(eap) After the Multiple Launched Family Coaster “FirleFranz” from Gerstlauer has been making its laps at Bayern-Park since last year (see EAP 4/2023), the family coaster has now been officially inaugurated.
FirleFranz, thematically inspired by park mascot Franz-Xaver, was complemented with theming elements over the winter. According to Franz-Xaver’s ideas, not everything here is straight and symmetrical, but rustic and playful with attention to detail. IMAScore and IMAMotion developed the soundtrack and the theming in collaboration with CAF and, together with StillinMotion, Franz-Xaver was also brought to life in 3D. Now, for example, the passage through the station also has several effects in store...
At the official inauguration and blessing ceremony of the attraction, the positive contribution of the park to the promotion of regional tourism and the creation of jobs was also emphasized by the political guests. District Administrator Werner Bumeder, for example, is delighted to have Bayern-Park as a “flagship and tourism magnet in the region.” ■
