"Join us in july, and u can enjoy the "Euro-Star "and the "Power Tower 2 "as well as the largest transportable "Big Wheel " and even the much anticipated "Breaker". During Schuetzenfest in Hannover you will get a full programme of action and thrills. Its exactly what speed junkies are looking for. You ll get a personal lesson in physics on the gravitiy defying "EuroStar" , the only transportable Coaster in the World!
We promise that you thats this will be an experience you will never forget! Hannover is literally turnes upside down during the biggest Marksmen´s Fair in the World !"

Why can't festivals in the US be as awesome as those? I am extremely jealous. Nice pictures.

Agreed!!!

What is that blue track inverted coaster? Is it a B&M traveling model? That's what it looks like!

Yeah, Tornado & Tornado. lol. I believe Eurostar was their first and I'm also pretty sure that is was Werner Stengel's first solo design after being an apprentice to Schwarzkopf for a good deal of time.

Anyway I think some US fairs actually do have traveling coasters but none like that. Our flats are half as new/good either with the possible exceptions of absolute classics like the Zipper. But it's true, the US fair circuit leaves me wanting, but then again it doesn't attract 4 million people inside of a month, German fairs do...
