500 YEARS GESMOLD FAIR
Gesmold celebrated 850
years Gesmold, and 500 years
of fair events
Text & Photos: Nils Benthien
This year, two milestone anniversaries have been
celebrated at Gesmold, a district of Melle – namely
the 850 th birthday of Gesmold, and the 500 th anniversary
of the local fair event.
For the anniversary fair (September 17 th to 20 th ) the
showmen had come up with a lot of ideas. On the initiative
of Stefan Rosenboom for example, a fairground
monument was built in the shape of an 80 x 80 cm
bronze panel featuring a stylised Ferris Wheel, on
which the names of the donors have been immortalised
on the 22 gondolas. The inauguration of the
monument was attended by a number of visitors. At his
own expense, Ferris Wheel owner Ludwig Landwermann
had huge anniversary banners made, displaying
greetings from the showmen. Due to the anniversary,
the 3-day event was extended by one day. ■

VOLKSFEST-PETITION
Text & Photo: Ralf Schmitt
Richard Simmons from Berlin has initiated an
online petition for saving the “German-American
V olksfest” in Berlin. Those interested
can still suppor t and sign this petition, and
can do so up until February 12 th 2011.
The initiative can be found by clicking on the
“Bundesland Berlin” link in the search index on
the website www.openpetition.de.
The Richard Simmons’ petition is addressed to
the House of Representatives in Berlin and says:
“The German-American Volksfest will have to
move to a new site in 2011, due to the event area
having been sold by the Federal Government,
and pending building operations. The organiser
is searching for an event area which meets all
the requirements of an event that attracts
500,000 visitors every year. For this reason, we
demand that the event be held on the area of the
old Tempelhof airport. This area is highly suitable
for the event due to its provision of sufficient
space, transport connections, and the historic
setting. Dear Members of the Berlin House of
Representatives, please act to save jobs, open
this area up for the citizens of Berlin, and support
its continued use by an established friendship
festival. Please save the German-American
Volksfest future!”

HALLOWEEN
KALEIDOSCOPE
BREAKDANCE
Text: Norman Vogt
Photo: Heiko Schimanzik
From the season 2011 onwards, Jennifer Zinnecker
fr om Neumarkt-St. V eit will present the “Halloween”
multi-level Walkthrough construction.
The construction, which was built in 1999 and last
toured through Holland, has its roots in Germany. It was
built by showman Adolf Steuer from Lemgo, who had
toured it for a number of years before selling it to the
Wingender firm from Mayen. From there it went to Jan
v. d. Molengraft from Deventer, Holland, who presented
it at almost all the prestigious events in the Netherlands.
The construction has now come back to Germany.
While he was consulting with a specialist in the
construction of fairground figures in Holland to order
new figures for his “Geister-Villa” Ghost Ride, Alwin
Zinnecker happened to mention that he was searching
for a compact Walkthrough construction for his
daughter, Jennifer. As it happened, the figure builder
knew that the “Halloween” owner Jan v. d. Molengraft
wanted to sell his attraction. Contact was made and,
after an inspection and negotiations, a deal was quickly
struck. On October 11 th , the Zinnecker family collected
the “Halloween”, taking it directly to the Hoefnagel
firm for overhauling the electronic system and
installing a LED lighting system. Currently, the interior
on the two storeys is being modernised before the construction
undergoes a TÜV inspection. With its beautiful
and effective façade artwork made by Elfering and
featuring well-known characters and images from horror
movies, the construction makes quite an impression.
Inside the construction, visitors encounter an exciting
course on two storeys including, among other effects,
14 moving figures.
A prominent eye catcher in front of the 18 metre long
“Halloween” construction will be a werewolf greeting
the visitors warmly and encouraging them to step in.
The construction has electrical requirements of 30 kW,
is 6 metres deep and 10 metres high.

“Wieder mal Kirmes”, or “It’s fair time

of the five tracks. The Hamburg Sommerdom turned

CARUSSELL CIRCUS

The “Carussell Circus” from Katy Bruch
now features a new, particularly striking
side tarpaulin made by Schlottmann.
Matching the theme of the kiddie attraction,
the tarpaulin was printed with magnificent circus
motifs and the well-known saying from the circus
scene “Every day you spend without a smile, is
a day lost” is not absent either.

Rudi Kaiser presented his ne wly purchased
kiddie ride “Aladin” at the autumn Dippemess
for the first time in his home to wn of Frankfurt
am Main.
The Rudi Kaiser family, which tours a pony ride,
had been searching for an original children’s
ride for some time. They had a carousel in mind
that had not previously appeared at any of their
venues. The family finally hit lucky in the Netherlands
where a showman offered, as a used construction,
an “Aladin”
ride from Technical Park,
which was virtually as
good as new in terms of
its overall condition. After
the initial inspection
of the very colourful ride,
a deal was quickly
struck, and the “Aladin”
was duly presented for
the first time under its
new management at
three Dutch events, to
which it had already
been contracted. The next stop was the
Dippemess in Germany, where the kiddie ride
was immediately well received and officially inaugurated
. The “Aladin” requires one transport
vehicle, and its total of 8 gondolas, which are designed
as small “flying carpets”, accommodate
4 children each. The ride has ground measurements
of 25 x 10 meters.

ENTERPRISE
HOT SHOT
Text & Photo: Helmut Bresler
The last venue in the 10 th
season of the "Hot
Shot" ejector seat will be
the Bremen Freimarkt, and
thereafter it will be prepared
for the new season.
Up until now, it is the only
Ejector Seat travelling
through Germany, and according
to Josef Dölle,
who operates the construction
together with his
wife Beatrice and his son
Josef. The showman from
Franconia has equipped
his attraction with powersaving
LED lights. Moreover,
he has installed a
large outside screen,
where spectators can follow
the launch and watch
the reactions of the two
passengers being
launched 50 metres into
the skies and experiencing
a guaranteed looping
on the downward descent
at close quarters. All those
interested can take away a
DVD to flaunt their bravado
at home.

Since the beginning of this season, the “Enterprise”
fr om Rudie Geelen fr om Heng elo
has been the second e xample of the Huss
classic touring through the Netherlands.
Geelen and his son discovered and bought the
ride in Scotland in 2005. When the new owners
from Holland collected the ride, they discovered
countless indications as to the countries where
this “Enterprise” had appeared in the past, including
the Arab Sultanate of Oman no less! According
to the Dutch showmen, the ride also had
previous owners from Germany, namely Barth-
Krause, and later on the Hardt firm. Geelen and
his son allowed themselves plenty of time for the
renovation of the ride. The centrepiece was dismantled
and, one by one, almost all the ride’s
components were renewed or renovated.
The aluminium platform is
completely new and with the former
backflash from the “Maximum
Speed” Orbiter which required only
minor changes and adjustments after
the purchase, the ride has an attractive
rear side. After the renovation
and five years after the purchase, the
Geelen family were finally able to celebrate
the première of their “Enterprise”
at the fair in the Dutch town of
Dieren this year.

Acceleration and
speed: the KMG novelty
“XLR8”
The compact KMG ride
novelty of the season
2010 (see KPR October
issue) has a name now.
The attraction is called
“XLR8” – the name standing
in short form for “accelerate”.
According to
KMG, they have developed
a fully-fledged major
ride at a “low budget” price with this ride,
after having mainly concentrated on the development
and production of swing rides for
many years. The most spectacular features
of this ride is said to be its speed and acceleration.
Its eight, 2-seat suspended gondolas
(total capacity: 16 passengers), each
affixed to the arms linked to the centrepiece,
rotate at a speed of up to 65 km/h. The ride
will begin with a catapult-like launch, with the
deceleration being just as rapid. During the
ride, both speed and acceleration can be
continually changed by the operator. KMG
offers the basis version at a low price, while
at the same time additional equipment is
available at additional cost.
During the first presentation of the “XLR8” at
the EAS Fair in Rome in early October, the
“low budget major ride” attracted wide interest
among trade visitors.

Autumn Fair Basle
The Basle Autumn Fair is the oldest and largest
fair in Switzerland and was authorised “to the
end of time” by Emperor Friedrich III in the 15 th
century. It is more than a common “Kilbi” and
numbers among the fairs that boast the highest
turnover in Switzerland, and is certainly the most
attractive event of its kind in Europe. Almost five
hundred sales and handicraft stalls, snack and
beverage booths, as well as ride and funhouse
attractions of all kinds offering something for
everybody, will spread over seven fairgrounds
and the exhibition hall 3. Due to the special charm
and flair of its varied kinds of fairgrounds,
the Basle Autumn Fair is highly popular with the
Basle citizens. Every single fairground has its
own concept and enjoys masses of visitors, especially
at the weekends. For the second time,
the authorities of the Canton of Basle have been
responsible for the organisation of the event. For
the 540 th anniversary, Sabine Horvath and Daniel
Arni from “fairs and market” at the foreign relations
and marketing department were able to put
together a varied and appealing selection of fairground
attractions, including several novelties
for Basle. During preparations for the anniversary
fair, the organisers attached much importance
to preserving and carefully furthering development
of the event’s tradition. Nevertheless,
they had to keep up with the times and also present
modern attractions in addition to the established
tradition at the Basle Autumn Fair. The
fairground at the military barracks in particular
has for some time now truly lived up to these expectations,
but there will also be novelties on the
other fairgrounds.
Once the President of the Basle authorities, Dr.
Guy Morin has attuned guests from near and far
to the pending event, with the short speech he
gives on the Martinskirchplatz at 11:45 a.m. on
October 23 rd , followed by the fair’s bell ringer
Franz Baur, sounding the bell from the tower of
the Martinskirche punctually at 12 o’clock for the
traditional opening of the 540 th Basle Autumn
Fair, the rides will finally make their – initially free

the Petersplatz will offer a very special
flair. Families in particular will be attracted to this
fairground by many sales stalls, culinary delicacies,
eight kiddie carousels and a Punch and
Judy show. Moreover, the idyllic fairground also
accommodates the so-called "Hääfelimäärt".
The market, enticing the visitors to linger and
search, will be extended by two days and thus
be open up until Tuesday evening (November
9 th ). From the park-like site it is only a short walk
to the Münsterplatz, the traditional origin of the
Basle Autumn Fair. In addition to the “Expo” Ferris
Wheel (Hablützel & Bruch AG) offering a magnificent
view across the city and the three-border
triangle, this area will entice the public with
Walser’s dodgem track, the slide from Zanolla,
Odermatt’s Geisterburg, the “Calypso” from
Läuppi, as well as three kiddie carousels this
year. After a short walk from the Münsterplatz,
visitors will reach the Barfüsserplatz in the city
centre – known as “Seibi” or “Barfi” to the citizens
– where young and old fair enthusiasts will
encounter the “Breakdance” (Becker), making
its second appearance (in 2008 placed at the
military barracks) at this renowned event, as well
as the “X-Factory” Miami (Büttiker-Mathys) and
three kiddie attractions this year. The Kasernenplatz,
used as a fairground only since 1995, will

