Coastin' Thru Europe Episode 14: SCHWABEN PARK

Our next stop is a weird one! Schwaben Park is a small family owned amusement park located in the middle of nowhere Germany. Home to 4 roller coasters and a variety of family attractions, this was a park we visited for one reason only... to ride the chicken coaster, Wilde Hilde!

Sarah at BGW: "This really feels like I am in Germany". Sarah in Germany: "This really feels like I am in Busch Gardens Williamsburg".

[@garminkid]

I guess BGW is accurate😂

Lol

[@Artbyhurricanyounot]

“Everywhere should have a wawa” AGREED.

[@grassrootslandscaping7639]

That mountain/bobsled coaster cross looks hype

[@drdewott9154]

Yeah agree. The official ride models name is Bobkart and is built by Wiegand, the same company that builds a lot of the world's Alpine coasters. Bobkarts and non powered bobsleds along hillsides like it are very popular at smaller parks across Europe. I don't think a single Bobkart ride has ever been built in the US though, likely due to Health and Safety regulations preventing self operated rides like it from operating.

[@jacquelineanderson4309]

Looks like so much fun!

[@drdewott9154]

Man lemme just say I'm really glad you 3 went to this place. Schwaben park is just such a good example of a stereotypical little regional theme park in Europe, y'know not those that aim to be major tourist attractions but just a fun place for those in the region to visit and have fun at. This park definitely has all the hallmarks of such parks like the self operated quirky rides that are often unique to them like the Electric bobsled, the waterslide, the playground equipment, animal exhibits and quirky small coasters. Heck parks like Djurs and Fårup were even more like this back in the day, both of those parks are kinda like in the middle phase between a small regional park like Schwaben, and bigger attractions that draws people from near and far like Europa park and Phantasialand. Can't wait for the Tripsdrill vlog! Also yeah Force One is a Zierer. Specifically their Elevated Seating Coaster model or ESC. Its decently common across Europe, especially its smaller parks. Heck Force Ones layout is actually the standard layout and has been cloned a few times, like at Park Spirou in France, Hunderfossen in Norway (themed to the Pinchcliff Grand Prix animated movie), and even one at Ankapark/Wonderland Eurasia in Turkey. One in France at the park OK Corral features a mix of regular seating and horseback motorbike style seating, one at Legoland Billund in Denmark features a drop track. There was actually an ESC in New Jersey once called Crossbow. It was recently relocated though and is now operating as Forza at Tosselilla Sommerland, a small local amusement park at the southern tip of Sweden near Denmark.

[@yupyup8305]

2:24 that's quite common in Germany actually. A lot of farmers sell their products at the farm in vending machines.

[@CoasterStudios]

I love that

[@pikaking1275]

Wait it’s all Busch gardens Williamsburg? always has been😏

[@BlackMamba.1]

6:42 I was actually crying that is the funniest thing I've ever seen

[@zygoat2369]

This feels like a Rollercoaster Tycoon park and I'm all for it

[@Danrarbc]

The gas station interview was awesome.

[@OfficialJosephology]

Can't sleep on these smaller parks man, they have so much charm. Also the buzz buzz b*tch comment from Sarah was hilarious lol

[@Happymali10]

On a side-note: "Force One" cost 3 Million Euros to buy and build, and the park could only do it because the local government gave them 170k Euros from a "tourism improvement"-fund.

[@Milchdieb]

Thank you Coaster Studios for introducing me to the most unique Coaster Song... EVAR...Lol

[@AtteRocket]

6:17 Hahaha, almost every playground in Finland has one of these! I had so much fun in these when I was a kid.

[@aliegg4790]

wawa is my home, it should be in every country and every city

[@ft4709]

I think it's time to postulate my theory on the German coaster equator. North of it the GP answer to favorite coaster is most likely going to be Taron whereas south of it it's going to be Blue Fire. I think it pretty much coincides with the Weißwurst equator.

[@drdewott9154]

Likely. Perhaps some in the very north are gonna say Kärnan or perhaps Colossos.

