GLÜCKSKÖNIG
Victim to a fire in
Düsseldorf: The “Glückskönig”
Continental Pick stand from
the Schleinitz firm
TAKE OFF
Text & Photo:
Norman Vogt
Since the beginning
of this season, the
“Take Off” from the Ruppert
firm from Bad Wildungen
has surprised
the public with a new
backflash design. The
cheeky, teenage motifs
painted by a Polish artist
in strong and fresh
colours, give the ride a
spectacularly new
overall appearance. ■
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
The large Continental Pick “Glückskönig” from
the Schleinitz family belonged as much to the
Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen event as the Altbier
belongs to the Düsseldorf medieval city centre.
Every year, thousands of attractive prizes are
presented and paid out from more than 20 front
metres. The attraction numbered among the
largest games operations in the industry. Unfortunately,
this is a thing of the past, as the “Glückskönig”
fell victim to a fire on its traditional Düsseldorf
site the night of 14 th / 15 th July. Woken by
the sound of burning at about 4:40 a.m., a showman
colleague immediately called the fire
brigade. Other alarmed showmen cooled adjoining
caravans, baggage vans and concession
stalls by the aid of hoses up until the arrival of the
fire brigade. While the now engulfed “Glückskönig”
was completely destroyed by the fire, the fire
brigade succeeded in protecting the adjoining attractions
and vehicles from the spreading flames.
The courageous intervention of colleagues and
wet weather may well have prevented more damage.
Initial police investigations ruled out a technical
fault as the cause of the fire, so it is now presumed
to have been an act of deliberate arson.
It was decidedly less than professional that the
organiser omitted to say a single word about the
fire during the opening of the fair on the Friday, or
at the Schützenfest on Saturday. Some words of
comfort would have been reasonable; after all, the
livelihood of the Schleinitz family had fallen victim
to this fire. Many showman colleagues stood by
the Schleinitz family with words, deeds and offers
of help in these difficult times.

ROUE PARISIENNE
KALEIDOSCOPE
Text & Photos:
Heiko Schimanzik
Only a few visitors and
colleagues noticed that
on one of the opening
days during the Hannover
Schützenfest, a new test
gondola of closed design
was tried out at the “Roue
Parisienne” Ferris Wheel
from Burghard-Kleuser
for TÜV inspection purposes.
There are plans to (optionally)
equip half the Ferris
Wheel with standard rotating
open gondolas, and
the other half with the new
closed gondolas in the
near future. To be precise,
during the build up, 16
open and closed gondolas
will be mounted to the Mondial
attraction in an
alternating arrangement.
The new gondolas were actually modelled on the
replacement gondola from the “Roue de Paris”
Ferris Wheel from a foreign colleague. The new
“half 'n' half” version is to be presented for the
first time in Hamm (Westphalia) in mid-September.

WEDDING AT THE DODGEM TRACK

It was an extraordinary wedding: during the
Pfingstkirmes, both Bergisch Gladbach fairground
organisers, Burkhard and Ute Unrau,
were married at the Dodgem track from the
Barth firm.
On June 11 th , there was first a “short” ceremony
in the wedding room of the Bergisches Gladbach
town hall, as according to law a marriage
ceremony is only allowed to take place in a
dedicated room. An hour later the wedding party
set out to the dodgem track on the fairground,
where the wedding ceremony was held for the
couple once again at the festively decorated
area. Several hundred guests, naturally including
showmen, Bergisches Gladbach residents,
as well as VIPs from the local political
scene (e.g. Wolfgang Bosbach), watched
the extraordinary wedding.

The new sweet and ice cream booth from
Claudia Boos from Klingenberg celebrated
its première at this year’s Michelstadt
Bienenmarkt.
The 6 metre long construction was built by
the Dietz firm according to the wishes of the
showman firm, and the ideas of Claudia’s
husband, Wolfgang Boos. The result is
quite impressive; the upbeat painting
perfectly harmonises with the neon lighting
(from the Ilmenau ILM firm). The sales booth
was completed only a couple of days before
the opening of the Bienenmarkt, from
where it travelled on to events in Speyer and
Erbach.
By the way, the previous model, also built
by Dietz as a skip container (6 m) in 2002,
is also still touring.

was honoured by Lord Mayor
Dirk Elbers (r.) and President
Lothar Inden in Düsseldorf
As is tradition, on the
first Monday of the
Düsseldorf Fair, one of
most exceptional
showmen participants
is chosen by the organiser
to be specially
honoured for his or
her service to the
event. This time the
chosen candidate was
William Fischer.
In the Düsseldorf city
hall, the Lord Mayor
Dirk Elbers presented William “Menzie” Fischer
this honorary award. With his Giant Slide, “Toboggan”,
William Fischer has thrilled the visitors
with a special show at the Rheinwiesen for years.
His slick announcements over the microphone
accompany his guests on their way up on the
conveyor belt, with young and old enjoying the
little accidents of those braving the attraction,
which is hardly without (harmless) falls and hilarious
contortions. This still provides much fun to
all participants over and over again. In addition
to the Lord Mayor and the St. Sebastians, William
Fischer also explicitly thanked his life partner
Tina Kalwa after the ceremony.

to the “Mission Space” from T. Kroon. The certificates
and cups were presented to the winners by
Joost Möller (City of Tilburg). As usual, the prize
winners are automatically approved for the event
the following year (and for the same fairground
fees), no further applications being required.
By the way, this would also have applied to a
prize winner from 2010; namely the “Teststrecke”
from the Steiger firm. However, as this option
could not be realised in 2011 due to a tight
schedule, the automatic approval for the Looping
Coaster was postponed to the following year
– by mutual consent with the city of Tilburg. ■

the Fabbri Group continues with
the example from Willy Ordelman,
which went into operation in
Tilburg.
On his site on the N.S. Plein in Tilburg,
Ordelman’s brand new “Booster

which had been built up in its direct
vicinity, yet despite this, the ride was

FLY ZONE
Première in Troyes; “Fly Zone”
from Steven Bourgois
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
The first “Loop Fighter” from Technical Park, was
introduced to France by the showman Yohan Krismann
under the name of “Loop Zone” last year, a
second ride of this type, celebrated its French
première in Troyes this season; namely, the “Fly
Zone” from Steven Bourgois.
The next venue on its tour schedule was the renowned
Foire du Trone in Paris. In contrast to the “Loop Zone”,
the “Fly Zone” has a backflash with motifs from aviation
sport. The LED lighting system, which provides
perfect lighting for the ride after sundown, is now
almost standard. With the purchase of the “Fly Zone”,
Steven Bourgois, who had already bought the “Streetfighter”
swing called “Number One” from the Italian
manufacturer in 2004, once again decided in favour of
a ride from Technical Park. During the summer months,
Bourgois will present his novelty ride at the Luna Park
in Vias and in the autumn in Firminy.

Another 58 days, 1 hour, and 12 minutes until the
tapping of the keg – that was as things stood when
the event manager Gabriele Weishäupl took the microphone
at the press conference on July 21 st for
the 178 th Oktoberfest: According to the Wiesn
manager, a countdown clock discovered on the Internet
and counting even the seconds up until it is
“Ozapft is!”, proves how much not only the locals,
but also fans from all over the world are longing for
the most famous Volksfest event of all.
Four days earlier, the build up of the gigantic Wirtsbudenstadt,
or beer tent city, had begun. Actually,
the Wiesn is on the agenda the whole year round, not
least for the press and in local political life. Throughout
the year, articles have appeared that ranged in
subject from the long overdue sentence for the “Robber-Duo”,
who had robbed and beaten up Oktoberfest
visitors at the Wiesn 2010, to the “criminal Wiesn ripoff”
on the Internet with illegal reservations of fiercely
contested seats inside the beer tents at horrendous
prices. Party-political in-fighting became clear around
the proposal to install photovoltaic modules on top of
the Wiesn tents (Die Grünen), or the attempts by the
aspirants to the office of Munich Lord Mayor (from SPD
and CSU) to outdo each other in respect of finding original
names for the historic Wiesn; with the “Oide Wiesn”
(“Old Wiesn”, as rendered in Bavarian) from the “red”
economic counsellor, Dieter Reiter, being the winner.
anniversary” in 2010, has now been established as a
permanent fixture at the Oktoberfest (with the exception
every four years during the “small Wiesn”), and is
in the focus of this year's advertising in the state capital
of Munich. Nostalgia and Bavarian folk music, local
customs and tradition are the keywords, emphasizing

the other would add up to a Wiesn height of 322 metres!
The Oktoberfest 2011 will be held from September 17 th
to October 3 rd and will spread across a total area of 34
hectares. From the 1,459 applications for the coveted
sites, 617 showman operations were approved. The
break down is as follows: 172 showman attractions,
293 sales stalls, 141 gastronomic operations (including
17 large tents and 21 medium-sized operations)
plus service facilities. All in all, some 12,000 people will
be working at the Wiesn. The price for a litre of beer
has increased by 3.6 percent, meanwhile ranging from
8.70 to 9.20 Euro. In theory, those who want to drink
their beer sitting down have a choice of some 115,000
seats.

for the first time
the return to the cosy Volksfest charm of former times.
This is perfectly reflected in the plain and somewhat
simple Wiesn poster with embroidered images of classic
motifs, such as lederhosen and dirndl, a Ferris
Wheel and chain ride, a beer mug and Brezn, gingerbread
hearts, and “Bleamin” (little flowers), “auf Bayerisch”),
which is also for sale as a hand-made seat
cushion. Apart from this, the advertising brims with exuberant
superlatives, such as “larger than usual” (an
additional 3 hectare area of ground for the “Oide
Wiesn”), “lasting longer than normal” (17 days due to
the public holiday on October 3 rd ), “more secure than
ever” (triple cordoned-off circles around the area, the
outer one 6 kilometres long; 180 traffic bollards within
the inner circle, 80 of them retractable and flashing,
utilising the latest technology). Moreover, all the high
tower constructions and rides stacked one on top of
The showman sector will offer two novelty attractions
this year. With “Rio Rapidos”, Wiesn visitors will be able
to enjoy a rafting experience. Even though the “Wild’n
Wet” rafting construction from Löwenthal already
made a guest appearance in 2006, the “Rio Rapidos”
is now to be a completely new attraction at the Wiesn:
“With spraying rapids, torrents and a veritable waterfall,
a ride on the Rio Rapidos offers watery fun and a
family-friendly adventure. At the brand new rafting ride
from the French manufacturer Cedeal Rides, boats
rotate 360 degrees through the rapids, with the current
determining the running direction. “Portholes in the
fairway offer an unobstructed view of the passengers,
enabling the audience to participate in the speedy
fun.” [Press Release]
Only after the scheduled world première in Rudolstadt,
which will however take place after this issue goes to
press, will it be known what the attraction really has to
offer and what it looks like. The owner of the “Rio Rapidos”
is Sascha Kaiser, for whom it will be the first appearance
on the Theresienwiese with his own ride.
Other family members appearing will be father
Siegfried (Skater), Jasmin (High Energy), and Tanja
(Wellenflug) – four large attractions from the one family.
The novelty ride will be built up at the east side of
the Schaustellerstraße, in the section between Straße
2 and 3.
It was only a matter of time before an XXL swing would
make an appearance at the Wiesn. Several Munich
showmen considered investing in a construction like
this during the last few years. From the two XXL
applications for 2011, HP Maier's “Monster” was chosen.
The giant swing will be built up at the top-end site
of Straße 2, where the attraction with a height of 40 metres
and an outward swing of 47 metres visible from
any distance, will attract many visitors. Despite its
“monster” theme and spectacular ride pattern, the
swing has a slightly Bavarian charisma due to its white

and blue masts, thereby fitting perfectly into the direct
vicinity of Renoldi's rustic “Wild-Stub'n”.
Sascha Kaiser and HP Maier are Wiesn debutantes;
their rides were included in the Munich ride contingent
as additional attractions. Nonetheless, almost all the
large showman attractions from last year will appear
again this year. The only attractions missing will be
Hohmann’s “Magic” (which was presented at the
Wiesn for the first time precisely 20 years ago, but did
not apply this year), and the water ride from Löwenthal,
which will be replaced by the construction from
Meyer-Steiger according to a rotation scheme. While
on the one hand, it has been possible to create additional
space by relocating several attractions to the
“Oide Wiesn” area, a former site for large attractions
has been removed, due to its entrance being at the
top-end of Straße 5.
A look at the fairground map shows that the Wiesn organisers
have succeeded in perfectly incorporating
the novelties and changes into the layout concept.
However, it also reveals a number of unfavourable
placements once again, such as the “Freestyle”, the
Surging crowd in the Wirtsbudenstraße;
that is what the Wiesn looks like in beautiful
weather and at the weekend

smaller predecessor of the “Monster”, being built up in a direct visual line
and immediate vicinity of the towering novelty ride, where it might well be
at a big disadvantage in respect of visitor attendance. As every junction
in the showman area was supposed to be occupied by a different type of
ride, it is hard to fathom why the “Musik-Express” and “Rund um den
Tegernsee” will be built up opposite each other. Moreover, the “Rocket”,
which was located in a relatively quiet area for a novelty already last year,
will have to compete with the neighbouring Ferris Wheel in Straße 5 (always
a difficult location), where it will probably not be able to fully present
its striking height.
Gastronomy Wiesn
A number of novelties from the gastronomic sector are also at the starting
block. True, there has been a wine tent at the Wiesn for some time now,
but a public bar serving wine or champagne in a cosy setting, such as at
the new “Weinlaube” from Claudia Aigner “in the shape of a “rustic wooden
barn” [press release], has not been available so far. Nonetheless, those
cosily enjoying several glasses of wine will not forget that they are still in
the middle of the Oktoberfest hustle and bustle. After all, the new outlet is
located at the foot of the “Alpinabahn”, with its trains occupied by screaming
passengers thundering past. Last year, the tower at the Augustiner
beer tent was built up again. Increased by five metres, the 30 metre construction
will tower over the Wirtsbudenstraße as the landmark of the traditional
tent this year. Another novelty well worth mentioning in the beer tent
section is the piping in of beer from a 'mains supply' and its dispensing
from a closed-circle arrangement of taps inside the “Bräurosl”. Moreover,
nine beer tents will offer smoking areas, demonstrating tolerance towards
nicotine aficionados.
Oide Wiesn
Despite all the aforementioned novelties, the “Oide Wiesn” is the focus of
media attention prior to the event. Will it be as successful as in 2010? Can
the relaxed atmosphere be preserved – with opening hours extended to
10 p.m.? Will the visitors accept the entrance fee of € 3 again, even though
the “exhibition” sector will hardly be represented? After all, the museum
tent and the racing track, and the inclusion of an animal tent providing visitors
with an understanding of all the aspects of “culture” and “tradition”,
had largely contributed to the special flair last year. However, both attractions
were unique elements of the anniversary event and are no longer part
of the “Oide Wiesn”. The contingent of old rides and Walk-through con-

structions is also somewhat smaller than in 2010.
Moreover, it is striking that some of the best-known attractions
have moved from the “normal” Wiesn to the
“Oide” section, such as Stey’s multi-storey carousel,
Schmack’s swing boat, Tille’s Jumbo-Flug, Trollmann’s
Punch and Judy Show, and – most remarkable – Kalb’s
chain ride. They all had been morsels of nostalgia in
the modern Wiesn bustle and technology, but their
move to the quieter section is quite sensible. Over the
years, the chain ride for example, had to cope with the
ever increasing competition from the “Star Flyer” and
Wave-Swingers built up in its direct vicinity. Now – as
was the case in former decades – it will be built up in
the centre of a small but pleasant amusement area, being
the “towering” centre of that fairground area. At a
fare of EUR 1 (obligatory at the “Oide Wiesn”), its 48
chairs will hopefully be quickly boarded and filled by
passengers.
The two ride hits at last year’s “Historic Wiesn” also pin
their hopes on full gondolas: Both Schleifer’s “Fahrt ins
Paradies” and Winheim’s “Calypso” are returning to the
event with high expectations. While the “Humoristisch

from Anett Katzschmann will be presented for the first
time. It was built in the 1950s and was the “most beautiful

carefully modernized over the years, the music is still
played to this day by a barrel organ built as “54-Wilhelmbruder”
in 1898, and rebuilt into a 33-Ruth organ
with double roll in 1938. GDR Nostalgia at the “Oide
Wiesn”: Why Not?
As was the case last year, there will be two festival tents
in the “Oide” section. While the “Tradition” provided
visitors with food and drink already in 2010, the “Zur
Schönheitskönigin” will celebrate its première, replacing
the “Herzkasperl-Zelt”. Moreover, the new musicians
and folk singers tent will offer “lively traditional folk
music for old and young alike, for listening enjoyment
and singing along”. Among other highlights, there will
also be a Bally-Prell song contest, in which the Wiesn
director Weishäupl has already promised to participate.

