KALEIDOSCOPE<br />

SUPER TOWER<br />

SERVICE<br />

Text & Photo: Ralf Schmitt<br />

The “Orient-Zauber” figure-of-eight<br />

kiddie track<br />

ride from Karin & Josef<br />

Diebold from Augsburg<br />

offers a new service.<br />

In the course of the redesign<br />

of the large paybox<br />

wagon, the so-called “Pipi-<br />

Box”, or “wee-wee box”<br />

was created. It is a spacious<br />

kiddie toilet and a<br />

nappy changing room.<br />

According to the Diebold<br />

family, the new service is<br />

very well received. ■<br />

Matthias Mölter at<br />

the operator stand, and with<br />

partner Tina Madalschek, and<br />

daughter Emilia<br />

The “Silberturm” Drop Zone<br />

Tower, built by SBF-Visa,<br />

changed ownership last<br />

year. After the Herbstplärrer<br />

in Bamberg, Matthias Mölter<br />

from Coburg took over the<br />

major family ride from Manfred<br />

Zehle Jnr. from Munich.<br />

The construction has now<br />

gone into operation under<br />

management of the new<br />

owner and sports a new<br />

name.<br />

According to Mölter, he had<br />

taken over the ride “in a very<br />

well looked after condition”,<br />

and redesigned it into the “Super<br />

Tower” during the winter<br />

break by repainting the centre<br />

trailer, the paybox and the railings<br />

in steel blue. The new tarpaulin<br />

below the platform is<br />

also blue, and features the<br />

new name “Super Tower” in<br />

striking yellow and red rimmed letters on its front side.<br />

Moreover, new decoration elements, a new paybox<br />

sign and mirror strips for the lighting pillars were<br />

added. Due to many additionally mounted LED lightcapped<br />

bulbs, the “Super Tower” is now superbly<br />

illuminated after sundown. Redesigning was completed<br />

by the precautionary replacing of parts typically<br />

subject to wear, and by overhauling the electrical<br />

equipment. After test runs in Kassel and Neustadt near<br />

Coburg, Matthias Mölter’s newly purchased ride was<br />

officially inaugurated at the Spring festival in Coburg.<br />

On the request of the previous owner, the ride had<br />

once been equipped by the Italian manufacturer with<br />

a larger paybox/operator stand and an additional platform.<br />

Due to additional padding for the restraints having<br />

been installed on the seats, children from six years<br />

of age can safely partake of the ride without any risk.<br />

A number of ride programmes, with a freefall from a<br />

height of 17 metres as well as a “jumping effect” – not<br />

offered by the high free fall towers – provide a lot of fun<br />

for both young and old passengers. The ride can also<br />

be manually controlled and is 'gentle on the stomach'.<br />

In Coburg, it was noted that many children enthusiastically<br />

took repeat rides, shouting cheerfully, especially<br />

during the “jumping effect”. Building up and dismantling<br />

the compact construction, with its small<br />

ground measurements of 14 x 7 metres, is accomplished<br />

easily and without the need of a crane in just a couple<br />

of hours. Elevating the tower requires 8 metres of<br />

free space on the left side however. The gondola accommodates<br />

16 people and the ride’s electrical power<br />

is approximately 35 kW. Due to both its being easily<br />

built up and dismantled without a crane and its compact<br />

dimensions, the complete construction can be<br />

loaded onto the centre trailer, and is highly suitable for<br />

smaller events and city festivals. After its successful<br />

première in Coburg, the “Super Tower” will be presented<br />

at, among other venues, in Lüdenscheid, Dingolfing,<br />

Halver, Mettmann, and Gießen, as well as a number<br />

of Kirchweih events in Franconia.<br />

There is some news of a classic family ride leaving<br />

Germany; the “Fliegender Teppich” from the<br />

Landwermann-Hohmann firm was now sold to<br />

Ukraine.<br />

The Zierer construction, built in 1982, has been under<br />

the ownership of Landwermann-Hohmann and toured<br />

throughout Germany – mainly in the notrth – since<br />

2006. In particular, the construction’s regular appearances<br />

at the Hamburg Dom events, as well as its flying<br />

visits to other parts of Germany – such as the Regensburg<br />

Dult in Southern Germany or the Havelberg<br />

Horse Market in Eastern Germany – will live on in<br />

memory. After the sale, the “Fliegender Teppich” will<br />

be at home in the distant Ukraine; or to be more precise,<br />

a tourist region on the Crimean peninsula, where<br />

small Lunaparks have been attracting locals and<br />

tourists during the summer for some years now. ■<br />

JAGUAR<br />

Text & Photos:<br />

Kai Morawetz<br />

After Konrad Ahrend from Peine/Schmedenstedt<br />

had taken over the “Schlager Express”,<br />

built by Cosmont, from Peter Arens from Dortmund<br />

in the spring of 2010 and had converted<br />

it into the “Jaguar Express”, he parted with his<br />

cult Mack ride “Jaguar Bahn” last November.<br />

The new owner is Benny Welte from Rostock, who<br />

founded his own showman operation with this ride.<br />

Even though the “Jaguar” is a 52-year old Mack poled<br />

switchback, consisting of more than 900 – partly very<br />

heavy individual parts – and is held together by some<br />

400 bolts and screws, Benny Welte's long-standing<br />

dream of owning his own ride came true with this<br />

“workhouse”, featuring a wooden beam drive system.<br />

Benny Welte learned the showman trade in his parent's<br />

business, who toured the “Hot Wheel” dodgem<br />

track and various confectionery booths. Although<br />

Benny Welte did not have any experience with round<br />

rides, he managed the first “real” build up for the première<br />

at the Spring Festival in the Mecklenburg town<br />

of Ribnitz (between Rostock and Stralsund) without<br />

outside help after only one trial build up. Due to it having<br />

been perfectly operated, the ride was immediately<br />

well received by the visitors in Ribnitz. Currently<br />

there are plans for a number of improvements such as<br />

the restoration of the gondola lighting and the purchase<br />

of a new baggage van.<br />

During the current season, Benny Welte will present<br />

the “Jaguar Bahn” not only at Volksfest events in<br />

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but also, among<br />

other venues at the Pfingstmasche in Haldensleben,<br />

and the Schützenfest in Bad Sachsa.<br />

Due to construction works, there will probably be<br />

changes in the visual appearance of the station<br />

forecourt during the Freimarkt events of 2012.<br />

This does not apply to the small area in front of the<br />

Bremen main station, where traditionally a number<br />

of showman sales and gastronomic booths are<br />

placed, but to the adjoining section, as the WFB<br />

Wirtschaftsförderung Bremen GmbH has sold this<br />

property to the Achim Griese Treuhandgesellschaft<br />

on behalf of the city of Bremen. The Hamburg property<br />

developer, specialising in retail outlets and<br />

shopping centres, will apply for a building permit as<br />

early as this year, with construction being planned<br />

to begin in the second half of 2012. “As gateway to<br />

the city centre, the station forecourt will receive a<br />

new appearance and a new perspective,” Joachim<br />

Lohse, Bremen Senator for the Environment, Construction<br />

and Transport, commenting on the conclusion<br />

of the contract. The plan provides for a twopart<br />

building complex being built on the 5,580<br />

square metre area, crossed by a public footpath<br />

running towards the city centre. In addition to three<br />

basement levels (two of them functioning as an underground<br />

car park accommodating 320 vehicles)<br />

it will have 7 floors boasting about 40,000 m 2 of gross<br />

floor space each. While the 1 st basement, ground<br />

floor and the 1 st floor are reserved for retail outlets,<br />

gastronomic operations and service providers, the<br />

eastern part of the building has already been let to<br />

an international hotel operator, who will offer 315<br />

double rooms of both five-star and three-star standard.<br />

The latter will certainly be particularly interesting<br />

for non-resident Freimarkt visitors, as they<br />

can thus sleep comfortably within walking distance<br />

to the Freimarkt.<br />

SOUND FACTORY<br />

Text & Photos:<br />

Norman Vogt<br />

To this day, Austria’s<br />

old hand in the trade<br />

highly enjoys working<br />

at the shooting<br />

gallery. Many visitors<br />

often come to the<br />

shooting gallery only<br />

because of her, as<br />

several generations<br />

of visitor families<br />

have now shot at<br />

“Tante Elsa’s”, and<br />

want her alone to<br />

load the gun and attend<br />

to them. Despite<br />

strokes of fate, such<br />

as the untimely death<br />

of her son at the age<br />

of 64 – tragically on<br />

the very day of Else<br />

Schlader’s birthday –<br />

she has never lost<br />

her love for her profession.<br />

■<br />

At the Mannheim Maimess, Uwe<br />

Müller from Neckarshausen presented<br />

his new ball throwing<br />

booth “Sound Factory”, a 10-metre<br />

long games booth he had<br />

bought from Werner Thelen from<br />

Karlsruhe.<br />

For Uwe Müller the beginning of this<br />

season marked his 21 st year as an independent<br />

showman. He not only<br />

owns several game booths such as<br />

another ball throwing booth and a dart throwing<br />

booth, as well as a Kugelstechen side stall, but also<br />

a stall where garlic-laced baguettes are prepared,<br />

which he tours throughout Baden-Württemberg and<br />

Rhineland Palatinate. Due to his openness and honesty,<br />

Uwe Müller is a very popular guest on the fairgrounds.<br />

It seems that the word “no” is not in his vocabulary.<br />

His quick-wit is also well proven; when<br />

asked why he had now purchased a larger attraction,<br />

he answered, “we had a new addition to the family a<br />

couple of months ago. So, as the family has expanded,<br />

naturally I had to also expand my business!” ■<br />

ROUND UP<br />

Text & Photo:<br />

Wolfgang Payer<br />

On 1 st May, traditionally one of<br />

the days with the highest attendance<br />

in the Vienna Prater,<br />

the trial run of a new arrival to<br />

the Prater took place; namely a<br />

restored “Round Up”, which<br />

has found a new home on site<br />

38.<br />

The ride was brought to the<br />

Prater by showman Karl Güldner.<br />

Therefore, a “Round Up” ride is<br />

once again built up at the Prater,<br />

after a break of many years. After<br />

several changes of ownership,<br />

the ride, originally built by the<br />

Fähtz firm in 1974, had last been<br />

toured throughout Germany under<br />

the management of the Bügler<br />

firm. Karl Güldner has installed<br />

a new control system and a new lighting system<br />

from the LSM firm, the latter providing the attraction<br />

with an impressive appearance, particularly<br />

at night. The construction operates at a speed of<br />

17.5 r.p.m., which turned out to provide the desired<br />

so-called “feel good factor” during various tests. ■<br />

In addition to new “Smashing Jump” constructions,<br />

there were further new arrivals to be encountered at<br />

the spring events in Belgium and Holland.<br />

In Rotterdam, for example, the “Ice Jet” Alpine Bob from<br />

the Ropers brothers celebrated a successful début. The<br />

construction, built in Italy, is magnificently<br />

designed and themed in<br />

the tradition of the “Petersburger<br />

Schlittenfahrt”, with a stern looking<br />

lady observing visitors from above,<br />

as the dominant front element. This<br />

year, the “Ice Jet” will also appear<br />

at events at, among other venues,<br />

Geleen, Tilburg, Hoorn, Weert,<br />

Bredaand the “Winterland” in Hasselt<br />

(Belgium). In Belgium, the “Extreme” Ranger – built<br />

by ARM in England and imported from Ireland as a used<br />

ride – was presented as a season novelty by Albert Vermeylen.<br />

Moreover, the “Nightmare” construction was a<br />

new Ghost Ride for Belgium. The Gary Lamer-Ropers<br />

family purchased the ride in Holland, and parted with<br />

their “Jurassic <strong>Park</strong>” Ghost House.<br />

Photos: Technical <strong>Park</strong><br />

They are a living legend:<br />

the Rolling<br />

Stones – probably the<br />

best-known and foremost<br />

rock band in the<br />

world, sporting their<br />

unique and memorable<br />

logo; the extended<br />

tongue. Now, there<br />

is also a ride completely<br />

dedicated to<br />

the “Stones” theme, a brand new looping “Street<br />

Fighter” from Technical <strong>Park</strong> called “Rolling<br />

Stones 360°”.<br />

The images of the four band members were<br />

immortalized on the front area of this thrill attraction,<br />

along with the four first names mounted to the lighting<br />

pillars. The owner of the ride is the northern Italian<br />

showman, Ronnie Lagrein, who also came up<br />

with the unusual theme. “The ‘Street Fighter Revolution’<br />

is a perfect addition to the large number of<br />

swings already touring the Italian fairgrounds,” said<br />

Ronnie Lagrein. White and red (the colours of the<br />

<strong>English</strong> flag) are the predominant colours of the ride,<br />

which is also equipped with LED lighting technology.<br />

As rides are mostly operated without a backflash<br />

in Italy, at least the flags of the island were put up at<br />

fence level in the rear section. The “Rolling Stones<br />

360°” was introduced to the public at the spring<br />

event in Trevano, where it was very well received.<br />

Another “Street Fighter Revolution” is currently being<br />

built and will be delivered to the French showman<br />

Baptiste Cedric in a couple of weeks' time. ■<br />

BAYREUTH VOLKSFEST<br />

Text: Helmut Bresler<br />

Karl-Heinz Lammel<br />

The town of Bayreuth, boasting 7,500 citizens<br />

and located in the Upper Franconia region of<br />

Bavaria, is world-famous for its Richard Wagner<br />

Festival, held at the festival theatre on the<br />

Grüner Hügel every year. Among the town’s<br />

largest companies are the Gebrüder Maisel<br />

(brewery), British American Tobacco, Steingraeber<br />

& Söhne (piano manufacturer), and<br />

the Zapf firm (manufacturer of prefabricated<br />

houses and garages). Since 1 st May, there has<br />

been a new mayor in Bayreuth, Brigitte Merk-<br />

Erbe (Bayreuther Gemeinschaft), whose duty<br />

it will be to open the 103 rd Volksfest with the<br />

traditional tapping of the keg, in Bastian<br />

Schuhmann’s new beer tent on the 25 th May.<br />

