Video: Carnival Rides at Oktoberfest's Funfair

If you wander just outside of the massive beer tents during Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany, you'll find the funfair. What's cool about the funfair is all the crazy-looking carnival rides they have. In the United States, carnival rides are usually rusty death traps operated by drunk amputees, but the rides in the video above look absolutely amazing. Not only do they look safe, but I've never seen many of them before -- they even have full size roller coasters. At a carnival! The coolest ride is at 01:26 (remaining) -- the giant flipping, spinning, flower-like thing that dangles riders and shakes them about.

Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany runs from September 22, until October 7.

Does anyone know who owns the "Double Wild Mouise" at the Oktoterfest?
