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

ROUE PARISIENNE<br />
KALEIDOSCOPE<br />

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

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

EIS-BOOS<br />
Made by Dietz: ice<br />
cream booths from Boos<br />
Claudia and Wolfgang<br />

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

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

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

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

Munich Oktoberfest<br />
Text:<br />

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

the other would add up to a Wiesn height of 322 metres!<br />
The Oktoberfest 2011 will be held from September 17 th<br />
to October 3 rd and will spread across a total area of 34<br />
hectares. From the 1,459 applications for the coveted<br />
sites, 617 showman operations were approved. The<br />
break down is as follows: 172 showman attractions,<br />
293 sales stalls, 141 gastronomic operations (including<br />
17 large tents and 21 medium-sized operations)<br />
plus service facilities. All in all, some 12,000 people will<br />
be working at the Wiesn. The price for a litre of beer<br />
has increased by 3.6 percent, meanwhile ranging from<br />
8.70 to 9.20 Euro. In theory, those who want to drink<br />
their beer sitting down have a choice of some 115,000<br />
seats.<br />
Showman Wiesn<br />
New 2011: HP Maier’s<br />
“Monster” swing in Munich<br />
for the first time<br />
the return to the cosy Volksfest charm of former times.<br />
This is perfectly reflected in the plain and somewhat<br />
simple Wiesn poster with embroidered images of classic<br />
motifs, such as lederhosen and dirndl, a Ferris<br />
Wheel and chain ride, a beer mug and Brezn, gingerbread<br />
hearts, and “Bleamin” (little flowers), “auf Bayerisch”),<br />
which is also for sale as a hand-made seat<br />
cushion. Apart from this, the advertising brims with exuberant<br />
superlatives, such as “larger than usual” (an<br />
additional 3 hectare area of ground for the “Oide<br />
Wiesn”), “lasting longer than normal” (17 days due to<br />
the public holiday on October 3 rd ), “more secure than<br />
ever” (triple cordoned-off circles around the area, the<br />
outer one 6 kilometres long; 180 traffic bollards within<br />
the inner circle, 80 of them retractable and flashing,<br />
utilising the latest technology). Moreover, all the high<br />
tower constructions and rides stacked one on top of<br />
The showman sector will offer two novelty attractions<br />
this year. With “Rio Rapidos”, Wiesn visitors will be able<br />
to enjoy a rafting experience. Even though the “Wild’n<br />
Wet” rafting construction from Löwenthal already<br />
made a guest appearance in 2006, the “Rio Rapidos”<br />
is now to be a completely new attraction at the Wiesn:<br />
“With spraying rapids, torrents and a veritable waterfall,<br />
a ride on the Rio Rapidos offers watery fun and a<br />
family-friendly adventure. At the brand new rafting ride<br />
from the French manufacturer Cedeal Rides, boats<br />
rotate 360 degrees through the rapids, with the current<br />
determining the running direction. “Portholes in the<br />
fairway offer an unobstructed view of the passengers,<br />
enabling the audience to participate in the speedy<br />
fun.” [Press Release]<br />
Only after the scheduled world première in Rudolstadt,<br />
which will however take place after this issue goes to<br />
press, will it be known what the attraction really has to<br />
offer and what it looks like. The owner of the “Rio Rapidos”<br />
is Sascha Kaiser, for whom it will be the first appearance<br />
on the Theresienwiese with his own ride.<br />
Other family members appearing will be father<br />
Siegfried (Skater), Jasmin (High Energy), and Tanja<br />
(Wellenflug) – four large attractions from the one family.<br />
The novelty ride will be built up at the east side of<br />
the Schaustellerstraße, in the section between Straße<br />
2 and 3.<br />
It was only a matter of time before an XXL swing would<br />
make an appearance at the Wiesn. Several Munich<br />
showmen considered investing in a construction like<br />
this during the last few years. From the two XXL<br />
applications for 2011, HP Maier's “Monster” was chosen.<br />
The giant swing will be built up at the top-end site<br />
of Straße 2, where the attraction with a height of 40 metres<br />
and an outward swing of 47 metres visible from<br />
any distance, will attract many visitors. Despite its<br />
“monster” theme and spectacular ride pattern, the<br />
swing has a slightly Bavarian charisma due to its white<br />

Sascha Kaiser and HP Maier are Wiesn debutantes;<br />
their rides were included in the Munich ride contingent<br />
as additional attractions. Nonetheless, almost all the<br />
large showman attractions from last year will appear<br />
again this year. The only attractions missing will be<br />
Hohmann’s “Magic” (which was presented at the<br />
Wiesn for the first time precisely 20 years ago, but did<br />
not apply this year), and the water ride from Löwenthal,<br />
which will be replaced by the construction from<br />
Meyer-Steiger according to a rotation scheme. While<br />
on the one hand, it has been possible to create additional<br />
space by relocating several attractions to the<br />
“Oide Wiesn” area, a former site for large attractions<br />
has been removed, due to its entrance being at the<br />
top-end of Straße 5.<br />
A look at the fairground map shows that the Wiesn organisers<br />
have succeeded in perfectly incorporating<br />
the novelties and changes into the layout concept.<br />

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

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

the “Fahrt ins Paradies” will<br />
also be presented this year<br />

Velodrom” - now under the ownership of the Löwenthal<br />
family - will also appear again, the kiddie track ride<br />
from Anett Katzschmann will be presented for the first<br />
time. It was built in the 1950s and was the “most beautiful<br />
track ride in the former GDR”. Even though it was<br />
carefully modernized over the years, the music is still<br />
played to this day by a barrel organ built as “54-Wilhelmbruder”<br />
in 1898, and rebuilt into a 33-Ruth organ<br />
with double roll in 1938. GDR Nostalgia at the “Oide<br />
Wiesn”: Why Not?<br />
As was the case last year, there will be two festival tents<br />
in the “Oide” section. While the “Tradition” provided<br />
visitors with food and drink already in 2010, the “Zur<br />
Schönheitskönigin” will celebrate its première, replacing<br />
the “Herzkasperl-Zelt”. Moreover, the new musicians<br />
and folk singers tent will offer “lively traditional folk<br />
music for old and young alike, for listening enjoyment<br />
and singing along”. Among other highlights, there will<br />
also be a Bally-Prell song contest, in which the Wiesn<br />
director Weishäupl has already promised to participate.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

PREMIÉRE<br />
Treacherous: the course in the<br />
lower section over shaking footbridges<br />
and bridges, and crossing<br />
on a raft<br />
fun. The visual appearance is<br />
light, friendly and inviting, with<br />
almost every section being<br />
clearly visible to the visitors.<br />
The construction can be divided<br />
into two sections: In the<br />
front, the completely open<br />
course is dominated by the<br />
20,000 litre water basin. Having<br />
bought the tickets, the fun<br />
begins with the visitors being<br />
welcomed and handed a colourful floral Hawaii garland<br />
(which they are allowed to take home) at the<br />
Caribbean bar by friendly staff in appropriate outfit.<br />
Next, visitors have to overcome many obstacles in the<br />

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

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

During the rescheduled première appearance<br />
in Düsseldorf, the Kirmes & <strong>Park</strong> Revue<br />
interviewed the “Konga” owner, Sebastian<br />
Küchenmeister:<br />
The theme I chose will be further extended; additional<br />
decoration elements and effects are to follow,<br />
with the elements fire and water playing an important<br />
role.<br />
PREMIÉRE<br />
First of all, we would like to congratulate you<br />
on this impressive attraction. What brought<br />
about the decision to purchase this ride?<br />
Although our family has been extremely successful<br />
with games and snack booths up until now,<br />
we also notice lower turnover – especially in the games<br />
sector. I have considered purchasing a ride attraction<br />
now for some time.<br />
When did you finally get serious about it?<br />
It’s a well-known fact that you should dare to invest<br />
and make the right step into a successful future<br />
in economically depressed times. I was searching<br />
for a ride attraction that stood out from other rides,<br />
which offered a timeless ride experience. An overthe-top-ride<br />
was out of the question however, as the<br />
ride was to appeal to as many age groups as possible,<br />
and entice them to take a ride. As swinging is<br />
associated with carefree fun, I probed the market<br />
and hit lucky with the large swing from KMG.<br />
Was KMG your first contact partner?<br />
Yes! Actually I already knew what I wanted when<br />
I contacted them, namely a large swing from KMG.<br />
How did the talks and negotiations with KMG<br />
go?<br />
Who did the painting?<br />
The in-house DB Decorateur artist from KMG<br />
realized the design according to my requirements.<br />
The painting was done with paintbrush, in complete<br />
contrast to former comic paintings.<br />
How was the ride received in Düsseldorf?<br />
It was very well received by the colleagues,<br />
many organisers, our passengers and fairground enthusiasts.<br />
They were highly impressed not only by<br />
the predominating green colour, but also by the large<br />
name sign on the central axis.<br />
So you did everything right?<br />
I think so. I have not yet come to a standstill<br />
though. I carry a lot of responsibility, and it will still<br />
take some time until everything runs smoothly. I<br />
would like to take the opportunity to thank first of all<br />
the St. Sebastianer fairground committee for making<br />
this successful première possible at the largest fair<br />
on the Rhine, as well as the organizers in Hamburg,<br />
Schwelm, Neheim-Hüsten, Hamm, Stuttgart, and<br />
Rheine – my other venues this year. I would also like<br />
to thank my family, without the unquestioning support<br />
of whom I could not have managed a project like<br />
this.<br />
■<br />
“Konga” owner Sebastian<br />
Küchenmeister (l.) with<br />
grandmother Hertha Langner,<br />
as well as his parents Kornelia<br />
and Dieter Küchenmeister<br />
Negotiations were excellent, it could not have been<br />
better. They took their time to explain the ride to me<br />
in minute detail. The technology is impressive. All the<br />
vehicles are incorporated into the ride. additionally,<br />
building up and dismantling this huge swing does<br />
not require a crane. This is perfect and cuts operating<br />
costs considerably.<br />
When did you sign the purchase contract?<br />
In October 2010, when everything was settled<br />
and delivery was scheduled for the first week of July.<br />
Who came up with the name “Konga”, and<br />
the matching theme?<br />
Both came from me as, I wanted a fully themed<br />
ride. The name “Konga”, derived from King Kong,<br />
stands for height and strength.<br />
The design is imposing. Will anything be added<br />
to it?<br />

