If there are any rollercoaster fans out there, get yourself to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland...now!

One of the best rollercoasters in the world is there this year - Olympia Looping.

Check it out here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFNKyi_lzyg&t=254s

I'm going on Wednesday, and am so excited :toot:

Other rides to look out for there are Hangover (85m drop tower), Wild Maus XXL (best wild mouse coaster in the world) and XXL (giant swing).

But the star is Olympia Looping - it was transported from Germany to the UK in over 50 huge lorries!

£9 for the privilege :dread:

Though much cheaper than travelling to Vienna earlier this year to ride it at the Prater park :slol:

£9 is a bargain considering they have to transport the thing all the way from Germany on over 50 large trucks, spend a week building it up and taking it down, and probably having to pay a small fortune to rent a space at Winter Wonderland!

I've seen that coaster before but it doesn't look anything special.

Edit: The wild mouse is just the same layout as Rattlesnake at Chessington but slightly longer with extra section straight after lifthill, but no theming.

Wow!!!!!!!!! :toot: :D :)

I went on Olympia Looping tonight (4 times - cost me £36) :oops:

By far the best rollercoaster I've ever been on...Absolutely amazing.

Wilde Maus XXL was also incredible, and Hangover Tower was insane...

Looked it up on YouTube it just does normal loops, it looks pretty cool but in no way worth £9 !

I wish! I'm just a huge rollercoaster fan, and appreciate the enormous efforts of dragging 100s of tonnes of steels across countries!
