KRUMM & SCHIEF BAU<br />
Now featuring a giant rotating<br />
crane: Hartmann’s “Krumm<br />
& Schief Bau”<br />
Text: Ralf Schmitt<br />
Photos: Ralf Schmitt, Heiko Schimanzik<br />
Première at the Hamburg Frühjahrsdom: the<br />
huge decoration crane at Hartmann’s<br />
“Krumm & Schiefbau” now rotates.<br />
<strong>The</strong> swivel range of the 13-metre crane is 90 degrees,<br />
and thus the jib with its load of decorative<br />
elements moves above the visitors' heads. As<br />
this feature was approved by the TÜV, passing<br />
under a suspended load is expressly permitted<br />
in this case. This season, the “funniest construction<br />
site in the world” can be enjoyed at, among<br />
others events, in Wolfsburg, Balingen, Goslar,<br />
Aschaffenburg, Ravensburg, Wenden, Neuss,<br />
Bonn-Pützchen, and Eitorf.<br />

<strong>The</strong> unique “Sky Trip” ride<br />
has changed ownership:<br />
Early this year, Michael<br />
Hartmann took over the<br />
spectacular major ride<br />
from the Deinert family.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ride is the only one of its<br />
kind in Germany. Originally<br />
the ride (built by KMG) had<br />
gone into operation under<br />
the management of H.P.<br />
Maier in Switzerland some<br />
years ago, before it went to<br />
the Boos brothers in Germany<br />
and then on to the<br />
Deinert firm. <strong>The</strong> “Sky Trip”<br />
will now be toured by<br />
Michael Hartmann’s son,<br />
Timo.<br />

KAMIKAZE PIT<br />
KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
Text: Ralf Schmitt<br />
Photos: Huber-Verlag<br />
Pit Lengner – better known as<br />
“Kamikaze-Pit” was one of the bestknown<br />
German Wall of Death riders.<br />
For 35 years he defied gravity in the<br />
“Wall of Death”. <strong>The</strong> biography now<br />
published describes the career of a<br />
true fighter, his ups and downs, his<br />
never giving up, and the thrill of<br />
overcoming limitations again and<br />
again.<br />
His career led from his early love for<br />
internal combustion engines and<br />
every kind of motor sport hobbies to<br />
the fame of an internationally<br />
renowned motorbike Wall of Death<br />
artist. It is quite simply the fascinating<br />
story of “Kamikaze-Pit”. He succeeded<br />
in living out his dream, turning a<br />
hobby into a career, in riding himself<br />
into the people’s hearts as an engineer, a builder<br />
and rider of mini-motorbikes. As an artist and a<br />
world-record holder, he secured his place among<br />
the legends of motor sport. <strong>The</strong> authors, Pit and Esther<br />
Lengner, write about their career and the twists<br />
and turns of their lives in a clever and humorous<br />
way. <strong>The</strong>y tell of funny incidents, and impressively<br />
describe how their love led on to marriage, and how<br />
husband and wife forged an unbeatable team. Information:<br />

NEw FAIRGROUND DIRECTOR IN RECKLINGHAUSEN<br />
Text & Photo: Michael Petersen<br />
Robert Liebich is now the new fairground Director<br />
in Recklinghausen. During this year’s<br />
Palmkirmes, the Kirmes & <strong>Park</strong> Revue interviewed<br />
the new fairground boss.<br />
Did you plan the layout of the Palmkirmes<br />
2012 all on your own?<br />
Robert Liebich: No, not entirely. My very experienced<br />
fair event specialist Dirk Treese supported<br />
me significantly with both ideas and<br />
deeds.<br />
What is your professional background?<br />
After completing my state secondary level<br />
examinations, I did community service as an<br />
alternative to military service at the Herne Marien<br />
hospital, where I worked in administration. In<br />
2008, I began training as an administration secretary<br />
with the Recklinghausen city authorities.<br />
During this time I also worked in the Public Order<br />
Office, where I first had contact with the<br />
Palmkirmes. When Dirk Treesen chose me for his<br />
department after my training and offered me the<br />
post as a fairground director, I felt very happy<br />
and honoured. After all, at the age of 25, I am<br />
now the youngest fairground director in North-<br />
Rhine Westphalia.<br />
Have you always been interested in fair<br />
events?<br />
Oh for sure! Not only did I grow up in Herne<br />
and still live in the city with the largest fair event<br />
in North-Rhine Westphalia, the Cranger Kirmes,<br />
to this day, I have also been enthralled by Volksfest<br />
events outside of Herne. I am truly a fairground<br />
enthusiast!<br />

KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
BARBERDOS<br />
New games booth from the<br />
Barber family: “Barberdos”<br />
Gold rush atmosphere at<br />
the “Barberdos”<br />
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen<br />
<strong>The</strong> Barber family from Bergheim presented<br />
their new games booth “Barberdos” at the<br />
Osterkirmes in their home town.<br />
About a year ago, they decided to introduce a new<br />
games booth to the tour circuit. During a visit to a<br />
fair in the Netherlands they discovered a game<br />
of skill in which whirling, round gold nuggets or<br />
balls, challenge being<br />
caught by participants. As<br />
this game was very popular<br />
with the Dutch public,<br />
the Barbers decided to<br />
bring this amusing game to<br />
Germany. To begin with, a<br />
6-metre-long, fully furnished<br />
trailer was built by the<br />
family themselves. During<br />
the building phase Stefan<br />
and Anja Barber were supported<br />
by their children,<br />
Whitney and Nicklas, as<br />
well as their son-in-law Robby Wagner. While all<br />
the polyester sections were made by the MP Design<br />
firm, the Barbers saw to the decorative elements<br />
themselves. <strong>The</strong>n, the artist known by the<br />
name “Braunes Pferd” realized the design ideas<br />
of the Barber family to their complete satisfaction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> aim of the game is to catch ball-shaped<br />
gold nuggets whirling up from two large kettles<br />
with the help of a net, and to put them into one<br />
of the two baskets provided. <strong>The</strong> more nuggets<br />
that are caught, the larger the prize. But one<br />
thing is absolutely clear, every child partaking in<br />
the game gets a small prize. <strong>The</strong> moulded plastic<br />
façade has been vividly coloured and<br />
equipped with LED lighting and a fog machine.<br />
During its première at the Osterkirmes in<br />
Bergheim, the “Barberdos” turned out to be a<br />
real crowd puller. And what was the reason for<br />
the strange business name “Barberdos”? <strong>The</strong><br />
answer is very simple: the fantasy name is a<br />
combination of the family name and the name of<br />
the island of the Lesser Antilles, well-known as a<br />
holiday paradise.<br />

HOLLYWOOD STAR<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />
<strong>The</strong>re has been another owner changeover<br />
for one of the best-known “Hollywood Star”<br />
examples (first owner: Loeb, Frankfurt). <strong>The</strong><br />
new owners are Marco Spindler and Michael<br />
Böhme from Karlsruhe.<br />
When they learnt that<br />
the last owner Dieter<br />
Weikmann from<br />
Rothenburg ob der<br />
Tauber intended to<br />
sell the attraction last<br />
winter, they duly contacted<br />
him and a contract<br />
was entered into.<br />
<strong>The</strong> history of the ride:<br />
From 1978, the ride<br />
operated by the Loeb family, where it was always<br />
presented in a well maintained condition. When<br />
the Loeb firm parted with the attraction, it passed<br />
through several hands: Müller/Frankfurt, Wegner/Worms,<br />
Schinkel/Crailsheim and the aforementioned<br />
Weikmann firm. Last year, there was<br />
also a short interlude under Finnendahl management.<br />
Now, Baden-Württemberg is the new<br />
home and touring area of this Fähtz classic,<br />
which is 21 metres in diameter and is relocated<br />
on two transport vehicles. In addition, the two<br />
showmen will continue to tour their “Dance Express”<br />
(Marco Spindler, photo above) and their<br />
go-kart track (Michael Böhme).<br />

A new pocket-size market<br />
calendar is available,<br />

It was published by the<br />

Weser-Ems e.V. and the<br />
Arge Volksfestservice in<br />
Osnabrück. It includes the<br />
2012 dates of more than 90<br />
Volksfest events, markets,<br />
and Christmas Markets in<br />
the surrounding region. ■<br />

KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
SEASON START 2012 IN GERMANY: NEWS AND TRENDS<br />
<strong>The</strong> rides are once again<br />
making their rounds – here in<br />
Aachen<br />
<strong>The</strong> showman season 2012 is already<br />
well under way. A number of<br />
rides have already celebrated their<br />
première, some existing attractions<br />
have presented themselves in<br />
new visual glory, first new trends<br />
are beginning to show on the fairgrounds<br />
– and there are some topics<br />
controversially discussed behind<br />
the scenes, such as “staging<br />
Volksfest events on Good Friday” –<br />
to name but one.<br />

Not exactly “beautiful”:<br />
escape route banner at the<br />
Recklinghausen Palmkirmes<br />
In Bremen and Hamburg, the showman spokesmen<br />
voiced this request in public, causing new<br />
discussions on an old subject. In Speyer, where<br />
running the Frühjahrsmess on Good Friday<br />
(without music and announcements over the<br />
microphones) had been more or less condoned<br />
for many years, the fairground was closed on the<br />
church holiday this year. This was indirectly<br />
triggered by the organizers of the Spring Market<br />
in the neighbouring town of Frankenthal applying<br />
for their event, also to be run on Good Friday.<br />
According to the principle of equal treatment,<br />
the Rhineland-Palatinate state authorities in<br />
charge eventually prohibited the staging of both<br />
events in both towns. In Stuttgart, where Easter<br />
was not included in the Spring Festival on the<br />
Wasen-fairground this time, residents already<br />
complained about the allegedly constant noise<br />
long before the opening of the event, resulting in<br />
noise restrictions being announced for the event.<br />
<strong>The</strong> consequences of the tragedy during the<br />
Duisburg “Loveparade” 2010 are still an issue on<br />
many Volksfest fairgrounds. At the Recklinghausen<br />
Palmkirmes for example, a new security<br />
concept provided for huge information flags and<br />
banners being affixed to crossbeams that had to<br />
be put up for the securing of ground anchors and<br />
huge water tanks. Not only in Recklinghausen<br />
did constructions like these mar the image of an<br />
appealing fairground; notwithstanding the obvious<br />
importance of such security aspects.<br />
Changes and Alterations on Attractions<br />
For the new season, many rides, funhouses,<br />
ghost rides and concession stalls presented<br />
themselves with changes and modifications. In<br />
addition to new artwork, changes to LED-lighting<br />
are still the order of the day, just as is the installation<br />
of huge screens. Some examples: <strong>The</strong><br />
paybox and the entrance area of the “Wilde<br />
8
KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
New features at the<br />
“Wilde Maus” (Barth) and at<br />
Kipp’s “Europa-Rad”<br />
Maus” from the Barth family were redesigned by<br />
the MP Design firm. <strong>The</strong> supports and tracks had<br />
already been newly painted last year. Another<br />
new feature is a huge multimedia LED screen,<br />
showing moving texts, light effects, animations<br />
and even short video clips, from the SAZ Media<br />
firm spreading over the entire front. Moreover,<br />
the ride fun in the “Wilde Maus” is now projected<br />
to the outside via a camera. At the Münster<br />
Frühjahrssend, the “Europa-Rad” from the Kipp<br />
family presented itself in a new outfit, with the<br />
supports being painted a deep blue. According<br />
to the owner, the stairs and the middle of the<br />
wheel were equipped with some 15,000 multifunctional<br />
LEDs. <strong>The</strong> previous name sign and<br />
country flags are no longer required as the middle<br />
of the Wheel is now covered by the “Kipp”<br />
name sign, with colours changing at varying<br />
intervals and displaying many symbols.<br />
During the winter break, the Oberhausen<br />
Schütze family redesigned their large ghost ride.<br />
After its last appearance at the Hamburg Winterdom<br />
2011, the ride was transported to the family<br />
premises, where it was completely dismantled.<br />
To that, several polyester sections were replaced<br />
and the ride’s technology was checked<br />
and partly renewed. Following this, the ride was<br />
newly painted by the Elfering firm according to<br />
the family’s ideas and suggestions. This was<br />
largely done with air brushes, and only a couple<br />
of motifs were created with paintbrushes. In addition<br />
to the front, the cars, handrails, the rim and<br />
the edges were newly painted. <strong>The</strong> new paintwork<br />
makes a strong impression with a strong<br />
sense of depth and contrast. All the ghosts and<br />
ghoulish figures were newly painted and decked<br />
out in new clothes. Moreover, the exterior lighting<br />
was overhauled and a new lighting technology<br />
is currently being tried out. However, the<br />
Schütze family won’t part with the classic<br />
coloured light bulbs in the station area; a good<br />
3,000 red, green and yellow light bulbs are still<br />
in stock, and will continue to effectively illuminate<br />
the ride.<br />
Since the beginning of this season, the “Musik<br />
Express 3000” from Erich Spangenberger has<br />
featured redesigned gondolas (outside and inside)<br />
in a clever design. <strong>The</strong> gondola lighting<br />
was also overhauled and replaced by LED lights,<br />
just as was the lighting of the rounding boards.<br />
As previously announced, the “Tropical Trip” Miami<br />
from André Massel Jnr. now features new<br />
and colourful backflash paintings, which were<br />
created in Holland. This way, the “pseudo-VIP”<br />
Daniela Katzenberger may well have been immortalized<br />
on a ride for the first time. <strong>The</strong> clown<br />

ic” from Spangenberger were replaced by new<br />
motifs – being exclusively of the female sex –<br />
also including prominent ladies depicted in a<br />
circus theme. Quite unusual!<br />
Further Changes and Alterations in Brief: Vorlop’s<br />
classic coaster now clearly features the<br />
“Rock’n Roller Coaster” name sign and a new<br />
Massel’s “Tropical Trip”<br />
– now with Katzenberger image<br />
New at<br />
Spangenberger’s “Magic”<br />
colour plan, as well as decoration and lighting.<br />
At the Caterpillar Ride from Steiger/Buchholz,<br />
where music is still played on the turntable, an<br />
oversized vinyl record now turns on the front side<br />
as a matching decoration element. <strong>The</strong> “Diamond”<br />
dodgem track from Hartkopf-Osselmann<br />
now features a bi-coloured rim and a front lighting<br />
array completely equipped with LED lights.<br />
New at the “Hollywood” Funhouse from Renz is<br />
the additional name sign “Spaß-Station”, and the<br />
spiral tube slide newly painted in red and white.<br />
New Trends<br />
Will the “Water-Walkingballs” rush on the German<br />
fairgrounds now be followed by the “Water-<br />
Rolls” wave? At the Frühjahrsmarkt in Frankenthal<br />
it was possible to discover an attraction of<br />
this type. Even though the kids were noticeably<br />
enthralled by these “hamster wheels” made of<br />
air, one could easily ask the question as to<br />
10
KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
New colours and decoration<br />
at the “Diamond” dodgem<br />
track, the “Hollywood”, and the<br />
“Rock’n Roller” coaster<br />
whether this kind of fun is really suitable for fairgrounds,<br />
as visually they have nothing in common<br />
with a showman attraction.<br />
“Bubble Tea” has now also hit the German fairgrounds!<br />
In German pedestrian precincts, outlets<br />
of this type have been springing up like<br />
mushrooms for some time now. In its classic<br />
version, “Bubble Tea” is a beverage based on<br />
sweetened or black tea, which is mixed with milk<br />
and fruit syrup, prepared as a milkshake and<br />
drunk through a straw. As the most important<br />
feature, colourful 'pearls' are added that pop<br />
when you bite on them. For these so-called<br />
“Boba Pops” one can “thank” the modern “molecular<br />
cuisine”! It was possible to find outlets<br />
serving this drink on several fairgrounds this<br />
year, generally with mostly young people queuing<br />
in front of them.<br />
Almost all the spring fair events (especially those<br />
held at or around Easter) suffered from temperatures<br />
far too low for the season. Unfortunately,<br />
this kept many a visitor from visiting the fairgrounds.<br />
■<br />

