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 />

themselves to the Kiliani event,<br />
consists of Alexander Hoffmann,<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 />

In addition to your job as showman spokesman, you are an<br />

A lot, and if we were able to add to our tight budget, we would do<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 />

through the skies this year. With the “Südseewellen”<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 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> 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 />

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 />

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 />

<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 />

<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. ■

Fun House on the British<br />
Isles<br />
Waltzer, Dodgems, Miami, Twist<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 />
60
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 />

Gilbert Snr have a formidable track record in the<br />

them.<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 />
front of the main trailer to increase the walkthrough<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 />
<strong>Park</strong> Revue recently happened to<br />
come across the ride, operated by<br />
the family’s son, Gorden Andrich,<br />
at the Spring Fair in Senftenberg<br />
in the south of Brandenburg.<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 />

"<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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

A new freefall tower similar<br />
in construction to the 75 m<br />
high freefall attraction<br />
from Mosers Rides that<br />
opened at Busch Gardens<br />
Williamsburg in 2011 was<br />
actually announced for<br />
2013.<br />
But now it is to be a year<br />
later. However, it’s not only<br />
the opening year that has<br />
changed, but also the technical<br />
data, as now there’s<br />
talk of a tower with a total<br />
height of 101 m. Furthermore<br />
the attraction named<br />
“Falcon’s Fury” will be a<br />
world novelty! After the<br />
round gondola reaches<br />
around 91 m, the seat will tip<br />
forward to 90° – more specifically<br />
the feet will lift upwards<br />
– similar as on a Flying<br />

60 mph speedy drop follows,<br />
with a line of vision towards<br />
the ground. It is, if one<br />
likes, the world’s first Flying<br />
Freefall Tower – fitting to the<br />
chosen theme of the raptor<br />

CHIMELONG WATERPARK<br />
With 1.9 million guests, it’s the most visited<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. ■
