HULLY GULLY
Ludwig Roder from
Karlsruhe has purchased a
“Hully Gully”
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
Showman Ludwig Roder from Karlsruhe has
taken over a “Hully Gully”, which he presented at
the Easter Market in Karlsruhe for the first time.
The showman, who also tours a dodgem track, a
kiddie ride, a crêpe stall and an American ice stall,
had been searching for a family ride for some time.
He finally hit it lucky on the internet, where Oldenburg
showman Meinecke offered the Mack classic,
built in 1968, for sale. Once they struck the deal,
the transports (one centre trailer and one baggage
van) quickly rolled from the north to the south. To
waste no time, the restoration of the centrepiece
started immediately on its arrival at the premises,
where it was sandblasted and newly painted. The
electronic system was also overhauled and the
motor, the hydraulic system and the gearing were
upgraded to the latest standard, or replaced. Finally,
the attraction was successfully certified by the
TÜV.
Ludwig Roder also plans to make a number of
changes to enhance the visual appearance of the
family ride, such as re-mounting the canvas between
the light strips on the rotating member and
the gondolas, and repainting the backflash. Further
venues this year will be at, among others
events, Oftersheim, Sandhausen, Kehl, Oberkirch
and Laudenbach. The ride has ground measurements
of 18 x 18 metres, is 6.70 metres high and
accommodates a maximum of 40 people per ride.
This “Hully Gully” may well not be completely unknown
in this region, as some years ago the showman
Spagerer had presented the ride at small and
medium sized events throughout the region, before
finally parting with it after many years of service,
and selling the “Hully Gully” to a purchaser in the
north of the country.

BOOSTER MAXXX
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
It almost seems as if collecting giant propellers has
been the new hobby of the French showman Gregory
Kopp from Cannes for several months now. The
“Airmaxx” (Capriolo) and the “Maxximum 2” (Capriolo
10) that he purchased last year have now been
followed by the third example; a “Booster Maxxx”,
which he presented in Nancy for the first time.
While the first two constructions are of Dutch origin, the
new propeller was built by the Italian manufacturer
Fabbri, which also built the 55-metre towering ride for
the Denis-Kipp showman enterprise. All that the nice
Frenchman said when asked how the takeover of the
“Booster Maxx” came about, was that everything had
happened so fast that before he was even aware of it,
he was the new owner of the giant propeller! For the
time being, he does not intend to part with any of his
rides to accommodate the newcomer.
From Nancy, the “Booster Maxxx” will travel to Metz,
Strasbourg and Mulhouse, where it was heralded as a
novelty. At the forthcoming venues it will be joined by
the “Maxximum 2”, on which the gondolas can be rotated
on their own axis. It may well prove to be a novelty
in itself that one and the same showman operates two
propeller attractions on one fairground. With the “Booster
Maxxx”, the “Bomber Maxxx” and the “V-Maxxx”,
three structurally identical constructions from Fabbri
are now touring throughout France. Gregory Kopp
parted with his “Swinger” some time ago though. The
Wave-Swinger from Zierer has been only rarely presented
lately.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We received a response
from a reader relating to the
‘A Look Forward’ article on
the Osterkirmes in Iserlohn
in the April issue which,
among other issues, dealt
with the poor condition of the
site. Mr Christian Maletz,
member of the “Gesellschaft
der Circusfreunde e.V.” (Association
of Circus Friends),
Schwabach observes that;
“It is not always the circuses
that are responsible for the
deplorable condition of the
site; many of these enterprises
meticulously keep the
site clean. However, not all
of them do so!
Text: Michael Petersen
According to tradition, the general meeting of the
Düsseldorf Showman Association was held at the
“Schlüssel” brewery. In the very medieval city centre,
the 51 members entitled to vote elected Oscar
Bruch Jnr. as their new Chairman. With Oscar
Bruch Jnr. receiving 26 votes, only one vote more
than Bruno Schmelter, the incumbent Chairman of
32 years, the election turned out to be extremely
close and marked the end of a long era.
Ever since the tender age of 18, Bruno Schmelter has
been on the board, stepping in for both his female and
male colleagues throughout the past 50 years. During
his term in office he often used blunt words which a
particular showman, Schütze, politician or some such
other personage did not care to hear! Now it is Oscar
Bruch Jnr.'s turn, a Chairman with good connections
to the Düsseldorf 'body politic'. This is a big advantage
in terms of coping with many minor and major problems
in the Düsseldorf calendar of events. The very
first issue to arise after the election was the organisation
of the Osterkirmes on the Staufenplatz and the
Frühlingskirmes on Tonhallenufer held on the banks of
the Rhine. According to Oscar Bruch Jnr., there is also
need for action with regard to the many minor Schützenfest
events, which are no longer particularly lucrative
for the showmen. For this reason, the Christmas
Markets are growing increasingly important for local
showman enterprises. As a result, Oscar Bruch Jnr. recognises
a need for action also as far as the Düsseldorf
Christmas Markets are concerned. As the Stuttgart
event agency, which took over the organisation of
the notably strong-turnover Christmas Market on
Schadowplatz from the Düsseldorf Marketing Tourismus
Agency last year, is currently gathering applications
for this year’s Christmas Market, the new
chairman demands that Düsseldorf showmen should
be given priority in the approval procedure. After all,
the future of a number of showmen is at stake, as in the
long run no showman can survive on the revenue from
the minor Schützenfest events and the large Rheinwiese
Fair alone.
We wish Oscar Bruch Jnr. great success as Chairman
of the Düsseldorf showmen and thank Bruno Schmelter
for his excellent cooperation with our editors. ■
AMERICAN FLYER
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
Year by year, for lovers of exotic rides it becomes
increasingly worthwhile visiting the Bochum
Osterkirmes. Following last year's surprising appearance
of a “Sprungschanze”, or Flying Coaster,
this year visitors were able to admire and try out a
hand-built ride from the former GDR.
Sven Feldmann from Plettenberg surprised the
public with a presentation of the “Flyer” round ride
he took over from the showman Mario Kühn from
Weinböhla in the Meißen district some time ago.
In the early 1980s, the ride was built by engineer
Holger Hölzel from Neugersdorf in Upper Lusatia,
in accordance with his own ideas and specifications.
At that time, the construction was strongly
influenced by the “Twister” rides from the VEB
Zentralzirkus, highly popular in the GDR. On completion,
the exotic ride was introduced
at the Spring Festival in
Bautzen in 1981. Four years later,
it was sold to showman Steffen
Heinze from Oderwitz, who founded
his own showman enterprise
with this ride. Since 1992, Mario
Kühn has been touring the construction
mainly in the Dresden
region. This season, Sven Feldmann
will present the ride with its
pleasant and unspectacular ride
pattern mainly at smaller Volksfest
events in North-Rhine Westphalia
and the Sauerland. Further information
about this homemade
ride can be looked up in the
special publication “Schausteller
und Volksfeste der DDR”. ■

