KALEIDOSCOPE<br />

AVENGER<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />

Last year, Spanish showman Bañuls parted with<br />

his Fabbri Propeller “Booster”. New owner is<br />

showman Alexis Coquoz from Carling, France.<br />

Shortly after the transports had arrived at the<br />

storage yard in Carling, overhauling of the<br />

construction began. As there are many “Booster”<br />

Propellers currently on tour, the French showman<br />

decided to rename and redesign the construction,<br />

built 10 years ago. <strong>The</strong> redesigning was inspired by<br />

the blockbuster “Avenger”. Coquoz then presented<br />

his new purchase, equipped with LEDs and a new<br />

station area, at the Foire Attractive de Printemps in<br />

Nancy, where the “Avenger” and Kopp’s “Booster<br />

Maxxx” had made their French première. This year,<br />

the “Avenger” Propeller will appear at, among other<br />

venues, Metz, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Epinal,<br />

Senas, Firminy, Romans sur Isére and Bourg-en-<br />

Bresse. <strong>The</strong> ride has ground measurements of 15 x<br />

8 metres and a height of about 40 metres. Moreover,<br />

Coquoz will continue to tour the “Pirates Show”<br />

Walkthrough construction.<br />

HIP HOP FLY<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />

After the showman Romano Lagerin had sold the<br />

giant chain ride “Luxor” to Andreas Bauer from<br />

Zuchwil, Switzerland, he presented his newly<br />

purchased “Hip Hop Fly” Afterburner at the Barbarossamarkt<br />

in Gelnhausen in early March.<br />

In 2000, the ride was built by KMG for the Wendler-Deinert<br />

firm from Unna, which successfully operated the<br />

construction up until the end of the 2008 season and<br />

sold it to the Detmold showman Jürgen Noack in March<br />

2009. <strong>The</strong> ride’s most striking feature is its opulent<br />

lighting system, providing quite an impression with an<br />

exhilarating light show after subndown. This season,<br />

Romano Lagerin will present the swing at, among other<br />

venues, the Frankfurt Wäldchestag in Bad Vilbel, Darmstadt,<br />

Zerbst and at the Frankfurt Dippemess. It will not<br />

be long, before additional lighingt effects will further enhance<br />

the swing’s conspicuous illumination. ■<br />

DIE TOTAL VERRÜCKTE JAGDHÜTTE<br />

Text & Photos: Nils Benthien<br />

At the Ochtrup Spring Market, showman Carsten<br />

Westendorf from Bünde presented his redesigned<br />

“Die total verrückte Jagdhütte” shooting<br />

gallery built by the Stork firm in 1973.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new front was made by the Kreienborg firm from<br />

Visbek near Vechta, and later painted by the<br />

Elfering firm. <strong>The</strong> electrical system was completely<br />

renewed and LED lights were installed<br />

for its lighting array. For shooting,<br />

customers can choose between air and laser rifles.<br />

Apart from shooting at stars, customers are also<br />

invited to prove their accuracy in firing in wild game<br />

hunting, as well as shooting at pyramids and<br />

flowers. <strong>The</strong> shooting gallery has a front length of 14<br />

metres, is 2.5 metres deep and some 5.5 metres<br />

high. In addition to the shooting gallery Carsten<br />

Westendorf also operates several sweets booths;<br />

among others, the “Zuckerpalast” and the “Alter<br />

Zuckerspeicher”.<br />

It is the second season on tour with the “Mäusestadt”,<br />

built by Dietz, for Johanna Brambach and<br />

her daughter Sharleen.<br />

For environmental reasons, the attraction has now<br />

been equipped with power-saving long-life LED<br />

lights. Preparations are already underway for the redesign<br />

of the large mouse figure in the front area,<br />

which will be enthroned on a large cheese cube<br />

instead of a barrel in the future.<br />

Wheelchair users can easily access the attraction by<br />

the aid of a lift in the entrance area. Inside the show<br />

and funhouse attraction visitors will encounter several<br />

hundred mice. Apart from Würzburg, this year’s<br />

tour schedule includes venues in Fulda, Bergisch-<br />

Gladbach, Bad Arolsen, Rodenkirchen, and Oldenburg.<br />

GEISTERHOTEL<br />

Text & Photo:<br />

Helmut Bresler<br />

<strong>The</strong> former “Mammut-Höhle”, after touring as<br />

“Geistertempel” for the past few years, is now<br />

“history”. <strong>The</strong> visual appearance of the ride has<br />

been completely revamped and, according to a<br />

draft of plans from Heinz Opitz, it will be reborn<br />

as “Das Geisterhotel” and will celebrate its première<br />

at the Hamburg Sommerdom.<br />

<strong>The</strong> attraction is, however, still operated by Willy Fellerhoff.<br />

Most of the rebuilding will be carried out by<br />

the Mack firm from Waldkirch; and there is indeed a<br />

great deal of work, as the large ride with a 30-metre<br />

front can be only built up section by section. Everything<br />

is to be renewed, including the large name sign,<br />

which will offer every effect technically feasible today,<br />

on a modern LED system. Merely the framework will<br />

be retained, and with it the statics. Further to this,<br />

even during the course of this season, the Aztec-style<br />

passenger gondolas from the former ride will be<br />

changed into travelling hotel beds, where passengers<br />

don't have to lie down, but rather can sit up<br />

straight as they ride through the attraction.<br />

<strong>The</strong> effects and figures are<br />

modernised or newly purchased.<br />

On several levels, the ride through<br />

the “Geisterhotel” will go past rooms<br />

that will reveal their secrets and provide<br />

a creepy atmosphere. Two major<br />

novelties are planned for the outdoor<br />

area, the “Dienstmädchen”, or<br />

chambermaid and the “page”, both<br />

some three metres tall, talking to<br />

each other and enticing the visitors<br />

to step into the Geisterhotel. With this<br />

new ride being completely redesigned,<br />

Willy Fellerhoff will resume<br />

touring regularly. Relocating the ride<br />

requires nine transport vehicles. ■<br />

KALEIDOSCOPE<br />

NEW ILLUMINATION<br />

Text & Photos:<br />

Helmut Bresler<br />

Immediately after the Erlangen Bergkirchweih,<br />

Ewald Schneider began with the reconstruction<br />

work and the installation of new lighting effects on<br />

his largest travelling Freefall Tower in the world.<br />

Die Lichtleisten mit den klassischen Kappenbirnen am<br />

<strong>The</strong> light strips with classic capped bulbs were removed<br />

from the tower and replaced by modern LED<br />

lights. <strong>The</strong> latest light technology came from the Klaus<br />

Kaires firm from Neumünster and will be presented at<br />

the Düsseldorf Rheinwiese for the first time. According<br />

to the owner, the amount invested was in excess of<br />

150,000. As a result, the ascent and the free fall of the<br />

gondola are accompanied by even more spectacular<br />

and more impressive lighting effects from the lighting<br />

system. LED lights offer many advantages, such as<br />

lower heat generation, longer life, multi-colour illumination<br />

and considerable energy reduction. All in all, it<br />

is not only a noticeable visual enhancement of the ride,<br />

but also an environmentally responsible use of energy.<br />

Another special feature is the Methuselah-fare, granting<br />

passengers from the age of 60 a 50 percent reduction.<br />

Christina Schneider’s idea has earned much<br />

praise, and is very well received.<br />

BAPTISM AT “ALTE LANDHAUS”<br />

Text & Photo:<br />

Uwe Holzmann<br />

For many decades now the “Alte Landhaus” from<br />

the Bötticher family from Lehrte has consistently<br />

been a popular venue for festive family celebrations<br />

on the Schützenplatz during the Volksfest<br />

events.<br />

For the festive baptism of Anthony Ahrend on 11 th April,<br />

his parents Corinna and Walter-Oliver Ahrend had<br />

invited their large family and many friends and colleagues,<br />

during this year’s spring festival. <strong>The</strong> church<br />

service in which Anthony, supported by his older<br />

brother Jimmy and in the presence of his godparents<br />

Katja Armbrecht and Raymond Armbrecht, was<br />

admitted into the Christian Church, was conducted by<br />

showman pastor Bräuchle from Stuttgart. After the<br />

baptism, Anthony Ahrend’s special day was celebrated<br />

with a lunch buffet and a coffee table at Bötticher’s<br />

“Altem Landhaus”.<br />

TROUBLE IN ERLANGEN<br />

Text & Photo: Helmut Bresler<br />

<strong>The</strong> Berg event was nothing short of a disaster –<br />

cold and soaking wet, fewer visitors than expected,<br />

and poor financial results. <strong>The</strong> placing of<br />

Kaiser’s “Cyber Space” ride caused intense discussions,<br />

and the problem has not yet been legally<br />

clarified.<br />

<strong>The</strong> ride was built up on a former beer tent site on<br />

private property. Living directly next to it is a family that<br />

seems to hate the Berg event. Having accepted a<br />

compensatory payment, in addition to the stand fee,<br />

they refrained from obtaining a restraining order that<br />

would have forced the ride to stand still, due to the<br />

violation of their “airspace” and feeling severely<br />

disturbed by ride noises and objects lost by the passengers.<br />

According to the Kaiser family, they have<br />

never experienced anything like this, and needed a<br />

couple of days to relax after the war of nerves. It is<br />

hard to fathom why this type of attraction was approved<br />

for this site, as a similar attraction placed in<br />

this location had already caused fierce discussions<br />

two years ago.<br />

DISCO PARTY<br />

Half of the paybox is out of<br />

an old VW-Bully<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dutch showman Frank Melissen from Guerschild<br />

in the north of Holland celebrated a highly<br />

successful première with his new Walkthrough<br />

construction, “Disco Party”, at the Zaanenlaan<br />

Fair in Haarlem. On the opening day, many a showman<br />

presented him with numerous floral arrangements,<br />

greeting cards and good luck coins.<br />

<strong>The</strong> motto of the construction, in which visitors are<br />

taken on a trip back to the days of “flower-power”, the<br />

legendary peace emblem and a shrill and colourful<br />

disco world, is “Back to the 70s”. A walk along the<br />

course with multi-spectral spectacles is accompanied<br />

with music from the disco era. <strong>The</strong> corridors<br />

were decorated with numerous fluorescent symbols,<br />

effectively illuminated by black light. Spotlights,<br />

disco balls, and fluorescent sticks providing the<br />

course with beautiful light refracted by the special<br />

spectacles. Melissen came up with the idea a year<br />

ago. As several attractions of this type are already<br />

being successfully toured throughout the neighbouring<br />

countries, he decided to present an attraction like<br />

this at Dutch events. During the winter break, the<br />

“Mäusestadt” was rebuilt as the “Disco Party” by the<br />

owner himself. While the new front was colourfully<br />

and appealingly designed by the Seifert firm, the<br />

name sign and the entire lighting system were built<br />

by the Multi Light firm. <strong>The</strong> construction, with ground<br />

measurements of 12 x 7 metres and a height of 8.50<br />

metres, has been built on just one trailer. <strong>The</strong> paybox,<br />

built out of one half of an old VW camper van has to<br />

be transported separately though. This year, the trip<br />

into the disco world will be presented, among other<br />

venues, in Uden, Best, Weert, Eindhoven, and Alkmaar.<br />

ULTIMATE<br />

NEW PRODUCTS<br />

<strong>The</strong> 43 rd “Freak Out”-<br />

example from KMG<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />

A couple of weeks ago, Dutch showman Marinus<br />

de Weijer from Emmerich, located in the northwest<br />

of North-Rhine Westphalia, became the<br />

proud owner of the brand new Freak Out<br />

“Ultimate”, with which he celebrated a successful<br />

première at the fair in the Dutch town of Sneek.<br />

It has already been the 43 rd Freak Out example built<br />

by the ride manufacturer KMG. Dark blue and yellow<br />

are the predominant colours of the attraction; the<br />

name sign - mounted in front of the wave and on the<br />

lighting pillars - provides the only contrast. <strong>The</strong> showman<br />

deliberately chose this type of swing due to its<br />

ride pattern, and for the new purchase he has parted<br />

with his “Techno Dance” ride, which he has successfully<br />

toured throughout the Netherlands for many<br />

years. <strong>The</strong> new owner will continue to tour this ride in<br />

Holland. This year, the “Ultimate” will be presented at,<br />

among other venues, the German fair events in Duisburg-Beeck<br />

and Mettmann. <strong>The</strong> ride has ground<br />

measurements of 14.5 x 11 metres, and a flight height<br />

of 25 metres.<br />

DAS BAGGERSPIEL<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />

At the Maimarkt in Landau, showman Lothar<br />

Honecker from Mutterstadt celebrated the première<br />

of his new attraction “Das Baggerspiel”.<br />

It took the owner, who also installed the lighting with<br />

LED-lamps himself, two months to build the wagon,<br />

boasting a length of 8 metres and a height of 4 metres.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Bohn firm, contracted for the design of the front,<br />

immortalized a bulldozer with a number of coins and<br />

comic-style faces, according to the showman’s<br />

wishes. <strong>The</strong> coin sliding game, still popular despite<br />

having been familiar to fairground visitors for many<br />

decades, remains very much a major feature as the<br />

“Baggerspiel”. All in all, nine “Royal Banker Jubilee”<br />

arcade machines are available. Lothar Honecker<br />

plans to present the Baggerspiel mainly on the fairgrounds<br />

in Rhineland-Palatinate.<br />

MEGA EXTREM<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />

For several months, the young French showman<br />

Maxime Leraitre from Caen has been touring with<br />

the somersault ride “Mega Extrem”.<br />

It is the second swing of the “Inversion” type, built by<br />

the Dutch ride manufacturer KMG, slated to tour<br />

throughout France in the immediate future. <strong>The</strong> first example<br />

was delivered to Norman Bruch, and is successfully<br />

operated under the name of “No Limit”. Having<br />

quickly got used to the technology and the intricacies<br />

of controlling his ride, Leraitre is able to provide his<br />

passengers with varied ride experiences accompanied<br />

by artful announcements over the microphone. In the<br />

evening hours, spotlights and fog complement the<br />

spectacular illumination of the attraction. Too bad that<br />

the name sign has not been equipped with capped<br />

bulbs, thereby making a very gloomy impression after<br />

sundown. This season the “Mega Extrem” will be presented<br />

at, among other venues, Bayeux, Cherbourg,<br />

and St.-Generieve-des-Bois near Paris.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Kiliani Volksfest is back in the première league<br />

of large fairground events. From 5 th to 21 st July,<br />

more than 80 attractions will entice the public to the<br />

Talavera fairground. Last year, the 135,000-resident<br />

city of Würzburg, one of the largest cities in<br />

Bavaria, hit the record-breaking figure of more than<br />

1 million visitors for the first time.<br />

On another note, it is time to say farewell to Mayor Georg Rosenthal, tapping<br />

the keg for the last time this year, and Alexander Hoffmann, who will<br />

run for the German Bundestag this autumn. But first, it is the pleasurable<br />

matter of celebrating the 17-day Kiliani Volksfest!<br />

Heiner Distel (photo), who has held this post ever since the Kiliani Volksfest<br />

1988 will celebrate his 25th anniversary this year. With their dodgem<br />

track, always keeping up with the latest trends, the Distel family has been<br />

among the regular Kiliani participants for some 55 years, and know the<br />

region and its people intimately. This is a welcome occasion to look back<br />

on the last quarter of a century with this interview.<br />

What does a showman spokesman do?<br />

In the beginning, it was a clear-cut task, namely organising a wine<br />

tasting with colleagues, preparing the closing fireworks display on the<br />

last Monday of the event, and the hock meal at the press conference halfway<br />

through the event.<br />

While this is still part of the job today, the main tasks are now maintaining<br />

and enhancing contacts with media representatives, as well as the planning<br />

and realisation of advertising measures. But I don’t complain about<br />

my work.<br />

How did you become a showman spokesman?<br />

Good question. I didn’t offer to do the job; I was recommended for<br />

it, and confirmed in this post at every Kiliani meeting of participating<br />

Who was your predecessor?<br />

Hans Dom, who did a very good job. He held this post for 35 years<br />

and stepped in for the Kiliani showmen’s concerns with a lot of commitment.<br />