The Volksfest is organised by the “Bayreuth<br />

Marketing und Tourismus GmbH”, energetically<br />

supported by the some 20-member “Bayreuth<br />

section” of the South German Showman Association.<br />

The first Volksfest event was held outside the<br />

town walls in 1910 to mark the 100 th anniversary<br />

of the town’s affiliation to the Kingdom of<br />

Bavaria. The Bayreuth Section was founded in<br />

1923. In this founding phase, the “Schlachthofwiesen”<br />

fairground at the Unteren Au caused<br />

the showmen many problems. Every year, three<br />

major festivals were held in this area; sales fairs<br />

with adjoining amusement sections at Mariä<br />

Lichtmess, or Candlemas at Pentecost, and on<br />

the Feast of St. Martin. In 1955, ten years after<br />

the Second World War, fourteen Bayreuth showmen<br />

– among others, Anton Reil, Klaus Heitmann,<br />

Elias Braun, Alfred Emmrich, Adolf Braun,<br />

Anna Kürzdörfer and Karl Mayer – revived the<br />

section. The reason why they founded this section<br />

instead of their own association or society<br />

was due not least to their renewed connections<br />

to the Nürnberg umbrella association. Klaus<br />

Heitmann was elected First Section Chairman.<br />

The young interest group saw its main task as<br />

improving the image of the long-neglected<br />

spring festival, which had been held at irregular<br />

intervals only up until 1955. In 1964, the fairground<br />

was relocated for the last time so far, due<br />

to a through route highway being built at the old<br />

location. The modern, of some 22,000 m 2 fairground<br />

has been the venue for both the spring<br />

festival and the large Volksfest to this day. Since<br />

1968, the event has been held at the same time<br />

as the Erlangen Bergkirchweih. Rescheduling<br />

the Volksfest to the earlier date during the Pentecost<br />

school holidays resulted in repeated complaints<br />

by the girls’ boarding schools adjoining<br />

the fairground – and that is no joke! A dark chapter<br />

in the Bayreuth Volksfest history was an accident<br />

on the “Tokaido-Express” in 1972, which hit<br />

the headlines in the national media. At the time<br />

of the incident, there were even discussions<br />

about stopping the Volksfest immediately which<br />

were, however, dismissed. The 1980s marked<br />

the beginning of the era of the event’s national<br />

appeal. Every year, the applications filled sever-<br />

WELCOME LETTER<br />

SPECIAL SECTION<br />

Dear showmen at the Bayreuth Volksfest,<br />

I would like to heartily welcome<br />

you to the town of Bayreuth and I<br />

am looking forward to the special<br />

and thrilling atmosphere you and<br />

your attractions will provide us<br />

with during the 11-day event,<br />

which I have always found highly<br />

fascinating. This year, there will<br />

be a unique mixture of “wellknown<br />

and proven” classics, as<br />

well as spectacular novelty attractions.<br />

I am proud to be able to<br />

welcome showmen from all over<br />

Germany to Bayreuth, coming<br />

from, among others locations,<br />

Munich, Augsburg, Dortmund,<br />

Düren, Stuttgart, Nürnberg and<br />

Kaiserslauten, providing, together<br />

with our Bayreuth showmen, a<br />

lot of hustle, bustle and partying on the fairground. A hearty welcome also<br />

goes out to our new beer tent operator, Bastian Schuhmann, who committed<br />

considerable investment into building up a brand new beer tent in<br />

Bayreuth.<br />

I have been a city councillor for the “Bayreuth Gemeinschaft” for 10 years; I<br />

am deeply rooted in my home town, and was elected as Mayor in late March.<br />

A family-oriented policy is of high importance to me. In my opinion, the kiddie<br />

programme is an indispensable feature at the fairground, and we should<br />

make a concerted effort to further develop it in the coming years. I am looking<br />

forward to meeting you all and to celebrating my Bayreuth Volksfest together<br />

with you.<br />

I earnestly hope for a good time and pleasant fairground weather, and I wish<br />

you all good financial results.<br />

Warm regards<br />

Brigitte Merk-Erbe<br />

Franconia. The beer tent<br />

operators repeatedly<br />

caused a furore: In 1961,<br />

Emil Most from<br />

Fürth/Bavaria presented by<br />

for the first time his establishment<br />

with a complete<br />

wooden floor, which was<br />

greeted with enthusiasm<br />

by the public. A year later,<br />

the Widmann era commenced,<br />

which continued on<br />

with various family members<br />

for several decades,<br />

An aerial view of the<br />

Bayreuth Volksfest, 1980<br />

and was also the roots for the “Miss-Volksfest-<br />

Wahl” contest that has proven popular to this<br />

day. In 2001, a long-standing dream came true<br />

for the Bayreuth Section, when the old entrance<br />

to the fairground was replaced by a new, modern<br />

and functional entrance gate. Another<br />

Bayreuth novelty in 2001 was the appearance of<br />

Uwe Hölzgen from Bonn with his “Bayernzelt”<br />

beer tent. He had to quit in the 2004 season however,<br />

as he was not able to produce the required<br />

documents and was replaced by Gerhard Widmann<br />

from Freising. To mark the centenary in<br />

2009, the Oxenzelt tent from the Murr firm<br />

opened its gates. In 2011, the organisers succeeded<br />

in holding the Upper Franconia exhibition<br />

– a consumer fair – simultaneously and in direct<br />

vicinity of the Volksfest for the first time,<br />

which proved a benefit for both sides.<br />

At the 49 th Spring Festival at Easter 2012, twenty-five<br />

showman attractions, including<br />

a large Ferris Wheel as<br />

well as the “Super Hupferl” cult<br />

ride, enticed visitors to the fairground.<br />

Having successfully<br />

participated in the Spring Festival<br />

in the last few years, Bastian<br />

Schuhmann made his<br />

début as beer tent patron at the<br />

large Volksfest this year. Moreover,<br />

a legend celebrated a<br />

birthday – Sepp Kainz has<br />

been participating in the<br />

Bayreuth Volksfest for 30 years<br />

and feels almost at home there.<br />

Another 'must' is the procession<br />

at the beginning of the<br />

event, which was revived some<br />

years ago and has steadily<br />

increased and enticed an<br />

increasing number of participants<br />

ever since.<br />

With his new tent, Bastian<br />

Schuhmann will present the largest Volksfest operation<br />

and a landmark. In a strong effort to make<br />

a successful début, he has put together an attractive<br />

music programme with regional crowd<br />

pullers. He will also continue with proven special<br />

events, such as Senior's Day, Family Day and the<br />

Miss Volksfest Contest. The organiser has not<br />

only shown, but also proven interest in long-term<br />

engagement: there will no longer be any self-service<br />

fridges at the snack booths and beer in bottles.<br />

Moreover, no hut or village gastronomy will<br />

be contracted. The selection of rides will leave<br />

nothing to be desired. The “<strong>Park</strong>our” (Aigner) will<br />

provide a speedy over-the-top ride. At its third<br />

venue, “The King” (Zinnecker) with looping effects<br />

and an impressive lighting system hopes for<br />

a strong visitor attendance, just as was the case<br />

in Frankfurt and Passau earlier. The Diebold family<br />

from Augsburg, who have participated at<br />

Bayreuth for decades, will offer<br />

three classic rides, a dodgem track,<br />

the trendy “Breakdance”, and the<br />

kiddie ride “Orient-Zauber”. Visitors<br />

loving Darkrides will have an impressive<br />

choice; namely the “Black<br />

Hole” (Schierenbeck) – a richly<br />

curved track ride with a large dome<br />

– along with the “Spuk” Ghost Ride<br />

(Sipkema-Lüthens) with coaster effects,<br />

shining with renewed beauty<br />

and sporting new decoration. Despite<br />

being a classic family ride, the<br />

“Schlittenfahrt” (Burgdorf) will invite<br />

its visitors to a speedy ride experience.<br />

The show booth sector will be<br />

represented by the “Mäusestadt”<br />

(Brambach-Luch), which joined the<br />

tour under new management only<br />

at Easter this year.<br />

With the “Anpfiff” (Göhring), a popular<br />

ball-throwing game will be presented<br />

again, and the “Veteranenclub”<br />

(Grauberger) has lost nothing of its fascination<br />

with the youngest visitors. The “drink and<br />

food” sector will be very well represented by firstclass<br />

local participants, such as the “Kaffeehaus”<br />

(Korn) and the classic menu at the “Imbiss<br />

Widmann”, as well as at “Täubers Imbiss” –<br />

to name but a few – and will leave nothing to be<br />

desired. All in all, visitors will be able to enjoy<br />

some 60 showman operations. Moreover, two<br />

brilliant fireworks displays will mark the opening<br />

and the closing of the 103 rd Bayreuth Volksfest.<br />

PROMINENT CELEBRITIES<br />

Alfred Emmrich (85) is one of the illustrious names in the history of the<br />

Bayreuth Volksfest. He has formed the section almost all his life, having<br />

being the Section Chairman for almost 25 years. On the occasion<br />

of the 50 th anniversary of the Bayreuth Section in 2005, he presented<br />

a 456-page chronicle, meticulously exploring events that occurred<br />

both before the public gaze and behind the scenes. He was succeeded<br />

as Chairman by Dieter Reil in 1995, and since 2001 Michael Korn<br />

has been the incumbent Chairman of the Bayreuth Section. Unforgettable<br />

partners from the town authorities are, among others, Jo Schumacher,<br />

head of the Tourist Office and Fairground Director Werner<br />

Geißler. Today, the head of the Marketing and Tourism Office, Jan<br />

Kempgens, as well as Fairground Director Marc Ermer, are in charge<br />

of the Bayreuth Volksfest – and very successfully so too! ■<br />

FRONLEICHNAMS<strong>KIRMES</strong> OBERHAUSEN-STERKRADE<br />

The event that combines traditional with modern attractions<br />

is a popular meeting point for the residents,<br />

who begin partying even on the opening<br />

Wednesday evening. In former times, this day was<br />

called “Fair Christmas Eve”, as the showman attractions<br />

remained closed except for the gastronomic operations.<br />

Nevertheless, there were always thousands<br />

of visitors already on the march. This was indeed a very<br />

special evening for the Oberhausen residents. However,<br />

they were quickly joined by an ever increasing<br />

number of “non-resident visitors”, and it was not long<br />

before many guests wondered why the rest of the fairground<br />

was still closed. The is the reason that the Fronleichnamskirmes<br />

opens as early as the Wednesday afternoon<br />

these days, and this additional opening day<br />

has developed very well. True, the Oberhausen residents<br />

no longer celebrate by themselves, but now assuredly<br />

celebrate along with guests from near and far.<br />

There are always fervent discussions about the quality<br />

and effectiveness of fairground posters, yet it must be<br />

said that the Oberhausen fairground poster is well<br />

worth talking about every year. It may indeed well be<br />

the most beautiful fairground poster in North-Rhine<br />

Westphalia – perhaps even all over Germany – and is<br />

modified somewhat every year to show the current ride<br />

and Funhouse attractions. Even by design alone, the<br />

poster succeeds in whetting the appetite for a visit to<br />

the city centre fair. After the aforementioned happyhour<br />

in Albert Ritter's beer garden, the “Fronleichnamskirmes<br />

2012” will be officially opened in the presence<br />

of the Oberhausen authorities and the fairground<br />

organisers. As is tradition, many Volksfest organisers<br />

from the neighbouring cities will also be present at the<br />

opening. However, during the traditional stroll across<br />

the fairground they will not merely 'talk shop' – sociability<br />

stands decidedly in the foreground.<br />

Saturday will once again be entirely dedicated to the<br />

youngest fairground visitors. Under the motto “Hits for<br />

Kids”, younger visitors will be able to enjoy numerous<br />

special actions and entertainment, such as a kiddie<br />

make-up event and stilt-walkers forming animals from<br />

balloons. This is not only popular with children. A brilliant<br />

fireworks display on Monday evening will – unfortunately<br />

– herald the end of the Fronleichnamskirmes.<br />

For the second time, Sina Illman from the Oberhausen<br />

city authorities is in charge of the organisation and the<br />

fairground layout. This year, she was once again able<br />

to put together an attractive fairground with five novelties<br />

for Sterkrade, and a ride première for North-Rhine<br />

Westphalia. Let’s take a theoretical stroll across the<br />

“Bellevue” Ferris Wheel (Bruch), which will once again<br />

be built up on the car park next to the Technisches<br />

Rathaus. On the site located further along in the direction<br />

of the Eugen-zur-Nieden-Ring, the “Amazonas”<br />

Walkthrough construction from Agtsch will make its<br />

début, and in front of the Hirschhügel, Deinert's “X-<br />

Factor” will provide visitors with swinging fun. Further<br />

along and in front of the bunker, the “Große Geisterbahn”<br />

from Schütze will be built up. Turning right towards<br />

the Hirschhügel standing in front of the Ghost<br />

Ride, visitors will encounter the dodgem track from<br />

Petter, flanked on both sides by two novelties for Oberhausen;<br />

Goetzke’s “Rocket” and Oberschelp’s “High<br />

Impress”. An indispensable must in this location is the<br />

large “Raupenbahn” from Steiger/Buchholz. The<br />

“Breakdance” (Bruch) and the large water ride “Auf<br />

Manitus Spuren” (Heitmann / Schneider) will once<br />

again be located in proximity to the Hirschhügel. With<br />

Kaiser’s “High Energy” built up on the small market, a<br />

spectacular major ride will return to Sterkrade, and<br />

Kreft’s “Love Express” will await the visitors on its regular<br />

site. The redesigned Neumarkt will be prominently<br />

occupied this year by the “Voodoo Jumper” from<br />

Schäfer celebrating its première, and Bruch’s “Spinning<br />

Racer” will be built up in the middle of the market.<br />

The lengthways sides of the small market will accommodate<br />

Markmann’s large swing, “Nessy”, Wendler’s<br />

“Wellenflug” and Schütze’s “Schloss Dracula” Ghost<br />

Ride. In the direction of the main railway station, visitors<br />

will cross the Zilianplatz, where visitors will encounter<br />

the family ride “<strong>Circus</strong> <strong>Circus</strong>” (Bruch), the “Diamond”<br />