AWARD
Text & Photo: Ralf Schmitt
The “Bretzel” (pretzel) from the Hamburg Grimmer
family has recently been awarded the "Silberner
Preis", or Silver Award of the DLG (German Agriculture
Society).
The Grimmer Bretzel was thoroughly checked according
to the strict testing and quality criteria of the DLG.
The inspection was carried out by experts from the
ICE AGE
Text & Photo: Ralf Schmitt
The long winter has also affected the spring Volksfest
events.
In fact, almost all spring events had to cope with
lower numbers of visitors. Due to enduring freezing
temperatures, a number of sectors had to close down
or could not even open at all. This was the case with
regard to, among other sectors, the water rides,
where ice floated in the water course instead of passenger
boats. Funhouse constructions with water
effects were not working either. Moreover, flower
fields of science, inspection, food industry and handicraft
– without being aware of the manufacturer, brand
or purchase price. This is why DLG tests are considered
to be scientifically up-to-date, independent and impartial.
The official certificate for the bretzel has already
found a place of honour in the travelling “Bretzelbäckerei”
from the Grimmer family, and many congratulations
on the award can also be found on the
showman family’s Facebook page.

lotteries could not open for a while as the plants would
surely have frozen solid. Particularly tragically affected
were the 300 artists at Robert Birk's flea circus. On
its way to the Easter appearance at the “Jahrmarkt
anno Dazumal” on the Rhine open air museum in
Kommern, the fleas froze to death in their polystyrene
pet carrier.

The Verkehrsverein in
Speyer has thought up
something special for
this year’s Brezelfest
(11 th to 16 th July): they
wish to achieve an entry
into the Guinness Book
of World Records.
On the largest Volksfest in
Oberrhein on the 13 th of
July there are to be as
many women as possible
dressed in the traditional
Dirndl. The outfit must
comprise of a bodice and
a skirt (one or two piece),
and blouse and apron. The
current world record
stands at 1,176 participants
who attended the
Gäubodenvolksfest in
Straubing.
The strict regulations have
been defined by the London
firm “Guinness World
Records” and have to be
adhered to, or the record
attempt will not be acknowledged.

DIE VERRÜCKTE FARM

Interior view – fun for both
young and old
Text: Nils Benthien

At the Frühlingsjahrmarkt in Osnabrück, held from
15 th to 24 th March this year, the showman family Cornelius
from Wallenhorst celebrated the successful
première of their newly purchased 3-level Funhouse
“Die verrückte Farm”. The attraction offers
fun for both young and old all around a farm theme.
“Die Verrückte Farm” is the first Walkthrough construction
built by the WOATT Rides firm from Worms.
While the draft came from the Elfering firm, the Atelier
Siefert Company was responsible for its realisation.
Moreover, the Dröge firm provided the electrical equipment,
installing only LED lights. The construction has
ground measurements of 18 x 4 metres and is 11
metres high. A total of 20 effects have been installed
along the obstacle course that visitors have to negotiate
inside the construction.
At the start, the course leads visitors through a rolling
barrel (which can also be bypassed), a stylised car
wash, brave a moving staircase, a tilting moving floor,
rolling belts, and work their way past punching balls,
across a number of rotating discs, a moving bridge, a
suspension bridge and a Toboggan slide! Later this
season, additional air and water effects, soap bubbles
and fog are to be installed inside the construction,
which consists of two wagons. While one of them is incorporated
into the construction, the second one holds
the paybox and the slide.
This year, “Die verrückte Farm” will also be presented
at, among others venues, in Lower Saxony, Hessen
and North-Rhine Westphalia; for example, at the Volksfest
events in Bruchhausen-Vilsen and Ibbenbüren. In
addition, the Cornelius family will continue to operate
the “Around the World” Ferris Wheel.