It is and remains an honorary post without any payment, and I think<br />

that’s OK.<br />

Michael Hahn is one of the<br />

“supporting pillars” of the<br />

event with his large festival tent<br />

and to show good negotiation skills.<br />

I also got many good tips from my father, Heinz. <strong>The</strong><br />

best advice was never to interfere in admission<br />

processes. Whenever the city administration wanted<br />

to know my opinion on a topic, I told them. This<br />

approach was very successful – looking back today,<br />

it was good for both the post and for me.<br />

How was the Kiliani Volksfest when you took<br />

over the post? How was business?<br />

It was the good old days and the Volksfest was<br />

a classic “self-seller”. Having a Kiliani contract was a<br />

great stroke of luck and a guarantee of good financial<br />

results; not to forget the Americans, who also<br />

contributed to the success.<br />

You also hold this post in Schweinfurt, some<br />

50 km from Würzburg. <strong>The</strong> same issues and<br />

problems?<br />

Many issues are the same – maintaining and increasing<br />

the event’s appeal. But there are also differences,<br />

beginning with the history that goes back<br />

much further in Würzburg and with the Kiliani “roots”,<br />

the religious importance of which can be felt and<br />

experienced to this day.<br />

When and why did the event move to the<br />

Mainwiesen?<br />

This topic required a great deal of patience. <strong>The</strong><br />

Talavera area was not only rebuilt into a huge car park<br />

for the Würzburg state garden show, but the infrastructure<br />

required for a fairground was installed at the<br />

same time. For three years, the fair was held on the<br />

Mainwiesen fairground, very popular with the colleagues,<br />

with its large number of trees and a pleasant<br />

atmosphere.<br />

Two fireworks displays –<br />

for the start and for the finale<br />

are in the programme<br />

It was my task to prevent moving back to the Talavera<br />

fairground. This was impossible and not negotiable for<br />

the Würzburg authorities. <strong>The</strong>y had invested a lot of<br />

money into the Talavera and it was very hard work for<br />

me to convince my colleagues.<br />

You have seen many male and one female Lord<br />

Mayor. Who was the most Volksfest-friendly?<br />

A very difficult question. I consider the Würzburg<br />

veteran, Mayor Adolf Bauer, as an extreme Volksfest<br />

fan. Jürgen Weber did not have any reservations<br />

about the showman industry, Pia Beckmann has<br />

masterfully used Kiliani as a stage, and Georg<br />

Rosenthal has always fulfilled his official duties at<br />

Kiliani – due to his advanced age for the last time this<br />

year.<br />

Why did public popularity of the Kiliani<br />

substantially decrease some 10 years ago?<br />

In retrospect, there are a number of reasons.<br />

Firstly, the withdrawal of the Americans, the large<br />

number of wine festivals in the villages, the Hofgartenfest,<br />

the Weinfest at Stein – and so on.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y all became stronger every year with an increasing<br />

number of visitors and grew steadily. It was no<br />

longer trendy to go to Kiliani. With the large number<br />

of events, turnover increased for some and decreased<br />

for others.<br />

Unfortunately, the Kiliani Volksfest suffered too many<br />

losses in both visitor attendance and turnover. On top<br />

of all this, many participants of many years, oldestablished<br />

enterprises, removed Kiliani from their<br />

tour schedule.<br />

Which measures were taken?<br />

Happy waves during the festival parade from the Lord Mayor<br />

Georg Rosenthal (l.) as well as the festival publican family Carmen<br />

and Peter Müller-Reichart (r.)<br />

<strong>The</strong> strategic move was the engagement of a new, local patron with<br />

a new concept – the Stadl-Wirt. It was planned as a secret project for a<br />

long time and its realisation caused a great furore and dealt Kiliani a new<br />

hand of cards. Today I think it broke up old structures, so that new<br />

dynamics could develop.<br />

Which names were included?<br />

Surprisingly enough, not the name of the Stadl-Wirt, but the name of<br />

the former person responsible from the city authorities, Horst Waibel, as<br />

well as the Müller-Reichart family, shortly before its 50th Kiliani anniversary.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were taken aback by the development, were not able to – in<br />

their own words – “react to them”, and unexpectedly made their withdrawal,<br />

albeit very much to the sounds of drums and trumpets. That was<br />

quite emotional.<br />

Lets’s go on in history with the municipal fairground directors –<br />

with Franz Hohm and Anny Musenbichler…<br />

Two legends, without a doubt. If I remember correctly, Hohm retired<br />

in 1984 and I can very well recall many talks he had with my father. Anny<br />

Musenbichler took over and we worked together for some years. A<br />

woman full of energy and resolute perseverance.<br />

What happened next?<br />

Politics changed and with it also the actors. Horst Waibel came, and<br />

having already been responsible for the Spring Festival for some years,<br />

he also took over responsibility for the Kiliani. He had a mind of his own.<br />

Cooperation was not always easy, and persuading him in discussions<br />

difficult, but his era saw the approval of the Stadl-Wirt and with it the<br />

emergence of new dimensions - without a doubt, his biggest contribution<br />

to Kiliani. <strong>The</strong> event experienced the emergence of new support. All of a<br />

sudden it was trendy again to go to the Volksfest, clad in local costume.<br />

Suddenly, Kiliani was “in” again.<br />

New luck with a new patron?

A few more words on Carmen and Peter Müller-Reichart who I worked<br />

with effectively for a long time. I would be pleased to see both of them<br />

at the Kiliani. Five years have passed since the change, and I hope the<br />

wounds have healed.<br />

As to your question: New patron, new ideas and a new concept. <strong>The</strong><br />

commitment of the Würzburg Hofbräu pays off and Michael Hahn, the<br />

new patron, does a good job. It’s a good combination.<br />

What will happen when Alexander Hoffmann goes into politics<br />

shortly?<br />

Das höchste suspended<br />

Looping Karussell der Welt<br />

As municipal head official he has considerably pushed Kiliani<br />

because it is more than just an administrative job. And with Johann Obermeier<br />

and Mark Laudenbacher, there is a really strong team, such as I<br />

have rarely met before. Our cooperation has always been, and still is,<br />

great fun. Alexander Hoffmann is running for the German Bundestag;<br />

that’s a big loss for Kiliani, but a substantial success for the showman<br />

industry in politics.<br />

Apropos Stadlwirt – what will happen now?<br />

We are talking about the “Almhütte” under the management of<br />

Ehrenfried Müller, well-known in Würzburg. He provides a professional<br />

restaurant with “Distelhäuser Brauerei” as a partner, and will build up an<br />

alpine chalet such as Würzburg has never seen before, featuring a large<br />

glass wall offering a view both to the inside and the outside. I think it’s a<br />

fantastic feature.<br />

Record-breaking visitor numbers 2012 – one million visitors.<br />

A marketing gag?<br />

No – the truth and no estimate by rule of thumb. Kiliani can once<br />

again live up to its former success and is back in the Première League<br />

of large fairgrounds. But there is no time to rest on our laurels.<br />

What about the city’s identification with its event?<br />

I’d say it is stronger and more effective than ever. And that’s mainly<br />

due to the organising city authorities undertaking intensive and professional<br />

advertising campaigns. As I said before, they are putting their heart<br />

and soul into the event.<br />

Who will be tapping the keg next year?<br />

That has not been decided yet - I don’t know. Georg Rosenthal goes<br />

into retirement for reasons of age and I naturally wish for a true Kiliani fan<br />

as successor.<br />

even more. Heinz Fieseler is in charge of finances and I am responsible<br />

for public relations. Again close contact with the organiser, the city of<br />

Würzburg, is very important to plan events and carry them out as efficiently<br />

as possible. In practice, there will be additional huge posters, constituting<br />

an effective advertising medium.<br />

What kind of public comes to Kiliani today?<br />

Problem visitors?<br />

No – not at all. Kiliani has a peaceful, happily<br />

celebrating public. This is clearly proved by the<br />

statistics from the Kiliani police during the last few years.<br />

How is the Würzburg Frühlingsfest?<br />

Which one is the best?<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are three different stories, difficult to<br />

compare – the Spring Festival, Kiliani and the Christmas<br />

Market, with its rustic flamed spiced punch. My commitment<br />

is mainly to the Kiliani Volksfest and the Christmas<br />

Market; there are certainly also many contacts relating<br />

to the large Volksfest here in Lower Franconia.<br />

So-so; it depends on the weather. With the beginning<br />

of the season long before Easter, the showmen have<br />

to cope with snow and freezing temperatures too<br />

often. In 2016, we will have to build up in February so<br />

that a postponement is “on the horizon” and is currently<br />

being discussed.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are three events in Würzburg.<br />

What will Kiliani look like in 2020?<br />

It won’t die – I am convinced! Kiliani has a tradition<br />

which will live on and support the event. This year we<br />

celebrate Kiliani for the 983rd time; that’s a true feat! It<br />

will remain the Würzburg event with the highest turnover<br />

and visitor attendance – if it is organized by people<br />

who love and are committed to further develop it. ■<br />

Düsseldorf (12 th to 21 th July)<br />

So far, business was quite poor for most of the<br />

showmen this season. Snow, low temperatures,<br />

and continuous rain prevented satisfactory<br />

financial results. For approved showmen operations,<br />

the largest fair on the Rhine is one of the<br />

season's top events. Once again, more than 4<br />

million visitors are expected at the Schützen and<br />

Heimatfest (12 th to 21 st July), organised by the St.<br />

Sebastianus Schützenverein Düsseldorf 1316.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fair, with the most beautiful panoramic view in<br />

Germany, built up between the Rhein-Knie-Bridge<br />

and the Oberkassel Bridge, is to set new standards<br />

once again. Fair architect Thomas König, has once<br />

again made a number of changes in the layout of<br />

the fairground, and was able to choose as many as<br />

four novelties from the applications received this<br />

year, including a double presentation, likely to be<br />

subject to intensive discussion. <strong>The</strong> Schützen and<br />

Volksfest event on the Düsseldorf Rheinwiese is<br />

voluntarily organised by the St. Sebastianus Schützenverein<br />

Düsseldorf 1316 every year; quite a<br />

challenge considering the size of the event and the<br />

ensuing tasks. Due to stricter safety regulations,<br />

environment, child, and non-smoker protection, the<br />

Schützenverein has now come to its time and<br />

financial limits. All this can only be accomplished<br />

by the coordinated distribution of the tasks within<br />

the tightly organised Schützenverein. Unlike Volksfest<br />

events organised by full-time city or community<br />

personnel, dealing with nothing else but local fair<br />

events, the Schützen have a full-time job organising<br />

the fair “on the side”. For this reason, one should<br />

not make a lot of fuss about approval contracts<br />

being sent out uncomfortably late. After all, rejections<br />

are sent out early, in order to afford planning<br />

reliability. This year, about 320 showmen were<br />

pleased to receive approval for the largest fair on<br />

the Rhine.<br />

Openings of the Fair and the Schützenfest<br />

<strong>The</strong> opening of the Schützen and Heimatfest will<br />

again comprise two parts. While the fair will be<br />

opened on Friday, the Schützenfest begins on<br />

Saturday. That is not ideal, as the fair and the Schützenfest<br />

belong together, especially at the Rheinwiese<br />

event. Events so closely interlinked should<br />

also be opened together. <strong>The</strong> fair begins at 2 p.m.<br />

on Friday, and the official opening takes place at 4<br />

Four Novelties for Düsseldorf and a<br />

Double Presentation<br />

<strong>The</strong> attractions presented at the Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen<br />

Fair will form an impressive skyline this year.<br />

Let us start our tour of the fairground at the Oberkassel<br />

Bridge, where the “Wildwasserbahn 3”<br />

(Löwenthal) will be retaining its ideal site. Further<br />

along the Radschlägerstraße on the dike side in the<br />

direction of the Rhein-Knie-Bridge, placed directly<br />

adjacent to the dike (outer side) in the order<br />

given, will be the “Kristallpalast” (Sturm), Fellerhoff’s<br />

“Geisterstadt”, Fuhrmann’s Chain Ride and<br />

the “Lach+Freu-Haus” (Distel), as well as the “Spinning<br />

Racer” (Bruch) and the “Rotor” (Pluschies).<br />

With the mega chain ride “Alex Airport” (Goetzke)<br />

clearly visible from afar, the bay behind the<br />

“Schwarzwald-Christel”, not exactly popular with<br />

the showmen, will accommodate a real crowd<br />

puller this time. Fischer’s “Toboggan” will retain its<br />

usual site, the “Selbstfahrer” from Müller presented<br />

once again will now be built up with its side wall in<br />

Radschlägerstraße, and the classic “Looping the<br />

Loop” (von Olnhausen) will follow at the exit of the<br />

bay. In the direction of the southern exit point (taxi<br />

rank under the Rhein-Knie-Bridge) visitors will encounter<br />

Fackler’s go-kart track “Rallye Monte<br />

Carlo”, with the “Bayerischen Schwenkbraterei”<br />

(Uhse) built up facing it on the adjacent new site.<br />

And the landmark of the Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen<br />

Fair the “Bellevue” Ferris Wheel (Bruch) will also be<br />

placed on this site.<br />

<strong>The</strong> “Große Geisterbahn” (Schütze) and the “Wilde<br />

Maus” (Göbel) can be found on Schützenstraße<br />

once again. Back to the starting point of our tour,<br />

the following attractions will be built up in the inner<br />

circle. Holding the top end site, the “Skater” ride<br />

from the Kaiser family will whirl its passengers<br />

(Barth) moving to the former site of the “Show der<br />

Sensationen” on Rheinstraße, and the “Breakdance”<br />

from William Bruch taking its site, the secret<br />

of the double presentation can now be disclosed.<br />

Also approved for the Rheinwiese was the “Breakdance<br />

No. 1” (Kinzler), which will be built up at the<br />

entrance to the coaster bay. Back on Radschlägerstraße,<br />

where “Nessy” (Markmann) will be awaiting<br />

the visitors, the “Diamond” dodgem track from<br />

Hartkopf/Osselmann will retain its usual site. With<br />

the “Flasher” (Ahrend), the first novelty for the Düsseldorf<br />

Rheinwiesen event will also be presented in<br />

this section and significantly change the skyline of<br />

the fair. <strong>The</strong> “Alpenwelt” connecting Radschlägerstraße<br />

and Rheinstraße will be built up with only a<br />

large round stage in the middle and joined by<br />

beverage outlets, gastronomic operations, and<br />

sales booths this year. It will be followed by the<br />

“Amazonas” (Agtsch) appearing on the Rhine for<br />

the second time. Kaiser’s water ride “Rio Rapidos”<br />

will once again be placed in the straightened bay,<br />

however with its side wall facing the street this time.<br />

Directly in front of the Diebels tent, Krameyer’s “Big<br />

Monster” will make its rounds, and the “Raupenbahn”<br />

from Steiger/Buchholz will return to its usual<br />

site in front of the Ferris Wheel. Out of respect for<br />

the complaining residents living in Oberkassel,<br />

Radschlägerstraße will be a rather quieter section<br />

of the largest fair on the Rhine. Further along Rheinstraße<br />

within the inner circle, the “Venezianische<br />

Pferdekarussell” (Langenberg) will hold the corner<br />

site. While the “Mäusecircus” from Lemoine will be<br />

a novelty, the “Schnauferl” (Vespermann/Hartkopf)<br />

and Schäfer’s “Voodoo Jumper” will retain their<br />

usual sites. <strong>The</strong> bay will be towered over by the<br />

novelty “City-Skyliner” (Skyliner GmbH). <strong>The</strong> tower<br />

with a rotating gondola provides visitors with a<br />

beautiful view at a maximum height of 72 metres.<br />

<strong>The</strong> “Golden Greats” dodgem (Kropp) will be available<br />

at the exit of the bay, and behind the entrance<br />

to the Alpenwelt, the “Big Bamboo” (Hempen) will<br />

once again await the visitors. Placed in the inside<br />

area will be the “Power Tower 2” (Schneider), the<br />

aforementioned “Südseewellen”, and the “Skater”<br />

to the rear. Starting at the Schützen-tent on the bank<br />

of the Rhine, visitors will encounter the mega swing<br />

“Konga” (Küchenmeister), the “Breakdance No. 1”<br />

(Kinzler), the “Wellenflug” (Hanstein), and for the<br />

second time the “Olympia-Looping” (Barth). <strong>The</strong><br />

sites of Howey’s “Happy Sailor”, the “Fight Club”<br />

(Häsler/Schultz) and the “Alpina Bahn” (Bruch) will<br />

remain unchanged. Further along, there will be the<br />

“Shake & Roll” (Schäfer), Blume’s “Dämonium”, and<br />

the “Circus Circus” (Bruch/Gründler). Directly in<br />

front of the water ride, visitors will find the fourth<br />

Life at full pace at the<br />

“Larges fair on the Rhine”<br />

novelty for Düsseldorf, the “Krumm & Schief Bau”<br />

from Hartmann.<br />

This list is not exhaustive and subject to changes.<br />

Due to relocations the overall image will be changed<br />

in several fairground sections, with the novelties<br />

“Flasher” and “City Skyliner” being the most significant<br />

changes. <strong>The</strong> strict non-smoker protection<br />

act legally effective since 1st May will also affect the<br />

Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen event, as smoking in the<br />

beer tents is no longer allowed. This decision was<br />

a hard blow for the local breweries, which will now<br />

arrange for smoking terraces in the outdoor areas<br />

of their beer tents. While the Füchschen tent will<br />

maintain its new site, the Bavarian beer garden from<br />

Hölzgen/Traber will now move from the southern<br />

entrance to Radschlägerstraße. <strong>The</strong> absolute highlight<br />

of the Rheinwiesenkirmes is and remains the<br />

fireworks display, which will transform the Düsseldorf<br />

sky into a sea of flames in the evening of 19 th<br />

July. <strong>The</strong> pyrotechnical specialists from the Wuppertal<br />

Nico firm will conjure up the latest effects in<br />

the Düsseldorf night sky. Not only are there no parking<br />

spaces in the immediate vicinity of the fairground,<br />

the Düsseldorf city authorities are also<br />

relentlessly towing away illegally parked cars.<br />

Those coming by car should either park at the<br />

exhibition grounds and take the shuttle bus to the<br />

fairground, or park in one of the parking facilities in<br />

the medieval section of the city on the other Rhine<br />

bank, and take the Rhine ferry.<br />

ANNA<strong>KIRMES</strong> IN DÜREN<br />

Text: Michael Petersen Photo: Heiko Schimanzik<br />

This year from 27 th July to 4 th August, the city in the North Eifel will<br />

proudly celebrate the anniversary “375 years Annakirmes”.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re will be festivities to mark the anniversary of the largest Volksfest<br />

in the region with the programme running from 24 th May to 18 th August.<br />

<strong>The</strong> beginning of the Düren anniversary was heralded by an “Organ Weekend”<br />

