Klotten Park, Germany - Photos & Video

[robbalvey]

Klotten Park or technically known as "Wild-und Freizeitpark Klotten", but we'll just call it Klotten Park for the sake of the update.

This place is sort of the most well know of the "do-it-yourself" European parks. Meaning that most of the rides in the park are
self-operated. You walk up to the ride. Get in. Push a button. And off you go!

Anyway, on to the photos....

Be sure to check out the video at the end of the photos to see some of the "Self-operated" rides in action!

This is Klotten Park. We know this because the sign says so.

First stop – Sea Pigs! As you will see in the video, there is some
question as to what these guys are really called.

Nautic Jet is arguably one of the coolest rides in the world. You can
find these in many European parks, but for some reason Klotten’s just
seems the most awesome.

It just never gets old watching people do this. Just ONCE you want to see the boat tip over.

It's the facial expressions that sell the ride!

It's that moment *right* before you hit the water. Your entire life flashes before you.

It could also be the green nasty malaria water that freaks you out too!

The "Wheel-of-death" is another awesome do it yourself ride.

No "do it yourself" park would be complete without a happy fun slide.

And of course there is Klotti Coaster!

Seriously. This ride is freaking AWESOME!

And one more shot of the boat jump since watching people go from being freaked out for their life to soaking wet never gets old.