“Water-Walkingballs”:<br />

SMASHING JUMP<br />
After the Boesveld firm successfully<br />
toured a Jumper<br />
through the Netherlands in<br />
2011, as many as three Dutch<br />
showmen have decided to buy<br />
this ride type for the 2012 season.<br />

At the Spring Fair in the Czech city of Prague, the<br />
Dutch Ordelman family presented its brand new<br />
“Jumper Maxx” for the first time. <strong>The</strong> new attraction<br />
arrived after a relatively short delay, when the Prague<br />
event was half-way through, and went into operation<br />
immediately after its build-up. <strong>The</strong> special feature of<br />
the “Jumper Maxx”, built by the Italian Sartori firm, is<br />
its high-quality steel platform. <strong>The</strong> platform’s height,<br />
which is very low compared to similar attractions, will<br />
certainly prove an advantage, especially when built<br />
up as an attraction accessible all over the Netherlands.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ride’s fourteen arms sport an appealing<br />
and modern LED lighting system. After its successful<br />
première in Prague, the “Jumper Maxx” went on<br />
to its homeland of Holland where it will be presented,<br />
among others venues this season, at the events<br />
in Roermond, Assen, Hoorn and Alkmaar.<br />

“Flying Jump”<br />
(Fabbri) from van de Wiel celebrating<br />
its première in Brielle<br />
v.o.f. from Vlijmen decided in favour of a Fabbri construction<br />
called “Flying Jump”, which celebrated its<br />
première at the fair in Brielle on 27 th March.<br />
<strong>The</strong> third construction for Holland will be delivered<br />
to the showman De Voer by BN Performance Rides.<br />
This manufacturer has now added a modified version<br />
of the successful ride to its product range. Sales<br />
Manager Tamer Guler points out, “Our new “Smashing<br />
Jump” provides more light than ever before. Its<br />
speed has been increased and it features a modern<br />
style in round form. On request, it can be delivered<br />
with a backflash and a complete LED array. <strong>The</strong> first<br />
customer for this new version is the Belgian showman<br />
Fabrice Dotremont, and the fair in Charleroi<br />
(Belgium) in April is being mooted as the première<br />
fairground.<br />
According to BN Performance Rides, the ride has<br />
been equipped according to the latest European<br />
specifications and EN 13814 standards, and can be<br />
supplied with TÜV approval on request. ■<br />

KLEINMESSE LEIPZIG<br />
Text: Rolf Orschel<br />

<strong>The</strong> Leipzig Frühjahrskleinmesse, one of the<br />
largest Volksfest events in Central Germany, will be<br />
held from 27 th April to 20 th May. Unlike their counterpart,<br />
the large Mustermesse events, the Kleinmesse<br />
presentations can look back on a tradition<br />
of more than 500 years.<br />
After the turn of the millennium, the Leipzig Kleinmesse<br />
events suffered severely from decreasing visitor numbers,<br />
as they were barely able to compete with the<br />
large number of new leisure attractions built in the<br />
Leipzig region virtually overnight in almost a frenzy of<br />
realization of new event concepts. Moreover, the fairground<br />
at the Cottaweg was in a deplorable condition,<br />
quite unsuitable for the requirements of a modern fair.<br />
As a result, the number of visitors steadily decreased,<br />
and those coming were often just strolling across the<br />
bumpy fairground and looking about. When in the last<br />
decade, the excellent local and regional reputation of<br />
the Kleinmesse – one of the largest Volksfest events in<br />
Central Germany – steadily deteriorated, the Bündnis<br />
90 environmental political party called for the traditional<br />
Volksfest and the Leipzig Showman Association,<br />
voluntarily organising the event, to be supported by a<br />
modern marketing concept. <strong>The</strong> Leipzig culture<br />
development plan however, did not even mention the<br />
Kleinmesse event back then. On the occasion of the<br />
2006 FIFA World Cup, the Kleinmesse site was completely<br />
redeveloped at a cost of some EUR100,000 so<br />
that it could be used as a car park during the three<br />
matches in Leipzig. For the Kleinmesse held in the<br />
spring six years ago, the site at the Cottaweg was officially<br />
renamed into “Kleinmesseplatz”. On completion<br />
of the redevelopment, one of the most modern and<br />
multifunctional fairgrounds in Saxony was handed over<br />
to the Leipzig Showman Association. For the stylish<br />
takeover of the newly designed fairground with a perfectly<br />
organised and prominently occupied Kleinmesse<br />
event, the Leipzig Showman Association devised<br />
a completely new layout concept and has made<br />
every effort to contract top attractions ever since.<br />
Thanks to their personal commitment, Jürgen Seiferth<br />
and Fred Hofmann, board members of the Leipzig<br />
Showman Association, succeeded both in tremendously<br />
increasing the reputation of the Kleinmesse<br />
events, and in regularly engaging attractive crowd<br />
pullers for Leipzig. <strong>The</strong> events have once again enjoyed<br />
heavy visitor attendance and consistently positive<br />
turnover ever since. For this year’s Spring Kleinmesse,<br />
the Leipzig Showman Association chose 110 attractions<br />
from a total of 372 applications. As there were<br />
more applications from large attractions than could be<br />
approved due to the lack of space, as many as three<br />
operators of major attractions had to be rejected.<br />
Nevertheless, the organiser once again succeeded in<br />
putting together a first class entertainment contingent<br />
appealing to all age groups, with Küchenmeister’s<br />
large swing “Konga” being the main attraction. <strong>The</strong><br />
appealing selection of ride and funhouse attractions<br />
available to the visitors will include the “River Rafting”<br />
water ride (Kriek), the “Daemonium” Ghost Ride<br />
(Blume), the Ferris Wheel (Göbel), the “Schlittenfahrt”<br />
(Böttcher), “Fliegenden Teppich” (Meyer), Wellenflug<br />
(Blume), two dodgem tracks (Hickmann and Hedt), the<br />
“Wilde Maus” (Eberhard & Göbel), the Musik Palast<br />
(Jacob), “Hollywood Star” (Lorenz), “Breakdance”<br />
(Seiferth), “Magic” (Herrmann), and the Walkthrough<br />
constructions “Crazy Outback” (Hofmann-Jehn),<br />
“Crazy Trip” (Sehning-Parniske) and “Villa Kunterbunt”<br />
(Mentel). Moreover, several kiddie rides and a large<br />
number of snack, beverage, and confectionery<br />
booths, and other concession stalls will offer something<br />
for everybody. In addition to the official opening<br />
ceremony, fireworks displays will be held on each of<br />
the four Saturday evenings, Family Days with an<br />
animation programme for children will be held every<br />
Wednesday, a lamp procession, and the highly popular<br />
Ladies Night held every Friday will be the highlights<br />
of the event. Info: www.leipziger-kleinmesse.net. ■<br />

LÜDENSCHEID<br />
Text: Michael Petersen<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bürger-Schützen-Fest in Lüdenscheid will<br />
be celebrated this year from 11 th to 20 th May. A<br />
proper Schützenfest should also include a fair<br />
event, and in Lüdenscheid this is the case; it being<br />
also the largest fair in the Sauerland. <strong>The</strong><br />
ten-day event almost includes a full three “weekends”,<br />
as the church holiday “Ascension Day”<br />
occurs during the opening days.<br />
<strong>The</strong> traditional Schützenfest boasting an ample and<br />
highly varied programme will be held on the Steinert<br />
fairground only from 11 th to 14 th May. For the second<br />
time now, the beer tent will be operated by the<br />
experienced showman Leo Fichna, who celebrated<br />
his successful première as new beer tent patron<br />
to the complete satisfaction of the Schützen and the<br />
guests last year. <strong>The</strong> beer tent has ground measurements<br />
of a proud 40 x 20 metres. Due to the<br />
new site, the overall image of the Steinert fair will remain<br />
unchanged, even though the Schützenfest will<br />
be dismantled when it is over on the Monday<br />
evening. A cheerful programme will be offered<br />
throughout the event, including two fireworks displays<br />
being held on each of the Friday evenings. At<br />
the request of many visitors, the second fireworks<br />
display was rescheduled from the closing day to<br />
Friday. Families can look forward to the traditional<br />
Family Day on Tuesday, when ride fares will be reduced<br />
by half and concession stalls will offer reductions<br />
of about 20 percent. In addition to popular<br />
classic rides, the ride contingent will once again<br />
also offer many novelty attractions. Fairground director<br />
Jürgen Linnepe has put together a highly attractive<br />
fairground. <strong>The</strong> show and funhouse section<br />
will be represented by the “Tal der Könige” (Bügler),<br />
the “Action House” (Kipp), and Burghard‘s “Burg<br />
des Grauens” Ghost Ride. <strong>The</strong> skyline of this year's<br />
Steinert fairground will be formed by the “Booster<br />
Maxxx” from Ordelmann and the “Columbia-Rad”<br />
wheel from Burghard/Kleuser. Among the classic<br />
attractions in Lüdenscheid will be the two dodgem<br />
tracks from Wendler and Alexius, the Musik Express<br />
from Ahrend, and the “Breakdance” from Dreher.<br />
Moreover, Deinert‘s “X-Factor” will swing its passengers<br />
high up into the sky. Further attractions will<br />
be Lütteke‘s “Round Up”, the “Crazy Beach Monster”<br />
(Hoffmann), Schneider‘s “Flipper”, “Super<br />
Tower” from Mölter, the “Twister” from Specht, as<br />
well as the coaster from Hinzen.<br />

MAIDULT REGENSBURG<br />
Text:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Regensburg Maidult 2011 hit a record high. Ideal Dult weather<br />
enticed masses of visitors and brought good financial results to the<br />
participating showmen, who now hope for the success to continue at<br />
this year's Dult (11 th to 28 th May).<br />
<strong>The</strong> cornucopia of attractions on the fairground at the very least will leave<br />
nothing to be desired. This year the ride contingent will include the Ferris<br />
Wheel from Willenborg, Hohmann‘s “Magic”, the “Cyber Space” (Kaiser),<br />
“Wellenflug” (Stranninger), “Wilde Maus” (Münch), “Frisbee” (Goetzke),<br />
“High Energy” (Kaiser), a dodgem track (Lindner), “Geisterschloß” (Kunz),<br />
“Omni” (Kinzler) and the “Pirates Adventure” (Schneider). Younger visitors<br />
will be able to enjoy, among others delights, the pony ride (Schubert), the<br />
“Zauberwelt” (Reil), Jet Ride (Horn), kiddie ride (Blum) and the “Traumschleife”<br />
from Skraja. Moreover, two beer tents, three seafood tents, a<br />
steak house, a beer garden, the Weinstadl, and a café will provide visitors<br />
with food and drink.<br />
As usual, a first-class and wellassorted<br />
commodity market with<br />
some 65 vendors will adjoin the<br />
fairground, also selling such exotic<br />
goods as Mexican cacti. However,<br />
in Regensburg, the commodity<br />
market is not merely looked<br />
upon as an appendage to the fairground<br />
section; according to tradition<br />
it is an essential part of the<br />
largest Volksfest event in the Upper<br />
Palatinate. <strong>The</strong> Regensburg city<br />
authorities have invested a considerable<br />
amount of money into the infrastructure<br />
of the festival area on<br />
the banks of the Europakanal – not<br />
least into the reconstruction of the<br />
two existing permanent toilet facilities,<br />
as well as the building of two<br />
additional public conveniences, to<br />
name just two examples. At 5 p.m. on Friday 11 th May, the traditional costume<br />
parade will set out from the Maximilianstraße to the Dult festival<br />
ground, where the event will be opened by Mayor Weber, accompanied<br />
by a cannon salute at 6:30 p.m. This ceremony will be followed by the<br />
opening fireworks display at 10 p.m.<br />
<strong>The</strong> second fireworks display on Friday 25th May will herald the final Dult<br />
weekend. Wednesdays will be the designated Family Days, and the Seniors'<br />
Days will be held on 14 th and 2 st May.<br />