(from 24 th to 26 th May), when a host of large fairground organs and<br />

small barrel organs played their music in the Düren city centre to get the<br />

public attuned to anniversary fair beginning on 27 th July.<br />

Moreover, old and rare exhibits from the colourful fairground world have<br />

been presented in the exhibition “Die Kunst der Schausteller – 375 Jahre<br />

Annakirmes” in the Leopold-Hoesch-Museum since 9 th June. Open right<br />

up until 18 th August, the well- worth-seeing exhibition is an impressive documentation<br />

of life on tour and the tradition of the Annakirmes, from market<br />

to high-tech fair event - the festival through the ages. In addition, a historic<br />

fair will be built up in front of the museum from 28 th to 7 th July, with a horse<br />

carousel, show booth, pillar dodgem track, chair-o-plane and an old<br />

nostalgic Ferris Wheel, recalling and bringing back to the present the good<br />

old fairground days. <strong>The</strong> long festival procession with a number of groups<br />

on foot, marching bands, and festival wagons held on 28 th July may well<br />

be another highlight. Up until the time of going to press, the precise route<br />

of the procession had not been fixed. For further information on the Annakirmes<br />

and the generous programme: www.annakirmes.de<br />

<strong>The</strong> fair event evolved from a colourful market around the Annakirche<br />

church, officially documented for the first time in 1638. In 1892, the event<br />

was held on today’s Annakirmes-Platz for the first time, where it went on<br />

to develop successfully over the years. Due to the Second World War, the<br />

fair event did not take place from 1940 to 1946. In 1966, the fairground<br />

was extended to some 50,000 square metres with changed thoroughfares.<br />

For some 375 years now, the fair is the highlight in the city’s event calendar.<br />

Today, the number of people visiting the fairground is ten times the<br />

number of Düren residents within one week. This year’s anniversary fair<br />

will present an imposing skyline. <strong>The</strong> top attraction will be the “City Sky<br />

Liner” (Skyliner GmbH), boasting an incredible height of 81 metres and a<br />

ride height of 72 metres according to the manufacturer! <strong>The</strong> transportable<br />

viewing tower with rotating visitor cabin will proved a magnificent panoramic<br />

view across the Düren region. <strong>The</strong> “Gladiator” from Kriek with a height<br />

of 65 metres will also make a first-time appearance in Düren. Moreover,<br />

Goetzke’s “Rocket” and the giant “Artistico” swing will also take their passengers<br />

up into the sky. <strong>The</strong> selection of towering attractions will end with

the “Europa Rad” (Kipp). This year, as many as three track rides will come<br />

to the banks of the River Rur. With Bruch’s “Alpinabahn”, it was possible<br />

at long last to engage a large family coaster once again. <strong>The</strong> “Wilde Maus”<br />

from Kinzler, and “Willy der Wurm” complete the trio of track rides. <strong>The</strong> funhouse,<br />

ghost ride and show booth sector will be represented by “Schloss<br />

Dracula”, “Aqua Labyrinth” and “Pirates Adventure” this time. Further highly<br />

popular attractions presented will be the “Top Spin” from Bausch, the<br />

“Autoskooter” dodgem track from Loosen and Grass, and the “Rallye<br />

Monte Carlo” Go-Kart Track, along with Schleifer’s “Fahrt ins Paradies”,<br />

which has evolved into an indispensable cult ride at the Annakirmes within<br />

just a couple of years. Further attractions enjoying cult status in Düren<br />

are Markmann’s “Octopussy” and Kinzler’s “Breakdance No. 1”. <strong>The</strong>y will<br />

be joined by the “Beach Party” Musikexpress (Milz) and the Wave-Swinger<br />

(Barth/Eberhard), also highly popular with the Düren public. <strong>The</strong> cornucopia<br />

of attractions presented at the anniversary fair in Düren will end with<br />

the “Flip Fly” Looping Swing from Claus and Eckl’s “Techno- Power”. <strong>The</strong><br />

extensive entertainment contingent will truly live up to the worthy occasion,<br />

even though it may well prove to be too much of a good thing. Naturally,<br />

the additional highlights will be accompanied by the traditional supporting<br />

programme. <strong>The</strong>re are still more than enough fans of the indispensable<br />

Cherry Stone Spitting Competition. On 31 st July and 1 st August, the<br />

older generation will celebrate inside the Anna festival tent, and the Rheinische<br />

Abend on 31 st July will once again be dedicated to the motto<br />

“Carnival in Düren”. On 30 th July, the designated Family Day, considerably<br />

reduced prices will entice the public to the Annakirmes. Two fireworks<br />

displays held on 27 th July and 2 nd August will change the Düren sky into a<br />

sea of flames, resulting in thousands of shouts of “aah and ooh” from the<br />

audience.<br />

GOSLAR<br />

Text & Photos:<br />

Uwe Holzmann<br />

From 28 th June to 7 th July 2013, visitors to the largest Volksfest and<br />

Schützenfest event in the region of the ancient imperial city of Goslar<br />

in the Harz Uplands, will be able to experience a great deal of Schützen<br />

tradition, surges of adrenaline, wind in their hair, and a lot of fun<br />

with friends and families.<br />

<strong>The</strong> traditional Schützen procession, accompanied by music and the<br />

citizen parade of the privilegierten Schützengesellschaft von 1220, proceeding<br />

through the medieval city centre to the fairground and attracting<br />

hundreds of spectators every year, will mark the beginning of the event.<br />

True to the motto "Da kannst du was erleben", or “here it's all fun”, visitors<br />

will enjoy speedy rides, an ample selection of snack booths and beverage<br />

outlets offering delicious fairground classics, as well as the pot and<br />

bric-a-brac market. In addition to classic ride attractions, such as the<br />

“Krake” from Markmann, enjoying cult status in Goslar, visitors will also<br />

find the “Break-Dance No.2” from<br />

Dreher & Vespermann, the highly<br />

popular “Jaguar-Express” from<br />

Ahrend, the dodgem track from<br />

Vorlop, and the romantic Ferris<br />

Wheel from Wilhelm built up in front<br />

of the setting of the Harz Uplands.<br />

Furthermore, visitors will once<br />

again encounter many fast rides<br />

and several novelties, such as the<br />

“Hexentanz” from Markmann - just<br />

right for a Volksfest in the Harz Uplands<br />

due to its theme - and also<br />

the “Berg & Tal-Achterbahn” from<br />

Schneider, fitting perfectly in with<br />

the overall concept of the largest<br />

Uplands in Northern Germany.<br />

Further popular guests in Goslar<br />

are the “Frisbee” (Robrahn),<br />

“Flash” (Weber), “Extrem” (Gebr.<br />

Boos), “Take Off” (Ruppert) and<br />

the unique “Air Gate” ride (Welte).<br />

New this year will be the “Super-<br />

Hopser” from Weihs, certainly providing<br />

the visitors with a lot of fun.<br />

Many attractions from the “fun<br />

sector” will be presented as novelties<br />

for Goslar this year. After a<br />

break of many years, a large Ghost<br />

Ride will once again be presented<br />

on the Osterfeld fairground in the<br />

form of the “Dämonium” from<br />

Blume, which will certainly cause a<br />

great furore and provide a creepy<br />

atmosphere. Moreover, the brand<br />

new “Traumgenerator” (Häsler &<br />

Lemoine), a simulator, the twostorey<br />

adventure Walkthrough<br />

construction "Crazy Outback”<br />

(Hofmann-Jehn) and the new<br />

“Down Town” labyrinth (Lutz Hofmann)<br />

will be available to the<br />

visitors.<br />

Apart from the “Piratenrutsche”<br />

(Meyer), “Poseidon” water ride<br />

(Heitmann-Schneider), and a wellassorted<br />

range of kiddie rides,<br />

such as the novelty “Willy der<br />

Wurm” kiddie coaster (Roos), the<br />

classic “Märchenland-Kinderverkehrsgarten”<br />

(Risse) popular with<br />

all children, and the large Continental<br />

pick stands “Silbermine”<br />

and “Spielhölle Hongkong” (Kellner),<br />

a first class selection of<br />

games booths, shooting galleries,<br />

and pick up trolleys and an ample<br />

choice of beverage outlets with<br />

42


A LOOK FORWARD<br />

“Airgate” from Welte<br />

cosy beer gardens and many a snack and sweets<br />

booth will leave nothing to be desired.<br />

After a break of more than twenty years, visitors to the<br />

Goslar Volksfest and Schützenfest event will once<br />

again be offered a large beer tent. <strong>The</strong> “Bayern Festhalle”<br />

from Traber-Hölzgen will not only present a daily<br />

programme of live bands and party DJs providing lots<br />

of fun and frolics, but also serve rustic specialities. An<br />

ample music programme will round off special events,<br />

such as the “Gentlemen Night”, and invites visitors to<br />

a cosy get-together or company parties. In order to be<br />

able to build up the “Bayern Festhalle”, the Osterfeld<br />

fairground - steeply sloping in the centre - was raised<br />

with gravel to create a new plane. <strong>The</strong> “Sie & Er”<br />

consumer exhibition, usually held in this area, will not<br />

be presented this year.<br />

Every Friday at 11 p.m., the traditional fireworks display<br />

will provide the fairground with a happy atmosphere,<br />

and on Wednesday the Family Day will entice<br />

the public to the fairground with reduced prices. Again<br />

this year, visitors making ample use of the ride attractions<br />

offered as well as families can look forward to a<br />

special event and family card, available in advance,<br />

including considerable reductions for a total of 24 ride<br />

and Funhouse attractions. Another highlight will be a<br />

backstage tour on Monday, organised by the “Schaustellerverband<br />

Harz und Heide”,<br />

that will provide an informative<br />

and exciting look behind<br />

the scenes of the Volksfest.<br />

<strong>The</strong> two-hour tour –<br />

tickets for which are raffled in<br />

the Goslar press – will introduce<br />

different operations and<br />

provide exclusive insights into<br />

the showman industry. ■<br />

PREMIÈRE<br />

Première in Enschede:<br />

“Crash Test” from the<br />

Hendriks/Hinzen firm<br />

<strong>The</strong> Hendriks/Hinzen firm from<br />

Apeldoorn presented its new<br />

“Crash Test” coaster, an alternative<br />

to the large number of<br />

“rotating mice” on the fairgrounds<br />

in Europe, for the first<br />

time at the “Paaskirmes” in<br />

Enschede in late March. <strong>The</strong><br />

coaster had already been announced<br />

for 2012, but the manufacturer<br />

- the French CeDeal<br />

Rides firm from Samois – was<br />

not able to meet the scheduled<br />

completion date.<br />

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />

Crash Test<br />

<strong>The</strong> rotating-mouse attractions are marketed<br />

under the name of “Spinning Coaster Compact”.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are smaller than the “Spinning Coaster<br />

Standard”, already built up in the Netherlands and<br />

without a track on the upper level. According to the<br />

manufacturer, the coaster has ground measurements<br />

of 32 x 19 metres, a height of 11 metres, and<br />

a total track length of 310 metres. For a short time,<br />

passengers are subjected to a maximum g-force of<br />

3 g on the coaster, which is loaded on four vehicles.<br />

Due to its small footprint, the smaller version of the<br />

PREMIÈRE<br />

Six gondolas are<br />

available to guests of all ages<br />

“Spinning Coaster” is an attractive alternative for<br />

Dutch events, often held in city centres. <strong>The</strong> tracks<br />

of the coaster are painted in bright red, the<br />

supports in yellow, and the six gondolas in silver.<br />

Highly appealing is also the name sign, which is<br />

illuminated by LEDs and neon effects. Several<br />

decoration elements that were still missing at the<br />

following venue in Hilversum are to be mounted<br />

before long. <strong>The</strong> overall weight of the coaster<br />

amounts to 70 tons, and the attraction is to be presented<br />

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

Renesse, Rosmalen, Hoorn, Budel, Wijchen, Echt,<br />

and once again in Enschede in late autumn this<br />

year.<br />

at the right address!<br />

Quite a Feat<br />

première. Right: From<br />

“Godzilla’s Monster” to<br />

“Monster Brut” for Oktoberfest<br />

1999 – further Wiesn<br />

appearances followed<br />

In the courtyard, I am welcomed by the first figures<br />

from the former façade. “You can pack them and<br />

take them with you immediately. Just pay at the exit,”<br />

jokes Andreas Kunz, greeting me with a handshake,<br />

firm and energetic. He notices my searching look and<br />

laughs. “No, you won’t find anything out here. That’s<br />

nothing but a car park and storage space. <strong>The</strong> secret<br />

is inside the hall. Come with me,” he says, opening<br />

the door. I go in with unabashed curiosity and I’m<br />

flabbergasted. I hadn’t expected this! <strong>The</strong> three-level<br />

ride is standing in the hall completely built up except<br />

for the front above the top level sporting the future<br />

name sign, due to lack of space. “It’s a tight fit,” quips<br />

the boss, pointing out the advantages of working<br />

independent of the weather.<br />

Andreas Kunz is the owner of the “Geister-Schloss”<br />

ghost ride that he is touring successfully – and he was<br />

anxious to demonstrate his entrepreneurial skills and<br />

take up a new challenge. He had been keen on the<br />

large Fellerhoff ride, the largest and last transport-<br />

Name sign and name of the new attraction<br />

able Ghost ride built by the Mack firm with its imposing<br />

35 metre front. He had wanted to have the monster<br />

for a long time, and had repeatedly negotiated<br />

with Willy Fellerhoff. It had been built up for the last<br />

time at Europa-<strong>Park</strong> from the Mack family on the occasion<br />

of the Halloween-Festival of 2011, together<br />

with the “Erdbeben” and the “Altweibermühle”, both<br />

also under the ownership of the Fellerhoff family. For<br />

some time both before and after that, the ride had not<br />

been in operation, but was parked on a car park<br />

where it was exposed to the weather. Andreas Kunz<br />

<strong>The</strong> effects of the drop<br />

from the upper level remain<br />

and will be renovated<br />

emphasizes that he has come to know Willy Fellerhoff<br />

better during the last few years and has found a true<br />

friend. “It was a good cooperation and I have respect<br />

for the achievements of his family, who used to<br />

dominate the fairgrounds all over Germany and set<br />

standards,” he explains. And he also knows that it is<br />

always difficult for the seller to part with an attraction<br />

owned by the family.<br />

Looking Good Inside and Out<br />

During the snowy winter, the ride was transported to<br />

the Upper Palatinate by truck on 16 trailers or transport<br />

vehicles - “under sometimes challenging circumstances,”<br />

reveals Kunz; and one sees that he is<br />

still happy that everything arrived undamaged. “<strong>The</strong><br />

base structure is solid and the iron is still in good condition.<br />

It is treated and used again. <strong>The</strong> track with<br />

heavy load floor segments as well as the entire<br />

decoration and package, along with all the effects,<br />

are completely renewed. <strong>The</strong> good old Ghost ride has<br />

changed into a modern, futuristic adventure ride. <strong>The</strong><br />

ride will truly be something of an odyssey. “<strong>The</strong>re will<br />

be new lighting effects in the outdoor area, and the<br />

inside of the ride will be certain to make the same<br />

impact as the outside,” says Andreas Kunz, outlining<br />

Redesigning work on the<br />

front is already visible. Thomas<br />

Schmid, who works for<br />

the Kunz firm that manages<br />

press relations, stands beside<br />

the letters to be used<br />

SPECIAL<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s still a long way<br />

