Das Edelwiess

I'm fine with that, the park has always had pretty good soft serve imo.

Have you tried the stuff they've been selling at the renovated window in Banbury? Honestly the worst soft serve I've ever been served anywhere.

I used to love getting a nice waffle cone of soft serve at the park—Roman Frieze was a go-to for me for ages—but I legit threw out the ice cream from the place in Banbury last year. Awful. Who even knew that was possible for vanilla soft serve.

I thought this location used to sell funnel cakes previously but for the last couple of seasons sold fried chicken tenders. Am I misremembering or mixing locations?

They have sold chicken tenders during certain points in recent years. But it still was primarily used for funnel cakes. It's also been used as a food sample location for the Mardi Gras event too.

When you've been out to sea on a ship for a few months and the good, hard ice cream the cooks stocked up on is gone in the first month and you haven't had any for weeks if not over a month, when the cooks make soft serve even from a powder mix you'll never complain about soft serve ever again when it's ready and you can have it!

I just wish they'd go back to making fresh waffle cones again. One of my favorite memories of that area was watching the glockenspiel with the scent of fresh waffle cones in the air. The whole area had that smell.

Or at least waffle bowls so no melting issues....

It has solld both. It just goes back and forth with both

They still make waffles cones in France. We saw them last summer making some.

Das Edelwiess looks like construction is nearly complete

She’s open!

Yet another great looking interior renovation!

Looks great, but this begs the question. If they can put the old stain glass design around the registers why can’t they replace that one window in the upgrade center building that’s had a cardboard cut out in its place for a few years now.

Ha! Yes! I had the same question when I saw the stained glass in there. I assume it's easier/cheaper to source interior, decorative stained glass windows than it is to source exterior-rated ones? There's an increasing number of broken stained glass windows around the park right now—know of at least a couple in Banbury, think there's a new one in Rhinefeld, and then the Upgrade Center like you highlighted—at some point soon the park needs to bite the bullet and bring in someone to replace all the broken windows properly.

New sign

Fresh funnel cakes?

 

[Mwe BGW]

They pour the dough and deep fry it. I doubt they make the dough though.

That is okay. Weren't there places in the park that were basically just re-frying a ready made one at some point?

That was a few years after covid. I think they corrected that a few years back.

Absolutely agree here. Nothing wrong with the options they have per se, but keep a "standard" plain powdered sugar menu option too.
