BELLEVUE 

Text: Ralf Schmitt 

Photo: Europa Park 

The “Bellevue” Ferris 

Wheel is to have a new 

home – albeit only temporarily. 

From November 

27 th to January 9 th , 

the wheel from Oscar 

Bruch Jnr. will be built 

up at Europa-Park in 

Rust. 

This is the realisation of 

the declaration Oscar 

Bruch Jnr. made in his interview 

in the March issue 

of the Kirmes & Park Revue: 

“We plan to concentrate 

on special options, 

such as longer appearances 

of our Ferris 

Wheels as “stand alone” 

attractions at tourist 

venues.” The "Bellevue" 

Ferris Wheel will thus be 

one of the highlights of 

the winter season – already 

introduced at Europa-Park 

some years 

ago – the winter season 

this time will be under the 

motto “Magic Moments”. 

Reasons for the decision 

to engage the “Bellevue” 

Ferris Wheel by the park 

were the closed cabins, 

as well as the lighting factor. 

■ 

Every year, winners of the 

coveted fair prizes are determined, 

and the prizes duly 

awarded at the Tilburg Fair. 

In reaching its decision the jury 

considers, among other criteria, 

the presentation, visitor attendance, 

cost effectiveness, 

music and operation, as well 

as originality and attractiveness. 

The winners at the Tilburg Fair 2010 were 

“Samba Balloon”, D. Ballegooy (Kiddie Rides), 

“Swing Mill”, A. Hofman (Nostalgia), Swing Grill, 

M. Ropers (Gastronomy), “Herrie in der Küche”, 

or “Herrie in the kitchen”, Ad Ordelman (Games), 

and the “Teststrecke”, Steiger Achterbahn 

GmbH and Co. (Large Attractions). The “Audience 

Award”, the winner of which was elected – 

as the title suggests – by public ballot, went to 

SPUK 

Text & Photo: Ton Koppei 

Thomas Meyer for his “Teststrecke” coaster. During 

the official tour of the fairground on Fair 

Thursday, Tilburg’s fairground councillor, Joost 

Müller, visited all the winners at their attractions 

and presented them with their certificates. As an 

interesting “bonus”, the award entitles the prize 

winners to automatically return to the Tilburg Fair 

the following year according to the same contractual 

terms, if they wish to do so. ■ 

SInce the beginning of this season, the 

“Spuk” Ghost Ride from Richard Sipkema 

has provided visitors with a rather clever feature: 

An apparently “dormant” skeleton under the surface 

of the water in a little basin with a fountain 

that suddenly sits up and spits a little jet of water 

towards the visitors. 

The creepy skeleton then moves its head again, 

only to aim a second water jet at the public. Sipkema 

built this effect completely on his own. In 

September, the visitors at the Eisleben Wiesenmarkt 

will be able to enjoy the "Spuk" ghost ride 

with mischievous skeleton feature.

FAHRT INS PARADIES 

KALEIDOSCOPE 

Text & Photos: Michael Petersen 

The Schleifer family successfully 

managed to 

present its “Fahrt ins 

Paradies” punctually for 

the opening of the Düren 

Annakirmes. There was 

one small change however, 

“Eva's Fahrt ins 

Paradies” can be read on 

the front – after the 

daughter of the owner. 

Toni Schleifer dedicated 

the first ride to the deceased 

fairground directors 

Hans Zens and Max 

Röntz, whose names have 

always been and will remain 

intrinsically tied to the 

Annakirmes. After the detailed 

article relating to the 

restoration of this beautiful attraction (May 2010 

issue) – visitors were now able to convince themselves 

of the achievement at the Annakirmes. 

The painstaking work carried out by the whole 

Schleifer family was well worthwhile seeing. The 

successfully renovated ride left many fairground 

visitors and colleagues enthralled, as it brought 

back the good old fairground days in the truest 

sense of the term. The backflash tarpaulins were 

newly purchased, just as were the tarpaulins in 

the centre of the ride where a big illuminated disco 

ball conjures up the desired effect on the 

ride’s 'sky'. The modern advertising for the 

carousel proclaiming “… with electrical lighting 

after dark” inevitably made visitors smile. The 

overall image was perfectly rounded off by the 

owner and the staff clad in matching contemporary 

costumes. 

The “Fahrt ins Paradies” will be presented at only 

a couple of events, with the next venues being 

the Munich Oktoberfest and the autumn fair in 

Euskirchen. For 2011 it has already been approved 

for the historic market in the Bochum 

Jahrhunderthalle.

The construction as the 

“Blitzbahn” 

Touring as “Heisse Räder” 

after having been rebuilt 

After publishing the article 

on the exotic “Alpendancer” 

ride (see K&PR 

July issue) , one of the 

previous owners, the E. & 

E. Reuters firm from 

Geilenkirchen, provided 

some information about 

the ride’s somewhat obscure 

past. 

In the mid 1990s, the 

Reuters firm purchased the ride under the name 

of “Blitzbahn” from showman Degenhard from 

Spaden near Cuxhaven – together with the 

“Fahrt ins Blaue - Heisse Räder” attraction (earlier 

Engelbrecht/Schwerin). As the Blitzbahn 

chaise cars had been destroyed by fire together 

with the floor, the Reuters firm replaced them 

with the complete chaise train and the floor from 

the “Fahrt ins Blaue”. On completion and successful 

TÜV inspection, the construction was 

toured under the name of “Heiße Räder” for two 

seasons. When they were offered a complete set 

of “Sky Rider” gondolas (with the Ihle 

label), the Reuters firm purchased 

them and rebuilt every single gondola. 

As the suspension required for use 

in the former ride was removed, the 

gondolas had much less weight. After 

the centre trailer had been equipped 

with a Mercedes rear axle and an air 

brake system, the Reuter firm toured 

the ride as the “Disco Planet” for another 

two seasons before selling it, as 

it was proving increasingly difficult to 

find personnel, and also due to the 

pending introduction of special TÜV 

inspections. Eventually, in a rather 

round-about way, the ride came into 

the hands of its current owner Mario 

Weiss from Gundersweiler, who now 

tours it as the “Alpendancer”. ■ 

After the change 

to “Sky Rider” gondolas the 

ride is called "Disco Planet"

DISCO STAR 

KALEIDOSCOPE 

Ferdi Gigengacks 

“Disco Star” 

Text: Ton Koppei

It was more than 20 years ago that the last 

Dutch showman operated a large Musik Express. 

This was Jan Stuy from Roermond, 

who presented a Cosmont construction at 

countless fairgrounds in the Netherlands. 

When this attraction was sold, Dutch fairground 

visitors were left with no other choice than occasional 

appearances made by German showmen 

with rides of this kind, as well as several smaller 

constructions mostly of Belgian design. Since 

the beginning of this year however, Ferdi Gigengack 

from Hengelo, who had already owned an 

Alpine Bob and a Ghost Ride, has toured a Musik 

Express throughout Holland. Gigengack had for 

some time been giving some thought to improving 

the “Musik Express”, taking into account the 

limited space on Dutch fairgrounds and affording 

a fast build up and compact ground measurements. 

Together with the Gosetto 

firm from Treviso, Italy, he designed the 

ride into which they integrated 20 already 

purchased gondolas, as well as 

the tracks and arms of an already existing 

construction. While the front length of 

standard constructions like this amount 

to 18 metres, Gigengack’s new attraction 

has a front length of only 16.5 metres. 

Moreover, the roof structure has 

much less weight and is more compact 

than in comparable rides. As a result, 

the ride requires only a centre trailer and 

a much shorter build up and dismantling 

time. The new Musik Express, which is 

called “Disco Star”, is equipped with an LED 

lighting system. The colourful design was made 

by the in-house Gosetto artist, as well the German 

Indusol firm. In its first season, the “Disco 

Star” has already appeared, and will appear at 

Den Haag, Best, Geleen and Weert. ■

Early this year, Danny Schramm from Mainz- 

Kastel purchased the "Disco Fieber” Hopser 

from the Bügler firm from Bad Kreuznach. The 

young showman acquired the necessary experience 

from his parents, who among other attractions 

toured – and indeed still tour – the "Explorer”, 

"Caribbean Star”, "Hot Train” and a 

dodgem track. This season, the construction 

(built by Höpler in 1978) was and will be presented, 

among other venues, at Konstanz, Wittlich, 

Radevormwald, Nassau and Ketsch. ■

MINI RACER 

Première in Tilburg: 

Hinzen’s “Mini Racer”

Ascent, station and 

the cars in detail 

This year’s Tilburg Fair offered a surprise 

from the coaster sector: the first-time appearance 

of the “Mini Racer” – a family coaster 

with particularly striking cars from the Hinzen 

family from Weert. 

Due to a triangular ground area and the station 

being built on a trailer, the coaster is very compact, 

and can be built up with a front width of 

only 23 metres. Hinzen purchased the attraction 

in England – or more precisely, in the coastal 

town of Bridlington. Originally, the coaster was 

built in Italy as the “Crazy Mouse” for the Belgian 

showman Broecks. After the purchase, the at-

traction was completely overhauled and the 

original cars were replaced by very clever vehicle 

replicas in a highly successful design and 

colours. Further logos perfectly enhance the attraction’s 

“Mini” theme. 

The special appeal of the coaster is certainly the 

cars inviting visitors to enjoy a ride. From its première 

fairground in Tilburg (where it arrived at 

the last minute), the coaster was relocated to its 

following venue, the fair in Venray.

MACH 1

KMG-Speed “Mach 1” from 

Nathan and Krystle Hart 

The ride is 

elaborately decorated 

for British standards 

KMG’s latest Speed ride has been opened in the UK 

by proud owners Nathan and Krystle Hart. The ride is 

one of the most decorated versions yet from the Dutch 

manufacturer and carries the name “Mach 1”. 

After travelling to KMG’s premises to collect the ride, 

Harts travelled back to GB to debut the attraction at an 

Asian “Mela” festival in Manchester from July 24 th to 25 th . 

“Mach 1“ replaces a Fabbri Booster, the couple’s first big 

ride, which they acquired in 2005 and have since sold to 

an operator in Cyprus. Unlike the Booster, whose previous 

owners included Anthony Harris, M&D Taylor and 

Danish showman Lars Winter, “Mach 1” is brand new and 

the Harts have taken advantage of the situation by ordering 

many extras. As well as a prominent backflash (the 

first KMG Speed in the UK to boast such a feature), the 

ride also features additional artwork on the bottom shutters 

and “cut-out” figures up the support tower, plus LED 

lighting . Nathan & Krystle have kept the British-built paybox 

from their old Booster, which will be decorated in due 

course. The couple chose KMG in recognition of the 

Speed’s easy assembly, which will serve them well on 

their schedule of fairs in North West England and beyond. 

In addition to the “Mach 1”, they continue to travel a 

Fun House and a couple of small children’s attractions. ■

RUE DE PARIS 

NEW PRODUCTS 

Novelty in Holland: 

“Rue de Paris” from Punt- 

Sloots 

Dominant: the labyrinth 

Text & Photos: Ton Koppei 

The Punt-Sloots family has successfully 

toured various snack and ice cream booths 

throughout the Netherlands for many years. 