to go until the attraction is<br />

finished<br />

his strategy. He points out his cooperation with artists<br />

from the film and television industry, as well as<br />

specialists for sound and light technology involved in<br />

his project. Asked what the venues of the ride will be,<br />

he cautiously answers, “I will certainly not be able to<br />

change the venue every Sunday. It remains to be<br />

seen, and I think that I will present my new attraction<br />

at well-chosen large events.”<br />

Oktoberfest<br />

At this point in time, he had not yet received the<br />

Wiesn contract by mail, and he had had no contact<br />

with the decision makers. However, a couple of days<br />

after we spoke, the perfect surprise was received; the<br />

contract for the Wiesn 2013. Site: Schaustellerstraße<br />

– and thus within the main course of the event.<br />

For the workers this means working at full speed. I<br />

will be certain to return and write about the progress.<br />

After a fascinating visit, another firm handshake from<br />

Andreas and his father Alexander Kunz.<br />

By the way, in current language, the term “Odyssey”<br />

means a long journey reaching its destination only<br />

after77 a number of adventures. It comes from the<br />

epic by the Greek poet Homer, documented for the<br />

first time in the 7 th century BCE.<br />

HANNOVER<br />

Deinert’s “Big Spin”<br />

Text & Photo: Uwe Holzmann<br />

<strong>The</strong> Frühlingsfest on the Hannover Schützenplatz<br />

fairground opened on Easter Saturday, 30 th<br />

March, and up until 21 st April visitors were able<br />

to enjoy a large number of rides, many attractions<br />

popular with both young and old, and a<br />

varied party programme inside the “Festhalle<br />

Ahrend” and the new party tent “Hanno-Hall”.<br />

<strong>The</strong> showman operations built up in Hannover this<br />

spring offered ample entertainment for everybody.<br />

While kiddie rides and the Ferris Wheel, the “Große<br />

Geisterbahn”, “Wellenflug” and a dodgem track represented<br />

traditional entertainment for those revering<br />

the classic programme from their childhood,<br />

visitors seeking speedy rides got their money’s<br />

worth in the “Salto Mortale”, “Commander”, “Big<br />

Spin”, “Nightstyle”, “Break Dance”, “Magic”, and<br />

the “Rock & Roller Coaster”. Moreover, attractions<br />

such as the “Time Factory” and the “Kristallpalast”<br />

provided visitors with both enchantment and bafflement,<br />

and in the “Omni” they experienced sensory<br />

delusion. <strong>The</strong> water ride “Manitus Spuren”, the<br />

“Heiße Räder”, “Petersburger Schlittenfahrt” and<br />

the “Crazy Outback”, which appeared in Hannover<br />

for the first time and offered an adventure in Down<br />

Under, rounded off the selection of attractions –<br />

bringing the joys of spring to the Schützenplatz. As<br />

usual, Wednesdays were the designated Family<br />

Days providing discounts of up to 50 percent on all<br />

ride fares and 25 percent at many other attractions,<br />

as well as free special events such as kiddie makeup<br />

events and Punch and Judy shows. <strong>The</strong> supporting<br />

programme included a “Ladies Day” with<br />

special offers for women on 18 th April, as well as<br />

breath-taking fireworks displays on 5 th , 12 th , and 19 th<br />

April.<br />

Fairground with “Flasher”<br />

Sax’n Anhalt in Wolfsburg<br />

WOLFSBURG<br />

Text & Photos: Uwe Holzmann<br />

430,000 visitors, satisfied showmen, a happy<br />

“Schützen Colonel”; all in all the 13-day 63 rd<br />

Schützen and Volksfest in the Allerpark in the<br />

Volkswagen city of Wolfsburg was highly<br />

successful.<br />

“Not even the cold weather kept the visitors from<br />

enjoying the ride attractions,” said the “Schützen<br />

Colonel”, obviously pleased. Peter Vorlop, the fairground<br />

director who had put together the fairground,<br />

was also satisfied. “It was a harmonious<br />

and safe event, not least due to our own security<br />

personnel”. However, the police are discussing a<br />

new security concept as there were several days<br />

(V.F.L. football match and demonstrations in May)<br />

when they were short of manpower. “Most of the<br />

showmen achieved good business results in Allerpark,<br />

and there was an unusually high number of<br />

visitors who came to the fairground a number of<br />

times,” Vorlop added. “All in all, the weather was<br />

fine - only the temperatures could have been a little<br />

higher. While ice cream booths did not fare too well,<br />

sweets and roasted almond booths benefited from<br />

the weather”.<br />

Moreover, the backstage tour organised by Matthias<br />

Ters (Ters-Media Bremen/www.platzradio.com)<br />

offered in Wolfsburg for the first time, was very<br />

successful. <strong>The</strong> interesting tour provided a look<br />

behind the scenes of the Ferris Wheel from Wilhelm,<br />

the “Haunted Mansion” from Hinzen, “Black Hole”<br />

from Schierenbeck, “Break Dance” from Welte, and<br />

50


the “Jaguar-Express” from Konny Ahrend, and<br />

finished off at the roasted almonds booth, where<br />

Markus Meier not only demonstrated and skilfully<br />

explained the manual roasting of almonds, but also<br />

presented the participants with a sample of his<br />

freshly roasted product.<br />

Another special and successful highlight could be<br />

experienced on the fairground on Ascension Day<br />

(Father's Day). <strong>The</strong> showmen from the Braunschweig<br />

“Schaustellerverbandes Harz und Heide”<br />

(Showman Association Harz Uplands and Lüneburg<br />

Heath) had spontaneously engaged the<br />

fantastic show band “Sax'n Anhalt” from Magdeburg,<br />

which presented its music show at various<br />

attractions and provided a superb atmosphere on<br />

the fairground.<br />

<strong>The</strong> crowds repeatedly forming wherever the show<br />

band played may well have made effective 'wordof-mouth'<br />

advertising.<br />

GELDERN<br />

Text & Photo: Michael Petersen<br />

From 18 th to 21 st May, Geldern once again wished its<br />

guests “Vööl Glöcks in de Kermes!”, or “A happy<br />

fair event!” in the colourful regional dialect. For the<br />

Pentecost Fair, more than 160 showmen had built<br />

up their attractions along the Ostwall stretches of<br />

historic fortification and a small part of the Nordwall.<br />

<strong>The</strong> traditional fair is one of the top events in<br />

North-Rhine Westphalia. <strong>The</strong> attractive fair mile<br />

once again offered many new features and a<br />

successful layout without any major drawbacks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> new schematic plan of the posters and flyers for<br />

the Pentecost Fair needed some getting used to<br />

though. Dominated by black, the new poster makes<br />

quite a sinister impression. While there are certainly<br />

more favourable colours for a Volksfest poster, it showed<br />

at least the classic fairground motifs, a Ferris Wheel,<br />

a chain ride, and a roller coaster. <strong>The</strong> poster was not<br />

only dominated by the Geldern skyline but also by the<br />

photo of a fireworks display. Moreover it gave the most<br />

important information about the duration of the event as<br />

well as its opening with a happy hour. <strong>The</strong> beginning of<br />

the Geldern Pentecost Fair was heralded on Saturday<br />

at 2 p.m. by the procession of marching bands, and<br />

half an hour later, the event was opened by the Mayor.<br />

In addition to the highly coveted free drinks, visitors<br />

made ample resort to reduced fares, slashed by up to<br />

a half during the Happy Hour. What happened in Geldern<br />

during those 30 minutes was just incredible. Long<br />

queues formed in front of all ride attractions and large<br />

quantities of ride chips were bought, with adolescents<br />

very cleverly dividing into groups, thus getting hold of<br />

cheap ride chips for all ride attractions. Ride attractions<br />

with a large seating capacity may easily cope with this<br />

scheme, for others it meant a substantial reduction in<br />

turnover. After all, the fares were once again considerably<br />

reduced from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the last opening<br />

day. Maybe it would be wise to reconsider the happy<br />

hour in its current form. This year, the largest street fair<br />

event in the Lower Rhine region scored well with a harmonious<br />

occupancy. <strong>The</strong> rides on offer were familyfriendly<br />

and spectacular. That is precisely the strength<br />

of the Geldern Pentecost Fair, offering a new overall<br />

image every year without waiving successful and<br />

popular attractions. While the regular attractions at the<br />

event included the “Highway No.1” dodgem track<br />

(Schneider), Eul’s “Rock Express”, and the “Breakdance”<br />

from Dreher / Vespermann, the “Roue Parisienne”<br />

Ferris Wheel (Burghard/Kleuser) once again made<br />

its rounds in Geldern according to a regular rotation<br />

plan. With the “Air Crash” (Wingender) and the<br />

“XXL” Swing (Denies/Kipp), another two highlights<br />

visible from afar were built up on the Geldern Ostwall.<br />

While Fischer’s “Toboggan”, allocated a quite<br />

unfavourable site next to the XXL Swing, provided<br />

a lot of fun and ebullient glee, Barth’s “Südseewellen”<br />

and Zinnecker’s “Tornado” offered further<br />

ride power. With the “Piraten-Fluss” (Heitmann/<br />

Schneider) it was possible to engage an attractive<br />

water ride once again, and two Funhouse constructions<br />

rounded off the cornucopia of ride<br />

attractions. Moreover, the large “Irrgarten” (Rasch)<br />

and the “Ghost” adventure construction invited the<br />

public to a lot of fun and amusing diversion. Why<br />

several showmen in the concession stall section<br />

were relocated from their traditional sites, may well<br />

remain the secret of the organiser. <strong>The</strong> all in all very<br />

successful Pentecost Fair, which remained untouched<br />

by the forecast downpours, was closed by<br />

a magnificent fireworks display.<br />

Every year in early May and in early September<br />

two fair events are held in Emsdetten. Both<br />

events are organised by the Emsdetten city<br />

authorities, under the management of fairground<br />

director Helmut Frede and his deputy<br />

Franz-Josef Beuntker.<br />

From a large number of applications, some 100<br />

showman operations were chosen for this year’s<br />

May fair, held in the city centre from 3 rd to 5 th May.<br />

Moreover, the fairground director successfully<br />

coped with three cancellations received shortly<br />

before the opening of the event. Built up on the car<br />

park at the fire station were the Ghost Ride “Halloween”<br />

(Rasch), the Miami “Cool-Fresh” (Jörgling),<br />

and the chain ride from Derleh, built in 1934. <strong>The</strong><br />

sites in Buckhoffstraße were occupied by the<br />

“Racing Cars” dodgem track from Tovar, Markmann’s<br />

“Hexentanz”, the kiddie track ride “Truck-<br />

Stop” (Hirsch), and a Jet Ride (Stippich). Moreover,<br />

younger visitors were able to enjoy Arling’s nostalgic<br />

Hennecke kiddie carousel from 1937 in Schulstraße,<br />

as well as the fairytale carousel from Wegener,<br />

Tovar’s kiddie ride, the “Night Style”<br />

(Armbrecht) and Freiwald’s Twister were appealingly<br />

placed in Frauenstraße. Presented at Brink<br />

was the “Salto Mortale” (Langenberg & Gusowski),<br />

and at Katthagen visitors encountered the kiddie<br />

dodgem track “Little-Fantasy-Drive” (Wegener)<br />

and the bungee-trampoline from Borghoff. Moreover,<br />

Rathausplatz accommodated the dodgem<br />

track “Formel 1” (Heitmann), the “Disco-Jet” (Heitmann),<br />

the “Remmi Demmi” action house (Janßen),<br />

and the “Littel-Phantasie-Cars” kiddie ride (Wegener).<br />

Numerous sweets and snack booths provided<br />

the visitors with food and drinks, and a number of<br />

games and sales booths rounded off the selection<br />

on offer. <strong>The</strong> opening of the fair by Mayor Georg<br />

Moenikes and Philipp Heitmann, deputy chairman<br />

of the Münsterland Showman Association at the<br />

“Disco Jet” on Friday afternoon was followed by the<br />

traditional stroll across the fairground, and in the<br />

evening a fireworks display was held on the Deitmar<br />

property.<br />

At the showman meeting held on the Thursday evening,<br />

the fairground director was honoured for 27<br />

years in office. When he goes into his well-deserved<br />

retirement early next year, he will be succeeded<br />

by Franz-Josef Beuntker.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Krüßingkirmes, held in the Warendorf district<br />

of Freckenhorst from 4 th to 6 th May, is organized by<br />

the Warendorf city authorities and the fairground<br />

director duo Tim Sawukaytis and Martin Bieckmann,<br />

supported by the Freckenhorst Arbeitskreis<br />

Tourismus und Kultur (Working Group for Tourism<br />

and Culture) in organizing, among other aspects,<br />

the supporting programme.<br />

This year, Feldmann’s Caterpillar Ride (owner: Dirk<br />

Lotte) was built up on the Stiftsmarkt fairground. Younger<br />

visitors were able to enjoy a kiddie ride, the “Flying<br />

Toys” Jet Ride, a pony ride, and a snack booth, as well<br />

as a beverage stall, a concession stall, a shooting<br />

gallery, 'slush puppy' ices and sweets rounding off the<br />

entertainment contingent. <strong>The</strong> fair was opened by deputy<br />

mayor, Doris Kaiseran at the Caterpillar Ride. For<br />

younger visitors a balloon race was held, which was followed<br />

by free rides on the fairground attractions for a<br />

quarter of an hour, and the guests of honour insisted on<br />

making a round on the Caterpillar themselves. In sunny<br />

weather on the Sunday morning a procession was held,<br />

with an impressive number of participants. Around midday,<br />

the art market opened with 27 exhibitors, and the<br />

Freckenhorst choir gave a concert in the Stiftskirche in<br />

the afternoon. <strong>The</strong> Arbeitskreis Tourismus und Kultur<br />

presented a Continental pick stand, as well as selling<br />

the Krüßing pin, which has been issued with annually<br />

changing motifs since 2011. <strong>The</strong> Krüßingkirmes closed<br />

with the designated Family Day on Monday. ■<br />

In der viertgrößten Stadt der Niederlausitz – im Sü<br />

Text & Photos: Rolf Orschel<br />

In the fourth largest city in the region of Lower<br />

Lusatia, falling within the state of Brandenburg,<br />

the traditional Frühlingskirmes, organised for<br />

many years by the Chairman of the Lower Lusatia<br />

Forst Showman Association, showman Henry<br />

Probst, was held on limited space from 19 th to 22 nd<br />

April.<br />

<strong>The</strong> fair was almost cancelled, as the authorities had<br />

sold half of the site at Briesker Straße, used as a fairground<br />

for five years, to an investor four weeks before<br />

the event. It was only due to the energetic cooperation<br />

between the organiser and the participating showman<br />

that the spring festival could be held, even if it was<br />

much smaller than planned. As hardly half of the fairground<br />

was available, Henry Probst had to reject a<br />

number of showmen and look for suitable replacement<br />

rides in the surrounding region. However, he was<br />

not altogether successful, as most of the showmen<br />

had already been contracted for other events at the<br />

time. On the Monday of the week of build up, the showmen<br />

were in for yet another unpleasant surprise. Due<br />

to construction work on the part of the site that had<br />

been sold, the excavated soil had been stored temporarily<br />

on the fairground. As the soil was removed only<br />

after the Mayor had exercised his authority, the showman<br />

transports up until then had to be parked in<br />

Briesker Straße for a considerable time, a busy access<br />

road to the Autobahn, thus causing total chaos on the<br />

street.<br />

Henry Probst felt frustrated. Even though he has<br />

organised the Senftenberg Volksfest for many years<br />

and had to make repeated moves to other sites, he<br />

had never experienced anything like that before.<br />

Nevertheless, he succeeded in putting together a<br />

consistently family-friendly selection of attractions<br />

and laying out a quite appealing little fairground. <strong>The</strong><br />

poster advertising, which served also as signposts to<br />

the Senftenberg Frühlingskirmes, was excellent.<br />

Immediately upon exiting the Autobahn, conspicuously<br />

designed and colourful posters were<br />

perfectly deployed, showing visitors the way to the<br />

fairground in Briesker Straße.<br />

In its entrance area, visitors encountered Andrich’s<br />

small “Crazy Train” Switchback and the nostalgic<br />

Ferris Wheel from Danke. Further attractions presented<br />

were the Twister from Sperlich, Krämer’s dodgem<br />

track, as well as the Simulator from Sperlich and Hamberger’s<br />

“Fantastic World” from the show and funhouse<br />

sector. Younger visitors were able to enjoy the<br />

small horse carousel. Two Continental pick stands,<br />

shooting galleries, ball and dart throwing booths, as<br />

well a hook-a-duck invited the public to try their luck<br />

and marksmanship. Moreover, a snack and sweets<br />

booth and a beverage outlet provided visitors with<br />

food and drinks.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Pfingstmarkt in Germersheim was held on the<br />