dodgem track (Hartkopf/Osselmann), and the<br />

“Revolution” (Kinzler/Nickel). The débutante still missing,<br />

Schmidt’s “Transformer”, will cause furore in front<br />

of the station.<br />

HALVER<br />

Text:<br />

On 8 th June, the Halver Fair, attracting<br />

a large number of locals<br />

and guests from the surrounding<br />

region to the small town in the<br />

Märkisch district in North-Rhine<br />

Westphalia every year, will once<br />

again open its gates for four<br />

days. Punctually at 6 p.m. the fair<br />

will be officially opened with the<br />

traditional tapping of the keg by<br />

the Mayor accompanied, naturally,<br />

by music.<br />

The rides will make their rounds in<br />

the city centre and the tempting<br />

aroma of roasted almonds and<br />

popcorn will be wafting through the<br />

streets even on the opening Friday<br />

afternoon. For decades, the Halver<br />

Fair has been celebrated where a<br />

fair event belongs; not on the outskirts<br />

of the city away from the hustle<br />

and bustle of daily life, but right<br />

in the city centre, where it can give<br />

full reign to its essential fascination,<br />

and evoke strong emotions.<br />

This fairground tradition is consciously<br />

preserved in Halver. During<br />

building operations and construction<br />

work to change city<br />

squares, the fair event has always<br />

been taken into consideration.<br />

Flower tubs and street signs are<br />

simply relocated for the fair event.<br />

Some 120 showman attractions<br />

have been selected and engaged<br />

out of the more than 400 applications<br />

received, clearly proving that<br />

the Halver Fair is held in high esteem<br />

among the showmen. As a result,<br />

it is not always easy to make a<br />

perfect choice and to avoid an excessive<br />

“over-deployment”. An increase<br />

in the number of rides does<br />

not necessarily result in higher visitor<br />

attendance and a related increase<br />

in turnover. Halver will once<br />

again present a classic family fair<br />

with a carefully chosen number of<br />

ride and funhouse attractions, offering<br />

something for everybody.<br />

The highlight of this year’s fair will<br />

be the “Crazy Coaster” (de Voer).<br />

An indispensable attraction is the “Breakdance” from<br />

Bonner, serving as a meeting point for the younger<br />

generation. Other attractions presented will be the<br />

“Drive In” from Schmidt, the Musik Express from Scheffer,<br />

Krameyer’s “Big Monster”, Mölter‘s “Street Style” Miami,<br />

the “Sky Trip” from Hartmann, Scheele’s “Top-<br />

Spin”, the Simulator from Hortmeier and Mölter‘s “Super<br />

Tower” family Freefall Tower. Moreover, Göbel’s Ferris<br />

wheel will once again provide the visitors with a beautiful<br />

view across the city centre.<br />

On Sunday, there will be the popular 1-Euro-Day at the<br />

drink booths, and Monday will be the designated Family Day with considerably<br />

reduced prices. The Halver Fair will be closed with a fireworks<br />

display on Monday evening.<br />

WUPPERTAL MEGA-<strong>KIRMES</strong><br />

A LOOK FORWARD<br />

Text: Michael Petersen<br />

From 15 th to 18 th June, a “mega” fair will be<br />

held all around the stadium at the zoo. Yet despite<br />

the epithet “mega”, it may not actually<br />

be so “mega” after all, compared to the Düsseldorf<br />

or the Crange events. Yet by Bergisches<br />

Land standards, it probably deserves<br />

this title.<br />

The name of the event has caused a great furore<br />

in Wuppertal. The local press seized upon the<br />

name, and for the first time representatives from<br />

all Wuppertal daily newspapers, the local radio<br />

station, and even the national Bild tabloid,<br />

contacted the Wuppertal Showman Association.<br />

The preliminary short reports in the newspapers<br />

have already aroused the Wuppertal residents’<br />

curiosity. A survey of the new site and the size of<br />

the fair, carried out by the Westdeutsche Zeitung<br />

prior to the event, showed that the new concept<br />

has been well received, and that Wuppertal residents<br />

still love to go to “their” fair, even though<br />

they have so far preferred to visit the large events<br />

in Haan, Gevelsberg, Schwelm and, naturally,<br />

the Rheinwiesen in Düsseldorf. An event of similar<br />

quality is now to be held also in Wuppertal.<br />

Volksfest events are certainly the best – and effectively<br />

free – advertisement for the city itself,<br />

and Wuppertal is in need of a high-quality fair<br />

like this, as there are already more than enough<br />

boring and low-quality city festivals lacking any<br />

flair. The fair is organised by the Wuppertal<br />

Showman Association, presided over by Chairman<br />

Peter Fuhrmann. For a long time there had<br />

been a search for a new location for the event<br />

within the city borders. Due to Wuppertal’s topographical<br />

location, this was quite a challenge,<br />

and all the more so, as the overall demands were<br />

not exactly of a low order. The site was to be centrally<br />

located and to be familiar to every Wuppertal<br />

resident. Moreover, it had to have a good<br />

infrastructure, optimum public transport connections,<br />

and a sufficient number of car parks in<br />

the direct vicinity. Being centrally located on the<br />

B7 federal highway (the city’s arterial road) and<br />

providing several free spacious car parks all<br />

around the stadium, the site at the zoo meets<br />

these requirements perfectly. The fairground is<br />

also perfectly visible from the city's cable car; after<br />

all, some 80,000 people use this means of<br />

transport that is surely unique throughout the<br />

world. In addition, the stadium directly adjoins<br />

the Wuppertal zoo, where the little polar bear<br />

Anori, is currently a new crowd favourite, having<br />

attracted some 17,000 visitors to the zoo during<br />

the Easter period. The fairground is also easily<br />

accessible by public transport. According to a<br />

new advertising concept, large motif posters will<br />

be put up at all cable car stations, which will be<br />

supplemented by 500 posters throughout the<br />

suburbs. Advertisements will not only be placed<br />

in all daily newspapers, but will also be extended<br />

to regional media. For the first time thousands<br />

of flyers will be distributed, and currently negotiations<br />

are being undertaken with the local Wuppertal<br />

radio stations for promotion. Two additional<br />

actions are to entice an even larger number<br />

of visitors. On Friday evening, visitors will be<br />

welcomed by a magnificent fireworks display,<br />

with specialists from the Nico firm producing the<br />

latest effects in the evening sky. Monday will be<br />

the Family Day with considerably reduced<br />

prices. Stilt-walkers and other perambulatory<br />

acts will offer additional surprises to the visitors.<br />

By the way, the date of the event has been fixed<br />

to fit perfectly into the league schedule of the<br />

Wuppertal sports club. Moreover, hardly any<br />

competing fair event will be held in the direct<br />

vicinity on this weekend. This latter fact was duly<br />

reflected in the number of applications received,<br />

from which Peter Fuhrman put together an attractive<br />

fair event, including spectacular ride attractions<br />

as well as a large multi-storey Ghost<br />

Ride. In addition to the stadium grounds, the organiser<br />

also hired the cable car station forecourt,<br />

where the chain ride from Fuhrmann and the<br />

large kiddie ride (Kretz) will make their rounds.<br />

With the “Geisterstadt” from Fellerhoff built up on<br />

the stadium grounds, a multi-storey attraction<br />

will appear in Wuppertal for the first time after a<br />

long break. Moreover, Wingender’s “Air Crash”<br />

will be the first-time appearance of this type of a<br />

ride in the cable car city. Oberschelp’s “High Impress”<br />

will also make its début in Wuppertal. Other<br />

rides presented will be the “Hip Hop Fly” from<br />

Noack and Kreft‘s “Love Express”, and younger<br />

visitors will be able to enjoy the “Miniskooter”<br />

(Fellerhoff), the “Saturn-Helikopter-Flieger”<br />

(Bauer), and the “Walking-Waterballs” from<br />

Kretz. The ride contingent will be complemented<br />

by a harmonious and varied mixture of concession<br />

stalls, and well-kept restaurants will invite<br />

visitors to linger and enjoy. Additionally, there<br />

will be many seating possibilities on the bank of<br />

the Wupper, and the fairground is to be decorated<br />

with rows of colourful pennants. The “mega<br />

fair” is definitely to become the meeting point for<br />

the locals and many non-resident visitors. One<br />

can only hope for pleasant weather, and for a<br />

faultless reception of the new fair event. ■<br />

Clear the ring<br />

for “Freddys <strong>Circus</strong>”<br />

On Thursday 26 th April, Freddy<br />

Zinnecker’s new multi-storey<br />

Walkthrough construction<br />

“Freddys <strong>Circus</strong>” was officially<br />

inaugurated at the Maidult in his<br />

home town of Passau, and just a<br />

day later it was a matter of “Clear<br />

the ring, ladies and gentlemen!”<br />

Freddy’s <strong>Circus</strong><br />

tion is now the next step in the<br />

showman career of Freddy Zinnecker.<br />

When the former owner,<br />

H.P. Maier, put the largest Funhouse<br />

in Switzerland up for sale<br />

Having already acquired experience with the (built by Barbisan, Italy) last year, there were many<br />

“Hopser” and the “Frisbee” ride, as well as the interested parties. Eventually, Freddy Zinnecker<br />

family’s Funhouse attractions (“Geistervilla” and succeeded in purchasing the construction. He immediately<br />