PREMIÉRE<br />
World première in Aachen:<br />
Köhrmann’s “Artistico”<br />
For many weeks, Nici, Felix, and<br />
Lutz Köhrmann had been<br />
feverishly looking forward to the<br />
7 th April 2012. On the Saturday<br />
before Easter, their new and<br />
spectacular major ride “Artistico”<br />
from the Dutch manufacturer<br />
Mondial, went into operation and<br />
celebrated a successful première<br />
at the Osterbend in<br />
Aachen, in the presence of a<br />
number of guests of honour from<br />
the Aachen City Council and<br />
civic administration, relatives,<br />
colleagues, friends and fair enthusiasts.<br />

Artistico<br />
<strong>The</strong> ride was inaugurated by the Protestant circus<br />
and showman pastor Horst Heinrich, and<br />
after having expressed his gratitude, Nici<br />
Köhrmann opened the “Artistico” for its maiden<br />
run. Not only the guests of honour participating<br />
in the celebratory run, but also the majority of<br />
passengers at the Easter weekend, unanimously<br />
agreed that a ride on the “Artistico” is sensational<br />
and an incomparably speedy experience.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y repeatedly proclaimed it “smashing”, “terrific”,<br />
or just “sheer madness”. It’s particularly the<br />
view outwards and the subsequent “drop into a<br />
bottomless pit” from a height of more than forty<br />
metres without even a point of focus that makes<br />
the ride an experience never conceived of before<br />
and therefore hardly comparable to any other<br />
current swinging experiences.<br />
<strong>The</strong> première elation was preceded by a process<br />
of more than six months building phase, involv-<br />
20
PREMIÉRE<br />
Up into the skies:<br />
“Artistico”<br />
ing a lot of dedication from the whole family. After<br />
the initial planning phase – it was to be the first<br />
large swing with the passengers seated facing<br />
outwards – the first large sections of the construction<br />
were built in August 2011. Lutz and Nici<br />
Köhrmann were repeatedly at the Mondial<br />
premises in Heerenveen to examine the building<br />
progress, and to have the Mondial Managing<br />
Director, Jisk Knijpstra, and the constructor of the<br />
ride, Johannes Groen, explain and demonstrate<br />
the subsequent steps. <strong>The</strong> three required vehicle<br />
units, incorporated into the construction as a<br />
centre piece base, were built at the same time.<br />
<strong>The</strong> large number of polyester, decorative and<br />
backflash elements were also constructed early<br />
on and delivered to the Elfering firm that was in<br />
charge of the giant swing’s artistic design. Nici<br />
Köhrmann herself came up with the idea for the<br />
ride’s name, “Artistico”, and the “World of Artists”<br />
theme and an initial draft, which the Elfering firm<br />
realized in the form of a tapestry of trapeze<br />
artists, jugglers, and circus ring scenes which<br />
dissolve into the two “Artistico” name signs and<br />
form a perfect harmony with the blue, white, and<br />
red colours of the construction. In October 2011,<br />
a 1:20-scale model of the “Artistico”, built mostly<br />
by 11-year-old junior Felix from various materials,<br />
was presented at a model exhibition in<br />
<strong>The</strong> Köhrmann family at<br />
the ride inauguration with pastor<br />
Heinrich. <strong>The</strong> stonemasons<br />
Lea Schweiwe and Arne<br />
Bischoff presented Nici<br />
Köhrmann with the “Artistico”<br />
stone. Bottom right: Anticipation<br />

During the last weeks of the building period, Lutz<br />
Köhrmann repeatedly appeared at the Mondial<br />
factories, and in early March he began the first<br />
build up of the construction on the Mondial<br />
premises. After the successful TÜV inspection,<br />
the great moment had arrived! <strong>The</strong> first test run<br />
was successfully carried out with the “crazy kick<br />
of the outbound experience” causing considerable<br />
enthusiasm among all the test passengers,<br />
the Mondial employees and the Köhrmanns.<br />

After the successful “dress rehearsal” the ride<br />
was transported from Heerenveen to Aachen,<br />
where it was built up on a fairground for the first<br />
time, in the presence of a Mondial employee, for<br />
its première during Easter 2012. As an additional<br />
icing on the cake, the Köhrmann family<br />
documented the individual production phases in<br />
detail on their Facebook page, giving 1,480 fans<br />
a perfect opportunity to get details and engage in<br />
discussion with the Köhrmann family right up until<br />
the première. <strong>The</strong>refore it was no wonder that<br />
some 50 Facebook friends had come from all over<br />
Germany – even from as far away as Flensburg,<br />
Berlin, Lusatia or Southern Germany – to watch<br />
the “Artistico” première live.<strong>The</strong> next venue of the<br />
“Artistico” will be, among others, the Volksfest<br />
events in Ahlen/Westphalia, Wolfsburg, Menden,<br />
Schweinfurt, Hannover, and Rudolstadt. ■<br />

PREMIÉRE<br />
Première in<br />
Recklinghausen: Deinert’s<br />
“Big Spin”<br />
With Deinert’s “Big Spin” a<br />
new ride for Germany went<br />
into operation at the<br />
Palmkirmes in Recklinghausen.<br />
It took a very long<br />
time for this ride with a<br />
bouncing ride pattern and<br />
rotating gondolas, which is<br />
highly successful in other<br />
countries, to find its way to<br />
Germany.<br />

Big Spin<br />
Three years ago, while searching for a new<br />
ride, the Deinert family visited fair events in<br />
Ireland where, virtually besieged by visitors,<br />
the Fabbri construction “Spiderman” from<br />
Douglas Taylor attracted their attention. <strong>The</strong><br />
Deinert Family contacted the owners, the Taylor<br />
family, to let them know that they would like<br />
to purchase the ride. At this point in time however,<br />
the “Spiderman” was certainly not for<br />
sale. As it appeared out of the question for the<br />
Deinert Family to purchase a brand new construction<br />
at that time, they purchased the major<br />
ride “Sky Trip” From the Boos brothers as a<br />
stopgap. When the showman families Deinert<br />
and Taylor came into contact again last summer,<br />
the Taylors expressed their willingness to<br />
sell the “Spiderman”, and last August, the<br />
Deinert family finally purchased<br />
the ride. <strong>The</strong> construction<br />
was shipped by sea<br />
from Ireland to Rotterdam and<br />
onto the Unna premises of the<br />
Deinert family by rail. In addition<br />
to the visual change desired<br />
by the Deinert family, the<br />
construction had to be adapted<br />
to German technical<br />
standards, which was overseen<br />
by the TÜV Süd.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most striking changes: a<br />
new, larger paybox- operator<br />
control stand was ordered<br />
from Fabbri, and the entrance<br />
area expanded. Moreover,<br />
Hansi Grass built a new backflash.<br />
<strong>The</strong> construction was<br />
26
PREMIERE<br />

each<br />
Ronny and Jessica Deinert<br />
with their children<br />
completely dismantled and rewired by the<br />
Dröge firm, also carrying out all other electronic<br />
changes. This was followed by the installation<br />
of a new LED lighting system. Finally, the<br />
ride was renamed “Big Spin”. <strong>The</strong> Dutch BB<br />
Dekorateurs firm expertly realized the ideas of<br />
the Deinert family regarding the ride's new<br />
colour scheme. At its première in Recklinghausen,<br />
the attraction was not yet presented in<br />
its final glory. <strong>The</strong> frosted Plexiglas panes for<br />
example, are still to be replaced by printed or<br />
coated Alucopond elements. During the first<br />
two opening days of the Palmkirmes the ride sequence<br />
of the “Big Span” was far from ideal.<br />
Even though problems that occurred unexpectedly<br />
were immediately remedied, they<br />
somewhat marred the première. When the ride<br />
sequence had been optimized on Monday,<br />
passengers were provided with a completely<br />
different ride experience, and the “Big Spin”<br />
lived up to its reputation of being a varied and<br />
appealing fun machine.<br />

World première<br />

“XLR8”<br />
At the Easter Fair in Drachten<br />

While KMG launched mainly major rides,<br />
such as “Speed”, “XXL” and “Mission<br />
Space” during the last few years, the “XLR8” is<br />
an addition to the manufacturer’s product range<br />
of smaller rides – and at a relatively low sales<br />
price. <strong>The</strong> “XLR8” requires only one transport<br />
vehicle and can be built up and dismantled within<br />
a couple of hours without a crane. <strong>The</strong> 8 gondolas,<br />
in a design similar to the KMG constructions<br />
“XXL” and “Freak Out”, accommodate a total<br />
of 16 passengers. A special feature of this ride<br />
28
PREMIERE<br />
Gondola details<br />
and passengers thrilled by<br />
speed<br />
is both its speedy acceleration and its quick deceleration;<br />
within only half a rotation, the ride<br />
reaches maximum speed, subjecting passengers<br />
to a g-force of up to 4 g. Only passengers<br />
from a minimum height of 1.22 metres are admitted.<br />
Eight small motors operated by frequency controllers<br />
provide for speedy acceleration and a<br />
very high motor torque. This technology enables<br />
a considerably faster acceleration than a single<br />
large motor.<br />
A true novelty is the built-in power-saving system,<br />
which allows for the energy produced by<br />
braking to be stored and made available for acceleration.<br />
<strong>The</strong> kind of LED lighting used can be<br />
compared with a video screen. Every single LED<br />
can be separately controlled leading to an incredibly<br />
varied presentation of the ride's lighting<br />
array. <strong>The</strong> ride was very well received by the<br />
public at its première in Drachten, with its unusual<br />
acceleration effect being highly popular,<br />
particularly with young people. Further venues<br />
of Otten’s “XLR8” this season will be, among<br />
others, Rotterdam, Deventer, Tilburg, Eindhoven<br />
and Oss.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong><br />
After the three-week appearance at the<br />
Dippemess in Frankfurt “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” owner,<br />
Andreas Zinnecker, gave his first review: “<strong>The</strong><br />
ride was very well received by the public and<br />
went into operation without any problems. We<br />
are highly satisfied”! Apparently, the passengers<br />
were just as satisfied, as many of them –<br />
both male and female – made repeat rides.<br />
Last year the Andreas Zinnecker family decided<br />
to introduce a new ride – in addition to the “Bayern-Breaker”<br />
Huss Breakdance they have been<br />
touring since 2002. Initially all they knew for certain<br />
was that they wanted to purchase a brand<br />
new ride, which would at the same time be a<br />
novelty on German fairgrounds. At the beginning<br />
they looked about in several directions until, during<br />
a visit to a fairground in the French city of<br />
Lyon one day in late August 2011, they discovered<br />
a ride which attracted their attention, not only<br />
due to its ride movements but also the heavy visitor<br />
attendance it was evidently enjoying. It was<br />
a “Loop Fighter” ride from manufacturer Technical<br />
<strong>Park</strong>. Andreas Zinnecker and his son Manuel<br />
meticulously examined the ride and also talked<br />
to the French owner and showman colleague. As<br />
their thorough inspection revealed, above all, the<br />
excellent workmanship of the construction, they<br />
contacted the manufacturer Technical <strong>Park</strong><br />
some weeks later and signalled their interest in<br />
acquiring a “Loop Fighter”. <strong>The</strong>y travelled to Italy<br />
and, as chance would have it, a “Loop Fighter”<br />

Scenes of the<br />
build up of “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” at the<br />
Frankfurt Dippemess<br />
example called “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” had just been<br />
delivered to an Italian showman and was celebrating<br />
its première close by at a festival near<br />
Verona. <strong>The</strong>y met the Italian owner of “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>”<br />
– and had the opportunity to stay there for two<br />
days and to extensively busy themselves with<br />
the ride. Andreas and Manuel Zinnecker repeatedly<br />
tried out the ride – and Manuel was<br />
even allowed to carry out a number of test runs<br />
at the ride’s control stand. Finally, the Zinneckers<br />
decided to purchase a “Loop Fighter” and to<br />
call it “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>”. Andreas Zinnecker: “When we<br />
strolled across the Italian fairground after sundown<br />
and found ‘<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>’ being well attended<br />
and prominently standing out from strong competition,<br />
thanks not least to its magnificent lighting,<br />
I thought to myself: It is really the king on this<br />
fairground.” <strong>The</strong> Zinneckers then asked the Ital-<br />

PREMIERE<br />
“<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>”<br />
Backflash and paybox were<br />
built by Fritz Bügler<br />
ian colleague whether he would mind if they also<br />
called their future ride “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” in Germany,<br />
and the Italian agreed.<br />
Next, they went to Technical <strong>Park</strong> and after negotiations,<br />
signed the purchase contract for a<br />
“Loop Fighter”. January 2012 was agreed upon<br />
as delivery date, which was duly met by the manufacturer.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ride was built according to the<br />

<strong>The</strong> clever lighting<br />
is very impressive even<br />
in daylight<br />
TÜV Süd/Munich standards as well as the Zinneckers'<br />
special wishes (who were temporarily<br />
on site during the building period), such as larger<br />
gondola side railings, reinforced construction,<br />
general adaptation to German standards, installation<br />
of the latest hydraulic bar restraints and<br />
rotational flow brakes, carbon seats, as well as<br />
the installation of a side exit with a light tunnel.<br />

PREMIERE<br />
“<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>”:<br />
details, action, and the<br />
ride at night<br />
vided by the Light & Co firm<br />
with Cuoghi Verneto and his<br />
team. While the ride was manufactured<br />
in Italy, the backflash<br />
and the paybox were built by<br />
Fritz Bügler, showman and ride<br />
manufacturer, in Germany. Incidentally,<br />
the predominating<br />
colour of “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” is “royal<br />
blue” with a mother-of-pearl<br />
effect, which the Zinneckers<br />
realised themselves along with<br />
the artist. A new sound system<br />
was ordered at, and installed<br />
by, the Uhlenbrock firm.<br />
Now everything was ready for<br />
the première in Frankfurt – and<br />
all fans and other interested<br />
people were able to get information<br />
about the current state<br />