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

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

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

manufacturer: a construction called “Breakdance”...<br />

SPECIAL<br />
Build up impressions during<br />
the Distel era<br />
From the Bremen premises, the ride travelled<br />
directly to its première venue, the Maimarkt in<br />
Landau/Palatinate, where the ride could be enjoyed<br />
in all its glory, indeed, the Distel firm had<br />
always presented its attractions in individual,<br />
unique designs. In this case, it set out already with<br />
the current name: “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” was the idea of Wolf<br />
Clauß, and the Distel firm even succeeded in having<br />
the name “protected” at the Huss firm for five<br />
years. Due to its equipment and design – a kind<br />
of “refined antique look” – the ride soon enjoyed<br />
the reputation and the rank of a “noble ride”.<br />
But let us return to the première in Landau – a<br />
venue of excellent reputation at that time: Eugen<br />
Distel recalls that in the course of the event, his<br />
father, his brother-in-law, and he himself were increasingly<br />
disappointed. What had happened?<br />
Answer: The brand new ride had almost no passengers!<br />
Initially, it was not clear whether or not that<br />
was due to respect or simply because the public<br />
was afraid of the 30 metre height. The owners had<br />
watched this fiasco for a number of days before<br />
one of them said: “What in the world have we<br />
done?!” Should the ride really turn out to be a failure<br />
against all expectations? Apprehensively,<br />
they travelled on to the second venue, the<br />
Bergkirchweih in Erlangen, where a heavy burden<br />
fell from the owner’s shoulders from the very opening,<br />
as the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” was veritably besieged by the<br />
public. This indeed turned out to be the omen of<br />
its ultimate success. Eugen Distel notes; “We had<br />
to organise security due to the rush!” As business<br />
48
SPECIAL<br />
Dismantling scene:<br />
The top mast section is lowered<br />
was also good at the next venues during the<br />
première season which included, among others,<br />
Schweinfurt, Würzburg, Düren, Bad Kreuznach,<br />
and Worms, all doubts were truly dispelled.<br />
Then came the first Wiesn appearance on the<br />
exposed site at the corner of Mathias Pschorr-<br />
Straße and the Schaustellerstraße. An observer<br />
from that time still recalls the eve of the opening<br />
with the lighting test and even a number of free<br />
rides, as well as the breath-taking impression<br />
provided by the ride’s height, its movements, and<br />
lighting array. As a result of the enormous mass<br />
of visitors besieging the attraction also in Munich,<br />
the trailing cable had to be replaced. The station<br />
and waiting area had to be temporarily extended<br />
and a so-called “emergency paybox” was added,<br />
despite the fact that the fare at a Wiesn ride had<br />
reached the “pain threshold” of 5 Marks. Talking<br />
of the “D-Mark”, when the Huss firm launched the<br />
“Condor”, the price was a proud 1.75 million<br />
Marks. Eugen Distel enjoyed the success of the<br />
“<strong>Ikarus</strong>” at the largest Volksfest in the world, even<br />
though he could only watch it from the window of<br />
his caravan, as his disease (which, mercifully, he<br />
ultimately overcame) prevented him from playing<br />
an active role back then. At this stage, his brotherin-law<br />
Wolf Clauß managed the ride. Further<br />
venues following the first Wiesn appearance were<br />
Soest and Wiesbaden. After his recovery, Eugen<br />
Distel gradually perfected the appearance of the<br />
ride, by measures such as adding 'surround<br />
sound' and self-produced jingles. It was the<br />
beginning of the some 5-year heyday of the<br />
“<strong>Ikarus</strong>”.<br />
In 1994, it was decided to redesign<br />
the gondolas. Heinz<br />
Distel had clear ideas for the<br />
redesign and contracted the<br />
An “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” gondola prior<br />
to the redesign in 1994 and a<br />
snapshot from 1996, during the<br />
short “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” period under the<br />
management of Rüdiger in Austria<br />

Has toured almost every<br />
major fairground in Germany:<br />
the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” in Eisleben, Fürth<br />
and Hamburg (f.l.t.r.)<br />
Göhlert firm to realize them. Eugen Distel recalls;<br />
“My father even moved in there for a week back<br />
then up until all four sample gondolas precisely<br />
matched his ideas.” The result was an impressive<br />
graduation of the colour scheme of the gondolas<br />
that shimmered in all the colours of the rainbow.<br />
By the way, it did not take long until Heinz Distel's<br />
ideas were copied, not least by the “Breakdance”<br />
owners, who adopted the “gondola design”<br />
theme that had not been conceived until then. The<br />
mast of the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” was covered with reflecting<br />
foil, also shining in all colours after sundown.<br />
Looking back, Eugen Distel also recalls special<br />
events, incidents, and anecdotes he has<br />
experienced during his 11 seasons with the<br />
“<strong>Ikarus</strong>”. For example, looking up from the operator<br />
stand to the highest point of the rotating ride<br />
one evening during an appearance in Würzburg,<br />
he could hardly believe his eyes when he saw a<br />
passenger swap gondolas during the slow sightseeing<br />
round at a height of almost 30 metres! After<br />
a short moment of shock – when the said passenger<br />
had reached the other gondola – Distel<br />
stopped the rotating element, brought it down and<br />
confronted the man. It was an inebriated American<br />
soldier, who explained in a drunken slur: “I<br />
wanted to go to my wife in the other gondola”. Eugen<br />
Distel will also always remember an appearance<br />
at the Frühjahrsmess in Kassel. Due to a<br />
change of staff, Distel had to climb up himself<br />
while dismantling the ride in the early morning<br />
Snapshots from the<br />
Hofmann/Jehn era.<br />
Due to the rush at the Berlin<br />
Christmas Market a borrowed<br />
“Magic” paybox was used<br />
50
hours, forgot an important<br />
step in the procedure,<br />
and was stuck at<br />
the top. As nobody from<br />
the staff knew what was<br />
required to rescue him,<br />
his brother-in-law Wolf<br />
Clauß – who was luckily<br />
not too far away in<br />
Gießen – was called.<br />
Nonetheless Eugen Distel<br />
had to hold out in cold<br />
temperatures until his<br />
“rescuer” arrived who,<br />
after having had a good<br />
laugh at seeing his helpless<br />
brother-in-law stuck on the<br />
top of the mast, freed him from<br />
his predicament. In 1995, the<br />
decision to purchase a new ride<br />
(“Jumping” from Huss) meant<br />
parting with the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” at the<br />
same time. “In the last few<br />
years, our passengers were almost<br />
only families, so business<br />
grew increasingly weak in the<br />
evenings,” explains Distel, this<br />
being the reason for the<br />
change. The “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” was traded<br />
in for the new ride at Huss<br />
and, surprisingly, showed up<br />
again in Austria at the start of<br />
the 1996 season – presented by<br />
the Rüdiger firm. However, this<br />
new era lasted only about one<br />
Under Blume-Wollenschlaeger,<br />
the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” developed into a<br />
“myth”, realising a comeback<br />
for the ride – and its renovated<br />
exit<br />
Partner Blume left the GbR<br />
– the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” was then operated<br />
under the name of Wollenschlaeger<br />

SPECIAL<br />
The “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” on<br />
its last journey in Germany,<br />
from Berlin to the Hamburg container<br />
port<br />
April 2011: On arrival<br />
at the Hamburg port, the ride<br />
was reloaded and prepared<br />
for transport by ship to South<br />
America<br />
and a half years. Even in the summer of 1997, the<br />
ride returned to Germany under the management<br />
of the Hofmann/Jehn GbR firm from Leipzig/Eisenach.<br />
In the beginning, it was only toured throughout<br />
Eastern Germany (among other venues, in<br />
Dresden, Peitz, Leipzig, Eisleben, and Magdeburg),<br />
where the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” was a novelty at many<br />
a fairground. From the second season however,<br />
the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” also reappeared at its former venues,<br />
being present even at major fairgrounds such as<br />
Bremen, Hamburg, or Fürth. However, as apart<br />
from the occasional exception, its success left<br />
much to be desired, the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” was temporarily<br />
decommissioned in 2003. Even though a Dutch<br />
52
showman enterprise announced the comeback of<br />
the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” for 2004, this was in fact never realised.<br />
The ride was then purchased by a completely<br />
different firm, the specially founded<br />
“Blume-Wollenschlaeger GbR Berlin-Bremen” –<br />
cooperation between Charles Blume and Thilo<br />
Wollenschlaeger. They treated the now ageing<br />
attraction to the finest technical and visual overhaul<br />
that captured the hearts of many “<strong>Ikarus</strong>”<br />
fans. The colour of the transport vehicles was<br />
changed from the still existing “Distel red” to<br />
“Blume blue”. Moreover, a new neon name sign,<br />
a powerful Uhlenbrock sound system, plenty of<br />
additional lighting elements, spotlights, and a<br />
fresh colour scheme turned the attraction into a<br />
veritable jewel – without changing its original<br />
character. Additionally, “Der Mhytos” was added<br />
to the name. The new visual appearance was<br />
strongly emphasized by kitting the staff out in Roman-style<br />
costume, and professional commentators<br />
making announcements over the microphone.<br />
Blume-Wollenschlaeger stepped into the<br />
new “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” era at the German-American Volksfest<br />
2004, and after an appearance at the<br />
Freiburg Herbstmesse, they finished the season<br />
at the Christmas Market in front of the “Palast der<br />
Republik” in Berlin. With their operation style and<br />
the racy ride pattern, they apparently tried to<br />
establish the ride as a “Thrill” construction rather<br />
than a family ride, but with limited success. When<br />
Blume left the GbR after almost two seasons,<br />
Wollenschlaeger<br />
put the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>”<br />
into storage. Thilo<br />
Wollenschlaeger<br />
only built up the<br />
attraction again at<br />
the Neukölln Maientage in Berlin in spring 2009 for<br />
TÜV approval and inspection by prospective buyers,<br />
who were also able to examine the ride at the<br />
German-French and the German-American Volksfest<br />
in the capital the same year. And very successfully<br />
too: there was a serious prospective buyer<br />
from South America who, although he not wanting<br />
to sign the purchase contract in October 2009,<br />
made a down payment to underline his serious interest.<br />
After a long period of silence, things finally<br />
got going in early 2011 and the purchase contract<br />
was signed. This April, the “<strong>Ikarus</strong>” transport vehicles<br />
may well have set out on their last journey<br />
through Germany, from Wollenschlaeger’s premises<br />
near Berlin to the Hamburg container port. The<br />
destination of the sea voyage was Santiago de<br />
Chile, the capital of Chile, and then further on to the<br />
“Fantasilandia” amusement park. It has not yet<br />
been revealed when the attraction will go into<br />
operation there.<br />
We would like to end the life story of one of the most<br />
prominent German rides from the last decades with<br />
an unforgettable quote of Hilde Distel, Eugen Distel’s<br />
mother who, sadly, recently passed away: “The<br />
<strong>Ikarus</strong> was our most beautiful ride.<br />

turnover. Due to its very modest fair price, the Alpina-<br />
Bahn from Bruch enjoyed great popularity in Wolfsburg,<br />
and the major and round<br />
ride attractions also appealed to<br />
the public. The “Booster Maxxx”<br />
was virtually besieged in Wolfsburg, but the “Rocket”,<br />
the “Around the World” chain ride, and the “Atlantis-<br />
Rafting” were also very well attended.<br />
Placing the “Happy Sailor”, the “Venzianische Pferdekarussell”<br />
and the “kiddie-Baroque-chain ride”<br />
next to each other was somewhat unfavourable<br />
though. They would have fared much better if there<br />
had been a little bit more space between them. This<br />
year’s daily changing programme inside the Marris<br />
beer tent, with the Schützenfest Dinner on Ascension<br />
Day, the show programme from “Captain Cook” and<br />
many VIPs from the political scene as highlights, was<br />
very successful.<br />
All in all, the organizers, the police, and the Red Cross<br />
talked about a peaceful and harmonious family Volksfest<br />
without any unpleasant incidents.<br />

