Thanks for correcting me Dave. I just thought that since the posts and the captions were coming from you, that the pictures were yours as well. Huge props to Robb, Elissa and whom so ever submitted photos. It allows the rest of us to live vicariously through you and your adventures. So thank you! I hope you are having a grand time! It looks as if you are.

Great pictures,

there are not many pictures from Silverstar (but on the 2008 Europapark trip, are many pictures from the ride)

BlueFire is a great ride !!

I only rode Silver Star once. They gave us first rides in the morning after our Eurosat ERT but to be honest it's not my favorite ride in the park, and there are so many photos of it already.

 

I can't imagine we would be taking photos that aren't already in our park index, and you pretty much have to go outside the park to get decent photos.

How did you like it? I know at first you thought the ride was tame, and then in 2008 you thought it was much better. How was it this time around?

So you liked Blue Fire, Robb...nice to hear.

 

How was the comparison between morning and afternoon rides ? Is is just me, or does Blue Fire run MUCH better later the day ? You know, I was a litlle unhappy, when I heard about MORNING ERT on B.F...

 

But if you all enjoyed your morning-rides everythings fine, I guess.

 

Besides...totally looking forward to Olympia-Looping and hopefully some flatride-reports.

 

Have fun...

I couldn't tell the difference between our morning rides and afternoon rides. Other than maybe the first two trains of the morning, one of which felt like it was going to roll back, I'd say the majority of our ERT rides were about the same as our later afternoon rides.

 

I don't think anyone was unhappy about having morning ERT.

Theme Park Review rented out Olympia Looping and had 90 minutes of ERT before the Wurzburg fair began.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with these restraints. If you complain about these restraints, please go ride a Vekoma SLC or a Pinfari looper and then come talk to me.

120458514_Fair5.jpg.2f23e845fcedef6f6108f1256a3ec36e.jpg

It's not quite as intense as Edmonton's Mindbender...but OMG it's awesome!!!

TPR drank beers bigger than their heads.

906466450_Fair24.jpg.d36cf71991f7aa22ca83d03e8ecc3063.jpg

Trust me when I say a lot of beer was consumed.

This was a real German beer tent...kind of like being at Busch Gardens Festhaus, but for real.

482826793_Fair27.jpg.5851c830ebc5e764c5339db99598a100.jpg

Lots of beer...

And pretzels! The biggest German pretzels I've ever had!!!

It was time for the beer tapping ceremony to open the fair. The German Oompa band was there.

1682663927_Fair38.jpg.0a47770f3852bbacdf3b7cded203f757.jpg

The mayor of Wurzburg was there to tap the "First keg" of the fair.

1489461713_Fair39.jpg.93eea054df9802819fcea56658aeb6fa.jpg

The fair is officially OPEN! Free beer until the ceremonial first keg is empty!

Part of the ceremony is to see who in the beer tent can climb the pole and ring the bell.

1976144770_Fair42.jpg.c44e25b36609cf2c18e67cfc988c44e4.jpg

Can Elissa do it?

She's made it pretty far up!

No German fair is complete without an insanely fast bumper car ride.

Totally random fun stuff at the fair...

The more giant German pretzels the better!

Did we mention that Olympia Looping was awesome?

867462548_Fair63.jpg.a10f1a08b75468426177c499c4d4464c.jpg

...but they gave us these wicked, cool acid trip glasses!

1128875657_Fair64.jpg.8c59cfc20fd853a761ea7a9be0d60563.jpg

At this very moment I realize that the best reason for getting rich (maybe just a "little") is to be able to join this kind of TPR trip.

 

Now seriously it absolutely awesome what you`re making of the situation...with GeForce and RingRacer falling out. Without even being on this trip you (Robb and Elissa) have my total respect for what you offer to all the people you`re travelling with.

 

I guess you have a lot of fans out there...and you TOTALLY deserve it.

Now thats a big suprise for me seeing a bunch of Americans doing a German fair Never expected that TPR would visit one during there trips. Looks like you had some great fun. In a few weeks the fair in Dusseldorf starts which i'm visiting each year. Looks pretty the same only a bit bigger but without Olympia looping. A well, a ride on Alphina Bahn is also Ok. Looking forward on what you'll think of Joris en de Draak in the Efteling. And it's great to see Kristen enjoying the trip like the others in the group. I'm hoping my girl grows up fast so she can ride a coaster with daddy

Outstanding! Its coming back to me. Maaskrug - the ideal measure of beer. Oh how I miss German fairs, at least what I remember of them... Got to go back soon - show my kid where she came into the world.

Out of curiosity--how does Olympia Looping compare to the old Thriller? I've ridden Thriller at SFAW(before much devistation was done to it) and it was an awesome ride (Better than second base, however, not third), but it always reminded me of Olympia Looping.