According to Andreas Zinnecker, the only<br />
“bad news” was the “con applications” organisers<br />
received for a structurally identical ride<br />
from a German showman who was, however, not<br />
known to the manufacturer Technical <strong>Park</strong>, and<br />
had never ordered a ride like this. After its successful<br />
première in Frankfurt, “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>”, which is<br />
operated by Andreas Zinnecker together with his<br />
wife Claudia, will be further presented at the<br />
Maidult in Passau. Further venues this season<br />
will be, among others, Bayreuth, Bad Wimpfen,<br />
Pforzheim, Waldkraiburg, Erbach, Gernsheim,<br />
Dachau, Vilshofen, Erding, Fürth Michaeliskirchweih,<br />
Dingolfing Kirta and Gelnhausen – as well<br />
as several events towards the end of the season,<br />
the contracts for which were still pending at the<br />

CHRISTIAN MARTINI<br />
KPR: Mr. Martini, Technical <strong>Park</strong> has<br />
ranked among the world’s leading manufacturers<br />
for many years now. Since when has the<br />
company existed and what does its product<br />
range look like?<br />
Christian Martini: We have been constructing<br />
and producing ride constructions for more than 30<br />
years. Our selection of attractions ranges from<br />
classic kiddie rides, Ferris Wheels, coasters and<br />
family rides to thrill rides, which are presented at<br />
Volksfest events and theme and amusement parks<br />
all over the world, and enjoy great popularity.<br />
KPR: Currently, one of your most successful<br />
rides is the “Loop Fighter”, isn't it?<br />
Christian Martini: Yes, you are right! Indeed, the<br />
“Loop Fighter” is developing into a true sales hit –<br />
fortunately with no end in sight. <strong>The</strong> idea to build a<br />
looping ride like this not only came from me, but also<br />
from my brother, Fabio, as well as from Andrea<br />
Zerbinati. Given that every size of swing ride has<br />
conquered almost every country and park, we wanted<br />
to use the basic construction to build a looping<br />
construction. Our target was a thrill ride with a looping<br />
effect. As it was to stand as a stark contrast to<br />
our “Street Fighter” swing, a different kind of gondola<br />
group with seat benches additionally rotating<br />
was mounted to the arm. It took us only 6 months to<br />
develop the ride.<br />
KPR: When exactly did you start and who<br />
received the first example?<br />
Christian Martini: <strong>The</strong> drafts and plans were<br />
made in 2009. It quickly became clear that the first<br />
ride was to be delivered to the Spanish showman<br />
family Banuls, who chose the name “Inverter”. <strong>The</strong><br />
première took place at the Feria in Chiclana de la<br />
Fronterra. Even at that time we were sure that it would<br />
not be just a flash in the pan, as the attraction was<br />
very well attended.<br />
Did you attend the première?<br />
Naturally! A representative of our company is<br />
present at all the premières of our new deliveries.<br />
We owe this to our customers.<br />
How many “Loop Fighter” constructions<br />
have already been built?<br />
Since the prototype was delivered to Spain, we<br />
have built one of these looping rides per month. “<strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>King</strong>” from Mr. Zinnecker is the 20t h example built in<br />
our factory at Melara. We are very proud that Andreas<br />
Zinnecker has placed his confidence in us<br />
and that this attraction is now also presented in Germany.<br />
16 of the 20 rides built so far went to Europe<br />
and 4 to America.<br />
What about the cooperation with the TÜV<br />
Süd and its inspection of “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” from Andreas<br />
Zinnecker?<br />
We can look back on a very successful<br />
cooperation with the TÜV in Munich that has<br />
spanned more than 20 years. When it became<br />
known that a German showman was interested in<br />
this construction, TÜV employees came to visit us.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y undertook a thorough inspection, checked<br />
and calculated – and finally certified the construction.<br />
A particularly prominent feature of the<br />
“<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” is its innovative lighting. Where<br />
does it come from?<br />
As far as lighting is concerned, we have been<br />
successfully working together with the Light & Co<br />
firm, based only a couple of kilometres from our<br />
company. “<strong>The</strong> <strong>King</strong>” was equipped with the latest<br />
LED-technology developed by Light & Co. 16<br />
light programmes provide countless colour variations.<br />
What are current and future projects at Technical<br />
<strong>Park</strong>?<br />
Currently, the first “Loop Fighter” example is<br />
being built for England. Additionally, special attention<br />
is being given to the new “Wild Spark” construction,<br />
which is to meet the current demand for<br />
rides with jumping movements. Apart from this,<br />
there are a lot of ideas we would like to realize in<br />
the near future.<br />

“Rocket” in Braunschweig<br />
“Magic” (Hainlein) and<br />
Blume’s “Wellenflug”<br />
This year, the spring Volksfest in Braunschweig<br />
was once again held under its traditional<br />
name “Frühjahrsmesse” on the<br />
Schützenplatz on the Hamburger Straße from<br />
16 th March to 1 st April 2012.<br />
After the Braunschweig fairs had been reduced<br />
from four to two events every year in 2007 to increase<br />
the attractiveness of the Volksfest programme,<br />
three Volksfest events are to be held in<br />
the Lion City again this year: the spring fair opening<br />
three weeks before Easter, the “Braunschweig<br />
Masch” together with the Schützenfest<br />
of the Braunschweig Schützengesellschaft from<br />
1545 in the first week in June – also a traditional<br />
Volksfest date for many decades – and<br />
naturally the Oktobermess in autumn. Thus the<br />
word-creation “Frühjahrsmasch” will be a thing<br />
of the past for now. For the spring fair, organisers<br />
Frank Berweke from the Braunschweig<br />
Showman Association Harz, and Heide and<br />
Gaby Golz from the Schützengesellschaft, in<br />
charge of the some 25,000 m 2 area, succeeded<br />
in engaging an appealing mixture of modern<br />
showman operations. In addition to the regular<br />
participants always forming a solid base – the<br />
dodgem track (P. Vorlop), “Jaguar-Express” (K.<br />
Ahrend), “Breakdance” (C. Franzelius), “Fantasialand”<br />
compressed air ride (F. Berweke),<br />
and the “Kindertraum” kiddie ride (K.H. Slawik)<br />
– a large number of appealing major rides,round<br />
rides, and funhouse attractions were built up for<br />
the visitors. Other attractions presented were the<br />
“Top Spin” (Scheele), “Rocket” (Weber) “Magic”<br />
(Hainlein), “Flipper” (Schneider), “High Explosive”<br />
(Vorlop), “Wellenflug” (Blume), “Aqua<br />
Velis” (Hofmann), the Ghost Ride (Hahnemann),<br />
“Top Drive No. 1” kiddie track ride (Ahrend), and<br />
the bungee-trampoline from Böttner. <strong>The</strong> Ferris<br />
Wheel from the Kleußer firm provided visitors<br />
with a beautiful view over the fairground. A<br />
balanced mixture of snack and beverage<br />
booths, as well as a varied selection of operations<br />
from the sweets, shooting, games, and lottery<br />
sector is a must for the spring fair. In the end,<br />
the showmen’s results unfortunately fell far short<br />
of the expectations, despite good turnover<br />
achieved on the first weekend. <strong>The</strong> Schützenplatz<br />
located quite far to the north of the city centre,<br />
is apparently no longer attractive enough to<br />
entice sufficient visitors. It would certainly be an<br />
interesting attempt to hold the Braunschweig<br />
spring and autumn fairs on the perfectly prepared<br />
“Harz and Heide” exhibition area on<br />
Eisenbütteler Straße near the city, to give new impetus<br />
to the events, and attract additional visitor<br />
groups. For years, the Showman Association has<br />
been trying (unfortunately in vain) to attain this<br />
area, but special noise prevention demands<br />
from some of the few residents living in the direct<br />
vicinity cannot be realized at present. With the<br />
Masch together with the connected Schützen<br />
and Volksfest in June on the Schützenplatz located<br />
to the north, and the spring and autumn fairs<br />
on the Harz and Heide area on the southern<br />
edge of the city centre, Braunschweig could offer<br />
visitors very attractive and interesting Volksfest<br />
and Messe events – let’s hope that this plan<br />
will come through one day.<br />

EISENACH<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Rolf Orschel<br />
As the Eisenach Sommergewinn<br />
traditionally opens its<br />
gates three weeks before<br />
Easter, the spring festival was<br />
celebrated from 17 th to 25 th<br />
March this year.<br />
Well worth mentioning is the fact<br />
that the upward trend noticeable<br />
last year continued at this year’s<br />
event in the Wartburg city. <strong>The</strong><br />
beautiful spring weather brought<br />
a picture-book start to the event.<br />
While the Eisenach Sommergewinnzunft<br />
is in charge of the<br />
festival procession (with subsequent<br />
dispute between Mrs.<br />
Sunna and Mr. Winter) as well as other supporting<br />
programmes, the Eisenach Sommergewinn<br />
Development Association is responsible for the<br />
occupation and layout of the Spicke fairground as<br />
well as the fairgrounds on the market square and<br />
on Katharinenstraße. This year, the Spicke fairground<br />
on Adam-Opel-Straße in particular surprised<br />
visitors with an attractive entertainment contingent<br />
and occupation without any gaps. This<br />
year's main attraction, the “Eclipse”, the first propeller<br />
ride ever in Eisenach, was virtually besieged<br />
by the younger generation on peak days. New for<br />
Eisenach were also the Waltzer ride from Walz, Langenberg’s<br />
double storey horse carousel “Venezianisches<br />
Pferdekarussell”, and the nostalgic Ferris<br />
Wheel from Sperlich. With Klünder’s “Big Splash”<br />
visitors were able to enjoy a water ride. Other attractions<br />
presented were the “Magic” from Müller-<br />
Volklandt, Schard‘s “Planet Star” dodgem track, the<br />
“Breakdance” from Grünberg, the “Swing Time”<br />
Schunkler (Glüsing & Fuchs), the Simulator from<br />
Schieck, and the Walkthrough constructions “Fun<br />
Street” (L. Hofmann) and “Crazy Outback” (Hofmann-Jehn).<br />
Younger visitors were able to enjoy the<br />
“Snow Convoi” (Volklandt), the pony ride (Glaß), the<br />
“Safari Jet” (Walz), and a horse carousel (Härtel).<br />
<strong>The</strong> market square was mainly occupied by local<br />
showmen as there is no parking space for baggage<br />
vans and caravans. This time, the “Super Star” from<br />
Rostalski, <strong>The</strong> “Maxximum Speed” dodgem track,<br />
the kiddie railway, and the kiddie ride from<br />
Schmökel were placed in this location. As the<br />
Katharinenstraße can be used as a fairground only<br />
on the first opening weekend, it accommodated only<br />
smaller ride attractions, which could be quickly dismantled,<br />
such as the “Tornado” mini coaster from<br />
Nachtigall, Steffen's chain ride, Jehn’s Miami “Tropical<br />
Trip”, the butterfly ride from Magerstedt, and a<br />
kiddie ride. Moreover, Continental pick stands,<br />
shooting galleries, games stalls, snack, sweets and<br />
drink booths were built up on the fairgrounds. On<br />
Friday evening, the Sommergewinn was officially<br />
opened with a torchlight procession to the Spicke<br />
fairground, and the tapping of the keg. <strong>The</strong> Family<br />
Day with reduced prices held on Wednesday was<br />
very well frequented this time. Additionally a fireworks<br />
display was held on the Spicke fairground at<br />
about 9 p.m. on the second opening Saturday.<br />
Due to the sunny spring weather – apart from continuous<br />
rain on the first opening Sunday – a noticeably<br />
larger number of visitors rushed to the individual<br />
fairgrounds throughout the event, bringing most<br />
of the participants good financial results on the<br />
peak days.<br />

Fun at the dodgem<br />
track and on the “Intoxx”<br />
<strong>The</strong> first spring festival on the Bergstraße, which<br />
began on 2 nd March, was closed with a fireworks<br />
display on 11 th March. As is tradition, the event<br />
was closed on Wednesday and Thursday.<br />
In the run-up to the festival, print media repeatedly<br />
reported about the “Göckelesmaier” firm appearing<br />
in Schriesheim for the last time. <strong>The</strong> company eventually<br />
confirmed that after 29 years, this year’s<br />
Mathaisemarkt was the last. As reasons for this<br />
decision, the tent operator gave among others low<br />
number of visitors to the tent. Moreover, the company<br />
wants to concentrate more on the preparation<br />
of their subsequent appearance at the Stuttgart<br />
Spring Festival in the future. It has not yet been decided<br />
which attraction will fill the site of the tent –<br />
there have already been enquiries from prospective<br />
successors. New for Schriesheim were the<br />
“Lach+Freu-Haus” from Distel and the “Intoxx” from<br />
Pandel, built up next to the “Mäuse-Spektakel” from<br />
Landwermann. Blum’s “Shake” and the “Wellenflug”<br />
from Nickel were also presented once again. While<br />
the “Royal Bavarian Wheel” and the “Bellevue” Ferris<br />
Wheels had lifted visitors up into the skies over<br />
the last few years, the decision was in favour of Göbel’s<br />
“Jupiter-Rad” this year. In addition to the “Montgolfiere”,<br />
the “Number One” dodgem track, and various<br />
kiddie rides, there were also numerous snack<br />
and sweet booths. At the end of 433rd Mathaisemarkt,<br />
the Mayor Hansjörg Höfer gave a positive review<br />
of visitor numbers and financial results. ■<br />