They have always built these operations 

themselves, gaining a lot of experience in ride 

manufacturing along the way. 

About a year ago, the idea was born to build a 

larger construction. This time however, it was not 

to be a snack booth but a unique Walk-Through 

construction. A lot of ideas were intensively discussed 

and repeatedly dismissed. However, 

due to fierce competition in Holland, they were 

determined from the very beginning that a 

labyrinth should be the most prominent feature 

of the new construction. At the end of the season 

2009, the theme was decided on: The 

façade was to depict a happy setting with hotels 

and restaurants. It was not long before the preliminary 

title “Crazy Kitchen” was changed to the 

name “Rue de Paris”, as the family eventually decided 

in favour of a façade in the chic flair of 

Paris. Construction began in February and was 

completed after only 4 months, except for the 

painting. When it turned out that it was impossible 

for the chosen artist to finish the construction 

on time, there were 

radical changes in plans, 

and the drafts were then 

prepared for a large print on 

adhesive foil by designer 

Alex Pijl. Although use of 

this foil was not exactly without 

risk due to the relatively 

extensive surface, everything 

worked out well. At the 

attraction’s première at the 

fair in Dordrecht in June, the 

fact that it wasn’t the traditional 

artwork could be discerned 

only if a closer look 

was taken. The “Rue de 

Paris” presents itself in quiet 

colours, with nostalgiclooking 

street lights and a 

spacious balcony on its front, its paybox features 

the appropriate name “Banque de France”, and 

a replica of the Eiffel Tower is not lacking either. 

The compact construction is built on a centre 

trailer, and on the inside, visitors are able to enjoy 

a glass labyrinth on the ground level, various 

effects on the upper level, as well as a number 

of trick fountains in the entrance area. This season 

will appear, among other venues, at Weert, 

as well as at the Oktoberfest in Sittard. So far, the 

attraction has been very well received by visitors 

and organisers alike, and an extension, which 

will be built on a trailer, and placed next to the 

construction is already being planned. This will 

allow for a build up in to two variable dimensions, 

depending on available space at an event. ■ 

The paybox is called 

“Banque de France”

year for the unique historic section. Moreover, 

due to last year’s terrorist attack warnings, and 

as the Oktoberfest has evolved into a truly mega 

event – annually enticing some 6 million (not always 

well-behaved) visitors, who consume between 

6 and 7 million litres of beer – a triple security 

ring will be set up around the fairground. 

This year, 275 showmen, 292 marketers, 95 gastronomic 

operations, 14 large beer tents, and 21 

medium-sized gastronomic operations were approved 

to the regular Wiesn fairground. The 

price for a litre of beer ranges from 8,30 to 8,90 

Euros, an increase of another 20 to 39 Cents on 

2009. While the beer prices hardly upset anybody 

anymore the new smoking ban – which the 

Munich publicans will implement already this 

year, despite having been granted a grace period 

– most likely will, and might well cause trouble 

inside the beer tents. While the Hippodrom 

will provide its guests with its own smoking balcony, 

most other beer tent publicans will make 

do with information panels and trust in the resolute 

authority of their service staff, who are to 

simply deny smoking guests a fresh litre of beer. 

Further trouble inside the beer tents also presents 

itself in the erotic “arena”: in the run-up to 

the Wiesn, the “tz” tabloid published reports in 

June concerning, for example, offers of “Boob- 

Jobs at a discount" – almost obligatory these 

days for the more voluptuous Dirndl décolleté. 

Well then: Cheers, gentlemen! 

Moreover according to a press release, the newly 

introduced iPhone application “Wiesn flirt & 

find” is “the ideal companion for all those searching 

for pretty girls or strapping boys at the Oktoberfest 

in a more playful way”. 

The Novelties 

Nonetheless, there will also be visitors to the 

Wiesn who wish to enjoy the superb rides and 

showman attractions offered again in 2010, including 

three Oktoberfest premières. Even 

though the “joint large-scale investment in a 

world novelty worthy of the anniversary”, thought 

up by Munich showmen two years ago turned 

out to be a flop, a brand new large attraction will 

be presented nonetheless. In a solo attempt, 

Michael Goetzke managed to bring an unprecedented 

novelty attraction to the “extra large 

Wiesn”, namely the “Rocket”, in which “six passengers 

per rocket gondola are taken up to a 

height of 55 metres, where they enjoy the rounds 

on a flight radius of 32 metres at some 60 km/h. 

The special thrill: All of a sudden, the individual 

gondolas somersault on their own axis” (press

release, detailed report about the “Rocket” première 

in Düsseldorf in this issue). The “Rocket” 

will replace the “Freefall” Shot’n Drop construction, 

which was a regular guest at the Wiesn from 

1997 to 2009. Further Wiesn novelties at the anniversary 

Oktoberfest will be two Walkthrough 

constructions. Michael Kollmann will replace his 

“Future World” by the “Alpenrausch”, 

a redesigned rebuilding 

of the former multi-storey 

construction “Traumfabrik” 

promoted with the flamboyant 

promise, “the stag bellows, the 

mountain calls, and the brook 

babbles when, after their perilous 

clambering, the mountain 

tourists are firmly back on terra 

firma at the Theresienwiese”. 

Additionally, Angelo Agtsch 

has also succeeded in being 

approved to the Wiesn with his 

“Amazonas” jungle experience 

course built in 2007. While 

Eugen Distel’s unusual “Lach+ 

Freu-Haus” will appear at the 

Wiesn for the first time with the 

additional “barn”, “The Tower” 

– the 2009 novelty that caused 

such a “media-hype” – found 

no favour with the Wiesn organisers. 

Otherwise, almost all 

the showman operations from 

last year will again be presented; 

a list of the major attractions 

will be given in “Preview” 

section in this issue. 

There will be novelty attractions also in the gastronomic 

sector: After a self-imposed break, the 

Munich family business Vinzenz Murr will appear 

again. Last year, the large butcher company had 

spontaneously waived its Wiesn site, as the application 

for a large gastronomy tent accommodating 

550 people had been rejected. “This does 

not happen very often, but I was quite relaxed 

and not in the least annoyed,” Mrs. Weishäupl 

told the regional newspaper “Süddeutsche 

Zeitung” at that time. In the “Mezgerstub’n”, 

wurst lovers will once again be able to enjoy original 

Munich Weißwürst, “freshly steamed and 

served in a Bavarian ambience with lots of local 

colours” this year. Additionally, visitors to Josef 

Able's “Zum Spanferkel” will be able to enjoy 

“everything made from suckling pig” for the first 

time. There will also be changes in the visual appearance 

of the large brewery beer tents. The 

“Winzerer Fähndl” from the Paulaner brewery 

will, due to glass façades, present a new looking 

beer tent flooded by light. In reminiscence of 

the Wiesn’s history in the period between 1925 

and the Second World War, the “Augustiner” 

brewery will build up a tower modelled on numerous 

historic pictures as the brewery’s emblem 

– for the first time next to the beer tent.

Wiesn organiser during preparations: Gerhard Hickel, Hans 

Spindler, and Andre Listing 

A look at the fairground map reveals the relatively unfavourable 

placing of the three showman novelty ride attractions. The “Alpenrausch” 

will be deployed on the top-end site of the Straße 2 Ost, 

placed somewhat back from the Schaustellerstraße, in a location 

setting behind the chain ride and the Crinoline. In this same location, 

the public had become used to the huge, conspicuously 

large attraction from Renoldi. It remains to be seen if the much 

smaller Walkthrough construction will be particularly effective on 

this site. The organiser may well have wanted to create an Alpine 

area in the direct vicinity of the “Wildstuben” gastronomic operation. 

However, the “Amazonas” and the “Rocket” will be built up 

on the “Familienplatzl” in the next street, which was originally laid 

out as a peaceful corner for Wiesn visitors wanting to escape the 

hustle and bustle but still be able to be part of everything. The 

question is whether placing two spectacular novelty attractions in 

idyllic solitude at the anniversary Wiesn will work out. The “Rock- 

10 YEARS AGO 

The novelty ride attraction at the Millennium Wiesn 2000 

was the “Fighter”. In retrospect however, this ride was 

nothing of importance in Oktoberfest history. Only one year 

later, the ride disappeared from the Wiesn. In 2003, it returned 

for a farewell appearance, only to be shipped overseas, 

never to be seen again.

et” in particular, as a downright thrill attraction 

popular mainly with young people, does not 

necessarily fit into a rest area where parents want 

to change nappies and feed their babies. Wiesn 

visitors walking south along the Schaustellerstraße 

or the Wirtsbudenstraße will encounter an 

unusual skyline. Where the Ferris Wheel used to 

make its rounds in former years, the setting will 

now be formed by the “Olympialooping”, while 

visitors in the Bierzelt-Straße will stagger towards 

the Ferris Wheel. The reason for this relocation 

is clear and is probably a 'one off', regardless of 

how striking the new visual image will be. The 

change of sites was necessary to make way for 

“Eva’s Fahrt ins Paradise”: 

The restored attraction from the 

Schleifer family will make its rounds 

in the anniversary section

The area in the southern section 

of the Theresienwiese will 

be open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 

p.m. from September 17 th to 

October 4 th . For an entrance 

fee of Euro 4.00, visitors will be 

able to enjoy varied attractions, 

such as the “Große Ring” 

with a terrace and a 'panoramic 

deck', where – in memory of 

the horse race in tribute to the 

Royal bridal couple of 1810 – a 

daily horse race will be held. A 

historic beer tent with beer and 

lemonade garden will offer a 

seating capacity for 6,000 people 

and, apart from a historical 

menu, will also offer an anniversary 

beer specially brewed 

by the Munich breweries.

Also built up in the nostalgic 

area: Eckl’s “Calypso”” 

Beppi Bachmaier, publican of the famous Munich 

“Fraunhofer” pub, will provide visitors with 

a cultural programme of literature, cabaret and 

folk music. Fairground enthusiasts will be particularly 

interested in the museum tent, where a 

large exhibit from the Munich City Museum and 

the Munich Showman Foundation will be shown, 

including a caravan from 1905 and a Swing Boat 

with complete decoration from around 1925. 

From there, a connecting passage will lead into 

the bell tent with the “Humoristisch Velodrom”, 

where the public can ride in circles on quaint 

bikes. Apart from a small tent from the Munich 

Puppet Theatre, there will also be two outside areas 

dedicated entirely to the showman industry. 

In addition to traction units and fairground organs, 

visitors will be able to experience and partake 

in the nostalgia offered in these sections. 

The most impressive attraction built up in this 

section will certainly be “Eva’s Fahrt ins Paradies”, 

a Switchback built by the Heyn firm in 

1939, which has recently been restored and put 

back into operation by the showman Toni 

Schleifer. Apart from a Galloper, and as a tribute 

to the colourful time of the economic miracle, 

there will also be the reactivated Calypso from 

the Eckl firm; a construction which has been in 

storage for a long time and had already gathered 

Wiesn experience in the 1960s (under the management 

of Hans Dom). The selection of attractions 

on the historic fairground will be rounded 

off by Steiger’s “Land des Lächelns” (a mirror 

maze) along with the “Dicke 

Berta”, a concession stall, 

where a 30 kg rocket has to be 

pushed up a hill by sheer muscular 

strength. Additionally, a 

rolling barrel forms the entrance 

to the museum tent. In 

addition to the entrance fee for 

the nostalgic area, a symbolic 

fare of Euro 1 is to be paid at 

the ride attractions.

