Wait... you said "Biggest Marksman's Fair in the world" - are you referring to guns? If so... Achterbahnen+Waffen (gleichzeitig) = ICH LIEBE DEUTSCHLAND!!!!!!!!!!!

What exactly does that Devil Rock flat ride do? My guess is you sit outwards, spin, shake up and down, and flip freely. Am I correct?

^That looks like it would make me barf after about 2 minutes!

Superbowl you always have amazing pictures. Thanks as always!

German fairs always seem to have the best looking flat rides!

I actually ran across a Huss pirate ship the other day that had West Germany listed as the country of origin!

Do the seats on Flash flip freely as well? They look like they can, but in all the pictures the seats seem to be oriented the same way. Also fantastic pictures.

Great pictures. I have always wanted to visit a fair like this.
The carnivals and fairs we have in North America can't even be compared to what they have over there.

Süßer Jahve im Himmel! Warum hat Amerika keine Fahrgeschäfte so schön... so verrückt wie dieses? Na, Amerika kann nicht alles haben. Wenigstens, haben wir fünfmal so viele Achterbahnen wie Deutschland... und die meiste die Achterbahnen hier drüber sind nicht nur groß, aber auch ausgezeichnet.

^^As far as I can tell from the closeup pictures of Flash, it does not look like the cars flip. If you look closely, it doesn't appear to have any spinning mechancs. *Checks youtube.* Nope, no flipping. But as you can see here: it really doesn't need any flipping. It's already insane enough. Although if it flipped it would be absolutely unbelievable.

Thanks for the video. It doesn't look like it flips for the most part, but at 1:41 it looks like one of the cars(or whatever)does a very intense one. Maybe I'm just crazy. Ride looks like fun though.

EDIT:
I'm not crazy. Maybe it's a feature that operators turn on/off(I know absolutely NOTHING about if this can really happen), but the riders clearly flip on their own in this video. I think that they only can do so when the ride is not making complete revolutions. Interesting.

No set of words in any human language can appropriately describe the extent of my endless excitement, awe, and simultaneous jealousy that is surging through my mind right now.