As usual, the festive opening of the Send (this<br />
time from 10 th to 18 th March) took place in front<br />
of the castle. It was the last event on the “Hindenburgplatz”,<br />
as the Münster City Council<br />
has decided to rename the square. It is now<br />
officially called “Schlossplatz”, an appropriate<br />
name for the area.<br />
Additionally, the possible redesign of the square<br />
has been discussed for weeks. <strong>The</strong> obvious<br />
question whether Send events could be held<br />
there after a redesign has not yet been answered,<br />
this delicate topic was not mentioned at all<br />
at the opening. This year, the hospital clowns –<br />
men voluntarily working as clowns to bring joy to<br />
the children in the city’s hospitals – were present<br />
at the opening ceremony of the Send. <strong>The</strong> Münster<br />
Showman Association generously supported<br />
their activities with 500 Euro, as well as<br />
contributions for an organ.<br />
Fairground director Rölver had to cope with two<br />
cancellations: Deinert’s “Big Spin” was not<br />
completed in time and according<br />
to the owner, Goetzke’s<br />
“Rocket” had a technical problem.<br />
Wegener’s “Beach<br />
Jumper” could be engaged to<br />
replace the “Big Span” and<br />
celebrated a successful première<br />
at the event. <strong>The</strong> fairground<br />
offered a variety of attractions,<br />
some of which had<br />
been relocated to present visitors<br />
a new overall image. An additional cross row<br />
in front of the “Wilde Maus” further enhanced the<br />
layout of the fairground. Let's talk about business:<br />
According to the organizer’s estimates,<br />
some 450,000 visitors rushed to the Hindenburgplatz,<br />
most of them spending their money<br />
freely, bringing the participating showmen highly<br />
satisfying financial results. Beautiful weather<br />
resulted in heavy visitor attendance on the weekends.<br />
<strong>The</strong> fireworks display on Friday was very<br />
well frequented this year, and turned out to be<br />
the strongest turnover day for many participants.<br />
Business on the weekdays was rather slow<br />
though. <strong>The</strong> event had to do without a Family Day<br />
for the first time. <strong>The</strong> basic question is whether<br />
or not it makes sense to hold a Family Day outside<br />
the school holidays these days. After all, today’s<br />
children and adolescents have hardly any<br />
free time left in the afternoons during the week. As<br />
a result, the Münster organizers are already considering<br />
different special events on weekdays.<br />
Moreover, there are considerations in Münster to<br />
extend the autumn Send event from 5 to 9 days,<br />
as is the case of the spring Send.<br />
■<br />
This year’s Spring Market<br />
on the Fürth Freiheit held<br />
from 17 th to 25 th March was<br />
larger and more attractive,<br />
thanks to the successful<br />
concept providing for additional<br />
space, and so a higher<br />
number of participants<br />
could be approved for the<br />
opening of the season than<br />
last year.<br />
Nevertheless it still remained<br />
the proven combination of<br />
fish market, spring festival,<br />
and market merchants. <strong>The</strong><br />
ride attraction sector was<br />
represented by a dodgem<br />
track (Perz), the “Let’s Dance”<br />
Miami (Eschenbacher), Ferris<br />
Wheel (Drliczek), and Wellenflug<br />
(Drelischek). <strong>The</strong> highlights<br />
in the supporting programme<br />
were the large laser<br />
show, Zinnecker’s Punch and<br />
Judy Show, the Artists-Fire<br />
Show, and the large veteran<br />
car and tractor meeting for<br />
the finale. <strong>The</strong> poster advertising<br />
within a 100 km region was<br />
very efficient, and enticed a<br />
large number of visitors. Most<br />
participants unanimously<br />
praised the special mixture of<br />
the spring market, which is<br />
now an indispensable fixture<br />
in the Fürth calendar of<br />
events. Plans for novelties in<br />
2013 are already underway,<br />
when an artist’s market is to be<br />
incorporated into the event to<br />
attract even more visitors to<br />
the Fürth Freiheit. ■<br />

<strong>The</strong> Spring Festival in the metropolis in Lower<br />
Franconia, traditionally the first large Volksfest<br />
of the year in Bavaria, has undergone an impressive<br />
image change in the last few years.<br />
While previously hardly noticed by the public and<br />
without real attraction, it is lovingly called the “little<br />
sister” of the large Kiliani-Volksfest in June these<br />
days. <strong>The</strong>re are three success factors perfectly<br />
complementing each other that pulled off this feat:<br />
beer tent patron Michael Hahn with the Würzburg<br />
Hofbräu and a hospitable tent, showman<br />
spokesman Heiner Distel with his good contacts,<br />
and – indispensable – Alexander Hoffmann as the<br />
organizer from the Würzburg city authorities. It's a<br />
fact that without his commitment, it would be almost<br />
impossible for the two other partners to initiate and<br />
also realize any further developments. From 17 th<br />
March to 1 st April, more<br />
than 50 showmen appeared<br />
on the Talavera,<br />
such as among others<br />
the “XXL” swing (Denies-Kipp),<br />
Daemonium<br />
(Blume), Breakdance<br />
(Kinzler), Magic House<br />
(Kutschenbauer), and<br />
the Ferris Wheel (Willenborg).<br />
<strong>The</strong> ample programme<br />
offered in the<br />
beer tent included the<br />
Charivari-Almauftrieb<br />
and special guest Mickie Krause, the Schafkopf<br />
tournament (simplified type of skat), and a boxing<br />
fight. Moreover classic brass bands played in the<br />
midst of the audience (without an amplifier) in the<br />
afternoons, and nationally renowned bands performed<br />
in the evenings. “Visitor numbers are increasing<br />
and I think there is further potential,”<br />
Michael Hahn said on closing day. Noticeable was<br />
the fact that the waiters carried almost as many<br />
plates as 1-litre beer mugs throughout the tent. For<br />
the first time in the history of the spring festival, there<br />
was not enough parking spaces available on the<br />
weekends. “We would never have dared to dream<br />
that demand might exceed supply,” says Alexander<br />
Hoffmann.<br />
A look forward: <strong>The</strong> traditional event in July will focus<br />
on gastronomy. Both the product choice and<br />
quality will be increased. <strong>The</strong> Stadlwirt, who caused<br />
a furore in the last few years, will not be present any<br />
longer – not the construction, or the operator, but the<br />
idea will live on though. New will be the “Zum Hüttenwirt”,<br />
a gastronomic operation with a top floor. According<br />
to plans not yet fully completed, it will be<br />
operated by a renowned local publican. Beverages<br />
will be delivered by Oliver Höhn from the neighbouring<br />
town of Kitzingen, and the Würzburg Hofbräu.<br />
For Höhn, director of the OH Veranstaltungsservice<br />
GmbH, this will be the way up into the first<br />
league of beer tent operators. Up until now he has<br />
earned his spurs at minor events, where he always<br />
did a good job. At present he is a beer tent patron<br />
at, among other venues, in Scheinfeld, Pappenheim,<br />
and Gunzenhausen – as successor of Sony-<br />
Boy Papert at the latter. <strong>The</strong> Kiliani attractions will include<br />
among others, the Rocket (Goetzke), Flip-Fly<br />
(Clauß), Geisterschloß (Kunz), Manitu water ride<br />
(Heitmann), Wilde Maus (Kinzler), Magic<br />
(Hohmann), a boxing booth (Lemoine-Heinen), and<br />
the blue Ferris Wheel (Willenborg). A day of advertising<br />
for the event will be held in the city centre in<br />
late June, and due to last year's big success there<br />
will be a parade of cars once again. <strong>The</strong> shops in<br />
the city centre will join the advertising campaign for<br />
the Kiliani event. It’s trendy once again to celebrate<br />
Kiliani, and the organizers make every effort to<br />
strengthen and further develop the positive general<br />
mood. This proved to be true also at the spring<br />
festival, when the Würzburg Hofbräu extended the<br />
contract with beer tent patron Michael Hahn by five<br />
years.<br />

WILHELMSHAVEN<br />

<strong>The</strong> first Wilhelmshaven Spring Festival after the<br />
Second World War was held on the 8,000 m 2<br />
Schützenplatz in spring 1953. In the late 1960s, the<br />
rides made their last rounds on the site, as it was<br />
no longer suitable for the requirements of a modern<br />
fair.<br />
After that the spring festivals were held on the Grenzstraße,<br />
yet another 10 years later on the station fore-<br />
44
court, and later around the stadium at the<br />
Friedensstraße. Since 1998, the event has been held<br />
on the fairground at the Sportforum. This year, the 60 th<br />
Spring Festival – and the 15 th to be held at the Sportforum<br />
– took place from 17 th to 25 th March. Once again,<br />
the organising Wilhelmshaven Showman Association<br />
succeeded in presenting the visitors an exciting spring<br />
festival, with the “Breakdance” from Mondorf being<br />
built up at the entrance to the fairground. Further along<br />
the circuit course, visitors were able to enjoy the<br />
“Round Up” (Potratz/Kaschi), Braun's “Hip Hop Swing”<br />
Twister, the “Music Hall” dodgem track from Hempen,<br />
the “Happy Family” Walkthrough (Heine), Meinecke’s<br />
“Musik Express”, and the Simulator from Kleuser. For<br />
the younger visitors there were the “Euro Car” kiddie<br />
ride (Mondorf), and “Le Manege” (Langenscheidt).<br />
Moreover an ample array of gastronomy operations<br />
provided the visitors with food and drink. Games<br />
booths and special stalls rounded off the selection on<br />
offer. <strong>The</strong> spring festival was officially opened by a tour<br />
of the fairground. Wednesday was the designated<br />
Family Day with reduced prices, and a fireworks display<br />
was held on Saturday evening. A flea market additionally<br />
enticed the visitors on the weekends. ■<br />

After five sunny opening days, the organizer<br />
of the Solingen Spring Fair (23 rd to 27 th March)<br />
gave a positive review.<br />
Despite the running time having been shortened<br />
by 4 days due to the local “Bergischer Handballclub”,<br />
the participating showmen were quite<br />
satisfied with their financial results. Even though<br />
the fair at the Klingenhalle began on a Friday for<br />
the first time, worries that visitor attendance<br />
would be low on the first opening day were unfounded.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Rheine-Ruhr-Wupper Showman<br />
Association’s extensive public relations efforts<br />
prior to the event had paid off. <strong>The</strong> opening Friday<br />
was also very well received due to the happy<br />
hour. Positively worth mentioning is that all the<br />
leading Solingen politicians visited the fairground.<br />
Short-term cancellations are a nuisance<br />
for every organizer. <strong>The</strong> Solingen organizer had<br />
to cope with two cancellations at the same time,<br />
namely the free Freefall Tower and the Propeller.<br />
With the “Rainbow” from Klinkerfuß, an attractive<br />
major ride could be engaged as a replacement<br />
though. <strong>The</strong> fair was very well laid out, and didn’t<br />
have any inconsistencies or drawbacks. ■<br />

Thanks to the beautiful weather during this year’s<br />
Bruchsal Spring Festival (17 th to 25 th March),<br />
participating showmen were satisfied with their<br />
financial results.<br />
A flea market once again held on the second opening<br />
Sunday to liven up the event was very successful and<br />
attracted additional visitors. Further special events in<br />
addition to the flea market were a Family Day, a<br />
“1-Euro-Hour” as well as a fireworks display. On the<br />
fairground, visitors were able to enjoy Spangenberger’s<br />
“Taiga Jet”, Göbel’s Ferris Wheel and a slide, the<br />
dodgem track “Number One” (Haas), Blum’s “Shake”,<br />
Massel’s “Tropical Trip”, Filder’s “Monsterhaus”, the<br />
“Montgolfiére”, as well as various kiddie rides. ■<br />

In Stadthagen, the around 22,300-resident town<br />
located at the edge of the Weser Uplands, two<br />
Volksfest events are held on the centrally located<br />
fairground on the Enzer Straße every year –<br />
the spring bric-a-brac market and an autumn<br />
bric-a-brac market.<br />
For this year’s spring event from 23 rd to 27 th March,<br />
110 showmen came to Stadthagen to offer the locals<br />
and visitors from the surrounding region an enjoyable<br />
Volksfest once again. <strong>The</strong> fifth opening day<br />
on Tuesday was the well-attended Family Day, with<br />
a fireworks display as the grand finale in the early<br />
evening hours. <strong>The</strong> “Flash” looping swing from Weber,<br />
much heralded in the local press already dur-<br />
46
ing build up, was the absolute crowd puller. Another<br />
novelty was the “Pirates Adventure” Walkthrough<br />
construction from Michael Schneider, and the remaining<br />
attractions on the fairground were also well<br />
worth seeing. <strong>The</strong> Musik-Express from the Noack-<br />
Steuer firm, the “Breakdance” from Noack, and the<br />
dodgem track from Steuer were virtually besieged<br />
by adolescent Krammarkt fans. Moreover, the “Time<br />
Visitor” from Dormeier, the “Air Race” from Bartels &<br />
Geibel as well as the “Rund um die Welt”-Globe-Flyer<br />
from Armbrecht provided a lot of ride fun and entertainment.<br />
A countless number of kiddie rides<br />
(Dschungelreise/Risse, Magic Twister/Wimmert,<br />
Wickie Swing/Dormeier, Car for Kids-kiddie scooter/<br />
Wegener, pony ride Alt-Wien/Deinert, Biene Majafairytale<br />
ride /Steuer and Blumen<br />
kiddie track ride/Weber) captured<br />
the children’s hearts. In spring<br />
weather with two-digit temperatures,<br />
the colourful mixture of<br />
concession stalls from all sectors,<br />
some 35 market merchants<br />
presenting their goods on the<br />
Enzer Straße, a nostalgic puppet<br />
theatre in the festival hall next to<br />
the fairground, as well as an<br />
open shopping Sunday provided<br />
Stadthagen with a happy<br />
partying atmosphere throughout<br />
the event.<br />

For 9 days (from 17 th to<br />
25 th March) the Bösmannsäcker<br />
fairground<br />
was once<br />
again completely devoted<br />
to the Reutlingen<br />
Spring Festival.<br />
In addition to the Ferris<br />
Wheel from Jost, visitors<br />
were enticed by the<br />
“Street Fighter” (A. Zinnecker),<br />
“Flipper”<br />
(Meeß), Moser’s Mirror<br />
Maze, Simulator (Zinnecker),<br />
Ruoff‘s “Jaguar”, Weber’s dodgem<br />
track, and a collection of kiddie rides. Already on<br />
the first day, a large number of visitors rushed to<br />
the fairground, and there was continued beautiful<br />
weather throughout the event. Saving money<br />
was the motto at the “Schwabenland-Deal”,<br />
where tickets were available at a price of 14.50<br />
Euro for 12 attractions worth 29 Euro. ■<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s hardly a year that goes<br />
by that Germany’s most successful<br />
theme park doesn’t present<br />
its visitors with another novelty.<br />
However this season it’s three at<br />
the same time! In addition to a<br />
new 4D-cinema adventure and a<br />
fifth park-owned theme hotel, a<br />
short term decision was made<br />
for the construction of a large<br />
wooden coaster. And as a result<br />
Germany’s newest and fifth wooden<br />
coaster opened at Europa-<br />
<strong>Park</strong>, punctually to the start of<br />
the season.<br />