The Soest Allerheilig enkirmes,
the largest medieval city fair in
Europe, is al ways celebrated
from the W ednesday after All
Saints' Day until the f ollowing
Sunday – this y ear fr om November
3 rd to 7 th . The fair n umbers
among the most beautiful
and festive Volksfest events in
Germany and its unique atmosphere
enthrals some one million
visitors every year.
The city centre fair, which is
unique in its kind, spreads over a
total area of 50,000 m 2 throughout
the historic medieval city centre.
The modern ride and funhouse
attractions form a striking contrast
to the time-honoured medieval
settings of the Soest city
centre with its churches, the city
wall, the romantic timber-framed
houses, and narrow alleys. The
673 rd Allerheiligenkirmes will be a
mixture of well-known and traditional
attractions including four
novelties, providing variety to
Soest. This year, changed thoroughfares
are to optimize the
event. The circuit course will begin
in the entrance area to the city
centre with an attractive ride trio
welcoming the visitors, namely
the “Breakdance” from Bonner
and Howey’s “Happy Sailor”,
completed by the first debutante,
Deinert’s “Sky Trip”. Michael
Zehle’s “Hex´n-Wippn”, having
last appeared at the Allerheiligenkirmes
in 1999, will be built up
this year in front of the Bunker,
next to the “Highway Rallye”. As
is the case with several other participants,
it will be coming to
Soest directly from the Bremen
Freimarkt. On the former go-kart
track site located slightly off the
circuit course, a new gastronomic
operation will provide visitors
with food and drink. Placed further
along the course will be the
“Drop Attack” Freefall Tower (Petter)
and the “Highway No.1” from Johann Schneider. However, the antique
horse carousel (Brinksma), the “Star-Flyer” from Goetzke and
Scheidacher’s “Super Hupfel” will occupy their traditional sites. Visitors
will now pass the Hupferl and a number of concession stalls, before
they reach the rear section of the market square. As was the case two
years ago, Wingender’s “Air Crash” Propeller will be built up in the southern
section of the market square. In the front section of this area, visitors
will be able to enjoy the “Nessy” (Markmann), the Musik Express
from Krause, and Oberschelp’s “High Impress”, while the two sites next
to the St. Petri Church will be occupied by the “Wilde Maus” (Münch)
and Gusowski’s “Phoenix”. After a long break, the “Circus Circus”
(Bruch/Gründler) will once again appear south of the St. Petri Church,
and the “Intoxx” (Gusowski/Langenberg) – the second debutante – will
await visitors in front of the St. Patrokli Church. Moreover, the “Revue

which made its last appearance
in Soest twelve years ago, will be
presented once again. The
“Wellenflieger” from Wendler will
be built up on its traditional site at
the entrance to the Rathausplatz,
where it will make a magnificent
visual impression, and the sites at
the Große Teich will be occupied
by the dodgem track (Isken), the
“Piratenfluss” water ride (Heitmann/Schneider),
and the Ferris
Wheel from Willenborg. With Kinzler’s
“Omni”, another Soest
debutante will be built up further
along the course along with
Krameyer’s “Big Monster”, as was
the case in previous years. Yet another
novelty for Soest will be the
“Burg des Grauens” Ghost Ride
from Burghard, which will provide
creepy fun. The “Big Wave” (Milz)
and the “Krinoline” (Roie) will
round off the variety of large ride
and funhouse constructions at
the Soest Allerheiligenkirmes

PREMIÉRE
This year’s second
novelty from Mondial:
the “Infinity”
A second Mondial no velty
has celebrated its première
this year (following the “Power
Maxx” Giant Swing) at the
Foire aux Manég es in Lille ,
France: “Infinity”. In principle,
it’ s a fur ther de velopment
of the “Capriolo” ride
from the same manufacturer.
However, the “Infinity” offers
a third type of movement as a
highlight: its gondolas can
now rotate sideward.

Wouter Koning
Both Mondial novelties
of this season appear
consecutively in Lille
Infinity
Alain Delaport, a loyal Mondial customer of
many years (among others “Space Roller”
and “Oxygen”) is the owner of the first “Infinity”
example – and was very satisfied with the reception
received by his novelty in Lille. The rotation
of the gondolas during the ride offer – in
comparison to the “Capriolo” – a completely new
adrenalin kick, as the gondolas in this case also
somersault to the side. Additionally, the ride accommodates
10 people due to the passenger
carrier being built to a larger size. According to
the manufacturer, the “Infinity” has a height of
roughly 50 m, ground measurements of 16.5 m
x 9.5 m and electrical requirements of 65 kW, and
requires 2 transport vehicles. This year, yet another
example will go into operation – also in
France. The owner will be “Capriolo” pioneer, the
showman family Bazin, which will present its novelty
under the name of “Maxximum Energy”. ■

ARCADE GAMES
PINBALL GAME

The “Royal Banker” was
rebuilt as a pinball game
Carsten and Nicole Ritzenhofen
CFor years, Carsten and
Nicole Ritzenhofen
from Gelsenkirchen have
successfully presented
their “Royal Banker” (Mondräumer)
at the fairgrounds
in North-Rhine Westphalia.
However, the popular
arcade machine unfortunately
developed a technical
fault. According to the
owners, the electrician in charge of inspection
and maintenance had made a serious mistake,
rendering the arcade machine inoperable. Action
was called for! Luckily, Carsten Ritzenhofen
remembered a sales ad for a pinball game. The
deal was quickly made, and since Pentecost,
the Ritzenhofens have been presenting a truly
unique attraction. The underlying idea of
the game is based on the popular pinball
machine, although the balls are manually
rolled onto the playing field, rather than
by a mechanical ball launcher. Once the
balls have been thrown into the field they
tumble their way through one of five
point-scoring fields. Every ball scores a
maximum of 6 points, and every game is
a 10-ball game that can be played without
time limit. There are no losers. For up
to 41 points, players win a small prize,
from 42 to 60 points players have free
choice. This game can be played continuously,
and there is no minimum number of players, as
is the case with a Derby. The game, which was
built by Franz Bergmann, was sold by the Braun
firm. The unusual game was very well received
by the public at the Fronleichnamskirmes in
Oberhausen-Sterkrade.

New arcade machine:
“Point”
POINT
Text & Photo:
Ton Koppei
Gaming machines in a modern design with automatically
dispensed prizes are very fashionable
at Volksfest events these days. After the
success of both the “Stacker” machine and the
“Barber Cut” silhouette machine, a new arcade machine
was introduced in the Netherlands. Instead
of soft toys or similar, great store is set on high quality
prizes, such as MP3-players, cameras, or mobile
phones, which are displayed at eye level. In the
new “Point” game, a push rod has to be manoeuvred
exactly in front of the desired item, which is then
simply pushed into the dispensing slot. Most operators
place the arcade machines in compact containers
equipped with an automatic money changing
function, thereby not requiring any staff. Although
these operations are convenient and considerably
reduce operating costs, they are
nonetheless criticized by showmen and fairground
directors alike, given that they lack the announcements
over the microphone and the personal customer
'touch' that typify Volksfest events. ■

The “Geister Villa” from
Alwin and Monika Zinnecker
In 1998, this tw o-storey Ghost
Ride was b uilt b y the Italian
Barbisan firm as “Schloss
Dracula” for the Sonnier showman
operation fr om the Saarland.
Four years ago, the construction
was taken o ver b y
Monika and Al win Zinnec ker
from Neumarkt St. V eit and
completely restored and redesigned
into the “Geister Villa”
during the winter of
2006/2007. Due to the compact
dimensions of the construction
– packing the attraction requires
only a single articulated
lorry – the Ghost Ride can be
completely built up by two wellcoordinated
men in just under
six hours. The Kirmes & P ark
Revue observed and documented
the b uild up of this

NOSTALGIA
The Mainka Caterpillar
Ride at the Pfingstmarkt in

During its appearance at the
Hückelhoven Pfingstmarkt,
the Caterpillar Ride fr om the
Heinsberg Mainka famil y – a
roughly 80-y ear old fairground
veteran – made its
rounds reliab ly and e ven

this c lassic e xample within

Silvia and Manfred Mainka
The ride has been under the continuous
ownership of the Mainka family for forty years.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the Caterpillar
Ride, which was built in France in 1930, is not
known. The ride was purchased from showman
Leo Kloth in 1970. Whereas with the majority of
Caterpillar Rides only the train and the outer circuit
are covered by a tarpaulin, this ride’s most
striking features are the closed roof and the high
roof timbering. These few features alone make
this Caterpillar Ride a unique ride. The attraction
boasts a diameter of 17 metres, and is a maxi-

NOSTALGIA
Many original
and unconventional details
of Mainka’s Caterpillar Ride
mum of 21 metres in width together with the paybox
at its widest point. The roof structure is carried
by 18 pillars and the caterpillar train is made
up of 20 chaises. As another special feature, the
gondolas require no dismantling for packing.
Each chaise is loaded in the baggage van together
with one axle, saving a lot of build up and
dismantling time. After a special inspection in
2001, the chaises were equipped with additional
safety belts, compulsory for the popular
reversing.
The ride is powered by a 12 kW three-phase motor,
and operating the Caterpillar Ride – including
its extensive lighting system – requires 60 kW
of high-voltage power. Over the years, the owners
invested a lot of time and money in the maintenance
of the nostalgic attraction. In the mid-
1980s, the oil paintings on the train and other

The vehicle fleet includes
a baggage van with cabin
Under family-ownership:
a Deutz F2M 417 built in 1950
Hanomag-Henschel F 131
and the self-made chaise wagon
with trolley
outside coverings were newly repainted,
and the complete inside area was
equipped with additional lighting
elements.
Disco balls and chains of light give the
ride a quite unconventional flair. Another
prominent eye catcher is the mirrored
paybox wagon, which brings back
memories of the good old days. The visual
appearance of the vehicle fleet also
matches the nostalgic attraction. While
the chaise wagon with cabin was built
by the family itself and equipped with a
trolley for loading the Caterpillar train,
the second baggage van comes from
ride manufacturer Ackermann. The
traction units are also notable rarities; a
Hanomag-Henschel built in 1968 and a MAN
15214 built in 1983, which still reliably tow the
transport vehicles to this very day. The vehicle
fleet of the Mainka family is supplemented by a
water-cooled 35 PS Deutz tractor F2M417, built
in 1950. Manfred Mainka and his wife Silvia present
their Caterpillar Ride mainly at small and
medium-sized fairgrounds in the Heinsberg region,
where the old but very well cared for ride has
to cope with strong competition from modern
high-tech attractions. For this reason, it is truly
admirable that the family continues the tradition
and keeps enthralling the public with its original
fairground veteran to this day. At any rate, the attraction
was heavily crowded at the Pfingstmarkt
in Hückelhoven. These days, as in the past, the
closing of the caterpillar “curtain” gives rise to
butterflies in the stomach. After all, it is a wellknown
fact that most of the older fairground visitors
enjoyed their first kiss in a Caterpillar Ride
on the fairgrounds.

A LOOK BACK
Impressions of the
largest fair on the Rhine 2010
in Düsseldorf
Text: Michael Petersen
Photos: Michael Petersen, Ralf Schmitt
Even in 2010, the Rheinwiesen – the largest fair on
the Rhine – has lost nothing of its e xcellent reputation
and enduring popularity, despite being faced
by strong competing events in the surrounding region,
such as the "Kölner Lichter” event held in the
neighbouring city of Cologne on the opening day,
which enticed about one million visitors.
Further competition arose from "Still-Leben”, held on
the A40 on the first opening Sunday, which attracted
three million people, and by the "Love Parade" (which
as it is well known, came to a tragic end), held in the
neighbouring city of Duisburg on the second Saturday.
Moreover, there was continuous rain on Wednesday
and on the closing day in Düsseldorf. Nevertheless, results
at the largest fair on the Rhine were good or very
good for almost all participating showmen, with only
the occasional exception. The advertising campaign
and the media coverage relating to the event started
unusually early (by Düsseldorf standards). Every day,
the media published new details about the fair, with the
many changes replacing the ubiquitous topic of football.
The Düsseldorf Fair frequently even hit the headlines
of the local press. After all, there was much to be
reported about the new Ferris Wheel, the new gastronomic
operation "Alpenwelt”, and the altered thoroughfares
on the fairground. The opening was once
again held in front of the large Schützenfest tent, with
the Lord Mayor, Dirk Elbers, together with the Schützen
Chairman Lothar Inden cutting the red and white ribbon,
a cannon salute being fired and hundreds of balloons
being released into the air. The procession into
the magnificently decorated festival tent was accompanied
by lively music, and the Schützen and traditional
flags of the Showman Associations proceeding
into the festival tent made a beautiful image. Although
the opening speech by the good-humoured Schützen
Chairman Lothar Inden was very impressive, reciting
the names of and greeting all the guests who rendered

