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 />

Now under<br />

Spindler/Böhme ownership:<br />

the “Hollywood Star”<br />

DATES<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 />

■<br />

A new pocket-size market<br />

calendar is available,<br />

listing the festivals and<br />

markets in Osnabrück<br />

and the region.<br />

It was published by the<br />

Showman Association<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 />

Text & Photos:<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 />

BN Performance Rides<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 />

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 />

<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 />

PREMIERE<br />

12 rotating gondolas<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 />

PREMIERE<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 />

Talking of light, this type of lighting technology<br />

used for the first time on a German ride was pro-<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 />

“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 />

Münster<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 />

Text & Photos:<br />

Nils Benthien<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 />

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 />

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 />

spectacularly into the scene<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 />

but also the water attraction<br />

and over (built 2005 by Mack<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


Further novelties this<br />

year: “Das Geheimnis von<br />

Schloss Balthasar” and the<br />

theme hotel “Bell Rock”<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 />

TOP ACT<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 />

3-2 produces the most possible<br />

space clearance<br />

Flying Ninjago<br />

Originally, 16 seats are located<br />

around the central rotating<br />

tower pair wise. At the start he<br />

the left and right of each rotatable seat. With clever the form of the “Sky Fly”. In this case there are 12<br />

cally elevated somewhat at the beginning of the<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 />

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 />

Text:<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 />

Stefan Rothaug<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 />

Text:<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 />
