Day 2, Wiener Prater and drive to Frezieit-land Gieselwind

Well, slept in til the phone rang in my room and the front deak guy informs me check out was a half hour ago, so I collect all my stuff up and head down and check out and retrieve my car and drive the few blocks to the prater where I find a free parking lot and head in.

I dont remember exact details from this day exept I rode all the rest of the coasters plus the Risenrad and a few other random flats that I dont really see in the US.

Basically I stared my day riding the coaster I parked closest to being Megablitz a spurisingly decent Vekoma sit down non looper with inline seating, then I wandered towards their Senic Railway I believe called Hochschaubahn which was ok as far as senic railways go (plus another senic railway credit) :)

After that I ended on their Wilde Maus a standard portable Maurer Mouse. I did miss one credit at Prater that being a Boomerang, so no big loss there, it was in the process of getting a paint job.

As for flats I know I rode (in no particular order) Zamperla Discovery, a Soriorni&Moser Sombaro where the guy takes down the riders names and hometowns and announces that stuff during the ride, was pretty neat and got a few mins of fame being from not just the USA but Chicago, lets see, also rode Die Glocke the Funtime Bell ride which was shockingly lame, also rode a few other rides, but in the end I rode around $50 worth of rides in the 2 days including the €7 Risenrad which was alot of fun and provided some good picture oppertunities for the park and surrounding area. Also at some point in the day I had my first real german meal at a beer garden inside the Prater noticed a sign that said Chicken Wings mit Wedges and it was like €6 seemed like a deal so I got it, and it was good, though with curry on both the chicken and the potato wedges both were damn good, the chicken was some of the most tender chicken I've ever had and I think those were the first potato wedges I actually enjoyed (generally I dont care for wedges), they were battered just right and the curry added a bit of kick that was nice.

I hung around til 3 or so taking a load of pics then I hit the road for the expected 7-8 hour drive to Frezieit land. The drive was fairly uneventful, and this was one of 3 nights I had with no hotel as I really had no idea what time I'd leave the Prater and where I'd end up by the time I was to sleepy to continue driving, but i made it all the way and I stopped at a rest area maybe 10 miles from the park where i slept for the night in the car. And I noticed I wasnt the only person using their car as a hotel so it worked out well.

I guess that's about it, was a straightforwards day taken at a somewhat leisurly pace and I didnt get lost at all :)


next: Frezieit-land Gieselwind and drive to Kassel, DE.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!