SCHÜTZENFEST HANNOVER<br />

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

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

ANNABERGER KÄT<br />
“Frisbee” (Zinnecker) in<br />
Annaberg-Buchholz<br />
Text & Photos: Rolf Orschel<br />
From June 25 th to July 3 rd , the 491 st Annaberg<br />
Kät once again enticed ten thousands of visitors<br />
to the large district town. The most traditional<br />
Volksfest in Saxony offered a skilfully<br />
laid out fairground with a number of prominent<br />
novelty ride and funhouse attractions.<br />
As is tradition, the oldest and largest Volksfest in<br />
the Erzgebirge is always held 14 days after<br />
Pentecost. Due to Pentecost falling late this year,<br />
the event began only on the last weekend in<br />
June, overlapping with other large national<br />
events. Nevertheless, visitors from all age<br />
groups were able to enjoy a total of 100 traditional<br />
and modern ride and Funhouse attractions,<br />
as well as many concession stalls on the more<br />
than five hectare fairground below the Pölberg<br />
this year. The “Euro Coaster”, “River-Rafting”,<br />
Lagerin‘s giant chain ride “Luxor”, the “Columbia”<br />
Ferris Wheel (Burghard-Kleuser), Kutschenbauer’s<br />
“Magic House” and the dodgem track<br />
56
“Golden Cars” from Meyer were chosen as Kät<br />
novelties. (Incidentally, the dodgem track from<br />
Hickmann, which has been among the regular<br />
Kät attractions for decades, had a contract for<br />
the Schützenfest in Hannover, which began on<br />
the second Kät weekend.) Other attractions<br />
presented were the Musik Express (Baier),<br />
“Frisbee” (Zinnecker), “Magic” (Müller-Volklandt),<br />
“Breakdance” (Pilz), “Geistervilla” (Zinnecker),<br />
“Sound Machine” (Welte), “Extrem”<br />
Propeller (Boos), “Crazy Outback” (Hofmann-<br />
Jehn), chain ride (Krause), die “Euro Rutsche”<br />
(Kutschenbauer-Roden), and a simulator. Moreover,<br />
children could enjoy the “Super-8-Truck”<br />
from Katzschmann family, Illgen‘s “Bimmelbahn”,<br />
Katzschmann’s kiddie ride, the “Dschungel<br />
Express” (Walther), Fieseler‘s “Kinder Taxi”,<br />
the Jet Ride from Tschou and the pony ride from<br />
Glaß. The selection of attractions was rounded<br />
off by a varied mixture of concession stalls of all<br />
kinds. Although the ride contingent offered a lot<br />
of fairground fun, visitors missed a large first<br />
class attraction this year.<br />
Moreover, it was noticeable that there were an<br />
unusually large number of Dutch showman<br />
operations. Fairground director Christian Eberhardt<br />
commented on the selection criteria and<br />
placement of the rides as follows: “It was pure<br />
coincidence that so many Dutch showmen were<br />
represented at the Annaberg Kät. Initially, it was<br />
not particularly noticeable to us that many of these<br />
operations belonged to Dutch owners or operators.<br />
In the end, this was not important though as<br />
all agreements and contracts were fully met and<br />
realized. We cannot say for sure whether or not<br />
the Kät was on their tour schedule, although we<br />
know that the “Euro Coaster” and the River-Rafting-Bahn<br />
were originally to appear in Bayreuth.<br />
Due to the terraced fairground, the selection and<br />
placement of the attractions not only depends<br />
on their attractiveness and uniqueness, but<br />
more importantly on their ground measurements<br />
and the logistics issues involved in their build up<br />
and dismantling.”<br />
Despite the efficient<br />
placement of the<br />
novelties and the appealing<br />
layout of the<br />
fairground, a large<br />
coaster or looping<br />
track, a higher Ferris<br />
Wheel, and a giant<br />
swing were sadly<br />
missed by many a<br />
visitor. In addition to<br />
the annually repeated<br />
highlights, showmen<br />
and visitors were<br />
offered a special<br />
highlight from Monday<br />
to Wednesday,<br />
namely, scenes for a crime-thriller being shot at<br />
the Kät for the first time. The private television<br />
station, “Constantin Television GmbH München”<br />
produced scenes for the TV series “Die<br />
Draufgänger” with leading actors Dominik Boeer<br />
and Jörg Schüttauf for three days. In these<br />
scenes they fought criminals and recklessly endangered<br />
people, right in this fairground setting.<br />
The scenes were shot mainly in the mornings,<br />
among other sets on rides, inside and outside<br />
the beer tent, and on the adjoining sports field.<br />
To capture the special Kät flair, a number of<br />
shootings were also made during opening<br />
hours.<br />
Even though it is indisputable that the Annaberg<br />
Kät is the largest Volksfest in the Erzgebirge,<br />
advertising for the event urgently requires<br />
intensification and to be more widely dispersed.<br />
Only a few posters in the direct vicinity and in the<br />
town, as well as a banner spanning the B 95 federal<br />
highway called attention to the event. It is<br />
preposterous that there was not a single poster<br />
to be seen in the surrounding region and larger<br />
neighbouring cities, such as Zwickau and<br />
Chemnitz.<br />
Additionally, the fairground<br />
was poorly marked for non locals<br />
arriving by car from the direction<br />
of Aue. It is also hard to<br />
fathom that no politicians from<br />
the state government showed<br />
up at the fairground for the<br />
opening or during the Kät.<br />
Nonetheless, the Annaberg<br />
Kät was well worthwhile seeing,<br />
but a carefully prepared<br />
“pick-me-up” would not harm<br />
the largest Volksfest in the<br />
Erzgebirge.<br />

This year’s traditional Kunigundenfest (July 1 st to 5 th )<br />
in Lauf / Pegnitz suffered from adverse weather conditions.<br />
Particularly poor weather on Sunday even led to the<br />
cancellation and postponement of the festival procession<br />
to Monday. The fairground on the Helschen Wiese<br />
was once again occupied by appealing attractions,<br />
however it was lacking a larger ride for young adults.<br />
Further attractions presented this time were the “Happy<br />
Family” (Rüth), “Fliegender Teppich” (Hartmann),<br />
“Hexentanz” (Markmann), “Caesars Wheel” (Landwermann/Henschel),<br />
“Golden Star” (Holler), as well as a<br />
dodgem track, kiddie rides, a beer tent, and a colourful<br />
mixture of concession stalls from all sectors. ■<br />
WUNSIEDEL<br />

The ride attraction at the<br />
Volks- und Wiesenfest in Wunsiedel<br />
The 10,000-resident district town in<br />
Upper Franconia celebrated its traditional<br />
Volks- and Wiesenfest for five<br />
days in early July (1 st to 5 th ).<br />
Wunsiedel is not only known for its<br />
porcelain industry, but also for the<br />
Luisenburg Festival and the “Sech-<br />
58
sämtertropfen” liqueur. Heiko Perz from Fürth, who<br />
was in charge of the event for the first time, celebrated<br />
a successful première.<br />
A new broom sweeps clean, as they say, and so there<br />
were a number of new initiatives which were well received<br />
and appreciated by the public. A new feature<br />
was the layout, which led the public past every attraction.<br />
It replaced the old layout with the two streets,<br />
one of which had always been “good”, the other<br />
“bad” – resulting in “winners” and “losers”. This time,<br />
there was an equal chance for all attractions. 23 societies<br />
participating in the opening procession from<br />
the market square to the beer tent set a new record.<br />
Also new this year was Bastian Schuhmann with his<br />
large tent. He would like to return and is confident<br />
about the excellent potential to extend his menu,<br />
which always includes fresh spiced knuckles of ham<br />
and spit-roasted chicken in Franconia. All in all, the<br />
list of participants included 24 showmen, among<br />
which the ride trio – the “Sweety Star” from Werner<br />
Hoech & Sohn, “Polyp” from Manfred Schinkel, and<br />
the “Top Spin” from Hartmut Langhoff as a surprise –<br />
were the highlights. For 40 years, the Perz family has<br />
appeared in Wunsiedel, presenting varying ride attractions<br />
– currently the large dodgem track. They are<br />
familiar with the situation and always combine the<br />
wishes of the town authorities with reality, while at the<br />
same time giving deference to regular participants.<br />
In contrast to the last few years, greater importance<br />
was attached to Wiesenfest procession of school<br />
children this year, and for the finale there was a première<br />
in Wunsiedel – a fireworks display accompanied<br />
by music – which enthralled everybody. The meeting<br />
of the showmen on Monday in the presence of the<br />
town authorities was also livened up with discussions<br />
about the further development of the event. The Police<br />
Chief Inspector praised the five-day event and was<br />
highly satisfied with the newly introduced deposit on<br />
beer mugs, which substantially reduced the usual<br />
amount of broken glass and the number of crimes.<br />
Mayor Karl-Willi Beck gave a highly positive review<br />
and wants to continue the success story, and the<br />
participating showmen talked also of a generally upward<br />
trend. There is still potential for improvement<br />
however, for example, the toilet facilities inside the<br />
tent, which did not come up to standard and required<br />
short-term improvising, due to the sanitary container<br />
on the fairground having been deliberately destroyed<br />
by vandals prior to the event. Moreover, the town<br />
authorities might well improve the advertising of the<br />
Volks- and Wiesenfest on the internet, as it deserves<br />
to be as remarkably well presented on the internet as<br />
at the local Brunnenfest.<br />

SCHWÄBISCH HALL<br />

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

attended, and the fireworks display had already<br />
been held at the opening on Friday.<br />

