Flotte Biene was a steel roller coaster formerly located at Trampolino Familien- und Freizeitpark in Andernach, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.[1][2]
History
The coaster opened on 13 May 2008.[1]
On 17 August 2009, the park published a article to it's website, stating that the ride had been successful, and that it would receve larger cars, and a "faster and longer ride" for the next season.[3]
Flotte Biene closed for refurbishment on 30 September 2009.[3]
By 2010, all articles related to the coaster were removed from the park's website, and by 2011, the ride had been dismantled.[4][5]
