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!

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

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

Image
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.

Image
"For Boat Jumping activity...Chris will be our ride op!"

Image
You pull the cord and up the lift you go!

Image
OMFG!!!!

Image
SKLOOSH! (Yes, that is the actual sound that water makes)

Image
Frozen in time...mid air.

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

Image
It's the facial expressions that sell the ride!

Image
See what I mean?

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

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

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

Image
The self-operated "kid power tower."

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

Image
And of course there is Klotti Coaster!

Image
Helix of death.

Image
Wall of death.

Image
Bunny hops of death.

Image
Swings of death.

Image
Dear of death.

Image
Seriously. This ride is freaking AWESOME!

Image
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:

Klotti coaster looks like so much fun, as does the rest of the park! The video was very enjoyable too, makes me really look forward to the East Coast trip!

There is Nautical Jets in Wicksteed Park right about 1/2 mile from here and the boats have been known to tip over in the water. I believe last time it happened to a 12 year old girl who was trapped upside down under the water. She made it out fine though unfortunatly