Beer tent patrons and showmen alike have come to
appreciate the “down-to-earth”, experienced and
competent event manager. The Wiesn 2011 will contain
two minor farewell presents for her. The first will be
the “Pemperlprater”, the first ride from her childhood,
which will return to the Wiesn once again after a break
of several years.
Secondly, the Munich showmen have dusted off and
renovated the “Pressewagerl” (media wagon), a caravan
from the 1930s which she had used as an on-site
press office at the beginning of her term in office, to be
reactivated for a last appearance, and placed next to
the service centre. At 11 p.m. on October 3 rd , Weishäupl,
who does not drink a drop of alcohol after the
obligatory litre of beer at the opening ceremony up until
the closing of the Wiesn, will open a bottle of wine
inside the wagon and drink to her staff with the toast;
“thanks that everything worked out smoothly”. Those
still sitting in one of the emptying beer tents or Wiesn
beer gardens should raise their 1-litre beer mugs in the
direction of the “Pressewagerl”.

150 YEARS ROSENHEIM HERBSTFEST
Text: WVR, Ralf Schmitt

SInce 1861 a Volksfest is held on the Loretowiese
in Rosenheim. An agricultural district festival with
an industrial show in former times, the event increasingly
developed into a true Volksfest, but
one that was not always held regularly.
IN 1873, for example, the Volksfest had to be cancelled
due to the cholera epidemic, and was also
cancelled at the outbreak of the First World War (1914
to 1918), and only came back in 1925 with large beer
tents, a wine tent, and as many as 19 showmen. In
the post World War II years, 1946 to 1949, the “Bavarian
Showman Association” organised an annual
spring festival on the Loretowiese, up until its revival

in 1949. The “Wirtschaftlicher Verband Rosenheim
e.V.” became the organizer and renamed the Volksfest
as the “Rosenheimer Herbstfest” shortly afterwards.
The then autumn festival committee also set
the duration of the event to 16 days, which remains
the case to this day, with the scheduling of the start
on the last Saturday in August. With this decision they
also succeeded in winning the large showman enterprises
from all over Bavaria, and indeed the whole of
Germany, for the autumn festival.
This year, the Rosenheim Volksfest will celebrate its
150 th anniversary. The celebrations were already
heralded with the showman meeting of the Bavarian
Showman Association at the Kuko Rosenheim in February
2011. Additionally, the city museum in the Mittertor
opened a special exhibition called “Lockruf und
Tradition – 150 Jahre Rosenheimer Herbstfest” in
May, which will be open up until the end of the anniversary
event on September 11 th . The exhibition includes
historic pictures, posters, postcards, showman
equipment, historic badges and 1-litre beer
mugs, as well as a large exhibition of local costumes.
The drummer pin is also available, which is at the
same time the “festival symbol” for the historic festival
procession on the first Sunday of the event. On
August 14 th , the Rosenheim Bavarian folk music
archive held a promenade concert in the Riedergarten
under the motto “historic autumn festival music”. From
2 p.m. to 4 p.m. a 9-member brass band played
marches, waltzes, polkas and popular music. To mark
the occasion of the 150 th anniversary, this year's event
opens its gates one day earlier, with the traditional
procession of the beer tent patrons and service staff
on the Friday evening of August 26 th . The historic procession
on the first event Sunday (August 28 th ) will
certainly be the highlight of the anniversary celebra-

HAANER KIRMES
Text: Michael Petersen
The 625 th anniversary Haan Fair is to be
merrily celebrated this year from September
23 rd to 27 th with many special events,
an additional opening day, a historical
market, and a small exhibition at the
premises of the Sparkasse bank.
The fair event, which is traditionally celebrated
in the town centre, is the highlight in the
calendar of events in the garden city located
between Wuppertal and Düsseldorf. A
35,000 m 2 area will be occupied by fairground
attractions of all kinds, amounting to
a front length of about 2,000 metres. The
largest fair event in the Bergisches Land region
has always been happily celebrated,
and ranks among the autumn events in
North-Rhine Westphalia that boast the highest
turnover. Rainer Skroblies from the Haan
town authorities has successfully organised
the event for many years, always carefully
choosing novelty attractions for this venue,
while at the same time also approving regular
participants.
To mark the occasion of the anniversary, the
Haan Fair will be opened already on Friday
at 6 p.m. An hour earlier, an ecumenical
church service will be held in the Catholic
Church in the Köngisstraße. This will be followed
by a festival procession with a nostalgic
tractor and many traditional flags, which
will proceed to the Ferris Wheel, where the
625 th Haan Fair will be officially opened. Additionally
, a minor anniversary exhibition with
historic mounts and numerous pictures of the
Haan Fair will be held on the premises of the
Sparkasse bank. This year, a historical market
on the Königsstraße will be both the heart,
and the most impressive feature of the
event. An ample fairground with
nostalgic rides will be built up in the
centre of a park, including attractions
such as the Caterpillar Ride
(Steiger/Buchholz), Gallopers (Fellerhoff),
Ferris Wheel (Feldmann), “Der
Selbstfahrer” (Müller), “Land des
Lächelns” (Steiger/Buchholz), a
Punch and Judy Show (Wilmering),
and “Hau den Lukas” (Schmidt),
along with tractors, baggage vans
and caravans, as well as a colourful
mixture of nostalgic concession stalls.
Sixteen large ride and funhouse attractions
were chosen for the anniversary
event, including three novelties
for Haan: the “Aqua-Labyrinth” (Markmann),
“Salto Mortale”
(Gusowski/Langenberg), and the
family coaster “Willy der Wurm”
(Roos). While the two annually changing
sites will be occupied by the
“Breakdance No.2” (Bonner) and the
dodgem track “Drive In” (Schmidt),
the following attractions will be deployed
on the Kaiserstraße and the
market: “Südsee-Wellen” (Barth), the
Ferris Wheel “Wonder Wheel”
(Bruch/Schneider), “Octopussy”
(Markmann), “Bayernwippe”
(Krüger), “Turbo Force” (Schäfer),
Wave-Swinger (Hanstein), “Schloss
Dracula” (Schütze), “Looping the
Loop” (Von Olnhausen), “Phoenix”
(Gusowski), and the Musik Express
(Krause). Moreover, younger visitors
will be able to enjoy thirteen different
kiddie rides this year.
On Sunday, interested visitors will be
able to participate in a backstage tour:
Details and terms of participation are
available at www.haaner-kirmes.de
On Saturday, the city authorities, the
showmen and the bakeries will invite
120 seniors to the traditional plum
cake eating event. On Monday at 9:30
a.m., a church service will be held at
the dodgem track, and the evening
will be dedicated to the motto: “Golden
Oldies”. On Tuesday evening, the
fair event will be closed with a fireworks
display. The opening hours at
the Haan Fair: Friday from 6 p.m., Saturday
and Tuesday from 2 p.m., Sunday
from 11 a.m., and on Monday
from 10 a.m. for the 'early tipple'
event.

PREMIÉRE
Première in Düsseldorf:
Hempen’s “Big Bamboo”
The “Big Bamboo”, the new funhouse
construction with show
elements from Robert and
Michael Hempen from Oldenburg,
successfully celebrated its
première and attracted a high
number of visitors at the largest
fair on the Rhine in Düsseldorf,
providing high spirits and fun
from the very beginning.

and good ideas that are realized as perfectly
as possible. Nonetheless, there is
always a significant residual risk. Will the
public actually accept the new funhouse?”
says Robert Hempen. In the case
M
ichael Hempen grew up with shows and caused of the “Big Bamboo”, the answer to this question is
a great furore with the attraction “Das Omen”, most definitely “Yes”. At the Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen,
setting very high standards for himself. His son Robert the construction was not only very well attended but
is now following in his father's footsteps – energetically also provided visitors from all age groups with much
supported by his partner Nadine Ludewigt, and of
course his father. Although Robert Hempen had had
the basic idea for the “Big Bamboo” theme as long ago
as 2007 – the name evoking the magic of the South
Seas, the love of life, the beautiful weather, endless
beaches, the good life, beautiful men and women and,
most significantly, the magical element of water –
preparations and the realization of this new theme
were time-consuming and labour-intensive. While, the
Mike Tegen Studio from
Schleswig-Holstein,
which had already exquisitely
themed “Das
Omen” and “Psycho”,
was contracted to realize
the theme concept
for this Funhouse, the
experienced and absolutely
reliable Dietz
company was chosen
to build the construction.
Together they set
out to bring to life the
project “Big Bamboo”.

as a short raft trip, shaking bridges, water fountains,
various effects and other surprises. After this, the
course goes across a 10 metre upwardly inclined
bouncing suspended walkway into the inside the bamboo
huts, where visitors encounter further animations
and experiences. It has to be mentioned that an
alternative route up might well be a good idea, as the
movements of the bridge are somewhat too strong for
many a visitor. On arrival at the top, visitors are awaited
by a path through the bamboo jungle, with a
simulated tropical climate across footbridges, bridges
and nets. Attention, though! At the sound of the warning
signal visitors should hold on to something, as a
powerful tropical storm blows
through the “Big Bamboo”. Having
passed the moving and beautifully
decorated “Bora Bora Queen” shipwreck
in the lower section, the magic
of the South Seas is over – and the
visitors go “ashore” across a
treacherous landing stage.
Temporary show acts with pretty
dancing girls rounded off the
Caribbean feeling in Düsseldorf. The
“Big Bamboo” logo, designed by the
afaw firm, is dominantly mounted at
the front of the construction, along with
the some 10 m 2 LED multimedia
screen, continuously showing music
videos matching the theme. Soon,
there will also be live scenes of visitors
making their way through the course of
the entertainment. Visitors should take
their time looking over the attraction,
with its many large and small, lovingly designed decoration
elements that provide this attraction with a unique
and cheerful appearance. Technical details: The “Big
Bamboo” requires three transport vehicles, two of which
are incorporated into the construction that boasts a front
length of 22 metres, a depth of 13 metres and a height
of 16 metres. The collapsible water basin pool holds
20,000 litres of water. Further venues of “Big Bamboo”
will be in Augsburg, Crailsheim and Bremen. ■

Première in Düsseldorf:
Sebastian Küchenmeister’s XXL
Swing “Konga”
The première of the brand new
KMG “XXL” Swing, “Konga”,
from Sebastian Küchenmeister,
was rescheduled to an earlier
date at short notice. Due to exceptional
circumstances, there
was a site left at the Düsseldorf
Rheinwiesen – and Küchenmeister
seized the opportunity to present
his ride for the first time
even at this event, before travelling
on to the Hamburg Sommerdom
as scheduled, where the
“Konga” Swing was nonetheless
officially inaugurated. Up until
now, the family Küchenmeister
has already successfully operated
snack and games booth attractions.
In addition to these
operations, Sebastian Küchenmeister
will now also tour his
first personally owned ride.

Küchenmeister:
The theme I chose will be further extended; additional
decoration elements and effects are to follow,
with the elements fire and water playing an important
role.
PREMIÉRE
First of all, we would like to congratulate you
on this impressive attraction. What brought
about the decision to purchase this ride?
Although our family has been extremely successful
with games and snack booths up until now,
we also notice lower turnover – especially in the games
sector. I have considered purchasing a ride attraction
now for some time.
When did you finally get serious about it?
It’s a well-known fact that you should dare to invest
and make the right step into a successful future
in economically depressed times. I was searching
for a ride attraction that stood out from other rides,
which offered a timeless ride experience. An overthe-top-ride
was out of the question however, as the
ride was to appeal to as many age groups as possible,
and entice them to take a ride. As swinging is
associated with carefree fun, I probed the market
and hit lucky with the large swing from KMG.
Was KMG your first contact partner?
Yes! Actually I already knew what I wanted when
I contacted them, namely a large swing from KMG.
How did the talks and negotiations with KMG
go?
Who did the painting?
The in-house DB Decorateur artist from KMG
realized the design according to my requirements.
The painting was done with paintbrush, in complete
contrast to former comic paintings.
How was the ride received in Düsseldorf?
It was very well received by the colleagues,
many organisers, our passengers and fairground enthusiasts.
They were highly impressed not only by
the predominating green colour, but also by the large
name sign on the central axis.
So you did everything right?
I think so. I have not yet come to a standstill
though. I carry a lot of responsibility, and it will still
take some time until everything runs smoothly. I
would like to take the opportunity to thank first of all
the St. Sebastianer fairground committee for making
this successful première possible at the largest fair
on the Rhine, as well as the organizers in Hamburg,
Schwelm, Neheim-Hüsten, Hamm, Stuttgart, and
Rheine – my other venues this year. I would also like
to thank my family, without the unquestioning support
of whom I could not have managed a project like
this.

Negotiations were excellent, it could not have been
better. They took their time to explain the ride to me
in minute detail. The technology is impressive. All the
vehicles are incorporated into the ride. additionally,
building up and dismantling this huge swing does
not require a crane. This is perfect and cuts operating
costs considerably.
When did you sign the purchase contract?
In October 2010, when everything was settled
and delivery was scheduled for the first week of July.
Who came up with the name “Konga”, and
the matching theme?
Both came from me as, I wanted a fully themed
ride. The name “Konga”, derived from King Kong,
stands for height and strength.
The design is imposing. Will anything be added
to it?

SPECIAL
Distel’s “Ikarus” at its first
Wiesn appearance in 1985
It was the ride that formed the impressive
skyline of the worldfamous
Munich Wiesn from 1985
to 1995 – the “Ikarus” from Distel.
It was truly a sensation when this
major ride was built up as a striking
Oktoberfest novelty at the
junction of Mathias Pschorr-
Straße and the Schaustellerstraße
exactly 26 years ago.
What followed on from there was
a colourful life story of this ride,
replete with light and shade, and
now as of the spring of this year,
probably its “good-bye”, as the
“Ikarus” has been sold to South
America.

Ikarus
The 'liaison' Distel/Ikarus had begun on October
29 th 1984; the very day of Distel signing
the pre-purchase contract for a “Condor” from the
Bremen manufacturer, Huss. Before the Munich
showman family signed the contract, they had the
opportunity of getting an impression of the “Condor”
from the Stuttgart show woman Juliane
Schmidt, which had just gone into operation – and
they decided in favour of this ride instead. There
were however, also other Munich showmen who
were interested in this construction at that time;
first and foremost the Goetzke firm. In the end, the
decision was in favour of the Distel family. Even
though the showman enterprise was still operated
under the German corporate designation
“GbR” with father Heinz Distel and Eugen Distel's
brother-in-law Wolf Clauß as partners, Eugen Dis-

tel was in charge of the deal. The reason for
choosing this type of enterprise was due to the
sad fact that Eugen Distel was in poor health at
that time. He had been diagnosed with cancer,
and nobody was able to foresee the course of the
disease. In spring 1985 the time had come: the
“Ikarus” was ready to be collected from Huss; but
just an “aside” worth noting – during the dismantling,
Eugen Distel happened to see the skeleton
construction work of a ride novelty from the Bremen
manufacturer: a construction called “Breakdance”...

