A fun Day at the Taunus Wunderland!
It was chilly and we were the casseroles in our shorts but we had a good time and my favorite part is that next time we can rent out a BBQ area and the kids can go off on their own...well, I'll probably still go with Link.
PS This is a do it yourself park, not a lot of attendants, so if you get hurt it's your own fault. It was great actually, I learned how to run the bumper cars and there was no snot nosed kid hating his job. Don't worry there were attendants on the roller coasters and the bigger rides.

Some people can't handle the rolling carpet |

Just inside the entry was is their castle |

Frogs that you could make sing |
 |
The men enjoying some bumper cars |
 |
Rae trying to hit people, Isa actively avoiding it |
 |
One determined driver |
 |
A non scary ride with some height, it's gotta be a first, you control how high you go and then let go and fall slowly back down. |

A peddle dragon coaster, fun exercise, crafty Germans |
 |
This ride is call Be a Sioux, as he is one he was a natural |
 |
Super Swings |
 |
Bob sized bumper cars, he was so dedicated to being a good driver that he even parallel parked his car when he was done. |
 |
They may be short on trampoline flips but the do a good bum |
 |
I think this was their favorite part of the park |
 |
The slowest super slide in the world |
 |
Bob and Rae racing ish |

The kid coaster was Bob's favorite ride, the girls preferred the bigger one |
 |
Enjoying a quiet spin |
 |
That .50 Euro did not go to waste here |
 |
It might have here |
 |
Link's turn for a spin |
 |
ahhhhhh |
 |
soggy |
 |
but happy |
 |
At the feeding zoo, there was no petting, there was one very aggressive sheep. Mostly he bothered Isa but here he is with Rae |
 |
Isa enjoying the tinier residents |
 |
Link's a looker not a feeder |
 |
The tiny old west town, I didn't know people used to be so small. |
 |
We are so much bigger than they are that we have to ride on top of their train cars. |
 |
Rae was abusing the surfing ride |
 |
Isa just enjoyed it |
 |
Steering the tiny ship, couldn't get it to go anywhere but round and round |
 |
Isa and Patrick showing how cool they are |
 |
Isa finally got brave enough to go by herself |
 |
They even have a bit of an aviary here, and Rae loves a good red macaw |
 |
Ahoy matey paddle over it's time to get out |
 |
Probably the kids'(kid's? I'm pretty sure my teaching family is ashamed of me right now) second favorite place to play, the center spun, it was hilarious |
 |
It's not so easy for big kids to hold on |
 |
Told ya |
 |
Did I mention that it was Star Wars Day? |
 |
This park is very serious about their Star Wars, no crap costumes here |
 |
And a lot of people dressed up, employees or not |
 |
So this was Taunus Wunderland, we'll take you when you come to see us! |