Among the novelties evoking great enthusiasm
at Volksfest events in 2013 will also be the compact
Looping Coaster “Cobra” from Angelo
Agtsch. A detailed report on the construction’s
launch into the season will be published in the next
Kirmes & Park Revue edition. Here are some
photos from its first venue, the Palmkirmes in Recklinghausen.

REGENSBURG
These days, Regensburg has some
180,000 residents and just as many inhabitants
throughout the surrounding
region. After Munich, Nürnberg, and Augsburg,
Regensburg is the fourth largest city
in the Free State of Bavaria. It is the capital
of the Upper Palatinate district and has
been a UNESCO World Heritage Site
since 2006. In this interview, Reinhard Kellner
introduces, among other factors, the
attractions at the May Dult event.
Did you want to be Fairground
Director way back then and play a substantial
part in organising the Dult
event?
Yes and no. As food inspector I seemed
to meet the job description. Over the
years, my popularity of and understanding
for the world of showmen and marketers
has steadily increased – this could be
taken as “yes”. “No”, as I guessed how
much of an administrative workload was
involved.
How did you get this job?
As my predecessor was no longer
available all of a sudden, I was entrusted
with the organisation of the Autumn Dult
1993 ten days before the start of the event.
I was thrown in at the deep end and had
to learn quickly how to “swim”.
Do you regret the last twenty
years?
Reinhard Kellner (photo) works
for the Regensburg City Authorities
in the Department for Public
Policy and Transport. For precisely
20 years, he has been fairground
director at the two Regensburg
Dult events in early
May and in late August.
Not for a second! All in all, I am highly
satisfied with my job and do it with passion,
even though the administrative workload
is much greater now than I would ever
have guessed. The Dult events are an essential
part of my life and, to be honest,
preoccupy my mind the whole year round.
What other tasks do you have?
Text: Helmut Bresler

A lot of other events are held on the
Dult site, such as circus appearances, flea
markets, exhibitions, or car and truck driving
and safety trainings. Moreover, there
are the municipal markets, and not to forget
the Christmas Market - the highlight of
the Advent season.

Which of the two Dult events is the most popular one?
Basically, both events are equally popular, at least with the visitors.
The May Dult is noticeably more coveted among the showmen though.
This is due to the lack of competition from other events and the public's
longing for outdoor activities after the long winter break. This year, the
event will even be extended to 18 days and will already be opened on
Thursday, 9 th May, Christi Ascension Day.
What is the origin of the Regensburg Dult events?
The Dult events in the city district of Stadtamhof were first documented
in 1398. Thus they are more than three times as old as the Munich
Wiesn and will celebrate their 625 th anniversary next year. For me, there
is truth in the saying “Tradition does not mean preserving the ashes but
keeping the flame alight”. The locations changed and the last serious
change was made in 1972, when the events were moved to the current
location – the Regensburg Dult site with the characteristic triangular
square on the bank of the Danube.
55 Meter
100 km/h
What do you remember in particular?
For example, the opening of the May Dult 20 years ago. It was the
first appearance of the beer tent patron family Hahn, and after the tapping
of the keg, the Jetzendorf Hinterhofmusikanten gave a concert. In the
beginning, their rustic style and their music played rather by metric value
rather than by notes came as a big surprise. But in the end, they captured
the audience in the tent and it was a fantastic evening. An exceptional
spectacle was the world première of the “Free-Fall-Tower” from the
Michael Goetzke family at the Autumn Dult 1997. The whole industry
watched Regensburg anxiously.
How many applications do you receive?
It is hard work for the postman – meanwhile we can choose from
some 1,000 applications for both events.

The Dult at night
The offer is well-received by the Dult visitors.
How many visitors do you have?
Which novelties will be presented at the
Regensburg May Dult?
I am not a fan of astronomically large visitor
numbers. We attach much importance to a good
family-friendly Dult and our participants are handpicked.
In beautiful weather, visitors at each Dult
outnumber locals by far. The event is highly popular
in the surrounding region, and visitors come from a
radius of up to 100 kilometres, as can be seen from
the vehicle licence plates.
Due to increasing visitor attendance, further toilet
facilities have been arranged for, even though the
number has already been steadily stepped up in the
last few years.
A whole lot – four attractions will celebrate their
première; namely the “Booster Maxxx” from Hoefnagels-Denis,
the “Flip Fly” over-the-top ride from Thomas
Clauß, the “Rio Rapidos” water ride from Siegfried
Kaiser Jnr., and the “Bootsfahrt” from Sascha
Barth for our young visitors. After a break of more than
10 years, I also consider the “Super Mario World”
glass maze from Hubert Markmann as a novelty. The
“Show and Fun” sector will be represented by the
“Geisterschloss” including animation from Kunz, and
the “Lach & Freu Haus” from Geno Distel. But that is
not all…