commissioned a concept for a new<br />

“Halloween”), the 4-storey Walkthrough construc-<br />

theme – and the family council quickly agreed on<br />

the theme “<strong>Circus</strong>”! This decision was not simply<br />

a matter of whim, as the Zinnecker family’s roots<br />

26


with the new theme, also including the name sign,<br />

was drawn up by the Afaw firm. The acute observer<br />

will not miss the portrait of the original big top of<br />

the circus of Freddy Zinnecker's grand-parents on<br />

the construction.<br />

Before visitors reach the Funhouse, they have to<br />

negotiate the experience course in front of the attraction.<br />

Inside, visitors are confronted with all types<br />

of effects and obstacles from the 1st to the 4 th<br />

Singing, playing the accordion<br />

and inviting visitors into<br />

“Freddys <strong>Circus</strong>”: the moving<br />

clown in the front area<br />

can be found in a circus family. Freddy’s grandparents<br />

for example, still toured their own circus,<br />

“Medrano”. The overall concept for the redesign<br />

“Freddy <strong>Circus</strong>” was<br />

inaugurated by Pastor Martin<br />

Fuchs in Passau. Left: Alwin<br />

trick fountains, rolling and<br />

the entire experience runs back<br />

down again (alternatively, they<br />

PREMIÉRE<br />

The swinging clown<br />

ground level, visitors are awaited by another rolling<br />

barrel and a wet finale, due to air humidifiers and<br />

fountains that spurt unexpectedly. “We guarantee<br />

100 percent fun!” said Funhouse owner Freddy<br />

Zinnecker. Fun is also provided to Volksfest visitors<br />

who do not enter the construction. For example, in<br />

throwing refuse into a seemingly unspectacular<br />

waste bin in front of the construction, they are in for<br />

quite a surprise! Moreover, the portable clown’s toilet<br />

KIDDIE RIDES<br />

MÄRCHENLANDEXPRESS<br />

In addition to the coasters<br />

“High Explosive” and “Die<br />

wilden 50er”, as well as a couple<br />

of snack and drink booths,<br />

the showman enterprise Vorlop<br />

VSB from Hannover has also<br />

been operating the “Märchenlandexpress”<br />

since 1995.<br />

Vorlop’s Märchenlandexpress at<br />

the Rostock Easter Market<br />

The kiddie railway with a 600 mm gauge was built<br />

by the Geräte- und Fahrzeugbau Erwin Melzer<br />

from Schnedinghausen/Lower Saxony in 1968. The<br />

drive system of the locomotive (type 901) was<br />

delivered by the Paul Schwingel firm from Leverkusen,<br />

which had specialised in the construction of<br />

park tracks at that time. Previous owners were,<br />

among others, the showman company Jost from<br />

Worms, which presented the Märchenlandexpress<br />

mainly on the fairgrounds in Mannheim and the<br />

surrounding region. The largest version of the kiddie<br />

railway has ground measurements of 10.55 x<br />

19.55 metres. Putting the locomotive and the four<br />

wagons on the track requires a crane. Despite the<br />

robust construction and various extensions,<br />

relocating the kiddie railway requires only one<br />

transport vehicle. At the Rostock Ostermarkt, the<br />

kiddie railway has become a popular landmark on<br />

the Universitätsplatz. During operation, the typical<br />

rattling of the train and the clanging of the wagons'<br />

bells can be heard from quite a distance. The train,<br />

when setting into motion, makes the kiddies' eyes<br />

shine. Due to the size of the train, adults can also<br />

take a ride in the Märchenlandexpress. During the<br />

ride, passengers always enjoy the animated fairytale<br />

figures to be seen around the construction. The<br />

railway can also be built up with a backflash with<br />

running lighting. Moreover, a tunnel is available, however,<br />

this could not be built up at the Rostock Ostermarkt,<br />

due to limited space. Power is transferred to<br />

the locomotive engine via a “3 rd rail”, which is isolated<br />

by a cover and mounted to the outside of the inner<br />

rail, and carbon brushes. Due to this innovative<br />

power supply solution, the kiddie railway no longer<br />

requires the otherwise usual mast in the middle of the<br />

construction, from which power used to be transferred<br />

to the locomotive via a collector and a trailing<br />

cable. Additionally, it was possible to enlarge the former<br />

track circle by laying out running parallel straight<br />

track sections.<br />

Probably no other ride has<br />

Bartered Bride”, which was<br />

performed in Graz, Austria in<br />

in 1926 served as an<br />

impressive stage setting.<br />

original condition<br />

storage on a property for some years. Accompanied<br />

by Christian Bader, in charge of stage technology<br />

in Graz, Christian Loos finally headed to Kaiserslautern<br />

to inspect the nostalgic ride. They first met<br />

up with the owners of the ride, the Weiss family, and<br />

then with the object of desire, the very Caterpillar<br />

Ride. Christian Loos recalls, “We found vehicles and<br />

baggage vans that had, apparently, not been<br />

moved for a long time. On opening the wagon doors,<br />

we were immediately enchanted by the play of<br />

colours of the decoration elements. That was exactly<br />

what we had been looking for!” Both sides agreed<br />

upon a purchase price,<br />

and just a couple of<br />

days later the ride was<br />

loaded onto an<br />

articulated lorry and<br />

transported to an old<br />

industrial building in<br />

Graz, Austria, where it was restored piece by piece,<br />

adapting the Caterpillar and guaranteeing the performance<br />

on stage required, among others, the renewal<br />

of the pillars and expert welding at various<br />

sections. The Caterpillar Ride's appearance on the<br />

Graz opera stage went smoothly.<br />

In the meantime, Christian Loos researched the history<br />

of the attraction. Thanks to the support from<br />

Hans-Joachim Berweiler from Germany, he was<br />

able to find out a number of details. Even though<br />

there are no written records for the years 1926 to<br />

1953, the ride was apparently built by Fritz Bothmann<br />

in Gotha in 1926. Between 1934 and 1954, the<br />

ride may well not have appeared at any Volksfest<br />

events, due to restrictions imposed on the showman<br />

industry during the Third Reich. In 1953, the<br />

Cologne showman Wilhelm Schiffer purchased the<br />

ride and toured it in Cologne and the surrounding<br />

region. It is said that Schiffer was a patriarch of the<br />

briefly sat in the paybox, played the Radetzky<br />

March (usually chasing away the visitors), smoked<br />

two cigars, and then disappeared again. Only after<br />

that were the staff allowed to play Rock’n Roll<br />

records. Another Caterpillar owner discovered was<br />

Günther Bremer from Lüneburg, who owned the ride<br />

from 1970 on. Under his management, the ride was<br />

completely overhauled in 1971 or 1972, including<br />

the redesign of the rounding board, chaises and the<br />

lighting system. It is not known whether or not the<br />

ride was directly purchased by the Weiss family later<br />

on. At the end of its unusual stage appearance in<br />

Austria, the ride was once again put up for sale.<br />

According to Christian Loos, a private buyer from<br />

abroad has now been found.<br />

the ride was initially operated without<br />

Not only has the ride been continually on tour be a real crowd puller. Thhe convertible Waltzer<br />

requirements of some 30 kW. Later on, Topf de-<br />

years ago, technically highly talented showman signed and built several roofs in different forms thus<br />

Günter Topf from Mansfeld in the southern Harz Uplands<br />

built the Waltzer ride according to his drafts The small centre piece was replaced by the first 3-<br />

