Oktoberfest 2025

[Doppel Looping]

I have made it to Oktoberfest this year .

My friend mike is meeting me tomorrow to start an achterbahn und bier trip.

 

i started a week earlier and went to the drinktec convention and we will spend some time in munich before heading out to freiburg for europa park, mannheim for holiday park, home of expedition geforce, stuttgart for tripsdrill and the cannstatter wasen fest before returning to munich to finish off.

I saw part of the opening parade  lots of horse drawn bierwagons and brass bands.

I have confirmed that olympia looping is still one of the most awesome things on the planet  i got on the third train and it was great  

You must stay hydrated and the paulaner hefeweizen booth nearby offers a nice view. 
 

alpina bahn was running well too. It is my first time trying the new trains. I got a middle seat for some mild airtime. There are no headrests and at the bottom of the first drop there is a janky little curve that will keep chiropractors in business. 
 

Anybody else here, feel free to reach out. It is hot today at 30C but an awesome time. Maybe some night rides would be good. 
 

i was last here in 2014 and rode olympia looping 15 times. My goal itls to do 20 this year. Tickets are 14 euro bit still less than the airfare and more legroom than lufthansa.

Monday was cooler and rainy so we went to the deutsches museum. Really cool. 

Then a little refreshment at the hofbrau haus where we met new friends  

 

Then off to the weisen  

It was misty foggy  and agreat atmosphere for some night rides  

 

And then finished off with an upside down beer to review olympia looping. 
 

not sure how to make this right side up: maybe turn phone upside down. 
we are going there today and will check our the oide wiesen the old oktoberfest.

Also lots of neat flat rides with cool lighting  

The mist made them glow
