The Oktoberfest village sits right under the ride, so the track fills the sky above the shop roofs. Original ThrillZing photo, taken July 12, 2001, restored and upscaled from the original camera file. Free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 with credit to ThrillZing and a link to this page.

🎢 Park Day Gear
Crossbody Phone Holster
Keeps your phone strapped to you, not in a loose-article bin. Zip it before the lift hill and walk straight off the exit ramp.
Check price on Amazon
Waterproof Phone Pouch (2-Pack)
Rapids, log flumes and splash zones without the rice-bag aftermath. The touchscreen still works through the window, so you can still take photos.
Check price on Amazon
Disposable Rain Ponchos (Family Pack)
Cheaper than the $15 poncho at the gift shop and you get a whole bag. Toss one in every backpack for water rides and pop-up storms.