■
outstanding services to the Schützenfest and the fair
required much patience from the guests. The Lord
Mayor certainly found the most flamboyant words in
praise of the Schützenverein, and the showmen in particular.
In his short address, Elbers once again
promised his unreserved support for what is certainly
the best promotional vehicle for the state capital.
In the afternoon, the crowd on the fairground increased
due to the first rush of visitors. Apparently, most of the
visitors had but one destination, namely the "Alpenwelt”
from the Renoldi family, successor to the "Französisches
Dorf”, or "French Village”. As a result, the attraction
was constantly in heavy demand and there
were only a handful of seats available. The "Wildstuben”,
well-known from the Munich Oktoberfest, had
been brought to the Rhine and was built up with many
terraces and wooden booths. The "Alpenwelt” could
be accessed through two elaborately decorated entrance
gates. All in all, it was a harmonious gastronomic
concept, offering an ample and varied selection
of culinary delicacies and artisans presenting and selling
their products, accompanied by rustic Alpine fun
and a lot of music and including, among other guests,
Patrik Lindner and Jürgen Drews. Even Düsseldorf
VIPs could be encountered in the "Alpenwelt”, where
Düsseldorf top chefs prepared culinary specialities.
The desire of many Düsseldorf residents for a special
gastronomic attraction like this had to be seriously taken
into account.
The Renoldi family left a very convincing impression,
with its gastronomic concept tailor-made for the Düsseldorf
public. In addition to the new gastronomic attraction
in the heart of the Rheinwiesen, the fairground
offered many further new features. Thomas König, the
head of the fairground committee had once again taken
a risk and engaged a novelty ride to celebrate its
première at the Rheinwiesen. Although this was quite
daring, considering the not altogether positive experiences
of the last few years, his effort paid off. Michael
Goetzke’s "Rocket” successfully celebrated its world
première at the Rheinwiesen, already turning its first
passengers upside down at a breathtaking height
shortly after the official opening. Further novelties for
Düsseldorf were the highly popular giant Propeller
"Booster Maxxx”, the "Höllentaxi”, as well as the "Expo-
Star” Ferris Wheel. The latter celebrated a successful
and convincing première in Düsseldorf, even though
many visitors confessed that they missed the familiar
"Bellevue” Ferris Wheel.
The show and funhouse sector was prominently represented
in Düsseldorf with almost all its attractions deployed
on the Radschlägerstraße on the dike side, as
due to the lack of depth most of the operations of this
type had to be placed in this area. Moreover, funhouses
are as a rule considerably less noisy than ride
attractions. This way the organisers accommodate the
"pleasant” residents in Oberkassel in easing the difficult
noise situation. On a more positive note, it has to
be said that the residents were quite 'easy-going' this
year, and welcomed the strong police presence and
praised the fair for the reduced noise level. There were
further major changes concerning the layout of the
thoroughfares and the placement of a number of regular
attractions. As a result, the unpopular 'crossroad'
was replaced by two prominently occupied bays this
year, giving the fairground a completely new and interesting
appearance. The "Big Monster” and "Wilde
Maus” built up on the dike side, "Devil Rock” and "Power
Tower" on the Rhine side formed a harmonious overall
image. Due to the new layout in this section, one of
the dodgem tracks was also relocated. While the Eylart
firm was rejected this year, the Wimmert firm was
approved to the event. This resulted in a double première,
namely a new dodgem track on a new site,
placed to the side of the "Höllenblitz”. The "Diamond”
dodgem track also lost its traditional site and was
moved to the opposite side in a cross row. While one
could easily ask the question if this was really necessary,
it did not seem to do any actual harm. Thomas
Weber was also highly satisfied with the Rheinwiesen.
After it had been allocated an unfavourable site last
year, the "Flash” was entirely convincing this time; its
site next to the "Schwarzwald-Christel” was a real hit.
All the towering rides had been built up some distance
44

away from each other so that every single one of
them could present its striking appearance to its
very best. The new arrangement of the thoroughfares
was also very successful. In order to
further develop the fair, the realisation of new
ideas will be continued next year. Moreover, the
organiser's rational appeal to all beer tent operators
prior to the event is absolutely necessary,
as it is the only way to permanently reduce the
noise level. However, it is still unacceptable that
the noise level has to be reduced in the late
evening hours only at the ride attractions, while
heavy bass beats continue to boom inside the
beer tent.

From July 30 th to August 8 th , the Annakirmes 2010
once again attracted some one million visitors from
near and far to the town on the northern border of
the Eifel.
The fair numbers among the large Volksfest events in
Germany, and on the some 50,000 m 2 area, fairground
visitors can enjoy more than 150 showman attractions
from all over Germany every year. Fairground director
Achim Greif, from the city’s organising team was once
again able to put together a large and appealing fair
this year from almost 1,000 applications. The dodgem
track "Sound Center”, a nostalgic Galloper, and the
"Aqua-Labyrinth” labyrinth (Markmann) were built up
at the entrance area of the fairground. Further along
the fairground course the "Playball” (Clauß), another
dodgem track, Distel’s "Lach+Freu-Haus”, and Goetzke’s
"Star-Flyer” were presented. At the forking of the
course, visitors encountered Schneider’s towering
"Power Tower 2”, and to its right the "Octopussy” (Markmann)
making its rounds. The "Teststrecke” coaster,
which had been relocated from Tilburg in Holland to
the Rur River in record time, was placed on the topend
site as the principal attraction. In the inner circle
of the fairground, a classic ride celebrated its well-attended
première: The reconstructed "Fahrt ins
Paradies” (Schleifer) was festively inaugurated and
very well accepted by the public. However, this showpiece
deserved a better site. Additionally,
visitors were able to enjoy the "Devil Rock”
(Hanstein), the nostalgic Ghost Ride from
Eckl, the large "Breakdance” (Kinzler), the
go-kart track "Rallye Monte Carlo” (Fackler),
the "Action House” (Kipp), the "Wellenflug”
(Barth-Eberhard), and the water ride
"Piraten-Fluss” (Schneider-Heitmann).
From the coaster to the forking of the
course, the "Frisbee" (Goetzke), "Psychodelic"
(Häsler), the Musik Express "Beach Party"
(Milz-van den Bosch), "Flip Fly” (Clauß), the "Europa”-
wheel (Kipp), and the "große Geisterbahn” (Schütze)
were deployed like pearls on a string. This was truly a
remarkable array of first-class fairground attractions.
The Annakirmes captivated its visitors with a varied
gastronomic sector boasting beer and recreational
gardens, as well as coffee houses inviting guests to
linger and enjoy. Attractive concession stalls from various
sectors also reflected the Annakirmes first-class
quality. The organiser’s special actions and offers were
just as ample and varied as the selection of fairground
attractions. The Cherry Stone Spitting World Championship
was yet another legend at the event, which was
held on the opening day. The record to be broken next
year is 18.07 metres. Most of these events were held
in the Anna tent, including the "Miss Annakirmes Contest”
on Monday and the "Seniors' Day" on Tuesday
and Wednesday. On Wednesday, there was also the
popular "Rhine Night” with numerous carnival artists.
The Family Day on Tuesday, when large price reductions
enticed thousands of visitors to the fairground,
truly lived up to its name. While the brilliant fireworks
display on Friday marked the end of the special events,
the fair lasted another two days. During the almost ideal
fairground weather, a total of about one million visitors
rushed to the fairground.
Summary: The Annakirmes 2010 was once again a
great and peaceful Volksfest event. After the previous
'low-turnover' weeks suffered by the industry, it was
more than worthwhile coming to Düren for the participating
showmen.

SHORT NEWS
A brief summary of further
facts about the
largest fair on the
Rhine 2010 in Düsseldorf:
Some 4.3 million
visitors celebrated a
peaceful Rheinwiesen.
The police
also registered a quiet
fair with only 16
charges being made
due to theft and 14
due to personal injury
offences; an extremely
positive result considering
the attendance
figure of 4.3
million visitors.
However, 1,700 parking
tickets were issued
and 372 illegally
parked vehicles had
to be towed away, and
even certificates of
disability were forged
– an offence with farreaching
consequences.
Well, one
lives and learns!
Some three million visitors
arrived by public
transport this time. Friday
was entirely dedicated
to the mega fireworks
display "Düsseldorfer-Lichter”
on the
Rhine, which attracted
more than one million
visitors.
A unique feature in
Düsseldorf: In the
"Frankenheim tent” a
"peeing flat rate” could
be bought for 5 Euros!

A LOOK BACK
TILBURG (NL)
Visitor attendance at this
year's Tilb urg Kirmes (J uly
16 th to 25 th ) was reported to be
“well in excess of one million
visitors”. Although this was
an increase on last year's attendance,
this n umber was
not reflected in turno ver, as
visitors were decidedly choosy
when it came to spending
money. With some 300,000 visitors,
“Roz e Manda g”, or
“Pink Monda y” was once
again the da y with the highest
visitor attendance , and
the Looping Coaster “T eststrecke”
was this y ear’s top
attraction. Many a visitor was
pleasantly surprised b y the
reduced noise level at the Tilburg
Fair.

CRANGE
Everybody was looking
forward to the Crange Fair 2010
Guests of honour and
celebrities at Crange: Prime
Minister Hannelore Kraft, fairground
director Sabine Marek
with DJ Ötzi and Rudi Assauer
and two fans (f.l.t.r.)
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
This year, there were as many as three good reasons
to celebrate, namely: the anniversary 575 th
Crange F air, the Eur opean Capital of Culture
2010 in the Ruhr region, and the Local-Her oes
Week in Herne . More than 3.8 million visitor s –
that is some 300,000 visitor s less than the y ear
before according to the organisers – rushed to
the 10-da y e vent on the banks of the Rhein-
Herne-Kanal.
The decrease in visitor numbers may well have been
due to persistent rain on Sundays. While a surprisingly
high number of visitors came to the fairground
on the first Sunday despite showery weather, business
on the closing day was quite disappointing
due to heavy and continuous downpours. The
Crange Fair had hit the national headlines even before
its official opening, when the jib of a showman's
crane collided with the “Crange Tor” and badly damaged
this landmark of the Crange Fair. Although this
resulted in the gate being completely dismantled
and replaced by a makeshift banner, the Crange
Fair nonetheless enjoyed a dream start. In ideal fairground
weather a short procession proceeded from
the gate’s site to the Bayernfesthalle on Friday. This
was headed by the Herne Mayor Horst Schiereck
and Hannelore Kraft, the Prime Minister of North-
Rhine Westphalia, both joyfully proceeding to the
opening of the anniversary fair event. The traditional
flags of the showman associations and the miners’
marching band adorned this small but splendid
opening procession. The Prime Minister had even
interrupted her holidays in order to keep the promise
she had made in spring: “If I am elected as Prime
Minister, I will come to Crange”. In her opening
speech, she praised the Crange Fair as a “cultural
asset in the Ruhr region” and a “fair with a heart”.
Moreover, the “Herzlmacher”, or maker of the traditional
gingerbread hearts, Karl Heinz Hollman, was
awarded the “Crange Showman Award”, which was
bestowed on him during the opening ceremony. It
was again highly impressive to see how much the
population looks forward to their Crange Fair and in-
48