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

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

STATISTICS<br />
Due to a strong police<br />
presence, the<br />
Rheinwiesen fair was<br />
once again an unusually<br />
peaceful<br />
event, with only minor<br />
disputes, 47 people<br />
banished from the<br />
fairground, and 15<br />
thefts. 725 people received<br />
on-site treatment<br />
and 105 people<br />
were taken to hospital.<br />
The Public Order<br />
Office towed away<br />
420 illegally parked<br />
vehicles and issued<br />
2,500 parking fines.<br />
proved only in the evening hours, with the aforementioned<br />
consequences for a number of sectors.<br />
After the opening of the Schützenfest on Saturday<br />
however, visitors rushed to the fairground, and the<br />
event enjoyed a high visitor attendance in the early<br />
afternoon. Unfortunately, heavy rainfall at the best<br />
time of the day prevented excellent results this day.<br />
Nonetheless, it was amazing how long the visitors remained<br />
on the fairground despite the poor weather.<br />
On the first Sunday, Düsseldorf had a dream day<br />
with masses of visitors, as many indeed as on its<br />
best days to date, and guests were not exactly<br />
reluctant to spend their money. The promising Sunday<br />
was quickly followed by disillusionment due to<br />
business on the otherwise 'strong-turnover Pink<br />
Monday' being weak; indeed, to an extent never before<br />
experienced. While business on the weekdays<br />
was also rather slow, the Friday fared somewhat<br />
better, including a fireworks display exceeding all<br />
previous dimensions, and due to the Rheinbahn<br />
transport service transporting 800,000 passengers<br />
on the day. Indeed, the use of public transport was<br />
more popular than ever before: 85 percent of the<br />
visitors arrived at the fairground by bus or tram.<br />
Nonetheless, sales of the favourable combi-ticket<br />
were low – only 1,000 tickets were sold. Due to<br />
criss-crossing of visitor masses, something of a logjam<br />
occurred in front of the Alpinabahn in the<br />
evening hours. After a 20-minute impasse, the new<br />
security concept intervened. The security personnel<br />
were able to channel the visitor masses and<br />
reroute them along the illuminated escape routes.<br />
While super Friday was followed by a very good<br />
Saturday, the closing day was virtually washed<br />
away, bringing about further losses.<br />
Never before had a gap between winners and<br />
losers on a fairground been so wide. Financial results<br />
in a number of sectors were not only affected<br />
by the weather, the placement also played an<br />
important role. Open rides and beer gardens suffered<br />
more seriously from the weather than roofed<br />
rides and beer tents, the latter having been always<br />
well frequented. What about the Füchschen and the<br />
Uerige tent: Were they really missed? No, the<br />
guests simply switched to other tents. The new twolevel<br />
(but somewhat spartan) Diebels tent and the<br />
new Schumacher barn could not really complain<br />
about a lack of visitors. Those drinking Füchschen<br />
beer were served their usual brand of beer in the<br />
“Tiroler Dorf”, where they celebrated happily. Talking<br />
of the “Füchschen”: In the festschrift of the organizer,<br />
the brewery announced that it will “have a<br />
hell of a party at the Rheinwiesen 2012”. How can<br />
they make such a proclamation? The approval<br />
decision is made by the organiser, and not by the<br />
applicant, or not? While the majority of gastronomic<br />
operations and beverage outlets were first-class<br />
and well worth seeing, the appearance of a beverage<br />
attraction on the former “Uerige” site was more<br />
than pathetic. A more appealing showman attraction<br />
would have been preferable in this location.<br />
As Sebastian Küchenmeister's giant swing “Konga”<br />
was approved to the largest fair on the Rhine<br />
at the very last minute, two new attractions celebrated<br />
their début at the Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen. The<br />
Hempen firm also managed to punctually open its<br />
novelty “Big Bamboo”. The anxiously expected “Rio<br />
Rapidos” rafting ride from the Kaiser family, however,<br />
was unfortunately not completed in time for<br />
the event. Due to the cancellations of the rafting ride<br />
62
as well as the announced “Höllentaxi”, there were<br />
a number of changes on the site map, which affected<br />
the layout of the fairground significantly. As a<br />
result, all the towering giants were built up in direct<br />
proximity to each other – except for the “Star Flyer”.<br />
“Konga” and “Booster-Maxxx” were placed back to<br />
back, “High Energy” occupied the bay within sight<br />
of the “Flash”, together with the Ferris Wheel and<br />
the “Power Tower” – quite a sensory overload. However,<br />
it offered many appealing motifs for the photographers.<br />
It must also be said that there are also unfavourable<br />
sites for ride attractions, for example, the one occupied<br />
by the “Flash” this year. In previous years, the<br />
“Airwolf” and the “Phoenix” had already struggled<br />
to cope there. From this location, visitors apparently<br />
only had eyes for the large attraction occupying<br />
the bay on the banks of the Rhine, where the “Fünfer-Looping”<br />
was presented as another top attraction.<br />
Even the nostalgic “Der Selbstfahrer” dodgem<br />
track did not fare too well in the vicinity of the steel<br />
giant. Richard Müller presented the track with new<br />
backflash tarpaulins, fences and name signs.<br />
Moreover, he exhibited an old dodgem car and an<br />
old traction unit.<br />
While layout mistakes like this are not noticeable to<br />
the visitors, they may well mean heavy financial<br />
losses for the showmen. It speaks in favour of the<br />
organizer however, that it was a very different<br />
Rheinwiesen than during previous years. The<br />
tragedy during the Duisburg Love parade has left<br />
its marks in the layout of fair events. Delays due to<br />
the new security concept, the cancellation of a<br />
large novelty, the fire at the Continental Pick Stand,<br />
short-term cancellations, and newly approved attractions<br />
changed the image of the fair almost hourby-hour.<br />
Moreover, more sensible relocations were<br />
not always possible, as many showmen had already<br />
built up their attractions. This was also the<br />
reason for the concentration of the “highlights”.<br />
Next year, everything will look even better in Düsseldorf<br />
and the time schedule will be changed.<br />
There will be no more pressure caused by the new<br />
security concept, as the new additional escape<br />
routes and escape staircases are now determined.<br />
Fortunately, the head of the fairground committee,<br />
Thomas König, is always willing to take a risk. True,<br />
premières of major rides or Funhouse attractions<br />
present a risk. Nonetheless two large attractions<br />
were able to make their début in Düsseldorf this<br />
year.<br />
Due to the arson attack and an accident at a ride,<br />
this year’s fair attracted a lot of local and national<br />
media coverage. During the run-up to the event,<br />
there were many reports about the cancellation of<br />
the two beer tents, which was tantamount to an<br />
earthquake. Then there was the arson attack on the<br />
opening day, and finally a child fell out of a ride and<br />
was slightly injured. The latter incident was largely<br />
blown out of all proportion by the local reporters,<br />
who described exaggerated flight heights which,<br />
were they accurate, the child would surely have<br />
been able to fly! The hyperbole of many reporters<br />
truly knew no bounds! Moreover, there was once<br />
again the well-known biased report about the<br />
prices on the fairground; neither could the press do<br />
without the usual testing of fairground attractions<br />
this year. Is that really necessary over and over<br />
again?<br />
That was the Rheinwiesen 2011 that the showman<br />
industry had pinned its hopes on. Summary: The<br />
expensive security concept was excellent; all the<br />
visitors kept calm in the pushing crowd on Friday<br />
evening and were rerouted by the security personnel<br />
after just a short time. Financial results fell far<br />
short of the Düsseldorf possibilities, for which the<br />
weather was largely to blame. However, there were<br />
also a number of things that require changes. The<br />
additional Friday has to be intensely advertised and<br />
livened up by special actions, such as a happy hour<br />
in the afternoon, and a fireworks display in the<br />
evening hours. On dry days Düsseldorf has<br />
demonstrated its possibilities and just how many<br />
people truly love the fair.<br />

