`s stop at about 90 degrees...and this one is MUCH bigger/higher...maybe you could call this an "outside-in-maxair". Anyone able to compare ??? GeorgeT
Rider117 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 What fair is that at? I've never seen them at any of the Fairs in Germany before?
hobbit Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 I hope i am next year there! Olympialooper here i come!
CorkscrewFoley Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah, this was more like a Street Fighter (or KMG Afterburner). Thanks for the link George.