dentifies so strongly with it. Many a balcony and window
were decorated with fairground flags and stickers
and the good old Wanne-Eickel flag were also
frequently spotted, after all, the unsolicited and unpopular
merger is still hurting. In the Bayernfestzelt
some 3,500 guests celebrated an opening Crange
had not seen for years and well worthy of the anniversary.
The programme was expertly presented
by the Wanne entertainer Peter Grimberg and the
‘King of the Ruhr region’ convincingly miming a beat
boxer. However, when the star guest DJ Ötzi entered
the stage, singing for 45 minutes and taking encores,
the audience was up and dancing in a party
atmosphere never seen before. Even the guests of
honour, such as Hannelore Kraft, Horst Schiereck,
Franz Müntefering, and Rudi Assauer happily joined
in the singing. Contracting DJ Ötzi was a real hit.
The fairground: fairground director Sabine Marek
had again done a brilliant job in putting together a
perfectly laid out fairground with a manageable
number of novelties, and a number of relocations
provided a new fairground image. Coming directly
from its appearance in Düsseldorf, the “Expo-Star”
Ferris Wheel made a good impression in Herne, eliciting
awe-struck comments from visitors, such as
“Look, the Ferris Wheel has been newly painted!”
Not far from the Ferris Wheel, the multi-storey Ghost
Ride “Daemonium” made a first-time appearance at
the Crange Fair. The “Fight-Club” was very well presented
in Herne, its parades and performances
making a very convincing impression. The “Flash”
was daringly built up in the row opposite the “Alpina-
Bahn”, a new site for a major ride but immediately
very well accepted by the public. All in all, there was
a balanced mixture of attractions, apart from perhaps
the “XXL”, “Hip Hop Fly”, “Flash”, and the
“Fun-Schiff”, constituting too many swings even by
Crange standards. The many beer and event gardens,
which are highly popular
meeting and partying
points at the Crange Fair,
were more elaborately and
beautifully decorated than
ever. The Wanne-Eickel
residents love to celebrate
in their “private” beer gardens
along the Dorstener
Straße and the Hauptstraße.
Unlike the sunny
and happy start to the
Crange Fair, its closing was
dreary and wet with rain.
Nevertheless, most of the
participating showmen
were quite satisfied with
their results, although they
were once again annoyed
by the high number of fair
passes issued this year.
“They are a second fee,” several showmen complained.
There has already been sufficient controversial
discussion about the pros and cons of the
fairground passes. While some showmen say “The
fairground passes attract many visitors during the
weekdays”, others argue “The fairground passes attract
many visitors but no money”. The “Ruhr 2010”
boss, Fritz Pleitgen, who in addition to the Crange
fair itself also visited the historic fairground exhibition
at the Künstlerzeche, or artists' 'hang out', was
absolutely enthralled by the Crange Fair. He was so
overwhelmed by the fairground culture that he cancelled
all other appointments for this visiting day.
This year, as many as five different fireworks displays
were held. In addition to the traditional fireworks
displays on the opening and the closing days,
three additional themed displays were held on the
occasion of the Local-Heroes-Week. Although they
were readily accepted, there was no higher-than-average
attendance. Perhaps advertising for the additional
fireworks display should have been intensified.
The police and ambulance services gave a positive
review of the event. The police registered 453 incidents,
including 23 thefts and 95 personal injury offences,
with some 20 people arrested and 2 people
resisting arrest. The Red Cross were pressed into
service some 500 times, 343 of which were minor incidents.
The issue of “security at large events” was
omnipresent and handled with competence and
prudence, avoiding any ill-considered actions or responses.
After the tragedy of Duisburg, the Herne
security concept – implemented several decades
ago – has been carefully reviewed. This resulted in
a second row of caravans and baggage vans being
relocated in order to create an additional escape
route and security zone.

200 years Bad Kreuznach
Jahrmarkt anniversary
This year’s anniversary event “200 Years Bad
Kreuznach Jahrmarkt” was c losed with a
magnificent fireworks display on August 24 th .
The organiser registered some half a million
guests, who did not want to miss the largest
Volksfest e vent in the region between the
Nahe, Mosel, Rhine and Saar Rivers.
Enticed by the beautiful weather, the crowd on
the Luftkutscherplatz fairground at the railway
embankment quickly increased shortly after the
official opening on the first opening day. To mark
the occasion of the anniversary, the Kipp firm
had come up with a special idea for the countless
guests of honour and marching bands enjoying
the 'obligatory' opening ride on its “Europa-Rad”,
serving them champagne or orange
juice, as well as a snack during the ride (accompanied
by music). The many special events
organised by the city authorities as well as the
50

Bad Kreuznach Showman Association were perfectly
realized. In addition to a number of Kreuznach
souvenirs there was also an anniversary
book available this year.
Too bad that the sales stall selling the latter
closed early so that visitors interested in the book
were left in front of a locked booth. The top attraction
at the event, the "XXL" swing, was very
well received, just as were the Kreuznach novelties
“Future World” and “Event-Tower”. Unfortunately,
the designated “Tag der Betriebe”, or
“Companies Days” on fairground Monday, when
the staff from the various companies wore special
clothes for the traditional tour of the fairground,
was seriously affected by continuous rain.

VECHTA

Michael Petersen

Outside the city of Vechta there is a vast open
space surr ounded b y to wering trees and
fields, with only the occasional house and
farm, quiet and peaceful, an almost id yllic
world devoid of any hustle and bustle.
In the middle of nowhere however, there is the
“Vechta Stoppelmarkt” railway station, along
with a small official building called “Amtmannsbult”.
Normally, precious little ever happens out
there, yet once a year, in the middle of August,
this area changes into one of the largest rural
Volksfest events in North-West Germany, to
which some 1 million visitors rush to celebrate
the Stoppelmarkt non-stop from Thursday to
Tuesday night. About 20 large beer tents of different
sizes, beer gardens as far as the eye can
see and snack stalls around almost every corner
of the fairground, are waiting for the party
guests. At first glance one might think there was
an excess of gastronomic operations, particularly
of hot dog stalls. However, taking a closer
look in the evening hours comes the realisation
that fairground visitors at Vechta eat and drink
virtually "till they drop". In sharp contrast to other
Volksfest events, where "binge-drinking
venues" are banished from the fairgrounds, they
have been a successful fixture in Vechta for
decades. This year however, there were also critical
opinions from a number of showmen complaining
about an “excess” of
beer gardens and party and
beer tables also set out between
and behind the fairground
attractions. The organisers
in Vechta have to be careful
to maintain the current balance
of party goers and other
fairground visitors. The acceptable
number of beer tents,
beverage outlets and snack
booths may well have already
been reached in Vechta. More
of them would surely do more harm than good.
Once again, fairground director, Manfred Meyer,
succeeded in presenting the visitors with an attractive
fairground beyond reproach. Superb
rides and funhouse attractions, a Ferris Wheel,
a coaster and a Ghost Ride left nothing to be desired.
All the top-end and corner sites were perfectly
occupied, providing a harmonious fairground
image.
The spacious bric-a-brac market and the sophisticated
agricultural show are both indispensable
features of the Stoppelmarkt. Due to
ideal fairground weather, Vechta proved to have
been worthwhile for most of the showmen, who
reported good to very good financial results. ■

BAD MERGENTHEIM
Family coaster “Doggy
Dog” (Henn-Högerle) at the
Volksfest in Bad Mergentheim
Text & Photo: Norman Vogt
This year (July 30 th to August 2 nd ), the Volksfest
in Bad Mer gentheim, celebrated its 75 th
anniversary.
The 22,000-resident spa town of Bad Mergentheim,
situated on the north-east of Baden-Württemberg,
has celebrated the Volksfest with the
amusement park and beer tent for 75 years. Introduced
by Georg Wucherer in 1935, the Volksfest
has been organised by Erich Gührer since
the early 1970s. Due to the festival procession
from the market square to the fairground and the
subsequent tapping of the keg, visitor attendance
on Friday was much better than usual. According
to Gührer, special offers in the beer tent,
where a litre of beer or 'Spezi' cola and half a
chicken were served for an anniversary price of
3.90 Euros on the opening day; a factor that may
well have also played a role in the day's success.
To mark the 75 th anniversary, 75 litres of free beer
were served on Saturday. Business was weaker
than usual however on Sunday afternoon and –
at least at the beginning – rather slow on Monday.
This changed during the course of the day
though, as the anniversary fireworks display was
held in the evening. Two novelties appeared at
the event – the family coaster "Doggy Dog” from
Högerle, and the "Comic Trip” Miami from
Hirschberg. Further attractions were Zöllner’s
"Breakdance", Gugel’s "Space Party”, Distel’s
Ghost Ride "Horror World”, Spindler’s "Dance Express”,
Esser’s "Astroliner” as well as a dodgem
track and various kiddie rides.

Sobzyk’s “Breakdance” at
the Wiesloch Winzerfest
WIESLOCH
Text & Photo: Norman Vogt
For many people from Wiesloch and the surrounding
region, the Wiesloc h Winz erfest,
the large fair and wine f estival in Kraic hgau
(this time fr om
August 27 th to
September 5 th ),
is a not-to-miss
fixture in the annual
calendar.
For ten days and
nights, some
50,000 lively visitors
meet in the
Eisweinhalle and
on the fairground,
where
excellent Wiesloch
wines and
delicious Palatinate
dishes are served. A well-chosen selection
of attractions was presented on the fairground,
put together by the Lowinger showman firm. This
year, the Boos brothers, who are regular guests
at the event, presented their “Extrem” Propeller,
which along with the “Jupiter-Rad” (Barth &
Kipp) took its passengers high up into the sky.
They were joined by the “Breakdance”
(Sobczyk), “Dance Express” (Spindler) and the
“Walk of Fame” Labyrinth (Schürmann). On the
second Saturday of the event the “Wein und
Markt” wine festival was held only a few hundred
metres from the fairground in the town centre for
the 40 th time. On this particular day the town centre
is usually crowded by visitors, and there is
hardly any room left to move. Unfortunately, the
showmen could not benefit from this additional
event, as only few visitors made their way to the
fairground after their exhausting visit to the town
centre. Negatively noticeable was the aggressive
mood among drunken, mostly adolescent
fairground visitors, some of them so “boozed up”
even in the early evening that they even noisily
and verbally abused policemen.

MODEL CONSTRUCTION
“MODELL-HOBBY-SPIEL” EXHIBITION IN LEIPZIG
From October 1 st to 3 rd 2010, the
15 th “Modell-Hobby-Spiel" e x-
hibition, whic h boasts one of
the highest visitor attendance
figures among model construction,
arts and crafts, model
railways and games exhibitions
in German y, was held in
halls 2 and 5 at the Leipzig
Messe.

Throughout the three days, the four exhibition
halls were entirely dedicated to the manufacturers
and model builders who had come from Germany,
the Czech Republic and Poland. A total of
640 exhibitors – including almost all the market
leaders from the different exhibition sections – presented
basically everything relating to creative and
entertaining recreational activities on an 80,000 m 2
area. Additionally, the works of the model railway
and model builders, demonstrated to interested expert
visitors just what can be done in model building
today. There were also some specialist traders
who offered for sale a 'representative selection' (not
however, always necessarily the case) from all the
hobby sections. Apart from model
railways, military models, model
ships and aircraft, model cars and
construction vehicles, as well as
every kind of steam models of various
gauges and scales, model
builders and friends of fairground
model construction also presented
fairground models at Leipzig, while
at the same time taking the opportunity
for a bit of shop-talk. In the exhibition
area of the “Mini Truck Club
Recklinghausen”, many concession
stalls, the nearly completed model
of a nostalgic Ferris Wheel, as well
as the gondola trailer of a “Top Spin”
were on show. Visitors were also
able to admire a carefully designed mini fairground
from the “Mitteldeutscher Minitruck Modellbau Interessengemeinschaft",
which was presented on a
low loader in the middle of the exhibition area. Ramon
Böse from Bad Dürrenberg exhibited a not yet
completed model of the Mondial Ferris Wheel from
the Lorenz firm, the kiddie carousel and the structurally
completed model of the Waltzer ride from the
showman Klaus Eckstein from Bernburg, as well as
several concession stalls and the 1:13 scale model
of a grill pavilion. Uwe and Christopher Rodloff
presented their "Die Krake" model and the perfectly
working 1:14.5 scale model of the “Allround” centrepiece
with hydraulic lift drive. With his Musik Express
model and two new models – a shooting
gallery and a confectionery wagon, which he presented
at an exhibition for the first time - Christian
Geist surprised the visitors with a couple of pieces
de resistance in model construction. The two wagons
were reproduced down to the smallest detail,
with their true-to-original interior furnishing proving
to be of particular fascination to the visitors. Moreover,
Matthias Prenzlow exhibited his 1:12 scale
“Star Flyer” model, which has recently been
equipped with running light elements. Although the
model was not fully functional due to a minor transport
accident, visitors were still enthralled by its impressive
height.
The mini fairground was rounded off by numerous
traction units, caravans and baggage vans, screen
fences, and some 100 figures from the Polly-Pocket
and Lundby brands. The fairground models of
high quality, great attention to detail and high precision,
as well as the unusual design of the booth,
magically pulled in the visitors and gave rise to an
endless frenzy of flashing cameras.