Will you continue to present classics?
Of course, they are highly popular and simply an indispensable
must. Textbook examples are, among
others, the dodgem track from Hanna Lindner and Willenborg’s
tall Ferris Wheel. They simply cannot be left out.
I myself prefer sitting in a Willenborg Ferris Wheel gondola,
enjoying the magnificent view across the Dult
and the city. Moreover, the new perspective often
gives rise to new ideas.
What is the importance of the adjoining
market?
Which culinary delicacies will be offered at the
Dult?
The culinary offering will leave nothing to be desired.
In addition to the ample variety of food offered
by snack booths, there will be the two large tents from
Hahn Glöckl, along with three fish stall from Fisch Maier,
Hofmeister, and Schmalzl, as well as the “Amigos”
Steakhouse from Balanowski. Moreover, the Kübler
firm will invite the public to its “Bierdorf” and live music
will also be offered inside “Bauers Weinstadl”.
The combination of the commodity market with the
fairground is something special, as Volksfest events
often present only showman attractions along with the
beer tents and snack booths. As is tradition, the Regensburg
Dult events focus on the sales stalls on the
commodity market though, offering first-class quality
at reasonable prices, convincing novelties and trends,
and competent expert service. As a result it has
achieved local and regional importance.
Who is in charge of advertising?
Which ride do you prefer – Ferris Wheel or
Break-Dance?
While Goetzke’s Break-Dance is a modern
classic ride and highly popular with young people,
Our experts, the “Werbegemeinschaft der Regensburger
Dulten” with Michael Frank, publican Michael
Hahn, Isidora Hörmandinger, and beer tent patron Alfred
Glöckl. They press every button and regularly come up
with new ideas in addition to the standard programme.
17

SPECIAL
What will be on offer?
An ample selection including the festival procession,
two fireworks displays, Ladies Night, two Family
Days and two Senior's Days, as well as the popular
Dultmaus chips. Moreover, the Dult bus will go every
20 minutes from the spacious car park to the Dult-fairground
again. This is a free service we offer to the
visitors.
Seit 30 Jahren
ein bewährter
Partner
What is most important for you at the Dult?
A family-friendly layout and a harmonious mixture
offering something for all age groups – in a safe
surrounding. We do not want to offer a binge-drinking
party atmosphere, but rather a classic, first-class
Volksfest event. This includes high-quality ride attractions
and entertainments, as well as food and drinks.
Will the Dult event remain a municipal event?
A view over the household
goods market (Warendult)
Of course it will, and the city authorities will continue
to be the organiser, with the Department for
Public Policy being in overall charge. I always say:
“Security and public order is not all, but without security
and public order, everything is nothing." ■

City of Erlangen
It is a phenomenon, an indescribable
cult event that is unique throughout
Germany. The Erlangen Bergkerwa is
unparalleled in the ample selection of
Volksfest and Schützenfest events,
parish fairs and village festivals. Introduced
in 1755, the Berg event has put
up a brave fight for two and a half
centuries, and is more popular than
ever these days. There are two essential
elixirs of life that keep it young at heart;
namely the university and the Siemens
firm. Those who have been to Erlangen
once, no matter on what occasion and
smelled the aroma in the beer cellars
will surely return at Pentecost, and without
bothering with an entry in their
laptops or diaries. They simply 'feel it';
Pentecost means Berg – full stop!
It is all happening at the Berg, and visitors
who are to attend are faced with a
difficult question at the end of Bergstrasse,
“Do we turn right or left this
year”? Those turning left, will find themselves
in an endless beer paradise;
while those turning right will enter an
amusement area with numerous ride
attractions, among them a Ferris
Wheel, shooting galleries and Continental
pick stands; all in all some 100
operations. Nine hundred people work
at the Berg, one of the largest traditional
events in Bavaria, looking after more
than 1 million expected visitors from all
over the world. A total of 15,000 seats
are waiting for crowds of visitors so that
more than 5,000 hectolitres of beer
might once again have been served by
the end of the event. Now it is time to
drain the beer steins! In other words –
the Berg event is about to open for the
258th time, and with a special novelty
in addition to all this. For the first time,
the traditional tapping of the keg in
“Dinkel’s Frankendorf” will be carried
out with Kitzmann Bier. Welcome!
For more information:
www.der-berg-ruft.de
The Bergkirchweih introduced in 1755
numbers among the oldest Volksfest
events in Germany. Actually, it dates
back even further into the past. In the
late 17 th century, the first rock-cut cellars
of the breweries were built at the
foot of the Burgberg. Due also to students’
reports, the Bergkirchweih
evolved into a popular beer festival
enjoying cult status in the middle of
the 19 th century, attracting visitors
from Nürnberg and Fürth even back
then. Despite interruption during the
two World Wars, the “Berg” steadily
developed into an event where these
days visitors far outnumber the Erlangen
locals.
19