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

The young Gottlieb Löffelhardt<br />
with his father and the “Höllental-Express”<br />
GOTTLIEB LÖFFELHARDT<br />
Gottlieb Löffelhardt was born in Berlin on December<br />
25 th , 1934. As the christian name<br />
“Gottlieb” had been handed down from generation<br />
to generation within the showman dynasty of Löffelhardt<br />
ever since 1851, he already ranked as the<br />
fourth “Gottlieb”, also called “Sohni” by many. His<br />
father Gottlieb Löffelhardt was a Wall of Death rider,<br />
just as were his brothers Peter and Franz. He began<br />
his career himself in the very same capacity as a<br />
rider on the Hugo Haase Wall of Death, which he<br />
took over himself later on, and where he met his future<br />
wife Hertha, whom he married in 1932. The<br />
young Löffelhardt family settled down in Berlin Treptow.<br />
In 1936, his father added<br />
the first ride, “Raketenfahrt zum<br />
Mond”, to the Wall of Death. Due<br />
to its great success, he purchased<br />
yet another attraction,<br />
namely the “Großglocknerbahn”<br />
shortly afterwards. Both<br />
attractions were toured in the<br />
Gottlieb Löffelhardt during one of his last<br />
public appearances: In Rome in October 2010<br />
Berlin region, and in the eastern regions of Germany.<br />
With the Second World War approaching, the Löffelhardts<br />
started a second career so to speak, by<br />
founding a haulage firm. Despite the terrible war, the<br />
haulage company worked at full capacity, whereas<br />
the two rides and the Wall of Death were closed<br />
down. In this way, the Löffelhardts were able to survive<br />
the war. In 1948 they moved their offices to<br />
Hamburg, giving up the haulage firm and concentrating<br />
on the showman business. The Wall of Death<br />
was reactivated and a Ghost Ride called “Höllental<br />
Express” was purchased.<br />
At the age of 18, he made the first major decision in<br />
his career and joined his parents' firm in 1950. His<br />
father offered him two options; either a salary of<br />
2,500 marks as a manager or 70 marks “pocket<br />
money” and a 30 percent share in the property of<br />
the family. Gottlieb Löffelhardt chose the 30 percent<br />
and became a partner in the family enterprise. As<br />
business boomed, further attractions were purchased<br />
in the following years, an additional multistorey<br />
Ghost Ride taken over from Austria, and a<br />
dodgem track from Zierer. One of the two Ghost<br />
Rides was elaborately rebuilt into the “Globetrotter”<br />
by Anton Schwarzkopf in Münsterhausen.<br />
Next, the manufacturer Mack was contracted to<br />
build the racy “Fahrt zum Mars” Ghost Ride. At this<br />
point in time, if not sooner, the future core competency<br />
of the Löffelhardt operations was clearly discernible:<br />
Ghost Rides. In 1955, a daring step was<br />
taken and the “Düsenspirale” ordered from<br />
Schwarzkopf. The project was however, almost a financial<br />
disaster. The time-consuming construction of<br />
the complex and heavy construction was marred by<br />
numerous delays, almost ruining both Löffelhardt<br />
and Schwarzkopf. When it eventually joined the tour,<br />
66
Franz Schwarzkopf had to come along as chief engineer<br />
in order to ensure the build up and dismantling,<br />
as well as the operation of the clumsy “Düsenspirale”.<br />
After these troublesome experiences, business<br />
relations between Schwarzkopf and Löffelhardt<br />
were put on hold for the first time. Over the<br />
years, the existing “Globetrotter” was repeatedly redesigned<br />
and thrilled its passengers as the “Orient<br />
Express”, or as “Spukschloss” to the very end of its<br />
service. Looking back, Löffelhardt summarised it<br />
thus: “Among all the Ghost Rides we owned, the<br />
‘Spukschloss’ was the most successful."<br />
In 1963 Löffelhardt took over the “Geisternacht im<br />
Urwald” from Willenborg. In the meantime, a number<br />
of attractions were operated as partnerships<br />
and with relatives as leaseholders, such as Walter<br />
Löffelhardt or Christel Löffelhardt, who together with<br />
her husband Paul Stratemans, operated a Ghost<br />
Ride on a contract basis in order to purchase it at a<br />
later date.<br />
During the period of Germany's so-called economic<br />
miracle, the booming enterprise benefited from the<br />
sound understanding between father and son Gottlieb.<br />
They continued to invest in attractive and appealing<br />
ride attractions, such as a “Jaguar” Musik-<br />
Express and the “Luftwipper” from the Mack firm<br />
from Waldkirch. When the latest ride attractions from<br />
the Klaus firm from Memmingen were in strong demand<br />
a little later, the “Hula Hoop”, “Tolle Jolle“,<br />
“Mondtaxi”, and an Allround were operated under<br />
the management of the “Löffelhardt Betriebe”. As<br />
competition for profitable events, such as the<br />
Cannstatt Wasen, Munich Oktoberfest or Bremer<br />
Freimarkt became increasingly fierce, Gottlieb Löffelhardt<br />
searched for a 'competitive edge' and discovered<br />
the system of the Scandinavian Tivolis,<br />
whereupon he organized permanent sites for a<br />
number of his operations in Copenhagen, Gothenburg<br />
and Stockholm. According to a closed swap<br />
system, rides such as the “Hula Hopp” were built up<br />
for a whole season, so the attraction paid for itself<br />
over an extended period of time. Löffelhardt operated<br />
within this distinctive system up until 1965.<br />
On December 16 th 1960, Gottlieb Löffelhardt married<br />
Astrid Ercoli, the daughter of an Italian-German<br />
showman. At the same time, the 25 th anniversary of<br />
the “Löffelhardt Betriebe” was celebrated. In 1964<br />
their son Robert Gottlieb Löffelhardt was born, followed<br />
by their daughter Astrid in 1969. Gottlieb Löffelhardt's<br />
chance meeting with the puppeteer<br />
Richard Schmidt at the world-famous Berlin Wintergarten<br />
Varieté had far-reaching consequences. In<br />
many conversations about how<br />
to use the lovingly and elaborately<br />
carved puppets and stage<br />
scenery, particularly after the decline<br />
of the great film era, they ultimately<br />
came up with the crucial<br />
question: “Why not found a fairytale<br />
theme park?” The idea of<br />
Phantasialand was born! While<br />
Richard Schmidt made the first<br />
figures and scenes in a vacant<br />
chair factory, Löffelhardt was in<br />
charge of the commercial promotion.<br />
The decision in favour of<br />
Brühl was not entirely coincidental,<br />
as Schmidt lived in Brühl,<br />
where he knew everybody, from<br />
the Mayor to the director of the<br />
bank. The new park of the two<br />
visionaries was built on the former<br />
brown coal field, “Berggeist”.<br />
On the very day of the<br />
opening, Brühl’s former Mayor<br />
Robert Ehl warned them; “...<br />
don’t go bankrupt too soon!”<br />
His worries were unfounded<br />
though, as 400,000 visitors were<br />
welcomed to Phantasialand<br />
even in the first season. Gottlieb<br />
Löffelhardt recalled: “The visitors<br />
virtually besieged the park even<br />
“Globetrotter” and “Düsenspirale”<br />
Löffelhardt rides:<br />
“Luftwipper”, “Hula Hoop”, and<br />
the “Mondtaxi”<br />
on opening day on April 30 th 67
IN MEMORIAM<br />
“Polyp” and the<br />
suspended Ghost Ride<br />
“Fliegender Teppich”<br />
At Phantasialand:<br />
gondola ride “1001 Nacht”<br />
and the water ride<br />
1967. Our wives gave us all<br />
the required support. At first,<br />
we wanted them to join us in<br />
the tour of the park along with<br />
the guests of honour, but the<br />
rush of visitors was simply too<br />
great, and so they sold ice<br />
cream and popcorn clad in<br />
cocktail dresses”. The visitors<br />
were enchanted by the<br />
scenes in the fairytale forest,<br />
experienced an artful puppet<br />
theatre on the open-air stage, or enjoyed themselves<br />
in the adventure playground. They were also<br />
able to do a round-the-world tour in a veteran car,<br />
go on the western-style railroad to the cowboys and<br />
Indian venue, or enjoy a Viking boat ride, or a bathtub<br />
ride on the lake. There were days when the<br />
streets all around Brühl were blocked for many kilometres.<br />
Even in the early morning hours, lines of<br />
cars rushed in the direction of Phantasialand.<br />
Richard Schmidt stood inconsolably at the Autobahn<br />
exit and waved the disappointed families on<br />
when the park had already been closed due to overcrowding.<br />
Nobody could have guessed that the<br />
small fairytale park would develop into one of the<br />
largest amusement parks in Europe over the next 40<br />
years.<br />
Löffelhardt, together with his parents, continued to<br />
operate his successful showman emporium in addition<br />
to the newly opened Phantasialand. In 1966,<br />
the Memmingen Klaus firm built a “Polyp” for Löffelhardt.<br />
As he was not satisfied with the delivered<br />
metal sheet gondolas, the Phantasialand employee<br />
Hoffmann created the typical fish-chaise, which was<br />
then installed in both Löffelhardt “Polyp” rides. In the<br />
meantime, the shape was copied by numerous firms<br />
and can be found today on many Polyp rides and<br />
Ghost Rides. Only twelve years after the disaster<br />
with the Düsenspirale, Löffelhardt purchased a new<br />
ride from Anton Schwarzkopf; the travelling suspended<br />
Ghost Ride “Fliegender Teppich”. It was a<br />
magnificent ride in an oriental design, equipped<br />
with a lushly decorated façade and marked the<br />
beginning of a long-term, trustful and friendly cooperation<br />
between Gottlieb Löffelhardt and Anton<br />
Schwarzkopf, which proved to be very successful.<br />
On September 17 th 1969, Gottlieb Löffelhardt suffered<br />
a cruel blow of fate when his parents, Gottlieb<br />
and Hertha Löffelhardt, died in a serious traffic accident<br />
near Hiltpoltstein on their way to the Munich<br />
Oktoberfest. Notwithstanding this tragedy, the park<br />
was extended thereafter from year to year.<br />
In 1970, the Schwarzkopf Gondola Ride “1001<br />
Nacht” was added, which was modelled on the suspended<br />
Ghost Ride “Fliegender Teppich” and the<br />
“Alt-Berlin” theme area was inaugurated. Henceforth,<br />
the “Phantasialand-Jet” Monorail, built in Münsterhausen<br />
as was the Gondola Ride, supplemented<br />
the compliment at the Phantasialand. On the fairgrounds<br />
however, the brand new, imposing “Geister<br />
Rikscha” from Mack went into operation, which<br />
was to be the last newly purchased travelling ride<br />
for the Löffelhardt Betriebe. A cooperation was embarked<br />
upon with the Rick firm from Hannover, and<br />
together they operated the “Jumbo Jet” coaster –<br />
huge by the standards of that time – until they were<br />
able to sell it to the USA. As Gottlieb Löffelhardt decided<br />
to concentrate on the park from then on, the<br />
first notices of sale appeared. One of the two Klaus<br />
“Polyp” rides was built up in Phantasialand, while<br />
the remaining attractions – including materials –<br />
were sold. Shortly after the opening of Phantasialand,<br />
Löffelhardt and Schmidt made further investments,<br />
as the amusement park industry continued<br />
to boom. They invested for example, about three<br />
quarters of a million into the first German Lion <strong>Park</strong><br />
in Tüddern, run by the animal trainer and artist Hans<br />
Rosenberg, to offer the Germans the pleasure of a<br />
safari. As another investment, Gottfried Löffelhardt<br />
bought a share in the “Playcenter” in São Paulo,<br />
Brazil. Due to the energetic support from Gottlieb<br />
Löffelhardt and the numerous used rides from German<br />
manufacturers that he brought to Brazil, the<br />
São Paulo <strong>Park</strong> became a top venue. The park in<br />
Brühl-Badorf continued to grow. When the first water<br />
ride in Germany was built by Löffelhardt himself,<br />
it provided the park visitors a welcome cooling down<br />
in summer. In the western theme area, the large An-<br />
68
ton Schwarzkopf Coaster “Bobbahn 1” (later on<br />
“Gebirgsbahn”) was built up, which was covered by<br />
an artificial mountain range during the following season.<br />
Another coaster, the “Bobbahn 2” – an Alpenblitz<br />
from Schwarzkopf, which was later known as<br />
“Grand Canyon Bahn” – was incorporated into the<br />
“Bobbahn 1”.<br />
The large fire on May 1 st 2001 belongs to the darker<br />
side of the history of the park. Due to a technical<br />
fault, a fire broke out on the “Grand Canyon Bahn”<br />
and spread to the mountain range, so that both rides<br />
quickly burnt down. Luckily, all the passengers were<br />
able to be rescued, thanks to the determined action<br />
taken by the staff. Another landmark was the opening<br />
of the “China-Town” theme area in 1981 after a<br />
construction time of two years, where hundreds of<br />
construction workers, craftsmen, and artists from<br />
Taiwan assembled millions of individual sections<br />
delivered from China. Schmidt and Löffelhardt were<br />
the first Europeans to be awarded with the “Chinese<br />
Culture Medal” in Taipei.<br />
In 1987, the magicians Siegfried and Roy presented<br />
Phantasialand with two white Bengal tigers for its<br />
20 th anniversary, and to mark the 25 th anniversary<br />
visitors were able to enjoy an appearance of the two<br />
magicians themselves. In May 1996, Löffelhardt<br />
pulled off a much-noticed PR coup, when he enticed<br />
Michael Jackson to Brühl – where the legendary star<br />
opened the brand new Vekoma Mine Coaster as the<br />
“Colorado Adventure – “The Michael Jackson Thrill<br />
Ride”, no less! The creative Richard Schmidt had already<br />
retired in 1994 and sold his share to Löffelhardt’s<br />
son, Robert. As a result, Phantasialand became<br />
purely a family enterprise. About 4 years later,<br />
Robert Löffelhardt took over the sole management<br />
of the park, which he had operated with his father<br />
Gottlieb until then. At the same time, the share<br />
in the Brazilian “Playcenter” was sold off, while Gottlieb<br />
Löffelhardt was offered an opportunity in Italy almost<br />
simultaneously. The Mirabilandia <strong>Park</strong> near<br />
Ravenna in Italy, opened by a financial syndicate in<br />
July 1992, enticed only about 650,000 visitors annually,<br />
instead of the targeted 2 million. After numerous<br />
problems, the park was sold to Gottlieb Löffelhardt<br />
and his partner Giancarlo Casoli in November<br />
1996, for which the sophisticated Löffelhardt<br />
even moved to Italy. Within only a couple of years –<br />
marked by high investments into appealing attractions<br />
such as the B&M Coaster “Katun”, or the huge<br />
prominent Ferris Wheel from PAX – annual visitor attendance<br />
increased to some 1.5 million. In 2006,<br />
Mirabilandia was sold to the Spanish chain Parques<br />
Reunidos. Löffelhardt no longer participated in business<br />
affairs after that, “I am, and remain in retirement”,<br />
he said.<br />
Indeed, Gottlieb Löffelhardt – who enthralled the<br />
public – has always avoided the limelight. He once<br />
told a journalist: “Nobody knows Gottlieb Löffelhardt;<br />
you had better<br />
interview my partner,<br />
Richard Schmidt. He<br />
has much more to<br />
tell, and his work is<br />
much more conspicuous.”<br />
Nonetheless,<br />
regular visitors to<br />
Phantasialand knew<br />
his face, as he had a<br />
house with access to<br />
the park, which he<br />
used for his daily<br />
tours of the park until the very last.<br />
Throughout all these decades he has never forgotten<br />
his roots, and so tirelessly stepped in to show<br />
support for all showman industry concerns at a social<br />
and political level. He could be regularly seen<br />
on various fairgrounds talking to old-time fellow travellers<br />
and friends such as Fritz Hoppe. Additionally,<br />
he worked as an expert advisor for amusement<br />
and event parks for the DSB (German Showman<br />
Association), while he also travelled as an ambassador<br />
for the European Showman Union. He also attended<br />
showman industry events, such as the annual<br />
IAAPA or the “The European Theme <strong>Park</strong> Legends”<br />
forum at the EAS 2010 in Rome, where he<br />
spoke about his ample experiences, and his rich<br />
lifetime's work.<br />
With his commitment, his courage and his visions,<br />
Gottlieb Löffelhardt made Phantasialand into one of<br />
the largest and most popular amusement parks in<br />
Europe. With his cheeky and fine sense of humour,<br />
his willingness to help and his respect for other people,<br />
he made friends all over the world. On one<br />
hand, the Phantasialand founder will always be remembered<br />
as a brilliant entertainer, and on the other,<br />
as a tough but fair businessman whose motto in<br />
life was to “make people happy”.<br />