Thomas and Michael Mack<br />
(from left to right) have also<br />
played a determining role in<br />
this year’s novelties<br />
And there’s no anniversary or any other special<br />
year to celebrate. Europa-<strong>Park</strong> just spent a<br />
volume of 60 million Euro on the side during winter<br />
and the new season for novelties, theme hotel,<br />
employee hotel, music production and infrastructure<br />
– which is after all eight times as much as the<br />
initial investment 37 years ago. Although all business<br />
operations and strategic further developments<br />
depend on the wide shoulders of the family,<br />
a large part of the realisation and implementation<br />
of the projects became the responsibility of Junior<br />
Chief Managers Michael and Thomas Mack.<br />
Speculations were intensive for quite some time<br />
about a possible wooden coaster for Europa-<strong>Park</strong>.<br />
In 2003 Mack Rides, and since 2005 the befriended<br />
family Engelhardt (Günther Engelhardt<br />
GmbH, Hannover), stepped in as cooperation<br />
partner and as European agent for the North<br />
American manufacturer Great Coasters International<br />
Inc. (GCI). Michael Mack: “In actual fact we<br />
have been talking about this with GCI for eight<br />
years without having a concrete project. In October<br />
2009 the plans became more realistic, and initially<br />
we were thinking about a Racing or Duelling<br />
Coaster due to capacity reasons. But my heart<br />
beat naturally for Mack; maybe in a few years the<br />
time will be right for a prototype of own production”<br />
explained Michael Mack. “Various possible<br />
locations such as ‘Griechenland’ and ‘Russland’<br />
were under consideration, but we decided on ‘Island’<br />
in the end. “<strong>The</strong> very good order situation at<br />
Mack Rides finally led to Great Coasters being<br />
50
COASTER<br />
commissioned to build in February 2011” explained<br />
Thomas Mack. And why not Mack itself?<br />
“Naturally it would have been great to be able to<br />
connect up with the roots of our company”, stated<br />
Michael Mack, “but in this country there are<br />
already two American and two European firms that<br />
are present, specialising in wooden coasters. Besides<br />
that, our factories in Waldkirch are working<br />
to full capacity until 2013, so it was the right time<br />
to engage a foreign company.”<br />
Another company than GCI never came into discussion,<br />
and existing constructions in Europe<br />
were well renowned (2006 “Thunderbird” at the<br />
Finnish PowerLand; 2007 “Troy” at Dutch Toverland;<br />
2009 “El Toro” at German Freizeitpark Plohn;<br />
2010 “Joris en de Draak” at Dutch Efteling). Naturally<br />
the fifth GCI construction had to be the best of<br />
all, with a number of new features and improvements<br />
that have not existed up until now at Great<br />
Coasters: for example a 3-train-operation for an<br />
acceptable hourly throughput, a new seating configuration<br />
that makes additional safety restraints<br />
unnecessary and provides faster passenger loading,<br />
and the use of more silent nylon wheels that<br />
are softer than the usual somewhat faster steel<br />
wheels that are generally used on wooden coasters,<br />
but are harder than the polyurethane wheels<br />
used on steel constructions. Michael Mack:”<br />
Through the support of our construction management<br />
and our engineer Peter Bläsi from Weiß Ingenieurgesellschaft<br />
mbH, we’ve helped Great<br />
Coasters as well.” With the installation on the other<br />
hand there were typical American occurrences<br />
such as the individual elements not being delivered<br />
prefabricated as far as possible to Europa-<br />
<strong>Park</strong>. Pre-impregnated wood from Germany was<br />
delivered to the site to be cut and built up. Despite<br />
this fact the complete building phase with up to 50<br />
carpenters took only nine months. Chris Grey from<br />
GCI: “<strong>The</strong> building together and erection of each<br />
supporting timber frame only took, according to<br />
size, between two and six hours.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> first drop produces<br />
airtime on all (!) seats<br />
Wood and steel meet up<br />
here – a very special type of<br />
rendezvous<br />

Not only the track course<br />

<strong>The</strong> time from the first design to the official opening<br />
day took hardly more than a year. A detailed<br />
layout according to Michael Mack’s basic<br />
specifications was prepared in only three days<br />
and nights at the end of February 2011 by Jeff Pike<br />
(GCI) and Frederic Pastuszak. Additionally, the<br />
available grounds that were stretched out and in<br />
part only eight metres wide on the edge of the park<br />
area confined possibilities. Europa-<strong>Park</strong>-Architect<br />
Pastuszak: “I prefer such compulsory measures to<br />
an absolute freely available ground area. <strong>The</strong>y can<br />
be quite lucky in that a unique experience comes<br />
into being.”<br />
In actual fact the result is impressive: <strong>The</strong> tracks<br />
cross the course of two other attractions, three<br />
tunnels underpass the park paths, despite a long<br />
stretched out ground area there are many directional<br />
changes, narrow passage routes through the<br />
wooden structure provide head-chopper thrills,<br />
the high speed right to the end – without blockbrakes<br />
or trimbrakes on the open course – don’t<br />
allow for any reprieve, and because there wasn’t<br />
room for a “normal” first drop, there’s a heavily<br />
accelerating 220° curve before the first drop that<br />
gives passengers in all seats (even in the front)<br />
breathtaking airtime. A special feature awaits the<br />
ride guests additionally even before 35 metre ascent,<br />
as the 24-seat train doesn’t roll directly to the<br />
lift hill after leaving the station, but absolves a<br />
snappy downhill-passage first, and a 180° curve<br />
towards the outside (!), suggested by park operator<br />
Miro Gronau. As it is, this track section appears<br />
to be always “on the move”, as on the straight<br />
stretch the bed lifts slightly upwards on one or the<br />
other side, which brings about a surprising but<br />
pleasant swing effect. To present a complete description<br />
of the ride experience would be very difficult<br />
due to the complex and action-loaded<br />
52
COASTER<br />
course, but from the layout – if one particularly<br />
wants to make a comparison – “Wodan” can be<br />
viewed as a creative mixture of classic Twister and<br />
Cyclone designs. All park visitors can partake of<br />
the ride, provided that they are at least six years<br />
of age and taller than 120 centimetres because<br />
despite the terrific speed, the ride characteristics<br />
are relatively smooth on the wooden coaster.<br />
Whether or not this remains so, as with all wooden<br />
coasters remains to be seen.<br />
<strong>The</strong> unusual experience begins even before the<br />
first ride – if one can still talk about amusement<br />
when a waiting time of up to 90 minutes can be<br />
expected on peak days: the waiting area leads<br />
into the story of “Wodan”, the main deity in ancient<br />
Icelandic poems, after which the coaster has been<br />
named. <strong>The</strong> waiting line in the outside area leads<br />
through the wooden structure, past sculptures<br />
and a number of boards that give information<br />
about Odin and Nordic mythology. In the connecting<br />
inside area guests are surprised by lighting<br />
installations, projections and also a number of<br />
creepy seconds – for example the impressive<br />
simulation of a cave-in of an underground wooden<br />
tunnel. Even in the station area animatronics<br />
figures from Heimotion hover over the loading area<br />
in rank and file, preparing the Midgard serpent<br />
train for the pending ride into the skies. <strong>The</strong> passenger<br />
changeover is accompanied by a park-own<br />
composed soundtrack that has been recorded by<br />
the Belarus Philharmonic Orchestra – as was the<br />
park hymn – composed by Hendrik Schwarzer,<br />
and produced by Thomas Mack. <strong>Park</strong> operator<br />
Miro Gronau is enthralled by the overall concept:<br />
“Due also to the elaborate and convincing design<br />
of the waiting area, this is the most ‘rounded off’<br />
project that Europa-<strong>Park</strong> has ever realised.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> new “Wodan Timburcoaster” is the eleventh<br />

<strong>The</strong> return course also<br />
remains curved and speedy<br />
roller coaster at Europa-<strong>Park</strong>, and it has been<br />
erected on the back edge of the park grounds,<br />
which is without a doubt the correct decision.<br />
For one thing, the arriving visitor mass is enticed<br />
to the back a lot faster from the entrance area, and<br />
with that spreads over the 90 hectare park area<br />
faster, and secondly the huge wooden structure in<br />
the Iceland theme area that came into being in<br />
2009 together with the “blue fire” coaster, gives an<br />
architectural depth and simultaneously gives an<br />
optically ascertainable completion to the park.<br />
<strong>Park</strong> architect Frederic Pastuszak: “For visitors it<br />
seems that this construction was planned here<br />
from the word go, which isn’t the case.<br />
Our objective is the creation of postcard motives.<br />
When visitors get out their cameras and photograph<br />
the visual spectacle, then we know we did<br />
it correctly.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> Secrets of Balthasar Castle<br />
<strong>The</strong> gigantic wooden coaster is not the only novelty<br />
at Europa-<strong>Park</strong>. In the already existing 4Dcinema<br />
“Magic Cinema”, the new film “Das<br />
Geheimnis von Schloss Balthasar” was already<br />
being shown during winter opening times. Different<br />
to most other parks, Europa-<strong>Park</strong> doesn’t concentrate<br />
on purchased productions, but has had<br />
a special film made and cut especially for the park<br />
produced by the makers of “Urmel aus dem Eis”<br />
and “Konferenz der Tiere”. <strong>The</strong> 15-minute experience<br />
with the Euro-Mouse and friends abducts the<br />
audience, taking them to the catacombs of the<br />
Balthasar castle, which is in fact part of the Europa-<strong>Park</strong>.<br />
Michael and Thomas Mack are thrilled<br />
that the park mascot finally has his own attraction:<br />
“For our father it was always only ‘that little animal’,<br />
but we’ve grown up with the Euro-Maus.”<br />
54
Bell Rock<br />
Thanks to “Wodan”, the “Iceland” theme area appears pleasantly complete<br />
In July, the fifth park-owned theme hotel “Bell<br />
Rock” opens with a 35 metre high lighthouse as<br />
landmark, and contains six suites, among them a<br />
360° panorama suite. <strong>The</strong> 4-Star hotel harbours in<br />
total 190 family rooms and 35 suites and is themed<br />
in American New England style.<br />
<strong>The</strong> advertisement comes right to the point: “<strong>The</strong><br />
most hospitable rocks on the Europa-<strong>Park</strong> coast”.<br />
But why a non-European theme at Europa-<strong>Park</strong> of<br />
all things? Thomas Mack: “<strong>The</strong>mes in the park and<br />
also hotel styles mirror other countries where<br />
Germans are happy to spend their holidays. And<br />
we wanted at long last to touch on the maritime<br />
theme for our hotel construction. A Scandinavian<br />
design that already exists in the park would have<br />
given too cold an atmosphere for a hotel. Besides<br />
this, there were already non-European designed<br />
attractions for many years at the park such as “Die<br />
Piraten von Batavia” that didn’t disturb the visitors,<br />
in fact the opposite. To that, New England reflects<br />
the colonial times with many European influences,<br />
and once again gives a lot of room for thematic<br />
dalliance in the furnishing of the suites”, said<br />
Thomas Mack enthusiastically.<br />
<strong>The</strong> somewhat offside located new hotel will be<br />
connected to the other resort hotels and the park<br />
by the so-called “Atlantic Bridge”, which was<br />
already planned by the park construction management<br />
and architect Rudi Neumeier from<br />
Holzkirchern four years ago. In addition to three<br />
restaurants, a large swimming landscape with<br />
inside and outside areas is also a further part of<br />
the building project.<br />
55

year: “Das Geheimnis von<br />
Schloss Balthasar” and the<br />

RIDE FACTS<br />
A Look Forward<br />
<strong>The</strong> establishment of the annual Halloween event<br />
“(Terenzi) Horror Nights” from 2007, and the erection<br />
of the Looping construction “blue fire” in 2009<br />
definitely show the signature of brothers Michael<br />
and Thomas Mack – two projects that would never<br />
have been possible before, in an explicitly family<br />
orientated theme park (see in-depth interview KPR<br />
2/2010).<br />
Following the footsteps of father and grandfather<br />
and simultaneously finding new horizons appears<br />
to be the basic idea of the new generation at<br />
Europa-<strong>Park</strong>. <strong>The</strong> continuously increasing visitor<br />
numbers confirm impressively the accuracy of this<br />
chosen path.<br />
But what will be next? Perhaps a mature water<br />
park that would make a lot of sense due to the very<br />
soon over 4,500 beds at the resort? Thomas Mack:<br />
“A water park only makes economic sense when<br />
it’s opened for at least 100 days in the year, but<br />
that’s hardly possible in Germany. Despite this we<br />
will set about such a project within the next five<br />
years. <strong>The</strong> only question is how much indoor and<br />
how much outdoor it should be.”<br />
Both brothers also emphasised repeatedly the<br />
advantage of a family company: good ideas can<br />
be implemented much faster and more directly as<br />
in a company with an executive committee that<br />
only visits the park perhaps once a month. Each<br />
earned Euro is reinvested in the experience value<br />
of the visitors and not paid into Private-Equity-<br />
Fonds. Michael Mack: “Our construction projects<br />
are long term. Our target is to continue to advance<br />
the park – we don’t need to orientate ourselves on<br />
shareholder-values.”<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s a need for<br />
practice in order to<br />
accomplish acrobatic<br />
flight rolls<br />
Without a doubt the “Sky Roller”<br />
produced by Gerstlauer Rides<br />
belongs amongst the most<br />
innovative new developments<br />
over the last years in the flat ride<br />
sector. However, the huge success<br />
remains elusive until now.<br />
<strong>The</strong> situation could well change<br />
with the modified version called<br />
“Sky Fly” going into operation at<br />
the beginning of the season<br />
under the name of “Flying Ninjago”<br />
at Legoland Deutschland.<br />