Various special exhibitions in Munich will also recall 

the 200-year history of the Oktoberfest. Up 

until November 19 th , “Vorstadtstenz und Wiesnbraut“, 

or “Suburban Beau and Wiesn Bride” 

from the Monacensia Munich literary archive will 

show Oktoberfest portraits of a literary nature 

covering two centuries. Another exhibition in the 

Beer and Oktoberfest Museum called “Gruß vom 

Oktoberfest – Wiesn Erinnerungen”, or “Greetings 

from the Oktoberfest – Wiesn Memories” will 

also be open until November. The highlight will 

be the exhibition in the Munich City Museum organised 

by Florian Dering, “Das Oktoberfest 

1810 – 2010” – a presentation of the Wiesn history 

on two levels, covering 'Wiesn mania' over 

the period from its very beginnings in the 19 th 

century to the present day. The exhibition comprising 

of elaborate exhibits, drafts, pictures and 

props is completed by a catalogue which is so 

beautifully laid out that the reader almost ignores 

the fact that the showman history is somewhat 

neglected. However, it also reflects the contemporary 

reality at the Oktoberfest where, over the 

years, the Munich firms Angermaier or Loden 

Frey that sell traditional costumes, are faced with 

serious competition from the high-tech creations 

of Funtime, KMG or Gerstlauer.

Oktoberfest poster from 

1960 (Copyright: Stadtarchiv 

München) 

In 1960, the 150 th Oktoberfest 

was celebrated in Munich. 

The ample anniversary programme 

from that time provided, 

among others, the first 

horse race since the war, a 

Wiesn exhibition in the Galeriestraße, 

and a shop window 

competition for Munich shops, 

the latter conjuring up an Oktoberfest 

atmosphere with their 

displays – something which is 

almost natural these days and, 

which no longer requires the incentive 

of a competition. The 

“Blitz” from Großengießer and 

“Willenborg’s Colossal Ferris 

Wheel (24 m high)” were the 

much heralded novelties in the 

press releases of that time. Attractions 

listed from the “showman 

operations/ride” sector 

were: “5 coasters, 7 electro

there was a special exotic among the five Chain Rides for

HAANER KIRMES 

Michael Petersen 

Every year, during the last weekend in September 

(this year September 25 th to 28 th ) a large towncentre 

fair is celebrated in the garden town of 

Haan, located between Wuppertal and Düsseldorf. 

Hundreds of thousands of people look forward 

to this atmospheric family-friendly fair, 

which numbers among the Volksfest events with 

the highest turnover in North-Rhine Westphalia. 

It is an event with traditional roots that is lovingly 

preserved and has lost nothing of its charm. 

The Haan fair, which winds through the town centre, 

has always been extremely successful in contracting 

well chosen novelties. This year, a total of 16 

large attractions and 14 kiddie rides will spread 

through the town centre, presenting non-stop fairground 

fun on an area of some 35,000 m 2 . The novelties 

have cause for 'double rejoicing', while as a 

general rule, they tend to be also approved 

to the event the following year more-or-less 

as a Da Capo, to use a musical metaphor. 

The dodgem tracks on the other hand, are 

changed according to an annual rotation 

schedule. As a result, the “Diamond” 

dodgem track from Hartkopf-Osselmann will 

appear this year. According to yet another 

annual rotation schedule for two large round 

rides, Bonner’s “Breakdance” will occupy its 

well-known site on the Neuer Markt this year. 

Moreover, fairground director Skroblies was 

able to engage two novelties for this year’s 

event. One of them, the Upleger’s “Bayernwippe”, 

a family attraction providing a lot of 

fun, will be built up on the Neuer Markt. The 

most impressive novelty at the Haan fair will 

be deployed on the Kaiserstraße next to the 

town hall; namely the "Booster Maxxx" (Hoefnagels-Denies), 

which will without a doubt 

develop into the landmark of this year's Haan 

fair. Located next to this novelty will be the 

“Piraten-Fluß” water ride (Schneider-Heitmann), 

where visitors will be able to enjoy 

watery ride fun. At the town hall, the Kaiserstraße 

will be crowded with lots of rides with 

the “Phoenix” (Gusowski), “Drop Attack” 

(Petter), “Looping the Loop” (Olnhausen) 

and the “Musik Express” from Krause being 

placed next to each other. Further along, 

Kaiserstraße visitors will also encounter 

Häsler’s “Psychodelic” and Hartmann’s 

“Time Factory”, just as the "Südsee-Wellen" 

(Barth), which will make its rounds on the 

Windhövel as usual. In addition to the aforementioned 

attractions on the Neuer Markt, 

Markmann’s “Octopussy” and the “Wonder 

Wheel” (Bruch-Schneider) – two further successful 

family rides – will come to Haan, and 

after last year’s success, the “Star Trip” (Ernst 

& Agtsch) will also return to Haan. Further 

along in the direction of the Diekerstraße 

there will again be the Wave-Swinger from 

Hanstein and Schütze’s Ghost Ride “Schloss 

Dracula”. All in all, the Haan fair, which will be 

opened at the Ferris Wheel at 2 p.m. on Saturday, 

will once again present a balanced 

mixture of well-known and popular rides, 

Funhouse attractions and superb novelties. 

On Monday morning at 9:30 a.m., an ecumenical 

church service will be held at the 

dodgem track, and in the evening visitors will 

once again be able to enjoy “Oldies but 

Goldies” on the upper Neuer Markt and on 

the Turnstraße, where there will also be popular 

free Punch and Judy shows daily. The fair 

will be closed by a fireworks event on Tuesday 

evening.

PREMIERE 

Première at Düsseldorf: 

Michael Goetzke’s “Rocket” 

Premières of new rides, 

coasters, or other attractions 

during the middle of the season 

in Düsseldorf – that’s absolutely 

tradition here. Let’s 

remember back for example 

to the Inverted-Coaster “Euro 

Star”, the major ride “Evolution” 

or “High Energy” – and 

last year “The Tower”, which 

all made their debut in Düsseldorf. 

In 2010 “the largest 

fair on the Rhine” was the 

showplace of a world première: 

Michael Goetzke from 

Munich presented the “Rocket” 

for the first time – a new 

high flyer with looping effects.

Rocket 

In the past, it was oft the case that a ride presented 

for the first time to the public at Düsseldorf 

made its debut with a certain amount of delay. 

This was not the case with Michael Goetzke’s 

novelty: “Rocket” was ready for operation on 

opening Saturday. The tower construction wasn’t 

really quite on show as far as position is concerned 

at the Rheinwiesen, but this also has a 

44

certain tradition – because naturally novelties 

such as these attractions (that are also reported 

about previously in the local newspapers) are 

automatically stormed by the visitors. The over 

60 metre high tower construction on which the 

Goetzke “Rocket” is based couldn’t be overlooked 

– and at the very latest when the rotating 

structure with its 5 hanging rocket gondolas 

(each accommodating 6 passengers) travelled 

in the direction of the Düsseldorf skies, all heads 

turned upwards. And while normally it’s quite obvious 

to viewers what passengers are feeling 

when observing freefall towers or huge chain 

rides, one had to look a little more closely and a 

little longer in the case of the “Rocket” before realising 

that the rockets rotate on their own axis 

suddenly during the actual ride process: passengers 

stand on their heads occasionally! 

This effect, combined with the imposing height, 

places the ride in the thrill category. A predominant 

part of the ride sequence however is family 

friendly: the view when travelling to the top 

gives passengers a very free ride feeling, and 

the single seats each equipped with a shoulder 

restraint give the feeling of being in the best of 

hands. Then comes the looping effect as a real 

surprising moment. This can occur in both directions, 

towards the inside and outside of the

ride – and at the very latest, in the “hang-time” 

position, passengers in the lofty heights realise 

just where they are. During the ride downwards 

– approximately in the lower third of the tower 

construction – there’s another turn on their own 

axis for the passengers, before reaching the 

landing position. This serves at the same time as 

a demonstration of the somersault effect for 

those viewers who until then had perhaps not really 

perceived it. After the Michael Goetzke firm 

had sold its Huss-“Freefall” (which was toured 

for 12 years) to Australia at the end of the 2009 

Oktoberfest, members of the family very quickly 

agreed that they would remain with the sector

“major ride” when purchasing a new attraction. 

Then came the thought of having one built, with 

the prerequisites of “somersaults at a great 

height”. With this idea, they contacted the Austrian 

firm Funtime that had specialised itself successfully 

in the design and 

construction of high ride attractions. 

The concept for 

the “Rocket” construction 

was developed by the 

Goetzke family and Funtime 

together. At the beginning 

of May this year,, construction 

began at the 

manufacturer’s company 

grounds in Dölsach, Austria. 

Michael Goetzke and 

his son Stefan energetically 

accompanied the building 

steps on site. An already 

available centre load 

was used as the basis for the construction – the 

tower, rotating structure and the gondolas were 

newly completed by Funtime, as well as all the 

technical components. The Kairies firm was responsible 

for the LED lighting technology. The

original theme idea for the ride “Phoenix” had to 

be discarded during the building phase when it 

became obvious that the planned “Phoenix” 

gondolas would not be able to be realized in the 

specified time, after which the Goetzke firm took 

over the suggestion from Funtime of the “Rocket” 

theme. The backflash however was already 

completed at that time – with the “Phoenix” 

theme. After the ride was finished came the test 

phase and the TÜV inspection, after which the 

attraction could be transported to Düsseldorf. 

Funtime personnel were on site in Düsseldorf 

during ride operation, in order to solve any problems 

that could occur, immediately. The owner 

and manufacturer analysed the performance of 

the ride after the first practical test in Düsseldorf 

– and agreed to make a number of changes and 

optimizations that would be realized before the 

Wiesn guest appearance in Munich. As a result, 

the number of revolutions 

of the rotating 

structure will be increased 

by 2 rotations, 

as well as a corresponding 

speed of 

the gondolas, plus a 

number of ride programmes 

will be available 

as well. The platform 

will be “lowered” 

and the stairs will be 

adjusted accordingly. 

The backflash will then 

be installed on the 

lowered platform (removing 

it from the 

flight path), and the 

lighting stands will be 

moved further outwards. 

The operator stand (outside up until this 

point) will be relocated to the centre. These steps 

should result in – apart from the faster passenger 

loading – that the special ride experience will 

take place more “over the heads” of the viewers. 

The whole thing will be a little more transparent, 

and the (faster) ride process – including the thrill 

moments – will be able to be better staged by 

the operator.

ANNIVERSARY 

Milestone anniversary 2010: 

50 years “Olympia Express” 

There were many important 

events that took place in 

1960: The People’s Parliament 

of the former GDR decided 

to establish the “National 

Defence Council”, the 

first French nuclear warhead 

was test-fired in the Sahara, 

the first German drive-in 

cinema was opened in Frankfurt/Main, 

John F. Kennedy 

was elected as the new President 

of the USA, and the 

Winter Olympics were held in 

Squaw Valley. 50 years later, 

the GDR and John F. 