BA view from the lift<br />

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

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

COASTER<br />
The new “Gipfelstürmer”<br />
at Freizeitpark Ruhpolding<br />
is a family-Boomerang<br />
Germany’s coaster world has<br />
been enriched by a new construction<br />
without a great amount<br />
of fuss or public sensation.<br />
Whilst the Movie <strong>Park</strong> Germany<br />
novelty, Heide-<strong>Park</strong>, and<br />
even Bayern <strong>Park</strong> are well<br />
courted and attract much<br />
attention, Freizeitpark Ruhpolding<br />
simply put its “Gipfelstürmer”<br />
into operation.<br />

The park and its attractions<br />
don’t want to be noticeable<br />
at just any price, but offer more<br />
of a nature experience<br />
It was originally founded by Ernst Schuster as a<br />
fairytale park in 1967, but very soon he had other<br />
plans, and built the Franconian Wunderland that<br />
opened in 1976. He sold the area in Ruhpolding in<br />
1979 to Peter Aigner Sr. who had already started to<br />
build up a fairytale park in 1970 in Marquartstein,<br />
only 30 kilometres away from Ruhpolding. In the<br />
interim the attractions have been taken over by his<br />
sons. The older son Peter Aigner Jnr. operates the<br />
Märchen-Erlebnispark Marquartstein, whilst Ludwig<br />
Aigner has managed Ruhpolding since 1997.<br />
A few years later, he changed the name into<br />
Freizeitpark Ruhpolding. But an amusement park<br />
needs a coaster, and so already at the turn of the<br />
century the decision had been made to extend the<br />
supply of attractions. Initially though investment<br />
was made in the infrastructure, and in the years<br />
from 2004 to 2006 the restaurant “Tischlein deck<br />
Dich” was constructed, with the simultaneous closing<br />
of the area north-west from it. It was first in 2009<br />
that thoughts regarding the coaster became more<br />
concrete again.<br />
74
The park is located on a forested mountainside,<br />
which on the one hand contributes to a setting with<br />
lots of atmosphere, but at the same time this also<br />
means that there is hardly any level area available<br />
of a considerable size. So it was obvious right from<br />
the start that the coaster had to fit in with the topography.<br />
Additionally the construction was to be<br />
something special: “We couldn’t score with the<br />
length, so we needed a good idea, a special gag”,<br />
explained Ludwig Aigner. So the focus was on a<br />
Shuttle Coaster right from the beginning, which<br />
travels the same course forwards and then reverses.<br />
Ludwig Aigner then contacted Gerstlauer Rides<br />
with these specifications; no other manufacturer<br />
was approached. Although a wooden coaster was<br />
discussed for a short time because this type of<br />
attraction would have integrated excellently into the<br />
overall park picture, but space conditions and extreme<br />
dampness during the traditionally snowy winter<br />
in the area put an end to the idea very quickly.<br />
Following the conclusion of the contract in the<br />
spring of 2010, Gerstlauer began work on the construction<br />
details. A Shuttle Coaster had not yet been<br />
built by the firm, so there were a number of new<br />
aspects to take into consideration. These concerned<br />
in particular the friction drive lift at the end of the<br />
course. A free roll of the operating motors allows the<br />
The track course near the<br />
ground and clinging to the<br />
mountainside is a very special<br />
characteristic of this coaster<br />
The station area will be attractively<br />
designed by next<br />
season<br />
75
COASTER<br />
The ride begins with<br />
a reverse lift, before going<br />
downhill<br />
A trendy parallel turn that<br />
could be found on big coasters<br />
is also built into the course but<br />
in this case is travelled through<br />
too slowly to achieve airtime<br />
train to be taken over smoothly as soon as its speed<br />
corresponds to the speed of the friction drive system.<br />
The ideal contact pressure is determined during<br />
the start up. When the train travels down the<br />
second lift backwards again, the rolling direction of<br />
the friction drive wheels is reversed.<br />
A definite opening date was not scheduled initially,<br />
because the weather in particular can very quickly<br />
have an effect on a timetable. Although Pentecost<br />
was kept in view, “summer” was scheduled as a<br />
precaution. “We had snow from the 10 th of December<br />
until the end of January” said Ludwig Aigner,<br />
so the infrastructure could be completed by the<br />
middle of April without any hectic. The subfloor<br />
comprises of a two to eight metre thick bed of clay<br />
over the rocks, in which anchors were affixed that<br />
carry the 38 foundations. The construction was built<br />
up by the middle of May, followed by putting the attraction<br />
into operation and the TÜV inspection.<br />
And without much ado, the<br />
“Gipfelstrümer” was released to the visitors<br />
on Pentecost Saturday. Although the<br />
station is still very provisional, this will<br />
change in the near future, and the dimensions<br />
are already recognisable on<br />
the massive timber framework. The wood<br />
comes from the family owned sawmill,<br />
and some of the processed trees had<br />
stood in the area that the coaster has<br />
been built on. Currently the roof is covered<br />
with slate shingles, and with that fits<br />
in smoothly with the optical impression of<br />
the park. “In winter we have up to two metres<br />
of snow, which means a snow load of<br />
390 kilos per square metre”, explained<br />
<strong>Park</strong> Manager Aigner. The the interior finish<br />
were developed by an artist: wooden<br />
carvings of the local animal world will replace<br />
temporary decoration from building<br />
timber. The animal world can also be seen<br />
in the train design, as the front car is decorated as<br />
the head of an ibex including impressive antlers.<br />
The seats are divided, and each one has its own<br />
lap bar. In combination with the additions on the bar<br />
pipe that prevent passengers being able to stretch<br />
their legs out of the car, the attraction has been released<br />
for children with a height of one metre as<br />
well. Those under six years of age must be accompanied<br />
by an adult in the same car.<br />
The ride begins with the train being pulled out of<br />
the station backwards and onto the lift. In the case<br />
of “Gipfelstrümer” the height is nine metres, and<br />
due to the sloping site is not more than 1.5 metres<br />
above the ground. Finally the train comes to a<br />
standstill in an almost horizontal position, whilst the<br />
lift chain catch goes into the predetermined position.<br />
In order to increase the passenger tension, the<br />
vehicle holds this position for a short time. And then<br />
it’s downhill, with the train travelling through the station<br />
at nearly 50 kilometres per hour. This is followed<br />
directly by a three quarter right curve, after which<br />
the train ascends and travels over and away from<br />
the station exit. This hill offers a directional change<br />
that however is travelled through a little bit too slowly,<br />
but naturally the same intensity can’t be expected<br />
as on a large coaster. The moderate speed is<br />
however comfortable owing to the following backward<br />
section. In the meantime, the course leading<br />
to the left travels close to the ground again, and an<br />
S-formed swerve ends with the second lift. Amazingly<br />
the train is seized by the friction drive wheels<br />
jerk-free here, bringing the vehicle once again into<br />
an almost horizontal position that is the same height<br />
as the section on the other end of the track. These<br />
two end sections of the lift were planned for effect<br />
and also to eventually install housing. However, the<br />
view from the first lift onto the mountain setting is so<br />
impressive that this would mar the experience. The<br />
reverse section of the ride now begins, with the train<br />
being braked at the end of the station, coming to a<br />