<strong>The</strong> seating order of 2-3-2-<br />

constructions.<br />

<strong>The</strong> modification had the desired effect and the first<br />
example was sold very quickly. Due to the low<br />
complexity, the sales price had been reduced by<br />
about half. This season three of these types of<br />
constructions will go into operation: “Teenage<br />
Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shell Shock” at Nickelodeon<br />
Universe in Bloomington, USA, “Air Meeting” in<br />
France’s Nigloland, and the third delivery “Flying<br />
Ninjago” enriches Legoland Deutschland since the<br />
24 th March.<strong>The</strong> basis of the theme for the new<br />
Legoland attraction is the successful Ninjago series<br />
introduced in 2011, in which small Ninja apprentices<br />
have to learn the art of Spinjitzu fighting in order<br />
to take a stand against evil. This is then the most<br />
impressive connection to the new ride attraction, as<br />
no master has fallen from the skies, and the operation<br />
of the wings has to be learnt in order to<br />
accomplish the Spinjitzu-Twist. To celebrate the 80 th<br />
anniversary of the Lego-concern and the ten year<br />
existence of the park, an additional Ninjago-Miniland<br />
will come into being on the birthday date of the<br />
17 th of May 2012.<br />
<strong>The</strong> relatively restrained<br />
theming is actually not typical<br />
of Legoland<br />
59
TOP ACT<br />
<strong>The</strong> flight circuit<br />
of Ninjago-pupils travels<br />
over and away from the<br />
Legoland Lake<br />
Thanks to the new and almost<br />
noiseless flight attraction,<br />
there are also new impressions<br />
to discover at Miniland<br />
It will not be integrated into the already existing<br />
Miniland, but will be installed separately in the<br />
entrance area. <strong>The</strong> reason for this is that it has been<br />
designed as a type of wandering exhibition, and will<br />
move on after the end of the season.<br />
But back to the actual attraction: “Flying Ninjago”<br />
is embedded in the new theme area “Little Asia”,<br />
which actually honours the name, as apart from the<br />
ride there is only an Asian snack booth there. <strong>The</strong><br />
entrance to the fenced waiting area is through a<br />
wooden gate – at least if one turns to the right and<br />
stands in the regular line, because the path to the<br />
left leads owners of an electronic express pass<br />
direct to embarkation.<br />
When clearance has been given, the rotating arm<br />
is elevated 20°, which takes approximately 15 seconds,<br />
after which the gondola brakes are released.<br />
From this point a rotation around the longitudinal<br />
axis is possible. <strong>The</strong> passenger carrier accelerates<br />
quickly and very soon reaches its final speed of<br />
eight revolutions per minute. At this stage the<br />
airstream is enough with clever handling of the<br />
wings to bring the seats to roll over or to swing. <strong>The</strong><br />
trick is to bring the wings to work in the opposite<br />
direction of each other, and to reverse the running<br />
when reaching the highest point of the rocking<br />
motion. Nevertheless most of the passengers find<br />
this rather difficult, as it takes a couple of rides to<br />
find the correct coordination.<br />
<strong>The</strong> particular difficulty is that the passenger carriers<br />
don’t move on a horizontal circular path, but at<br />
35°. For this reason it’s hard to ascertain when the<br />
maximum rocking motion has been reached, and<br />
when the wing positions have to be changed. With<br />
a little practice however the Spinjitzu-Twist can be<br />
mastered, and the rotational direction can be controlled.<br />
<strong>The</strong> slanting flight path does however have<br />
advantages as well, with passengers travelling<br />
towards the ground in parts, which is extremely<br />
appealing optically. And for passengers who aren’t<br />
into looping (or can’t manage it), the slanting angle<br />
at least provides an interesting ride with a light<br />
airtime.<br />
60
Outside, the speed of the ride is naturally more,<br />
which results in a faster possible rotation. In the first<br />
row there’s the added unobstructed scenic view;<br />
further to the back the vision falls more to the other<br />
seats that are however arranged simply.<br />
<strong>The</strong> capacity of the “Flying Ninjago” is somewhat<br />
problematic. Although theoretically the number of<br />
rounds per ride can be aligned, less than six rounds<br />
don’t take place at Legoland. With passenger loading<br />
as well as elevation and descent of the rotating<br />
arm, between 3.5 and up to 4<br />
minutes are used up in the cycle,<br />
which leads to a practical<br />
capacity of circa 200 passengers<br />
per hour. Praiseworthy is<br />
the fact that the personnel<br />
arrange the passengers very<br />
well, and it’s rare that a seat<br />
remains unoccupied.<br />
<strong>The</strong> waiting area and the bordering<br />
path are themed and full of<br />
Asiatic atmosphere, decorated<br />
with countless red Chinese<br />
lanterns. <strong>The</strong> design of the ride<br />
construction itself is simpler: the<br />
mast has been painted a sand<br />
colour, the rotating arm red with<br />
suggested skin scales, and the<br />
wings are painted with dragon<br />
wings. Together with the shoulder<br />
restraints, the result is more<br />
of a technical optic, which sets<br />
the ride apart from other<br />
Legoland images.<br />
This doesn’t appear to deter the<br />
young park visitors, which is<br />
rewarded by a ride that allows its<br />
intensity to be influenced on a<br />
large scale. So, despite long<br />
waiting times, there are many repeat<br />
riders – and there is hardly<br />
better proof of a successful attraction<br />
than that.<br />

event, which also included directors of amusement<br />
parks and family entertainment centres.<br />
A vast array of amusement rides and entertainment<br />
equipment for amusement parks, water parks and<br />
family entertainment centres, playgrounds and sports<br />
grounds, as well as 5D-movie theatres, laser shooting<br />
galleries, simulators and gaming machines, bumper<br />
cars and bicycles, bowling equipment were presented,<br />
and vending machine companies offered their products<br />
as well.<br />
As at all international events interesting business<br />
contacts were established, and contracts were signed<br />
for the purchase and supply of park and recreational<br />
equipment for many regions of Russia, the CIS<br />
(Commonwealth of Independent States) and foreign<br />
countries. Within the frames of the conference “Prospects<br />
of amusement industry development in Russia”<br />
that took place on March 19-20, interesting seminars,<br />
business training, and round table discussions were<br />
held on various current issues, and were attended by<br />
over 270 amusement industry professionals.<br />
Important topics were presented by various speakers<br />
on matters such as development of kiddie entertainment<br />
and leisure, safety on children’s playgrounds<br />
and rides; the increase of amusement park profitability<br />
under modern conditions; organising mass events; the<br />
effectiveness of advertising in amusement parks;<br />
zoning of the amusement park areas, and organization<br />
of food court space.<br />

On March 21 st , a gala dinner was organised by RAAPA<br />
for exhibitors and guests of the event, during which the<br />
“Golden Pony Awards” from Italien magazine Games<br />
& <strong>Park</strong>s Industry also took place, honouring achievements<br />
of individuals in the amusement industry, and<br />
was translated on the spot to <strong>English</strong> by Diana Lukina.<br />
But as much as there is positive to report about this<br />
show, it appears that the same old problem is cropping<br />
up even here, as at other international exhibition events<br />
in the recent past.<br />
Following a complaint from IE <strong>Park</strong> also exhibiting at<br />
the 14 th RAAPA Expo, products were seen being displayed<br />
that appeared to be copies of the company’s<br />
own products. <strong>The</strong> organisers were informed and<br />
authorised Gerry Robinson, as part of the international<br />
trade association working group dealing with IPR<br />
(intellectual property rights) and copying, to evaluate<br />
the situation, and take appropriate action.<br />
IE <strong>Park</strong> was able to produce evidence of the original<br />
designs and copies of the prototypes. As a result, an<br />
approach was made to the Tecway Development Company,<br />
Ltd, based in Taiwan, representatives of who<br />
were asked to confirm their rights to the products they<br />
were displaying. <strong>The</strong>y were unable to give any<br />
confirmation in respect of the two products that were<br />
alleged to be copies of IE <strong>Park</strong> production. As a result<br />
they were requested to remove the graphics from the<br />
displays, which they did.<br />
In a similar case involving Zhongshan Luck Amusement<br />
Machine Co from China, two other products were<br />
displayed in graphic forms, which they were unable to<br />
substantiate as being of their own design. Having<br />
agreed that the company did not want to cause any<br />
more problems, they agreed to remove the display<br />
from the stand.<br />
This is action has been initiated with the full cooperation<br />
of RAAPA and many other national and international<br />
trade associations, which are determined to ensure<br />
that their members are not disadvantaged through<br />
unfair competition and illegal copying. International<br />
manufacturers and suppliers should be aware that<br />
action will be taken against them at all major trade exhibitions,<br />
and that it is in their own interests to display<br />
only products that actually belong to them, and should<br />
be able to provide some satisfactory proof of the<br />
original design and date if requested to do so.<br />

And although the abovementioned situation occurred<br />
and was probably the cause of a sour taste in the<br />
mouth of the company representative concerned from<br />
Italy, this event can still only be described as extremely<br />
successful. Not one exhibitor had any complaints, in<br />
fact the situation was exactly the opposite, and all<br />
reported very successful business transactions during<br />
the exhibition. <strong>The</strong> organisation of the event was excellent;<br />
all stands and equipment were in place on time<br />
– a fact that some other international events cannot<br />
boast of unfortunately. And one cannot leave out mentioning<br />
the helpfulness, cooperation, and heartfelt hospitality<br />
of the exhibition hosts! All good reasons to<br />
travel to Russia to the next two events, despite the<br />
weather being a bit slow on the uptake when compared<br />
to central Europe at that time of the year!<br />

Equipment RAAPA Expo Autumn-2012” will be<br />
held from October 24 th to 26 th 2012, at the VVTs, Pavilion<br />

UPDATE: NOVELTIES 2012<br />
Despite great care being taken in<br />
the preparation of the previous<br />
“New Products 2012” report, we<br />
are happy to extend the list featured<br />
in our March edition (see<br />
KPR 3/2012). A number of the reported<br />
new attractions here for<br />
2012 are already in operation.<br />
Text:<br />

Photos: Various parks<br />
Denmark<br />
■ Djurs Sommerland: New interactive ride by the<br />
name of “Sonnengott” in the Mexican area of the<br />
park.<br />
Germany<br />
■ Belantis: <strong>The</strong> “tanzender Pavillon” has already<br />
gone into operation at the East German Belantis<br />
<strong>Park</strong>. <strong>The</strong> Gerstlauer-ride construction is a used attraction<br />
from Holiday <strong>Park</strong>, which had to make way<br />
due to the new entrance situation there. <strong>The</strong> maximum<br />
ride height of the 100-passenger “Buddel-<br />
Tanz” is 3 m. With that, it’s the strongest capital<br />
earning construction at Belantis – and will be erected<br />
near the entrance castle – promising fun without<br />
waiting time. Fitting to the attraction is the new family<br />
show “Buddels Abenteuerreise” based on the<br />
new park mascot Buddel, a small mole. Short<br />
statistics: Since opening, the company has invested<br />
65 million Euro in 60 attractions. In the beginning<br />
there were 5 theme worlds, now there are 8. Belantis<br />
with an official 500,000 annual visitor number<br />
counts among the 75 larger theme parks in Germany.<br />
■ Hansa-<strong>Park</strong>: <strong>The</strong> theme park, located directly on<br />
the Baltic Sea is not only extending the theme world<br />
“Hanse in Europa” in 5 building phases, but is also<br />
erecting a new themed playground by summer called<br />
“Das Reich der Trolle”. <strong>The</strong> design will tie in with<br />
the historic mountains, and lead all the small visitors<br />
into the adventurous world of Norwegian myths<br />
and legends. <strong>The</strong> play-landscape of the “Kiddie-Camp”<br />
will also be extended with a small novelty,<br />
and from 2012 will have an interactive ride simulator<br />
in the form of a racing car.<br />
■ Heide-<strong>Park</strong>: In addition to the design of last year’s<br />
novelty “Krake” from B&M, the new horror cabinet<br />
“Krake lebt” will be realised. Live actors and<br />
creepy effects will wait for guests in a ship wreck.<br />
■ Safaripark Stukenbrock: <strong>Park</strong> Manager Fritz<br />
Wurms is quietly and secretly erecting two new attractions<br />
that will be available to visitors to the Safaripark<br />
Stukenbrock near Paderborn: “Wet & Wild”<br />
will be a new Splash-Battle attraction that also involves<br />
animals. Manufacturer of the 5 boats is the<br />
Italian firm Mosers Rides. <strong>The</strong> location is planned<br />
to be the inner area of the “Kongo River” water attraction.<br />
Further along, a high rope course will be<br />
built over the 6,000 m 2 sized cheetah enclosure:<br />
without a doubt causing a real thrill on the hanging<br />
bridge.<br />
■ Tripsdrill: Visitors to the Freizeitpark Tripsdrill near<br />
Stuttgart won’t have to forego novelties this season<br />
either: <strong>The</strong> operator family Fischer is extending the<br />
entrance axle “Dorfgasse” with three timber-framed<br />
houses by the end of June. <strong>The</strong>y will contain a 1,000<br />
m 2 indoor playing world from Canadian manufacturer<br />
PrimePlay with slides and softball games. A historic<br />
games exhibition will also be shown here, including<br />
a large railway world from Märklin from the<br />
year 1920. <strong>The</strong> bordering zoo presents new accommodation<br />
possibilities for the brown bear cubs<br />
born only a few weeks ago, as well as an extended<br />
restaurant and an adventure playground.<br />

park for the first time.<br />
France<br />
■ Le Pal: New animal enclosure for the Asian lions<br />
and the Sumatra-Tiger. Additionally a new animal<br />
clinic will be erected.<br />
■ Puy du Fou: <strong>The</strong> imaginative kiddie area Le Monde<br />
Imaginaire de La Fontaine has come into being according<br />
to the design of poet Jean de la Fontaine, in<br />
which statues are brought to life, trees speak, and<br />
famous fables become reality directly before the<br />
eyes of the guests.<br />
Italy<br />
■ Etnaland: In addition to the already reported<br />
Darkride from Gosetto, Etnaland will also receive a<br />
300 m long water attraction with two 6 m drops.<br />
■ Magic Land: <strong>The</strong> park that opened last year near<br />
Rome is endeavouring damage containment. In its<br />
second season, many new shows will open, and<br />
countless improvements are being made.<br />