Kennedy have long since 

been relegated to history and 

drive-in cinemas have over 

the years largely disappeared 

from the German 

scene. Also in 1960, the 

showman and ride builder 

Kurt Kalbfleisch designed 

and built a carousel, which 

still makes its rounds even 50 

years later: the "Olympia Express". 

Olympia-Express 

The attraction was built up on a fairground for 

the first time in 1960. In the beginning, Kurt 

Kalbfleisch – who over the years also built rides 

such as the rockets (“Moonraker”), or the unique 

swing-boat “Nessy” (which, by the way, is also 

still on tour) – toured the “Olympic Express” himself. 

The ride, with ground measurements of 18 

x 18 metres and a height of 8 metres, quickly became 

an extremely popular guest on the fairgrounds. 

The Roundabout was not only well received 

by the family public, but also quickly became 

a popular meeting point for young people. 

After several successful years, the Kalbfleisch 

firm parted with the ride and the Fehlauer family 

in Lübeck became the new owners. From then 

on, the public in Northern Germany were able to 

enjoy the “Olympia Express”. When the Fehlauer 

firm wanted to part with the “Olympia Express”

adult” ride. 

In a Park for One Season 

Its first venue under Geibel management was 

the spring market 1978 in Lübeck, where the organiser 

apparently did not (yet) want to do without 

this popular and successful ride, despite the 

change of ownership. In the course of the season, 

the Geibel family presented the “Olympia 

Express” as a novelty on fairgrounds in their 

51

ANNIVERSARY 

The “Olympia Express” 

during the Fehlauer era 

in the 1970s 

The ride under Geibel 

management at a Schützenfest 

in the Harz Uplands in 1978 

home region, including many events in the Harz 

Uplands. The tour schedule 1978 included, for 

example, events in Neuhof, Bad Lauterberg, 

Homberg, Kassel, and Göttingen. The following 

year, the ride made a surprising appearance in 

an amusement park. The park management of 

the Freizeitpark Kirchhorst (near Hannover) successfully 

offered the Geibel family the opportunity 

to build up the “Olympia Express” in the park 

as a family attraction. As a result, the ride was no 

longer presented at Volksfest events in 1979, but 

rather exclusively in the park, where it was 

operated by the Geibel family themselves. Initial 

plans for a long-term engagement at the park 

failed however. 

In 1980, the Freizeitpark Kirchhorst was taken 

The “Olympia Express” 

from Hugo Thelen at the 

Ostermarkt 1995 in Karlsruhe 

52

ANNIVERSARY 

The snowman in the 

centre of the ride – in the 

old days and today 

The baggage van that 

accompanies the carousel 

over by the Bemboom brothers and, among other 

rides, the “Olympia Express” had to make way 

for the ample selection of their own rides. During 

the one-year park engagement, the Geibels had 

lost the fairground venues; after all, competitors 

never rest. But that was 30 years ago; to this day 

Uwe and Doris Geibel still remember that the ride 

was sold to a Wagner (or Wegener) firm in Southern 

Germany about 1980 or 1981. They had even 

supported the new owner during the first build 

up at a Volksfest event in Roth am See in Middle 

Franconia. There is no evidence of how long the 

ride then toured through Franconia. Apparently 

it had, given its condition at the time, been briefly 

put into storage, before being acquired by the 

Thelen showman family from Karlsruhe in 1989, 

which thoroughly renovated the ride and prepared 

it for touring. Today, the 3 rd generation 

showman Hugo Thelen is the owner of the 

“Olympia Express”. 

Together with his wife Marina (née Kaplan) and 

his son Santino, he tours the ride within a 250 km 

radius around their home town of Karlsruhe. 

Every year, the ride is a regular guest on many 

fairgrounds, such as at the Mosbach Markt in the 

spring, or the Pfingstmarkt in Germersheim. During 

the winter breaks, the family invests a lot of 

time and effort in the maintenance and improvement 

of the ride. In 2006 for example, the 20 gondolas 

received a new look in a wooden toboggan 

design; two years later the tunnel was newly 

painted and the name sign was also renewed. 

Despite thorough renovation, the owner always 

attached special importance to preserving the 

ride's nostalgic image. The ride is still powered 

by three shaft drives, the rotational speed of 

which is controlled by a water 

starter. The ride has electrical requirements 

of 50 kW, and a maximum 

capacity of 80 passengers 

per ride. 

This season, the "Olympia Express" 

thus celebrates its 50 th anniversary. 

To mark this occasion, 

the owner Hugo Thelen had a 

striking banner made to call attention 

to this special event. 

Moreover, an anniversary ride 

chip was minted in a limited edition, which will 

be used exclusively this season and has already 

become a highly coveted collector’s item. A relic 

from the ride’s early years is the (now blue) 

snowman sneering from the rotating rim in the 

centre of the ride. While it used to be an adroitly 

moving figure, it has become affected by a 

slight “stiffness from old age” over the years. A 

ride in the Alpine Bob tradition, it is still truly 

speedy, and at many venues in South West Germany 

it is impossible to imagine the annual 

Volksfest, the fair, the 'Mess', the 'Kerb', or the 

'Markt' without the “Olympia Express”. ■

Text & Photos: Helmut Bresler 

Sabine and Nadja Kunstmann celebrated their 

'Berg première' in Erlangen during Pentecost, 

where they presented their wine stall in the middle 

of the fairground course. Through this initiative, 

they took the juice of the grape from its hiding 

place and put it at the centre of their operation. 

The menu provided for different kinds of red and 

white Franconia wines from the Würzburg region 

served in exquisite glasses (0.5 l) and even a wine 

cocktail. Moreover, hungry visitors were offered an 

ample selection of fresh Tarte Flambée, ranging 

from the classic toppings of bacon, onions and 

cheese or tomatoes and mozzarella to salmon and 

leek. On the first Saturday, even “Her Majesty”, the 

Franconia Wine Queen, attended the inauguration 

to wish them a good start and continued success. 

Although the Erlangen Bergkirchweih is known as 

a beer festival, the new attraction was very well received. 

Thanks to extensive press coverage, visitors 

deliberately went to the Berg-Hütt’n to treat themselves 

to the delicacies on offer. The ample and appealingly 

detailed decoration of the attraction was built by the 

Robert Schmäding firm from East Freesia. ■

Norman Vogt 

Andreas Barth presented his 

new beverage attraction, 

“Dom-Schänke” during the 

100 th anniversary of the Speyer 

Brezelfest. 

The name of the attraction has 

nothing to do with the famous 

Hamburg “Dom” Volksfest, but 

quite naturally refers to the Speyer Cathedral, at 

the foot of which three Volksfest events are held 

every year. The “Dom-Schänke” was built by 

Schmäding , and has a front length of 13 metres. 

Visitors are served a generous range of beverages 

of all kinds. According to Andreas Barth, 

the beer garden built up in the rear section can 

accommodate 500 to 800 people.

TRIER VOLKSFEST 

Impressive fairground

The poster of the event 

Trier Volksfest 

impressions 

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt 

Visitors to the Trier Messepark-Volksfest (June 11 th 

to 20 th ) were offered a fairground of the "superlative”. 

As there was no scheduling conflict with other 

fair events, the organisers (Sonnier from Trier 

and M&M Events) were able to choose from an almost 

unlimited number of attractions, and to engage 

many novelty attractions –maybe even too 

many. 

For 10 days, the skyline on the outskirts of the city was 

characterised by giant fairground attractions such as 

“XXL”, “Around the World”, “Booster Maxxx” and “Europa-Rad”. 

They were joined by novelties such as 

Fackler’s “Aprés Ski Party”, the Kiddie Coaster “Willy 

der Wurm”, Eberhardt’s “Airwolf” and a Rafting water 

ride, as well as classic attractions such as Chain Ride 

(Schwarz), “Ghost”, Sonnier’s “Breakdance” Zimmer’s 

“Musik Express”, Kipp’s “Action House”, Filder’s “Monsterhaus”, 

“Schlittenfahrt”, “Looping the Loop”, a slide, 

Wilde Maus, a dodgem track, and a simulator. In other 

words, there was a whole lot of “material” – and while 

this rich gathering of attractions was without a doubt a 

welcome change for the visitors, the proportion of overall 

turnover for the participating showmen decreased 

with every approved attraction. Although there were 

58

certainly a number of 'winners' among the participants 

at the event, an even larger number unfortunately, didn't 

fare too well. Anyway, due to perfect, sunny weather 

the fairground was already very well attended on the 

first opening Sunday. From the parking facilities (2 

Euro) opposite, visitors reached the fairground through 

an underpass. 

The Messepark-Volksfest was thoroughly advertised 

by posters, banners and flyers. In the end, this event 

will certainly be remembered for the excessive number 

of attractions. This requires urgent change. After 

all, this town on the Mosel with its some 100,000 residents 

and an extensive surrounding region, certainly 

presents enormous potential.

BRAUNSCHWEIG 

“Airwolf” in Trier 

Impressions of the 

Braunschweig Frühjahrsmasch 

Text & Photos: Uwe Holzmann 

In early June (4 th to 13 th ) the traditional Frühjahrsmasch 

was held on the Schützenplatz on 

Hamburger Straße. Frank Berweke from the 

Showman Association and the organisers 

from the Braunschweig Schützengesellschaft 

1545 had once again put together 

an appealing and interesting mixture from 

some 60 showman enterprises. 

While the “Katz & Maus” (Klünder), “Turbo 

Force” (Schäfer), “Take Off” (Rüth), “Rocket” 

(Weber), and “Top Spin” (Scheele) provided 

speedy rides and lots of thrills, the family public 

were offered the Wave-Swinger (Blume), 

“Jaguar” (Ahrend), “Breakdancer” (Franzelius), 

and the dodgem track (Vorlop). The Funhouse 

sector was represented by the “House of Horror” 

(Spindler) and the “Happy Family” (Rüth). 

Younger visitors were able to enjoy the, “Sky 

Jumper” (Ahrend/Böttner), “Mini-Express” railway 

(Witthut), and the “Little Fantasy Drive” kiddie 

dodgem track (Wegener). An ample selection 

of games, confectionery, sales, snack and 

drink stalls rounded off the harmonious offering 

at the Frühjahrsmasch. Unfortunately, financial 

results did not live up to the showmen’s expectations. 

Currently, the Schützenplatz is being reconstructed. 

Due to newly built sport halls, the 

southern fairground street has disappeared, and 

it won’t be long before the northern area is transformed 

into a large construction site for the demolition 

of the indoor ice rink, and the building 

of an adventure pool. As the remaining and only 

poorly paved centre section of the Schützenplatz 

fairground is not exactly very appealing, it 

would now be the time for the city authorities to 

comply with the wish of the Braunschweig showmen, 

and offer the citizens an attractive Volksfest 

event on the Harz and Heide area in the city 

centre. This would not only be worthy of the second 

largest city in Lower Saxony, but could also 

be a new incentive and positive signal for the traditional 

Braunschweig Fair.