It was a game of life and death – and a true Berg
motif from the 1970s. A very special sensation,
always besieged by the public was the “Krokodil
Ringkampf”, or crocodile wrestling match,
with showman Helmuth Schulze as “Carello”,
fearless artist much-vaunted in the parade,
plunging into the water – and surviving! The
highlight and final was the presentation of his
own head in the dangerous jaws of the huge
saurian.
For a good decade, there has been a new tradition
at the Berg – on Carnival Sunday its most
loyal fans meet at the cellar, bringing beer and a
snack, looking forward to the tapping of the keg
on the Thursday before Pentecost. By the way,
this ceremony is held in any weather – as a general
rule it is snowy and freezing temperatures.
The “Berg and wine”; this is simply a must! For
the fourth time this year, Sabine (r.) and Nadja
Kunstmann (l.) will present their “Erlanger Berghütt’n”.
They take the juice of the vine from its hiding
place and put it into the centre of their operation.
Oh yes, - wine works up an appetite, which
is why they serve freshly baked Flammkuchen, or
Tarte Flambé, in numerous variations.
It is not really possible to name the most celebrated
duties of the Erlangen Lord Mayor at the
Bergkirchweih. One may just as well ask for the
best drop of beer being filtered out of a 100-
litre barrel.
"At the end of the day, all duties at our 'Berg' are
fun. Despite all the cheerfulness, my duties are
not only mere fun far from the city hall. They also
include serious and important discussions, for
example with the representative from the
Ministry of Finance about changing the
abandoned US military base into a modern
future suburb that took place some time ago."
Armin Mangold (r.) is the new municipal Berg
organiser, supported by Ina Baus-Böwing (l.).
Currently contributing their long-term experience
are Ute Völklein and Werner Schachameyer.
The Erlangen Road Traffic Licensing
Department and the Public Order Office are in
charge of organising the Berg event. From more
than 500 applications received, the 100 most
appealing attractions from all over Germany
were chosen.
The Berg goes wild – in the Erlangen pubs from
midnight on, this is guaranteed. The Berg is disqualified
as to being the aperitif for a long party
night by spending money in the pubs not at the
Berg event. At 10 a.m. the fairground is deserted,
and when it's hustling and bustling 10.30
p.m. it is not long before it has to close. These
two contradictory aspects are hardly harmonious.
It is high time to take action!
Unique throughout Germany is the invention by
Erlangen showman Hans-Dieter Schultze who,
thrilled by the park version of the Domino at the
Vienna Prater, worked diligently for a long time to
create a transportable version. A preview was
made at the Bamberg Frühjahrsplärrer 1985, before
the ride made its official première at the Berg
event. Under the management of the showman
Heinrich Michel from Hessen, the ride has been
successfully operated abroad for many years.
20

The way up the Bergstrasse whets the appetite
for happy beer drinking and ride fun. The public
gets properly attuned to the Berg from the Schützenweg
at the latest, where it is blinking and
glittering, and one can clearly read: The Berg is
calling! Schweizer’s Knusperhaus is the perfect
entrance gate. Adolf Schweizer had originally
come up with the idea for the effective theme,
and now his son Werner Schweizer is in charge.
Play a fanfare! The very beginning was in 1948,
when Fritz and Maria Liebermann sold fried sausages
and fish rolls to the Erlangen public at the
entrance to the Berg fairground. Today they sell
chicken and hocks at the Altstädter Schießhaus;
to describe the quality would be similar to carrying
coals to Newcastle. Congratulations to Fritz
and Annette Stahlmann on their 65 th Berg
Anniversary from Berg spokesman Konrad Beugel
(m.).
The flag consecration ceremony took place at the
BLV-Delegiertentag, of the Bavarian Showman
Association, in Erlangen in January 1995. Willy
Kunstmann (l.) and Ludwig Keppner (r.) proudly
present the new showpiece.
Oktoberfest at the Berg. Two publicans drink to
the Berg’s success, and are decidedly pleased
with the unique ambience, marvelling at how
smooth the operation has been even under
stress. They want to return: Wiggerl Hagn from
the Löwenbräu beer tent (r.) and Peter Schottenhamel
from the Schottenhamel tent to his left.
Erlangen – during Pentecost.
As space was limited, it had to be measured to
the very millimetre to plan the attraction for
Erlangen conditions.
What fits perfectly to Erlangen is also good for
Nürnberg, Schweinfurt, Würzburg, Rosenheim
and Munich, thought Heini Schäfer, and commissioned
his ride at the Schwarzkopf firm in
Münsterhausen, Swabia. His plan worked out
well. “Die Geister bitten zur Kasse” was presented
at the Berg and enjoyed huge success
for many years.
Erich Reim (2 nd f.l.) has shaped the Berg as no one
else before or since. As a civil servant at the Erlangen
city authorities he has taken care of many
details, and with his vision he has stamped his
own distinctive mark on the Berg event. The
credit for the ride site at the end, and the toilet
facilities in the middle of the area, as well as the
underground power supply, go to him. Some
years ago he was awarded the Federal Cross of
Merit, among other honours, due to his numerous
voluntary commitments; well and truly deserved!
Yet he has always been extremely modest about
this conspicuous recognition.
Exactly 30 years ago, after continuous rain and
freezing temperatures at Pentecost, the Bergkirchweih
1983 was extended for the first time in
its history. The public split into two camps –
traditionalists vehemently opposed an extension,
declaring it “outrageous”, whereas
more open-minded Berg fans were happy
about two additional days of operation and encouraged
a general extension of the Kerwa.
Almost 50 years ago, a Munich showman was
interested in a site at the Berg event. Heini Schäfer
was determined to have a special Ghost Ride
built, which he wanted to present at the strongest
turnover fairground throughout Germany –
No easy terrain – the Berg.
Too narrow, too steep, too lopsided? No
problem! What does not fit is made to fit. This
has also been the case with Werner Rudolph’s
kiddie rides; fire engine, motorbike and tram
make their rounds reliably.

