I'm just curious to know what everyones favourite rides in the Oktoberfest fairground are?

I can't go on anything too fast, too high or anything that spins on it'self so my choices will be of the tamer variety.

I'll admit to loving the ghost trains, all 3 of them, particuarly the one where the guy hopped on the cart with us, even if I did scream my head off when i turned around.

I loved one of the smaller rollercoasters, I can't remember the name of it but it had a Conan the Barbarian style figure beside it.

I also spent nearly 2 hours in the Teufelrad, though I didn't participate at 3 euros it's great value for money and I found it hysterically funny(yes I'm easily amused) though unfortunately a boy was injured(broken arm i think) while I was there.

I liked that roller coaster in the back corner, the one that hangs from the track and goes upside down several times. I thought it was as good or better than the one at Busch Gardens in Florida.

BUMPER CARS- the faster the better!

Got friends that got engaged on the weekend, just before the Space/Star RollerCoaster. (Not sure its name- but its not the OlympiaCircle or the EuroStar).

The Teufelsrad takes the cake. Absolutely.

Can't remember what it is called. You sit in a swinging seat and the room revolves around you. All the sensation of "Oh God, this is 'orrible and scary!" without the worry that if some pisshead worker didn't tighten the nuts you could go flying off onto the roof of a beer tent.

Happens all the time. I tripped there one the first Sunday while reffing a boxing-match, we ended up sprawling all over each other. I was bruised from head to toe, including the beginnings of a black eye, and one guy probably had a consussion. But it was fun while it lasted.

The Hex'nschaukel. Absolutely fabulous.

@falconryfan - Not on anything that spins? The Krinoline doesn't revolve very fast and goes up and down as well, plus you get live ooompah-music. Old-fashioned fun.

I was trying to find the Krinoline which ride(s) was it next to?, I was looking forward to trying it but unfortunately I have no sense of direction and couldn't see it.

If you walk up from the Bierkarousel (a ride with a bar on it folks - not to be missed) towards Wet n' Wild and the Nymphenburger Sekt stand, which is at the cross street which leads to Bräurosl's Biergarten. It's a must do really.
Teufelsrad for Schadenfreude, you don't need to go on but can sit laughing while other people fall off.

Dou ever play "gang up on the stranger" with bumber cars?

That's fun and a great mind game. The trick is, don't hit anyone else but the one stranger. And everyone has to keep a straight face with a determined look. Frickin freaky.

A great laugh.