(Spangenberger) in Laupheim 

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt 

The annual Kiddie and Town Festival (June 24 th to 

28 th ) in Laupheim is organised by the city authorities, 

the city festival committee, and many voluntary 

enthusiasts, and the Gebauer firm was responsible 

for the festival’s amusement area. 

This year, the Kiddie and Town Festival could celebrate 

its proud 125 th anniversary. From the humblest of beginnings, 

the event has evolved into a 5-day highlight 

in the town’s event calendar. The celebrations took 

place in the “most beautiful beer garden in Upper 

Swabia”, in a historic camp in the Hasengrube and on 

a superb fairground occupied by a variety of attractions 

and novelties. During the opening on Thursday 

at 4 p.m. a litre of beer and half a Göckele (chicken) 

were served at a special anniversary price of only Euro 

3.50 each. One day later, a short opening procession 

with more than 60 groups proceeded to the fairground, 

which was followed by the long festival procession with 

more than 300 participants from 100 groups, 45 festival 

wagons, as well as 25 music groups and marching 

bands under the motto “Gesichter der Zeit”, or “Faces 

of the Times”. Moreover, a terrific fireworks display was 

held in the Olympic stadium on Sunday evening. Compared 

to the towering ride attractions “XXL”, “Jupiter”- 

Ferris Wheel, and the Propeller “Extrem”, which took 

the visitors “high up into the skies”, the family coaster 

“Silbermine” from Bügler – another Laupheim novelty 

– placed next to the “XXL” Swing, looked like a toy. 

The available attractions were rounded off by the “Disco-Fieber”, 

“Magic”, “Eclipse”, “Action House”, “U- 

3000 dodgem track and Wave-Swinger. Younger visitors 

were able to enjoy a compressed air ride, pony 

ride, kiddie carousel, mini-dodgem track and a 

bungee-trampoline.

ASCHAFFENBURG 

A LOOK BACK 

Novelties: “Teststrecke” 

and “The Tower” 


Norman Vogt 

Last year, a new team from the organising Aschaffenburg 

city authorities committed themselves 

to looking after the Volksfest and to 

leading it back to the success of the old days. 

They had thought up new ideas, and carried 

out a number of improvements and changes. 

Last year, the 'dead end street' – widely perceived 

as a problem – was changed into a circular 

course; and this time (June 18 th to 28 th ) the 

street was even more appealingly laid out. The 

ride and the concession stalls in this section 

were built up with their rear facing the Main, not 

only to improve the visual appearance but also 

to signal to the public that: “This is not the end, 

there is more to see.” The foremost crowd puller 

in this street was “Projekt 1” from the Boos brothers, 

along with the top act built up diagonally 

opposite, and a chain ride making its rounds in 

the front section. Further along to the left, visitors 

were enticed by Lehmann’s “Geisterschlange” 

or by the “Projekt 1” to the right. Apart from the 

novelty “Teststrecke”, it was possible to engage 

Blume’s “Event-Tower”. 

Another novelty in Aschaffenburg was the 

“Breakdance” from the Becker firm. Further attractions 

presented were “Dschungel Train” 

(Blum), “Revolution” (Kinzler-Nickel), “Fantastical 

Trip” (Kuntze), slide (Göbel), a dodgem track, 

“Gaudi Hüttn” (Barth-Schultze), “Turbo Force” 

(Schäfer), “Piraten Fluss” (Heitmann-Schneider), 

“Samba Tower” (Halbig), and the Ferris 

Wheel (Willenborg). All in all, 79 showman operations 

were approved to the fairground on the 

Main.

Well-attended: 

the Family Day in Lichtenfels 

Püschmann’s 

“Flying Carpet” in Lichtenfels 

Top attraction in Lichtenfels: 

Kaiser’s “Cyber Space” 

Text & Photos: Rolf Orschel 

On the occasion of the 200 th anniversary – since 

the refoundation of the royally privileged 

Schützengesellschaft Lichtenfels – the 

Schützen- and Volksfest (July 9 th to 17 th ) in the 

capital of Upper Franconia offered many highlights 

and attractions for both young and old. 

With Kaiser’s “Cyber Space” the fairground director, 

Dieter Brandmeier, succeeded in engaging a 

striking novelty for Lichtenfels, in addition to wellknown 

and successful operations. After a threeyear 

break, the “Playball” from Clauß was once 

again a popular guest on the Schützenplatz, along 

with the “Breakdance” (Wolf), “Seesturmbahn” 

(Sterzenbach), “Euro-Rutsche” (Kutschenbauer), 

“Bayernwippe” (Krüger), and the dodgem track 

from Perz. A first-time appearance from the show 

and Funhouse sector was Lutz Hofmann’s “Aqua 

Velis” water-fun-labyrinth. Further along the circular 

course “Die verrückte Leiter” was built up – an 

inconspicuous operation that did not exactly live 

up to the fairground’s quality. Children were able 

to enjoy a Jet Ride, the “Orientreise” (Wentzl), “Flying 

Carpet” (Püschmann), “Feuersteins Reise” 

(Distel), pony ride (Heppenheimer), and a 

Bungee-Trampoline. Two Continental Pick Stands, 

a hook-a-duck, three shooting galleries, several 

ball and dart throwing booths, vending machines, 

the “Motodrom” Derby, and various concession 

stalls invited the public to try their luck and marksmanship. 

Moreover, a number of snack, beverage 

and confectionery operations provided the visitors 

with food and drinks. The layout of the Schützenplatz 

left nothing to be desired. The location of the 

“Cyber Space” Propeller was particularly successful. 

Built up on the traditional Ferris Wheel 

site, its speedy ride pattern made a very striking 

impression. The “Aqua Velis” was also appealingly 

built up on the novelty site in the left outer row. 

Among the highlights of the event were colourful 

fireworks displays held every Friday after sundown, 

and the Schützen procession with some 

500 participants making its way through the city 

centre, accompanied by loud gun and cannon 

salute on the first Sunday afternoon. On Monday 

afternoon, disabled children from the region were 

invited by the showmen and the Schützenverein 

to free fun on the fairground, and Tuesday was the 

designated Family Day. Another highlight was the 

children's procession from the local nurseries, 

kindergartens, schools and clubs on Thursday 

afternoon. On the arrival of the procession at the 

fairground, every child received four vouchers for 

a ride, a pretzel and a drink as a way of saying 

thanks for their participation. 

The ten-day Schützen and Volksfest event was 

closed with a farewell party in the city, or to be 

more precise, at the festival hall (located on the 

fairground), and a music programme in the 

Schützen garden.

SCHWEINFURT 

A LOOK BACK 

Text & Photos: Helmut Bresler 

The 101 st Schweinfurt Volksfest 

was characterised by two striking 

“novelties” namely the new 

Mayor Sebastian Remelé, and 

the new beer tent patron 

Michael Hahn. 

The new Mayor, the successor of 

Gudrun Grieser, has gained 

much support among the population 

since his election this spring. He also made a 

very good impression with the showmen and happily 

celebrated “his” Volksfest after the official opening, 

being particularly impressed by the racy “Transformer” 

from Marc Schmidt from Stuttgart. Although 

his wife advised him against a ride, he climbed the 

platform and sat in the gondola with the thrill of anticipation. 

He visibly enjoyed the ride that boasted 

many loopings, and back on terra firma continued 

his stroll across the fairground in high spirits. Well 

done! Michael Hahn was also much complimented 

on his beer tent, decorated in the Frankish colours 

of red and white. After the intermezzo of two Alpinestyle 

beer tents, the local flair was well received and 

enticed the visitors into this novel tent. Other successful 

features were the connected roofed-over outside 

area, the varied music programme, and the culinary 

delicacies that varied from suckling-calf to spitroasted 

ox. Moreover, the “Kraxlbaum”, or “Climbing 

Post” provided a lot of fun – the first free litre of beer 

went to a wiry American who had climbed the sixmetre 

vertical post and sounded the bell 

at the top. The Americans still based in 

Schweinfurt numbered among the loyally 

returning guests at the Volksfest, and 

were joined by many visitors from the adjoining 

districts up to the Rhön and 

Grabfeld regions. 63 showmen presented 

a representative selection of showman 

attractions at the locally and nationally 

renowned Schweinfurt Volksfest. Rides 

presented were, among other attractions, 

the “Wilde Maus (Münch), the dark coaster 

“Black Hole” (Schierenbeck), “Parkour” 

(Aigner), “Flip Fly” (Clauß) and “Hot 

Shot (Dölle). 

The first comedy morning beer event on 

Sunday and the newspaper entry for the 

opening were also very well received. All 

in all, it was a very successful event, both 

in business terms and in a more general 

sense.

The visitors were able to 

enjoy a modern fairground with a large 

beer garden. Despite the unfortunate 

scheduling conflict with the summer 

festival in the neighbouring city of 

Tübingen, it was nonetheless possible 

to engage a number of attractive 

rides and kiddie carousels for Reutlingen, 

such as a Ferris Wheel, “Happy

GERMAN-FRENCH VOLKSFEST BERLIN 

Text: Ralf Schmitt 

Photos: Ralf Schmitt, Heiko Schimanzik 

Heralded as “the largest Berlin Volksfest by far", 

the 48 th German-French Volksfest in Berlin was 

opened on Juny 11 th on the central fairground on 

the Kurt-Schuhmacher-Damm, and closed on 

July 14 th (Bastille Day). The final opening day 

was also the day with the highest visitor attendance. 

Unfortunately, the financial results were quite disappointing 

for many showmen. A local showman 

from the games sector summarised his results as 

no less than “ruinous”. The problem of the location 

of the “central fairground” - which has been known 

for years – may well be considered the main reason 

for the disappointing development of fair events in 

this location.The term “central fairground” is in itself 

pure cynicism. A high wall still blocks the view to 

the fairground, with only a huge poster and a mock 

Ferris Wheel provided by the Showman Association 

drawing the “Volksfest behind it” to the attention of 

those passing by. The gate to the street is not exactly 

inviting either. It is only the magnificent and 

colourful entrance gate from the organiser – the 

Berlin Showman Association – to the very fairground 

that welcomes visitors to the event. Arriving 

by public transport is also difficult, as the “Zentraler 

Festplatz” bus stop is a mere request stop, and it is 

highly recommendable to signal the bus driver in 

good time if wanting to get off the bus there. Once 

visitors had paid the two euro entrance fee to the

One of the main 

attractions was the 

“Bellevue” Ferris Wheel 

Volksfest (which is refunded on the fairground by 4 

printed vouchers of 50 cents each) they were able 

to enter the German-French Volksfest, which definitely 

has what it takes to be a 'Capital City Volksfest', 

given the selection of attractions. The top attractions 

presented this year included a number of 

top-class rides such as the “Bellevue” Ferris Wheel, 

the giant chain ride “Sky-Dance”, the equally imposing 

“Eclipse”, as well as the “Frisbee”, a large 

coaster, a large slide and a Go-Kart track. They 

were joined by the ride and funhouse attractions 

and concession stalls from the Berlin showmen and 

the regular participants. The two largest highlights 

in the gastronomy sector were the highly appealing 

gastronomic arrangement with accompanying 

beer garden from Wollenschlaeger, and the new 

“French Village”. The latter was presented by the 

Berlin Showman Association which, after 30 years, 

had parted with the previous contractual partner 

and its city settings. The – by Berlin standards – 

higher-than-average selection of attractions would 

have deserved a correspondingly higher visitor attendance, 

although the World Cup may well have 

kept many a visitor from attending the fairground. 