The Erlangen breweries’ advantage
was decisively due to the rockcut
cellar in the Burgberg, where
they were able to store and mature
their beer at constant low temperatures;
in 1750 there were 14
breweries. When Carl Linde invented
the refrigeration machine in
1876, the advantage of the cellars
was gone, and a reliable export
started to go downhill. Survivors to
this day are the Kitzmann and the
Steinbach brewery.
The Berg – a mass phenomenon.
Yesterday, today, and probably
also tomorrow.
There are only a few events as well
received by all classes of the population;
with Maier sitting next to
Müller, where blue-collar workers,
white-collar workers, and university
professors raise their glasses to
each other and the community is
alive. This was already the case in
the 1960s, when the “Wilde Maus”
wooden coaster was the highlight
at Berg.
The Erlangen dialect poet Hermann
Riedmüller (1903 – 1990)
memorialised the Berg in a poem.
His verses are as current today as
in the late 1950s when he wrote
them, probably drinking a litre of
fresh Kerwa beer during the time.
Die Bergkerwa
Will mer Erlang richti kenna,
muß mer af die Kerwa geh’:
wu die Kellerhaisll stenna,
is’s an Pfingst’n werkli schee.
Alles hockt do beianander,
wu mer her is, des is worscht.
Fremda wer’n si glei bekannter,
alla hab’n s’in gleichn Dorscht.
Voller Freid sin’ aa die Kidner
Un sie plogn die Eltern: „Gell,
nochertla, do derf’n mer ninter,
un dann foahrn mer Karussell!“
Wenn dann obnds die Lichter
brenna
un sie schimmern in die Bam,
konn mer sie halt goar net trenna,
un mer geht nu lang net ham.
Vo die Junga un die Altn
Härt mer nachts nu lang in G’sang
Hoch und heili woll’n mer’s haltn,
unser Kerwa in Erlang!
Even though the legendary Erlangen
publican and restaurateur Toni
Trautner, who strongly shaped and
influenced the Berg event passed
away 21 years ago this summer, he
is still on the mind of many Berg
visitors. The “hen house” in his tent,
the publican’s performance on the
kettledrums, the flower parade, or
– high up on the stage – the emptying
of his special beer mug in one
draught, will always be remembered.
It is high time to pay tribute to
his merits – with the “Toni-Trautner-
Strasse”. It remains to be seen if
the Lord Mayor and the Berg
spokesmen will eventually succeed
in the realisation of this plan.

Attractions & Novelties
Happy Sailor – Manfred Howey
The unrivalled “Happy Sailor” Mack ride from
Manfred Howey is a classic round ride for all
generations.
Lovingly equipped with many details and always
in tip-top shape, it is without a doubt a
feast for the eyes. The singing captain in the entrance
area will once again cause quite a furore.
Attention – please get on board, the next ride is
about to start.
The Tower – Charles Blume: This year, the Berg
novelties will take the visitors high up in the sky.
This is also true for the largest transportable skyscraper
in the world. Charles Blume will build up
his “The Tower” skyscraper in the middle of the
Berg-fairground. The attraction offers, among
other features, superb 3-D-effects, the observation
platform on the ninth floor, the singing rocker
granny, and the lounge on the ground floor. The
large LED video screen in the outside area – and
the Tower is steadily extended. By the way, visitors
are welcomed by Master Salvatore himself.
Power Tower 2 – Ewald Schneider
The tallest Berg-attraction, even taller than the
Ferris Wheel, is the largest transportable Freefall
Tower in the world. The gondola climbs to an
impressive height of 59 metres up into the sky,
before plummeting down towards the ground at
a top speed of 15 m/s. The passenger carriers
can virtually dance – up and down in various
patterns – on their way down the long mast. All
travelling Freefall Towers have already appeared
at the Berg event; this year it will be the best!
Twister – Coaster Edmund Kaiser & Sohn
Every year, the Berg event has to do without a
coaster, as the fairground is simply not suitable
for large constructions. Edmund Kaiser will now
bring a compact track construction for the
whole family to the Berg; namely the Twister.
Please get on board the coaster for a ride along
ascents and descents in rotating gondolas.
Cyber Space – A.E.Kaiser: Loopings without
end, racing through the sky at a top speed of
100 km/h – that’s the “Cyber Space”, providing
visitors with a surge of adrenaline. The Kaiser
family has been tied to the Berg event for decades,
for example with the pony ride at the entrance
to the Berg-fairground, or with the “Night
Fly”, presented a good 10 years ago. This year,
they will introduce another attraction, which will
surely blow the socks off even the most experienced
parachutists, built up on their private site.
It is and remains the Berg-landmark. The 300-
ton “Europa-Rad” takes its passengers up to a
proud 55 metres, from where they have a view
over Franconia Switzerland and the neighbouring
cities of Nürnberg and Fürth, which
seem to be almost within reach. For 24 years,
the Kipp showman family has been a popular