PROJECT: REAL MADRID RESORT ISLAND<br />
Announcements about new theme<br />
parks are coming in at such<br />
a rash speed that it’s often very<br />
difficult to segregate fantasy<br />
from concrete plans. This applies<br />
also to the very latest idea<br />
from the United Arab Emirates,<br />
which has led to many inaccurate<br />
announcements immediately<br />
after the initial release.<br />

Alarge holiday and entertainment centre will<br />
apparently be erected on an artificial island on<br />
the coast of the small emirate Ras al Kaiman (RAK,<br />
231,000 inhabitants on 1,700 km 2 ) – a mixture of<br />
holiday-land, theme park, and football. <strong>The</strong> island<br />
is part of a group that has been called “coral<br />
islands” due to the design, and is called the Al<br />
Marjan Island.<br />
It’s modeled naturally on the well photographed<br />
Palm Islands of Dubai. In order to compete and to<br />
entice investors, those wanting a holiday and<br />
other guests, those concerned on RAK searched<br />
for a world renowned partner for the project, and<br />
found it in a football club (!) that enjoys the<br />
admiration in particular of Arabian countries: the<br />
nine fold winner of the European Cup, Real<br />
Madrid. This is not as far-fetched as it seems at<br />
first, because there has been a connection<br />
between the partners for quite some time: the Emirates<br />
airline has been the main sponsor<br />
of Real Madrid since the summer<br />
of 2011.<br />
One of the coral islands will be in the<br />
form of the Real Madrid emblem and<br />
will contain the following: a yacht harbour,<br />
a 5-Star luxury hotel with 450<br />
rooms (the extension of hotel rooms to<br />
10,000 is planned by 2016), 60 bungalows,<br />
40 villas, 400 apartments, various<br />
sporting facilities, and a huge<br />
football stadium reaching to the<br />
ocean. Whether this all makes sense<br />
remains to be seen, and poses the<br />
question as to how such a huge stadium<br />
will ever be filled. Further along, a<br />
Real-Madrid-museum is in planning<br />
with a new type of “hologram show”,<br />
during which the most famous scenes<br />
of Real-history will be shown. Very<br />
possibly a simple 3D projection is<br />
meant here. It can however get boring even in the<br />
most beautiful holiday park, and for this reason a<br />
12 hectare sized theme park with a large coaster<br />
is also being planned.<br />
Individual details of the project that will be called<br />
an unoriginal “Sporttainment” are few at the moment.<br />
And details as to the necessary funds already<br />
being available, or alternatively where it’s all<br />
coming from, are more than vague (the project is<br />
to be developed by the recently founded “RAK<br />
Marjan Island Football Investment Fund”).<br />
Whether or if the local ruling dynasty will be involved<br />
in the project remains to be seen. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
no oil deposit on RAK, and the city lives mainly<br />
from manufacturing cement, tiles, medicinal products<br />
and mineral water. And Real Madrid itself<br />
will not bring in any Euro or dollar whatsoever (!),<br />
only its good name.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 43 hectare Real-island will apparently cost<br />
one billion US-$, a modest amount when considering<br />
that it’s not such a gigantic plan as in Dubai<br />
or Abu Dhabi, located not far away (the international<br />
Dubai airport is only 45 minutes away).<br />
Just how probable the realisation of the ambitious<br />
project is, remains to be seen. On the one hand<br />
experts on the country are still citing the fate of the<br />
“Boris Becker Tennis Academy” that has been in<br />
planning at Al Marjan for a few years, without even<br />
one brick ever being laid. On the other hand, the<br />
football island is a prestigious project that could<br />
be profitable for both partners, the government,<br />
and sports clubs. <strong>The</strong> development of tourism is<br />
very important to RAK. <strong>The</strong> fact that the themeholiday<br />
park will be of primary importance appears<br />
to be certain when considering the well<br />
known enthusiasm of the Arab countries for parks<br />
and the Real-president Florentino Pérez, who<br />
wanted to have a theme park built earlier on the<br />
club property of Real Madrid, located in Valdebebas,<br />
north east of Madrid.<br />

A BOOK REVIEW<br />
Berlin is a dark hole in the German park landscape,<br />
but this was not always the case. <strong>The</strong> earlier<br />
Spreepark Plänterwald has been closed for 10<br />
years now, and offers a romantic-morbid picture<br />
of decay. <strong>The</strong> new publication is dedicated to the<br />
legendary amusement park of the GDR.<br />
<strong>The</strong> final chord for the end of the park builds up<br />
around events concerning the operator family Witte.<br />
<strong>The</strong> occurrences regarding the demise were so<br />
spectacular that they were the basis of the<br />
documentary film “Achterbahn”, which caused<br />
great feedback at the International film festival Berlinale.<br />
What actually happened during this turbulence<br />
around the Witte family in the background, was<br />
that the park itself had a not less than fascinating<br />
history. <strong>The</strong> Kulturpark Berlin opened in 1969, in<br />
celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the GDR,<br />
and was the only permanent amusement park in the<br />
republic. After the unification in 1991 the park was<br />
liquidated, and the operating Witte family received<br />
the acceptance of tender. <strong>The</strong>y rebuilt the park<br />
according to “western examples”, and operated it<br />
until the end of 2001. <strong>The</strong> authors Christopher Flade,<br />
to many a Berliner known as the Spreepark guide,<br />
and Sacha Szabo, a sociologist who is intensively<br />
occupied with the leisure culture, are dedicated to<br />
this park. For this project there were 20 witnesses<br />
interviewed from that period of time, who told of their<br />
experiences before and after the German reunification.<br />
To that, the book spans a historic arch from the<br />
founding in 1969, to the period ten years after the<br />
closing of Spreepark, to 2011. Christopher Flade<br />
described after our enquiry the idea of the book in<br />
the following manner: “<strong>The</strong> book is laid out like a<br />
saunter over the funfair. <strong>The</strong>re are voices<br />
here and there; sometimes a break is<br />
taken and one listens in on the remarks<br />
of the authors about the history of the<br />
park or the motivation to visit such a non<br />
everyday world. And then one is already<br />
immersed back into the quantum”. <strong>The</strong><br />
book is presented in spoken dialogue,<br />
which is somewhat irritating at the start,<br />
but after a few pages the effect creates<br />
the impression of actually plunging into<br />
the incidents. And so the authors<br />
breathe life back into the park for perhaps<br />
the last time, literarily. <strong>The</strong> book in<br />
DIN-A5-Format has 128 pages and<br />
contains historic as well as current B/W<br />
photos. It has been published by the<br />
Tectum Verlag Marburg and costs 19.90<br />
€ (ISBN 978-3-8288-2748-6). ■<br />

CHINA STEPS ON THE THEME PARK BRAKE<br />
Whilst in the well saturated European<br />
theme park market every<br />
single coaster opening is celebrated<br />
as a large investment, one<br />
could observe over the past<br />
years in the People’s Republic of<br />
China that at least two large<br />
theme parks opened almost<br />
every year.<br />
Text:<br />

Martin & Vleminckx<br />
Photos above: Happy<br />
Valley Shenzhen / Photos<br />
down: Hong Kong Disneyland<br />
And an end to this development doesn’t appear<br />
to be in sight by the way: Happy Valley Wuhan<br />
and Triumph <strong>King</strong>dom this year, Shanghai Disneyland<br />
and Happy Valley Tianjin next year, and a Kitty-<br />
<strong>Park</strong> in 2014. <strong>The</strong> list just continues.<br />
This reminds us of the Japanese theme park economy<br />
of the 1990s. Even in those days, two theme<br />
park complexes opened in the Asian island nation<br />
every year, and the ride manufacturers exporting to<br />
the west appeared to experience a gold-rush mood.<br />
And in those days the boom was fuelled by government<br />
subsidies as is the case in China currently. In<br />
the process individual projects were indeed very<br />
successful, in particular Tokyo Disneyland with<br />
theme parks being considered as drivers of growth<br />
in the economy of structurally weak regions. So<br />
projects came into being everywhere. 20 years later<br />
the balance is a sated market, countless closings,<br />
and quite a number of parks that only exist because<br />
they are kept alive by large corporations as a diversification.<br />
In China it’s the real estate developers who have discovered<br />
theme park construction for themselves,<br />
but only a very few have real experience in the<br />
operation of a park. And since China has also defined<br />
tourism as an important cornerstone of the national<br />
economy, grounds for park projects could be<br />
obtained quite cheaply, and huge tracks of land<br />
could be purchased under the guise of a resort project.<br />
Very often these days an ‘alibi’-park can be<br />
found beside countless hotels, offices and living<br />
quarters that interest investors and real estate<br />
developers in particular. Thus, the development in<br />
China – in comparison to Japan – has a double hazard<br />
potential: not only a wave of heavy selling in the<br />
theme park market, but also a greater size of the real<br />
estate market. Added to that, among the already existing<br />
parks in China, only the occasional few yields<br />
a profit, and even the successful among them are<br />
anything other than efficient when compared internationally.<br />
<strong>The</strong> per-head-turnover in Chinese theme<br />
parks is way under that of theme parks in other<br />
70
countries. Currently there are approximately<br />
2,500 large and small parks,<br />
and 90 % close after three years at the<br />
latest; only 10 % are economically<br />
successful. Already years ago the<br />
central government had announced<br />
that large theme park projects centrally<br />
from Peking had to be approved.<br />
Despite this, regional governments<br />
operated projects on their own authority.<br />
In August a serious threat was made<br />
to discontinue running projects that<br />
didn’t have approval from the central<br />
government. This rule affects parks<br />
with more than a 20 hectare ground<br />
area, or an investment volume of over<br />
500 mio. Yuan (approx. converted value<br />
60 Mio. Euro). Until now, only a film<br />
park that was to originate in Suzhou has<br />
been affected by a building freeze. All named projects<br />
at the start are to be developed as planned, as those<br />
who are really serious about the construction and<br />
operation of theme parks such as Disney or OCT had<br />
their parks approved by the central government already<br />
before start of construction.<br />

PROJECT: NAPOLEON-PARK<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lord Mayor Yves Jégo, of<br />
Montereau-Fault-Yvonne, located<br />
approximately 100 km south<br />
of the centre of Paris, where<br />
Napoleon Bonaparte’s last military<br />
victory took place, and who<br />
is a great admirer of the most<br />
well known Corsican, has had<br />
the first plans developed for a<br />
new park. It’s not certain however<br />
just how intensely his hero<br />
worship will be represented.<br />

Building apparently will commence in 2014, and<br />
be completed by 2017 at a cost of 250 million<br />
Euro, on 150 hectares, providing 3,000 new jobs.<br />
Investors and operator are – as usual – still being<br />
searched for. Allegedly many national politicians<br />
will be supporting this project, and one hopes for<br />
a visitor number of between one and two million<br />
per year.<br />
<strong>The</strong> round park design covers the most important<br />
stations in the military and political career of<br />
Napoleon Bonaparte, and will be divided into<br />
regions such as for example “Corsica” (birthplace),<br />
“Elba” (exile) “Egypt” (conquest / expedition),<br />
and so on. One area will apparently be a<br />
water show, depicting the Battle of Trafalgar<br />
(1805), and the victory of Lord Nelson over France<br />
and Spain. It may well be that visitors will also be<br />
able to experience and take part in the re-enactment<br />
of the historic Battle of Austerlitz daily, and<br />
the 100 days following Napoleon’s return will be<br />
presented on film.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are talks of somewhat obscure and hardly<br />
tasteful things in the various areas, such as a ski<br />
slope through a battlefield full of frozen soldiers, a<br />
portrayal of the beheading of Louis XVI, and the<br />
battle for Moscow is to be the reason for a skating<br />
rink. Coasters and water rides will apparently be<br />
integrated, as well as hotels, restaurants, shops,<br />
a conference centre and a museum.<br />
How the Mayor/initiator intends to create a park<br />
that teaches French-European history, hero<br />
worships a General-emperor who is at least still<br />
partly popular with the French even today, and<br />
offers fun and entertainment for families and<br />
children remains a mystery that is being chewed<br />
on currently by the foreign press in particular.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s also the question as to how a coaster<br />
and amusement ride can be designed to fit to<br />
the bloody theme of European history without<br />
appearing banal, hypocritical, or insensitive.<br />
And as there is already professional competition<br />
in the greater Paris area with Disneyland<br />
and Parc Astérix, without a doubt it can’t be a<br />
“normal” theme park, but a historic park such<br />
as the successful Le Puy du Fou in the Vendee<br />
as model.<br />

PROJECT: JALFAR AMUSEMENT PARK<br />
Frank Lanfer<br />
Following the so-called “green revolution” in Iraq,<br />
more and more young people are dissatisfied<br />
with their situation.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir anger according to the latest findings is (still)<br />
not against political conditions, but in particular<br />
against the limitations of daily life: there are no<br />
discos or other places where young people can<br />
meet. This has been recognised by Iraqi leaders<br />
who want – not selflessly – to create an outlet as<br />
soon as possible to reduce the<br />
frustration of the young population.<br />
<strong>The</strong> government owned Basra Investment Board<br />
wants to erect the Jalfar Amusement <strong>Park</strong> in the<br />
capital of Teheran in the Qibla-quarter on 2.5<br />
hectares at a cost of 4.2 million US-$. <strong>The</strong> opening<br />
of the park is expected to be already at the end<br />
of 2013.<br />
Further along, the new Ashar Shopping Centre will<br />
come into being for another 17.8 million $. As 3 rd<br />
“attraction”, a modern shopping street is to be<br />
realised for almost 50 million dollars in Teheran’s<br />
city distrct Kut a-Hajaj.<br />
