I found this on a German Message Board, however they are 7 hours ahead of the US where it is already April 1. I dont know if they do much for april fools in Germany, so until at least til the end of this week, take it with a grain of Salt, but Kinzler will debut a large new transportable by 2009, so on with it....

(heads up also, Kirmesmacher is a German reality TV shows that follows around various showman families)


(it's translated from German, I cleaned up some of the stuff that didnt make sense or repeated words from babelfish)

Stuttgart newspaper today, part of economics:

(Stuttgart) in the TV serial "the Kirmesmacher" was already ventilated in January the secret. The company Kinzler brings a new attraction on the German festplaetze. After some delay of the manufacturing firm Mack from Waldkirch the "Bobsled" will have premiere at Cannstattter Wasn for the first time. In the connection the construction in Freiburg is developed. The courses of 640 meters in a kind artificial ice channel concern drive a roller coaster in that. The special to this from recreational parks already it admitted attraction is that the drive is usually made not as by means of a chain elevator, but by a new LIM system. The manufacturer explains: "a conventional elevator system requires large space requirement. Around the course in addition, on smaller terrains(space) to install to be able we use an electromagnetic drive; Similarly in principle that of the Transrapid." To the company Kinzler comes now still some at work. Because the decoration elements and vehicles for the loading of the plant are manufactured in self-direction. Scarcely 20 truck transportation will be necessary, in order to transport "Bobslide" from a festplatz on the other hand. With a current consumption of 250kW the plant is however rather a "kleinverbraucher" Kinzler: "the energy costs rise kontinuirlich. That was to be laid out the motive the drive electromagnetically. Besides the lighting of the plant consists almost exclusively of currentsaving LEDS." The which close branches will have themselves to wait up to the premiere in September still somewhat. However the spring people celebration takes place, on under others also the other roundabouts of the company Kinzler to find sind.(MI) starting from that 12.04.2008

So the long and short of it is this September at Canstatter Volksfest in Stuttgart, Showman Kinzler will debut a portable, LIM launched Mack Bobsled coaster, if this in fact true. And if it isnt, it's a damn good one I think :)

That's a mouthful! It's definately a creative idea nonetheless.
