This is a very old, but nonetheless great attraction. It has been around sine 1910. Everyone pays a few Euro to get in (€4, I think), getting to be on the wheel is voluntary. You can stay as long as you like and watch. The comments the speaker offers are witty and in the bavarian dialect (for example, when only two girls were left, he said "this reminds me of Beauty and the Beast, but you have to decide for yourself who is which"). There are some newspaper articles on this admittedly archaic ride, which still is so popular. Oh, the dresses the girls wear are called "Dirndl", if you want to research them. I am happy to live in Munich, I can enjoy the Oktoberfest every year.