Landau/Palatinate, where the ride could be enjoyed
in all its glory, indeed, the Distel firm had
always presented its attractions in individual,
unique designs. In this case, it set out already with
the current name: “Ikarus” was the idea of Wolf
Clauß, and the Distel firm even succeeded in having
the name “protected” at the Huss firm for five
years. Due to its equipment and design – a kind
of “refined antique look” – the ride soon enjoyed
the reputation and the rank of a “noble ride”.
But let us return to the première in Landau – a
venue of excellent reputation at that time: Eugen
Distel recalls that in the course of the event, his
father, his brother-in-law, and he himself were increasingly
disappointed. What had happened?
Answer: The brand new ride had almost no passengers!
Initially, it was not clear whether or not that
was due to respect or simply because the public
was afraid of the 30 metre height. The owners had
watched this fiasco for a number of days before
one of them said: “What in the world have we
done?!” Should the ride really turn out to be a failure
against all expectations? Apprehensively,
they travelled on to the second venue, the
Bergkirchweih in Erlangen, where a heavy burden
fell from the owner’s shoulders from the very opening,
as the “Ikarus” was veritably besieged by the
public. This indeed turned out to be the omen of
its ultimate success. Eugen Distel notes; “We had
to organise security due to the rush!” As business

Dismantling scene:
The top mast section is lowered
was also good at the next venues during the
première season which included, among others,
Schweinfurt, Würzburg, Düren, Bad Kreuznach,
and Worms, all doubts were truly dispelled.
Then came the first Wiesn appearance on the
exposed site at the corner of Mathias Pschorr-
Straße and the Schaustellerstraße. An observer
from that time still recalls the eve of the opening
with the lighting test and even a number of free
rides, as well as the breath-taking impression
provided by the ride’s height, its movements, and
lighting array. As a result of the enormous mass
of visitors besieging the attraction also in Munich,
the trailing cable had to be replaced. The station
and waiting area had to be temporarily extended
and a so-called “emergency paybox” was added,
despite the fact that the fare at a Wiesn ride had
reached the “pain threshold” of 5 Marks. Talking
of the “D-Mark”, when the Huss firm launched the
“Condor”, the price was a proud 1.75 million
Marks. Eugen Distel enjoyed the success of the
“Ikarus” at the largest Volksfest in the world, even
though he could only watch it from the window of
his caravan, as his disease (which, mercifully, he
ultimately overcame) prevented him from playing
an active role back then. At this stage, his brotherin-law
Wolf Clauß managed the ride. Further
venues following the first Wiesn appearance were
Soest and Wiesbaden. After his recovery, Eugen
Distel gradually perfected the appearance of the
ride, by measures such as adding 'surround
sound' and self-produced jingles. It was the
beginning of the some 5-year heyday of the
“Ikarus”.
In 1994, it was decided to redesign
the gondolas. Heinz
Distel had clear ideas for the
redesign and contracted the

Has toured almost every
major fairground in Germany:
the “Ikarus” in Eisleben, Fürth
and Hamburg (f.l.t.r.)
Göhlert firm to realize them. Eugen Distel recalls;
“My father even moved in there for a week back
then up until all four sample gondolas precisely
matched his ideas.” The result was an impressive
graduation of the colour scheme of the gondolas
that shimmered in all the colours of the rainbow.
By the way, it did not take long until Heinz Distel's
ideas were copied, not least by the “Breakdance”
owners, who adopted the “gondola design”
theme that had not been conceived until then. The
mast of the “Ikarus” was covered with reflecting
foil, also shining in all colours after sundown.
Looking back, Eugen Distel also recalls special
events, incidents, and anecdotes he has
experienced during his 11 seasons with the
“Ikarus”. For example, looking up from the operator
stand to the highest point of the rotating ride
one evening during an appearance in Würzburg,
he could hardly believe his eyes when he saw a
passenger swap gondolas during the slow sightseeing
round at a height of almost 30 metres! After
a short moment of shock – when the said passenger
had reached the other gondola – Distel
stopped the rotating element, brought it down and
confronted the man. It was an inebriated American
soldier, who explained in a drunken slur: “I
wanted to go to my wife in the other gondola”. Eugen
Distel will also always remember an appearance
at the Frühjahrsmess in Kassel. Due to a
change of staff, Distel had to climb up himself
while dismantling the ride in the early morning
Snapshots from the
Hofmann/Jehn era.
Due to the rush at the Berlin
Christmas Market a borrowed
“Magic” paybox was used
50

hours, forgot an important
step in the procedure,
and was stuck at
the top. As nobody from
the staff knew what was
required to rescue him,
his brother-in-law Wolf
Clauß – who was luckily
not too far away in
Gießen – was called.
Nonetheless Eugen Distel
had to hold out in cold
temperatures until his
“rescuer” arrived who,
after having had a good
laugh at seeing his helpless
brother-in-law stuck on the
top of the mast, freed him from
his predicament. In 1995, the
decision to purchase a new ride
(“Jumping” from Huss) meant
parting with the “Ikarus” at the
same time. “In the last few
years, our passengers were almost
only families, so business
grew increasingly weak in the
evenings,” explains Distel, this
being the reason for the
change. The “Ikarus” was traded
in for the new ride at Huss
and, surprisingly, showed up
again in Austria at the start of
the 1996 season – presented by
the Rüdiger firm. However, this
new era lasted only about one

SPECIAL
The “Ikarus” on
its last journey in Germany,
from Berlin to the Hamburg container
port
April 2011: On arrival
at the Hamburg port, the ride
was reloaded and prepared
for transport by ship to South
America
and a half years. Even in the summer of 1997, the
ride returned to Germany under the management
of the Hofmann/Jehn GbR firm from Leipzig/Eisenach.
In the beginning, it was only toured throughout
Eastern Germany (among other venues, in
Dresden, Peitz, Leipzig, Eisleben, and Magdeburg),
where the “Ikarus” was a novelty at many
a fairground. From the second season however,
the “Ikarus” also reappeared at its former venues,
being present even at major fairgrounds such as
Bremen, Hamburg, or Fürth. However, as apart
from the occasional exception, its success left
much to be desired, the “Ikarus” was temporarily
decommissioned in 2003. Even though a Dutch
52

showman enterprise announced the comeback of
the “Ikarus” for 2004, this was in fact never realised.
The ride was then purchased by a completely
different firm, the specially founded
“Blume-Wollenschlaeger GbR Berlin-Bremen” –
cooperation between Charles Blume and Thilo
Wollenschlaeger. They treated the now ageing
attraction to the finest technical and visual overhaul
that captured the hearts of many “Ikarus”
fans. The colour of the transport vehicles was
changed from the still existing “Distel red” to
“Blume blue”. Moreover, a new neon name sign,
a powerful Uhlenbrock sound system, plenty of
additional lighting elements, spotlights, and a
fresh colour scheme turned the attraction into a
veritable jewel – without changing its original
character. Additionally, “Der Mhytos” was added
to the name. The new visual appearance was
strongly emphasized by kitting the staff out in Roman-style
costume, and professional commentators
making announcements over the microphone.
Blume-Wollenschlaeger stepped into the
new “Ikarus” era at the German-American Volksfest
2004, and after an appearance at the
Freiburg Herbstmesse, they finished the season
at the Christmas Market in front of the “Palast der
Republik” in Berlin. With their operation style and
the racy ride pattern, they apparently tried to
establish the ride as a “Thrill” construction rather
than a family ride, but with limited success. When
Blume left the GbR after almost two seasons,
Wollenschlaeger
put the “Ikarus”
into storage. Thilo
Wollenschlaeger
only built up the
attraction again at
the Neukölln Maientage in Berlin in spring 2009 for
TÜV approval and inspection by prospective buyers,
who were also able to examine the ride at the
German-French and the German-American Volksfest
in the capital the same year. And very successfully
too: there was a serious prospective buyer
from South America who, although he not wanting
to sign the purchase contract in October 2009,
made a down payment to underline his serious interest.
After a long period of silence, things finally
got going in early 2011 and the purchase contract
was signed. This April, the “Ikarus” transport vehicles
may well have set out on their last journey
through Germany, from Wollenschlaeger’s premises
near Berlin to the Hamburg container port. The
destination of the sea voyage was Santiago de
Chile, the capital of Chile, and then further on to the
“Fantasilandia” amusement park. It has not yet
been revealed when the attraction will go into
operation there.
We would like to end the life story of one of the most
prominent German rides from the last decades with
an unforgettable quote of Hilde Distel, Eugen Distel’s
mother who, sadly, recently passed away: “The
Ikarus was our most beautiful ride.

At the end of the Wolfsburg Schützen- und Volksfest
(May 27 th to June 5 th ), the “Schützen Colonel”
Rolf Wolters, and Peter Vorlop, both in charge of
fairground management, gave a quite positive
review. Due to ideal weather throughout the event
and a very attractive selection of fairground attractions
presented to the public in numerous
advertising campaigns, it was possible to register
some 400,000 visitors to the fairground in the
Allerpark.
Thanks to this record-breaking result almost all the
showman operations reported good to very good
turnover. Due to its very modest fair price, the Alpina-
Bahn from Bruch enjoyed great popularity in Wolfsburg,
and the major and round
ride attractions also appealed to
the public. The “Booster Maxxx”
was virtually besieged in Wolfsburg, but the “Rocket”,
the “Around the World” chain ride, and the “Atlantis-
Rafting” were also very well attended.
Placing the “Happy Sailor”, the “Venzianische Pferdekarussell”
and the “kiddie-Baroque-chain ride”
next to each other was somewhat unfavourable
though. They would have fared much better if there
had been a little bit more space between them. This
year’s daily changing programme inside the Marris
beer tent, with the Schützenfest Dinner on Ascension
Day, the show programme from “Captain Cook” and
many VIPs from the political scene as highlights, was
very successful.
All in all, the organizers, the police, and the Red Cross
talked about a peaceful and harmonious family Volksfest
without any unpleasant incidents.

SCHÜTZENFEST HANNOVER
Text: Uwe Holzmann

The Schützenfest in Hannover 2011, which
was held from July 1 st to July 10 th and rejoiced
under the grandiose title “largest Schützenfest
in the world”, is now a thing of the past.
Given that the event has pretty much gone
down the tubes during the last few years, an
organizing team headed by Klaus Timaeus
from the Lord Mayor's office had made every
effort to devise a new concept for this traditional
Schützenfest.
On the last opening day almost all the participants
were quite satisfied with the new initiatives, such
as live music acts, a Gardeners Night and the
NDR party. Even the President of the Lower Saxony
Showman Association, Arthur Armbrecht,
concurred with the new concept and reported
positive trends on the Schützenplatz in the state
capital. This year visitor attendance, which according
to the organizer was felt rather than was
real during the last few years, was accurately
logged and announced to have been in the order
of 1 million visitors. Additionally, the new and ap-

pealing actions from the Hannover

an increasing number of visitors
to the fairground, earned a
lot of praise as they not only led
to higher beer consumption,
but also benefited the showman
attractions. After continuous
rain during the first weekend,
the weather improved on the
Tuesday, resulting in a noticeable
increase in visitor numbers
from Wednesday on. The Family
Day, the second Fireworks
Friday and the final Saturday
could almost describe the
Schützenplatz as being
thronged with visitors. Such an
event hadn't been seen in
years, and with the considerable
increase in families attending with children,
made most of the participants feel confident. The
operator of the Ferris Wheel appearing at the
Schützenfest for the first time was very much interested
in returning there next year, and operators
of major rides and round rides, reported quite
satisfying results in Hannover. One can only hope
that with the support of the administration and the
Lower Saxony Showman Association, the positive
trend will continue in the coming years and that
“Hannover” will become a special July Volksfest
in the calendar of events once again. ■

ANNABERGER KÄT
“Frisbee” (Zinnecker) in
Annaberg-Buchholz
Text & Photos: Rolf Orschel
From June 25 th to July 3 rd , the 491 st Annaberg
Kät once again enticed ten thousands of visitors
to the large district town. The most traditional
Volksfest in Saxony offered a skilfully
laid out fairground with a number of prominent
novelty ride and funhouse attractions.
As is tradition, the oldest and largest Volksfest in
the Erzgebirge is always held 14 days after
Pentecost. Due to Pentecost falling late this year,
the event began only on the last weekend in
June, overlapping with other large national
events. Nevertheless, visitors from all age
groups were able to enjoy a total of 100 traditional
and modern ride and Funhouse attractions,
as well as many concession stalls on the more
than five hectare fairground below the Pölberg
this year. The “Euro Coaster”, “River-Rafting”,
Lagerin‘s giant chain ride “Luxor”, the “Columbia”
Ferris Wheel (Burghard-Kleuser), Kutschenbauer’s
“Magic House” and the dodgem track
56

“Golden Cars” from Meyer were chosen as Kät
novelties. (Incidentally, the dodgem track from
Hickmann, which has been among the regular
Kät attractions for decades, had a contract for
the Schützenfest in Hannover, which began on
the second Kät weekend.) Other attractions
presented were the Musik Express (Baier),
“Frisbee” (Zinnecker), “Magic” (Müller-Volklandt),
“Breakdance” (Pilz), “Geistervilla” (Zinnecker),
“Sound Machine” (Welte), “Extrem”
Propeller (Boos), “Crazy Outback” (Hofmann-
Jehn), chain ride (Krause), die “Euro Rutsche”
(Kutschenbauer-Roden), and a simulator. Moreover,
children could enjoy the “Super-8-Truck”
from Katzschmann family, Illgen‘s “Bimmelbahn”,
Katzschmann’s kiddie ride, the “Dschungel
Express” (Walther), Fieseler‘s “Kinder Taxi”,
the Jet Ride from Tschou and the pony ride from
Glaß. The selection of attractions was rounded
off by a varied mixture of concession stalls of all
kinds. Although the ride contingent offered a lot
of fairground fun, visitors missed a large first
class attraction this year.
Moreover, it was noticeable that there were an
unusually large number of Dutch showman
operations. Fairground director Christian Eberhardt
commented on the selection criteria and
placement of the rides as follows: “It was pure
coincidence that so many Dutch showmen were
represented at the Annaberg Kät. Initially, it was
not particularly noticeable to us that many of these
operations belonged to Dutch owners or operators.
In the end, this was not important though as
all agreements and contracts were fully met and
realized. We cannot say for sure whether or not
the Kät was on their tour schedule, although we
know that the “Euro Coaster” and the River-Rafting-Bahn
were originally to appear in Bayreuth.
Due to the terraced fairground, the selection and
placement of the attractions not only depends
on their attractiveness and uniqueness, but
more importantly on their ground measurements
and the logistics issues involved in their build up
and dismantling.”
Despite the efficient
placement of the
novelties and the appealing
layout of the
fairground, a large
coaster or looping
track, a higher Ferris
Wheel, and a giant
swing were sadly
missed by many a
visitor. In addition to
the annually repeated
highlights, showmen
and visitors were
offered a special
highlight from Monday
to Wednesday,
namely, scenes for a crime-thriller being shot at
the Kät for the first time. The private television
station, “Constantin Television GmbH München”
produced scenes for the TV series “Die
Draufgänger” with leading actors Dominik Boeer
and Jörg Schüttauf for three days. In these
scenes they fought criminals and recklessly endangered
people, right in this fairground setting.
The scenes were shot mainly in the mornings,
among other sets on rides, inside and outside
the beer tent, and on the adjoining sports field.
To capture the special Kät flair, a number of
shootings were also made during opening
hours.
Even though it is indisputable that the Annaberg
Kät is the largest Volksfest in the Erzgebirge,
advertising for the event urgently requires
intensification and to be more widely dispersed.
Only a few posters in the direct vicinity and in the
town, as well as a banner spanning the B 95 federal
highway called attention to the event. It is
preposterous that there was not a single poster
to be seen in the surrounding region and larger
neighbouring cities, such as Zwickau and
Chemnitz.
Additionally, the fairground
was poorly marked for non locals
arriving by car from the direction
of Aue. It is also hard to
fathom that no politicians from
the state government showed
up at the fairground for the
opening or during the Kät.
Nonetheless, the Annaberg
Kät was well worthwhile seeing,
but a carefully prepared
“pick-me-up” would not harm
the largest Volksfest in the
Erzgebirge.

