The showmen will open this year's fairground season in<br />
North-Rhine Westphalia with the Frühjahrssend from 10 th to<br />
18 th March. This spring, the 9-day event will provide for an impressive<br />
skyline.<br />
Fairground Director Rölver was once again able to put together<br />
an appealing fairground from the large number of applications<br />
received, engaging five novelties for Münster in addition to other<br />
well-known and successful attractions. For the first time, Michael<br />
Goetzke’s “Rocket”, the Giant Swing “Konga” from Küchenmeister,<br />
the “Booster Maxxx” (Hoefnagels/Denies), and Michel’s<br />
“Domino” Funhouse will appear on the Hindenburgplatz. Moreover,<br />
Ronny Deinert will celebrate the première of his novelty “Big<br />
Spin” at the Frühjahrssend. Once again also to be presented will<br />
be the cult ride “Disco Jet”, the visual appearance of which has<br />
been enhanced by two new LED-walls on the tunnel wall. A Ferris<br />
Wheel is a must at the Send; the “Europa-Rad” from Kipp will provide<br />
its passengers with a fantastic view . Further fixtures among<br />
the ride attractions at the Send will once again be the two dodgem<br />
tracks from Heitmann and Schneider, Bonner’s large “Breakdance”,<br />
the “Wellenflug” from Barth/Eberhard, and the “Wilde<br />
Maus” from Barth. The funhouse and show booth sector will be<br />
supplemented by Schneider’s “Pirates Adventure”, and according<br />
to the owner Schütze’s Ghost Ride will present some new<br />
creepy figures at Münster. A prominent occupancy with four highlights<br />
and a ride height of more than 45 metres – impressive. For<br />
the first time, there will be no family day, as due to the extended<br />
duration of the event, its importance diminished. As is tradition,<br />
the supporting programme will include the fireworks display on<br />
Friday evening. Additionally there will be a Stadtwerke Day held<br />
on Monday, and morning beer events on the Sundays during the<br />
event. The redesign of the Hindenburgplatz is currently causing<br />
a lot of debate once again, although this is an issue that has already<br />
been discussed for years. We will not join in speculation,<br />
but would rather wait for the outcome of the new round of talks. ■<br />