[@StanRaufzeil]

Thanks for having a caffè latte, sarah, i work at the company that makes it. Hope it was good.

[@m666nsch]

these vending machines are from local farmers who want to sell their goods without long transportation ways :)

[@michael7054]

Great video! The chicken coaster looked fun and interesting! Very interesting park!

[@timjacoboski751]

When I first saw Matt’s legs moving that fast I THOUGHT IT WAS SPED UP LMAO how on earth did he pedal that fast??!!!!

I have no idea but its so funny hahahaha

3:30 Taylor suddenly went all Swedish

[@MH_ZeR0]

I love how shocked Americans always are at those swing things at the 6:20 mark. They're so common here in the UK and Europe! we have one in the play area of the park across the road from my house XD

[@coasterknowledge1982]

Sarah really walked up to a this man in a gas station asked him where’s his from and said “yes excellent” when he pronounced it right. That got a first hand American experience

[@marzok9632]

Didn't you visit *AZURA* ? Because this is a great Water-Darkride with Fire+Fountains and one of the main attractions out there? Or was it closed?

[@Joypyf]

As an enthusiast with an almost 2 year old, I can’t wait for you two to have kids and bring them along on your adventures 😂 it just makes it that much more fun! 🥰

[@coasterboss1654]

I believe there was actually a fair that once operated in Hawaii. And there once was a Hawaiian roller coaster ride

[@Leeeleee17]

Great video!!!

[@Cirrus5005]

Parks like this are so good when you go in with little to no expectations and yet they surprise you with all their quirks. Such a fun video, 6:42 got me good with him glancing back in fear that he might be caught. 🤣

[@Happymali10]

5:35 I walked into the "Back of house" at Hansapark once by accident. Late in the evening, in the dark, and I only noticed because I ended up at a dead end in a corner of the park (literal corner, fence on two sides)

[@peterschwab5259]

schwab park

[@Happymali10]

9:10 Schwabenpark used to have a group of chimpanzees, animals rescued from private ownership or circuses. They stopped putting them on display around 2017 after increased protests, and since they didn't breed or actively pursue new ones the population is gone now.

[@breakooof7809]

are you going to have another review about efteling? last one wasn't really complete in my opinion

[@jasonsmith8300]

Looks like a weird park and that's what's so great about it if i could afford to go to germany that would be the first place i would go

[@micahblack2594]

It's a Coaster Studios miracle! Sarah just sung in two videos in row!

[@Fiendstein]

Love it!

[@Fry_tag]

Hummel is German for bumblebee. Brummel ist sort of variation of the German word brummen ( to buzz). So the ride is called Bumblebee Buzzing

[@xDomxMagicx]

I can finally say I got a few coaster credits before Taylor has.

I hope they're paying for the rights to the new Wilde Hilde theme song. Certified banger.

Nagashima Spaland has a dueling electric alpine coaster. Not sure if you did that one when you went there but if you haven't and ever decide to go back, You should try it.

[@coasternerdcam5412]

Thanks for the post about my birthday it means a ton

[@hedgehogcoasters7239]

Prior to watching this i thought this park was worth the visit just because of the wilde hilde theme alone, but the park actually looks to be solid

[@maxhagenauer24]

Did Force One have any decent positive Gs or airtime moments?

[@jackfeldman3916]

Love the EU edge lane roads! First part of vid

I know this is a random question but how do I get over my fear over launching roller coaster I rode X2 for the first time this weekend and tbh west coast racer was more scary then X2 for me

[@bilderkin4799]

You guys must have not heard of the 500 ft, launched, 160 mph, 20 inversion coaster with a 160 degree drop and the most airtime and track on a coaster going to this park.

@@CoasterStudios It's called "Azura" and in the building with that water wheel. (You didn't miss too much, but it's a really weird mixture between boat ride and water show that is kinda... "surprising"). Having said that, there are some people who feel it's the highlight of the park 😀. (Ride system by Mack Rides and soundtrack by IMAscore, of course!)