The ride attraction at the
Volks- und Wiesenfest in Wunsiedel
The 10,000-resident district town in
Upper Franconia celebrated its traditional
Volks- and Wiesenfest for five
days in early July (1 st to 5 th ).
Wunsiedel is not only known for its
porcelain industry, but also for the
Luisenburg Festival and the “Sech-
58

sämtertropfen” liqueur. Heiko Perz from Fürth, who
was in charge of the event for the first time, celebrated
a successful première.
A new broom sweeps clean, as they say, and so there
were a number of new initiatives which were well received
and appreciated by the public. A new feature
was the layout, which led the public past every attraction.
It replaced the old layout with the two streets,
one of which had always been “good”, the other
“bad” – resulting in “winners” and “losers”. This time,
there was an equal chance for all attractions. 23 societies
participating in the opening procession from
the market square to the beer tent set a new record.
Also new this year was Bastian Schuhmann with his
large tent. He would like to return and is confident
about the excellent potential to extend his menu,
which always includes fresh spiced knuckles of ham
and spit-roasted chicken in Franconia. All in all, the
list of participants included 24 showmen, among
which the ride trio – the “Sweety Star” from Werner
Hoech & Sohn, “Polyp” from Manfred Schinkel, and
the “Top Spin” from Hartmut Langhoff as a surprise –
were the highlights. For 40 years, the Perz family has
appeared in Wunsiedel, presenting varying ride attractions
– currently the large dodgem track. They are
familiar with the situation and always combine the
wishes of the town authorities with reality, while at the
same time giving deference to regular participants.
In contrast to the last few years, greater importance
was attached to Wiesenfest procession of school
children this year, and for the finale there was a première
in Wunsiedel – a fireworks display accompanied
by music – which enthralled everybody. The meeting
of the showmen on Monday in the presence of the
town authorities was also livened up with discussions
about the further development of the event. The Police
Chief Inspector praised the five-day event and was
highly satisfied with the newly introduced deposit on
beer mugs, which substantially reduced the usual
amount of broken glass and the number of crimes.
Mayor Karl-Willi Beck gave a highly positive review
and wants to continue the success story, and the
participating showmen talked also of a generally upward
trend. There is still potential for improvement
however, for example, the toilet facilities inside the
tent, which did not come up to standard and required
short-term improvising, due to the sanitary container
on the fairground having been deliberately destroyed
by vandals prior to the event. Moreover, the town
authorities might well improve the advertising of the
Volks- and Wiesenfest on the internet, as it deserves
to be as remarkably well presented on the internet as
at the local Brunnenfest.

The fair adjoining the Jakobimarkt in Schwäbisch
Hall was held from July 22 nd to 25 th under the management
of the new organiser PL-Event.
The Jakobimarkt consists of a bric-a-brac market
with 130 marketers on the Haalplatz (organised by
the city authorities), and the fair on the Kocherwiesen
in the district of Steinbach. The style of the new organizer
showed in novelty features and changes.
Positively worth mentioning was the clearly improved
and extended advertising for the event. A new beer
garden as a small oasis for resting and relaxing –
slightly off the fairground course and an alternative
to the large beer tent – was very well received. The
kiddie rides built up in this new garden however, did
not really fit in, and did not achieve good results either.
Moreover, two additional large attractions were
built up on the fairground. This may well have
pleased the visitors, but it also decreased the proportions
of the individual showman attractions in the
overall turnover. Strangely enough, the Ferris Wheel
was place on a concession stall site, where it could
not serve as a visual landmark of the fairground, visible
from any distance (especially after sundown).

novelty this year: the
“Fünfer-Looping” from Barth

The largest fair on the Rhine was ill-fated this
year. Due to cold and rainy weather, financial results
fell far short of expectations. According to
the organizers, visitor attendance at the Rheinwiesen
was about 1 million down on previous
years, despite this year’s event being extended
by one day.
As a result, there has to be a corresponding decline
in turnover. The adverse weather was particularly
bad for the kiddie ride sector, where business was
weak on weekdays as the weather forecast kept
families from visiting the event. The weather may
well not have been the only reason for the decrease
in visitor numbers. As school holidays began only
on the second opening weekend, the kiddie rides
and game booths did not have the usual family public
in the early evening hours. Especially disappointed
was the operator of the Rhine ferry between the
fairground and the medieval city centre, who
achieved the worst turnover ever since he began
the ferry service. This year, the fair opened already
on a Friday for the first time. Unfortunately, the organizer
had failed to advertise this fact. As a result,
the countless posters did not mention the additional
opening day but only the duration of the event.

No pleasure to look at –
but required: the effects

An opening fireworks display would certainly have
emphasized the importance of the additional day.
However, due to the high costs of the new security
concept, there was no money left for a second fireworks
display.
The opening of the fair took place at the main entrance
near the Oberkassel Bridge on Friday at 2
p.m. Unfortunately, the deliberate arson attack on
the “Glücks-König” Continental Pick Stand cast a
shadow over the opening day. When police investigation
and the dismantling of the burnt down ruin
was over, the gap was filled by another Continental
Pick Stand and a kiddie ride. In the afternoon of the
new opening day, business was quite modest. As
visitors started to arrive at the fairground only at
about 7:30 p.m., business on the additional day im-

proved only in the evening hours, with the aforementioned
consequences for a number of sectors.
After the opening of the Schützenfest on Saturday
however, visitors rushed to the fairground, and the
event enjoyed a high visitor attendance in the early
afternoon. Unfortunately, heavy rainfall at the best
time of the day prevented excellent results this day.
Nonetheless, it was amazing how long the visitors remained
on the fairground despite the poor weather.
On the first Sunday, Düsseldorf had a dream day
with masses of visitors, as many indeed as on its
best days to date, and guests were not exactly
reluctant to spend their money. The promising Sunday
was quickly followed by disillusionment due to
business on the otherwise 'strong-turnover Pink
Monday' being weak; indeed, to an extent never before
experienced. While business on the weekdays
was also rather slow, the Friday fared somewhat
better, including a fireworks display exceeding all
previous dimensions, and due to the Rheinbahn
transport service transporting 800,000 passengers
on the day. Indeed, the use of public transport was
more popular than ever before: 85 percent of the
visitors arrived at the fairground by bus or tram.
Nonetheless, sales of the favourable combi-ticket
were low – only 1,000 tickets were sold. Due to
criss-crossing of visitor masses, something of a logjam
occurred in front of the Alpinabahn in the
evening hours. After a 20-minute impasse, the new
security concept intervened. The security personnel
were able to channel the visitor masses and
reroute them along the illuminated escape routes.
While super Friday was followed by a very good
Saturday, the closing day was virtually washed
away, bringing about further losses.
Never before had a gap between winners and
losers on a fairground been so wide. Financial results
in a number of sectors were not only affected
by the weather, the placement also played an
important role. Open rides and beer gardens suffered
more seriously from the weather than roofed
rides and beer tents, the latter having been always
well frequented. What about the Füchschen and the
Uerige tent: Were they really missed? No, the
guests simply switched to other tents. The new twolevel
(but somewhat spartan) Diebels tent and the
new Schumacher barn could not really complain
about a lack of visitors. Those drinking Füchschen
beer were served their usual brand of beer in the
“Tiroler Dorf”, where they celebrated happily. Talking
of the “Füchschen”: In the festschrift of the organizer,
the brewery announced that it will “have a
hell of a party at the Rheinwiesen 2012”. How can
they make such a proclamation? The approval
decision is made by the organiser, and not by the
applicant, or not? While the majority of gastronomic
operations and beverage outlets were first-class
and well worth seeing, the appearance of a beverage
attraction on the former “Uerige” site was more
than pathetic. A more appealing showman attraction
would have been preferable in this location.
As Sebastian Küchenmeister's giant swing “Konga”
was approved to the largest fair on the Rhine
at the very last minute, two new attractions celebrated
their début at the Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen. The
Hempen firm also managed to punctually open its
novelty “Big Bamboo”. The anxiously expected “Rio
Rapidos” rafting ride from the Kaiser family, however,
was unfortunately not completed in time for
the event. Due to the cancellations of the rafting ride
62

as well as the announced “Höllentaxi”, there were
a number of changes on the site map, which affected
the layout of the fairground significantly. As a
result, all the towering giants were built up in direct
proximity to each other – except for the “Star Flyer”.
“Konga” and “Booster-Maxxx” were placed back to
back, “High Energy” occupied the bay within sight
of the “Flash”, together with the Ferris Wheel and
the “Power Tower” – quite a sensory overload. However,
it offered many appealing motifs for the photographers.
It must also be said that there are also unfavourable
sites for ride attractions, for example, the one occupied
by the “Flash” this year. In previous years, the
“Airwolf” and the “Phoenix” had already struggled
to cope there. From this location, visitors apparently
only had eyes for the large attraction occupying
the bay on the banks of the Rhine, where the “Fünfer-Looping”
was presented as another top attraction.
Even the nostalgic “Der Selbstfahrer” dodgem
track did not fare too well in the vicinity of the steel
giant. Richard Müller presented the track with new
backflash tarpaulins, fences and name signs.
Moreover, he exhibited an old dodgem car and an
old traction unit.
While layout mistakes like this are not noticeable to
the visitors, they may well mean heavy financial
losses for the showmen. It speaks in favour of the
organizer however, that it was a very different
Rheinwiesen than during previous years. The
tragedy during the Duisburg Love parade has left
its marks in the layout of fair events. Delays due to
the new security concept, the cancellation of a
large novelty, the fire at the Continental Pick Stand,
short-term cancellations, and newly approved attractions
changed the image of the fair almost hourby-hour.
Moreover, more sensible relocations were
not always possible, as many showmen had already
built up their attractions. This was also the
reason for the concentration of the “highlights”.
Next year, everything will look even better in Düsseldorf
and the time schedule will be changed.
There will be no more pressure caused by the new
security concept, as the new additional escape
routes and escape staircases are now determined.
Fortunately, the head of the fairground committee,
Thomas König, is always willing to take a risk. True,
premières of major rides or Funhouse attractions
present a risk. Nonetheless two large attractions
were able to make their début in Düsseldorf this
year.
Due to the arson attack and an accident at a ride,
this year’s fair attracted a lot of local and national
media coverage. During the run-up to the event,
there were many reports about the cancellation of
the two beer tents, which was tantamount to an
earthquake. Then there was the arson attack on the
opening day, and finally a child fell out of a ride and
was slightly injured. The latter incident was largely
blown out of all proportion by the local reporters,
who described exaggerated flight heights which,
were they accurate, the child would surely have
been able to fly! The hyperbole of many reporters
truly knew no bounds! Moreover, there was once
again the well-known biased report about the
prices on the fairground; neither could the press do
without the usual testing of fairground attractions
this year. Is that really necessary over and over
again?
That was the Rheinwiesen 2011 that the showman
industry had pinned its hopes on. Summary: The
expensive security concept was excellent; all the
visitors kept calm in the pushing crowd on Friday
evening and were rerouted by the security personnel
after just a short time. Financial results fell far
short of the Düsseldorf possibilities, for which the
weather was largely to blame. However, there were
also a number of things that require changes. The
additional Friday has to be intensely advertised and
livened up by special actions, such as a happy hour
in the afternoon, and a fireworks display in the
evening hours. On dry days Düsseldorf has
demonstrated its possibilities and just how many
people truly love the fair.

IN MEMORIAM
On July 7 th 2011, Gottlieb Löffelhardt,
founder of Phantasialand,
passed away at the age of 76
years in Brühl, after a long illness.
With his death, the industry
has lost a showman of the old
school, held in the highest esteem
by all within the professional
sphere, who succeeded
unfailingly in realizing all his visions,
and did so within so many
sectors of the amusement industry.
With the numerous ride attractions
that he presented either
on the fairgrounds or in his own
amusement parks, he enthralled
millions of people throughout
his life, bringing them unforgettable
and truly distinctive hours
of entertainment – be it in Germany,
Brazil, or Italy.

The young Gottlieb Löffelhardt
with his father and the “Höllental-Express”
GOTTLIEB LÖFFELHARDT
Gottlieb Löffelhardt was born in Berlin on December
25 th , 1934. As the christian name
“Gottlieb” had been handed down from generation
to generation within the showman dynasty of Löffelhardt
ever since 1851, he already ranked as the
fourth “Gottlieb”, also called “Sohni” by many. His
father Gottlieb Löffelhardt was a Wall of Death rider,
just as were his brothers Peter and Franz. He began
his career himself in the very same capacity as a
rider on the Hugo Haase Wall of Death, which he
took over himself later on, and where he met his future
wife Hertha, whom he married in 1932. The
young Löffelhardt family settled down in Berlin Treptow.
In 1936, his father added
the first ride, “Raketenfahrt zum
Mond”, to the Wall of Death. Due
to its great success, he purchased
yet another attraction,
namely the “Großglocknerbahn”
shortly afterwards. Both
attractions were toured in the
Gottlieb Löffelhardt during one of his last
public appearances: In Rome in October 2010
Berlin region, and in the eastern regions of Germany.
With the Second World War approaching, the Löffelhardts
started a second career so to speak, by
founding a haulage firm. Despite the terrible war, the
haulage company worked at full capacity, whereas
the two rides and the Wall of Death were closed
down. In this way, the Löffelhardts were able to survive
the war. In 1948 they moved their offices to
Hamburg, giving up the haulage firm and concentrating
on the showman business. The Wall of Death
was reactivated and a Ghost Ride called “Höllental
Express” was purchased.
At the age of 18, he made the first major decision in
his career and joined his parents' firm in 1950. His
father offered him two options; either a salary of
2,500 marks as a manager or 70 marks “pocket
money” and a 30 percent share in the property of
the family. Gottlieb Löffelhardt chose the 30 percent
and became a partner in the family enterprise. As
business boomed, further attractions were purchased
in the following years, an additional multistorey
Ghost Ride taken over from Austria, and a
dodgem track from Zierer. One of the two Ghost
Rides was elaborately rebuilt into the “Globetrotter”
by Anton Schwarzkopf in Münsterhausen.
Next, the manufacturer Mack was contracted to
build the racy “Fahrt zum Mars” Ghost Ride. At this
point in time, if not sooner, the future core competency
of the Löffelhardt operations was clearly discernible:
Ghost Rides. In 1955, a daring step was
taken and the “Düsenspirale” ordered from
Schwarzkopf. The project was however, almost a financial
disaster. The time-consuming construction of
the complex and heavy construction was marred by
numerous delays, almost ruining both Löffelhardt
and Schwarzkopf. When it eventually joined the tour,
66