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

At long last! Holiday<br />

Holiday <strong>Park</strong> celebrates its 40 th<br />

same time, big television stars<br />
are moving into the park such as<br />
Maya the Bee, Wickie, Tabaluga<br />
and the Anubis House. All the<br />
more reason for us to present a<br />

look into the future.<br />

No question about it: Maya<br />
the Bee and her friends are the<br />
darlings of the public<br />
In November last year, Holiday <strong>Park</strong> was the first<br />
German park to become a member of the Belgian<br />
theme park group Plopsa from media company<br />
Studio 100, which was founded in 1996 as an<br />
internationally operating company. In Germany, the<br />
big television stars Maya the Bee, Wickie, Tabaluga<br />
and the series “Das Haus Anubis” belong to the<br />
Studio-100-Family, and with that Holiday <strong>Park</strong> has<br />
apparently received just what was missing over the<br />
years: the correct themes. And in actual fact the<br />
new operator is using the large parks such as<br />
Disney as a model, but the way there will still have<br />
to take some time.<br />
The first outside influences can already be seen in<br />
the first season after the takeover. The old mascot<br />
Holly has been joined by Maya the Bee and Flip,<br />
Tabaluga and Wickie. They already all greet visitors<br />
at the entrance, and naturally also in the complete<br />
park area.<br />
The first successful rebuilding step can already be<br />
seen on the large area before the “Freefall Tower”,<br />
the “Tanzenden Fontänen” that has upgraded the<br />
rather dismal “Platz der Nationen”, and offers water<br />
fun for the smaller and older kids. At long last the<br />
waiting area for the Freefall Tower has been newly<br />
designed, and prettified with scenes from Haus<br />
Anubis: there are a number of pictures and video<br />
sequences from Haus Anubis inside, and on the<br />
roof of the building there is also a large video<br />
screen, showing excerpts from the television series<br />
that can be seen from afar.<br />
“Holly’s Fahrschule” is located before the Wild<br />
Mouse “Holly’s Wilde Autofahrt”, which only opened<br />
last year, and fitting to the theme, small visitors can<br />
have their first experience in driving a car on the<br />
attraction. A special highlight here is the petrol station.<br />
With smiles from ear to ear, almost every child<br />
stops to hold the nozzle to fill up the car, and there<br />
are no tears regarding the current high petrol prices<br />
either. The cars are naturally battery operated and<br />
are recharged daily by personnel.<br />
A number of rides came into being right on time for<br />
the start of the main season, in particular for children.<br />
A number of attractions have disappeared,<br />
among others the aged track ride “Tour des Fleurs”<br />
that has been replaced by the track ride arena “Flip<br />
der Grashüpfer” from Metallbau Emmeln. The curvy<br />
course travels through a colourful flower world, and<br />
78
past figures from the well known series. The chaises<br />
in the form of grasshoppers move up and down<br />
smoothly during the comfortable 172 metre long<br />
course.<br />
The kiddie Freefall Tower “Majas Blumenturm”, a 12<br />
metre high tower from Zierer, which was not completely<br />
themed as a huge sunflower with seats in<br />
the form of petals at the beginning of the season,<br />
stands directly nearby.<br />
Another family attraction is located in the new Maya<br />
the Bee area: “Herr Frosch” from Zamperla is a<br />
small roundabout with bright green frog figures<br />
travelling up and down in a circle. Some may, without<br />
a doubt, already know “Herr Frosch” from other<br />
Plopsa-<strong>Park</strong>s in Belgium or the Netherlands.<br />
Other already existing ride constructions fit in<br />
amazingly well with their design into this new bee<br />
area – did perhaps the earlier <strong>Park</strong> Manager Wolfgang<br />
Schneider foresee years ago that Maya would<br />
move into his park? Other than that, the new park<br />
management has discovered the target group of<br />
children up to 3 years of age, a group that has been<br />
somewhat neglected by Holiday <strong>Park</strong> for many<br />
years.<br />
The “Anno Tobak”, the canal water ride that came<br />
into being in 1974, is now the “Tabalugas Abenteuer”.<br />
Although the 260 metres long boat ride continues<br />
to travel through the spruce forest since July,<br />
which is now called “Tabalugas Grünland”, there<br />
are also promised themed highlights for the whole<br />
family with many special effects and ten deceptively<br />
authentic looking animatronics figures. Passengers<br />
will undertake an adventurous journey with the<br />
small dragon and his friends in order to save visitors<br />
to Arktos from the evil ruler of “Eisland”, in<br />
imaginatively designed boats with onboard-audio.<br />
The “Dancing Fountains”<br />
in front of the Freefall Tower<br />
will become the centre point of<br />
the park after the erection of<br />
the new entrance arbor<br />
The merchandising has<br />
been (almost) completely changed<br />
– here and there are still a<br />
few earlier Holiday <strong>Park</strong> souvenirs<br />
available<br />
79
“Flip” from Metallbau Emmeln<br />
opened punctually to the<br />
main season; and since then<br />
it’s all about travelling through<br />
fields of flowers on the back of<br />
a grasshopper – perfect theming<br />
can be so simple when<br />
one knows how<br />
“Herr Frosch” from Zamperla<br />
asking for a dance<br />
This update of the ride comes at a cost of 750,000<br />
Euro, and is the result of close agreement with<br />
musician Peter Maffay, in co-production with<br />
Heimotion (the successor firm of Heimo), and Goldbogen<br />
Entertainments.<br />
The History of the <strong>Park</strong><br />
Even though themed attractions are missing at Holiday<br />
<strong>Park</strong> in many corners, the park has played a<br />
leading role over the past 40 years, by the adaption<br />
of ground breaking innovations that were often<br />
installed only later at other parks – an advantage of<br />
owner-operation that doesn’t require long term<br />
decision-making. Holiday <strong>Park</strong> remained in private<br />
hands for 40 seasons, and that’s reflected throughout<br />
the whole park. Erika Schneider, founder of<br />
the park and being a show-woman,<br />
hoofed it initially through the country<br />
with a midget group, and purchased<br />
the “Pfälzer Märchenpark” in Hassloch<br />
in 1970. A stationary midget<br />
village came into being there, together<br />
with a midget circus. As extension,<br />
a dolphin show and a zoo were<br />
added, and already in the first year<br />
70,000 visitors could be counted. The<br />
first vaudeville theatre opened in<br />
1972 with 600 seats, and the success<br />
of the dolphin show was celebrated<br />
with a new dolphinarium with 1,800<br />
seats.<br />
Holiday <strong>Park</strong> considered a varied<br />
show programme to be of importance<br />
quite early, and in the following years<br />
also busily set about establishing a<br />
choice in gastronomy, offering cafés<br />
and restaurants. In 1978 the first<br />
180°-cinema in Europe was opened, and in 1979<br />
the still currently presented “Superwirbel” went into<br />
operation – a Corkscrew attraction from Vekoma,<br />
which in the first years after opening retained its<br />
charm and was considered a novelty. There were<br />
constant extensions and rebuilding in the whole<br />
park, new restaurants, and with the “Pfälzer Dorf”,<br />
the only theme park area in the park.<br />
The larger park attractions came after son Wolfgang<br />
Schneider took over: the “Donnerfluss” went<br />
into operation in 1984, and was the first Whitewater<br />
Rafting construction in Germany with a rotating<br />
platform as entrance. In the following years attractions<br />
such as the “Burg Falkenstein“ were added –<br />
a ride through medieval scenes in a lovely setting,<br />
and the “Teufelsfässer”, a water attraction with, at<br />
that time, the longest drop in Europe. The records<br />
continued: the “Freefall Tower” from Intamin was the<br />
first in 1997 in Germany, and a huge sensation. 30<br />
years Holiday <strong>Park</strong> was celebrated in 2001 with one<br />
of the largest coasters in Germany, and even today<br />
“Expedition GeForce” with its 82° inclines has no<br />
equal in Germany. The park is particularly proud of<br />
the long history of its waterskiing stunt show that entertains<br />
with a new show programme almost every<br />
year, and will be able to celebrate its 30 year existence<br />
in the 2012 season. A lovely extension to the<br />
waterskiing-lake is the “Lighthouse Tower”, an 80<br />
metre high “Starflyer” from Funtime, which opened<br />
in celebration of the park’s 35 th year anniversary in<br />
2006.<br />
Holiday <strong>Park</strong> was able to present innovative novelties<br />
and played a leading role as example for other<br />
German parks for some time. However during the<br />
past years the park could no longer hold this position,<br />
a fact which was reflected in the visitor numbers.<br />
Another reason could also be the lack of a<br />
successor within the Schneider family, resulting in<br />
80
a steady sinking of willingness to invest. Insofar, it<br />
remains to be hoped that the entry of the new characters,<br />
the transformation into a real theme park,<br />
and a consistent structure can tie the park to its past<br />
success, and that visitors very soon can submerge<br />
themselves for a whole day in the fascinating world<br />
of Maya the Bee, Tabaluga and Wickie.<br />
At any rate the first half of the new season under<br />
new management broke all records: an unbelievable<br />
60% visitor increase to the same period in the<br />
previous year! Steve van den Kerkhof, CEO of the<br />
Plopsa-Group:”We were sure that the Studio100<br />
characters and the new concept would bring a<br />
large response, but we hadn’t counted on such an<br />
increase in visitor numbers.”<br />
As a result this year’s investment amount is to be<br />
two million Euro, followed by a further nine million<br />
Euro next year. The two million will be used to realize<br />
or more specifically extend the “Biene Maja” theme<br />
area (between the current entrance and the “Anubis”<br />
Freefall Tower”). And at long last seven million<br />
will be used for a real entrance arbour between the<br />
parking area and the Freefall Tower. An estimated<br />
amount of 25 million Euro will be used for the redesign<br />
and extension of Holiday <strong>Park</strong> into a theme<br />
park over the next five years. An indoor park independent<br />
of weather conditions is also a possibility.<br />
The target is however to change the regionally orientated<br />
park into a nationwide family attraction with<br />
the help of the well known TV-characters. Patrick<br />
Elmendorff from Studio100 Media (earlier EM.TV)<br />
explained that their own characters have a 3 generation<br />
potential, which is something that other<br />
comic figures lack, for example Spongebob.<br />
“Majas Blumenturm” from<br />
Zierer which unfortunately isn’t<br />
designed as a flower tower at all<br />
The redesigned water ride<br />
will be the only attraction with a<br />
Tabaluga theme for the time<br />
being – not well known enough<br />
according to <strong>Park</strong> Management<br />

Anubis”<br />
The decades old “makeshift”<br />

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

MAXX WATERPARK<br />
Text:<br />
Frank Lanfer<br />

The Turkish water slide manufacturer Polin only<br />
introduced this new slide idea at the previous<br />
IAAPA 2010 event, and only six months later, in<br />
June 2011, the first “King Cobra” went into<br />
operation.<br />
Two parallel sliding lanes start<br />
from a mutual platform, where<br />
park guests climb into twoseat<br />
tubes. After sliding<br />
through a type of partially<br />
covered figure-8-element, the pipes open again,<br />
followed by an approximately eight metre drop at<br />
up to 50 km/h. However at the other end of this<br />
Boomerang-element, the name giver cobra<br />
snake, tries to devour its passengers. The tube<br />
slide dives into the throat for a short time and<br />
disappears behind fog, sprays of water, and<br />
sound effects before shooting towards the ground<br />
again by the aid of gravity, and so avoiding the<br />
poisonous snake. In addition to these special<br />
effects, the complete colouring of the slide is<br />
particularly noticeable, making it something very<br />
special among water slides optically.<br />
84
The location of the first “King Cobra” is the 40<br />
hectare sized MAXX-Hotel-resort in Belek on the<br />
Mediterranean coast, around 45 kilometres from<br />
Antalya. The establishment’s own water park is<br />
10,000 m 2 in size and contains 10 different slides<br />
that all stem from the Polin firm, which was<br />
founded in 1976. A second “King Cobra” was<br />
opened in the Russian Djubga water park on the<br />
11 th of June, and will be followed by five other constructions<br />
of the same type for 2012.<br />