In cooperation with an advertising agency, the organiser 

had published and distributed a 40-page 

pocket-size information booklet, which also incorporated 

discount vouchers. Another clever promotional 

benefit was the cooperation with the popular 

baking chain “Le Crobag”, on whose paper 

napkins the “German-French Volksfest” was conspicuously 

advertised, as well as the “Zaster- 

Laster”, or “Lolly Lorry” providing the visitors on the 

fairground with additional supplies of cash. The ample 

supporting programme offered, among other 

items, the artists village, a visit to the “Nur die Liebe 

zählt”, or “Love is all that counts” film caravan, and 

the Family Days on Wednesdays, to name but a few. 

However, the operator of the “Ballon am Kran”, or 

“balloon on the crane” attraction, where visitors 

should have enjoyed a view across the fairground 

from the basket of a hot-air balloon, had already 

upped and left after the opening day. There was 

some irritation relating to the dates of the four fireworks 

displays, which were apparently inadequately 

advertised. Moreover, a number of participants 

had initially rejected the ticket vouchers, so 

the organiser had to step in to find a remedy to pacify 

complaining visitors. The first visitor contact (of 

primary importance) at the fairground pay booth, 

as well as at the attraction payboxes, also requires 

improvement. A “good morning” or “enjoy yourself” 

would not be asking too much – even if these points 

are staffed by security personnel from a contacted 

'outside' company. As the spring festival is no 

longer held on the “central fairground”, the “German-French 

Volksfest” is the only remaining showman 

event on this location. It remains to be seen 

how the event will develop. In any case, the strong 

commitment of the Showman Association cannot 

make up for the unsuccessful location policy, and 

the lack of support from the political decision makers 

in the capital.

METZ (F) 

Several attractions 

at the Foire du Mai 2010 in Metz 


Norman Vogt 

The Foire de Mai (this 

time May 8 th to 30 th ) in 

Metz is one of the largest 

events of its kind in the 

east of France. 

The more than 60,000 m 2 

fairground area, laid out in 

an adventurous but quite 

appealing zigzag course, 

accommodated 150 showman 

operations once 

again. This had the advantage 

that the course provided 

many top-end sites, 

and the public had to pass all the attractions presented 

on the fairground. 

While the KMG rides “Move It 32” and “Xenox”, 

as well as the Walkthrough construction “Pirate 

Show” were novelties this year, the “Le Batoo” 

Rockin Tug ride, which was once again well received, 

had made its debut in Metz last year. The 

Ferris Wheel was conveniently located in the rear 

section, clearly visible from the adjacent autobahn. 

The Mondial-Capriolo “Airmaxx” from Gregory 

Kopp, and the “Katapult” Ejector Seat are 

the two most impressive major rides among the 

regular participants presented in Metz every 

year.

A LOOK BACK 

Läuppi’s ride classic 

“Calypso” 

Text & Photos: Rolf Orschel 

From June 18 th to 20 th the “1 st Music Festival”, 

organised by both the Cantons of Basle-City 

and Basle-Region, was held in the little community 

of Muttenz, a suburb east of Basle. 

The festival was accompanied by a village 

festival, which included a fairground built up 

on the community car park on the Schulstraße. 

Paul Läuppi from Buchs in the Canton of Aargau 

was responsible for the organisation and the layout 

of the fairground. Although the build up of the 

rides and concession stalls in this small area, in 

which there are a lot of trees, required meticulous 

planning, it all ran smoothly due to careful 

planning, perfect scheduling and mutual respect. 

As the fairground offered only small sites, 

a dodgem track could not be built up. As a result, 

the main attractions presented were the 

“Calypso” from Läuppi, the “Maxximum” Propeller 

(Jolliet), and Murer’s Fun House. In addition 

to the “Formel 1-Piste” kiddie ride and a kiddie 

Chain Ride, a balanced selection of appealing 

concession stalls of different kinds provided 

visitors with a potpourri of fairground fun. Moreover, 

the north-west branch of the Swiss Market 

Association, which celebrates its 100 th anniversary 

this year, had organised a large bric-a-brac 

market. 

Let's talk about business: As the music festival 

suffered from the cold spell, which afflicted 

Switzerland with very low temperatures from the 

third weekend in June, not all the participants 

were satisfied with their financial results. Unfortunately, 

visitor attendance on Friday and Saturday 

evenings was low, and due to the cold 

weather nobody spent much money, and visits 

to the beer tents were preferred. Moreover, the 

music and village festival was faced with fierce 

competition for the visitor’s favour from the “Tour 

de Suisse” and the harbour festival, two other 

large events taking place at the same time in the 

neighbouring community of Birsfelden, only four 

kilometres away. 

As the organisation committee of the music festival 

announced a positive review nonetheless, 

the two Basle cantons want to continue to hold 

the event at annually changing venues. ■

WATER PARK 

Water parks function 

well all over the world 

where it’s warm 

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

comprises of a narrow 

coastline running along the complete 

eastern mainland coast of 

south-east Asia. So does one 

really need another water park 

along a 3,400 kilometre coastline? 

Text:

Frank Lanfer 

Polin 

Vinpearl 

Certainly yes, as Vietnam is well known to be a paradise 

for holidaymakers from all over the world, 

but they also need a change – even in the tourist 

stronghold Nha Trang on the South China Sea, 

around 450 kilometres from Saigon, where the Vinpearl 

Water Park is located. It’s a part of a 20 hectare 

sized holiday destination that is open all year round 

called Vinpearl Land, equipped with a shopping 

centre, restaurants, hotels, amphitheatre, and 

aquarium. The only problem here is that this tourist 

facility is located on the island of Hon-Tre (English: 

Bamboo Island), three kilometres away from the 

mainland. But the operator took matters into hand 

without further ado and erected the longest cable 

car over the ocean in the world. And since then, visitors 

travel in the 3,400 metre long and up to 60 metres 

high “Vinpearl Cable Car” to the island. 

72

The Vinpearl Water Park has been in operation since 

2007, and was designed for 15,000 daily guests, 

and also belongs, as does the complete complex, 

to the VinGroup Company from Hanoi. Located between 

a beautiful 450 metre long beach and a huge 

rock mass, the park has an area of approximately 

six hectares and contains 20 slides, the large part 

of which have been supplied by the Turkish firm 

Polin. In addition to the usual thrill-slides, there is 

also a large water playground for the children, as 

well as a nearly 1,000 metre long Lazy River. The 

water park is to be expanded by the 2011 season, 

and a further three new slides from Polin are to be 

installed: the “Family Rafting Ride” for large round 

tubes, the Boomerang-Slide “Family Turbolance” 

and the “Surf Stream” for artificial surfing waves. ■

COASTER 

This Shuttle Loop also 

contains two small Airtime 

hills 

Delays in the construction of a 

coaster are not rare. Normally 

it’s only a few weeks, but in the 

worst cases, months. In the case 

of “Cobra” at Connyland it took 

a number of years. But was the 

waiting worthwhile?

visitor parking area and 

available attractions 

Cobra 

Many smaller family parks think about building an 

attraction with a higher thrill factor sooner or later, 

to attract adolescents in order to be more attractive to a 

wider public target. Connyland is no exception, and already 

four years ago plans were made for the building 

of a coaster. Originally there were thoughts about a Wild 

Mouse or something similar, but very soon it was to become 

something very unusual and spectacular. As the 

park is located in an undeveloped area but still has hardly 

any expansion area, an individual solution had to be 

found. The search for a manufacturer began at home; 

after all, two of the most important coaster constructors 

in the world are located in Switzerland. However, the relatively 

low available budget proved to be a disadvantage 

both at Intamin and Bollinger & Mabillard: the costs 

could not be more than three million Swiss Francs (at 

that time almost two million Euro). Other parks that operated 

much respected coasters from Pax were the reason 

for looking to the Moscow located manufacturer. 

There was no other that could make a similarly attractive 

offer for a Shuttle-Coaster of this size and configuration. 

As a result, the contract was signed in the spring 

of 2006 – and the long period of woe began. Originally 

the new coaster was to open for the 2007 season, but 

as is well known, this didn’t happen. Although the foun- 

74

dations were ready and waiting at the park since February 

2007, the attraction was long in coming. The reason 

for this was extremely shady politics: an investor had 

laid claim to the very coveted Pax-company grounds located 

between the airport and Moscow inner city for a 

housing project – and had barred personnel from their 

property by armed security guards. Vladimir Gnezdilov, 

the President of Pax, won the following intense and strained 

litigation, and was able start production once again 

from September 2007. However, there was still no headway. 

The hoped-for opening for the season 2008 at that 

time didn’t take place again, as is known. Mr Brandenberger, 

Manager of Connyland, travelled to Moscow in 

June 2008, to ascertain the situation on site at the manufacturer’s 

premises. What he saw was the bulldozed 

earlier company grounds. Offices and production 

centres at the time were scattered about at 

various locations. But other aspects made the 

Swiss visitor confident: the station was completed 

and the production of the tracks was in 

progress. The delivery of the rest of the construction 

was estimated to be at the end of October 

2008. At Easter 2009 a large part of the 

tracks were standing, and the decoration around 

the station was completed. The tracks for 

the looping were already on the parking area, 

waiting to be built up. There were further delays 

however as parts for the montage were either 

needed, missing, or had not been delivered. 

And there was no sign of the train or the drive 

system. The “Cobra” appeared to have developed 

into a never ending story, and one could 

ask if the attraction would ever really open. 

However, suddenly there was movement in the 

matter on the part of the stricken, suffering, and 

honourable Pax Design. The missing parts 

were delivered and with the help of several local 

companies, the coaster, together with the theming 

could be completed. In spring 2010, the TÜV arrived for 

the first testing on location. During this time, a few shortfalls 

were noticed but were corrected without any great 

problems. The controls for the electrical monitoring of 

the restraints were already prepared, so only the sensors 

and the cables had to be installed. At the same 

time, the gate at the station exit was equipped with a 

monitor and a closing mechanism. On the 19 th of July 

the time had come: the TÜV gave its approval. 

The delight of the Gasser family, the owners of Connyland, 

was immeasurable, because the construction 

could be opened on the 28 th of July. Although the tension 

could be seen on Roby Gasser’s face on the celebratory 

evening, he couldn’t hide his sense of pleasure 

from the 300 invited guests about his ride. 

The almost reverse return 

point is especially spectacular

Lifting to the tip

mit Christina Surer und 

Christian Kliens 

Already in the early evening, Roby Gasser, his wife 

Cindy and sister Nadja Gasser-Streich, posed for the 

camera teams and photographers for the opening. 

Sponsors present were Christina Surer, racing driver, 

model and moderator, as well as racing driver Christian 

Kliens. The whole event took on a serious note at 10 p.m. 

when the guests gathered in front of the station, and 

Roby Gasser made a short speech about the history of 

the attraction, and thanked all those concerned for their 

help. Shortly after, the song “Thunderstruck” from 

AC/DC rang out from the loudspeakers, and the empty 

train was sent onto the tracks. Accompanied by countless 

pyrotechnical effects it sped on its way, and when 

reaching the return point a huge high fireworks display 

was ignited. The complete staging was of a high quality 

and was an impressive affair – the “christening by fire” 

was a success. Two minutes later, the first fully occupied 

public ride went on the tracks. On the following day, the 

“Cobra” was handed over to the general public at midday. 

