The Big One:-

Offiical report has been released for this years fair over in Germany.

As well as the welcome returns of Skater Topscan, Shake, Power Tower2, Kinzlers Breakdance and Devil Rock. There are some new additions this time a new Booster Maxxx and new giant wheel.

Spinning Racer is back (this was the coaster that the showman bought when he sold whirwind to camelot) Image

Future World (dark simulator ride). I know nothing about this apart from the fact was expensive and its very big. (will post here when I find out more)

Bruch's Alpina Bahn Rollercoaster is making an appearance also
Image

As is. Renoldi's Hollenblitz Indoor Spinning Coaster
Image

And Lowenthal's Mack Wild Wasser Log Flume.
Image

Something which I am very excited to see is the brand new ride "Rocket"
Image
Image

I shall update more when I get it.

That Alpina Bahn (It's a Shwarzy isn't it?) thingy looks epic and that Rocket looks terrifying :shock:

Is that spinning coaster not the same as whirlwind?
Blaze

It certainly looks like it, Whirlind was taken from the travelling scene, so it must be a like for like replacement.

Now, i'm not normally a fan of fairs but this looks fantastic, a coaster at a fairground which isn't a wild mouse always gets a thumbs up from me.

No Miami Surfing ride? Very poor! :P

Of course! .. Although I expect a high ticket of AT LEAST 10€ a go, as its only 16 seats

Oh the log flume boats arrived today too:-

That looks amazing, the gulf in scale between UK and European fairs is staggering. That log flume looks better than any of our permanent ones, let alone our tiny travelling equivalent. Then they have a MS spinner as a 2nd tier coaster as opposed to a Reverchon spinning mouse as a headline attraction :(

Kryns just linked me a Vid of Air Maxx which I assume will be at one of the fairs. O think it's airmaxx anyway, searching seems to come up with a few different rides

This looks like a stunner!

Does look like a good fair. Most of the flat rides don't interest me but the large scale water rides and coasters look great.