<strong>The</strong> town authorities were able to choose about 30 showman<br />

operations. Visitors were able to enjoy, among other<br />

attractions, “Olympia Express” Switchback, “Fantasy<br />

Polyp”, “Jumper”, Dodgem Track and the Walkthrough<br />

construction “Crazy Town”. In addition to several kiddie<br />

rides and games booths, Barth’s large snack booth with<br />

a cosy beer garden invited the visitors to enjoy. Apart<br />

from the opening ceremony, a Bengali Whitsun fireworks<br />

display accompanied by music, and the Family Day on<br />

Tuesday, ranked among the highlights of the event. Due<br />

to changing weather conditions during Pentecost, a<br />

number of showmen suffered losses in turnover. ■<br />

<strong>The</strong> 6-day Fohlenmarkt in the<br />

second largest town in the<br />

Rhine-Neckar district always<br />

begins one day before Ascension<br />

Day; this year from 8 th to<br />

13 th May. With the 100 th edition<br />

of the market, a milestone<br />

anniversary was celebrated.<br />

<strong>The</strong> origins of the Fohlenmarkt,<br />

or “foal market” – once an important market for carthorses<br />

– date back to the year 1902, when the event<br />

lasted five days and was the most traditional Volksfest<br />

event in the Kraichgau region between Mannheim<br />

and Heilbronn.<br />

his Walkthrough construction “Amazonas”, which<br />

perfectly harmonised with the coaster. Another<br />

looping attraction engaged, the Propeller “Extrem”<br />

from Boos, was effectively placed in the centre of<br />

the fairground. While the “Fantasy-Polyp” from<br />

Landgrebe, the Swing Boat from Trost, the dodgem<br />

track from Lowinger, and the “Rutsche” slide from<br />

Göbel were built up for the general public, younger<br />

visitors were able to enjoy a kiddie track ride, a<br />

compressed air ride, a bungee-trampoline and a<br />

kiddie ride. <strong>The</strong> 99 th Fohlenmarkt closed with a Family<br />

Day and a colourful fireworks display, and preparations<br />

for the 100 th anniversary, being held from<br />

25 th May to 2 nd June 2014, have already begun. ■<br />

“Cobra” after many years<br />

Today’s event is a heady mixture of a horse and<br />

bric-a-brac market, an open shopping Sunday and<br />

a large fairground, always attracting many<br />

thousands of visitors from near and far. This year,<br />

the organising Lowinger firm from Wiesloch once<br />

again succeeded in putting together an attractive<br />

fairground at the Elzenshalle, as well as contracting<br />

a looping coaster, the “Cobra”, after a break of<br />

many years. <strong>The</strong> coaster was effectively advertised<br />

as a novelty attraction. Angelo Agtsch, who took<br />

over the looping ride only recently, also presented<br />

STUTTGART<br />

Text & Photos:<br />

Norman Vogt<br />

After three weeks, the anniversary spring festival<br />

in Stuttgart (20 th April to 12 th May) closed with a<br />

spectacular fireworks display. According to the<br />

organiser, in Stuttgart, 1.2 million visitors were<br />

attracted to the 75 th Spring Festival in the capital<br />

of Baden-Württemberg.<br />

“This was a good result, considering the adverse<br />

weather conditions, with spring being wet and really<br />

at its worst,” said Andreas Kroll, General Manager<br />

of in.Stuttgart. With more than 100,000 guests,<br />

1 st May was the day with the highest visitor attendance.<br />

Too bad that mainly the weekends suffered<br />

from the cold, wet weather, whereas business was<br />

much better during the week. At the end of this<br />

year’s anniversary event, it was mainly the beer tent<br />

patrons who were satisfied with their results. Despite<br />

the poor weather they did not have to worry about<br />

empty seats. Throughout the event, the tents were<br />

either “quite crowded” or “full to bursting point”, or<br />

having to be closed early “due to overcrowding” on<br />

peak days. <strong>The</strong> situation was much more difficult for<br />

operators of ride attractions, who did not fare too<br />

well. <strong>The</strong>ir financial results are continually declining,<br />

no matter what the weather is like. <strong>The</strong>y repeatedly<br />

talked of “being only add-ons for the beer tents”.<br />

Sometimes, the showmen were completely baffled<br />

by the allocation of sites in the large circuit course<br />

as well. Three similar types of Walkthrough constructions<br />

being placed at a distance of only a<br />

couple of hundred metres, for example, were particularly<br />

annoying for the owners. Negatively noticeable<br />

was also the well-known problem of bingedrinking.<br />

Even in the early afternoon the first, mostly<br />

adolescent “drunken bodies” were taken to<br />

hospital by ambulance, and not only at the weekends.<br />

Among the attractions offered on the fairground,<br />

was the “<strong>The</strong> King” from Andreas Zinnecker, which<br />

was very well attended after sundown due not least<br />

to its opulent lighting, yet was a veritable eye catcher<br />

even without this striking feature, and gave new<br />

stimulus. Moreover, the “Big Bamboo” Walkthrough<br />

construction from Hempen was a highly varied alternative<br />

to the other, mostly well-known Funhouse<br />

constructions. As a third novelty, it was possible to<br />

engage Hartmann’s “Krumm & Schief Bau”. Those<br />

three joined some 240 showman operations, publicans<br />

and marketers. <strong>The</strong> colourful mixture of attractions<br />

from the ride and<br />

fun sector left nothing to<br />

be desired.<br />

A new feature on the<br />

occasion of the anniversary<br />

was the “Historischer<br />

Wasen”, which<br />

gave free insight into the<br />

history of events in<br />

Stuttgart.<br />

Text & Photo: Rolf Orschel<br />

Due to continuous rain and low temperatures<br />

afflicting almost all the peak days, the largest<br />

Spring Festival in East Thuringia (20 th April to 5 th<br />

May) suffered severely from decreased visitor<br />

numbers. <strong>The</strong> only ray of hope was 1 st May, when<br />

eventually visitors virtually besieged the fairground<br />

in dry and mild weather during the afternoon.<br />

However, throughout the remaining duration<br />

of the event, the showmen's expectations for a<br />

better course of business were not met.<br />

For a couple of years, the Gera Volksfest events have<br />

been organised and held by the municipal culture<br />

and event management authority, together with the<br />

city’s Volksfest advisory council. On the centrally<br />

located Hofwiesenpark fairground some 30 showmen<br />

provided the visitors with ride and Funhouse<br />

attractions, a varied assortment of concession stalls,<br />

and cosy beer gardens. <strong>The</strong> two-level Ghost Ride<br />

“Tanz der Vampire” from Nitzsche, which provided a<br />

family-friendly creepy atmosphere with ghosts and<br />

vampires, was presented as a novelty for Gera this<br />

year. After a break of eight years, Schieck’s “Europa<br />

Rad”, visible from any distance, offered visitors a<br />

magnificent view over Gera once again, and the<br />

“Crazy Mouse” from Janßen also returned to Gera<br />

after a long absence. Further attractions presented<br />

were the Musik Express from Baier, Hentrich’s Breakdance,<br />

the “Flying Circus” chain ride (Kirchner), the<br />

dodgem track from Krebs, and Magerstedt’s “Happy<br />

Butterfly” Switchback. <strong>The</strong> younger visitors enjoyed<br />

the "Super-8" kiddie track ride from Malfertheiner,<br />

Kirchner’s “Märchenbahn”, and the Jet Ride from<br />

Bang. Moreover, a number of traditional concession<br />

stalls, such as Continental pick stands, shooting<br />

galleries and ball throwing booths invited the public<br />

to try their luck and marksmanship, and several<br />

snack and confectionery booths and beverage outlets<br />

spread across the half-kilometre circuit course<br />

provided the visitors with an ample variety of food and<br />

drinks.<br />

From 2 p.m. on 20 th April, the opening day of the<br />

Spring Festival, all ride attractions could be tried out<br />

at half the price for thirty minutes, before the event<br />

was officially opened at 4 p.m. by the Gera Mayor, Dr.<br />

Viola Hahn, tapping the keg. Wednesdays were the<br />

designated Family Days with reduced prices, and on<br />

29 th April the showmen invited 20 children from the<br />

Gera Heimbetriebsgesellschaft to a free two-hour<br />

visit to the fairground. Moreover, as a way of saying<br />

thank you, the showmen and the organiser held a fireworks<br />

display directly adjacent to the fairground on<br />

3 rd May at around 9.30 p.m. ■<br />

ROSTOCK<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rostock Pfingstmarkt has been held for more<br />

than 600 years and is the oldest Volksfest event in<br />

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. At this year’s<br />

event, celebrated from 17 th to 20 th May, visitors were<br />

offered a small but pleasant Whitsun Market with<br />

fair attractions for all age groups on the fairground<br />

in the city harbour district.<br />

<strong>The</strong> origin of the market goes back to an eight-day<br />

trade fair in 1390 beginning on Whit Sunday which,<br />

after the decline of the Hanseatic League, gradually<br />

changed into a Volksfest event held on the market<br />

square on the banks of the River Warnow. Ever since<br />

the 1930s, large rides and a roller coaster have been<br />

fixtures of the market held on the fairground at the city<br />

harbour. After the construction of the border between<br />

the “two Germanys”, the traditional Volksfest event had<br />

to move from this fairground to other free sites throughout<br />

the city, as the city harbour was located in the border<br />

area 'hermetically sealed off' by the “Iron Curtain”.<br />

Over the years, the Whitsun Market established itself<br />

on the fairground at the Fischerbastion where, among<br />

other attractions, the “Wiener Sport Rad” (Taube), “Tropical<br />

Jet” Matterhorn (Plaenert), and the Waltzer ride<br />

(Holtz) attracted visitors in droves up until 1989. In the<br />

early 1990s, when the Großmarkt GmbH Rostock took<br />

56


over the organisation of the Whitsun Market, and the<br />

city harbour was once again available as a fairground,<br />

a new chapter was written in the history of this Volksfest<br />

event. Due to the positive cooperation with the Rostock<br />

Showman Association, the quality of the Whitsun<br />

Market abruptly changed, and for a number of years<br />

visitors were able to enjoy as many as 15 large ride and<br />

Funhouse attractions on the 20,000-square metre fairground.<br />

This event is located directly on the banks of<br />

the River Warnow and in front of the magnificent setting<br />

of the residential buildings and storehouses from the<br />

Late Baroque period in the northern part of the medieval<br />

city centre. In the last few years, the number of<br />

large attractions steadily decreased, and with only<br />

three large rides being presented, the occupancy in<br />

2012 left much to be desired. Due a larger number of<br />

attractions being engaged for this year’s event and a<br />

substantially improved layout of the market area, this<br />

year’s fairground made a much more appealing<br />

impression than during the last few years. This time the<br />

stage, not missed by anybody anyway, was replaced<br />

by the “Hanse Rad” from Geisler, which made an appealing<br />

impression and was visible from any distance.<br />

Further attractions presented were Fehlauer’s “Breakdance”,<br />

the “Hot Wheels” dodgem track from Welter,<br />

the “Berliner Rutsche” slide (Bungardt), the “Fantastic<br />

World” Funhouse from Hamberger, and the “Time Visitor”<br />

simulator from Walkhoefer. Younger visitors enjoyed<br />

the “Samba Dance” and the “Kindertraum” Kiddie<br />

Carousel, as well as a Jet Ride. In the gastronomic sector,<br />

snack and confectionery booths, as well as beverage<br />

outlets, provided the visitors with food and drinks.■<br />

Every year in late April (this time from 26 th April<br />

to 6 th May), the traditional May Fair is held in the<br />

city of Genk in the Limburg province, located only<br />

a couple of kilometres from the German-Belgian<br />

border.<br />

This year it was possible to engage more than 100<br />

attractions. Due to new buildings along the festival<br />

mile and several construction sites, the layout of the<br />

fairground had to be changed, such as relocating<br />

some of the sites for the large attractions to the rear.<br />

As an unexpectedly positive effect was that the<br />

number of top-end sites had increased.<br />

Two novelties made their Genk début, namely the<br />

“Wild Mouse 2” from Bufkens/Florens and the<br />

“Extasy” (a Flipper) from Stappers/Zeppieri. Both<br />

constructions were highly popular especially after<br />

dusk, when they were fully occupied. Noticeable at<br />

ride attractions in Belgium and in neighbouring<br />

France is the fact that fire displays, controlled by the<br />

operator, are additional eye catchers after sundown.<br />

Lit at full blast, the fireballs, burning only a couple of<br />

seconds become a fantastic effect for the visitors.<br />

Further ride attractions presented were a “Shaker”,<br />

“New Crazy Dance” (Breakdance built in Italy),<br />

“Movie Star” (Switchback), “Canyon” (Family<br />

Coaster), Toboggan, “Polyp”, “Extreme” (Miami),<br />

Dodgem Track, “Coco Bongo” (Streetfighter), “Drop<br />

Zone” (Top Scan), as well as the “G-Force” (Booster).<br />

Moreover, the “Spukschloss” Walkthrough construction<br />

and the “Nightmare” Ghost Ride, now touring<br />

throughout Belgium, provided a creepy atmosphere.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were joined by two Funhouse constructions,<br />

the “One Man Show” and the “Real Mirror<br />

Town”. On 1st May, the event was very well attended,<br />

at times leaving barely any room to move on the fairground,<br />

nor any free seats in the beer gardens and<br />

at the snack booths. With piles of rubbish forming<br />

due to refuse bins not being emptied and waste not<br />

being removed from the tables, several snack<br />

booths made a somewhat grim impression in the<br />

evening.<br />

PARIS<br />

Interesting major rides<br />

“Moonraker” –<br />

a “Galactica” as novelty<br />

Text & Photos: Ton Koppei<br />

<strong>The</strong> Foire du Trône numbers among the largest<br />

and most beautiful Volksfest events in Europe,<br />

and at the same time is an important showcase<br />

for the French showman industry. <strong>The</strong> event with<br />

a very long tradition has been held in Bois de<br />

Vincennes since 1964. This year, the eight-week<br />

Foire du Trône, which attracts up to 5 million<br />

visitors to the idyllic fairground located in a<br />

beautiful park every year, was held from 26 th<br />

March to 26 th May.<br />

For some years now, two tall Ferris Wheels have<br />

been built up in the large area, curiously enough<br />

placed fairly close to each other. After the local<br />

Campion firm presented its brand new Mondial<br />

Ferris Wheel with closed gondolas some years ago,<br />

the showman Vatonne built up the former German<br />

“Royal Bavarian Wheel” with open gondolas as the<br />

second Ferris Wheel in Paris for the first time this<br />

year. Every year, the latest attractions from wellknown<br />

European ride manufacturers are presented<br />

at the Foire du Trône, and there has once again been<br />

an ample selection of attractive ride and funhouse<br />

constructions in 2013. Particularly noticeable was<br />

the large number of Mondial attractions; the "Roue<br />

de Paris", "Insider", "Extreme"," PowerMaxx", and the<br />

giant “Maxximum” catapult, all of them come from<br />

the north of the Netherlands. In addition to the aforementioned<br />

Ferris Wheels, the “Countdown” Tower<br />

from the Fleur family as well as the “Fly Man” from<br />

Campion also took their passengers up into the sky.<br />

Another strange, tall construction was the Giant<br />

Swing “Maxx”. Similar to a bungee construction, the<br />

construction built in Italy provides a completely<br />

different swinging movement with over-the-top<br />

rotations of the gondola. For years, the coaster<br />

“King” from the Vancraeyenest family, which is<br />

considered the largest travelling attraction in<br />

France, has been a fixture at the Foire du Trône.<br />

Further coasters presented were the “Crazy Mouse”<br />

from Degouset, a Schwarzkopf “JetStar”, the huge<br />

“Banzai”, and the classic coaster from the Lapere<br />

family, along with the usual two water rides. No<br />

longer available was the Huss "Enterprise", its<br />

former site being taken by the “Pirat”, another<br />

classic ride built in Germany. Another Huss<br />

construction presented in Paris was the “Mega<br />

Dancer”, which used to be domiciled in Germany.<br />

Paris offers an ample selection of ride attractions for<br />

everybody. While “Satan Salsa”, “Moonraker”,<br />

Ejection Seat, “Booster Maxx” the Tagada and the<br />

“Free Dance” and “Fly Zone” swings provided<br />

visitors with speedy rides, attractions such as Wave-<br />

Swinger, Happy Sailor, Caterpillar Ride, Giant Slide,<br />

58


and Sauterelle were intended for the more general<br />

public. A number of rides, somewhat unfavourably<br />

placed or faced with strong competition from a<br />

similar constructions built up in close proximity,<br />

effectively enticed the public with reduced fare<br />

prices.<br />

<strong>The</strong> French funhouse sector is currently, without<br />

doubt, dedicated to the motto “tall, taller, the tallest”.<br />

Constructions with four levels and built on two<br />

centre trailers, such as the “Palais du Rire” from the<br />

Coemelck family, are no exception. This time, four<br />

large funhouses were presented in Paris. Ghost<br />

rides are also very popular at the Foire du Trône and<br />

almost all of them are operated by the Camors<br />

family. In the end, the première of a brand new ride<br />

from Italy did not work out and was postponed until<br />

the summer. In addition to several classic simulators,<br />

visitors also encountered two modern 5D<br />

cinemas.<br />

<strong>The</strong> games sector was not only represented by a<br />

relatively large number of pick up trolleys, but also<br />

by numerous examples of “Barbercut” type silhouette<br />

games, as well as the Italian “Hoopla” game,<br />

with the artful announcements over the microphones<br />

at several arcade machines and the direct contact<br />

with the players certainly being a striking feature.<br />

Show booths have almost completely disappeared<br />

from the Foire du Trône. While the occasional Wall of<br />

Death or freak show could be encountered in the<br />

rear section of the event up until a couple of years<br />

ago, this year’s offering in the show booth contingent<br />

was restricted to the “Amazonia” reptile show. ■<br />

Every year at Pentecost, the traditional “Foire de<br />

Pentecote” is held in this town in eastern France,<br />

only a couple of kilometres from the German<br />

border and the neighbouring region of Pfalz am<br />

Weintor beyond.<br />

<strong>The</strong>refore, it is not surprising that the little Alsatian town<br />