The weather gods however were less gracious, and 

it rained regularly and heavily, and the rush on the ride 

was correspondingly low. Added to that is the fact that 

the “Cobra” has a problem with the wet: although the 

motors and the friction drive wheels that push the tracks 

up a little at the reverse point are sheltered, the train eddies 

sprays from the tracks so that the moisture lands 

on the friction drive surface and the friction drive wheels 

could well spin. Until the tracks are dry, the return of the 

train to the station is not ensured. Because Mike Amann 

didn’t have experience with changing weather conditions 

despite over one hundred test rides in general operation, 

the chassis was preheated during the first period 

before daily operation. The wheels were also 

checked each morning for fissures. While this maintenance 

step is possible from under the station, a further 

test requires a head for heights: a technician ascends 

on a work platform to the friction drive wheels on 

the return point, where the prestrain is checked in order 

to ensure that the train is grasped, but also to ensure 

that the wheels don’t wear out early, due to high contact 

pressure. After the ride begins, the train is pushed backwards 

partly out of the station. Then the group of nine 

cars each accommodating two passengers are hooked 

up and transported backwards to the 36 metres high 

starting tower by means of a cable winch. In actual fact, 

Connyland has a height restriction of 14 metres, but an 

exception permit made the building of the ride possible. 

Arriving at the top, the train is released and speeds 

down during a frenzy of flashing cameras into and 

through the station area. This is followed by two Camelbacks 

and a vertical looping, after which the train travels 

upwards upside down to arrive under the reverse 

point. During the process, those in the front row come 

very close to the end of the tracks. At this stage the friction 

drive wheels take a grip and advance the vehicle a 

little further before the drive system is decoupled and 

the course is travelled through backwards. After approximately 

80 seconds total ride time, the train arrives 

back in the station. The course runs only in a straight direction, 

which is why Connyland has labelled the attraction 

as a Linear Coaster. The initially posed question 

is still unanswered: was the waiting worthwhile in the 

end? On the one hand absolutely, as the concept of a 

space saving Shuttle Coaster that is attractive to young 

people and to thrill-orientated target groups, is a very 

good addition for Connyland. Unfortunately there’s another 

side to the matter. With all due respect to the very 

likeable park and the also very likeable personnel who 

invested so much engagement and goodwill in having 

being able to make the “Cobra” go into operation, the 

rough ride quality can’t be beautified. The first drop, and 

on the first Camelback the train distinctly and visually 

fans out, what actually shouldn’t happen on a straight 

course. Moreover, all wheels are actually somewhat too 

tight during the speedy outward run. In short: the ride is 

unfortunately not comfortable… but for a purchase price 

of around only one million Euro, even Russia can’t produce 

miracles! And so it came about that after only a 

76

few days of operation, Connyland closed the coaster 

again: for maintenance work, according to the homepage 

of the park. “The attraction has too much action 

and is more intensive than anticipated by visitors”, according 

to the official Management version. The ride is 

scheduled to be out of operation for ten days during 

which time there are to be changes to the train, and due 

to the deposition welding and grinding, there are also to 

be improvements made to a number of track shortcomings. 

A replacement of individual segments is not anticipated, 

and it remains to be hoped that this never ending 

story with all its setbacks will lead to a happy end. ■

COASTER 

High speed from the 

first to last minute, and huge 

investment elements are a 

feature of this attraction 

Is there really such a thing? One 

of the top attractions of 2010, in 

fact maybe even the novelty of 

the year, is a used construction! 

And the attraction is not presented 

by some grand park either, 

but by an amusement park that 

has not much been in evidence 

until now. Unbelievable! It’s all 

about a genuinely monstrous 

steel roller coaster that is celebrating 

its reincarnation at Walygator 

Parc.

Ten days later Claude was sitting in a plane, made 

a test ride, and seized the opportunity without 

further ado – after all, it wasn’t every day that such 

an attraction was available for a bargain price. “The 

project cost a little over five million Euro – including 

dismantling and build up and transport, while the 

new price for such a construction would have cost 

around 15 million Euro”, explained Claude Le 

Douarin, who had bought a second coaster from 

Japan as well: a Wild Mouse produced in 1996 by 

Mack, which will reopen in 2012 in France as an 

indoor attraction. “Because our visitor numbers 

have increased steadily over the past three years, 

the financing by a financial institute well known to 

us wasn’t a great problem despite the financial 

crisis” according to Douarin. 

Additionally, there were also public support funds; 

the earlier park Big Bang Schtroumpf was erected 

in 1989 in the middle of a recession affecting the 

mining industry, and even these days the structurally 

weak region of Lothringen still has a high 

unemployment rate. In concrete terms, in the case 

of the “Monster”, the multitude of individual foundation 

parts worth around one million Euro were 

financed out of the resources of the European and 

National Structural Fund.

The grandiose first drop 

Werner Freymuth was responsible for transportation, 

and sent the ride around half the globe in 130 

containers. The build up on site was taken over by 

a French firm. The Swiss manufacturer B&M was 

also involved in the relocation, particularly as the 

coaster had stood on uneven grounds in Japan, 

and in France would be re-erected on a flat area. 

The supports as a result had to be recalculated and 

in part adjusted and lengthened. The technical 

approval was issued by Det Norske Veritas (DNV), 

a company similar to the TÜV. 

The given name “Monster” is just as unimaginative 

as “Mammut” or “Colossos”, however in this case 

the term is simple and appropriate: this coaster is 

absolutely monstrous, which, with its six inversions, 

looks for others of its ilk in Europe (only one at the 

Italian park Mirabilandia). Alone the fact that “The 

Monster”, which is structurally identical to the 

“Raptor” that once opened at Cedar Point in Ohio 

in 1994, should make one sit up and take notice, as 

in the Northern American “Coaster Capital”, there’s 

everything there that the coaster heart desires 

except anything small! However, in comparison to 

the US-version, two trains are being used in France. 

Actually this construction was also scheduled for a 

3-train-operation and consequently was equipped 

with block brakes on the open track course. 

Although a third train was included in delivery 

together with the necessary safety mechanisms, 

due to the low visitor prognosis in Japan, there were 

only two trains in use there as well, so the brakes 

were not even installed in France, and the train and 

the mechanics serve as spare parts. The result is a 

huge construction without trimbrakes. That doesn’t 

even happen in coaster-crazy USA. 

Surprising Ride Characteristics 

However, coming back to describing the ride characteristics, 

even eleven years of operation, (almost) 

two years of still-stand, and a location change can’t 

happen without any traces left over. Or can they? 

We take our places in the still uncovered station in 

the very well looked after looking train, and as is 

fitting in an Inverter, are naturally in the front row. 

80

After a short safety check, the ground is pulled from 

under us and the ride begins. A 180° curve leads 

us to the almost never ending chain lift. Classically 

slow, and without any hurry, we climb metre after 

metre. Arriving at the top we have a view over the 

neighbouring industrial area that isn’t perceivable 

at all from the park. 

And already the linear ascent slants come to an 

end. In typical B&M manner a crisp 90°-curve 

follows that drops us directly into an abyss. Shortly 

before a spontaneous impact, a powerful vertical 

looping rips us back into the heights, and turns the 

French world upside down for a short while. An almost 

just as great Revolution figure (similar to a 

Zero-g-Roll) then swings us around with a “body 

gravity” that’s unbelievable! A straight section near 

the ground marks the crossover to the Cobra-Roll, 

which with its two complete inversions simultaneously 

heralds the return way. After a three-quarter 

helix upwards, we pass the intermediate platform 

where the previously mentioned trim brakes are 

missing, and so we speed abruptly into a downhill 

three quarter helix before the first Flatspin (a simple 

Corkscrew) takes away our orientation once again. 

With still enough speed, we dash along a straight 

section that leads into a small but unexpected 

airtime-drop, and crosses over the lift. A second 

Flatspin transports us into the sixth inversion upside 

down, and as the good old last, we are pressed 

hard into the seats during a dual circle, before a 

curve brings us to the final brake before the station. 

An incredible ride that lasts for almost two minutes. 

A beautifully smooth ride that one knows from almost 

all B&M constructions. In this case however, 

simply just remarkable. There are hardly any other 

examples with so many different experience stimuli, 

and that’s the reason that the attraction seems to be 

so youthfully fresh, as though it had just been 

completed. “The Monster” is a powerful yet smooth 

monster! 

One or the other observer will ask without a doubt 

whether Walygator Park had planned to pass over 

the needs of its family visitors with the “Monster”. 

The fact is however that Claude und Didier Le 

Douarin had a very lucky pull with the “Monster”, as 

The intermediate platform 

(actually for emergency exiting)

Claude Le Douarin 

Didier Le Douarin 

the gigantic coaster on an American scale has 

catapulted the park that has been hardly noticed 

by the media during the last few years, to the “must 

visit” list. And although the coaster could only go 

into operation in the second half of the season, the 

brothers are expecting an increase in visitor numbers 

from 90,000 to 550,000 in 2010. 

There are clear targets for the near future for the 

park: “We want to be the number 3 after Disney and 

Astérix” admitted Didier Le Douarin, confident of 

success. “In two years, we want to reach the 

700,000 mark”. The chances for that are not too bad 

either. Something that is definite – through this 

year’s adaptation, the cards have been newly 

shuffled and neighboring parks have landed in a 

tight spot. This new mega-attraction has more than 

annoyed the usually sovereign Gaul, who besides 

the unique Astérix-charm, are aiming at the same 

thrill orientated public. Something that is for sure is 

that through the courage of a middle-sized company, 

a monstrous coaster highlight was brought to 

Europe, to which one must congratulate both the 

operator and also the fans. 

Whether or not the planned new paint job will actually 

be done in the off season cannot be confirmed, 

and has to be questioned as well. On the one hand 

a crisp black-red colour tone is projected instead 

of the pink-white “Hello Kitty” look; on the other 

hand the attraction marks the back park border and 

is hardly visible, so an expensive and elaborate 

paint job shouldn’t be the prior objective. 

Further Attractions In Planning 

“La Kirmes & Park Revue, c’est notre bible” – (“The 

Kirmes & Park Revue is our Bible”) said Didier Le 

Douarin, and also added mischievously “but our 

park is very seldom mentioned”. That can really 

change, as both brothers have retained their showman 

manner: they work vigorously and put their 

thoughts into deed spontaneously. The next step is 

the extension of the kiddie area: to the right and left

of the “Monster” – in the entrance area, there 

are quite a number of kiddie rides that are 

already owned by the family. In 2012, the next 

track attraction is to follow, and the possibility 

of an overnight stay directly at the park is also 

in planning. Visitors only have to wait in vain for 

a complete change from an amusement park 

to a theme park (typical of Six Flags). “In order 

to theme the complete park we need 10 million 

Euro” calculated Didier Le Douarin: “We’d 

rather invest that amount in more ride constructions”- 

“There are no fears with regards to 

used constructions, in fact it’s quite the opposite, 

as this is the only way that we can offer 

visitors something new every year that’s price 

worthy on a humble budget” he explained 

further. In addition to the price naturally, the 

safety factor is very important. This is the 

reason that before any operation of the ride, 

the DNV checks the attraction. One has to be 

agog at what’s coming next!

