Oktoberfest night [View all]

Only got there for one night. New record for attendees, 7+ million, benefited by having the XXL version. 18 days instead of the usual 16. We can thank great weather and the German Unification day holiday for adding 2 days to the event. Fun carnival to walk around. People watching seeing the rides. Avoiding the scary ones... The Teufelsrad, Devils wheel, is a raised in the center spinning disc. You try to be the last one on it. You win, admiration of the fans watching. You can go in and just watch the mayhem as groups of people try to stay on it.

This ride is my speed.


Here you pay to be the attraction.




Not this ride. Especially after the Wurst.


Snack time.


Another nope.