Franz Schwarzkopf had to come along as chief engineer
in order to ensure the build up and dismantling,
as well as the operation of the clumsy “Düsenspirale”.
After these troublesome experiences, business
relations between Schwarzkopf and Löffelhardt
were put on hold for the first time. Over the
years, the existing “Globetrotter” was repeatedly redesigned
and thrilled its passengers as the “Orient
Express”, or as “Spukschloss” to the very end of its
service. Looking back, Löffelhardt summarised it
thus: “Among all the Ghost Rides we owned, the
‘Spukschloss’ was the most successful."
In 1963 Löffelhardt took over the “Geisternacht im
Urwald” from Willenborg. In the meantime, a number
of attractions were operated as partnerships
and with relatives as leaseholders, such as Walter
Löffelhardt or Christel Löffelhardt, who together with
her husband Paul Stratemans, operated a Ghost
Ride on a contract basis in order to purchase it at a
later date.
During the period of Germany's so-called economic
miracle, the booming enterprise benefited from the
sound understanding between father and son Gottlieb.
They continued to invest in attractive and appealing
ride attractions, such as a “Jaguar” Musik-
Express and the “Luftwipper” from the Mack firm
from Waldkirch. When the latest ride attractions from
the Klaus firm from Memmingen were in strong demand
a little later, the “Hula Hoop”, “Tolle Jolle“,
“Mondtaxi”, and an Allround were operated under
the management of the “Löffelhardt Betriebe”. As
competition for profitable events, such as the
Cannstatt Wasen, Munich Oktoberfest or Bremer
Freimarkt became increasingly fierce, Gottlieb Löffelhardt
searched for a 'competitive edge' and discovered
the system of the Scandinavian Tivolis,
whereupon he organized permanent sites for a
number of his operations in Copenhagen, Gothenburg
and Stockholm. According to a closed swap
system, rides such as the “Hula Hopp” were built up
for a whole season, so the attraction paid for itself
over an extended period of time. Löffelhardt operated
within this distinctive system up until 1965.
On December 16 th 1960, Gottlieb Löffelhardt married
Astrid Ercoli, the daughter of an Italian-German
showman. At the same time, the 25 th anniversary of
the “Löffelhardt Betriebe” was celebrated. In 1964
their son Robert Gottlieb Löffelhardt was born, followed
by their daughter Astrid in 1969. Gottlieb Löffelhardt's
chance meeting with the puppeteer
Richard Schmidt at the world-famous Berlin Wintergarten
Varieté had far-reaching consequences. In
many conversations about how
to use the lovingly and elaborately
carved puppets and stage
scenery, particularly after the decline
of the great film era, they ultimately
came up with the crucial
question: “Why not found a fairytale
theme park?” The idea of
Phantasialand was born! While
Richard Schmidt made the first
figures and scenes in a vacant
chair factory, Löffelhardt was in
charge of the commercial promotion.
The decision in favour of
Brühl was not entirely coincidental,
as Schmidt lived in Brühl,
where he knew everybody, from
the Mayor to the director of the
bank. The new park of the two
visionaries was built on the former
brown coal field, “Berggeist”.
On the very day of the
opening, Brühl’s former Mayor
Robert Ehl warned them; “...
don’t go bankrupt too soon!”
His worries were unfounded
though, as 400,000 visitors were
welcomed to Phantasialand
even in the first season. Gottlieb
Löffelhardt recalled: “The visitors
virtually besieged the park even
“Globetrotter” and “Düsenspirale”
Löffelhardt rides:
“Luftwipper”, “Hula Hoop”, and
the “Mondtaxi”
on opening day on April 30 th 67

IN MEMORIAM
“Polyp” and the
suspended Ghost Ride
“Fliegender Teppich”
At Phantasialand:
gondola ride “1001 Nacht”
and the water ride
1967. Our wives gave us all
the required support. At first,
we wanted them to join us in
the tour of the park along with
the guests of honour, but the
rush of visitors was simply too
great, and so they sold ice
cream and popcorn clad in
cocktail dresses”. The visitors
were enchanted by the
scenes in the fairytale forest,
experienced an artful puppet
theatre on the open-air stage, or enjoyed themselves
in the adventure playground. They were also
able to do a round-the-world tour in a veteran car,
go on the western-style railroad to the cowboys and
Indian venue, or enjoy a Viking boat ride, or a bathtub
ride on the lake. There were days when the
streets all around Brühl were blocked for many kilometres.
Even in the early morning hours, lines of
cars rushed in the direction of Phantasialand.
Richard Schmidt stood inconsolably at the Autobahn
exit and waved the disappointed families on
when the park had already been closed due to overcrowding.
Nobody could have guessed that the
small fairytale park would develop into one of the
largest amusement parks in Europe over the next 40
years.
Löffelhardt, together with his parents, continued to
operate his successful showman emporium in addition
to the newly opened Phantasialand. In 1966,
the Memmingen Klaus firm built a “Polyp” for Löffelhardt.
As he was not satisfied with the delivered
metal sheet gondolas, the Phantasialand employee
Hoffmann created the typical fish-chaise, which was
then installed in both Löffelhardt “Polyp” rides. In the
meantime, the shape was copied by numerous firms
and can be found today on many Polyp rides and
Ghost Rides. Only twelve years after the disaster
with the Düsenspirale, Löffelhardt purchased a new
ride from Anton Schwarzkopf; the travelling suspended
Ghost Ride “Fliegender Teppich”. It was a
magnificent ride in an oriental design, equipped
with a lushly decorated façade and marked the
beginning of a long-term, trustful and friendly cooperation
between Gottlieb Löffelhardt and Anton
Schwarzkopf, which proved to be very successful.
On September 17 th 1969, Gottlieb Löffelhardt suffered
a cruel blow of fate when his parents, Gottlieb
and Hertha Löffelhardt, died in a serious traffic accident
near Hiltpoltstein on their way to the Munich
Oktoberfest. Notwithstanding this tragedy, the park
was extended thereafter from year to year.
In 1970, the Schwarzkopf Gondola Ride “1001
Nacht” was added, which was modelled on the suspended
Ghost Ride “Fliegender Teppich” and the
“Alt-Berlin” theme area was inaugurated. Henceforth,
the “Phantasialand-Jet” Monorail, built in Münsterhausen
as was the Gondola Ride, supplemented
the compliment at the Phantasialand. On the fairgrounds
however, the brand new, imposing “Geister
Rikscha” from Mack went into operation, which
was to be the last newly purchased travelling ride
for the Löffelhardt Betriebe. A cooperation was embarked
upon with the Rick firm from Hannover, and
together they operated the “Jumbo Jet” coaster –
huge by the standards of that time – until they were
able to sell it to the USA. As Gottlieb Löffelhardt decided
to concentrate on the park from then on, the
first notices of sale appeared. One of the two Klaus
“Polyp” rides was built up in Phantasialand, while
the remaining attractions – including materials –
were sold. Shortly after the opening of Phantasialand,
Löffelhardt and Schmidt made further investments,
as the amusement park industry continued
to boom. They invested for example, about three
quarters of a million into the first German Lion Park
in Tüddern, run by the animal trainer and artist Hans
Rosenberg, to offer the Germans the pleasure of a
safari. As another investment, Gottfried Löffelhardt
bought a share in the “Playcenter” in São Paulo,
Brazil. Due to the energetic support from Gottlieb
Löffelhardt and the numerous used rides from German
manufacturers that he brought to Brazil, the
São Paulo Park became a top venue. The park in
Brühl-Badorf continued to grow. When the first water
ride in Germany was built by Löffelhardt himself,
it provided the park visitors a welcome cooling down
in summer. In the western theme area, the large An-
68

ton Schwarzkopf Coaster “Bobbahn 1” (later on
“Gebirgsbahn”) was built up, which was covered by
an artificial mountain range during the following season.
Another coaster, the “Bobbahn 2” – an Alpenblitz
from Schwarzkopf, which was later known as
“Grand Canyon Bahn” – was incorporated into the
“Bobbahn 1”.
The large fire on May 1 st 2001 belongs to the darker
side of the history of the park. Due to a technical
fault, a fire broke out on the “Grand Canyon Bahn”
and spread to the mountain range, so that both rides
quickly burnt down. Luckily, all the passengers were
able to be rescued, thanks to the determined action
taken by the staff. Another landmark was the opening
of the “China-Town” theme area in 1981 after a
construction time of two years, where hundreds of
construction workers, craftsmen, and artists from
Taiwan assembled millions of individual sections
delivered from China. Schmidt and Löffelhardt were
the first Europeans to be awarded with the “Chinese
Culture Medal” in Taipei.
In 1987, the magicians Siegfried and Roy presented
Phantasialand with two white Bengal tigers for its
20 th anniversary, and to mark the 25 th anniversary
visitors were able to enjoy an appearance of the two
magicians themselves. In May 1996, Löffelhardt
pulled off a much-noticed PR coup, when he enticed
Michael Jackson to Brühl – where the legendary star
opened the brand new Vekoma Mine Coaster as the
“Colorado Adventure – “The Michael Jackson Thrill
Ride”, no less! The creative Richard Schmidt had already
retired in 1994 and sold his share to Löffelhardt’s
son, Robert. As a result, Phantasialand became
purely a family enterprise. About 4 years later,
Robert Löffelhardt took over the sole management
of the park, which he had operated with his father
Gottlieb until then. At the same time, the share
in the Brazilian “Playcenter” was sold off, while Gottlieb
Löffelhardt was offered an opportunity in Italy almost
simultaneously. The Mirabilandia Park near
Ravenna in Italy, opened by a financial syndicate in
July 1992, enticed only about 650,000 visitors annually,
instead of the targeted 2 million. After numerous
problems, the park was sold to Gottlieb Löffelhardt
and his partner Giancarlo Casoli in November
1996, for which the sophisticated Löffelhardt
even moved to Italy. Within only a couple of years –
marked by high investments into appealing attractions
such as the B&M Coaster “Katun”, or the huge
prominent Ferris Wheel from PAX – annual visitor attendance
increased to some 1.5 million. In 2006,
Mirabilandia was sold to the Spanish chain Parques
Reunidos. Löffelhardt no longer participated in business
affairs after that, “I am, and remain in retirement”,
he said.
Indeed, Gottlieb Löffelhardt – who enthralled the
public – has always avoided the limelight. He once
told a journalist: “Nobody knows Gottlieb Löffelhardt;
you had better
interview my partner,
Richard Schmidt. He
has much more to
tell, and his work is
much more conspicuous.”
Nonetheless,
regular visitors to
Phantasialand knew
his face, as he had a
house with access to
the park, which he
used for his daily
tours of the park until the very last.
Throughout all these decades he has never forgotten
his roots, and so tirelessly stepped in to show
support for all showman industry concerns at a social
and political level. He could be regularly seen
on various fairgrounds talking to old-time fellow travellers
and friends such as Fritz Hoppe. Additionally,
he worked as an expert advisor for amusement
and event parks for the DSB (German Showman
Association), while he also travelled as an ambassador
for the European Showman Union. He also attended
showman industry events, such as the annual
IAAPA or the “The European Theme Park Legends”
forum at the EAS 2010 in Rome, where he
spoke about his ample experiences, and his rich
lifetime's work.
With his commitment, his courage and his visions,
Gottlieb Löffelhardt made Phantasialand into one of
the largest and most popular amusement parks in
Europe. With his cheeky and fine sense of humour,
his willingness to help and his respect for other people,
he made friends all over the world. On one
hand, the Phantasialand founder will always be remembered
as a brilliant entertainer, and on the other,
as a tough but fair businessman whose motto in
life was to “make people happy”.

TOP ACT
BA view from the lift
hill onto the new attraction:
in background the Intamin
coaster
A real pirate needs his own treasure
island, and most probably
that’s exactly what Djurs-Sommerland-Boss
Henrik B. Nielsen
must have thought when placing
the “Skatteoen“ (Treasure Island)
without further ado next to his Intamin
MegaLite-Coaster, and
with that upgrading the Pirate
Land of Djurs massively.
Text & Photos: Tim Herre
Not only the new water
coaster, but the great theming
is a an eye catcher
Skatteøen
Initially the reactions were more or less reserved –
after all “Skatteoen” looked to be no more than a
half clone of the “Poseidon” on paper. But the eyes
take in a ride as well, and there’s quite a bit of choice
visible on the snappy ride. The condition of the construction
at the opening was quite remarkable for
these days as well: it appears that Djurs doesn’t
work according to custom, because in this case the
ride was totally completed before handing it over to
the public.There were no construction fences and
no scaffolding – at Nimtofte novelties are presented
on the first day as though they were always
there. In actual fact this should be taken for granted,
but unfortunately – particularly in Europe – the
situation has developed to being socially
acceptable over the past years to offer ride
guests structural equipment even in the case of
the most standard of rides, and the decoration,
if there is any, is delivered step by step over the season.
In such cases it’s quite regularly the “hard winter”
that was responsible for making building work
impossible. On that note one must ask the question
as to whether the weather in northern Jutland is
different to anywhere else in Europe!
The park has installed an authentic little pirate
village in cooperation with the theming specialists,
the Danish firm Creation Group from Ringsted.
Everything appears very upmarket and continues
the ever-present high quality of the rest of the
“Pirate Land”. Even the artificial rocks, mixed with
gunned concrete and small pebbles, manufac-

RIDE FACTS
tured by the Danish Rockbuilder firm from Odense,
give the whole area an authentic appearance.
The station is in the style of a small castle ruin; however
before even reaching the station, guests must
walk through a complete area – similar to that of big
brother at Europa-Park. There’s nothing left to be
desired for the junior pirate: ship wreck, scull-rocks
– everything’s there. In the station the first figures
are waiting: a creepy pirate skeleton sends the ride
guests off in the search of treasure. The ride travels
past other victims of the greedy ones, as the pirate
colleagues all appear to be rather emaciated,
not to mention bony. The treasure can be admired
a short time later, but unfortunately a huge
octopus has cleverly put it under its
tentacles. Oh well then, it’s off to the top:
the following lift stretches 28 metres into
the air, which is followed by a large bend
to the right, a small decent and through the
block brakes, which is all followed by the
first large curvy drop that sends the boat
almost to ground level, then into a wide
right curve that causes an ascent to almost
20 metres. Following another block brake,
which during normal operation doesn’t
really have any braking function, there are
two other drops, which in the process become
steeper with a resulting impressive
airtime effect that is so cherished on the
“Poseidon”. The boat in this case also
drops into a cave and flies then with panache over
a small airtime hill veiled in water spray, before
disappearing into a huge bow wave. And naturally
the obligatory “soak zone” can’t be missing on the
“Skatteoen”, which on the day of our visit was
sensationalised by a number of obstinate Danes,
despite the moderate temperatures.
Summary: The best parts of “Poseidon” have been
packed into the “Skatteoen” with refreshing
application. The ride has been excellently choreographed
and is lots of fun from the first to the last
second. Even in the point of staging, “Skatteoen” is
at the very least very worthy.