track. In 1959, the Erlangen Kunstman

new, modern constructions to the Berg

at the Berg in 1920 – back then with
a chain ride and a shooting gallery.

PREMIÈRE
New in Germany:
a “Street Fighter” with looping
The first “Street Fighter 16 Revolution”
from the Italian ride
manufacturer Technical Park
from Melara has been more than
well received in Germany – in
every conceivable sense. At the
Palmkirmes in Recklinghausen,
the brand new ride celebrated its
successful première.
Text: Karl Ruisinger
Photos: Heiko Schimanziik, Ralf Schmitt,
The decoration was
modelled on the movie giant
“Hulk”
The Beast
According to its proud owners Alwin and Monika
Zinnecker from Neumarkt St. Veit, it was the
perfect decision to purchase this attraction. Previously,
the Bavarian showman couple (Alwin and
Monika have been together for 32 years, and they
will celebrate their “100th birthday” this year) had
considered the change (or rather “return”) from a
Funhouse (“Geistervilla”) to the thrill attraction as
something of a risk. But now, after the successful
première, they are both relieved and happy to
have started a new chapter of their lives with a
very “young” ride attraction, and at the same
time a new traction unit.
The scepticism of the occasional self-appointed
“experts”, who feared the new and unusual “The
Beast” concept – where every single passenger
can opt for a ride with or without somersaults –
would be hard to realize, proved to be entirely unfounded.
Also immediately working out well was the
build up of the station area and the sign posting of
the access points. They were both so successfully
carried out that there are no problems in organising
the two passenger types (on the one hand thrill
34

Especially the younger
generation took the chance to
go on the 360° trip
seekers opting for somersaults, on the other more
“cautious” swinging friends). Families easily found
their way to 120° of swinging, while more daring
passengers purposefully went for the entrance to
the 360° ride. However, it was noticeable that there
was a predominance of somersaulting passengers
mainly in the evening hours.
As the theme of the attraction – which was awarded
the FKF Cup at its première – was modelled after
the well-known movie blockbuster “Hulk”, shades
of green are the predominant colours of the “The
Beast” combined with a sophisticated LED-light system,
providing the entire construction with a fantastic
atmosphere with the aid of ingenious colour
changes. With this innovative illumination, “The
Beast” takes the top position among the compact
constructions. Its technical data are identical to
those of the prototype, which was introduced as
“High Energy 2” in France last year: 16 passengers,

PREMIÈRE
Première in Cologne: the
third “Inversion” for Germany
The Cologne spring Volksfest
was the première location for
the third major ride of type
“Inversion” from manufacturer
KMG, located in Germany
Text & Photos:
Michael Petersen
Avenger
The Cologne Frühlingsvolksfest was the première
venue for the third type “Inversion” KMG
major ride based in Germany. Thomas Weber from
Herford was the first German showman to decide
to purchase a looping swing of this type, touring
under the name of “Flash”. A short time later, the
Clauß family from Munich ordered an example with
a completely different design, which is touring
under the name of “Flip Fly”. In Cologne, the Holzem
family from Düren has now introduced the
third construction of this type. Indeed, when it be-
38

came known that the Holzem family had ordered
another “Inversion” example, rumours that a scrap
merchant had bought a looping swing quickly
spread, as the name of Holzem could not be
connected to the showman industry. There are a
few facts that stand in contradiction to these
rumours though. It is indeed correct that Dirk Holzem
has successfully operated a scrap and metal
trade for many years. Yet at the same time, Anja
and Dirk Holzem's family has far-reaching roots in
the showman sector.
Their looping swing clearly differs from the two
constructions already touring throughout Germany.
The “Avenger” features a convincing, completely
different and unusual design. Red, blue and
silver are the predominant colours of the attraction.
The entire lighting arrangement perfectly matches
the harmonious, varied and unobtrusive overall
theme of the attraction, which is based on the American
box office hit “The Avengers”. The ride was
discreetly painted by Daniel Geibel, known for his
successful artistic design of a number of Dietz Funhouses.
After its appearance in Cologne, the backflash
is to be equipped with further lighting effects.
The backflash-staff wagon, as well as the paybox,
were built by showman Peter Heinen.
This year, the “Avenger” will be presented at,
among other venues, Bremerhaven, Cuxhaven,
Michelstadt, Berlin, Kassel (Zissel), Aachen,
Oesede, and Mayen.

