The story of Wilde Maus XXL
From Hamburg comes the showman’s tradition behind Wilde Maus XXL. Max Eberhard & Sohn is recorded as a German travelling fairground operator, and this Mack-built mouse is its best-known roller coaster, carried from fair to fair rather than planted in one permanent midway. coasterpedia.net· coasterpedia.net
The transformation into Wilde Maus XXL was the important act. Sources describe an existing Mack Wilde Maus being rebuilt and extended for its larger travelling form, with the enlarged version premiering in 2012 at Hamburg Sommerdom. coasterpedia.net· ride-index.de
London then gave the travelling machine a winter address. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland lists Wilde Maus XXL among its coasters, placed in the Bavarian Village, where visitors meet German fair engineering in the heart of the park’s seasonal avenues. hydeparkwinterwonderland.com· en.wikipedia.org
Its reputation rests on scale as much as speed. Hyde Park Winter Wonderland references name it the world’s largest portable Wild Mouse coaster, a tidy civic boast for a ride that still folds its steel road back onto transport and sets off for the next fair. en.wikipedia.org