with almost 7,800 residents is virtually “German” at the<br />

Pentecost weekend. Given this, Wissembourg presents<br />

itself at its most distinctive character, and the<br />

shops, cafés, creperies, and restaurants are well<br />

stocked with regional specialities, most notably with<br />

the supremely palatable “Flammkuchen” tarte flambé<br />

offered in numerous variations. <strong>The</strong> fairground held in<br />

the pedestrian precinct, accommodating a number of<br />

attractions, also benefits significantly from the masses<br />

of guests from Germany. In addition to several regular<br />

participants, the organiser tries to present at least one<br />

novelty attraction every year. This year it was Maxime<br />

Leraitre’s “Mega Extrem”, and it did not disappoint as<br />

it whirled its passengers through the skies. <strong>The</strong> ride<br />

was particularly popular with adolescent visitors. After<br />

a break of several years, the “Raupenbahn” was built<br />

up once again, placed next to the regularly returning<br />

“King Monster”. Also presented once again in a new<br />

design of happy colours was the Walkthrough construction<br />

“Brasil”. A dodgem track, a number of kiddie<br />

rides, Walking Waterballs and kiddie track rides rounded<br />

of the contingent of fairground attractions. ■

<strong>The</strong> largest travelling<br />

Fun House on the British<br />

Isles<br />

Waltzer, Dodgems, Miami, Twist<br />

– four essential ingredients of almost<br />

any British fair. But there's<br />

at least one more major attraction<br />

that features at most events:<br />

the Fun House. Since last<br />

summer a particularly large construction<br />

has been touring the<br />

north of England.<br />

Jungle Fun House<br />

In actual fact, even on an average-sized fair in<br />

Great Britain, it's not uncommon these days to<br />

see two or three Fun Houses. Often built by<br />

showmen in their own yards, most of these are<br />

lorry or trailer-mounted constructions designed<br />

to fit onto the standard 12.5m “side show” position.<br />

It was Willie Wilson with his Rio Madness (long<br />

since sold) who is widely credited with introducing<br />

the multi-level “continental” style Fun<br />

House to British fairs in the 1980s, but since the<br />

mid '90s larger construction have started<br />

appearing, spanning as many as four levels.<br />

Trevor Dailey really raised the game with his<br />

Barbisan King's Circus (now abroad), and now<br />

young showman Curtis Eddy has snatched the<br />

title of UK's largest travelling Fun House with his<br />

new 30.5m Jungle Fun House. To date, Eddy has<br />

travelled a variety of attractions including his<br />

family's Waltzer, a Fabbri Booster and two family<br />

coasters. So why did he opt for a large Walkthrough<br />

construction?<br />

“My uncle always told me the only thing better<br />

than a nice little Waltzer was a nice big Waltzer,<br />

so I thought the same might apply to a Fun<br />

House. <strong>The</strong>re was also the opportunity to travel<br />

such a construction on my father-in-law's [Stewart<br />

Robinson] fairs, so I took the plunge and<br />

placed an order with Jamie Whiting in July 2011<br />

after being impressed with a Ghost Train he had<br />

built a few years earlier.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Jungle Fun House follows the same format<br />

as several Italian-style constructions before it<br />

was built in Pontefract, West Yorkshire by Whiting,<br />

with help from showman colleagues Charles<br />

Church and Ryan Barwick. All three are lifelong<br />

friends of Eddy, but there was one main<br />

reason he decided to buy British.<br />

“Quite simply it would have cost me about 30%<br />

more to go with a foreign manufacturer because<br />

of import duties and the exchange rate of the<br />

Euro,” he told us. “All the motors, gearboxes and<br />

PORTRAIT<br />

<strong>The</strong> water obstacle<br />

course is an important part of<br />

the construction<br />

“Will the Dutchman”<br />

painting the attraction<br />

control systems are also from the UK, so if anything<br />

goes wrong I've not got far to go to get<br />

spares.” Standing 11m tall, the attraction spans<br />

three floors and can also be built to a width of<br />

either 18 or 24 m. Like most British Fun Houses,<br />

its depth is confined to the width of the trailer it<br />

is built on. As a result of this and a relatively<br />

modest selection of effects inside, it packs onto<br />

just two loads, comprising one 16.5m arctic<br />

trailer and a smaller tri-axle trailer that sits to the<br />

left as an integral part of the show featuring a<br />

spiral slide and water obstacle course. During<br />

their walk in the jungle, fair-goers will also encounter<br />

all the usual “tricks” and effects such as<br />

a rolling barrel, moving walkways, stairs,<br />

brushes, rollers, spinning discs and so on.<br />

Having considered various ideas, including the<br />

tried and tested circus theme and a more<br />

original but not particularly child-friendly “Fun<br />

House XL” format, Eddy decided to play it safe<br />

and opt for the name of "Jungle Fun House". <strong>The</strong><br />

talented but sadly retired airbrush artist Paul<br />

Wright was invited to prepare a design for the<br />

facade. Although the attraction's owner has<br />

decorated several attractions himself in the past,<br />

he didn't feel confident on such a large canvas.<br />

After rejecting an earlier plan to have it vinylprinted,<br />

he commissioned “Will the Dutchman”<br />

to bring it to life.<br />

Improvements to the show will follow once funds<br />

allow, and the owner is currently on the lookout<br />

for interesting animatronics and effects to give it<br />

the “X factor,” both inside and out. Originally it<br />

was due have a fourth level walkway on the roof,<br />

but that was deemed too scary for young children,<br />

but it's always an option in future.<br />

<strong>The</strong> attraction made its debut last summer at<br />

Whitehaven Festival in Cumbria, where it will<br />

make a return appearance this June. Other confirmed<br />

events in 2013 include Scarborough Fair,<br />

Hull Fair and many other fun fairs in Eddy's<br />

native county of Yorkshire.<br />

And if you like jungle and circus-themed Fun<br />

Houses, then the UK is the place for you! Here<br />

are some of the other large constructions that<br />

have appeared in recent years:<br />

Trevor Dailey’s “King’s<br />

“Crazy Circus” from John<br />

King's Circus<br />

Following an appearance in the mid 1990s of a<br />

similar, Dutch-owned attraction at Glasgow's<br />

SECC Christmas Fair in Scotland, Trevor Dailey<br />

wowed British fair-goers and many of his fellow<br />

showmen when he purchased a three-tier<br />

"King's Circus" Fun House from the now-defunct<br />

Italian manufacturer Barbisan. About twice the<br />

length of nearly every other Fun House touring<br />

the country at the time, its construction and its<br />

theme went on to inspire many of the British Fun<br />

Houses that followed. <strong>The</strong> attraction was sold<br />

abroad in the mid nineties.<br />

Czech Circus<br />

Originally travelled by Joe Mulhearn Jnr. and<br />

John Bagnall, the two Crazy Circus Fun Houses<br />

that entered the UK in 2002 from the Czech<br />

Republic were hardly original. but paved the way<br />

for further Eastern European constructions to<br />

come into the country, including several Czechbuilt<br />

Miami constructions, and more recently a<br />

handful of Hungarian and Slovakian dodgem<br />

tracks, Star Flyers, and a Break Dance. Built by<br />

Funlight, the Fun Houses are now travelled<br />

respectively by John Noyce and George Gess,<br />

though a third construction called "Jumbo<br />

Circus", delivered new in 2003, is still with<br />

original owner Brandon Connell.<br />

Jumbo Circus<br />

Freddie Stokes has travelled a Sobema Super<br />

Bob on British shores for 30 years, but in 2006<br />

he and his sons completed an impressive fourtier<br />

Fun House called "Jumbo Circus". Its<br />

generic name does not take away from its<br />

high quality construction, and the family<br />

continues to present the show at many of the<br />

UK's larger fairs. Stokes and his “Danum UK”<br />

imprint have also been responsible for building<br />

several attractive children's rides including<br />

several much-admired mini Miamis and<br />

Matterhorns.<br />

Jungle Madness<br />

Another predictable theme is featured on this<br />

nevertheless imposing Fun House travelled<br />

by Craig Freeman since 2008. <strong>The</strong> show was<br />

constructed by young showmen Scott & Ross<br />

Craddock on behalf of Walter Murphy Jnr.,<br />

who has several other Fun Houses and<br />

attractions under his belt including a Ghost<br />

Train built for Freeman in 2000.<br />

For Gilbert Jnr.'s biggest ever Fun House, which<br />

debuted in May 2010, he chose a pirate theme,<br />

but soon “softened it up” with friendlier colours<br />

and features including handrail decor influenced<br />

by a well-known German show. His<br />

takings duly increased! A second trailer, incorporating<br />

several water obstacles, is placed in<br />

at the Spring Fair in<br />

Senftenberg<br />

For three years, the showman<br />

enterprise Carola Andrich from<br />

Baruth/Mark in Brandenburg has<br />

been operating the small “Crazy<br />

Train” Switchback, in addition to<br />

a kiddie carousel, the “Kleiner<br />

Glücksbringer”, a Continental<br />

pick stand and the “Biker Dream”<br />

shooting gallery. <strong>The</strong> Kirmes &<br />

the family’s son, Gorden Andrich,<br />

Crazy Train<br />

Originally, the Switchback, the year of construction<br />

and builder are unknown, was a<br />

horse carousel operated by the showman Matthias<br />

Dick up until the early 1960s and then rebuilt into<br />

the Switchback “Lillyput-Express”. Having been<br />

successfully reconstructed, the ride was operated<br />

by Matthias Dick for yet another couple of years,<br />

before being sold to showman Horst Schröter from<br />

Andernach. After several further changes of<br />

ownership, the attraction was taken over by showman<br />

Heinrich Roos, who set out to completely overhaul<br />

and redesign the ride shortly after the takeover.<br />

First, he had the Boutier firm in Saarlouis build<br />

a new track circuit. <strong>The</strong> old rounding boards, on<br />

which former pop stars had been immortalized,<br />

and the decorative pictures were newly built by<br />

Heinrich Roos himself. Next, the entire ride was<br />

newly painted and decorated by the Müller firm<br />

from Wallerfangen. On completion of the reconstruction,<br />

the “Lillyput-Express” became the<br />

“Crazy Train” in the summer of 1992. Due to the<br />

Statue of Liberty sitting majestically in the middle<br />

of the ride, the American skyline mounted to the<br />

middle of the rounding boards and its colourful<br />

painting, the carousel changed into quite an<br />

exotic item among the Switchback constructions,<br />

displaying an American Pop-Art theme with a<br />

nostalgic touch. Heinrich Roos operated the<br />

“Crazy Train” for another 13 years, before selling it<br />

to the Dauenhauer firm from Frankfurt/Main, which<br />

operated the ride for five years up until October<br />

2010. <strong>The</strong>n the attraction was taken over by the<br />

Andrich family that had been looking for a smaller<br />

and more light-weight ride for some time. It was to<br />

be quickly relocated so that their son Gorden, 23<br />

years old at that time, would be able to build up<br />

and dismantle the ride with a minimum of<br />

personnel. With its well-thought-out and<br />

light-weight construction, the “Crazy Train”<br />

entirely met the wishes and ideas of the<br />

Andrich family. <strong>The</strong> base, supports, pillars,<br />

rafters, and crown slats are made of steel. Almost<br />

all individual sections are secured by bolts; only<br />

the tracks and supports have to be screwed<br />

together with 32 screws. For relocating, the 16 cars<br />

have to be dismantled. However, only the two side<br />

walls and the backs are loaded on the baggage<br />

van. <strong>The</strong> other gondola sections are packed and<br />

transported on the centre trailer together with the<br />

tracks, 16-section construction and wood. <strong>The</strong><br />

paybox-operator stand is firmly mounted above<br />

the front axle of the two-axle centre trailer. <strong>The</strong><br />

drive system of the ride is said to come from an<br />

electric mining locomotive. <strong>The</strong> rotational speed of<br />

the 15-HP engine is transmitted to the pin rim via a<br />

counter shaft gear and a pinion, and controlled<br />

with a combination of drive position controls and a<br />

water starter. Maximum rotational speed amounts<br />

to 12.5 r.p.m. While it takes four men and a maximum<br />

eight hours to unhurriedly build up the<br />

Switchback, dismantling is accomplished within<br />

about 3.5 hours. Gorden Andrich presents the<br />

“Crazy Train” only at minor festivals in Brandenburg,<br />

Saxony and Saxon-Anhalt. Other venues this<br />

year will be, among other events, the Weinfest in<br />

Radebeul and the Inselfest in Frauenhain, as well<br />

as several other Volksfest events.<br />

President Albert Ritter<br />

"<strong>The</strong> Situation is Very Crucial"<br />

Showman President Luís Paulo Fernandes about the fight of showmen in Portugal<br />

<strong>The</strong> showman branch is naturally also affected<br />

by the current economic crisis in the<br />

southern European EU-countries. <strong>The</strong><br />

drastic debt-cutting measures and the new<br />

taxation laws lead not only to turnover<br />

losses, but also endanger jobs, and with<br />

that the existence of the Volksfests in the<br />

long run. Since the beginning of the year,<br />

showmen in Portugal have been protesting<br />

against the increase of value added<br />

tax (VAT). In an interview with the Kirmes &<br />

<strong>Park</strong> Revue , President of the Portuguese<br />

showman association Associação Portuguesa<br />

de Empresas de Diversão (APED),<br />

Luís Paulo Fernandes, related about the<br />

fight of colleagues against the financial<br />

politics of the Portuguese government.<br />

ESU-President Albert Ritter at the Historic Jahrmarkt<br />

at the beginning of March 2013 in Bochum<br />

What actually is the situation in Portugal?<br />

Luís Paulo Fernandes:<br />

Even after the 42-day protest action in the<br />

whole of the country, the situation for the<br />

showmen in Portugal has not changed. Our<br />

demands were introduced to the political<br />

parties and parliament committees and redirected<br />

to the government.<br />

What are your actual demands to the politicians?<br />

Luís Paulo Fernandes:<br />

<strong>The</strong> Volksfests in Portugal are a cultural asset<br />

worthy of protection. Our showman branch is<br />

a cultural branch, is however subject to the increased<br />

tax of 23 percent. We are demanding<br />

reduced taxation, as is deemed in most European<br />

countries for showmen. Another demand<br />

is the harmonisation of traffic regulations,<br />

and the lowering or alternatively the<br />

exemption of road charges and tax. A showman<br />

transports his own business and not<br />

other goods. Furthermore we are fighting for<br />

the cutting of red tape and a unified and<br />

countrywide permit practice.<br />

How many showmen have taken part in the<br />

protests?<br />

Luís Paulo Fernandes:<br />

<strong>The</strong> response has been terrific up until now.<br />

Around 85 percent of the enterprises have<br />

taken part in the protest actions. On an average<br />

it would be 180 showmen per day.<br />

What are the consequences of increased<br />

taxation for colleagues in Portugal?<br />

Luís Paulo Fernandes:<br />

<strong>The</strong> situation is very crucial for the showmen.<br />

A number stand shortly before economic ruin.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Portuguese showman association helps<br />

its members as much as it can.<br />

Has there already been any response from<br />

the government?<br />

Luís Paulo Fernandes:<br />

<strong>The</strong> government and political representatives<br />

have always and repeatedly announced that<br />

"Unity gives strength". Protest action by showmen<br />

in Lisbon<br />

they would help. However, up until now<br />

nothing's happened that's worth mentioning.<br />

We will therefore continue our protests. On a<br />

related note I would like to convey our heartfelt<br />

thanks to the European Showman Union<br />

and its President Albert Ritter, in the name of<br />

all Portuguese showmen, for the support and<br />

solidarity.<br />

Our fight will continue!<br />

Resistance to the closing of the Sinksenfoor in Belgium<br />

It is one of the largest and most popular<br />

Volksfest in Belgium: each event presents<br />

over 150 showmen, more than one million<br />

visitors at the Sinksenfoor, fun and entertainment.<br />

However the future of the<br />

traditional fair looks gloomy. Following<br />

legal action from residents, it will be permanently<br />

banned from the historic harbour<br />

area of Antwerp. <strong>The</strong>re is no alternative<br />

location as yet. <strong>The</strong> European Showman<br />

Union protested energetically against<br />

the closing of the Sinksenfoor.<br />

"It can't be true that the desire of six residents<br />

takes precedence over the interest of hundreds<br />

of thousands of Kirmes fans", said ESU-<br />

President Albert Ritter, and called for resistance<br />

against the closing of the Sinksenfoor. In<br />

a letter to the Belgian showman colleagues<br />

Ritter emphasised: "Don't allow this arbitrariness!<br />

It's not only your work that is in danger,<br />

but also the future of the cultural asset, the<br />

Volksfest. <strong>The</strong> European Showman-Union,<br />

and with that all European showmen support<br />

you!" Albert Ritter views Sinksenfoor as a sad<br />

example of a trend, "which unfortunately can<br />

also be seen in other European countries.<br />

Traditional fairs simply being deposed".<br />

It is therefore important that organisations<br />

<strong>The</strong> Sinksenfoor is a Kirmes with a hundred<br />

year tradition.<br />

(Photo: ESU)<br />

such as the ESU and the German Showman<br />

Association work against this development<br />

with all their might. <strong>The</strong> Sinksenfoor looks<br />

back on hundreds of years of tradition. It's had<br />

its permanent place in the historic harbour<br />

area of Antwerp since 1969. Ritter: "<strong>The</strong> heart<br />

of the European Volksfest beats in the centre<br />

of the cities. It was here that they originated,<br />

and it's here that their future should be."<br />

Ritter referred to talks undertaken by the<br />

European Showman Union in the past with<br />

representatives of the European parliament<br />

and the commission. During that time the<br />

delegates always referred to the cultural and<br />

economical importance of the Volksfests for<br />

the community, and that this cultural asset<br />

should be protected. ESU-President: "It<br />

contradicts all logic and cannot be agree to<br />

that the Sinksenfoor should be driven out<br />

now from Antwerp. <strong>The</strong> European showmen<br />

support their Belgian colleagues in the fight<br />

for their jobs. <strong>The</strong> cultural asset Volksfest must<br />

live on!<br />

Unity gives strength!"<br />

COASTER<br />

<strong>The</strong> continuous almost<br />

endless looking inversions<br />

are really something<br />

Secret weapons were always a<br />

British speciality – thanks to<br />

James Bond and the MI 5, but<br />

also thanks to Alton Towers in<br />

the <strong>English</strong> Midlands. This<br />

year’s novelty under the synonym<br />

“SW7” has also caused a<br />

lot of attention since already the<br />

middle of 2012.<br />

Thoroughly British<br />

humour<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Smiler</strong><br />

