 | Klotten Park, Germany - Photos & Video 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.  "For Boat Jumping activity...Chris will be our ride op!"  You pull the cord and up the lift you go!  OMFG!!!!  SKLOOSH! (Yes, that is the actual sound that water makes)  Frozen in time...mid air.  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!  See what I mean?  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.  The self-operated "kid power tower."  No "do it yourself" park would be complete without a happy fun slide.  And of course there is Klotti Coaster!  Helix of death.  Wall of death.  Bunny hops of death.  Swings of death.  Dear of death.  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. Hope you guys all liked the update. Please download our Klotten Park video here to see some of this insanity in action: Theme Park Review's Klotten Park Video! Enjoy! --Robb Alvey www.themeparkreview.com ps. Special thanks to Hanno Roos for his photos!

| Re: Klotten Park, Germany - Photos & Video Those pictures are hilarious! Thanks for sharing. It is fun to see what's happening in other countries. I don't think we'll ever have this sort of a park (self operated) in the litigious United States. |

| Re: Klotten Park, Germany - Photos & Video ^ The coaster is one of like three rides in the park that actually has an operator. I think the "Aquazone", the coaster and one of the wet/dry slides are the only rides that have ride ops. --Robb