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

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

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

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

Director Reid Miller has the responsibly<br />

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

This would be a great further development for<br />
other aircraft museums around the world: the<br />

On the 6 th of June the normal Evergreen Aviation<br />
and Space Museum in McMinnville (US-State of<br />
Oregon) put the indoor water park Wings & Waves<br />
containing 10 slides from WhitewaterWest, into operation.<br />
A decommissioned Boeing 747-100 has<br />
been mounted on the roof of the up to 19 metre high<br />
roof of the building, with the four rear emergency<br />
exits being used for slide departure: the largest is<br />
170 metres long and the fastest 110 metres long.<br />
Inside the 6,000 m 2 building there is amongst others,<br />
an “Aquaplay” water playground over which a<br />
somewhat minimized fire fighting helicopter empties<br />
water over the heads of the parks guests every<br />
few minutes from a container... And peaple say that<br />
a museum is dry! The operator of both the museum<br />
and the water park is the freight airline company<br />

that will never be realized?<br />

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

After having to distance themselves<br />
from a 40 hectare sized ground area<br />
on the outskirts of Warsaw due to<br />
problems with residents, a property<br />
was found in autumn 2010 in the<br />
small town of Grodzisk Mazowiecki,<br />
located approximately 30 kilometres<br />
from the capital. The future possibility<br />
to erect something other than<br />
a theme park and entertainment<br />
district on the 240 hectare area that<br />
is ideally located directly on the<br />
freeway from Warsaw to Berlin that<br />
will be completed in 2012, such as<br />
a financially lucrative shopping mall<br />
or factory outlet centre is out of the<br />
question. According to the mayor of<br />
the town, Grzegorz Benedykcinski,<br />
the area concerned has been<br />
zoned as a recreation area. In actual<br />
fact there were already a number of attempts to<br />
establish a theme park in Warsaw. For example<br />
Michael Jackson wanted to erect a subsidiary of<br />
his Neverland-Ranch there, and Denmark's Tivoli<br />
proclaimed the intention a number of years ago of<br />
building an almost identical inner city park as in<br />
Copenhagen in Poland’s capital city. This time<br />
however, everything is different, assured the likeable<br />
initiator P. J. Mulder: the point of no return has<br />
been overstepped because an 80-person team is<br />
no longer working on the design, but already on<br />
the realization.<br />
The first building phase is estimated to cost 400<br />
million Euro, and is to already commence in the<br />
spring of 2012. It will contain the theme park, water<br />
park, and hotel and entertainment village with a<br />
cinema complex, restaurants, pubs, and discos.<br />
The second phase is planned to be completed by<br />
2020, and will comprise of a second theme park,<br />
a conference centre with additional hotel and a<br />
luxurious wellness centre for an additional 350 million<br />
Euro. A 90 metre diameter and up 30 metre<br />
high dome is planned to be erected for the indoor<br />
water park “The Palm” containing ten water slides<br />
and themed in a Caribbean style, and will be an<br />
architectural master feat.<br />
The planned entrance to the theme park reminds<br />
one strongly of the area at Disneyland Paris, because<br />
visitors here will also have to use the hotel<br />
underpass to reach the park. The park theme will<br />
lean strongly towards the myths and legends of<br />
the world, and will be divided into five theme areas,<br />
similar to the situation at the Universal Islands<br />
Of Adventure in Florida: the Mainstreet “Adventure<br />
Harbour” will entice visitors with merchandising<br />
and restaurants, the “Creature Lagoon” will be in<br />
cartoon-style, the medieval “Castle Island” will be<br />
associated with the current Harry-Potter-hype, the<br />
“Legendary Island” will unite the temple constructions<br />
of the Maya and the Inca, and the<br />
“Polski Plaza”, opened all year round with principally<br />
indoor attractions, is a homage to historic<br />
Warsaw. A total of 25 attractions and shows will<br />
spread over the park grounds.
The fact that the Dutch manufacturer Vekoma as<br />
main partner will naturally supply most of the ride<br />
constructions is logical, among them are the<br />
Junior Coaster “Pegasus Taxi”, the mine attraction<br />
“Merlin’s Rainbow Hunt”, the Junior-Boomerang<br />
“Ra’s Challenge”, the Madhouse “Twardoski’s<br />
Mansion of Magic”, and a “Sky Shuttle” viewing<br />
tower. Only a “Twist ’n’ Splash” from Mack, a Rapid<br />
Ride from Hafema, a number of kiddie and smaller<br />
round rides from Zamperla, and various water<br />
slides from ProSlide have been additionally purchased<br />
to attain a balanced spectrum of attractions.<br />
Peter Jan Mulder is very sure about his project of<br />
a lifetime: “The fact that there is a huge demand<br />
is proved by the many Dino-<strong>Park</strong>s in Poland that<br />
have an unbelievably large clientele, although<br />
there’s not much to see except 20 or 30 stiff plastic<br />
dinosaurs.” Although there are a number of Lunaparks,<br />
they are only comparable to third-class fairgrounds.<br />
Naturally the local average wage has to<br />
be kept in mind. Mulder, who is married to a Polish<br />
woman, explains: “The Poles don’t save as the<br />
Dutch do, but spend everything.” This is the reason<br />
that the many shopping malls in the country<br />
are always full, and he considers a future admittance<br />
price of 24 Euro as reasonable. This project<br />
is also using the possibility to profit from the EUgrants<br />
of nearly 70%. In the official press announcement<br />
however there was something quite<br />
vague mentioned to the tune of an “international<br />
consortium of private and institutional investors<br />
having a registered seat in Luxembourg.”<br />
The projected total visitor number of two million<br />
visitors annually for the theme and water park,<br />
together with the entertainment complex appears<br />
realistic, however the question remains as to<br />
whether this number justifies such an expensive<br />
theme resort. In comparison: Efteling und Europa-<br />
<strong>Park</strong> have over four million visitors – and that without<br />
a cost intensive indoor water park. Wouldn’t it<br />
be more sensible to erect a park for “just” 50 million<br />
Euro at the start such as Belantis in East Germany<br />
that had to start with nil initially? However it’s<br />
all about the will of the initiator team to be Tropical<br />
Islands, Europa-<strong>Park</strong> und City Walk all at the same<br />
time – perhaps too much of a good thing all at<br />
once.<br />
However this plan does have a great chance of<br />
realization, as one fact speaks volumes: it will be<br />
the first modern theme park in Eastern Europe that<br />
the 38 million consumer friendly population of<br />
Poland wants desperately. Initiator Peter Jan Mulder:<br />
“This project will change Poland, and the<br />
country will never be the same as before.” Looking<br />
at it from a recreational angle, the time is right.<br />
It remains to be hoped that the opening will take<br />
place in three years.<br />

Rubicon Group Holding wants to erect a huge<br />
holiday resort in the Jordanian vacation city of<br />
Aqaba on the Red Sea.<br />
The centre point is to be a new type of theme park<br />
with a Star-Trek-theme that will be designed by the<br />
right holder Paramount Recreation (licensed by<br />
CBS Consumer Products). Interactive attractions<br />
and ride constructions will be put to use in particular<br />
in order to – as the saying goes – bring a “theme<br />
park of the 23 rd century” into being. In addition to<br />
the Star-Trek theme, other entertainment offers are<br />
to be realized on the 74 hectare area, with the<br />
themes being orientated on Babylonian, British,<br />
and Roman influences that actually existed in<br />
Jordan. The architecture offices Callison will be<br />
responsible for the planning of the 714 million Euro<br />
priced resort. The resort offer on entertainment will<br />
be rounded off by a cinema complex, an evening<br />
entertainment complex, and hotels and shopping,<br />
explained Rubicon’s Manager Randa S. Ayoubi.<br />
The opening is planned for 2014.<br />

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

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

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

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

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

POTTS PARK<br />

Lagotronics, Lionel Heiwy<br />
The design sketches for the<br />
interactive cable control tower<br />
There are almost 80 Heegecable<br />
control towers worldwide,<br />
so it’s no wonder that<br />
they continue to be produced<br />
unchanged since 1995, and<br />
carry on being erected with<br />
new types of themes. And now<br />
– there is a further development<br />
of this bestseller: the<br />
interactive Upgrade-Kit from<br />
Smartrides/Lagotronics.<br />
The very first cable control tower manufactured<br />
by Heege, and simultaneously the first tower in<br />
coloured pencil design is located at the German<br />
Potts <strong>Park</strong> near Minden. And this tower has<br />
become the world’s first interactive cable control<br />
attraction this season.<br />
The idea came from Ralf Caspar, long-term Sales<br />
Manager with Heege, who contacted the Dutch<br />
manufacturer Lagotronics last year. The so-called<br />
“Lagotrics” system has already been proven on<br />
various ride constructions already, among them<br />
“Atlantis” at Europa-<strong>Park</strong>. Lagotronics was not<br />
reluctant to install its system on the tower, and so<br />
the utilization possibilities shown here came into<br />
being. The many attractions designed as a light<br />
102
house will also be able to be presented with a<br />
fitting themed concept soon.<br />
Potts <strong>Park</strong> had shown great interest even before<br />
the idea was completely thought out, and made<br />
an order right after the test run presentation. The<br />
idea to place four trees around the tower came<br />
from Henrik Pott personally. Each tree carries 16<br />
targets, each with a different value and recognisable<br />
in colourful LEDs. They are so placed that<br />
they can only be hit at a certain position,<br />
ascending and descending during the rotation.<br />
Essential is a well functioning team – one riding<br />
guest operates the laser pistol; the other has to<br />
attain the correct height – if one<br />
wants to leave the attraction a<br />
winner. A display in front of the tower<br />
shows the winner of the actual<br />
ride, the previous ride, and even<br />
the day’s and season’s best.<br />
The interactive extensive can be<br />
installed on existing towers without<br />
problems, as this is a completely<br />
independent system with the complete<br />
control located in an external<br />
control cabinet, and there is only<br />
little mechanical interfacing. ■<br />

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

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

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