Yay, good.
Hoping for some good flats too.
Unfortunately, this year we seem to actually be losing flats rather than gaining any good ones. The initial planning application for this years event can be viewed here:

We are losing rock rage, superspin, the mondial furioso and the take off. New attractions on the map include a new Viewing Tower as well as "Dr Archibald" which is currently premiering at Hamburg and consists of a funhouse section along with a VR dark ride(this is owned by the same people as Bavarian Village so unless there are technical issues it is pretty much garunteed to attend). All the "main " flat rides should be returning though with Bayern Breaker also due to return.
The map also advertises a new ghost train and all funhouses set to return. In the Alpine Adventure zone there is a plot labelled as "Coaster"- we do not know what this is yet however I assume it will be the usual Pinfari named "Thriller" owned by Mannings or alternatively it could be Mannings new wild mouse. I am personally still holding out and hoping for Alpina Bahn, Spinning Racer or Höllenblitz on this plot although I know that is an extremely unlikely scenario!
**Please be aware this is an initial planning document so things WILL change** e.g Bayern Breaker pulled out last minute last year and Superspin stepped in so anything can happen.
I'm glad it's back, it's one of the best travelling coasters I've ridden, not sure what else could be better, maybe one of the other Schwarz. I haven't ridden any of the others.
Fingers crossed they bring back the Airwolf, I'd love another go at that, the Breaker was damn tasty too. I wasn't sold on the Take Off last year though, looked great but didn't ride half as good as it looked. Hope they ditch the gash invert this year, one of the worst rides at the event every year.
Airwolf and take off aren't due to be back. Bayern breaker is supposed to return this year along with the Euro Coaster Invert.
I was hoping for something other than an overrated Schwarz. Shame.
I find it very difficult to understand how you can call OL "overrated". I rode it last year, and yes, while it may not be the strongest coaster in terms of layout, it is incredibly smooth and also picks up an amazing amount of force around the track. The magnitude of the structure itself and the fact that it can be transported all the way to Germany from England is so impressive that I find it hard to see how someone could call it overrated.