EXHIBITION
Having reached the

Roma, there was nothing
standing in the way of the
amusement business
The leading European exhibition
for the am usement industr y,
which was f ounded in 2001 b y
the association f or am usement
manufacturers EAASI and which
has been under the international
umbrella of IAAP A since 2004,
took place fr om the 6 th to 8 th of
October for the 11 th time. Despite

The four participants of
the “European Theme Park
Legends” (from left to right)
were Ton van de Ven, Alberto
Zamperla, Karl-Heinz Mordelt,
and Gottlieb Löffelhardt
EAS 2010
Continuously increasing visitor numbers mark the
stations of the venue locations until now: The
city of London was the beginning in January 2002,
followed by Düsseldorf (Germany), Genoa (Italy),
Paris (France), Vienna twice (Austria), Seville
(Spain), in the year 2008 a double exhibition in Nice
(France) in January and Munich (Germany) in September,
last year in Amsterdam, right up to the last
highlight in Rome.
With almost 9,000 guests from all over the world,
naturally particularly from Europe, the Eternal City
on the Tiber can look back at a new visitor record.
Interesting also was the simultaneous presentation
of the Gaming Exhibition ENADA with congener
content in other exhibition halls, which unfortunately
were very far away from the historic city and
very difficult to reach with public or private transport.
And so it was quite easy to take a look at
another exhibition as well. The result of the three
exhibition days was heavily frequented aisles,
although it must be emphasized that the previously
mentioned visitor number refers only to the EAS. In
addition to the 14,000 square metre sized exhibition
area that was divided into two halls, there was
also an outside area of 3,000 square metres between
the two buildings. There were predominately
inflatables presented there under the sunny, early
autumn Italian weather, as well as a 5D-cinema on
an articulated trailer from Polish manufacturer
Budgast. Incidentally, the number of built up and
operational attractions has never been so low as
this time, among them though a new kiddie ride attraction
by the name of “Volare” from EOS Rides,
which turned out to be a real eye catcher in the
exhibition hall.
The framework programme was as usual straightforward
but qualitative: in addition to the safety-and
marketing seminar, there was also a day long
advanced training seminar organized by TEA
(Themed Entertainment Association), a back stage
tour of the not yet opened Rainbow Magic Land
near Rome, a sightseeing tour to the Vatican, as well
as the entertaining discussion forum “European
Theme Park Legends” – similar to the IAAPA version
“Disney Legends”.
58

The last mentioned programme was conducted in
honour of four participants who have rendered outstanding
services to the amusement industry:
Alberto Zamperla, whose ancestors operated a
huge orchestra before his great-grandfather Giovanni
built the first ride construction, and who now
has also become a park operator himself this year
by reanimating the historic Luna Park on Coney Island
with 30 million Euro. Gottlieb Löffelhardt, who
can look back at a 385 year old showman dynasty
and was on tour with among others the indoor
coaster “Düsenspirale” from Schwarzkopf and was
ride-concessionaire at Liseberg before he, together
with Richard Schmidt, founded Phantasialand in
1967, and later the Sao Paolo Playcenter (opened
in 1973) and took over the Italian theme park Mirabilandia
(in 1996). Karl-Heinz Mordelt, whose parents

animatronics figures for American stores and later
for amusement parks. In the interim, he had also
operated a fairyland forest that had to
be closed due to its huge success
causing disturbance to the residents.
Ton van de Ven, who as an eleven
year old was disappointed in his first
Efteling visit and who later basically
designed the park in the Netherlands
together with Anton Piek. In answer to
a question posed as to what makes
an amusement industry company
successful, Ton van de Veen, who
dueing his three year apprenticeship
had worked for Mordelt, gave food for
thought: “Do it your way, but make it
different, and you’ll see it will be successful.
Anything that’s important
remains with us forever. Fairytales
and legends keep your eyes open.”
Karl-Heinz Mordelt attested with the
words “People collect memories
rather than objects”, and expanded
by saying that it is extremely important
not only to invest in a coaster that
will be used by a maximum of 50% of
the park visitors, but also in theme
and Darkrides for the whole family.
Gottlieb Löffelhardt confirmed that despite the six
thrill rides at Phantasialand, it is essential that it
remains a family park and underlined his statement
with a marketing strategy from McDonalds: “If you
get the children by the time they are six years of
age, then you have them for life…or never.”
The reason for children under seven years of age
entering Phantasialand at no charge is because
this strategy, which despite initial skepticism, also
functions in the amusement park industry. Alberto
Zamperla expressed his thoughts that “it’s not a
good business idea to operate a park from the office”,
as is becoming increasingly common in recent
times in many instances. Löffelhardt, who sold
the Mirabilandia Park that he operated together with
Giancarlo to the Spanish Group Parques Reunidos
in 2006 opened doors to thought by saying “The
chairman never comes to the park, and the new
General Manager says ‘we can do this and that, and
then we have more profit.’ Okay, they bought the
park and can do what they want. But this way there’s
no heart in the park anymore.”

The fact that Heimo is no longer “only” manufacturer
of animatronics figures but is also very strongly
involved in the design concept area and offers ser-

vices right up to complete park designs, has been
known for a long time. And it’s as though the German
company had a premonition about the daily
traffic chaos to and from the Fiera di Roma, when
presenting the “Themed Speed Thrill Ride” on the
basis of the “Drifter” concept from Mondial Rides.
The manufacturer from the Netherlands had already
presented this new type of attraction idea two
years ago, with the back of vehicles strongly swinging
out in the curves, causing a new type of racing
feeling, and allowing a maximum speed of up to 80
kilometres per hour together with gradient and incline
sequences. But it was first the brilliant design
idea from Heimo that has breathed life into this attraction,
showing its potential and making each ride
almost a haptic experience: a wild taxi ride through
congested city bustle, dark alleys, one-way-streets
and shopping malls.

the well proven lift technology.
Theo van Zwieten has now announced
to the press more indepth
details about the “Movie
Flight” with which large spherical
cinemas can be equipped. The
project, with each unit accommodating
60 persons (three rows
under each other, each with 20
suspended seats) was already
revealed to a selected number of
customers two years ago, according to Van Zwieten.
GEL Garmendale
The British firm, which has been operating as subcontractor
for Severn-Lamb since 1982 and undertakes
build up and dismantling for other well
known manufacturers as well, now wants to do exactly
the same for the amusement industry under
its own name. The vehicle introduced in Rome belongs
in the “Magtrack”-system and follows simply
laid out tracks on the floor that – in addition to stationary
attractions – can, due to their simple handling
also be used as temporary devices for example
in shopping malls.
Severn-Lamb
The company from England founded in 1947 and
still remaining in family possession, is manufacturer
among the many others, of street trains as well as
park railways. The company was able during the
past season to deliver a particularly lovely variation
of a track version to the French park Farispertuis
City. This Texan designed train with four wagons
has been placed on the 1971 installed, 400 metre
track bed, and fits in perfectly to the western theme
of the park.

extension.
KaGo & Hammerschmidt
An authentic world novelty was presented by a
South German company that exhibited at the EAS
for the first time, and which until now has focused
mainly more in the area of design and completion
of rock work, artificial landscapes, and textile
palms. The company’s largest clients include for example
the Zoom Erlebniszoo in Gesenkirschen, the
Zoo in Leipzig and the Aida-cruise ship company.
However now, under the project name of “Deep
Sea”, the company will not only provide an authentic
underwater world, but also at the same time the
corresponding U-boat-ride attraction (manufactured
by the Nemo Tauchtouristik firm). Following extensive
tests, TÜV approval has been given for an
underwater boat with panoramic view, which really
does go under water and doesn’t only
simulate a diving trip such as is the
case of the Disney attraction “Finding
Nemo Submarine Voyage”. Great interest
was shown by trade visitors, and
Kai Hammerschmidt was visibly proud
of the progress of the exhibition appearance:
“Even representatives of
Disney, Merlin, and Centerparcs informed
themselves about our product.”
The introduced concept showed
an indoor attraction that can be installed
in a 50 by 26 metre sized hall.
The four-seat U-boats are led on a
track above the water surface, similar
to a suspended coaster, and due to
their free suspension, react also to currents
and other influences under water,
for example collapsed rock walls. The
maximum diving depth is approximately
one metre. Passenger loading
is undertaken in the authentic style and
lasts about two minutes; the ride itself
five minutes. This results in a theoretic
capacity of 900 persons per hour with
20 four-seat boats.

ren from the age of four years with a size from one
metre are already allowed to partake of the ride.
Operation is per friction drive wheels, the brakes on
the other hand are magnetic. The theming will be
according to customer requirements, however the
coaster will not be completely roofed over as initially
thought of by park Management. Further along
Zierer will be delivering the third “Star Shape” at the
beginning of next year (following the Kaiser family
Germany, and Blackpool Pleasure Beach, England).
This 29.5 metre high suspended major ride
with ground measurements of 23 by 19 metres
offers 30 passengers countless 360° inversions on
their own axis. Electrical requirements are 100 kW
for lighting and 320 kW for operation (the main arm
rotates with up to 7.2 r.p.m.). The long established
showman company Danter Attractions will no doubt
be very pleased about the ride, and will put its “Air”
construction with tattoo motives into operation in the
middle of April at the Scottish Kirkcaldy Links Market.
This appearance is planned to be followed by
venues in the British cities of Herford, Newcastle,
Cardiff, Bridgewater, the Nottingham Goose Fair
and Hull.

“Sierra Sidewinder” at Knott’s Berry Farm). Ocean
Park in Hong Kong will also receive a Powered
Coaster from Mack in the 2011 season. The highlight
here will be the integrated LED-lights on both
sides of the train, and a seat for disabled park
guests. In the upcoming year a water coaster will
be erected at Danish Djurs Sommerland, which will
be a smaller version than the “Poseidon” attraction
at Europa-Park with its 26 metre height and length
of 450 metres, but as far as design is concerned
will be ideally imbedded in the pirate area. The location
will be directly next to the MegaLite-coaster
“Piraten” from Intamin.
Zamperla
With the huge success with the takeover of Luna
Park on Coney Island, the second phase is to be
completed in the coming season. This will entail the
opening of the “Scream Zone” and the erection of
a further two coasters, namely the “American
Eagle” (the world’s eighth “Volare”-Flying Coaster),
and “Steeplechase” (a “MotoCoaster” ride). Initially
the company’s own attractions will be erected,
explained Alberto Zamperla upon enquiry, after all,
the company has a very large ride spectrum on
offer. With that, the new park with the historic title
will develop to be a lucrative but not uninteresting
66

American ride-showcase for the Italian manufacturer.
And there is hope that the idea of erecting
prototypes here will take root. For example, Zamperla’s
design department has just now introduced
the spectacular “Dive Coaster” concept, a very
similar construction to the first segment of B&M’s
“SheiKra” at Busch Gardens Tampa, however with
smaller measurements, and without a doubt less
costs, so that the 365 metre long and 38 metre high
attraction will definitely be interesting for the middle
sized parks as well.
Further American deliveries are: A “Wave Swinger”,
a “Rockin’ Tug” and a “Teacup” ride to the
Waldameer Park, another SeaWorld Park will
receive a “Rockin’ Tug”, Sesame Place will be very
happy about its “Family Wave Swinger”, and the
Cedar Fair Group has ordered 17 smaller kiddie
rides for 2011. The Indonesian park Trans Studio
Gogor will receive a “Power Surge”, a Monorail, a
“Wave Blaster”, a “Sky Drop” and two Darkrides.
The Potery Harbour Park, another in Indonesia, will
erect a new “Thomas the Train”-kiddie area with the
Zamperla-rides “Jumpin’ Star”, “Crazy Bus”, “Mini
Jet” and a small Ferris Wheel. Also going to
Indonesia, to the Pekambau Park, are a “Speedy
Coaster”, a “Wave Swinger”, a “Sky Tower” and a
“Wave Blaster”. The Australian Aussie World will
receive a “Mega Disk’O“. And to the Chinese park,
the Spring and Autumn Park in Shangzou, Zamperla
delivers a “Volare”-Flying-Coaster. The Italian
manufacturer is also installing a number of ride
attractions in Europe, for example the “Air Race”,
the second delivery after Coney Island, and the
new “Nickelodeon”-kiddie area at Blackpool Pleasure
Beach will see the erection of a “Jump
Around”, “Aero Top Jet”, a “Crazy Sombrero” and a
“Mega Disk’O 24”. All told, Zamperla plans to erect
a whopping 150 ride constructions in 2011, which
will be produced worldwide by 450 employees (150
alone from Italy).