It all started in 1990 with the Inverted Coaster from<br />

B&M, when the infamous “Nemesis” practically<br />

rose out of the ground overnight. <strong>The</strong> description<br />

Secret Weapon (SW) became so established by<br />

the creative team at Alton Towers, and later by the<br />

Merlin Group, that all other larger projects for the<br />

park had the same abbreviation and were only extended<br />

numerically. <strong>The</strong> excitement about this<br />

year’s novelty was increased by the marketing<br />

department not only due to the long silence<br />

about the construction, about what kind of<br />

world novelty attraction would be added, but<br />

also by the secret advertising measures. And<br />

so the grinning logo could be seen during the winter<br />

months projected in public places and on buildings,<br />

or the fan community was made very curious<br />

by a very mysterious student type of film work<br />

in internet. And it’s exactly this type of bizarre and<br />

funny “feeding” of potential visitors by the marketing<br />

department that always makes a difference<br />

with new attractions for Alton Towers.<br />

68


“<strong>The</strong> <strong>Smiler</strong>” waits this year with a special world<br />

record, because as of now it is the coaster with<br />

the most inversions in the world: believe it or not,<br />

the 1,170 metre long track course offers 14 (!).<br />

After German manufacturer Gerstlauer began to<br />

produce for Thorpe <strong>Park</strong> (also Merlin Entertainments<br />

Group) and had delivered a top job with<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Saw”, the southern German company had<br />

to extend itself even more for the project for<br />

this year’s sensation at Alton Towers.<br />

initiated by the already mentioned lifts and always<br />

comprising of seven widespread inversions –<br />

there were separate calculations for the arising<br />

acceleration, which for example enables narrower<br />

curve radii. Another side benefit of the two lifts:<br />

the ride guests have the opportunity of a short<br />

recovery phase after around half of the otherwise<br />

no respite coaster ride.<br />

A number of lifts are not<br />

really anything special,<br />

however are of a different type<br />

<strong>The</strong> peculiar moving<br />

sculpture reminds one a little<br />

of a transformer<br />

A very Compact Coaster Layout<br />

This year’s attraction stands directly next to<br />

the “Oblivion” coaster on the earlier location<br />

of the indoor coaster “Blackhole”, type “City<br />

Jet” from Anton Schwarzkopf, which has left<br />

the park. Only marginal extensions were<br />

made to the grounds for the world record<br />

holder, and it’s really amazing how those<br />

responsible have created a real masterpiece<br />

– from layout to calculation – in order to accommodate<br />

the vast number of inversions in<br />

such a compact form. This objective was accomplished<br />

by way of two features: on the one<br />

hand both lifts – a classic chain lift is located<br />

shortly behind the station building and a vertical<br />

variation (however without the following<br />

steep drop known from the “Eurofighter”)<br />

directly in the construction – a relatively small<br />

area to make use of. On the other hand, due<br />

to these two course sequences – each being<br />

69


COASTER<br />

A total view of the very<br />

compact construction<br />

Something more or less<br />

unusual for a park construction<br />

is commonplace for transportable<br />

coasters: a well thought out<br />

organisation and many experiences<br />

as possible on the<br />

smallest area available<br />

<strong>The</strong>ming and Idea by John Wardley<br />

Incidentally the coaster theme is once again typically<br />

British, in part a little macabre but with a lot<br />

of witticism, and the attraction integrates very well<br />

into the “X-Sector” theme area. So once again the<br />

“Ministry of Joy” wanted to provide all visitors with<br />

a lasting smile. First and foremost the effect<br />

should naturally be caused by the many inversions,<br />

but the intention has a lot of support<br />

through psychedelic videos, sounds and symbols.<br />

Many of these components remind one of<br />

the 70s, but here however are in a contemporary<br />

and modern guise. And it’s especially the tower<br />

type of construction in the centre with the 360°<br />

display that’s noticeable, but there are also other<br />

moving decoration elements that support this<br />

effect. In the waiting area the theme is continued<br />

again with video screens repeatedly showing<br />

jingles and projections literally “soaking” the<br />

visitors.<br />

Momentarily, as the waiting times can be particularly<br />

long due to the storm on the ride and the<br />

technical problems that occur now and again, the<br />

forceful effects are almost psychologically<br />

burdening.<br />

70


And the ride already starts with a surprise: after<br />

leaving the station, the train travels over a slanting<br />

left curve into a Heartline-Roll that is not visible<br />

from outside, which is followed by the chain lift in<br />

the open, and the drop flows into a corkscrew. <strong>The</strong><br />

rest of the ride with inversions at various heights<br />

is very confusing, and one really has the impression<br />

of being upside down constantly. It’s only before<br />

the second lift that the ride guests have a moment<br />

to recover, but even during the small pause<br />

have to go through another brainwashing thanks<br />

to the displays and visual spots. It’s only after this<br />

that the ride travels into the heights a second time<br />

at a 90° angle, to then undertake the other seven<br />

inversions. <strong>The</strong> two last inversions in the form of<br />

two Corkscrews also offer somewhat of a change,<br />

and lead the train with a left curve quite crisply<br />

back to the station. A small difference is made by<br />

the two Camelbacks (one in each segment),<br />

which serve a pretty strong negative g-force.<br />

Four trains are used in total which – different to the<br />

known Gerstlauer “Eurofighter” – have four individual<br />

cars, each with four rows. Two trains can<br />

be sent onto the track simultaneously, which in<br />

itself is an optical treat. Because the Batwing<br />

element knots the two tracks – in other words are<br />

“interlocked loopings”, it looks in part as though<br />

two trains are travelling in the same element<br />

simultaneously – including “near miss” effects.<br />

Even if the clearance gauge for the four seats per<br />

car is enormous, the effect appears to be a perfect<br />

interaction.<br />

John Wardley, Creative Advisor for ride attractions<br />

at Merlin, was also involved in the planning of “<strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Smiler</strong>”. He is of the opinion that the total amount<br />

for time, money and energy that had to be<br />

expended was huge, and although he has been<br />

engaged in this area for over 35 years, “<strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Smiler</strong>” has exceeded every boundary. <strong>The</strong> result<br />

regarding attraction and theming is impressive.<br />

After the somewhat half heartedly realized projects<br />

for Alton Towers over the past years, the fact<br />

that John Wardley was involved has done more<br />

than good.<br />

TEA EUROPE MEETING & TEA/AECOM GLOBAL ATTRACTIONS ATTENDANCE REPORT<br />

<strong>The</strong> annual general meeting of<br />

the TEA Europe & Middle East<br />

Division took place this year<br />

from the 21 st to 23 rd of May.<br />

<strong>The</strong> conference location was<br />

chosen to be the Spanish Port-<br />

Aventura Resort.<br />

Text:<br />

Frank Lanfer<br />

Tabellen & Grafik: TEA / AECOM<br />

In addition to member matters and a backstage<br />

tour through PortAventura, there were also a number<br />

of lectures on the agenda during the two days.<br />

One example was given by architect Ray Hole who<br />

advised the meteorological fact that the jet streamaxis<br />

has translocated to the south during the last 50<br />

years. Once it had run between the British Isles and<br />

the European mainland, but currently it runs over<br />

continental Europe. Great Britain had enjoyed mild<br />

weather conditions earlier due to the northern extension<br />

of the jet stream, but is now located right in<br />

the centre of a continuous rainfall zone.<br />

More All-weather Attractions<br />

This inevitable fact must be taken into consideration<br />

and reaction should be shown particularly by entertainment<br />

architecture and other theme park facilities<br />

by installing much more all-weather attractions, according<br />

to Ray Hole. His statement: “Experience<br />

comes first, then the weather.”<br />

Martin Barrett from the company of the same name,<br />

also spoke of the changed weather conditions in<br />

Great Britain, which was painfully obvious in the<br />

past and completely rain-swept season. He advised<br />

park operators to: “Minimize costs (amongst<br />

others by pre-bookings). Maximize revenues (for<br />

example by paid Fast-Passes). Make bad weather<br />

fun (with free hot chocolate, rain checks, water<br />

games and so on).”<br />

At the moment everyone’s attention has shifted in<br />

the direction of the booming theme park scene in<br />

Asia. For this reason the presentation from Yael<br />

Coifman, in the name of his firm Leisure Development<br />

Partners was all the more remarkable when<br />

he spoke of the location advantage of Latin<br />

America: “Many people in South America have<br />

more money than in China”. However, whilst there<br />

is a saturated market in museums, indoor playgrounds,<br />

and inner city Lunaparks, there are hardly<br />

any modern theme parks in almost all Latin<br />

American countries, especially Brazil, Mexico, and<br />

Chile, as well as Columbia, Uruguay, Panama and<br />

Costa Rica. Adversary elements against a positive<br />

development are still corruption, drugs and the<br />

distances between the cities. Additionally Yael<br />

Coifman warned against simply implanting North<br />

American or European park models. A project must<br />

be content-related and orientated on location<br />

conditions.<br />

74


<strong>The</strong> release of worldwide visitor numbers for the<br />

year 2012 was followed intensely by participants,<br />

which had been put together by TEA together with<br />

AECOM. David Camp from D&J International<br />

Consulting. Already a part of the results could be<br />

presented during the TEA-meetings.<br />

Figures Released<br />

In the meantime all figures could be elicited.<br />

Natalia Bakhlina from AECOM Associate Director,<br />

Economics, Europe, stated as follows about the<br />

European market: “<strong>The</strong> 2012 season was unbelievably<br />

difficult for the European theme park<br />

industry due to the continuing economic<br />

recession, cold and wet summers in Northern<br />

Europe and<br />

the London<br />

2012 Olympic<br />

Games, which<br />

left London<br />

deserted for<br />

several weeks<br />

in summer.<br />

Some parks<br />

found it challenging to maintain attendance.<br />

Others, however, showed strong growth which<br />

demonstrates that thoughtful reinvestment can<br />

overcome negative trends.<br />

Thanks to these strong performers, the overall<br />

attendance to the top 20 European parks remained<br />

stable, at 58 million visits.”<br />

COASTER<br />

<strong>The</strong> aging entrance has<br />

been renewed, and now has<br />

a striking guard with the<br />

“GateKeeper”<br />

For some time now, the front<br />

entrance of Cedar Point has<br />

been in need of updating. A<br />

park of its magnitude had to<br />

have something more “monumental”.<br />

What it needed was...<br />

naturally a coaster, after all<br />

Cedar Point is known for them.<br />

Text & Photos: Justin Garvanovic<br />

<strong>The</strong> total size of this new<br />

attraction from B&M can only<br />

be appreciated from the lake<br />

and park sides<br />

GateKeeper<br />

51.8 m in height, with a 50 m first<br />

drop, which is simultaneously also a<br />

Dive Loop, making it the highest<br />

inversion on any coaster. Anyway,<br />

this roller coaster is more than just a<br />

Cedar Point has a reputation for doing things set of numbers; it changes the overall appearance<br />

of the park more than any other ride in-<br />

“bigger” than just about every other park in<br />

the world. After breaking three coaster-height stallation.<br />

world records, it was therefore no surprise that To make space for “GateKeeper” – Cedar Point<br />

when Cedar Point announced its novelty for 2013 is in effect an island, so space is at a premium –<br />

that it would be a record breaker within its category.<br />

What was surprising though, was just how Intamin “Swiss Bob” built in 1985, and the “Space<br />

two rides were removed: “Disaster Transport” an<br />

much of an impact the new ride would have on Spiral”, a double level viewing tower from the<br />

the park.<br />

Swiss firms Willy Bühler (tower construction) and<br />

So the “GateKeeper” is not surprisingly the Von Roll (double level cabins; taken over by<br />

largest Wing Coaster ever built by B&M. It stands Intamin in 1971), construction year 1965.<br />

76


With these two rides removed, a large section of<br />

the park was opened up to all park visitors to view<br />

Lake Erie. Although Cedar Point is surrounded by<br />

this lake, one of the five Great Lakes, much<br />

couldn’t be seen from the park itself. <strong>The</strong> park’s<br />

hotels take up a lot of the lake front real estate,<br />

so generally one needs to be at height to see the<br />

lake – something admittedly most of the rides at<br />

Cedar Point accomplish with aplomb. “Gate-<br />

Keeper” reclaims a large chunk of the lake front,<br />

with its entrance placed almost on the beach<br />

itself. Within the park the ride is impressively<br />

designed, but this is not where this coaster has<br />

the most impact. To see that, visitors have to go<br />

outside the park.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is a ritual at Cedar Point locally known as<br />

the “running of the bulls” where upon the park<br />

opening, there is a mad dash to the south side<br />

as riders try to get to “Millennium Force” first, in<br />

order to avoid considerable waiting times. As the<br />

“GateKeeper” is to the north, runners are confronted<br />

with the agony of choice.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Wing Coaster plays<br />