The park and its attractions
don’t want to be noticeable
at just any price, but offer more
of a nature experience
It was originally founded by Ernst Schuster as a
fairytale park in 1967, but very soon he had other
plans, and built the Franconian Wunderland that
opened in 1976. He sold the area in Ruhpolding in
1979 to Peter Aigner Sr. who had already started to
build up a fairytale park in 1970 in Marquartstein,
only 30 kilometres away from Ruhpolding. In the
interim the attractions have been taken over by his
sons. The older son Peter Aigner Jnr. operates the
Märchen-Erlebnispark Marquartstein, whilst Ludwig
Aigner has managed Ruhpolding since 1997.
A few years later, he changed the name into
Freizeitpark Ruhpolding. But an amusement park
needs a coaster, and so already at the turn of the
century the decision had been made to extend the
supply of attractions. Initially though investment
was made in the infrastructure, and in the years
from 2004 to 2006 the restaurant “Tischlein deck
Dich” was constructed, with the simultaneous closing
of the area north-west from it. It was first in 2009
that thoughts regarding the coaster became more
concrete again.
74

The park is located on a forested mountainside,
which on the one hand contributes to a setting with
lots of atmosphere, but at the same time this also
means that there is hardly any level area available
of a considerable size. So it was obvious right from
the start that the coaster had to fit in with the topography.
Additionally the construction was to be
something special: “We couldn’t score with the
length, so we needed a good idea, a special gag”,
explained Ludwig Aigner. So the focus was on a
Shuttle Coaster right from the beginning, which
travels the same course forwards and then reverses.
Ludwig Aigner then contacted Gerstlauer Rides
with these specifications; no other manufacturer
was approached. Although a wooden coaster was
discussed for a short time because this type of
attraction would have integrated excellently into the
overall park picture, but space conditions and extreme
dampness during the traditionally snowy winter
in the area put an end to the idea very quickly.
Following the conclusion of the contract in the
spring of 2010, Gerstlauer began work on the construction
details. A Shuttle Coaster had not yet been
built by the firm, so there were a number of new
aspects to take into consideration. These concerned
in particular the friction drive lift at the end of the
course. A free roll of the operating motors allows the
The track course near the
ground and clinging to the
mountainside is a very special
characteristic of this coaster
The station area will be attractively
designed by next

75

COASTER
The ride begins with
a reverse lift, before going
downhill
A trendy parallel turn that
could be found on big coasters
is also built into the course but
in this case is travelled through
too slowly to achieve airtime
train to be taken over smoothly as soon as its speed
corresponds to the speed of the friction drive system.
The ideal contact pressure is determined during
the start up. When the train travels down the
second lift backwards again, the rolling direction of
the friction drive wheels is reversed.
A definite opening date was not scheduled initially,
because the weather in particular can very quickly
have an effect on a timetable. Although Pentecost
was kept in view, “summer” was scheduled as a
precaution. “We had snow from the 10 th of December
until the end of January” said Ludwig Aigner,
so the infrastructure could be completed by the
middle of April without any hectic. The subfloor
comprises of a two to eight metre thick bed of clay
over the rocks, in which anchors were affixed that
carry the 38 foundations. The construction was built
up by the middle of May, followed by putting the attraction
into operation and the TÜV inspection.
And without much ado, the
“Gipfelstrümer” was released to the visitors
on Pentecost Saturday. Although the
station is still very provisional, this will
change in the near future, and the dimensions
are already recognisable on
the massive timber framework. The wood
comes from the family owned sawmill,
and some of the processed trees had
stood in the area that the coaster has
been built on. Currently the roof is covered
with slate shingles, and with that fits
in smoothly with the optical impression of
the park. “In winter we have up to two metres
of snow, which means a snow load of
390 kilos per square metre”, explained
Park Manager Aigner. The the interior finish
were developed by an artist: wooden
carvings of the local animal world will replace
temporary decoration from building
timber. The animal world can also be seen
in the train design, as the front car is decorated as
the head of an ibex including impressive antlers.
The seats are divided, and each one has its own
lap bar. In combination with the additions on the bar
pipe that prevent passengers being able to stretch
their legs out of the car, the attraction has been released
for children with a height of one metre as
well. Those under six years of age must be accompanied
by an adult in the same car.
The ride begins with the train being pulled out of
the station backwards and onto the lift. In the case
of “Gipfelstrümer” the height is nine metres, and
due to the sloping site is not more than 1.5 metres
above the ground. Finally the train comes to a
standstill in an almost horizontal position, whilst the
lift chain catch goes into the predetermined position.
In order to increase the passenger tension, the
vehicle holds this position for a short time. And then
it’s downhill, with the train travelling through the station
at nearly 50 kilometres per hour. This is followed
directly by a three quarter right curve, after which
the train ascends and travels over and away from
the station exit. This hill offers a directional change
that however is travelled through a little bit too slowly,
but naturally the same intensity can’t be expected
as on a large coaster. The moderate speed is
however comfortable owing to the following backward
section. In the meantime, the course leading
to the left travels close to the ground again, and an
S-formed swerve ends with the second lift. Amazingly
the train is seized by the friction drive wheels
jerk-free here, bringing the vehicle once again into
an almost horizontal position that is the same height
as the section on the other end of the track. These
two end sections of the lift were planned for effect
and also to eventually install housing. However, the
view from the first lift onto the mountain setting is so
impressive that this would mar the experience. The
reverse section of the ride now begins, with the train
being braked at the end of the station, coming to a

and approximately 45 seconds ride time, the enjoyment
is over.
Just as the “Schlange von Midgard” at Hansa-Park,
the “Gipfelstürmer” is also convincing with its unbelievable
smooth running. The train glides over the
course with a suppleness that is often not experienced
even on kiddie coasters. “We have a wolf in
sheep’s clothing here” said Ludwig Aigner not without
good reason. Up to four times the force of gravity
provides enough load in the valleys, and the two
turns remind one not only optically of coasters in the
larger calibre. And not to forget the fact that reverse
riding wasn’t implemented on rides with these dimensions
until last year. The “Gipfelstürmer” is very
popular with the smaller park visitors, and adults
also have their fun. The park and manufacturer have
done everything well, and with an investment
amount of a little over one million Euro, there may
well be more “Gipfelstürmer” in the future. ■

PORTRAIT
At long last! Holiday
Park will be a theme park.
But can the mega-coaster
“Expedition GeForce” live
in harmony with kiddie
comic figures?
Holiday Park celebrates its 40 th
birthday this year, and at the
same time, big television stars
are moving into the park such as
Maya the Bee, Wickie, Tabaluga
and the Anubis House. All the
more reason for us to present a
revue of the park over the past 40
years, and to take an exciting
look into the future.
Holiday Park Reloaded

No question about it: Maya
the Bee and her friends are the
darlings of the public
In November last year, Holiday Park was the first
German park to become a member of the Belgian
theme park group Plopsa from media company
Studio 100, which was founded in 1996 as an
internationally operating company. In Germany, the
big television stars Maya the Bee, Wickie, Tabaluga
and the series “Das Haus Anubis” belong to the
Studio-100-Family, and with that Holiday Park has
apparently received just what was missing over the
years: the correct themes. And in actual fact the
new operator is using the large parks such as
Disney as a model, but the way there will still have
to take some time.
The first outside influences can already be seen in
the first season after the takeover. The old mascot
Holly has been joined by Maya the Bee and Flip,
Tabaluga and Wickie. They already all greet visitors
at the entrance, and naturally also in the complete
park area.
The first successful rebuilding step can already be
seen on the large area before the “Freefall Tower”,
the “Tanzenden Fontänen” that has upgraded the
rather dismal “Platz der Nationen”, and offers water
fun for the smaller and older kids. At long last the
waiting area for the Freefall Tower has been newly
designed, and prettified with scenes from Haus
Anubis: there are a number of pictures and video
sequences from Haus Anubis inside, and on the
roof of the building there is also a large video
screen, showing excerpts from the television series
that can be seen from afar.
“Holly’s Fahrschule” is located before the Wild
Mouse “Holly’s Wilde Autofahrt”, which only opened
last year, and fitting to the theme, small visitors can
have their first experience in driving a car on the
attraction. A special highlight here is the petrol station.
With smiles from ear to ear, almost every child
stops to hold the nozzle to fill up the car, and there
are no tears regarding the current high petrol prices
either. The cars are naturally battery operated and
are recharged daily by personnel.
A number of rides came into being right on time for
the start of the main season, in particular for children.
A number of attractions have disappeared,
among others the aged track ride “Tour des Fleurs”
that has been replaced by the track ride arena “Flip
der Grashüpfer” from Metallbau Emmeln. The curvy
course travels through a colourful flower world, and
78

past figures from the well known series. The chaises
in the form of grasshoppers move up and down
smoothly during the comfortable 172 metre long
course.
The kiddie Freefall Tower “Majas Blumenturm”, a 12
metre high tower from Zierer, which was not completely
themed as a huge sunflower with seats in
the form of petals at the beginning of the season,
stands directly nearby.
Another family attraction is located in the new Maya
the Bee area: “Herr Frosch” from Zamperla is a
small roundabout with bright green frog figures
travelling up and down in a circle. Some may, without
a doubt, already know “Herr Frosch” from other
Plopsa-Parks in Belgium or the Netherlands.
Other already existing ride constructions fit in
amazingly well with their design into this new bee
area – did perhaps the earlier Park Manager Wolfgang
Schneider foresee years ago that Maya would
move into his park? Other than that, the new park
management has discovered the target group of
children up to 3 years of age, a group that has been
somewhat neglected by Holiday Park for many
years.
The “Anno Tobak”, the canal water ride that came
into being in 1974, is now the “Tabalugas Abenteuer”.
Although the 260 metres long boat ride continues
to travel through the spruce forest since July,
which is now called “Tabalugas Grünland”, there
are also promised themed highlights for the whole
family with many special effects and ten deceptively
authentic looking animatronics figures. Passengers
will undertake an adventurous journey with the
small dragon and his friends in order to save visitors
to Arktos from the evil ruler of “Eisland”, in
imaginatively designed boats with onboard-audio.
The “Dancing Fountains”
in front of the Freefall Tower
will become the centre point of
the park after the erection of
the new entrance arbor

“Flip” from Metallbau Emmeln
opened punctually to the
main season; and since then
it’s all about travelling through
fields of flowers on the back of
a grasshopper – perfect theming
can be so simple when
one knows how
“Herr Frosch” from Zamperla
asking for a dance
This update of the ride comes at a cost of 750,000
Euro, and is the result of close agreement with
musician Peter Maffay, in co-production with
Heimotion (the successor firm of Heimo), and Goldbogen
Entertainments.
The History of the Park
Even though themed attractions are missing at Holiday
Park in many corners, the park has played a
leading role over the past 40 years, by the adaption
of ground breaking innovations that were often
installed only later at other parks – an advantage of
owner-operation that doesn’t require long term
decision-making. Holiday Park remained in private
hands for 40 seasons, and that’s reflected throughout
the whole park. Erika Schneider, founder of
the park and being a show-woman,
hoofed it initially through the country
with a midget group, and purchased
the “Pfälzer Märchenpark” in Hassloch
in 1970. A stationary midget
village came into being there, together
with a midget circus. As extension,
a dolphin show and a zoo were
added, and already in the first year
70,000 visitors could be counted. The
first vaudeville theatre opened in
1972 with 600 seats, and the success
of the dolphin show was celebrated
with a new dolphinarium with 1,800
seats.
Holiday Park considered a varied
show programme to be of importance
quite early, and in the following years
also busily set about establishing a
choice in gastronomy, offering cafés
and restaurants. In 1978 the first
180°-cinema in Europe was opened, and in 1979
the still currently presented “Superwirbel” went into
operation – a Corkscrew attraction from Vekoma,
which in the first years after opening retained its
charm and was considered a novelty. There were
constant extensions and rebuilding in the whole
park, new restaurants, and with the “Pfälzer Dorf”,
the only theme park area in the park.
The larger park attractions came after son Wolfgang
Schneider took over: the “Donnerfluss” went
into operation in 1984, and was the first Whitewater
Rafting construction in Germany with a rotating
platform as entrance. In the following years attractions
such as the “Burg Falkenstein“ were added –
a ride through medieval scenes in a lovely setting,
and the “Teufelsfässer”, a water attraction with, at
that time, the longest drop in Europe. The records
continued: the “Freefall Tower” from Intamin was the
first in 1997 in Germany, and a huge sensation. 30
years Holiday Park was celebrated in 2001 with one
of the largest coasters in Germany, and even today
“Expedition GeForce” with its 82° inclines has no
equal in Germany. The park is particularly proud of
the long history of its waterskiing stunt show that entertains
with a new show programme almost every
year, and will be able to celebrate its 30 year existence
in the 2012 season. A lovely extension to the
waterskiing-lake is the “Lighthouse Tower”, an 80
metre high “Starflyer” from Funtime, which opened
in celebration of the park’s 35 th year anniversary in
2006.
Holiday Park was able to present innovative novelties
and played a leading role as example for other
German parks for some time. However during the
past years the park could no longer hold this position,
a fact which was reflected in the visitor numbers.
Another reason could also be the lack of a
successor within the Schneider family, resulting in
80

a steady sinking of willingness to invest. Insofar, it
remains to be hoped that the entry of the new characters,
the transformation into a real theme park,
and a consistent structure can tie the park to its past
success, and that visitors very soon can submerge
themselves for a whole day in the fascinating world
of Maya the Bee, Tabaluga and Wickie.
At any rate the first half of the new season under
new management broke all records: an unbelievable
60% visitor increase to the same period in the
previous year! Steve van den Kerkhof, CEO of the
Plopsa-Group:”We were sure that the Studio100
characters and the new concept would bring a
large response, but we hadn’t counted on such an
increase in visitor numbers.”
As a result this year’s investment amount is to be
two million Euro, followed by a further nine million
Euro next year. The two million will be used to realize
or more specifically extend the “Biene Maja” theme
area (between the current entrance and the “Anubis”
Freefall Tower”). And at long last seven million
will be used for a real entrance arbour between the
parking area and the Freefall Tower. An estimated
amount of 25 million Euro will be used for the redesign
and extension of Holiday Park into a theme
park over the next five years. An indoor park independent
of weather conditions is also a possibility.
The target is however to change the regionally orientated
park into a nationwide family attraction with
the help of the well known TV-characters. Patrick
Elmendorff from Studio100 Media (earlier EM.TV)
explained that their own characters have a 3 generation
potential, which is something that other
comic figures lack, for example Spongebob.
“Majas Blumenturm” from
Zierer which unfortunately isn’t
designed as a flower tower at all
The redesigned water ride
will be the only attraction with a
Tabaluga theme for the time
being – not well known enough
according to Park Management

Plopsa’s Strategy in Germany
The defined goal of the Plopsa-Group is to establish
four locations in Germany by 2020, for which a total
amount of 100 million Euro has been set aside, the
half of which is for the new flagship Holiday Park
(incl. purchase). The three other locations have not
been decided but should be across the country, so
that national advertising pays off. For cost reasons
there is a look out for already existing theme parks
or indoor parks explained Steve van den Kerkhof at
the press conference at the end of June. The erection
of a new park together with a strong partner is
not out of the question however.
One could suppose that one of these strong partners
could well be the German television station
ZDF. At the very least, since the takeover of the
EM.TV licences for Maya, Wickie, Tabaluga and
other characters, there has been a stable business
relationship between ZDF and Plopsa/Studio100.
Besides that, the cooperation with the German
television station has resulted in the new version of
the Maya the Bee comic series (produced in Paris
and London), which will be aired from 2013 – and
with that actually being one year too late for the best
possible marketing – with Maya flying around looking
somewhat rounder and in rather glarier colours
in 3D optic. The bizarre aspect of the whole thing
is that of all people, the earlier Park Manager of
Holiday Park Wolfgang Schneider – together with
Fritz Wurms (Hollywood- and Safaripark Stukenbrock),
and the recently deceased Gottlieb Löffelhardt
(Phantasialand) – successfully sued against
the planned ZDF-Mediapark, and with that prevented
the construction of a theme park realized with
public monies.

MAXX WATERPARK
Text:
Frank Lanfer
Photos: Polin
The Turkish water slide manufacturer Polin only
introduced this new slide idea at the previous
IAAPA 2010 event, and only six months later, in
June 2011, the first “King Cobra” went into
operation.
Two parallel sliding lanes start
from a mutual platform, where
park guests climb into twoseat
tubes. After sliding
through a type of partially
covered figure-8-element, the pipes open again,
followed by an approximately eight metre drop at
up to 50 km/h. However at the other end of this
Boomerang-element, the name giver cobra
snake, tries to devour its passengers. The tube
slide dives into the throat for a short time and
disappears behind fog, sprays of water, and
sound effects before shooting towards the ground
again by the aid of gravity, and so avoiding the
poisonous snake. In addition to these special
effects, the complete colouring of the slide is
particularly noticeable, making it something very
special among water slides optically.
84

The location of the first “King Cobra” is the 40
hectare sized MAXX-Hotel-resort in Belek on the
Mediterranean coast, around 45 kilometres from
Antalya. The establishment’s own water park is
10,000 m 2 in size and contains 10 different slides
that all stem from the Polin firm, which was
founded in 1976. A second “King Cobra” was
opened in the Russian Djubga water park on the
11 th of June, and will be followed by five other constructions
of the same type for 2012.
■

SPRING VALLEY BEACH
The water slide “360Rush” from
SplashTacular that was introduced
at the IAAPA exhibition in
2009 has been realized for the
first time. And the location of the
world novelty is the small water
park Spring Valley Beach in
Bluntsville in the US State of
Alabama.
Basically the “360Rush” is a Bowl-slide that however
has a lot higher start point, and with that
a considerably higher sliding speed. And above
all – and this is actually a world première – it is
used by two persons at the same time. This is
made possible – the third improvement of a Bowl-
Slide – by the exact simultaneous start by way of
the very popular trapdoor mechanics in the meantime.
So, two dauntless sliders take their place
in the two individual cabins at a 17.5 metre
height. Then the countdown starts and the floor
claps away from under their feet at exactly the
same moment. They shoot at a nearly vertical
angle through the 81 centimetre wide pipes that
smoothly change into the horizontal, releasing the
passengers at nearly 60 km/h into the bowl. The
two slide ends deliver an exciting race into the
13.7 metre diameter container. However as both
inlets are on opposite sides there is at no point the
possibility of coming too close to one another. The
run area is located in the centre of the element
that is exited over small stairs and a small bridge.

