Bavaria (aka Apline Village)

MISSING PHOTO
Name	Bavaria (aka Apline Village)
Theme	INFO NEEDED
First Year	1976
About the Area Info Box

Bavaria opened as Alpine Village in 1976. It is a German-themed area just to the west of Main Street. The Bavaria name appeared on the Wikipedia page in 2006, so it may not be an official name for the area. When the maps listed it as Alpine Village, there was a mountain themed ride there (where the Giant Sky Wheel currently sits). That would make the Apline name make sense (Apline means mountains). There is also Alpine Games (which today leads in to the Main Street Arcade) and Alpine Foods. Besides those two signs, though, Bavaria would make more sense due to the German Bier Garten and Rathskellar. There is nothing "Alpine" about the area any longer except the arcade and food stand signs.