with the entrance pillars that<br />

are the supports and nearmisses<br />

simultaneously<br />

77


Photo row: the<br />

spectacular first drop almost<br />

offers Flying Coaster features<br />

Heading north visitors are presented with “Max-<br />

Air”, the park’s Huss Giant Frisbee, behind which<br />

the “GateKeeper” entrance is located. It is<br />

marked with a large logo “sculpture,” leading<br />

guests into the extensive queue, which was<br />

reported to be as long as five hours on opening<br />

day. Due to the isolated nature of each side of a<br />

Wing Coaster train, the queue has to split into a<br />

left and right side, which it does just before<br />

potential riders climb up into the station, which is<br />

vast.<br />

A Mixture of Different Coasters<br />

<strong>The</strong> trains seem almost to be a union of previous<br />

B&M designs. <strong>The</strong>ir size reminds one of the Dive<br />

Coaster, the restraints of the Flying Coaster, the<br />

leg freedom of the Inverted Coaster, and the<br />

openness of a Floorless Coaster. <strong>The</strong> lift hill hauls<br />

the 32-seat train quickly and quietly to the 50 m<br />

apex. Noise is something that had to be reduced<br />

as there are homes not that far from the front of<br />

the park. <strong>The</strong> noise reduction also extends to the<br />

supports that have been filled with some element<br />

(B&M insists it’s not just sand), to dampen the<br />

sound of the train. Nothing will dampen the noise<br />

of the riders though.<br />

“GateKeeper”, like both Thorpe <strong>Park</strong>’s “Stealth”<br />

and Six Flags Great America’s “X-Flight”, doesn’t<br />

wait to get riders inverted; a Dive Drop at the top<br />

of the lift inverts the train, whilst at the same time<br />

dropping down almost to the ground. This sequence<br />

reminds one strongly of the until now unrivalled<br />

twist at the top of the Vekoma Flying<br />

Coasters, and it does make one wonder why<br />

B&M never tried this element on a Flying Coaster.<br />

Rising back up, riders travel into two inversions<br />

before they even have time to catch their breath.<br />

<strong>The</strong> top speed here is about 108 kilometres per<br />

hour.<br />

78


Manufactured in the USA<br />

<strong>The</strong> following airtime hill is fun, but doesn’t give<br />

rise, as expected, to all too much negative forces.<br />

Different levels of airtime can be found in different<br />

seats, and in general the back seats do give<br />

slightly more, also on this coaster. This is the<br />

same for all the forces on the ride; none are going<br />

to “tear your face off,” which may not be that bad<br />

a thing.<br />

A corkscrew element raises the inversion count<br />

to three, and now has the train heading along the<br />

front of the park, ready for its party piece. <strong>The</strong><br />

impossibly small slither of space between the<br />

entrance pillars is negotiated with smooth perfection.<br />

One could swear it’s possible to touch the<br />

structure when passing through, but of course,<br />

it’s always just out of reach.<br />

Initially the park<br />

was planning to<br />

create the signature<br />

“fly-through”<br />

by building a facade<br />

around the<br />

ride’s structure, but Bob Mampe, the American<br />

representative of Bolliger & Mabillard, suggested<br />

that the same effect could be created structurally.<br />

This meant re-designing the supports<br />

used in that area, which was made easier<br />

because Clermont Steel Fabricators, who are<br />

responsible for all of B&M’s steel work, are<br />

located “just” 370 km south of Cedar Point in<br />

Batavia. This made transporting the huge steel<br />

sections just about practical, but the extra effort<br />

was well worth it and just what the park needed:<br />

an entrance to be proud of.<br />

Just beyond the entrance which the train flies<br />

over with a Revolution Looping is inversion five,<br />

an inclined Dive Loop that has the train heading<br />

back and to inversion six, once again over the<br />

entrance. Now, however, the ride pretty much<br />

comes to an end. <strong>The</strong> train is still some way from<br />

the station, but the combination of a block brake<br />

and a pretty ineffectual helix finish the ride, which<br />

is something of a letdown after everything that<br />

has come before it.<br />

As already mentioned, these types of rides thrive<br />

when sent close to track side objects (the socalled<br />

“near misses”), however, apart from the<br />

new supports at the entrance area, there are no<br />

others on “GateKeeper”. This is such a wasted<br />

opportunity because a few objects scattered<br />

liberally around the ride, especially on the slow<br />

final helix, would surely improve the overall<br />

experience even more. Maybe it would have<br />

been interesting if the park had kept the “Space<br />

Spiral” and had the coaster interact with it in<br />

some way for example.<br />

Nevertheless, Cedar Point has a breathtaking<br />

coaster that is already extremely popular. ■<br />

PORTRAIT<br />

Without a doubt an<br />

additional thrill factor for a<br />

number of guests: Europe’s<br />

most active volcano, Etna,<br />

can be seen from almost<br />

everywhere<br />

Up until recently there were<br />

really only two large and<br />

modern theme parks in Italy<br />

with Gardaland and Mirabilandia,<br />

but currently the theme<br />

park scene is going through a<br />

very successful period: Miragica<br />

in Puglia near Bari opened in<br />

2009, Rainbow MagicLand near<br />

Rome in 2011, the new indoorwater<br />

park Aquaworld opened<br />

in 2012, the film park Cinecitta<br />

World near Rome is coming<br />

into being, and the Sicilian<br />

Etnaland went through a massive<br />

transformation between<br />

2010 to 2013 from a water park<br />

into a theme park.<br />

cleaned of volcano ash<br />

Etnaland<br />

<strong>The</strong> history of Etnaland begins back in 1983 with<br />

the opening of the Parco Zoo di Sicilia near Belpasso,<br />

not too far from Catania. Earlier, this animal<br />

park contained many different species from every<br />

continent, and an exhibition of life size models of<br />

prehistoric creatures. In 2001, the resort was enlarged<br />

with the construction of the water park and<br />

from that moment, the two parks combined are<br />

known as Etnaland. Due to the great success of this<br />

first expansion, the park’s management decided to<br />

focus the future of the resort more and more on the<br />

attractions and less on the animals. This became<br />

clear in 2005 with the opening of “Crocodile Rapids”,<br />

a Hafema Rapids Ride which is a type of attraction<br />

that does not appear frequently in water<br />

parks. In 2010 “Jungle Splash” opened, one of the<br />

very first Intamin Spillwater rides to use a vertical<br />

lift system. At the beginning of 2012, with the opening<br />

of “Dragon River”, a heavily themed, family<br />

friendly log flume produced by Hafema, it was already<br />

in the air that the addition of a whole theme<br />

park area was imminent. And on April 20th 2013,<br />

this became reality. But as fate would have it, just<br />

before the opening of the theme park, Mount Etna<br />

gave its blessings, by covering everything in dust.<br />

PORTRAIT<br />

<strong>The</strong> nucleus of today’s modern Etnaland were a Dinosaur<br />

park and a water park<br />

Etnaland <strong>The</strong>me <strong>Park</strong> is divided into five different<br />

themed lands. <strong>The</strong> previously mentioned water attractions<br />

“Crocodile Rapids”, “Jungle Splash” and<br />

“Dragon River” are part of “Splash”, which is completed<br />

by “Acqua Bum”, a small boat ride. <strong>The</strong><br />

unique feature of this section of the park is that it is<br />

part of the theme park as well as the water park.<br />

Another park section is called “Ultopia”, designed<br />

as an old mining town. And it’s here that the water<br />

ride “Kaos” is located, a Mack “Twist & Splash”. At<br />

the moment, although the attraction is fully operational,<br />

the theming and is yet to be added, as<br />

well as a set of water cannons for the guests on the<br />

outside. Additionally there is also the “Kasimiro”, a<br />

tiny figure eight train ride for the small children; the<br />

“1900th”, an SBF tractor themed ride that brings the<br />

guests through an open air museum of truly old<br />

tractors from the past century, and the “Love Lagoon”,<br />

a nice way to relax between one thrill ride<br />

and another. “Utopia” also contains “<strong>The</strong> School”,<br />

“<strong>The</strong> School” from Gosetto<br />

is probably the most unusual<br />

interactive Darkride in the world<br />

83


“Eldorado” is the first<br />

family coaster of steel from<br />

S&S Worldwide, alternatively<br />

S&S-Sansei; it has a length of<br />

579 metres and is 21 metres<br />

high<br />

<strong>The</strong> Etnaland has three<br />

coasters on offer: “Eldorado”<br />

from S&S, “<strong>The</strong> Storm” from<br />

Mack Rides, and the “Hip Hop<br />

Coaster” from Zamperla<br />

a very unique interactive Darkride built by Gosetto,<br />

which recreates, as its name suggests, an old<br />

abandoned school hunted by the ghosts of the<br />

teachers and the staff members who used to work<br />

in it. <strong>The</strong> element that makes “<strong>The</strong> School” much<br />

different from all the other interactive Darkrides is<br />

that guests don’t have guns to shoot at targets, but<br />

a set of three buttons to answer questions posed<br />

by the ghosts of the professors and, depending on<br />

the choices made, different effects are activated.<br />

<strong>The</strong> last ride in “Utopia” is “Eldorado”, a 24 meters<br />

tall Mine Train coaster produced by S&S Sansai. Its<br />

layout, as some other similar models, goes above,<br />

around and through an artificial mountain, which<br />

will be completed for the next season. Additionally,<br />

for those not brave enough to ride “Eldorado”,<br />

there’s a path which goes right through the artificial<br />

mountain where it’s possible to watch the riders flying<br />

by through some of the many tunnels.<br />

<strong>The</strong> other attraction produced by S&S for Etnaland<br />

is the “Etnaland Tower”, a 60 meters tall Shot & Drop<br />

Freefall Tower, located in theme area “Eland”, the<br />

source and the root of the whole fun at Etnaland.<br />

This section also contains the “Funivia”, an 1800<br />

meters long ropeway which travels all around the<br />

resort giving a nice 30 minutes long panoramic tour<br />

of all the attractions including the water park and<br />

the prehistoric park. Not far from the “Funivia”, there<br />

is the “Cinema 4D” which, due to a bureaucratic<br />

problem with one of the service exits, could not be<br />

opened in time for the beginning of the season.<br />

And naturally Etnaland also has a signature ride as<br />

every theme park: a large coaster. Here it is in the<br />

form of “<strong>The</strong> Storm”, a so called Megalite Coaster<br />

from Mack Rides, which is the first model of its kind<br />

ever built in the world. <strong>The</strong> first very interesting<br />

detail about “<strong>The</strong> Storm” is the station building<br />

which is strongly askew towards the lift hill. From the<br />

84


inside, this gives the impression that the station<br />

track is not horizontal but is inclined upwards<br />

toward the lift hill. <strong>The</strong> train is pulled unusually<br />

quickly up the 32 meters tall lift hill which would give<br />

an amazing view of the Etna volcano and the surrounding<br />

area, if there were enough time. <strong>The</strong> 70°<br />

steep first drop gives an intensive airtime feeling<br />

especially in the back seats. A good amount of airtime<br />

comes also on the first twisted camelback and<br />

on the second, which is right next to the station. <strong>The</strong><br />

second part of the ride contains a highly banked<br />

turn, two helix elements, two small camelbacks,<br />

and an inline twist as finale.<br />

Those who have already ridden “Blue Fire” at<br />

Europa <strong>Park</strong> already know that Mack found a very<br />

special way to design this element, to give the feeling<br />

of being thrown out of the train with an unbelievable<br />

amount of power that can even be a bit<br />

uncomfortable. “<strong>The</strong> Storm” gives the exact same<br />

feelings but with the rotation in the opposite direction<br />

and slightly less power making it perfectly<br />

enjoyable. To increase the scenic effect even more,<br />

the sound of a loud thunder is heard just as the train<br />

enters the inversion.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Storm” uses two trains with four cars for a total<br />

of 16 passengers each. <strong>The</strong>se trains, thanks to the<br />

unique lap bar system used, are extremely<br />

comfortable and due to their short length, can<br />

perform tight manoeuvres without losing much<br />

momentum.<br />

Undisputed highlight at<br />

Etnaland is the Megalite coaster<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Storm” from Mack Rides<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Storm” draws<br />

attention in particular due to<br />

many unusual ride figures<br />

85


Although the individual<br />

attractions are yet to be<br />

themed, there are no clear<br />

divisions between the<br />

individual theme areas<br />

<strong>The</strong> theming suddenly changes into an extra terrestrial<br />

environment characterized by strange rock<br />

formations and filled with craters, right next to “<strong>The</strong><br />

Storm”. This land is called “Galaxia”, and is the<br />

home of two flat rides produced by Zamperla: the<br />

24 seat Disk’O “Quasar”, and “Vortigo”, an attraction<br />

of type “Wind Share”.<br />

Finally, for the younger audience, there is a whole<br />

area called “Sogni di Ciclopino” that can be translated<br />

as “Dreams of Ciclopino”. Ciclopino and his<br />

female counterpart Ciclopina are the two Etnaland<br />

main characters. In this land there are seven<br />

attractions, all from Zamperla, among them a Junior<br />

Coaster called “Hip Hop Coaster”, and “Ciclopina’s<br />

Tower”, which is a Jumpin’ Tower, and “Billow<br />

Balloon”, a panoramic balloon ride.<br />

Overall Etnaland has a great balance. Although the<br />

theming on many attractions was missing or incomplete,<br />

this is not too bad, considering that all,<br />

with the exception of the 4D movie theatre, were in<br />

operation from the very first day. Finally, thanks to<br />

its location, some very unique attractions and a<br />

large water park, a visit to Etnaland is highly recommended,<br />

and for sure will not be regretted! ■<br />

WATERPARK<br />

<strong>The</strong> highest water<br />

slide in Europe has been<br />

located at PortAventura<br />

Resort since the 18 th May<br />

2013<br />

After the Italian investment<br />

group InvestIndustrial took<br />

over 50% of the PortAventura<br />

Resort in December 2009 (in<br />

2012 the other half was<br />

purchased from the Spanish<br />

bank Criteria CaixaHolding), an<br />

80 million Euro upgrade was<br />

undertaken within four years of<br />

operation of the park, in order<br />

to make it one of the most important<br />

theme park destinations<br />

in Europe.<br />

Text & Photos: Frank Lanfer<br />

<strong>The</strong> opening of the Costa<br />

Caribe Aquatic <strong>Park</strong> took place<br />

with invited guests, among<br />

them Thomas Mack with<br />

partner Ekaterina Petrakova<br />

from Europa-<strong>Park</strong><br />

Costa Caribe<br />

<strong>The</strong> water park that opened in 2002<br />

(see KPR 8/2002) has now the stately<br />

proportions of 14,000 square metres<br />

on nearly five hectares, and contains<br />

16 different slides and various pools<br />

Already in 2010 an 11 million Euro packet with a total water surface of 8,500 square metres,<br />

began, for amongst others, the attraction “4D including the new family pool “Playa Paraíso” –<br />

Odysea” and a new Ice Revue. In 2011 the 13,000 which – very unusual for a water park – is explicitly<br />

square metre sized kid’s theme area “Sésamo- intended for swimming and for relaxing, or also for<br />

Aventura” was created for 19 million Euro. In 2012, synchronised swimming as happened on the<br />

the sum of 30 million Euro was available for opening day. Directly nearby is the new and also<br />

amongst others the highest coaster in Europe, large kiddie pool “Sésamo Beach” with a water<br />

“Shambhala”. And this year the investment offensive<br />

of around 10 million Euro saw another visible the “Galeón Pirata” with a Sesame Street theme.<br />

depth between 30 and 50 centimetres, as well as<br />

highlight with the extension of the existing water Further along there are also the 6-lane mat racer<br />

park.<br />

“Rapid Race”, the new snack bar “Focacceria”<br />

88


and the “Happyness Station”. All the new slides<br />

were supplied by the Canadian manufacturer<br />

ProSlide.<br />

<strong>The</strong> main attraction of the extended park water<br />

area are the 19.6 metre high Doubledown slide<br />

“Ciclón Tropical”, and the highest water slide in<br />

Europe by the name of “King Khajuna” visible from<br />

afar. In actual fact even the highest in the world<br />

was in planning earlier, however the realized<br />

attraction at 31 metres is completely sufficient. As<br />

it is, it has been proved that most bathing guests<br />

prefer to watch how the braver amongst them –<br />

and that’s a manageable number – slide down the<br />

55° steep slide at up to six metres per second. A<br />

world record slide that had been planned years<br />

ago as the “Volcano” would have without a doubt<br />

had even less participants. Not adequate however<br />

is the fact that this exciting attraction due to its<br />

height has received no theming at all. <strong>The</strong> realisation<br />

of the planned design of the “Volcano”,<br />

which would have fitted well to the overall<br />

Caribbean theming of the water park, would have<br />

been preferable.<br />

Interview with Fernando Aldecoa<br />

Already at the end of 2008 the first announcements<br />

were made that the water park was<br />

to be extended. Was this step long overdue?<br />

Following the entrance of the Italian investors,<br />

the focus was initially on other areas, but the extension<br />

of our water park was a<br />

done deal. Water parks are a<br />

summer business, which does<br />

not affect our small indoor area.<br />

Costa Caribe is open for 150<br />

days, however in the main season<br />

it simply was too small to<br />

cope with a growing number of<br />

visitors year after year. Now we<br />

have reached a capacity of<br />

6,500 guests, who can all be in<br />

the water park at the same time.<br />

Earlier it was only 4,500.<br />

But in actual fact the park<br />

wanted to realize the highest<br />

slide in the world.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n the water slide would have to have been<br />

at least 44 metres high. In the end we found that<br />

to be too much of a good thing, and it wouldn’t<br />

have fitted to our family public. And with 31 metres<br />

we could still achieve a new European record.<br />

<strong>The</strong> four-year plan made directly after the<br />

takeover runs out in 2014. Is a new attraction<br />

planned for next year?<br />

We will be constructing a new family attraction.<br />

And what is coming after the 80 million<br />

Euro charm-offensive?<br />

We are already working on another multi-year<br />

plan. <strong>The</strong> anniversary year 2015 will be particularly<br />

exciting. PortAventura will be 20 years<br />

business economist and has<br />

worked for PortAventura since<br />

1994. He began as Operations<br />

Manager, and since 2010 is<br />

young, and we will be erecting an attraction that<br />

will once again be a highlight in Europe.<br />

And those that do exist, for example Parque<br />

Warner or Terra Mitíca, are in the red. Why?<br />

In 2012 InvestIndustrial took over all<br />

shares, but not the huge surrounding lands.<br />

Are there still enough grounds for your own extensions?<br />

<strong>The</strong> total 825 hectares that once belonged to<br />

PortAventura Resort were never marked as a<br />

structure plan for an active theme park. Many<br />

areas were always planned to be used for recreation<br />

and residence. And as far as we are concerned:<br />

we still have 69 hectares available for future<br />

expansion.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are in comparison to Germany, England,<br />

and the Benelux few large theme parks.<br />

<strong>The</strong>me parks in Spain are a new phenomena<br />

when compared to those in the mentioned countries.<br />

Modern parks have existed only since the<br />

opening of PortAventura in 1995. In this country<br />

there is no other park that has over one million<br />

visitors annually. However in order to exist and to<br />

invest, one needs two million at the very least. Very<br />

important was the expansion of a one-day park to<br />

multiple day resort, but no other Spanish park has<br />

undertaken this. Insofar we have no competition<br />

in Catalonia, are unique in Spain, and are an attractive<br />

holiday destination in Europe. Disneyland<br />

offers fantasy worlds, and other parks thrill in particular.<br />

But we have the best mixture of attractions,<br />

shows, and theming in the whole of Europe. ■<br />

talk of a tower with a total<br />

height of 101 m. Furthermore<br />

the attraction named<br />

world novelty! After the<br />

CHIMELONG WATERPARK<br />

With 1.9 million guests, it’s the most visited<br />

water park in the world – no wonder, as the park<br />

has every thinkable slide speciality at its disposal<br />

from various manufacturers.<br />

But the “<strong>The</strong>me Kids Water Town” is also nothing to<br />

sneeze at, and has a respectable 42 varied water<br />

slides and attractions. For the current increase, a<br />

novelty will be added from Turkish manufacturer<br />

Polin: the world’s first “Boomerang” slide for children!<br />

Whilst a large version of “Family Boomerang”<br />

from WhiteWater was erected exactly a year ago,<br />

all small water park visitors are enjoying this<br />

attractive and nippy amusement since the end of<br />

May. Children from a height of 100 cm are already<br />

allowed to use the “Mini-Turbolance” (accompanied<br />

by an adult). This water slide also entices due<br />

to its especially successful colour scheme. ■