Almost all park guests can take part. They must
only have a minimum height of 1.22 metres and
can only have a maximum weight of 140 kg. The
manufacturer of this unusual slide construction is
SplashTacular, which was founded in 1994, and
is located in Kansas.

AQUATICA SAN ANTONIO

After the SeaWorld Park in Orlando had introduced
a new water park in 2008 (see KPR
5/2008), the Texan SeaWorld is also to be extended
with a bordering water park. As is the
case in Orlando, this area will also be called
Aquatica, but different to Florida, it will not be
newly erected.
The new Aquatica is a separated part of SeaWorld
San Antonio, and replaces the “Lost Lagoon” area
that has been in existence since 1993, the use of
which was included in the admittance price. That
will change after the new opening planned for the
end of May 2012. “For that though, visitors will experience
a complete new theming in an extended
seven hectare water park”, explained Dan Decker,
the President of SeaWorld San Antonio.
The “Wave Wash Pool” with a 7,500 m 2 sized beach
area and lawn for sunbathing, the Lazy River “Castaway
Crusin’”, the three-level water playground
“Splash Attack”, and a number of water slides were
already in existence. Now however the number of
attractions will increase to 38, among them the main
attraction “Dolphin Plunge”, which has a 76 m long
see-through pipe that also leads through a water
basin where dolphins romp about. This construction
is already known from Aquatica Orlando, which
is extremely popular. The new water slides have
been supplied by the two Canadian firms ProSlide
and WhitewaterWest.

DISCOVERY COVE
Whilst a section of the successful
and exclusive theme park
has been closed due to the urgent
need of restoration after
which it will be equipped with an
unknown new attraction, the
6,000 m 2 sized extension “Grand
Reef” with a depth of up to 3.6
metres and 6.6 million litres of
water and a large sandy beach
and a couple of hundred sun
beds, was opened in June 2011
as compensation.

Just as earlier in the old “Tropical
Reef”, visitors can snorkel to their
heart’s content and not only observe
1,000 colourful fish, stingrays, and eels as well
as artificially grown coral reefs, but also have
surprising eye-to-eye meetings with sharks and
other dangerous predatory fish (behind glass
panes).
The approximately 20-minute “Sea Venture”
adventure is also being offered as a further
novelty and additional up charge attraction – a
type of guided underwater stroll.
Participants are equipped with a 75
pound diving helmet that only
weighs 15 pounds under water and
causes a comfortable feeling of
weightlessness.
In actual fact guests are only a few
feet under the water during this dive,
but it feels and looks as though it’s
20 metres.
By the way, the important salt water
for the sea dwellers is kept clean
and germ-free by a new ozone filter
system from Siemens.
Around 800 personnel look after the maximum
number of 1,000 daily visitors, and the around
10,000 sea creatures; 95 zoo keepers and trainers
are responsible for the well being of the 45
dolphins – all a personal and cost intensive business
that justifies the all-inclusive admittance
price from 199 $ (including 14-day entrance to
another SeaWorld Park).

This would be a great further development for

adaption of a water park!
On the 6 th of June the normal Evergreen Aviation

containing 10 slides from WhitewaterWest, into operation.
A decommissioned Boeing 747-100 has
been mounted on the roof of the up to 19 metre high
roof of the building, with the four rear emergency
exits being used for slide departure: the largest is
170 metres long and the fastest 110 metres long.
Inside the 6,000 m 2 building there is amongst others,
an “Aquaplay” water playground over which a
somewhat minimized fire fighting helicopter empties
water over the heads of the parks guests every
few minutes from a container... And peaple say that
a museum is dry! The operator of both the museum
and the water park is the freight airline company
Evergreen International Airlines.

ADVENTURE WORLD WARSAW
The announcement resulted in
unbelievable and absolute astonishment:
the first modern theme
park in Eastern Europe is to
be erected in Poland. Building
should begin already next year,
and the opening of the complete
resort including hotel and entertainment
facilities is already
planned for 2014. Another project
that will never be realized?
By no means!
Text:
Frank Lanfer

Peter Jan Mulder (left) and
the town Mayor Grzegorz
Benedykcinski at the press
conference in Warsaw
When one looks closely, the location is ideal.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, it was particularly
Polish residents who headed for the nearest
entertainment world. As a result for example,
the North German Heide-Park experienced its
strongest visitor years in its existence in the 1990s,
due to the countless Polish guests. And it’s still
Germany’s neighbour that makes up for the larger
part of the guests at the indoor water park Tropical
Islands near Berlin that opened in 2004. Both German
attractions are still popular – for example two
busses travel from Warsaw daily to Tropical
Islands – after all there is no similar facility in Poland.
Why not then establish a theme and water
park within the country, thought the resourceful
businessman Peter Jan Mulder.
In actual fact Mulder’s announcement is a declaration
of war on the abovementioned
establishment:
“Naturally we hope to bring
back many visitors”. And for
this reason the Adventure
World Warsaw has to be a
fully adequate theme resort
with a mature park and attractive
indoor water park
according to western standards
right from the beginning.
And there’s more: the
aim is to be rated with
Disneyland, Efteling and
Europa-Park, or perhaps be
even a little better.
In order to achieve this, the native Netherlander
who founded the Las Palm LLC has gathered a
type of “Dutch connection” around himself.
Hans van Driem from International Destination
Strategies (earlier Creative Manager at Walibi park
group) is responsible for consulting. The Vekoma
Rides Manufacturing is the main rides and attractions
supplier and is also involved in the engineering
support. Jora Vision is working on the master
planning and theming for the park and the main
hotel. AGS Architects are responsible for the
drafts for the Aquadome, Hotel, and building
planning. Tebodin B.V. (more precisely the subsidiary
of Tebodin Poland) is responsible for
project management, and Imtech NV (Imtech
Polska) is the construction company, which
specialised in large projects.
92

After having to distance themselves
from a 40 hectare sized ground area
on the outskirts of Warsaw due to
problems with residents, a property
was found in autumn 2010 in the
small town of Grodzisk Mazowiecki,
located approximately 30 kilometres
from the capital. The future possibility
to erect something other than
a theme park and entertainment
district on the 240 hectare area that
is ideally located directly on the
freeway from Warsaw to Berlin that
will be completed in 2012, such as
a financially lucrative shopping mall
or factory outlet centre is out of the
question. According to the mayor of
the town, Grzegorz Benedykcinski,
the area concerned has been
zoned as a recreation area. In actual
fact there were already a number of attempts to
establish a theme park in Warsaw. For example
Michael Jackson wanted to erect a subsidiary of
his Neverland-Ranch there, and Denmark's Tivoli
proclaimed the intention a number of years ago of
building an almost identical inner city park as in
Copenhagen in Poland’s capital city. This time
however, everything is different, assured the likeable
initiator P. J. Mulder: the point of no return has
been overstepped because an 80-person team is
no longer working on the design, but already on
the realization.
The first building phase is estimated to cost 400
million Euro, and is to already commence in the
spring of 2012. It will contain the theme park, water
park, and hotel and entertainment village with a
cinema complex, restaurants, pubs, and discos.
The second phase is planned to be completed by
2020, and will comprise of a second theme park,
a conference centre with additional hotel and a
luxurious wellness centre for an additional 350 million
Euro. A 90 metre diameter and up 30 metre
high dome is planned to be erected for the indoor
water park “The Palm” containing ten water slides
and themed in a Caribbean style, and will be an
architectural master feat.
The planned entrance to the theme park reminds
one strongly of the area at Disneyland Paris, because
visitors here will also have to use the hotel
underpass to reach the park. The park theme will
lean strongly towards the myths and legends of
the world, and will be divided into five theme areas,
similar to the situation at the Universal Islands
Of Adventure in Florida: the Mainstreet “Adventure
Harbour” will entice visitors with merchandising
and restaurants, the “Creature Lagoon” will be in
cartoon-style, the medieval “Castle Island” will be
associated with the current Harry-Potter-hype, the
“Legendary Island” will unite the temple constructions
of the Maya and the Inca, and the
“Polski Plaza”, opened all year round with principally
indoor attractions, is a homage to historic
Warsaw. A total of 25 attractions and shows will
spread over the park grounds.

The fact that the Dutch manufacturer Vekoma as
main partner will naturally supply most of the ride
constructions is logical, among them are the
Junior Coaster “Pegasus Taxi”, the mine attraction
“Merlin’s Rainbow Hunt”, the Junior-Boomerang
“Ra’s Challenge”, the Madhouse “Twardoski’s
Mansion of Magic”, and a “Sky Shuttle” viewing
tower. Only a “Twist ’n’ Splash” from Mack, a Rapid
Ride from Hafema, a number of kiddie and smaller
round rides from Zamperla, and various water
slides from ProSlide have been additionally purchased
to attain a balanced spectrum of attractions.
Peter Jan Mulder is very sure about his project of
a lifetime: “The fact that there is a huge demand
is proved by the many Dino-Parks in Poland that
have an unbelievably large clientele, although
there’s not much to see except 20 or 30 stiff plastic
dinosaurs.” Although there are a number of Lunaparks,
they are only comparable to third-class fairgrounds.
Naturally the local average wage has to
be kept in mind. Mulder, who is married to a Polish
woman, explains: “The Poles don’t save as the
Dutch do, but spend everything.” This is the reason
that the many shopping malls in the country
are always full, and he considers a future admittance
price of 24 Euro as reasonable. This project
is also using the possibility to profit from the EUgrants
of nearly 70%. In the official press announcement
however there was something quite
vague mentioned to the tune of an “international
consortium of private and institutional investors
having a registered seat in Luxembourg.”
The projected total visitor number of two million
visitors annually for the theme and water park,
together with the entertainment complex appears
realistic, however the question remains as to
whether this number justifies such an expensive
theme resort. In comparison: Efteling und Europa-
Park have over four million visitors – and that without
a cost intensive indoor water park. Wouldn’t it
be more sensible to erect a park for “just” 50 million
Euro at the start such as Belantis in East Germany
that had to start with nil initially? However it’s
all about the will of the initiator team to be Tropical
Islands, Europa-Park und City Walk all at the same
time – perhaps too much of a good thing all at
once.
However this plan does have a great chance of
realization, as one fact speaks volumes: it will be
the first modern theme park in Eastern Europe that
the 38 million consumer friendly population of
Poland wants desperately. Initiator Peter Jan Mulder:
“This project will change Poland, and the
country will never be the same as before.” Looking
at it from a recreational angle, the time is right.
It remains to be hoped that the opening will take
place in three years.

themes being orientated on Babylonian, British,
and Roman influences that actually existed in
Jordan. The architecture offices Callison will be

Krause Bohne GmbH
An investment group intends to erect a 381
million Euro residential area and theme park on
the German-Polish border near the city of
Görlitz.
The idea stems from the Aachen architectural office
of Krause Bohne, who has designed hotels for 25
years. Standing behind the project are in addition
to Tom Krause, the project development company
from Ulrich Halder, the Polish project developer
Ryszard Wolczyk, and the owner of the Joachimstein
Castle. The Resort Berzdorfer See will be
subdivided into four locations: the Hargenwerd
Peninsula will become an island with pier, market
place, promenade, and apartments, and two golf
courses will come into being on the “Blauen
Lagune”. The Joachimstein Castle on the Polish
border will be turned into a luxury hotel. And on the
so-called “Südstrand”, recreational facilities and a
cross-border thermal complex are to be erected.
Tom Krause: “We are not working on the border, but
over the border.The many small bridges over the
border river will make our project the first resort that
oversteps an international boundary in Europe.” For
the realization there will not be any public grants
used by the way. The money is to come from the
international US-fonds of a private-equity-group
that in return requires political support and infrastructural
measures. The Berzdorf Lake has an area
of 960 hectares and came into being by the flooding
of an opencast mining hole.

BAVARIA PARK
When a good 15 years ago the
boss at the time of Disney, Michael
Eisner, sat together with his
people because a second park in
Disneyland Anaheim was a
decided fact and had to be drawn
through even if only for economical
reason, and a theme for the
park had to be found. Eisner
decided that it should be “California”.
Text:
H. Jürgen Kagelmann
Photos: Bavaria Park
Doubts that one didn’t need to show the advantages
and objects of interest were swept from
the table by Eisner and it all came as it had to come:
Disney's California Adventure was realized – however
with few impressive attractions, due to the reserved
investment willingness. Not taken to by the
public as hoped initially, Disney is still working on
pepping up the park so that it somehow pays. Disney
has enough funds to continue on with a nonfunctioning
park, but it’s doubtful that this is the
case in the following situation.
An “initiative team” plans to open the Bavaria Park
(or Bavaria World) in Bavaria, 25 autobahn kilometres
from Munich. The teams includes architect and
earlier manager of the Building Directorate of the
city of Munich Horst Haffner, architect and initiator
Thomas Neff, the lawyer and earlier manager of the
Augustiner Brewery Dr. Gerhard Ohneis, the PR-
Agency owner Thomas Reinecke, and two unknown
traders. The location is 18 hectares of uncultivated
land, the transport connection is solvable,
and the approval of the communal politicians
seems to be on hand. The population is as always
of a divided opinion, and the financing of the 320
million Euro project is vague at this early stage.
There should be a concept that would pass a feasibility
check, and be interesting enough that investors
step in. The basic conditions are not bad
as the metropolis of Munich has enough well earning
inhabitants that would come into question as
potential visitors (6 million). The city has up until
now no theme park nearby (Skyline Park is 80 kilometres
and Legoland and Bayern-Park are 130
kilometres away by car). However people these
days are very spoilt as far as what’s on offer at a
theme park. If one wants to have many visitors and
in particular multiple return guests, then something
really unusual has to be offered. Is that the case
here?
The new Bavaria Park will not be a typical admittance
park initially, but only a roofed over, sound
insulated area (90,000 m 2 ) with various offers that
have to be paid for separately. This reminds one a
little of the Prater-concept, but there could be a lot
to discuss about its attractiveness. The Neufahrn
park will be – according to the official press release
– a “theme and culture world around the theme
Bavaria”, a “journey through historic Bavaria from
original customs to future high-tech. The culture
area will offer music and theatre stages as well as
the famous tavern gastronomy. The recreational
area will offer nostalgia, games, and a kiddie area,
as well as three interesting theme houses. There
will also be two theme hotels and small retail shops
selling only products with a certificate proclaiming
‘Original from Bavaria’. “
This causes critical questions: Why should the locals
or tourists drive there when Munich has the
original flair, and there are enough gastronomy, entertainment
and local products there?
And the experience factor? A coaster will definitely
not be installed, assure the initiators. Maybe the
cost factor plays a role in the decision, as well as
the non aesthetic or other loud reasons. The coaster
decision was probably a hasty decision, because
what is going to draw the aimed-at two million
(!) visitors, 50% of them tourists, to the trading
estate Mintraching? What are the basic attractions
to be? The envisioned attractions make one fear
the worst as far as boredom is concerned: In the
“…’Bavaria Lernwelt’, children experience and
learn actively and in practice the real world in the
areas of society, education, money, energy, mobility
and media…”
In the event that a small science museum is in
planning one must be reminded of the fact that of
the dozens of them in Germany, there’s probably
only one that is profitable. And as far as the
planned theme area “Bavaria Aktiv”, the initiators
should inform themselves very quickly about the
embarrassing fate of Munich’s “Olympic Spirit”.
In truth however there is at least one ride planned,

The sketches and models
cannot be surpassed in coldness
and missing empathy
which is based on an idea from Bavaria’s favourite,
King Ludwig 11: his “balloon cable car with peacock
gondolas”, which was as it were a “Soaring
King”. The joke of the idea of the favoured Bavarian
King was a romantic flight from the
Neuschwanstein Castle over the Alp Lake, and
there’s not a castle or a lake available in Neufahrn.
And whether or not 5,000 people come to see a
colourfully decorated cable car every day from the
year 2014 is an interesting question. And just as a
sideline, the capacity of this balloon ride would be
far too low for it to be taken seriously.
Summary: Munich has needed a theme park for a
long time, but a proper one! That what has been
revealed about the “Bavaria Park” is contents-wise
very lean, thematically unattractive, and additionally
unbalanced, and economically and from a
touristic angle, very questionable… or to say it with
the words of a local politician, a probably oversized
retail centre with Oktoberfest ambience.
This Bavaria Park is definitely not a theme or
amusement park. Whether or not it will ever be realized
is very questionable and not only because
of the presented concept. Shortly after the announcement,
agitation on the part of the locals began
once again – a not unusual situation in Germany.
The theme park plan was used as a reason
for a proper culture battle; some of the sceptics
with their quick rejection of a park concept stepped
way over the borders of offence. For example a
catholic parish sued because the Christian culture
and values have been sacrificed for the sake of
commercialism, because the future park will also
be open on Sundays and public holidays. It all
promises to be very interesting.