Preston & Barbieri
Maurer Söhne
Lino Ferretti on
a “Worm-rider” gondola for
Germany’s Phantasialand
Largely unnoticed by the public and by the trade
press, a new coaster was opened at the French
Dennyls Parc already in July 2010. Even more
amazing is the fact that it is a Racing Coaster, rarely
represented in Europe. To be more specific the
double coaster “Nitro” is a so-called moebius
coaster because there is no other example in the
world apart from the one at Blackpool Pleasure
Beach! Insofar the twice 230 metre long track is actually
only a single 450 metres long course, with the
station area being in the centre. The maximum
height is 11.5 metres, and there are six four-seat individual
cars in use, resulting in an hourly capacity
of 500 passengers per hour. The required ground
area at Dennyls Parc is 59 by 39 metres.
At the EAS exhibition in
Rome on the other hand,
a somewhat larger version
was presented
(with a 550 metre track
length) that is to open in
the upcoming season in
a big Italian theme park.
Mr Lino Ferretti also announced
that all new
and already existing
“Splash Battle” attractions
can be equipped
with environmental filter
systems, which naturally
will not be using any
chemicals. This year’s
stand with two big gondolas
on display was
also correspondingly
close to nature – as a
green oasis in the middle
of a hectic exhibition
stage.
Maurer Söhne is bringing an interesting new development
on the market: the “FireWheel” – a wheel
that has 12 built-in LEDs that will be operated by
dynamo. The additional viscous drag is minimal
and an expensive recharger is unnecessary. For
the first time, the new coaster “Freischütz” at Bayern-Park
will be equipped with the system. Basically,
all new and even existing coasters using the
“X-Cars” from Maurer Söhne could be equipped
with this innovative wheel. New also from the Munich
manufacturer is the four-seat “C-Car” with Ackermann
steering. A “Sky Loop” (alternatively “Sky-
Wheel”), for an Australian park, and two other examples
for Chinese locations are ready for delivery.
A Launch Coaster will also be delivered to China.

3DBA / Dynamic Structures
Huss Park Attractions
The American steel construction company Dynamic
Structures, which has already built the spectacular
suspended cinemas for Disney and the “Harry Potter”-ride
system based on the “RoboCoaster” for Islands
Of Adventure, presented itself at the collective
3DBA stand. In the case of the new semi-transportable
“Flying Theatre”-system that can be built
into every existing IMAX-cinema, 20 to 102 passengers
take their place before the seat rows, together
with the ascending platform move towards
the screen, and sink simultaneously – without a
doubt an additional thrill when gliding towards a
bottomless pit. There have also been a number of
changes made to the “RoboCoasters”: four-seat
passenger carriers, the same as the Harry-Potterride,
provide a higher capacity, and shorter arms
for a lower space requirement for indoor operation.
The ride manufacturer Huss from Bremen is not only
currently erecting, as earlier already announced, a
new 120 metre high viewing tower with a worked
over, almost round viewing capsule at the Chinese
Dinosaur Park. The same type of attraction will also
go to a park from the OCT-Group in Wuhun. The
same park will also receive a “Giant Frisbee”, (the
7 th delivery worldwide of this spectacular large attraction).
Michael Hesse also announced the reworking
of the “King Kong” rides. Although all customers
were very satisfied with operation until now,
the company wants to make the ride more thrilling
in order to support the story more effectively, and
with that make the attraction even more attractive
for further parks. Future deliveries will apparently
have stronger arms, so that for example the passenger
carrier can sink a great deal faster.

Technical Park
The Italian manufacturing company celebrated its
30 th anniversary this year. In the earlier days the firm
was called MEL Park, and at this year’s exhibition
in its homeland, the company presented its first car
for the newly designed train that came into being in
cooperation with Italian design students. The
coaster will, as already reported, go to the South
American Parque Italo-Americano park. Additionally
a 25 metre high Ferris Wheel with two supports
will be installed in a North American park.
S&S Worldwide
Patrice Fleurant, Park Manager of the French
Amusement Park Fraispertuis City in Jeanménil,
signed a purchase agreement at the exhibition in
Rome for a spectacular “El Loco”-coaster! The
opening of this unusual coaster with a height of 30
metres and on which its four-seat individual cars
conquer a 112° steep drop, two inversions and hairpin
curves slanting towards the outside (!) of the attraction,
is planned for June 2011. Atelier Artistique
du Béton will equip the ride with various decoration
elements that will give the attraction a forest-like appearance,
for example a vertical track sequence
will travel through a hollowed out tree trunk.
Euroviva
A new type of cable car is coming from Euroviva,
where each passenger lays down in a bee (other
motives are also possible), which has to fly over various
obstacles during the horizontal movement.
This is made possible by wing beats that are supported
hydraulically and cause up and down movements.
The first construction of this type will apparently
be realized in a hall initially.
The team from Technical
Park is without a doubt proud
of the new car design

Lagotronics
The firm from the Netherlands introduced a model
of its new Walkthrough concept “Deep Sea”, made
in cooperation with Theme Builders. During a type
of pre-show, 32 visitors take their place and
experience a 3D-film.
At the end they can explore the underwater world,
waiting with a number of surprises, such as for example
a shark-slide.
At the end of the passageway they enter a grotto
filled with sea monsters. Here there is nothing to
shoot at as is the general trend, but laser pistols in
the form of mussels can be aimed at targets that
deliver entertaining and informative information
about sea life. The attraction, initially located on
1,000 square metres, will provide entertainment
and education – in other words it will be simultaneously
an Edutainment attraction.
Clostermann
The design and animatronics specialist Clostermann
presented in cooperation with FAB a – as it’s
officially called “prepared for a concrete reason”
model of the “Jungle Photos Safari”. Four-seat
jeeps are used on a 360 metre long course, with
adventurers being equipped with cameras in order
to make photos of wanted animals. The basic
speed of the track-guided but in an 80 centimetre
area manoeuvrable vehicle, is predetermined but
can however be influenced by the driver’s gas
pedal. Whilst the safari offers funny but alarming effects
in jungle themed surroundings as well, a
photo of the adventurous safari including points
attained can be purchased by visitors.
The lavish scene including animatronics will be
completed by Clostermann, whilst the hardware
and the proved “Funcars”-system with massive low
wear-and-tear tracks are from FAB.
Intamin
Theme and inspiration for IntaRide’s largest attraction
for the year 2011 is the fastest land animal in
the world: the cheetah. The 1,350 metre long coaster
“Cheetah Hunt” will open at Busch Gardens Tampa,
giving guests the feeling of experiencing the
hunting behaviour of wild cats.
Lightning acceleration, fast directional change,
speedy running in flat grassland, and springs into
a rocky ravine characterise the wild chase of the
cheetah.
The creation of an attractive and varied layout was
a big challenge despite it being mostly uni-dimensional,
and partly under the grassless track course.

Who would have thought
it? It appears that the earlier
niveau is to be retained even
after the sale of the park group
to Blackstone
This is to be offset with the help of three acceleration
sequences: the first will drive the train to 48 kilometres
with an initial push, the second to almost
100, and the third will accelerate it to 64 kilometres
per hour.
The highest point of the attraction will reach 31 metres,
the deepest drop (in an underground gorge)
will be 31 metres.
A lot of steep curves, a figure-8-sequence in lofty
heights, a directional change, a Heartline-Roll and
a Trick-Track-sequence will provide variety, and the
five trains, each accomodating 16 passengers will
bring a satisfactory capacity of 1,350 persons per
hour.
Sascha Czibulka also reported during the interview
a renaissance for Intamin’s older constructions:
currently there are a lot of enquiries regarding viewing
towers and monorails, particularly from the
Asian area.
Vekoma Rides
The manufacturer from the Netherlands, Vekoma, is
currently occupied in erecting ride constructions
for the new Italian Rainbow Magic Land. All told,
there are four attractions that have been delivered
there: an 80 person “Madhouse”, a “Sky Shuttle”, a
681 metre long Mine Train and a 335 metre long Junior
Coaster. And England’s Drayton Manor Theme
Park is also to receive a new attraction from Vekoma
at the beginning of the next season. In this case
it’s even a novelty, the first completed “Family
Boomerang” with inversions, that will replace the
ride construction “Sombreros” at the park, all announced
at a park organized press conference on

will be installed in the kiddie area “Thomas Land”).

of the technical components,
so that water park guests can visit
the cinema even in their bathers.
abc rides
A firework of newly interpreted ride
construction ideas were introduced
by the Swiss manufacturer abc
rides – and into the bargain, have
been settled into the new sector
“smart rides”, which simply means
that none will cost more than
150,000 Euro. For example, the 8.5
metre high pulley principled tower “Lift Off” with the
line of vision to the outside, or the “Catch the Cat”,
in which case each team has a teammate on the
ground who has to transport his or her partner to
the top as fast as possible by muscle power. For
those who find this too much of a physical effort, a
joystick can be used on the also 8.5 metre high “Jo
Jo” for transport up and down. Particularly spectacular
however are two newly introduced major
rides: In the case of “Alpenblitz”, a two-seat gondola
is affixed to a seven metre long arm, which can
be brought into rotation additionally by way of a joystick.
The theoretical passenger capacity is 120
persons per hour. The “Marble Race” is based on
a marble run and is a type of kiddie version of ride
type “Zac Spin Coaster” from Intamin, or alternatively
“Frequent Faller” from Interactive Rides. After
the two-seat gondolas have reached a height of
eight metres by way of a vertical lift, they speed towards
the ground in a vertical zigzag. A fourfold design
brings the construction to a total capacity of
320 passengers per hour. In addition to this amusing
concept idea, the very real sale of four attractions
to the Merlin-Group was announced: the new
Legoland Malaysia will receive a large water attraction
and a “Boating School” from abc rides, the
new Legoland Florida will also receive a “Boating
School”, and the new Dungeon at Blackpool Tower
will be equipped with an Indoor-Freefall Tower. ■

with the EDA Theme Park, the EDA Outlet
Mall, and two hotels and is located in the mountainous
landscape north east of Kaohsiung.
Those who do not travel with their own car there,
have to undertake a half hour autobus ride to
reach the entertainment centre. Such a decentralised
location for a theme park is not unusual,
but is however for a resort in the style of an
urban entertainment centre, which is what EDA
World actually is.
A huge shopping centre, cinema, theme park,
and a skating rink are what secluded visitors
search for, all of which is already offered in similar
establishments such as the Lotte World in
Seoul, the Joypolis in Tokyo, or the Berjaya
Time Square in Kuala Lumpur that entice residents
of large cities. When one thinks about the fact that
similar offers are made in the overcrowded area of
Kaohsiung, the necessary trip can be an irritating
hindrance that could discourage the residents of
the large city to fill the shops and both luxurious
hotels. In addition to the EDA Skylark hotel with its
358 rooms, there are also the Crown Plaza Kaohsiung
EDA with 656 rooms and even a 5-star-hotel,
and in the EDA Outlet Mall itself, the shops offer
world famous premium brands such as for example
Gucci, YSL and Armani.
84

Apart from a school, a university, as well as a hospital
– all elements belonging to the operator E-
United Group – there is actually nothing else in the
immediate vicinity. Every hour a shuttle bus brings
guests from Kaohsiung, which is the second
largest city in Taiwan following Taipei, with almost
over 1.5 million residents. In order to offset the disadvantage
of the location in rural isolation there
are also countless living quarters in addition to the
entertainment complex, into which it is hoped that
future customers will move to. A total amount of
500 million Euro has apparently been invested in
the 90 hectare sized grounds. If the EDA World really
does become a satellite city before the gates
of Kaohsiung with offers being accepted by the
new residents, then the calculation may well add
up. With solely resort visitors of which 60% come
from Kaohsiung and 40% from other regions of
Taiwan, the path to being in the black appears
lengthy.
Positive on the other hand is the fact that the larger
theme parks of Taiwan all are either located in the
north in the catchment area of Taipei – as are the
traditional parks Window on China and Leofoo

is still largely development land. Taking also into
consideration that Kaohsiung is the final destination
of the high speed railroad coming from Taipei
that conquers its 345 kilometre long course in
approximately 90 minutes, and is at the same time
the gateway to the well visited and appealing landscape
of the Kenting National Park, clever
marketing could well win one or the other tourist
for a one or two day stopover at EDA World.

amusement park of the resort, strives for

parks in Taiwan – the Leofoo Village in the north
and the Janfusun Fancyworld in centre of the
country – manage this figure as well, but are distinctly
larger as far as ground area is concerned.
In return, the EDA World has countless other entertainment
possibilities on offer, which exceed the
offers of normal theme parks by far. A total of 4.5
million visitors are expected to the resort in the first
year, and even 6 million annually after that.
Whilst the planned numbers for the complete complex
can well be questioned, it appears that the
theme park at least is viable at the very least for a
strong first year, also due to the background of a
high quality choice of products, which raises the
novelty value considerably.
Park guests wander through a mixture of an outdoor
and indoor park that also offers non-weather
dependant fun during the hot southern Taiwan
summer in air-conditioned halls. One of the two indoor
areas – the “Acropolis” – is still under construction,
which is the reason that currently visitors
have no choice other than to saunter along the
“Greek Avenue” in the blazing sun that leads
directly to the other end of the park area to the
mountain of Troy.

