Sunday evening, 23h, it was the end of the 163rd Stuttgart Beer . The official end. In practice, they were already beginning to 22:30 to store and remove. But we will still consider that on Sunday evening 23h was H 0. And look a little webcam that gives an overview of Wasen, to see how fast our German friends fairground rides dismantled their ...
3 H, disassembly begins in the not so cold October night .
H +11, the sun came out but the freefall tower and the Star Flyer (left) disappeared. And there is not much about the Ferris wheel. Then it's less funny and disassembly slows dramatically for the rest. If you look tonight, we see this:
H + much, put away inside the tents. In fact for a more general idea of assembly and disassembly, it happens like this: for large tents, it starts mid-July (to be ready by end September), the rides arrive between September and the beginning week before the party following their other summer, the dismantling of the rides is completed in three days, the tents lasts a month and a half. I was asked long ago where we put the tents the rest of the year, I recently found the answer in an old edition of the Volksfest magazine: they spend the winter, spring and early summer in warehouses in the region, with all the equipment that will with (including tables, benches, and approximately 20,000 pints of beer used in each tent).
About Volskfest, I have a funny story (well in my opinion) on what one has the right to sell or not. Including things to eat. You think you can bring your sand and sell what you want? No! Everything is regulated. For example we have no right to sell mulled wine. Except as this year's Oktoberfest in Munich because of particularly low temperatures (it did not exceed 8 degrees ...), ice-cream sellers were allowed to sell expcetionnellement mulled wine. but just the ice-cream sellers. And only the second week. And just because it was cold. Oh no, so we do not mess with that.
I had always wondered what value the numbers of visitors indicated by the organizers of these celebrations. In Stuttgart they give after the opening weekend, a midterm the following weekend, and a total figure and the final Friday before (!) The end of the party. Last year it gave 1 million, 2 million, 4.5 million fantatsique absolute record we are super happy . This year, it gave 900 000, 2 million, 4 million we are super excited to get to 4 million because we had some visitors in its first week due to bad weather . Brief with the same "number" mid-term, one arrives at inquisitive differences at the end. In passing this year they talked about 900,000 visitors the first weekend, not much of the second due to bad weather and a million the last because he was super nice, and having seen it with my own eyes I can ensure that there were more people the second weekend ... Finally whatever ... But I am disturbed, sic he figures correspond to anything (we doubt that these are broad estimates, but they could at least have a vague connection with reality), why get results down 500 000 people? Leaves to make communication, is to tell you the best, no?

I let you think about all this watching, siv e wish, the second part of the fireworks of the closing of the Stuttgart Beer 2008. I like the passage Aerosmith Dream On.
Although I wish Viva Colonia . It would have been pleased suitable anyway.