MAGIC WORLD RUSSIA
Text:
Frank Lanfer
The Californian resident and businessman of
Russian descent Gennady Moshkovich intends
to erect the first modern theme park in the country
50 kilometres from the gates of Moscow, and
has engaged the well known Goddard Group for
the design and development.
Moshkovich’s US-firm Moschanko Investment
Group (MIG 2000) wants to erect a multi-park
resort together with an entertainment district and
hotels on a total area of 250 hectares, with an
investment volume of an unbelievable 2.5 billion
US-Dollar.
In addition to tow separate water parks and a
15,000 person concert hall, the planned theme
park will comprise of the following experience
worlds:
In “Hollywood Studios” visitors will be able to
experience the world of film and become
emotionally connected. The “Magic Family Park”
will contain coasters and other ride constructions
especially for children and families. The “Nanopolis
Children’s Park” will be based on the failed
USA Wannado-park project where children can
slip into adult professions. The “Park Russia” is to
bring Russian culture and achievements from
science and astronautics closer to the visitor. The
“Thrill Ride Park” will contain various coasters and
other large attractions. The “Extreme Sports Park”
will offer free access to a skating park and climbing
garden. The “Winter Garden Magic Fountain
Park” will offer light shows and parades every
evening. The “St. Petersburg City Street” will be
the all-evening entertainment quarter, similar to
Universal’s “City Walk”.
And a special mention must be made of the
“World without Boundaries” leisure park where all
attractions will be designed by physicians and
therapists that are ideal for children with intellectual
and physical disabilities – this would be an
absolute novelty for the theme park branch, and
if for no other reason, one wishes all the best for
this plan.
Unclear at this stage is whether these individual
theme areas will be so large that special admittance
fees will be demanded, or if it will be a
classic all inclusive theme park. It’s quite common
when a project with illusions of grandeur cannot
be surpassed that one never hears of it again.
Construction start for Magic World Russia will
apparently begin in the summer of 2012. We are
all waiting with bated breath!

SeaWorld San Diego
California’s SeaWorld-Park is
also being strongly extended
after many years of restraint,
and will also receive additional
ride attractions in the foreseeable
future, among them a new
“Manta” theme coaster from
Mack Rides for the 2012 season.
This year however saw
the opening of a new major
ride from Huss Park
Attractions.
“Riptide Rescue” has been
available to visitors since June
2011, and not only entices because
of its snappy movements,
but also because of the successful
design of the twelve
gondolas as rescue boats. A total
of 24 passengers are accommodated
each round, and experience
an emotional and appealing
ride due to the overlapping
movements.
This attraction from type “Airboat”
(the manufacturer’s designation)
is part of the newly erected
theme area “Turtle Reef” that
also opened this year, where
more than 60 turtles and thousands
of tropical fish can be seen.

THE BLACKSTONE GROUP
MAGAZINE
Text:
Frank Lanfer
Blackstone is out! A few months ago we already
reported that The Blackstone Group intended to
sell its part of the theme park.
Universal Orlando Resort. And now it’s official: NBC
Universal LLC purchased the still missing 50% for
1,025 billion Dollars, and with that is the sole owner
of Universal Orlando Resort (Universal Studios
Florida, Islands of Adventure und City Walk) – whilst
NBC Universal LLC itself was taken over by Comcast
Corporation a number of months ago (see KPR
4/2011). At the end of 2000, Blackstone had purchased
half of the company from the co-proprietor
at the time, Rank Group Plc, for 275 million Dollars
– with changing partners on the part of Universal.
Outsiders may well have wondered that a privateequity-group
held onto something for so long, in this
case a recreational resort. The answer though may
well be that after the terror attacks of the 11 th of September
there were no reasonable prices to attain for
a long time, and one just held on.
It was first last year after the opening of the theme
area “The Wizzarding World of Harry Potter”, and
the newly attained new visitor record (plus over
40% in comparison to previous years) that the sale
value of the park increased so much. Despite a
long-term capital lock-up, the result is acceptable:
a profit of over 370% could be attained within
eleven years, when at the same time a private-equity-group
usually expects to reach such a figure
within two to three years. Tom Williams, President of
Universal Parks & Resorts is however very happy
and promised the 16,000 affected employees stability
and growth for the world’s largest and most
profitable Universal-Resort in one sentence: “This
is a very special and positive moment for us.” The
purchase will be financed by various loans, among
others from other subsidiary companies of the
parent company Comcast. Universal Orlando is
encumbered with approximately 1.5 billion $. This
amount is also expected to be reduced over the
next years.
No Market Power in Orlando
But the dream of being serious competition to the
local mouse empire is over. Had Universal Orlando
and Wet n’ Wild, together with Legoland opening in
a few weeks (owned by Blackstone’s subsidiary
Merlin Entertainments Group), SeaWorld Orlando,
Busch Gardens Tampa, Discovery Cove und
Aquatica (all owned by Blackstone), become a new
economical and marketing power in central Florida,
the Disney company would have had to have concerns.
As it is however, everything remains just the
same as before with the sale: There is Disney, and
there are many small and larger parks.
Merlin Entertainments Group
In the meantime Blackstone has already reduced
its European “engagement” with the Merlin Entertainments
Group from 54 to 34 %. And it appears
unfortunately to be only a question of time that the
Busch-Gardens and SeaWorld-Parks that were purchased
in October 2009 for 2.7 billion Dollars, will
be “passed on” with a comfortable profit. ■

POTTS PARK

Lagotronics, Lionel Heiwy
The design sketches for the
interactive cable control tower
There are almost 80 Heegecable
control towers worldwide,
so it’s no wonder that
they continue to be produced
unchanged since 1995, and
carry on being erected with
new types of themes. And now
– there is a further development
of this bestseller: the
interactive Upgrade-Kit from
Smartrides/Lagotronics.
The very first cable control tower manufactured
by Heege, and simultaneously the first tower in
coloured pencil design is located at the German
Potts Park near Minden. And this tower has
become the world’s first interactive cable control
attraction this season.
The idea came from Ralf Caspar, long-term Sales
Manager with Heege, who contacted the Dutch
manufacturer Lagotronics last year. The so-called
“Lagotrics” system has already been proven on
various ride constructions already, among them
“Atlantis” at Europa-Park. Lagotronics was not
reluctant to install its system on the tower, and so
the utilization possibilities shown here came into
being. The many attractions designed as a light
102

house will also be able to be presented with a
fitting themed concept soon.
Potts Park had shown great interest even before
the idea was completely thought out, and made
an order right after the test run presentation. The
idea to place four trees around the tower came
from Henrik Pott personally. Each tree carries 16
targets, each with a different value and recognisable
in colourful LEDs. They are so placed that
they can only be hit at a certain position,
ascending and descending during the rotation.
Essential is a well functioning team – one riding
guest operates the laser pistol; the other has to
attain the correct height – if one
wants to leave the attraction a
winner. A display in front of the tower
shows the winner of the actual
ride, the previous ride, and even
the day’s and season’s best.
The interactive extensive can be
installed on existing towers without
problems, as this is a completely
independent system with the complete
control located in an external
control cabinet, and there is only
little mechanical interfacing. ■

TAUNUS WUNDERLAND
Text:
Frank Lanfer
Photos: Taunus Wunderland
Taunus Wunderland celebrates its 45 th anniversary
this year, and naturally visitors have to receive
new attractions in the jubilee season.
The new type of tube slide “AirRace” came into
being together with Willy Walser from abc rides,
and fits to every type of ground area, and can be
operated by the passenger. In this case the 80 m
long slide meanders through an existing forest
area. The speedy ride in the tubes begins with an
imposing starting ramp, being used for the first
time on this type of attraction. The two-seat tubes
reach speeds of up to 30 km/h in the 4.5 m slide
basin on a thin water film. Otto Barth is proud of
this novelty and is sure that with the small investment
he has a great attraction: “Mothers and
fathers have just as much fun with their children as
young adults do”. On average, the sliding period
is just around 10 seconds.
The attraction is very affordable in both manufacture
and operation, as the sliding course can be
integrated into the terrain and therefore does not
need a support construction. Only construction
components such as the control, slide mats, and
tubes were delivered by abc rides.
Another novelty at Taunus Wunderland is the used
“Dino” monorail from the closed Panorama Park.
This construction also had to be integrated into the
area, for which abc did the planning and statics.
Paul Maxheimer from Wiesbaden opened Taunus
Wunderland in 1966 as a fairytale, zoo and adventure
park. At the end of 1998, the showman
family Barth took over the 40,000 m 2 sized area in
the middle of the countryside, and continued to
extend the park constantly. “It’s our business to
deal with rides and shining children’s eyes” said
Otto Barth, who had taken over the park together
with his father Rudolf. And how does the showman
see his engagement as park operator when he
looks back? “Naturally we had a lot of hurdles to
overcome in the beginning, when we changed
Taunus Wunderland from a zoo and fairytale park”,
said Otto Barth, “but we have realized a dream
here, and would do it all again.”

NEW BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Theo Michael Zwermann, Park Manager of
Erlebnispark Steinau had a really nice idea with
the publication of three mini kiddie books.
The books came about due to the occasion of the
erection of the new kiddie playground “Räuberwald”
this year, with the park mascot Erli having a
different adventure in each book.
The stories were written by Sascha Ehlert, and
illustrated by Jose Antonio Martin Vilchez. One of
the mini-books is dedicated to his father.
Senior Manager Theo Zwermann who was also an
active author, and who had brought out a remarkable
booklet a few years ago about the history of
his other park in
Lochmühle, Germany,
published by himself.
This book and the three
new mini-books, each
with 18 pages and in
children’s format (12 x
12 cm) are available at
the parks. The new children
booklets have
been put on the market
by Titus Verlag, Wiesbaden,
and are available
in book shops for
1.50 Euro each. ■
NEW BOOK
Asurprisingly good book has just appeared on
the market, with a competent overview of
Germany’s roller coasters. Author of the book is
coaster expert Ralph Latotzki, who is very well
know, particularly for his longstanding activities
with “Freundeskreis Freizeitparks FKF”. 152
pages introduce nearly every roller coaster in
Germany, and are not frugal with technical
information and large coloured photos either.
Because of the clearly presented geographical
outline, each coaster tour can be better planned
beforehand, but the book is not ideal take along,
as the 25 x 32 hardcover belongs in the larger
book sector. Additionally the author also gives information
about the German manufacturers and
various coaster types, and one illustrated chapter
is dedicated to transportable constructions. The
publication “Deutschlands Achterbahnen – Germany’s
Rollercoasters” has been presented in
both English and German text by the Parkteam AG
and the Vista Point Verlag from Cologne.
The book can be ordered in book shops or directly
on www.parkscout.de at a price of 34.90 Euro –
postage and handling is free within Germany, in
the EU countries plus 6 Euro. (ISBN 978-3-86871-
916-1). ■

Ausschreibung einer
Sonder-Themenfläche
Anträge auf Betreibung einer Sonderfläche zu den drei DOM-Veranstaltungen
des Jahres 2012 sind in Form eines Konzeptes mit
Flächenplanung/Illustration bis spätestens 15. Januar 2012 an die
Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg
Behörde für Wirtschaft, Verkehr und Innovation –
Stabsbereich Norddeutsche Zusammenarbeit, Marketing
und Tourismus – Volksfeste und Sonderveranstaltungen
Alter Steinweg 1-3 • 20459 Hamburg zu richten.
Gegenstand der Veröffentlichung ist die Nutzung einer (Teil-) Fläche in der Größe von ca. 2.500 qm auf dem Heiligengeistfeld in
20359 Hamburg. Die Gestaltung dieser Fläche soll thematisch der jeweiligen Jahreszeit (Frühjahr, Sommer und Herbst/ Winter)
angepasst werden und die gleichzeitig stattfindenden Veranstaltungen des Hamburger DOM attraktiv ergänzen. Dabei soll die
Bespielung der Fläche vor allem für eine mediale Beachtung der Domveranstaltungen sorgen und zusätzliche Besucherschichten
zu einem Besuch des Hamburger DOM animieren. Das Konzept der Sonderfläche muss sich dabei deutlich vom Volksfestcharakter
der zum gleichen Zeitpunkt stattfindenden Domveranstaltungen abgrenzen sowie ein bestimmtes Thema präsentieren.
Thematisch passende Gastronomie-Stände dürfen nur sehr eingeschränkt und nach Absprache mit der ausschreibenden Behörde
in die Fläche integriert werden.
Veranstaltungszeiträume: Frühjahrsdom: 23.03.2012 bis 22.04.2012
Sommerdom: 20.07.2012 bis 19.08.2012 • Winterdom: 09.11.2012 bis 09.12.2012
Die Auf- und Abbauzeiten orientieren sich in der Regel nach den Auf- und Abbauzeiten der zugleich stattfindenden Domveranstaltung
und werden im Vorwege mit dem Nutzungsgeber der Fläche abgestimmt.
1. Für jeden Veranstaltungszeitraum ist ein gesondertes Konzept einzureichen.
2. Maßgebend für den Zeitpunkt des Eingangs der Bewerbung ist das Datum des Poststempels.
3. Bewerber/innen, die ihr Konzept verspätet oder unvollständig einreichen, scheiden bei der Entscheidung über die Zulassungen
grundsätzlich aus.
5. Die Entscheidungen über die Zulassung bzw. Nichtzulassung erfolgen für jede Veranstaltung in einem voneinander getrennten
Verfahren. Zur Wahrung des Gleichheitsgrundsatzes werden bis zum Abschluss des Zulassungsverfahrens keine Auskünfte über
Zulassungen, Ablehnungen oder Platzierungen erteilt.
6. Frühere Zulassungen geben keine Gewähr dafür, dass Ausführung und -gestaltung weiterhin den Vorstellungen des Veranstalters
zur Durchsetzung der Festkonzeption entsprechen.
7. Ergänzungen bzgl. des eingereichten Konzeptes sind bis spätestens zwei Monate vor Veranstaltungsbeginn einzureichen, um im
Vergabeverfahren Berücksichtigung finden zu können.
8. Eine Haftung dafür, dass der Hamburger DOM tatsächlich und zum/zur angegebenen Zeitpunkt bzw. Zeitdauer stattfindet, wird
nicht übernommen.
9. Wird nach Ablauf der Bewerbungsfrist ein Mangel an geeigneten Bewerbungen zur Durchsetzung des Gestaltungswillens des
Veranstalters festgestellt, kann der Veranstalter geeignete Betreiber (auch für kürzere Veranstaltungszeiträume) anwerben und
nachträglich ein Konzept abfordern.
