Olympia Looping is going to be at Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park in London this winter.
The ride will be part of the huge German travelling funfair from November 18th to January 2nd - which features several other rides such as the 80m tall KMG "Mission Space" and Airwolf, which is similar to the new ride at Canada's Wonderland.
I'm pretty excited about this - definitely going to look into getting down there for an evening!

The worst bit is that Winter Wonderland is literally everything you hate about London (overpriced, crowded, the people) but with a sick fairground at the heart of it all.

A good thing there will be some Dutch and German rides this year to reduce that London feeling.

To me London looks like this weird hybrid that has all of the bad things about San Francisco and New York City fused into one being.

Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

UK - (10/12/16) Bad news for the UK... according to Screamscape sources the previously mentioned plan to bring Olympia Looping to the UK over the winter looks to have been scraped for unknown reasons. Any mention of it coming from removed from the coaster's website sometime last Friday.

I guess they saw the price of the going by train and thought: Screw that.

^ Uh-oh, the word "issue" also makes me think of the case where a new attraction (Was supposed to be a coaster.) at Blackgang Chine (Anyone familiar with that park?) didn't meet UK safety regulations.
Make a wish for Olympia Looping. Be a miracle!

The area for it is listed in the planning application so there's always hope.

One of the ECC members spotted a piece of black loop from the Olympia looping, driving West here in the Netherlands. As the ride finished operating on the fairground in Bremen, Germany. I think that's a good guess to see it going to the UK.
Why else would it travel via the Netherlands? Let alone in a westbound direction.