together with several accomplished handicraft en-<br />

axle centre trailer built in the GDR. Completely new<br />

and virtually sensational at that time was the<br />

completely non-retractable roof frame equipped<br />

with a hydraulic lifting device loaded on the centre<br />

trailer. Moreover, a new paybox, also equipped with<br />

a hydraulic lifting device, was installed above the<br />

centre trailer’s front axle. A crane was installed for<br />

the assembly of the arms, which was later removed<br />

by the subsequent owner, Frank Exner.<br />

After further modifications carried out by Günter<br />

Topf, such as the large “Holiday Star” name sign<br />

and an awning above the entrance, the Waltzer ride<br />

was hardly recognisable by the late 1980s. Topf<br />

surprised the public with another Musik Expressstyle<br />

change and a completely new visual redesign<br />

of the “Holiday Star”, presenting the ride with a new<br />

rounding board and a wide, straight entrance with<br />

two corner pillars. After German reunification, an<br />

property. From August 1990, he toured the “Hollywood<br />

Swing” and shortly after that a “Polyp”. Later<br />

on, he converted his enterprise, touring a ballcannon<br />

for a couple of years.<br />

Shortly after having been put into storage, the “Holiday<br />

Star” was resurrected and operated by Günter<br />

Topf’s brother Norbert for two years. In 1992, Günter<br />

Topf eventually sold the construction to Frank<br />

Exner, who has remained true to the ride to this day.<br />

“The public continues to loyally return to the Waltzer<br />

ride, and it has even regained popularity among<br />

young people these days”, said Frank Exner, and<br />

further expounds “if the favourable visitor attendance<br />

of the last few years continues, our son Marcel<br />

will take over the ride in the future. As it has been<br />

very well designed and expertly built by Günter<br />

Topf I do not have any misgivings about it. We have<br />

now been touring the ride for twenty years without<br />

any major technical problems. Despite a<br />

special test procedure, the ride was<br />

successfully approved by the TÜV a couple<br />

of weeks ago”. Relocating the ride requires<br />

two transport vehicles (1 centre<br />

trailer and 1 baggage van), and it can be<br />

easily built up by Frank and Marcel within<br />

two days. Due to the wide, straight entrance, the<br />

ride has ground measurements of 16 x 21 metres,<br />

a height of 5.20 metres including the name sign,<br />

and electrical requirements of 54 kW.<br />

Originally the rotational speed of the motor was<br />

controlled by a water starter, which was replaced<br />

by a drive position regulator later on. A counter shaft<br />

gear transfers the rotation to the pin rim pinion. The<br />

ride’s sixteen gondolas with high headrests accommodate<br />

three children or two adults each. Due<br />

to the slanted track, the gondolas rotate on their<br />

own axis during the ride.<br />

By a clever shifting of the upper body, the rotation<br />

of the gondolas can be further increased, thus leading<br />

to a very racy ride. The light strips are equipped<br />

with a series of lights (from GDR times) and standard<br />

capped bulbs.<br />

Even though they considerably increase power<br />

consumption, Frank Exner deliberately waives a<br />

change to modern, power-saving LED lights.<br />

“Thanks to the “warm” light from ordinary light<br />

bulbs, nostalgic rides still provide a very special<br />

flair to this day. That’s why I will use the existing lighting<br />

and do without LED lighting for as long as possible.”<br />

After a perfect opening weekend, a cold spell<br />

ultimately resulted in the number of visitors at the<br />

Hamburger Frühlingsdom (23 rd March to 22 nd April)<br />

decreasing by 400,000 vis-à-vis the previous year.<br />

Nevertheless, visitor attendance amounted to a<br />

fantastic 3.6 million visitors.<br />

The Dom visitors were able to encounter many novelties,<br />

not only among the major attractions but also<br />

among the kiddie, sales and gastronomic operations.<br />

There were as many as four Dom debutants from the<br />

Funhouse and Ghost Ride sector, such as Rasch’s<br />

“Alpenhotel”, which impressed many a visitor with its<br />

height and design as it celebrated its German première.<br />

Other novelties were the “Krumm & Schief Bau”<br />

(Hartmann), “Burg des Grauens” (Burghardt) and the<br />

A LOOK BACK<br />

German première: the<br />

“Alpen-Hotel” from Rasch<br />

compact “Halloween” Ghost Ride (R. Rasch). Together<br />

with the other Ghost Ride and Funhouse<br />

constructions, this sector was probably somewhat<br />

excessively represented. The event was<br />

largely enhanced by various new arrivals from the<br />

gastronomic and kiddie ride sector, with the large<br />

number of first-time approvals being not only<br />

surprising for the visitors, but also for the regular<br />

participants. The Dom skyline was characterised<br />

by towering attractions, such as the “Fünfer-Looping”<br />

(Barth), Steiger Ferris Wheel, “Konga”<br />

(Küchenmeister), “Sky Dance” (Nülken), and the<br />

“High Energy” (Kaiser). In the special area, the<br />

“Drachenmarkt” made its first-time appearance,<br />

and the first “Dom-parade” held, as always, on the<br />

first opening Wednesday was very well attended.<br />

With more than 14,000 downloads, the new “Dom-<br />

App” for mobile phones, providing an interactive<br />

Dom site map in addition to information on every<br />

single showman attraction, was also very well received<br />

according to the organiser.<br />

Freezing temperatures took numerous Easter<br />

Volksfest events in North-Rhine Westphalia by surprise.<br />

At temperatures that were sometimes lower<br />

than at Christmas time, the fair events suffered<br />

from a noticeable reduction in visitor<br />

attendance. While it was “merely” cold<br />

on Saturday and Easter Sunday, there<br />

was continuous rain on the otherwise<br />

strong-turnover Easter Monday. As a result,<br />

only a handful of tough fairground<br />

visitors dared to attend one of the many<br />

Easter events in the region. Due to<br />

unsettled weather also after the Easter<br />

days, many showmen suffered heavy<br />

losses.<br />

out in a 'blinded' zigzag course that offers visitors new<br />

impressions every year. Due to regular attractions being<br />

relocated at regular intervals and new attractions<br />

being engaged, every Easter Fair provides a new overall<br />

image, as well as exciting hours. All the top-end and<br />

corner sites on the fairground were prominently<br />

occupied. Despite the new, additional escape routes<br />

eing appropriately but discreetly signposted, they<br />

were still clearly visible for every visitor, yet the overall<br />

visual appearance was not affected by these safety<br />

Wuppertal<br />

The Wuppertal Easter Fair on the fairground on the<br />

Carnaper Straße was also held form 31 st March to 15 th<br />

April. The event was organised by the IG Schausteller,<br />

along with the marketers and their Chairman, Michael<br />

Müller. Unfortunately, they did not succeed in engaging<br />

sufficient ride and funhouse attractions to fill the<br />

whole Carnaper Platz. The only attractions built up<br />

were the two local dodgem tracks from Fuhrmann and<br />

Hartmann, the “Jaguar Trip” from Hudalla and Jansen’s<br />

“Breakdance”. With the “Rainbow” (Klinkerfuß) at least<br />

one major ride could be contracted for Wuppertal. The<br />

younger visitors enjoyed the kiddie rides from Kretz, a<br />

trampoline, and “Walking Waterballs”. Unfortunately,<br />

the organisers had forgotten to announce the two<br />

Family Days on the posters put up in the city area.<br />

Bergheim<br />

To mark the occasion of the new large Bergheim Fair,<br />

the rides made their rounds for the first time in spring<br />

from 7 th to 15 th April. The event was held at the Aachener<br />

Tor, on the site where the Hubertusmarkt takes<br />

place in autumn. On the last opening day, there was<br />

also an open shopping Sunday and a spring festival in<br />

the city centre. Large parts of the area were occupied<br />

by attractive fairground attractions from all sectors,<br />

which were built up along a classic circuit course. The<br />

large Bergheim Fair was officially opened by Mayor<br />

Maria Pfordt at 6 p.m. on Saturday, and a brilliant fireworks<br />

display painted the Bergheim evening sky in the<br />

most dazzling colours at 9 p.m. The Family Day on<br />

Thursday enticed visitors with price reductions of up<br />

to 50 percent, and a second fireworks display marked<br />

the end of the fair on the Sunday evening. The following<br />

ride and funhouse attractions were built up at the<br />

first large Bergheim Fair: Lupp's dodgem track, the<br />

“Adventure Shuttle” simulator, Bügler’s family coaster<br />

“Silbermine”, the “Experience” (v. d. Marel), Musik Express<br />

(Rasch), “Breakdance” (Piontek), Gormann‘s<br />

“Liberty Wheel” Ferris wheel, and a mini-dodgem<br />

(Thoma).<br />

Hagen<br />

The Hagen Showman Association laid out the Easter<br />

Fair on the Otto-Ackermann-Platz (from 7 th to 15 th April)<br />

with a good mixture of well-known and popular attractions,<br />

as well as a sprinkling of novelties. This year, the<br />

event was very intensively advertised. In addition to<br />

striking posters of various sizes,<br />

daily radio commercials were a<br />

particularly effective means of advertising.<br />

More than 60 commercials<br />

were aired by the Hagen and<br />

the Ennepetal radio stations. The<br />

two local radio stations broadcast<br />

live and interesting reports from<br />

the fairground even during the<br />

build up and throughout the event.<br />

Three special events attracted additional<br />

numbers of visitors to the<br />

fairground. On the Family Day with<br />

reduced prices, younger visitors<br />

enjoyed free kiddie make-up events as well as balloons.<br />

A fireworks display was held on Friday, and during<br />

the “Ladies Time” on Saturday, women were offered<br />

rides at fares reduced to just 1 Euro. The organiser<br />

had relocated the regular participants to give the<br />

fairground a completely new appearance. Presented<br />

on the course circuit were: the dodgem track from<br />

Alexius, Eul’s Musik Express, the “Schwanenflieger”<br />

from Hartmann, Deinert‘s “X-Factor”, the “Shaker” from<br />

Tröger/Foulon, the “Breakdance” (Klinge), “Tal der<br />

Könige” (Bügler), simulator (Zinnecker), and the Ferris<br />

wheel from Vallentgoed. Unfortunately, the latter was<br />

built up on the lowest site of the fairground, where it<br />

was not able to present its striking height to full advantage.<br />

The kiddie ride “Sahara Rally”, which was<br />

also presented at the event, has changed ownership:<br />

Gerd Meeß handed the ride over (originally built by<br />

Reinhold Pistorius from Saarbrücken), to his daughter<br />

Franziska and her husband Daniel Gusik, who had already<br />

overhauled the ride during the winter break,.<br />

ISERLOHN<br />

The Showman Association retained the successful layout<br />

of the Seilersee-fairground also at this year’s Easter<br />

Fair (from 7 th to 15 th April). The winding circuit offers<br />

a number of top-end and corner sites, which were all<br />

appealingly occupied. Due to empty coffers, the laying<br />

out of paving on the fairground that has been<br />

planned for many years now, is apparently no longer<br />

a matter for discussion. Visitors, it seems, could not<br />

care less – after all they do not know the fairground any<br />

other way. This year, the entrance was laid out even<br />

Coming from Holland<br />

to Bochum: “No Limit” and<br />

“Beach Party”<br />

Layout mistake in Aachen:<br />

a sales booth was put up “in<br />

the face of” the multi-level ride<br />

more appealingly than in previous years. A classic<br />

fairground organ playing opposite the entrance gate<br />

got the public tuned into the fair event. The Family Day<br />

with reduced prices, kiddie make-up events and<br />

Punch and Judy shows was very well received.<br />

BOCHUM<br />

In the last few years, a visit to the Bochum Easter Fair<br />

at the Castroper Straße offered very little fun. The once<br />

largest Easter Fair in the Ruhr region quickly hit rock<br />

bottom. In the good old days, there had been a large<br />

course circuit with a cross row that had always been<br />

occupied by the latest attractions, but that is a thing of<br />

the past. This year (7 th to 15 th April), in addition to the<br />

“Beach Party” – an exotic ride one can say, from the<br />

Netherlands –visitors were able to enjoy even a modest<br />

attraction, the “No Limits” that also hailed from this<br />

same neighbouring country. The major ride was<br />

presented without any decoration though, and was<br />

joined by the “Musik Express” from Krabbe, and Petter’s<br />

dodgem track. The layout of the fairground and<br />

the arrangement of the few ride attractions were not<br />

very compelling. Rather to the contrary in fact, it was<br />

rather an unappealing series of attractions placed next<br />

to each other. Particularly annoying was a heavily<br />

soiled quad track from Austria.<br />

Aachen<br />

The Öcher Bend has been a highquality<br />

event offering a large number<br />

of attractions for many years<br />

now. Many showmen already report<br />

it to be the Easter Fair with the<br />

highest turnover in North-Rhine<br />

Westphalia. Visitors entering this<br />

year’s fairground (from 7 th to 23 rd<br />

April) through the colourful entrance<br />

gate magnificently<br />

illuminated after sundown, were<br />

immediately fascinated by a terrific<br />

skyline with four attractions<br />

looming higher than 45 metres.<br />

The mega Swing “Artistico” from<br />

Köhrmann, celebrating its première<br />

at the event, was joined by<br />

the “Booster Maxxx” (Hoefnagels/Denies),<br />

“Wonder Wheel”<br />

Ferris Wheel (Bruch/Schneider)<br />

and the giant chain ride “Around<br />

the World” (v.d. Beek/Dauphin),<br />

and also the two dodgem tracks<br />

(Grass and Loosen) and the<br />

“Beach Party” Musik Express<br />

(Milz/v. d. Bosch), which rank<br />

among the event's fixtures. Moreover,<br />

the “Top Spin” from Scheele<br />

spun its passengers upside down, while the classics<br />

such as the “Octopussy” (Markmann), “Breakdance”<br />

(Bruch), “Südsee-Wellen” from Barth, “Bayern<br />

Rutsch’n” (Schierenbeck), the family coaster “Willy der<br />

Wurm” (Roos), and the “Venezianische Pferdekarussell”<br />

(Langenberg) offered family-friendly ride fun. With<br />

a sales stall bereft of decoration and light being placed<br />

directly in front of it, the horse carousel failed to make<br />

its usual visual impression.<br />

This arrangement was really very annoying! One could<br />

easily ask the question as to whether there were really<br />

no other possibilities. A ride in Bruch’s “Spinning<br />

Racer” guaranteed pure coaster fun. The show and fun<br />

sector, which enjoys a high rating in popularity in<br />

Aachen, was prominently occupied by Hinzen’s<br />

“Haunted Mansion” representing the Ghost Ride sector,<br />

along with the “Lach+Freu-Haus” (Distel), “Crazy<br />

Outback” (Hofmann/Jehn), Sturm’s “Kristall Palast”<br />

and Lemoine’s “Mäuse-<strong>Circus</strong>”. Moreover, younger<br />

visitors were able to enjoy as many as 9 kiddie rides.<br />

A total of 24 games booths, 5 shooting galleries, 1 fortune<br />

teller, 23 gastronomic operations, 14 sweets stalls<br />

and 17 sales stalls rounded off the cornucopia of attractions.<br />

The Öcher Bend was accompanied by an<br />

ample selection of special actions. A novelty feature<br />

was the “Kiddie Birthday at the Bend”, a special kind<br />

of birthday party including a programme, entertainment,<br />

and catering. The voucher booklet was Euros 14<br />

per person with vouchers for four rides in kiddie rides<br />

and free choice of two games booths. In addition there<br />

was a bag of popcorn and a toffee apple or candy<br />

floss.<br />

At the end of the party, guests were served fried chips<br />

in the red and white variations (“mayo” or ketchup) and<br />

a drink. An excellent event it was too! Wednesdays<br />

were Family Days with heavily reduced prices, and on<br />

the Ladies Day on 13 th April a free gingerbread heart<br />

was available for those of the fairer sex. On 14 th and<br />

21 st April, a music programme was presented, and the<br />

second opening Tuesday was the designated “Students<br />

Day”. On the closing day of the event the showmen<br />

thanked the public with a brilliant fireworks display.<br />

FRANKENTHAL<br />

A LOOK BACK<br />

Text & Photo:<br />

Norman Vogt<br />