To the right of the path a “Booster” from Fabbri
makes its rounds. The “Jungle Jack” tower attraction
(also from Fabbri) directly next to it was not in
operation during the soft-opening phase.
A harmonious looking row of houses in blue and
white are located to the left of the “Greek Avenue”,
designed in the typical style of the Greek island
Santorin. Inside there
are a shop, a restaurant,
and an exhibition hall,
which currently is presenting
a confectionary
collection. Both of the
main attractions of the
outdoor area are located
at the end of the “Avenue”
in front of the Trojan
castle: the “Flume
Ride”, a water attraction
with two drops from
Swiss Rides, offering
visitors a wild ride over the Aegean Ocean, and
the “Big Air” from Vekoma, the largest coaster at
the park.
Whilst the very soon to be 108 kilometre per hour
“Big Air” with its huge 60 metre high U-formed
track construction is not yet in operation (expected
start in November 2010) due to a missing
electrical connection, ride guests can already take
their place in the red boats of the water ride in the
hull of an ancient Greek sailing vessel and travel
through a volcano, and during the final drop, meet
up with the three-headed Hydra. The 480 metre
long attraction is the highest of its type in Taiwan.
Overall this attraction is a successful fusion of a
Flume Ride and Shoot-the-Chutes. The volcano
will be noticeable in the future with regular eruptions.
On the other side of the “Greek Avenue” is a Fabbri
“Splash Battle” located directly next to the “Big Air
Shuttle Coaster“. The boats at this stage however
are still in dry dock.

PORTRAIT
After park guests pass under the huge rump of a
Trojan horse that fills the area in front of the Trojan
Castle with a lot of atmosphere, they come upon
the second indoor area of the park, the “Trojan
Castle”. In this building with a total of six levels,
there’s a lot more hidden than is expected. The two
main attractions here are the Vekoma Junior
Coaster “Dark Ride” and the “Formosa Taiwan”,
also from Vekoma and realized together with
Brogent Technologies from Taiwan. This is a flight
simulator which allows guests – similar to “Soarin’
over California” in the Disney parks – to fly lofty
heights, in this case however not really suitable to
the overall Greek theme, over the Island of Taiwan.
This is the first of this type of construction from the
Dutch manufacturer that is operated under the
name of “I-Ride”.
The technical execution of the attraction is very
successful. Each of the nine gondolas has six degrees
of freedom, which means that they can
move on six different axles. The eight-seat
gondolas gently sway here and there in front of the
large curved screen upon which landscape
motives are projected. The entrance is on three
levels. Three gondolas are located on one individual
level and after the passengers have taken
their place the ride begins quasi inside the screen.
Something that could improve the impressive ride
could be effects such as wind and fog, which
would then make the flight over the 22 most beautiful
landscapes of Taiwan into a perfect experience.
The “Haunted House” is located on the lowest
level of the building. This type of Walkthrough
attraction was not present on the island state until
this year, which is a little amazing as even with
a small budget this sector can offer a lot. What has
been presented under this modest name is a relatively
plain version that after a promising prelude
is more or less disappointing: too much of the
dark, little action, and only scattered shock
effects, however one or the other live actor waits
for visitors.
“Samba Tower” and a chain ride, as well as a Spinning
Mouse by the name of “Roof Junior Coaster”
(all from Fabbri) have been installed on the roof of
the Trojan Castle, but elsewhere in the building are
ride constructions out of the Zamperla range: in
addition to the classics such as “Crazy Bus”, “Mini
Rockin’ Tug” and “Jumpin’ Star” there are also
relatively new ride models such as “Magic Bikes”,
which make it a paradise for the younger guests
in particular in this park section. Something really
admirable is the double-storey carousel from
Chance that has been installed in a bright indoor
section with skylights. One level higher is the
station area of the 386 metre “Monorail” from Swiss
Rides that connects the “Trojan Castle” with the
“Acropolis”, and brings guest from there back to
the entrance of the park.

EDA Theme Park is at the moment not a park for
spending the whole day. But when all attractions
are in operation later this year, it will show just what
one really gets in return for the admittance price
of 22 Euro – a similar amount is required for example
by the Taiwanese market leader Leofoo Village.
However, as earlier mentioned, when leaving
the EDA theme park everything is not over by
far. On the other side of the elongated building
complex where the EDA Outlet Mall is located, an
85 metre high Ferris Wheel has been installed on
the roof, the highest that can be bought in Taiwan.
With the pending opening of a used example from
Japan, this title will then go to the Yamay Resort
very soon in central Taiwan. A ride on the wheel
from Fabbri is without charge for visitors and gives
a really good overall view of the magnitude of the
resort. Currently there are countless residential
houses under construction, and at the end of the
year all rides and attractions should be in operation.
The park advertises 47 attractions.
The design of the park by the way was by a firm
that specialises in this type of project – the
Taiwanese company Six J Co., Ltd., a firm that has
been involved for more than ten years in similar
design projects such as the Janfusun Fancyworld
and Formosan Aboriginal Cultural Village. The
future development according to the master plan
is the construction of a cable car to the nearby
monastery Foguangshan that has developed into
a well visited tourist destination, not least because
of its countless gold coloured Buddha statues –
among them a 36 metre example.

Naturally the heroes
of Toy Story can be
experienced as live acts
“Toy Story Playland” opened on
the 17 th of August at Walt Disney
Studios Park near P aris, fifteen
years after the première of the
cinema film “Toy Story 1”.

Toy Story Playland
Whether an American,
patriotic, and in this case
military theme really belongs
in a family park has to be
questioned
The characters around Cowboy Woody and
Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear have developed
to be the new stars of the Disney empire over the
past years.
And so this toy story is the only one up until now
in just three parts that has managed to be retold
as a feature length animated film.
In the middle of July the third part of the series hit
the cinemas and Disney's advertising machine
worked at full pace so that the opening, even from
a theme park point of view, took place late in the
season, but fitted exactly to the hype of the cinema
film.
Following “Crush’s Coaster “(simultaneous to the
cinema hit “Find Nemo”), and the attraction relating
to the animation “Cars”, the Pixar-theme area
around “Playland” was extended almost without a
break. Already today it is obvious that this will not
be the last upgrading step in this complex, built
around successful computer animated films. When
visitors turn to the right from the previous Pixar attractions
coming to the entrance of “Playland”, they
will eventually wonder these days about the theming,
as the walkway is a reproduction of a Paris
street. However the details disclose the next attraction,
as areas on the street are presented as
92

small cooking huts, and the benches carry the likeness
of rats. Behind the construction fences there’s
a lot of industrious work going on as well, on the
novelty for the year 2012, which will be the first
Darkride at the Studios Park.
However let’s return to the present and take a look
into the colourful world of the new theme area: at
the entrance an oversized Buzz Lightyear greets
guests, bringing a sparkle to many a kiddie eye.
“Playland” has been equipped with three attractions
from the Swiss manufacturer Intamin. Unfortunately
they all have a very low capacity, so that even
so short a time after the opening, intolerably long
waiting times have developed. The complete area
is completely overrun, so there’s hardly any atmosphere,
even though the area has been lovingly designed
and visitors do feel as though they have
shrunk to toy size. The “Toy Soldiers Parachute
Drop” that can be seen from far away, is located on
the left side, where even the very smallest guest can
have the first “falling experience” in the company
of parents. A gondola is affixed on each of the six
parachutes, which accommodate up to six persons,
three per side. Visitors here are pulled up into
the heights only once, and “dropped” towards the
ground again. The military theme of the tower that
really has to be criticized is not really perceived by
most of the visitors.

design, the “Parachute Drop”

guest a lot of pleasure

PORTRAIT
The major ride
“Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin”
was also built by Intamim
Interesting toys in large
format in plenty in the area
The next ride attraction on offer is named after the
funny toy dog Slinky Dog – a Roundabout, actually
known from every fairground, which didn’t quite
function perfectly in the opening phase. When the
“Slinky Dog Zig Zag Spin” did make its rounds,
even there the waiting lines were quickly filled up.
Interesting though is a quick look at the technology:
the train travels the complete circuit and is accelerated
with the aid of friction drive wheels on the
coaster tracks. The cars stop exactly on the same
spot after each ride, so that the control barrier protects
precisely the area between the tail and the
head of the dog.
In order to reduce the waiting time at least even a
little, all three attractions have an extremely short
ride programme. On the one hand good for the waiting
visitor; after having taken their place, the ride
however is almost over already. And all this is blatantly
obvious on the third attraction. In the case of
the Halfpipe coaster “RC Racer”, the cars are
accelerated only twice at full height, before the
LSM-module already begins with the braking
process again. In the building plans of “Playland”
there was a double execution of this attraction
shown for a long time – why this plan was never
implemented at the end of the day is unknown; the
capacity would have done a lot of good for this variation.
In comparison to the classic “Halfpipe” from
Intamin, the daring passengers here sit four
abreast, all in the one direction, and the rotation of
the gondola is missing – the actual thrill component
of this attraction. With that, the “RC Racer” is actually
a ride similar to a Swing Boat attraction on
tracks.
The “Toy Story Playland” is a terrific extension of the
film park. Even if the capacity of the individual
attractions is very low, the overall capacity of the
park has been extended. Somewhat unfortunate is
94

undoubtedly that there are attractions with the
theme Toy Story in both parks. And why the very
well received Toy Story attraction “Toy Story Mania”
(KPR 2008) from the USA has not found its way to
Europe is hard to explain, and due to the enormous
fun factor actually very regrettable. In summary it’s
once again impressive how Disney hands over a
new theme area to visitors: with perfectly full grown
vegetation, and theming of a high standard. “Toy
Story Playland” is going on a world trip, as a copy
has been announced for Disneyland Hong Kong,
and is already under construction. It is very much
doubted that another further exact copy will be
found in another location, as the visitor attendance
is higher there than in Paris, and the low capacity
will be even more hard to take.

