The 2024 Festival was different, and a lot better, for me as I was able to drive quite a few distances. Thanks to Robert Braunschweig and his T57 Stelvio, chassis 57202 Currently for sale, incidentally. The programme started on the Thursday, September 12, however, we arrived Thursday-evening, and participated from the Friday morning. On the Friday there was a relatively short drive to the Europapark amusement park in Germany, just over the border (on the other side of the river Rhine). At the Europapark, one of the best amusement parks in Europa, the focus was on the new "Voltron Nevera powered by Rimac" rollercoaster ride, with first a long talk about the Europapark and how it was started by the Mack family. No details on how the Voltron Nevera ride was designed and built, they did show a video of being in it. After that and lunch, there were several hours to roam free around the park, and of course enter the Voltron Nevera rollercoaster, which I must say is quite impressive. The whole has a Tesla theme (Nikola Tesla that is, not the modern electric automobiles), and especially the indoor waiting space, has an impressive display with live Tesla coils playing music (movie on the right, put on the sound!).
The Saturday was one of a long, mountaineous drive in the morning and an interesting lunch outside. The public presentation was again on the Sunday, after the ceremony at the cemetery. All the photographs are a bit much, thus I organised all info on this page in the different events within the Festival. You can use the following navigation list to go to a specific event, or just browse through this page.