The Frankenthal Spring Market opened on 31 st<br />

March and closed on 9 th April, Easter Monday<br />

this year.<br />

The attractions built up on the fairground were the<br />

“Magic” (Spangenberger), “Revolution” (Kinzler-<br />

Nickel), “Shake” (Blum), “Taiga Jet” (Spangenberger)<br />

and the “Crazy Halloween” (Tedesco). The<br />

centre of the fairground was graced by a rusticstyle<br />

beer garden serving an ample choice of drinks<br />

and food. One could however have easily wondered<br />

as to why a gastronomic operation this size sold<br />

neither coffee nor a standard soft drink, like “Cola<br />

Light”! In addition to a dodgem track, there were<br />

also many, often very appealing kiddie rides. The<br />

Family Day, with fare prices usually reduced by half,<br />

was once again held in the middle of the week.<br />

Therefore, visitors were completely baffled and<br />

annoyed by a showman taking a proud Euro 2,- per<br />

ride on the Family Day, despite the fact of his presenting<br />

three kiddie rides at the same time. This<br />

was simply a cheek and an absolute “no-no”! This<br />

non-family friendly price policy has a quick effect<br />

on the event as a whole, as surely due to word of<br />

mouth alone, the event quickly gets labelled as<br />

“much too expensive, even on the Family Day”. In<br />

the end, most of the showmen (by Frankenthal standards)<br />

were quite satisfied with their turnover, which<br />

may well have also been due to the sunny weather<br />

that prevailed throughout the event.<br />

RECKLINGHAUSEN<br />

The entrance to the<br />

Palmkirmes in Recklinghausen<br />

In warm and sunny spring weather, the<br />

Palmkirmes 2012 was officially opened at the<br />

gastronomic operation “Zum Dorfwirt”<br />

(Bruno Dreßen), in the presence of prominent<br />

local politicians, the organisers of the<br />

Palmkirmes, as well as a large number of<br />

showmen and organisers of other Volksfest<br />

events.<br />

Due to the beautiful weather and the favourable<br />

weather forecasts for the pending opening days,<br />

there was an almost euphoric atmosphere. Despite<br />

many problems both great and small during<br />

build up, the Palmkirmes opened its gates<br />

on time without any hitches. Even though the layout<br />

of the fairground, which had been clearly<br />

changed to differ from the previous years, made<br />

a more lively impression, it also displayed a number<br />

of drawbacks. The classic Wave-Swinger<br />

site on the south side of the Saatbruch-fairground<br />

was occupied by the “Around the World”<br />

chain ride this time. Together with the “Airport-<br />

Bar”, also built up in this location for the first time,<br />

they made a very good visual impression. The<br />

high ride was a crowd puller and considerably<br />

livened up this area. As two large coasters had<br />

been contracted for the event, the “Wilde Maus”<br />

and the “Rock’n Roller Coaster” had to compete<br />

for the visitors’ favour. This may well have been<br />

too much of a good thing; all the more so given<br />

that the family coastconstituted yet another (if<br />

smaller) coaster. Due to the placement of large<br />

51


“Tal der Könige”<br />

and Wave-Swinger<br />

in Recklinghausen<br />

Fairground days<br />

in Osnabrück<br />

roller coasters, the “Diamond Scooter” had to<br />

leave its usual site and was moved slightly to the<br />

north. With the “Raupenbahn” from Buchholz,<br />

the organiser once again succeeded in engaging<br />

a classic ride. This beautiful ride truly deserved<br />

a more favourable site though. Built up as a<br />

concession however, it could not present its best<br />

visual appearance. The beautiful overall image<br />

of the Palmkirmes was marred by the new steel<br />

scaffolding with flags, showing the way to the escape<br />

routes, which could hardly be ignored as<br />

they were quite simply ugly and grossly oversized.<br />

These flags might well have been just as<br />

efficient but much more discreet if they had been<br />

hung up with the help of the showmen. Added to<br />

that, it would have been significantly cheaper.<br />

Unfortunately, this irritation could not be avoided<br />

by the organiser, as it was stipulated by statutory<br />

regulations. Deinert’s “X-Factor” swing,<br />

engaged as a short-term replacement and built<br />

up opposite the “Big Spin” novelty, was very well<br />

received. Due to the beautiful weather, financial<br />

results were highly satisfying. Naturally, they<br />

were more satisfying for some showmen and<br />

less for others. To reschedule the second fireworks<br />

display and to hold it on Friday was<br />

certainly the right decision.<br />

This year, visitors had to do without the coveted<br />

fair pin, and the large button on offer instead was<br />

not very popular. According to the organiser, the<br />

Palmkirmes continues to be a top event in spring<br />

and attracted the desired number of visitors. A<br />

number of changes have already been carried<br />

out, others are still to follow.<br />

OSNABRÜCK<br />

Text & Photos:<br />

Nils Benthien<br />

Ever since Osnabrück obtained<br />

the right to have a market in 889,<br />

markets were held in the city<br />

centre, the Stadtmarkt in spring<br />

and the Herrenmesse in autumn.<br />

Over the times, they developed<br />

into the present day fair events.<br />

This year’s spring event (23 rd<br />

March to 1 st April) marked the anniversary<br />

“50 Years of the Annual Fair” or the “100 th Fair<br />

Event at the Gartlage hall”. Fairground director Helmut<br />

Siemunowski from the Osnabrück city authorities<br />

chose 150 showman attractions to lay out a beautiful<br />

course circuit around the Gartlage hall. For the anniversary,<br />

visitors were welcomed by Mario Blume’s<br />

concert organ at the Bremer Brücke entrance, where<br />

they could also admire a Lanz bulldog. As a tribute<br />

to the good old fairground days, young and old visitors<br />

were able to enjoy the horse carousel from the<br />

Lesnik family, built in 1886. Other attractions presented<br />

on the fairground were the “Family Star”<br />

coaster (Albers), “Salto Mortale” (Langenberg/Gusowski),<br />

“Disco-Bahn” Musik Express (Welte),<br />

“Around the World” Ferris Wheel (Cornelius), “Auto-<br />

Discothek” dodgem track (Strohtenke), “Booster”<br />

propeller (Havermann/Spelbrink), “New World 3000”<br />

(Welte), “Gaudi Hütt`n” Walkthrough construction<br />

52


(Barth), “Breakdance” (Welte), “Phoenix” simulator<br />

(Gusowski), “Racing Cars” dodgem track (Tovar),<br />

“Haunted Mansion” Ghost Ride (Hinzen), “Power Express”<br />

Musik Express (Welte) and the “Super Cars”<br />

dodgem track (Barber). Moreover, the younger visitors<br />

enjoyed the “Spider Jump” trampoline (Welte),<br />

“Ufo Jet” (Waldmann), “Welt der Phantasie”<br />

(Wieland), kiddie chain ride (Benna), kiddie chain<br />

ride (Cornelius), the “Western Bonanza Reitbahn”<br />

(Kaiser), “Fantasy World” kiddie ride (Welte), “Jumbo-Flug”<br />

Jet Ride (Wegener), Kindertraum (Tovar),<br />

kiddie ride (Wöstmann), and the “Jungle Water-Ball<br />

Trip” (Becker). Numerous confectionery stalls, snack<br />

booths, games booths, beverage outlets and sales<br />

booths rounded off the selection of attractions. The<br />

opening tour across the fairground began at the Bremer<br />

Brücke, where the guests of honour learnt how<br />

to start the Lanz tractor. Next there was the procession<br />

of the show corps “Black Panthers”, the flag bearers<br />

from the Show Woman Association “Hasestrand”,<br />

the Weser-Ems Showman Association, as well as the<br />

Mayor Burkhard Jasper, Beer King Gambrinus, and<br />

many guests of honour. The opening ceremony took<br />

place at the “Altdeutsche Bierstube” from Heitmann.<br />

Wednesday was the designated Family Savings Day,<br />

with ride fares being reduced by 50 percent, and<br />

price reductions of 20 percent at the other attractions.<br />

Moreover, brilliant fireworks displays were held on<br />

both opening Fridays.<br />

This year, according to the local press and others<br />

sources, visitor attendance did not live up to<br />

expectations however.<br />

Norman Vogt<br />

Due to the four beer gardens in a uniform<br />

wooden design, the Speyer Frühjahrsmesse,<br />

held from 5 th to 15 th April, almost provided a<br />

kind of Christmas Market flair.<br />

There was even a pick-up-trolley in a matching<br />

rustic-style “booth look”. A couple of visitors and<br />

showmen thought all that was missing to have a<br />

perfect Christmas Market at springtime in this<br />

cathedral town were the Christmas trees! Other<br />

visitors, however, either enjoyed the ambience,<br />

or were simply 'unmoved'. With the “XXL” swing,<br />

a first-class major ride was built up at the event.<br />

Other attractions presented were<br />

a Ferris Wheel, “Himalaya”, a gokart<br />

track, a “Hollywood” Funhouse,<br />

and a dodgem track. In<br />

addition to the official opening,<br />

free test rides were offered on the<br />

opening day. While Wednesday<br />

was the designated Family Day,<br />

the fairground was closed on<br />

Good Friday for the first time. A<br />

fireworks display, accompanied<br />

by music, once again enticed<br />

many visitors to the fairground on<br />

closing day.<br />

Right: the new “Sterndl-Alm”<br />

beer tent<br />

The Augsburg Osterplärrer (8 th to 22 nd April)<br />

suffered seriously from low temperatures<br />

during (and also after) Easter.<br />

For this reason the city council, on request of the<br />

showmen, decided to extend the Plärrer by 5<br />

days; an extension legally supported by the<br />

Augsburg “Plärrer regulations”. The regular<br />

duration of the event ended on Sunday, 22 nd<br />

April. Then there was a break of four days, and<br />

from Friday, 27 th April to Tuesday 1 st May the<br />

“extension” began. Due to beautiful spring<br />

weather throughout the 5-day extension,<br />

turnover losses previously incurred were largely<br />

made up for. The Walkthrough construction<br />

“Amazonas”, which could not stay for the extension<br />

due to another contract, was replaced by the<br />

“Hex'n Wippn” (Zehle). Plärrer novelties this time<br />

were (in addition to the “Amazonas”) the “Rio<br />

Rapidos” water ride (Kaiser) and Michael Goetzke’s<br />

“Rocket”, both of them being very popular<br />

with the public. Another novelty was the fourth<br />

Plärrer beer tent, the “Sterndl-Alm” (Diebold-Balletshofer)<br />

offering seating for 400 guests, an<br />

open kitchen, and a first-class menu. The Augsburg<br />

showmen were honoured by the advisory<br />

council for having taken disabled people on a<br />

free Plärrer tour for many years now. ■<br />

PRAGUE (CZ)<br />

A LOOK BACK<br />

Text & Photos: Ton Koppei<br />

The traditional “Matjeska Pout” Spring<br />

Fair in the Czech capital of Prague was<br />

held from 3 rd March to 22 nd April this<br />

year.<br />

With participants from the Czech Republic,<br />

the Netherlands and Germany, the 7-<br />

week event was once again very international<br />

and highly attractive in 2012. This<br />

time there were also a number of novelty<br />

attractions from local participants. For the<br />

first time, the Dykovsky firm built up the<br />

“G-Force” Booster in Prague along with<br />

the “Energy Rush” swing purchased in<br />

Denmark. The “Speed of Life” family<br />

coaster from the Novotny firm, built only<br />

in 2011, was another novelty for Prague.<br />

Numerous other novelties were also offered<br />

in the so-called “Dutch section” of the<br />

event, where first-time appearances were<br />

made by the “Spuk” Ghost Ride from Sipkema,<br />

the “Booster Maxx” from De Voer<br />

and the imposing “Inversion” from Albert<br />

Ordelman. With the arrival of the brand new “Jumper<br />

Maxx”, it was possible to celebrate a real première<br />

in Prague. Further attractions from the Netherlands<br />

were, among others, the “Super Mouse”, “Snow<br />

Jet”, “Sound Machine”, “Pirate River” and the<br />

“Around the World” tower ride. The Czech showmen<br />

once again presented successful attractions, such<br />

as “Superbowl”, “Pirat”, “Breakdance”, a Ferris<br />

Wheel, Double-Ranger, “Enterprise”, and various<br />

Ghost Rides. After a break of several years a camel<br />

ride had returned to Prague once again, and as<br />

usual, visitors were able to enjoy two examples of<br />

the typical Czech “Loch Ness” ride with attendant<br />

ball game during the ride, which ranks among the<br />

all-time classics in Prague. Another fixture of many<br />

years at the event was the Italian family coaster from<br />

the Czech Staubert firm. Now the construction,<br />

which used to appear in many East European cities,<br />

has been permanently built up for several years now<br />

up in the Prague city park behind the Vystaviste<br />

exhibition halls. As usual, many Dutch showmen this<br />

year returned home already one week before the<br />

end of the event, in time for one of the major events<br />

on the occasion of the “Königinnentag”, or Queen’s<br />

Day. Visitor attendance in Prague varied a lot this<br />

time. While the fairground was sometimes crowded<br />

already early in the morning, there were hardly any<br />

visitors on other days despite ideal weather. This<br />

was a phenomenon for which the participating<br />

showmen had no explanation.<br />

visitors with food and drink,<br />

on fairgrounds in the<br />

north of Eastern Germany,<br />

the wagon was redesigned<br />

into the 'Oriental'<br />

snack booth, “Little<br />

China”, according to the<br />

firm’s concept, and<br />

equipped with the<br />

kitchen appliances<br />

required. The menu<br />

provides, among other<br />

delicacies, Beijing soup,<br />

spring rolls, classic fried<br />

noodles with vegetables<br />

or pork and chicken with<br />

various soy and chilli<br />

sauces, ranging from<br />

sweet-and-sour to very<br />

spicy. In the beginning, it<br />

took some time until Peer<br />

and Franziska got the<br />

knack of preparing dishes<br />

based on noodles in particular.<br />

“At the very<br />

beginning, it was not that easy. We cooked, fried<br />

and prepared noodles by the kilo until they had the<br />

right consistency and flavour,” recalls Franziska<br />

Hickmann. Thanks to the consistent quality and the<br />

excellent flavour of their Asian specialities, it did not<br />

take long until Hamberger’s “Little China” became<br />

an ‘insider tip’ in the gastro sector at the Volksfest<br />

events in Thuringia and Mecklenburg-Western<br />

Pomerania. From the very beginning, the young<br />

couple were aware of the fact that design and<br />

decoration were far from a guarantee of the success<br />

and the popularity of the “Little China” with the visitors.<br />

Consequently, they attached the highest importance<br />

to the quality of ingredients, and the fresh and<br />

appetizing preparation of the dishes. Limiting the<br />

menu to a couple of main dishes makes it easier for<br />

customers to chose. Only small quantities are<br />

prepared and then carefully kept warm in standard<br />

catering containers and so-called bain-maries<br />

(heatable water basins).<br />

These days, Franziska Hickmann and Peer Hamberger<br />

tour their “Little China” throughout the new<br />

federal states, where they are popular guests with<br />

loyally returning customers at many a Volksfest. The<br />

“Little China” has ground measurements of 6 x 3.50<br />

metres, a height of about 4 metres and electrical requirements<br />

of 10 kW.<br />

WATER RIDE<br />

After a vertical lift, an<br />

intensive drop follows with<br />

a “wet rinse” course<br />

A number of years ago a small<br />

wildlife park in the region Eifel<br />

near Cochem made itself noticed<br />

when it opened its first large ride<br />

attraction in 2004: the “Heiße<br />

Fahrt”, a coaster from Gerstlauer,<br />

was considered by many observers<br />

as the start into a new direction,<br />

although at that time it<br />

would be operated as a pure<br />

wildlife park for a while.<br />

Text:<br />

Zum Rittersturz<br />

The two <strong>Park</strong> Managers<br />

Josef Hennes (left) and Hubert<br />

Hennes with daughter Lena<br />

The Wild- und Freizeitpark Klotten of the<br />

Hennes family originated from a dynasty of<br />

poultry and egg production, and their relatives are<br />

still operating this business to this day.<br />

After the Hennes family gave up the poultry business<br />

for various reasons, the father of both current<br />

operators, Matthias Hennes decided to purchase<br />

a number of hectares of land on the edge of the<br />

Mosel River near Coblenz to open a wildlife park<br />

and gastronomy. An extension of offers in the<br />