EXTENSION
In the meantime Euro Disney
S.A.S. and the French
government have agreed on
the extension of the current
contract from 2017 to 2030.
Additionally it was also agreed
that the existing grounds
will increase from 1,943 to
2,230 hectares in the frame of
an expansion with an investment
amount of 8 billion €.
Among others, “Val d’Europe”
is to be extended, the
new projects “Les Villages
Nature”, and probably a 3 rd
park starting in 2020 will be
realized. Additionally Philippe
Gas (CEO of Euro Disney)
advised that since 1989,
every Euro from government
funds was followed by 10 €
from private investors. ■

TOP ACT
The drop ends – as it
should on a water attraction
– with a zappy fall into the
water canal
There will be a lot going on in the
Italian region of Lombardi in the
future, as a large slice of the visitor
cake of Northern Italy is
being targeted. Massimiliano
Freddi, the Director of "Minitalia
Leolandia” is striving to achieve
this aim. This relativel y y oung
park is located approximately 40
kilometres east of Milan, and has
already had a n umber of o wner
changes.

six-seat boats, and a view into
the drop
Hydro-Lift
The park was designed and developed by textile
fabricant Guido Pendezzini in 1971, and was
officially opened in 1974 under the name of "Minitalia”.
The first attractions, which are still located
there, were true-to-scale models of Italian places of
interest. Surrounding these miniatures in those
days were speciality shops with culinary delicacies
from all the Italian regions, and a playground. In
1993, the park was sold to two families, Triberti and
Fabbri, who had already had experience in operating
parks, and who renamed the park to "Fantasy
World – Minitalia”. During this time, the first area
with a Wild West theme was erected with rides for

TOP ACT
children. The second takeover took place in 2007
by Zamperla SpA, a company which was a partner
in management of the Triberti Group, together with
the finance company Thorus, Bergamo. Under the
direction of Zamperla with 30 % of shares, and
Thorus with 70 %, the park received its present
name, and a massive extension and renovation.
Thorus is the sole owner of the park since 2009.
New Management since 2009
Management has many ideas and wants to implement
the master plan quickly: a large theme in the
future will be water. Due to the benefits of Italian
temperatures there will either be a small water park
erected, or water attractions. In any case there definitely
will be a "Splash Battle” coming to the park.
The manufacturer however is unknown to date. The
park already has the best rides from Zamperla, so
there will be purchases from other ride producers
in the future. Another theme is indoor rides, with
which the park can open all year round. A park hotel
is also in planning and will be erected in the
northern area of the park. Rides that are already in
the area will be relocated to the southern section
and newly themed, and there are also areas available
for extension as well. The restructuring of the
whole park will be orientated on family guests with
children under 12 years of age.
Minitalia Leolandia comprises of
– as the name indicates – two
different park characteristics: an
area with currently 27 ride constructions
and shows, as well as
the "Minitallia” section with over 160 miniature
replicas. The latest investment of 2 million Euro is a
"Hydro Life” from Zamperla. This new rafting attraction
with the name "Rapide di Leonardo” should
remind visitors thematically of Leonardo da
Vinci. Leonardo had bought about a lot of
development in the Lombardi area, such as
for example, artificial canals that brought
water to the region. The attraction, buildings
and machines have been designed therefore
in the style of this universal genius. The
theming looks terrific and the ride guests
enjoy the splashing pleasure. The construction
is equipped with six round boats,
each with six seats. The ride from the station
begins with a right curve and leads into
a 20 metre high tower. Having arrived into
the inside of the circular tower, passengers
can understand very quickly why Zamperla
had given this type of attraction the name
"Hydro Lift”. A lift platform is located under
the water surface. As soon as a boat has
been positioned over it, a safety bar before
the entrance tips down from above, and in
the next moment the boat is lifted out of the
water and transported 10 metres upwards
within 15 seconds by a vertical lift. Having
arrived at the top, the boat is released from
the lift on rolls, and the nippy ride can begin.
The Rafting Ride has
received a good theming
97

The huge mini-land is an
important part of the park
The ascent in the water lane begins with a helix
which passes to a second helix one level lower. The
speedy downward ride travels at around 12
it is more of a placid experience. When however the
boat is full, then it has a higher spin rate during the
ascent. After the big splash into the canal, the ride
begins to be more of a comfortable lazy ride with
one or the other wave that moves the boat around
in a typical rafting manner. The 125 metre long
layout of cement canal leads initially into a large left
formed half circle then travels the boats over a
snaking course section ending with another small
left formed half circle, before entering the station
after about two minutes ride time. Next year, the
attraction will be equipped with additional water
effects such as a curtain of water and water
cannons.
A Successful Enrichment
A view into the lift tower

and finally a splash. The ride characteristics on the
65 metre long slide are varied and dependant on
the load of the boat. With two or three ride guests
The rafting construction has a complete layout with
a ground area of 57 by 60 metres, and with that is
ideal for small or middle sized parks. The theoretic
capacity has been announced as up to 660 passengers
per hour; electrical requirements amount
to 200 kilowatt. The flow speed in the canal is 2 metres
per second, in other words around 7 kilometres
per hour. In any case the "Rapide di Leonardo” is a
successful enrichment to the park, and it’s definitely
worthwhile to keep an eye on this park in the future
with all its expansion plans.

Holly’s Wilde Autofahrt
Absolutely, as none other than the artist duo
Heinrich und Peter Eberle, who under the pseudonym
“Palettis” have already designed for Walt
Disney and Rolf Kauka (Fix & Foxi), were responsible
for the design of the new theme area “Holly’s
Cartoon Town”. And the drafts are really something:
a snack booth area as well as a (at least from outside)
very beautifully themed WC-facility in the form
of a workshop can be found here. The main attraction
of the 5,100 square metre sized area is however
the coaster “Holly’s Wilde Autofahrt” (“Holly’s
Wild Drive”), which now closes the more than 30
year gap in the area of family coasters. This classic
Wild Mouse from Maurer Söhne was operated earlier
in England and Scotland. For use at Holiday
Park, the attraction was generally overhauled,
painted by a specialist firm, and the electronics
were worked over by the park. Particularly successful
are the elaborately and newly designed
cars from model and figure constructor Le Van –
and so the ride offers twice as much fun and makes
the illusion of a ride in a car more realistic. And just
as in real life, there are also the most impossible
sections – for example shortly before entering the
final brakes, there is a “radar” area. This not
so very expensive violation ticket can be purchased
by visitors opposite the exit on the
“Hollizeistation”. And in contrast to real
speed traps, the driver is not unrecognizable
on the picture!
Decorations made by the park have been
placed around the attraction, such as petrol
pumps and oil drums – but apart from a few
traffic signs on the upper ride level – there
are unfortunately no theme elements available.
This is particularly regrettable because
there was enough creative potential available
from “Palettis”, in order to design the
construction uniquely. Many good ideas for
individualization can be seen in the drafts, so
that hopefully these will be realized during
the second extension period of “Holly’s Cartoon
Town”.

EXPEDITION GE-FORCE
The undisputed main attraction of the park, the
Intamin mega-coaster “Expedition Ge-Force”,
was rereleased to the public at the beginning of
August.
The reason for the three month downtime was a
fatigue fracture of an axle bolt that the two cars of
the seven-wagon train group lost on the track layout
– resulting in an extremely mild exit.
The train and the relevant track section were generally
overhauled and all axle bolts were renewed,
so that TÜV Süd gave the green light for reactivation.

FRANZ MACK
Franz Mack passed a way at his
residence at Europa-Park on the
3 rd October 2010, at the age of 89
years. He was, together with his
sons Roland and Jür gen, the
driving f orce behind the construction
and success of Germany’s
most flourishing theme
park. IAAPA had already honoured
Franz Mac k in its “Hall of
Fame” in the year 2006. With that
Mack stands – as one of the
“Pioneers of the international
success of theme parks” – on
the same le vel as W alt Disne y.
Above all however, he was known
for his enga gement f or sho w-
men; he had str ong and lasting
friendships with man y in the
branch during his lifetime.
Franz Mack was the fourth son of Heinrich and
Theresia Mack, born on the 7 th March 1921. He completed
his education as master of wagon and vehicle
body construction. After his escape from a French
prisoner of war camp in 1947, he married his Liesel a
year later, with whom he was married until her death in
2004. In 1948, together with his brothers Hermann and
Willi, he took over the paternal wagon construction and
carousel factory in Waldkirch in the Black Forest. The
logo of the firm, a globe together with wagon and the
motto “The wide world is my field” would not only
become the symbol of Mack in general, but very soon
also the slogan for the complete German showman
branch.
The company was founded in 1780 by Paul Mack, and
was initially dedicated to the construction of wagons
and post coaches. After a wagon was built for musical
organ transport in 1880, there began the consistent
further development of wagon construction for showmen
and circus companies. In 1920, Mack began with
Photos:
Archiv Mack, Heiko Schimanzik,

102

the construction of ride constructions for the fairgrounds.
In 1921, the first wooden coaster was completed,
1936 saw the first go-kart construction, 1951
the first Bob made of wood, and 1957 saw the prototype
of the “Wild Mouse”. Further innovations, initially
thought out especially for the transportable sector,
were realized by Franz Mack: for example the first
2-columns bumper cars hall in the world, the “Musik
Express”, the “Münchner Sprungschanze” and the
“Petersburger Schlittenfahrt”.
Thanks to his passion for technology, countless ride
constructions at Europa-Park carry his signature.
Among others, he designed the Dark Coaster “Eurosat”
opened in 1989, as well as the “Euro-Mir” that went
into operation in the year 1997.
On the 12 th July 1975, Franz Mack, together with his
oldest son Roland, opened Europa-Park, which originally
was planned as a showcase for the company’s own
products – the idea coming
about from the many business
trips he had made to the USA.
The idea of a theme park didn’t
really find favour with the
public at that time; it was first
success that brought about
appreciation. In the meantime,
Europa-Park is the most visited
seasonal park worldwide, and
is undisputed market leader in
Germany. Around four million
guests visit the park annually.
The Mack-group of companies
employs more than 3,100 persons (partly seasonal)
according to the company, and has an annual turnover
of some 250 million €. More than 600 million € has
been invested in Europa-Park over the past 35 years,
which includes the four hotels. The park ground area
has grown from 12 to 85 hectares.
In addition to his business activities, Franz Mack was
very much engaged in volunteer work, such as being
on the Standards Committee of the fairground rides of
the TÜV, as well as arbitrator in the Association of the
German Amusement Operators. He was Patron and
Citizen of Honour of the community of Rust, and was
awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of
Germany Class 1. Europa-Park General Manager
Roland Mack: “Our father was a great role model for
all of us until the last days of his life. He had characteristics
such as modesty, diligence, endurance, sincerity,
and emotions, and lived a forthright life. With that,
he has permanently characterized our
family and our business”. Franz Mack
leaves behind his two sons Roland and
Jürgen, who manage the concern
these days, and his five grandchildren
Michael, Thomas, Ann-Kathrin, and
Frederik and Alexia.

This undated picture

sons Roland and Jürgen
There is a statue of Franz
Mack in the middle of the
famous Europa-Park
Franz Mack was always
present at official openings,
when at the same time he held
himself more in the background
in recent years: here for example
(l.r.) from the year 1984 at
the opening of the “Alpenexpress”,
2002 on the opening
day of “Silver Star”, and 2009
at the opening of “blue fire”

„There is not a flower bed that is too valuable to sacrifice,
to build a carousel for children”
(Pope John XXIII)
A fulfilled life has come to an end.
In deep sorrow we bid farewell to our dearest father,
father-in-law, grandfather, brother and uncle.
Franz Mack
Awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany Class 1
Citizen of Honour of the community of Rust
Awarded the Medal of Merit in gold by the city of Waldkirch
Awarded the Lorenz-Werthmann Medal by Caritas
* 07.03.1921 † 03.10.2010
With love and gratitude we bid farewell:
Roland and Marianne Mack
With Michael and Miriam, Thomas and Ann-Kathrin
Jürgen and Mauritia Mack
With Frederik and Alexia
As well as all other relatives
79183 Waldkirch, Heinrich-Mack-Straße 1
In the year 1948, Franz Mack and his brothers took over the paternal wagon construction and carousel factory in
Waldkirch. Under his guidance the business advanced to a worldwide and famous manufacturer of showman
wagons and ride attractions. His biggest success was culminated by the founding of Europa-Park in 1975.
Franz Mack was a „Pioneer of the International Amusement Park Industry” – but his heart beat strongly for all
showmen in particular. He endeavoured always to develop ride constructions and attractions with all his passion,
to meet the one hundred percent needs of showmen.
Right to the last he followed the development of Europa-Park with great interest, and was, due to his wisdom and
life experience, an extremely important adviser. We will miss him very much.