GRÖNA LUND 

A lot of renovating and redesign 

has been taking place at the Swedish 

theme park over the past 

years. Although an extension 

area has already been planned in 

detail, the park is concentrating 

on the already available area at 

the moment, as the historic 

background continues to be a 

priority. For the upcoming year 

there are two novelties under construction 

for a good 8.6 million 

Euro investment. And they are 

both very special.

The ghost ride “Blå Tåget” (translation: “Blue 

Train”) was closed on the 9 th of August this year. 

The classic ghost attraction that opened in 1935 

happily does not have make way for another ride, 

but is to be elaborately renovated. 

The historic look will be retained and will even be 

reworked as the original, a step that was already 

successfully implemented by the park in the 

entrance area in celebration of its 125 th year 

anniversary. Inside the ride however, there will be a 

lot of changes: a coaster-similar track system will 

be installed by the Italian firm Gosetto, which will 

also enable the cars to slant to the side. From next 

spring, four-seat cars will be in use. A bit of a shame 

about the cult two-seaters, but with the new cars 

the capacity can be increased from 500 to 900 

passengers per hour. The park promises that the 

new effects will continue to have the classic flair – 

but will be a lot more exciting. A praiseworthy 

project! 

Another Surprise 

The Intamin “Insane“ was new last year, and this 

year the sixth coaster of the park opened, a small 

family coaster from Zamperla. And the seventh is 

on its way: Gröna Lund announced this absolutely 

surprising novelty in the middle of August – a wooden 

coaster from the Gravity Group from Ohio known 

for its production of particularly speedy ride features. 

The surprise is perfect particularly because 

of the location of the attraction: directly on the 

ocean! Those who know the park will ask spontaneously 

where is there enough room? The park describes 

the pending building project as one of the 

most complicated ever undertaken – and rightly so. 

It appears almost impossible after the unbelievable 

integration of a coaster from Gerstlauer into the already 

existing structure of the Schwarzkopf “Jetline” 

in 2003. But it will be possible as the “Twister” 

named, 6 million Euro coaster, will snake its way

the city park directly on the Baltic Sea. Two trains

For decades now, the “Marienkäfer” coaster from

despite careful maintenance, the time had 

come to phase out the ride. The area now holds the 

“Kontiki-Boat”, however information boards advise 

visitors of a planned new coaster. Manager Michael 

Mensinger: “We are looking for a construction for 

the family with speedy elements without loopings. 

We are currently negotiating with several manufacturers, 

but we are also interested in a used construction, 

which is the reason that we have been 

travelling internationally over the last few months. 

The decision has not yet been made – we plan however 

to open the 2011 season at Easter with our new 

track attraction.”

Tier- und Freizeitpark Thüle, Alex Korting 

The “Flying Wheels” attraction from Metallbau 

Emmeln is very popular, particularly at the 

smaller family parks. It is a combination of Ferris 

Wheel and viewing platform where on the 13.5 m 

rotating tower construction, 2 

alternatively moving wheels 

each with 3 gondolas, move the 

gondolas up and down by a hoisting 

cable. The wheels in the 

process move as on a Ferris 

Wheel, but however only have a 

diameter of 3.45 m. Each gondola 

accommodates 4 to 6 passengers. 

During loading, the upper 

wheel continues to rotate, so 

that there is no still-stand. The 

maximum ride height is 12 m. 

A particularly lovely example has 

just opened at the north-west 

German Tier- und Freizeitpark 

Thüle, under the name of 

“Storchenturm”. Designer Alex 

Korting has created the tower as 

a factory chimney with a stork 

nest at the top, while the roofs of 

the gondolas are decorated with 

more nests holding stork chicks. 

The ride itself is on the platform of 

an earlier Wave Racer (alternatively 

Jet Ski) and is surrounded 

by water. Heretofore, there were 

2 Wave Racers from Heege at the park. 

Even before the opening of this attraction – and 

somehow very fitting – the Tier- und Freizeitpark 

Thüle has had new park residents since the Pentecost 

weekend. 3 small stork chicks were hatched 

in the stork enclosure – and if that’s not a good omen 

then what is?

GOSETTO 

The world renowned Italian manufacturer of small 

rides, bumper cars, go-kart tracks and fun houses 

has enhanced its product range over the past few 

years with ghost trains. In 2005, the firm created its 

first suspended ghost train. Operated by showman 

Hinzen, this train has 24 seats. Its 6 trains each comprise 

of 2 cars for suspended gondolas that offer 

place for 2 passengers (two adults or one adult and 

two children). The trailer structure with cars is hydraulically 

closed onto two trailers; its 28 metre 3D 

façade in fibreglass with an aluminium frame is 

arranged on another load. In 2009, the company carried 

out innovations to make this ride even bigger 

and more distinguished, thanks to two semi-trailers 

that allow for a 32 metre façade. An external exit was 

also created on the second level which allows passengers 

to “fly” above the spectators. The last innovation 

has done much to increase the ride’s popularity 

in particular. Additionally, its cars have a PLCbased 

anti-collision system. The main control panel 

is equipped with a synoptic diagram of the course in 

order to supervise the car’s movements and provide 

breakdown signals and/or alarms, with an automatic 

return of the cars into the station. (showman 

Freij, Freij Entertainment Group).

Some Park Projects as Well 

Gosetto SRL has also supplied Finland’s Powerpark 

with a new, 4-person rotating vehicle, introducing 

an element of interactivity. Each car is 

equipped with a new interactive element of four 

pistols and a scoreboard display. In this case, even 

the animation was supplied by Gosetto. In 2010 the 

length of the train was doubled. In the new 

attraction only the vehicles can initiate the ride in 

that the passengers have reached a certain number 

of points. Instead of only integrating with the 

characters, the spooked passengers are also a 

target. 

In 2011, the manufacturer will be updating the 

traditional ghost train at Sweden's Gröna Lund 

Park. The 4-passengers cars, thanks to the various 

climbs and drops, will offer an exciting ride 

experience. The cars will even travel through a 

spinning barrel to give passengers a sense of unbalance. 

Next summer, the new Rainbow MagicLand 

located near Italian Capital Rome, will see the 

instalment of an exciting ride with many ascents 

and drops. Designed to take guests into a magic 

world, this attraction will include 4-passenger suspended 

gondolas (two adults and two children) 

that rotate and oscillate.

The rumours that Gardaland will 

receive the new B&M prototype are

is similar to the Intamin “Furious 

Baco” at the Spanish park Port Aventura 

– something new for B&M, and additionally the 

safety restraints will be of a new type. All the same 

there isn’t a launch on “X-Raptor” as is the case of 

the “Furios Baco”, but a classic chain lift. For that 

though, the track difference and the height profile 

will be completely different to the Spanish version 

– there’s talk of up to 30 metres! The trains will 

conquer two inversions on the 750 metre track: a 

Zero-g-Roll and an Inline-Twist. “X-Raptor” will 

have a length of 800 metres as well as a height of 

30 metres.

a reason that the theme and water park has had an

Manager of the Spanish theme park Terra Mítica in 

Benidorm has announced that his park will also be 

marketing the popular and clever Maya. Actually 

this engagement only encompasses the merchandising 

area, but the park is already planning to offer 

kiddie attractions with this theme next year. 

Irrespective of this fact, the winner of the bidder 

battle for the position as park operator has been 

decided in the meantime. The Spanish group 

Parques Reunidos wasn’t to be the one, but instead 

the local water park Aqualandia will take over management 

of the park for an annual amount of 1.8 

mio. €. The contract will initially run for a 10 year 

period, with a simultaneous option for a complete 

takeover for 75 mio. €. 

The 40 hectare sized park erected at a total investment 

amount of 240 mio. € and opened in the year 

2000, expected, according to prognosis (without a 

doubt without any basic groundwork), 4 mio. guests 

annually, however there were to be “only” 1.5 mio. 

annual visitors. Even a posthaste contra deal with 

Paramount Parks – the use of rights and the handing 

over of management – cost an amount of 3.5 

mio. € p.a. between 2001 and 2004, and brought 

along no improvements. At the end of 2004, the 

park had to file for bankruptcy as there were mounting 

liabilities of over 200 million Euro. It was first due 

to the sale of surrounding ground areas that Terra 

Mítica was unencumbered once again. ■

Gerstlauer Rides 

Anew Indoor-Spinning Coaster from Gerstlauer 

Rides has just been completed and gone into 

operation. 

The location of this 255 metres long and almost 12 

metres high ride is in a shopping mall in Kuwait City 

that opened last year, and which also harbours the 

indoor park “Infunity” on its 5,000 square metres 

area. Loading by the way takes place on the third 

level. Principle is the local Tamdeen Entertainment 

Group.

RAINBOW MAGICLAND

Maurer Söhne 

Anew theme park is currently being developed 

in the small city of Valmontone, located 40 kilometres 

from Rome. 

Actually the park should have already opened in 

2009, then 2010, and now it’s been delayed until 

Easter 2011. And the chances are good, 

as one of the first attractions was completed 

at the beginning of July and handed 

over to the customer: a 430 metre long 

Indoor-Spinning-Coaster from Maurer 

Söhne. During the 75 second ride, a 

panorama curve also leads outside the 

60 by 40 m sized hall for a short while. 

Interesting also is the location of the 

station, right in the centre of the ascent: 

so there’s a lift after entry and also a lift 

before exiting. Whether or not the construction 

is available for testing during a 

building site visit that should occur 

during the EAS in Rome is not known until 

now. Further attractions under construction 

are a Launched Coaster from Maurer, 

and a Mine Train and a Junior Coaster 

from Vekoma. A visitor prognosis for 

Rainbow MagicLand has been made as 

– one hears, and wonders (and doubts at 

the same time) 3 million visitors annually. 

Principle is the Italian project developer Alfa3, a 

subsidiary of Alfa Park S.r.l that realized the also 

much delayed theme park Miragica in Molfetta, 

South Italy (with a Launched Coaster from Intamin 

and a Spinning Mouse from Zamperla as main 

attractions).

IAAPA EXPO SHOW 

Frank Lanfer 

Orlando is the undisputed world capital in the 

amusement industry, and not Las Vegas (unless 

“amusement” is otherwise interpreted), and 

definitely not Atlanta. 

A (very) late recognition of the fact has now been 

shown also by the worldwide umbrella organisation 

of the amusement industry, IAAPA. Actually all 

three cities were to host the world’s largest exhibition 

of this type at irregular alternative intervals, but 

in the end the association bent to the pressure from 

members, and has now announced that Orlando 

will host the event solely until the year 2019. Not 

only do the exhibition halls fulfil the requirements 

of exhibitors completely, no, it’s not just that – the 

surroundings are also to their taste – there’s 

nowhere else on the planet where there are so 

many theme parks and amusement rides as in 

Central Florida.