direction of park attractions was actually not<br />

intended.<br />

However with the takeover by Josef and Hubert<br />

Hennes in 1995, investments were made in other<br />

attractions. It was particularly the product range<br />

from manufacturer Heege that moved into the<br />

park step-by-step, providing variety particularly<br />

for the younger visitors. A distinct increase in<br />

visitors could be reached with the erection of the<br />

first large ride attraction, with which it became<br />

obvious to the young operators that this was the<br />

starting shot for further development. As a result<br />

preparations were started to extend the new area<br />

steadily over the years.<br />

60


A park of this size is unable to make funds<br />

available for high investments in novelties every<br />

year, so for this reason the further development<br />

around the coaster took somewhat longer than<br />

originally planned. Whilst the design ideas in the<br />

beginning changed over the years (the originally<br />

thought out volcano was to become a castle type<br />

of construction), the wish to extend with a water<br />

attraction remained.<br />

The new attraction “Zum Rittersturz” (German for<br />

“On The Knight Plunge”) when closely observed<br />

is not just a pure water chute ride, but goes also<br />

in the direction of a water coaster. After the<br />

unusual vertical lift comes the drop, which is not<br />

only Germany’s highest drop on a water attraction,<br />

but also exhibits the characteristics of a<br />

coaster. Additionally the use of an electromagnetic<br />

braking system on the drop and in the<br />

water outlet is not quite typical for a conventional<br />

water attraction.<br />

Although “Zum Rittersturz” is not the longest of its<br />

type, the ride itself contains a lot of features that<br />

are only found in this combination here. The station<br />

is located in the already existing structural<br />

work for the future knight’s castle at ground level.<br />

Following the entry of the passengers, the<br />

boats travel through a small Darkride<br />

section where two lovely animatronics<br />

from Hofmann can been seen (this section<br />

is to be extended in the future). After leaving<br />

the building, the lift platform is waiting<br />

to elevate the boats. This rotating lift tower<br />

is another highlight of the ride. And it’s not<br />

only the special technology that is fas-<br />

It takes 50 seconds until<br />

a boat is positioned on the<br />

vertical lift rotating in the<br />

heights from the station, until<br />

the start position is reached<br />

61


OBITUARY<br />

The opening of the ride<br />

could not be witnessed<br />

by Senior Manager Matthias<br />

Hennes. He passed away<br />

only a few days before completion<br />

on the 15 th April 2012.<br />

He was 85 years of age and<br />

leaves behind his wife Maria,<br />

2 children, 5 grandchildren,<br />

and one great-grandchild. ■<br />

The eponym is from a<br />

nearby mountain from where<br />

once a knight had fallen – and<br />

the Federal Republic of<br />

Germany was founded on this<br />

very peak in 1949<br />

cinating, but also the great<br />

view of the Mosel Valley and<br />

the region Hunsrück opposite.<br />

Slowly the ride guests<br />

in the lofty heights of the<br />

platform are pushed onto<br />

the drop whereby the small<br />

“feeder” drop brings the<br />

boat quickly to the highlight<br />

of the ride. Shortly after<br />

being somewhat braked by<br />

the first electromagnetic brake and in the process<br />

undergoing a little “hanging time” to look inward<br />

for a short time before the long drop, the ride<br />

guests then speed towards the lake, and land in<br />

the water with a huge splash. While the runoff is<br />

relatively short, there is also an electromagnetic<br />

braking system here. A ride in the water canal follows,<br />

and a small zigzag course brings the riding<br />

guests back to the station, during which time they<br />

are sprayed at by the water cannons that are<br />

available to the viewers at the edge of the construction,<br />

getting somewhat wet in the process.<br />

The boats are led very smoothly in the concrete<br />

canal (initially it was to comprise of metal), without<br />

hitting the walls – this also makes the experience<br />

“boat ride” appear comfortable.<br />

62


The Theming is Still Incomplete<br />

Quite remarkable also is the environmentally conscious<br />

use of water. The underground water tanks<br />

are filled by ground and rain water. The design<br />

steps planned are a cover for the water canal, so<br />

that it fits to the design of the low water basin. The<br />

completion of the castle construction however<br />

cannot be expected for a few years, and besides<br />

that, park management has already had thoughts<br />

about the further use of the three level building.<br />

Instead of the initially planned gastronomy operation,<br />

a large indoor play area will come into<br />

being. The building of a fast-food restaurant<br />

opposite the new attraction provides sustenance<br />

for guests in this park area.<br />

The theming wishes that<br />

have existed for years to<br />

change the unflattering concrete<br />

structural work have deviated<br />

from the originally planned<br />

volcano façade to a castle<br />

design - unfortunately the<br />

theming will still take some time<br />

COASTER<br />

The new Wing Coaster<br />

at Thorpe <strong>Park</strong> is the third<br />

B&M attraction of this type<br />

There were always certain<br />

trends as far as new seating and<br />

passenger carrier configurations<br />

for coasters. Suspended,<br />

Stand-up, Inverted – and now<br />

also the Wing Coaster, the ride<br />

next to the tracks. Following the<br />

first delivery of “Raptor” to Italy’s<br />

Gardaland, the constructors<br />

at Bolliger & Mabillard have<br />

already been able to sell three<br />

other attractions of this type.<br />

Just how established is the new<br />

seating order?<br />

Thorpe <strong>Park</strong><br />

The non roofed over<br />

station area is impressively<br />

designed<br />

The Swarm<br />

Acompletely new area has been created for “The<br />

Swarm” at Britain’s Thorpe <strong>Park</strong>, Merlin’s self<br />

appointed “Thrill Capital” located near to the main<br />

London airport, Heathrow.<br />

And the apocalypse reigns here: a (real) plane<br />

wreck can be seen, a (real) skirted fire brigade vehicle,<br />

and a (real) helicopter appears to have<br />

dropped out of the sky. The central point of the<br />

whole area is the ruin of a (not real) church, where<br />

the station of “The Swarm” is located. However as<br />

it always is with ruins, this example also has no roof<br />

anymore. And so the waiting line for “The Swarm”,<br />

with England’s average weather conditions (= rain),<br />

will be a real wet experience. A station without a roof<br />

may well be a great idea in Spain or the<br />

Sahelian zone, but not in England. But the<br />

church ruin is at least authentic and looks –<br />

we have to give them their due – really great.<br />

And one can also see our friend and helper<br />

in the form of a police van, lying on the ruin with the<br />

wheels pointing to the skies. This vehicle harbours<br />

the control room, from where the attraction is<br />

operated – great idea.<br />

In the event that a visitor wishes to sit in the first row,<br />

he or she has to obtain a free-of-charge Front-Row-<br />

Queue-Pass before entering the station area. It’s<br />

only this way that one can get a seat in that position.<br />

Why this is so is beyond the comprehension<br />

of the author, as there’s no real sense in the procedure.<br />

The rest of the rows are allocated to the ride<br />

guests, however, special wishes are catered to.<br />

The best seat appears to be to the front right, due<br />

to the build up to the first drop, as this position is<br />

64


simply more in front and is probably the best place<br />

on the attraction. Following the lift that comes<br />

straight after the station, a half roll connects up to<br />

the left, and is followed by a half looping. Passengers<br />

on the right side are lifted up and turned<br />

upside down to drop over 30 metres into the<br />

depths. Arriving again at ground level, the train<br />

crosses the wing of a plane wreck. A convincing<br />

example of a near-miss effect, once could imagine,<br />

however that’s not the case. Unfortunately everything<br />

is all too far away, and the straight approach<br />

to the wing destroys the illusion that something<br />

could happen here.<br />

For that though the following element, a Zero-G-<br />

Roll, is a lot of fun due to the width of the coaster<br />

cars. In a further curve it’s upside down, and this is<br />

really an element that can’t get any better. An<br />

inclined loop follows a curve close to the ground<br />

travelling around the already mentioned helicopter,<br />

which is followed by a Corkscrew, another<br />

curve through a part of the church ruin,<br />

and an Inline-Twist over the station.<br />

Unfortunately none of the near-miss-effects<br />

function during the ride itself, but the<br />

ride does however still offer a lot. That what causes<br />

passengers to duck their heads and draw up<br />

their legs in the case of the Italian “Raptor” at<br />

Gardaland (also a Merlin owned park) is not really<br />

perceived on “The Swarm”. The clearance gauge<br />

appears to be so carefully measured that everything<br />

remains far too far away to be able to categorise<br />

the situation as being a real collision danger.<br />

Considering this fact, the latest PR-stunt of the<br />

park with the launched story that test dummies lost<br />

arms and legs during the first run of the ride is an<br />

even bigger embarrassment. However, the story<br />

had the desired effect: countless British newspapers<br />

presented it.<br />

The theme concept<br />

initially caused a stir during the<br />

approval procedure, as Thorpe<br />

<strong>Park</strong> is located in the approach<br />

corridor of the Heathrow<br />

Airport<br />

It’s a great shame, as the park has done an<br />

excellent job with the theming, which can be seen<br />

everywhere, right down to the souvenir shop or at<br />

the issuing area of onride photos or alternatively<br />

videos: unerring with the title “Missing Persons”. A<br />

games booth integrated into the area carries the<br />

name “Fight Back”, and even the new toilets in the<br />

area are in a ruin-look. On the other hand a little less<br />

site-sound would have been better: the nerve-racking<br />

mixture of roaring, industrial screeches and<br />

other sounds do not produce an inviting atmosphere<br />

to stay longer than necessary.<br />

In the end the question remains as to what it’s really<br />

all about. Although there are no theming objects in<br />

the queue, there is a television screen showing a<br />

fictive TV-news programme continuously, reporting<br />

about the “incident”, but what exactly “The Swarm”<br />

really is, remains unknown. Maybe it’s better this<br />

way though, as the story conveys somewhat of<br />

mystery, which has its charm as well.<br />

Based on the public reaction at Thorpe <strong>Park</strong>, “The<br />

Swarm” can definitely be rated as a complete<br />

success. The TV-campaign for the attraction appears<br />

to work well; there were waiting times of over<br />

two hours during the Easter weekend!<br />

Summary: There’s nothing to complain about as far<br />

as the ride is concerned. Ride comfort is A1, there<br />

are no big vibrations, and the restraint system with<br />

rubber vests is comfortable. And there’s nothing<br />

wrong with the substantial and convincing staging<br />

either. But the interaction of the construction and<br />

theming doesn’t really want to function properly.<br />

The near-misses remain without any affect. “The<br />

Swarm” has given away potential. And this is really<br />

a shame.<br />

COASTER<br />

The new coaster at<br />

Duinrell offers fun for the<br />

whole family<br />

The park Duinrell in the Netherlands<br />

has with “Dragonfly” integrated<br />

yet another standard<br />

roller coaster perfectly into the<br />

available landscape with an old<br />

tree population.<br />

Text:<br />

Olaf Esser<br />

Photos: Olaf Esser, Duinrell<br />

RIDE FACTS<br />

Dragonfly<br />

The “Dragonfly” has been placed directly between<br />

the two existing coasters “Falcon” (a<br />

Gerstlauer-“Eurofighter”; see KPR 09/2009) and<br />

“Kikkerachtbaan” (a Zierer Tivoli-Coaster from the<br />

year 1985), and almost gives the impression that<br />

they are all only one coaster. This is also underlined<br />

by the fact that “Dragonfly” and “Falcon” both have<br />

the same paintwork: the tracks are brown, and all<br />

supports have a light brown tree trunk look. Both<br />

station buildings have been built in the same<br />

wooden house style.<br />

The outside waiting area of “Dragonfly” is not used<br />

on days with fewer visitors. The entrance without a<br />

long queue is directly in the station building, where<br />

passengers can take their place in the comfortable<br />

train. The family coaster train has been completely<br />

redesigned and comprises of 12 cars, each with<br />

two seats. They are equipped with two separate<br />

restraints, so that children with a height from one<br />

metre can also partake of the ride. This makes the<br />

new track attraction perfect fun for the whole family,<br />

as even adults with long legs have enough leg<br />

room.<br />

After leaving the station building the train travels<br />

over a left curve to the lift hill. The lift reaches the<br />

highest point after only a short period, which is<br />

particularly noise-dampened due to the reverse<br />

clamps. The track course can be described quite<br />

simply: the first left curve follows immediately,<br />

followed by a right curve and another left curve that<br />

already heralds the return. The return offers another<br />

right curve, a left curve, and as finale before<br />

reaching one of the smooth magnetic brakes and<br />

entering the station, the train travels through a<br />

small helix.<br />

The whole 361 metre long course is comfortably<br />

and fast, leading through the lovely trees of the<br />

park and past the “Waterspin”, a Top Spin from<br />

Huss.<br />

■ Opening: 31 st March 2012<br />

■ Track length: 361 m<br />

■ Track height: 15 m<br />

■ Max. speed: 50 km/h<br />

■ Max. acceleration: 2.9 g<br />

■ Ride time: 1.13 min<br />

Germany<br />

■ Operator: Duinrell, Wassenaar,<br />

Netherlands<br />

Another advantage of the family coaster from<br />

Gerstlauer is that only few personnel are needed<br />

by the park. Thanks to the electronic surveillance<br />

of the safety restraints, operation is possible with<br />

only one person. This is naturally economical for<br />

Duinrell on days with fewer visitors. And the photo<br />

equipment on the “Dragonfly” needs no personnel<br />

at all. Visitors can choose their photos from a number<br />

of screens, and for 2 Euro, can have them sent<br />

per Email.<br />

Duinrell lives to a large part from its overnight<br />

guests in the family camping area, and the Duingalows,<br />

the name given by Duinrell to its large<br />

choice of bungalows in various sizes. This year 40<br />

new Duingalow Premium XL have been added,<br />

that are available to large families with 4 to 6 persons,<br />

and have a higher comfort with added conveniences<br />

such as a dishwasher and flat screen<br />

television. And it’s exactly for this family public that<br />

the new family coaster has been built, which has<br />

been well received by its guests. It is an enrichment<br />

for the park, “Dragonfly” being a real family<br />

attraction with somewhat more thrill than the<br />

“Kikkerachtbaan” but still ideal for families that are<br />

a little deterred by the “Falcon” with its upside<br />

down elements.<br />

TOP ACT<br />

The 16-seat passenger<br />

carrier not only rotates<br />

during the ascent, but<br />

remains in permanent<br />

rotation<br />

At face value 2012 appears a disappointing<br />

year for major new<br />

rides in the UK, with only one<br />

new coaster opening. On the<br />

other hand, theme park visitors<br />

who love to go high in the skies<br />

have nothing to be disappointed<br />

about, as this year sees the<br />

opening of at least three new<br />

Freefall Towers in England: two<br />

outdoor and one indoor.<br />

Text & Photos: Marcus Gaines<br />

From the operator’s view<br />

Magma<br />

Unquestionably the most visually impressive of<br />

the two outdoor examples is the construction<br />

“Magma” at Paultons <strong>Park</strong>. Supplied by Italian manufacturer<br />

