NEW 2011 - X-Car Bayern Park Germany

[Kooky]

The coaster is opened to the public while they were still working on the theming. The station that will look like an old gun is not yet completed and the same with the theming in the surrounding area. Here are some photos of the opening from http://www.unserradio.de/default.aspx?ID=6220&showNews=1012780:

So the coaster is running and there some reports that is a really fun and extreme one of his kind. The speed during the ride looks really fast and the most elements are fun as hell. Just some elements are a little bit rough but the Bayern Park and Maurer and Söhne said that they were going to fix this in the winter break. Overall it looks like fun, but in a extreme way... especially if they launch you a secound time without a break, many people mentioned a "grey out" in the curve after the looping, because the g´s there were very extreme there. Overall a really nice coaster and addition, maybe a good visit for TPR next Oktoberfest-Trip.

And found a new offride-video in german forums with double launch:

That looks pretty awesome to me. The speed is pretty much non stop. My dream TPR trip would be to Germany, I would love some ERT double rides on this.

I sit in this train the video was filmed on our 90 minutes ERT on Freischütz... (coasterfriends.de) I rode the coaster 11 times and it is a very cool and intense coaster (Europs extremst Launch Coaster)... I also had a grey out.

 

Next year the coaster will have the new LED wheels

I am shocked that a small, unknown and VERY family park like this has installed what appears to be such an extreme coaster!

I rode it today and since my expecations were really low I was pleasantly surprised!

The ride is fun but the rattle just sucks. You would think after HRRR Maurer has fixed that problem but they still seem to be unable to deliver a smooth ride experience like Mack does.

The X-Cars just don't live up to what you would expect form "German engineering".

 

Freischütz is still a good addition to the Park.

My dream TPR trip would be to Germany, I would love some ERT double rides on this.

Agreed 100%

I didn`t ride it myself...but heard several times that the rattle very much depends on the place. While the rattle is okay in the front and the back of the cars...the middle has some serious rattle...

 

Gonna check that myself soon

Rattle or no rattle this just looks like a very intense ride - I really hope we see them designing more coasters like this in the future

[Kooky]

and they were working on the theming right now... the station will look like a gun and the terrain gets more plants and details and maybe they are ready to add the LED-Wheels to train this year

[Kooky]

after a long time... here is the first official onride video from this little gem:

[GeorgeT]

Hell...now THAT looks extreme

[Moose]

This looks like a great addition to a really unique gem of a park. The rider cam doesn't look too intense in that curve, but I know looks an be deceiving. I hope they can work out the kinks with it.

Wow thats so consistantly quick and forcefull. And those multiple cycle's are mad!

Its amazing how popular these Sky Flys seem to have become. I wonder if the spin counter will be visible to the guests as they ride as I'm pretty sure they already have one installed in the ride anyway.