SBF Visa, “Magma” is a 25 m tall “Roto”<br />

Freefall Tower that has been extensively themed by<br />

RMA Themed Attractions. At first, the choice of a<br />

drop tower may come as a slight surprise, as the<br />

park is already home to two family tower rides. But<br />

“Magma” is different enough to stand out, especially<br />

as at 25 m it's now the park’s tallest and most<br />

thrilling ride.<br />

The volcanic structure that surrounds the central<br />

tower has been built in a cartoon style, and the<br />

adjoining yellow and blue plant rooms and toilet<br />

block have been re-decorated to look like mining<br />

storage sheds.<br />

After walking through the outside queue area<br />

guests find themselves entering the base of the<br />

volcano, past a bubbling pool of molten magma,<br />

past veins of molten magma starting to appear in<br />

the walls of the darkened tunnel, and a dinosaur<br />

that swipes towards its cage door at them. Once<br />

arriving at the very heart of the volcano, passengers<br />

climb aboard the 16-seat round gondola. As<br />

is the norm for Paultons <strong>Park</strong> on other attractions,<br />

the ride offers a relatively low height restriction:<br />

children over the age of 5 and 1.1 m tall can ride<br />

70


with an adult, while children over 8 and at least 1.3<br />

m tall can ride alone. The overhead restraints are<br />

pleasantly not too heavy, and even when secured<br />

do not push down, no doubt to the added comfort<br />

of younger riders.<br />

With riders now ready to go, sound effects signal<br />

the start of the eruption and the volcano crater fills<br />

with smoke. Once shrouded in smoke the ride<br />

begins. Although sadly it begins with a relatively<br />

slow accent rather than a fast eruption. Once the<br />

ride vehicle has cleared the volcanic structure, the<br />

round gondola begins to rotate around the tower.<br />

This movement helps to swirl some of the smoke out<br />

of the crater for onlookers to see, although the<br />

amount of smoke that comes out is weather dependant.<br />

Having risen to the top of the 25 metre high tower,<br />

riders get to enjoy spectacular views of the<br />

picturesque park and the surrounding countryside,<br />

including the edge of the New Forest National <strong>Park</strong>.<br />

After just enough time to admire the views, riders<br />

experience the first of a number of drops. Unlike<br />

many other rotating tower rides that only<br />

rotate during the accent, this example from<br />

SBF Visa continues to rotate even when<br />

dropping. Although not a fast rotation, it still<br />

makes a difference to the tower ride experience.<br />

After the first big drop, the ride<br />

continues with several rapid accents and<br />

drops of varying height. Considering the<br />

relatively low height of the ride, each drop<br />

packs a punch of airtime and negative<br />

g-forces that gives that wonderful sensation<br />

in the stomach.<br />

Unfortunately the method for releasing<br />

guests seems cumbersome. There's no<br />

automatic release, instead an airline hose<br />

has to be extended and connected to the<br />

ride vehicle. Although this doesn't cause a<br />

huge delay, if the operator isn't quick<br />

enough to retract the hose, kids desperate<br />

to rush around for another go find themselves<br />

getting tripped up by it.<br />

rides at Alton Towers, and the<br />

40 metre high “Jolly Roger” at<br />

Pleasure Wood Hills.<br />

This Fabbri “Mega Drop” previously<br />

travelled UK fairs under<br />

the ownership of showman<br />

Mike Wallis, and is on long<br />

term lease to the park. The ride<br />

has been given a small makeover<br />

with a new backflash<br />

being the only real evidence of<br />

the ride’s new pirate theme. ■<br />

Families in particular<br />

have discovered the park<br />

for themselves<br />

The two already existing<br />

Freefall Towers at Paultons<br />

<strong>Park</strong>, and the new restaurant at<br />

the entrance to “Peppa Pig<br />

World” that opened in 2011<br />

Following on from the impressive job of theming<br />

“Peppa Pig World” in 2011 (see KPR 5/2011), it was<br />

crucial that this year’s new ride was also themed to<br />

such a high standard. However, last year the quality<br />

of “Peppa Pig World” made the adjoining rides look<br />

out of place as they were not themed. Now the park<br />

has created a similar problem on the other side of<br />

the property. “Magma” looks terrific but the adjacent<br />

“Cobra” coaster and nearby “Edge” Disk 'O<br />

coaster remain without a theme and create an inconsistency<br />

to the area. The park’s commercial<br />

director Stephen Lorton acknowledges that theming<br />

future attractions is important for the park:<br />

“After the success of ‘Peppa Pig World’ and the<br />

very positive feedback we received from guests<br />

regarding the attraction and the quality of the theming,<br />

we want to continue this trend to add<br />

value to the experience of our guests”.<br />

On the subject of “Peppa Pig World” and the<br />

nearby attractions, the “Magic Forest” walkthrough<br />

has been closed. The very dated<br />

attraction that opened in 1984 really did look<br />

out of place alongside the entrance to Peppa<br />

Pig World. The building is to be retained, and<br />

even if the corrugated sheet structure may well not<br />

quite fit to the high class ambience of “Peppa Pig<br />

World” it is being converted into the “Railroad<br />

Diner” to provide an additional much needed food<br />

outlet in a busy area of the park. “Peppa Pig World”<br />

has far exceeded the parks expectations on the<br />

visitor number increase. Prior to its addition,<br />

Paultons <strong>Park</strong> welcomed in the region of 500,000<br />

guests, but in 2011 more than 1 million guests came<br />

through the doors!<br />

It's hardly surprising that the park chose to put<br />

“Magma” on the opposite side of the park in an<br />

attempt to spread the crowds across the whole<br />

park. “Magma” was chosen to appeal to older children,<br />

but was still not designed to attract teenage<br />

thrill seekers. Paultons <strong>Park</strong> is very much about the<br />

family day out, and managers are keen not to attract<br />

the wrong market.<br />

The past two years have seen the park begin to<br />

come of age. For its first 26 years it was very much<br />

a park enjoyed by locals, but with the addition of<br />

“Peppa Pig World” it gained national attention. The<br />

installation of a ride with the quality of “Magma” will<br />

probably ensure this recognition continues. ■<br />

NORWEGIAN BREAKAWAY<br />

Water slides on cruise ships are<br />

becoming more and more important.<br />

Disney led the way with<br />

its “Aquaduck”-slides on the<br />

“Disney Dream” and the “Disney<br />

Fantasy”, and now competitor<br />

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is<br />

following.<br />

GCE Agency<br />

The twelfth ship of the cruise line that is currently<br />

under construction in Germany at the Papenburg<br />

Meyer wharf, the “Norwegian Breakaway” with<br />

an over 4,000 passenger capacity, is being orientated<br />

in particular on the “appetites” of teenagers and<br />

young adults. It will contain the largest children and<br />

youth area in the NCL-fleet, and also the largest<br />

collection of water slides: five in total.<br />

Two of the slides in the “Aqua <strong>Park</strong>” on the “Breakaway”<br />

are freefall slides, a type that was first built on<br />

a competing ship “Carnival Spirit”, offering the thrill<br />

of standing and waiting for the floor to open up from<br />

underneath. It’s exactly this thrill that is offered also<br />

by the Hartwigsen/Aquarena patented “Aqua-<br />

Loop”- slides, and the “Breakaway” will be the first<br />

cruise ship that will have this unusual looping slide<br />

installed. In addition, two “Twister” slides, similar to<br />

those offered by WhitewaterWest will be on offer to<br />

guests, on which passengers hurtle upwards in two<br />

spiral formed pipes, in order to establish which person<br />

was the fastest during the race. It’s somewhat<br />

calmer on the fifth open slide in comparison ("Open<br />

Flume Bodyslide"), which is perfect for families.<br />

The “Aqua <strong>Park</strong>” also offers two swimming pools, four<br />

whirlpools, and various restaurants. Additionally<br />

there are sport complexes spread out over three<br />

decks, among them a basketball court, a climbing<br />

wall, a Zip-Line (Flying Fox), and the seven metres<br />

high climbing playground “Spider Web” with a spiral<br />

slide. And not to forget to mention the largest high<br />

rope course on the sea, which also contains “The<br />

Plank”, a platform that extends almost 2.5 metres<br />

over the ship’s edge.<br />

In a separate tropically designed “Kids Aqua <strong>Park</strong>”<br />

there will be a kiddie pool with slides located between<br />

larger than life-sized Nickelodeon characters<br />

(SpongeBob SquarePants). Norway had entered<br />

into an appropriate licence contract with Nickelodeon.<br />

The completion of the 324 metre long ship (costs<br />

approx. 600 million Euro) is expected to be April<br />

2013, and the maiden voyage will begin in<br />

Southampton, travelling to New York. After that, the<br />

“Breakaway” will operate 7-night cruises from home<br />

port New York in the direction of the Bahamas and<br />

Florida.<br />

In Bang Saray there is to be a new, approximately<br />

14 hectare sized water park erected<br />

directly on the beach on Thailand’s east coast.<br />

Building contractor is project developer Liakat<br />

Dhanji with his firm Amazon Falls C. Ltd. The property<br />

is only 16 km away from popular tourist destination<br />

Pattaya, and for this reason visitor numbers<br />

are estimated to be 800,000 annually, as soon as<br />

the project is opened in 2013.<br />

Additionally it’s the first water park worldwide that<br />

will be themed according to the characters of Cartoon<br />

Network. An appropriate licence contract has<br />

been entered into with Turner Broadcasting System<br />

Asia Pacific Inc. (a company of Time Warner) which<br />

allows use of the popular titles from Warner Bros.,<br />

MGM und Hanna-Barbara. Initially the popular<br />

figures from Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny<br />

Bravo and The Amazing World of Gumball will be<br />

used in Thailand.<br />

In addition to a big wave pool, a long Lazy River,and<br />

various family water slides and thrill slides, there will<br />

also be the largest interactive water play fortress in<br />

the world at Cartoon Network Amazon Water <strong>Park</strong>.<br />

This and all other water attractions will be realized,<br />

themed and built by the manufacturer Polin from<br />

Turkey.<br />

The Launch Coaster “Freischütz” from Maurer<br />

Söhne (see KPR 10/2011) erected last year,<br />

received at long last its intended theming at the<br />

beginning of the 2012 season.<br />

As is know, the attraction could only open a half a<br />

year later than expected, due to a delay in<br />

production. And in order not to disturb the running<br />

operation, <strong>Park</strong> Manageress Silke Holzner made<br />

the decision to realize the theming design after the<br />

end of the season 2011.<br />

10 percent of the total investment<br />

amount of around five million<br />

Euro was planned for the ambitious<br />

theming, for which Künstlerische<br />

Holzgestaltung (Jürgen<br />

Bergmann) was engaged, well<br />

known for its individual wooden<br />

objects for play and understanding.<br />

And what’s really nice about it is<br />

that it’s not explicitly a waiting<br />

area, but a “walking through”<br />

area that offers fun and entertainment<br />

to park guests. Silke<br />

Both labyrinths “Wolfsschlucht”<br />

and “Gärten” have to<br />

be conquered before reaching<br />

the station<br />

Also new: bright LED<br />

wheels called “Fire Wheels”<br />

from Maurer Söhne<br />

Holzner: “It’s only after both<br />

labyrinths, that the actual waiting<br />

area begins.”<br />

With that Bayern-<strong>Park</strong> has<br />

proved that designs rich in ideas<br />

are not only limited to large<br />

parks.<br />

NEW STUDY: NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON CHILDREN<br />

Text:<br />

Frank Lanfer<br />

Something that adults have always suspected<br />

has been confirmed according to a report by the<br />

Bayerischen Rundfunk radio station: in a small and<br />

not representative study involving 60 persons, it<br />

was established that some of the most popular TVseries<br />

cause children in primary school age to be<br />

more inattentive, restless and inane<br />

as others. According to this announcement,<br />

a daily ‘consumption’ of<br />

only 9 minutes of SpongeBob<br />

SquarePants shows a measureable<br />

effect. Unfortunately the extent of<br />

affect of other kiddie series has not<br />

been revealed.<br />

PROJECT: NEW WATER PARK IN THE CARIBBEAN<br />

Text:<br />

H. Jürgen Kagelmann<br />

A Spanish investment group intends to build a<br />

new hybrid-park on 100 hectares in the tourist<br />

centre Punto Cana in the eastern park of the<br />

Dominican Republic: around 190 million $ will be<br />

invested. The anchor attractions will be a skinhall,<br />

a huge pool that even makes surfing competitions<br />

possible with the 46 different types of<br />

wave forms, an amphitheatre for musical events,<br />

and a coaster.<br />

In-depth details will be announced in March, and<br />

one speaks very optimistically of a year of building<br />

time after that. The plans were discussed with the<br />

Ministry for Tourism as Punta Cana is undoubtedly<br />

one of the most important tourist destinations in the<br />

Caribbean, and until now entertainment possibilities<br />

have been missing, with the exception of<br />

only a go-kart park (Fun City Action <strong>Park</strong>) and the<br />

marine park (Ocean World Adventure <strong>Park</strong>) near<br />

Puerto Plata).<br />

3.7 million tourists are in general not<br />

an uninteresting target group. However<br />

there are some thoughts on the<br />

matter: hardly any European or<br />

north American would be interested<br />

in skiing in the Dominican Republic,<br />

and whether or not there are enough<br />

locals who can afford to pay the<br />

most probably high entrance fee is<br />

questionable.<br />

Experts also have brought up the<br />

point of the very high energy costs<br />

in the country, which would make<br />

operation expensive. And the investment<br />

group of Salvador Ballesteros<br />

and his partner Antonio<br />

Jimenez Fernandez have until now<br />

not been noticed for any park projects<br />

in the industry, and so it remains<br />

to be seen if the project will<br />

run like snow in the sun. ■<br />

TAKEOVERS: SLAGHAREN AND WISCONSIN DELLS<br />

The Spanish park group (owned by Candover<br />

International, a British Private Equity Group) is<br />

on a shopping tour once again.<br />

Following the takeover of Movie <strong>Park</strong> Germany last<br />

year, the Northern American subsidiary, Palace Entertainment,<br />

has now purchased the water park<br />

Noah’s Ark (in the US-State of Wisconsin) directly<br />

from the owners Tim und Dan Gantz. With an area<br />

of almost 30 hectares, it’s considered to be America's<br />

largest water park, and also includes two<br />

hotels.<br />

Further along in Europe, the Ponypark Slagharen in<br />

the Netherlands has also been incorporated. The<br />

park was erected in 1963 by the Bemboom family,<br />

and with an annual visitor figure of<br />

over one million, is one of the largest<br />

parks in the Netherlands. Forty attractions<br />

and a holiday village with<br />

800 beds are spread out over 80<br />

hectares.<br />

The group now operates 72 establishments<br />

worldwide, and with that<br />

Parques Reunidos is the second<br />

largest park operator in Europe.<br />

<strong>Park</strong> group boss Richard Golding:<br />

“The acquisition of Slagharen signifies<br />

the extension of our family<br />

leisure facilities in a new market, the<br />

The Rasti-Land located<br />

near Hannover is also<br />

offering its visitors something<br />

new this year: an<br />

electric horse riding attraction<br />

from the manufacturer<br />

Metallbau Emmeln.<br />

This attraction has been on<br />

offer by the North German<br />

manufacturer since the<br />

1970s, and since then, more<br />

than 50 examples of this type<br />

have been sold. All are<br />

based on the popular – and<br />

not only with children – simulation<br />

of horse riding with<br />

varied and surprising transitions<br />

from a light trot to a fast<br />

gallop. The length of the<br />

course and the design of the vehicle can<br />

be customised according to customer<br />

requirements, however, in most cases it<br />

remains the horse.<br />

The Ratzke family has chosen a<br />

completely new theme for Rasti-Land<br />

however, in the form of five camels that ride<br />

over the 113 metre course, during that time<br />

passing a number of scenes.<br />

And due to the particularly small kiddie<br />

seats, this attraction can even be operated<br />

without an age limit, so long as an adult<br />

rides as well.<br />

In the upcoming year the first building<br />

phase of the world’s largest shopping<br />

mall will be completed, currently under<br />

construction at around 25 km from Beijing<br />

International Airport.<br />

Included are not only the highest indoor<br />

coaster in the world from Premier Rides<br />

(we reported) – this superlative has been<br />

claimed by the Schwarzkopf “Mindbender”<br />

at the West Edmonton Mall since<br />

1985. The key technical data will not be<br />

revealed until the end of this year, due to<br />

competition reasons.<br />

An indoor water park with an area of around of<br />

23,000 m 2 and a height of 30 m will entice visitor<br />

masses already in the first building phase. The area<br />

will contain 4 main attractions, build and supplied<br />

by Polin: a “King Cobra”-Boomerang slide, a<br />

“Space Shuttle” slide, an “Uphill Navigator” with<br />

sequences by way of water jets causing an upward<br />

direction, and a “Blackhole” pipe slide.<br />

The development company Berjaya Great Mall of<br />

China Co. Ltd., intends to complete the 5.5 million<br />

m 2 project within the next 5 years. It will contain in<br />

addition to 2 indoor parks and the indoor water<br />

park, a theatre, an aquarium, 2 hotels and a congress<br />

Berjaya already operates a huge shopping centre<br />

in Malaysia, where an Intamin-Looping is the highlight<br />

of the indoor park.<br />


OBITUARY: JIMMY GODDEN<br />

Jimmy Godden was an amusement<br />

industry tycoon owning<br />

and operating 3 seaside amusement<br />

parks; Rotunda Amusement<br />

<strong>Park</strong> (Folkestone), Dreamland<br />

(Margate) and Ramsgate<br />

Pleasure <strong>Park</strong>, as well as a number<br />

of amusement arcades<br />

throughout the UK.<br />

Godden became part of the amusement industry<br />

in 1975 when he married into a family that<br />

was heavily involved in the Rotunda Amusement<br />

<strong>Park</strong>. When his father-in-law died, he had more<br />

involvement in the park, with ambitious plans.<br />

After 25 years in the business, the successful<br />

entrepreneur is reported to have lost heart for the<br />

amusement industry following a tragic accident at<br />

the Rotunda Amusement <strong>Park</strong>. In September 1999,<br />

an 8 year old girl died after falling out of a roller<br />

coaster, an accident for which Godden’s company<br />

was later convicted under the health and safety legislation.<br />

Having purchased Dreamland Margate<br />

from the Bembom Brothers in 1996, Godden became<br />

unpopular when he closed the park down for<br />

good in 2005. Since its closure, the park, home to<br />

the UK’s oldest coaster, the 1920 Scenic Railway,<br />

has been the centre of a long running dispute. Initial<br />

plans to use the site for housing and shops were<br />

met with anger, and a campaign to build a heritage<br />

park of historic rides looks ever closer to becoming<br />

a reality. In 2008, around 25% of the Scenic Railway<br />

was destroyed by fire following an arson attack. But<br />

the coaster is protected as a UK listed structure,<br />

meaning it must be restored. It’s planned that the<br />

attraction will be the centrepiece of the heritage<br />

park, if and when it opens.<br />

Godden died at the age of 66 following a two year<br />

battle with cancer. He leaves behind wife Rochelle<br />

and sons James (from a previous marriage), Jeremy<br />

and Jordan.<br />