Wolfsburg 1985:
the first and new Break Dancer
from Dreher-Zarnitz
WOLFSBURG
This year, an XL version of the popular and
largest Schützenfest between the Harz Uplands
and Luneburg Heath will be celebrated in
Wolfsburg – famous for its car manufacturing industry
in Lower Saxony. Due to Easter being early
this year and so with its effect on the other church
holidays, the week of Ascension Day will fall on the
traditional date of the Schützen and Volksfest event
in Wolfsburg, close to Labour Day. As a result, the
planners came up with the idea of extending the
event by three days, and holding the 63 rd Schützen
and Volksfest from 30 th April (Tuesday) to Sunday,
12 th May 2013
Once the Wolfsburg city authorities had approved
the application for a one-time extension of the
traditional event (the 'brainchild' of "Colonel Schützen”,
Rolf Wolters in October 2012), and the realization had
been coordinated with beer tent patron Marris, the
contracted fairground director (and himself a showman)
Peter Vorlop was able to begin with the plans and
approvals for the Volksfest, now lasting thirteen days.
As a “Tanz in den Mai”, or “Dance into May” event has
not been established at the Wolfsburg Schützen and
Volksfest, a pyrotechnic spectacle called “Aller in
Flammen” is now to be held on the opening day, when
attractions will open at 5 p.m. Designed and carried
out by pyrotechnic expert Sven Schneider, this highlight
consisting of a Bengali fireworks display on the
River Aller bank and a volcano effect on an observation
hill nearby, is to entice the public to the
Allerpark. Further additional incentives,
apart from the “affixed” dates such
as Labour Day, Ascension Day
(“Father's Day”) and Mother’s Day will
be a Family Day on Wednesday 8 th
May and a large fireworks display on
Saturday 11 th May 2013.
Advertising measures have been increased
for the Wolfsburg city area
and the surrounding region, and was

advertising partners. As a result, many huge advertising
banners, canvases and more than 200 back-lit
City-Light posters in public spaces and at bus stops
will be set up in the run-up to and during the event.
Inside the festival hall from the Marris firm a changing
music and show programme will be presented, the
highlights being the traditional dinner of the Wolfsburg
Schützengesellschaft e.V., an evening with the show
band “Chari Vari” for Wolfsburg societies and enterprises
on 8 th May, and a varied tent programme on Ascension
Day on 9 th May from 11 a.m. with the Stadtwerke
Wolfsburg AG orchestra and the Austrian folk
music stars “Ladiner” inviting visitors to dance and
entertainment.
Numerous Novelties
Fairground director Peter Vorlop once again succeeded
in putting together a fairground peppered with
numerous novelties in Allerpark this year. The some 65-
metre high double-propeller “Flasher” from the FTE
Ahrend firm will provide visitors with a surge of adrenaline,
just as will the “Artistico” Ferris Wheel from
the Köhrmann family commanding a fantastic view
across the surrounding region,
which will return to Wolfsburg
again after its successful première
tour in 2012. Further fairground
novelties will be the
Funhouse “Freddy’s Company”
from Hofmann-Jehn, the
“Beach-Jumper” from Wegener,
and the “Devil-Dance”
from Welte. The track attraction
sector will be represented
by the “Haunted Mansion”
from Hinzen providing a creepy
atmosphere, Dark Coaster
“Black Hole” from Schierenbeck,
the richly curved “Katz &
Maus” construction from Klünder,
the large “Auf Manitus
Spuren” Water Ride from Heitmann-Schneider,
and the
“Bayern Rutsch'n” from Schierenbeck.
Moreover, the round
rides “Jaguar-Express” from
Konny Ahrend, the “Wellenflug” from Blume, the
double storey horse carousel “Venetian Carousel” from
Langenberg, the “Big Monster” from Krameyer, and
the ageless “Break Dance” from Welte will provide
round ride fun for young and old alike. The “Looping
the Loop” Swing from Marquis will be a “nostalgic
novelty” for Wolfsburg, and the huge Ferris Wheel from
the Hannover Wilhelm firm with new and terrific lighting
effects will tower over the selection of ride and Funhouse
attractions.
Naturally, the “Route 66” dodgem track from P. Vorlop
will not be absent either. Moreover, younger visitors will
be able to enjoy the kiddie rides, namely; “Flying Air
Dance” from Wilhelm, “Fantasialand” from Berweke,
“Teddyland” from Kucklack and the popular “Kinder-
Barockflieger” from Urbigkeit. Furthermore, the successful
and high-quality selection of concession stalls
of all kinds and sectors will provide for a fair event of
special quality at Allerpark.
Thus, one can only hope that beautiful weather will
bring the showmen and the organisers of the Wolfsburg
Schützen and Volksfest 2013 high visitor numbers
and matching turnover after the extremely long
winter.

Dult 1975” at the exhibition

From 18 th to 26 th May, the popular Dult event will be
held in Salzburg again. This year, a special
anniversary will be celebrated; namely the Messezentrum
Salzburg being the venue for the 40 th time.
Apart from markets providing everyday necessities to
Salzburg residents, two traditional fairs, where also
non-resident marketers sold their goods, were held in
the ancient city of Salzburg.
On these historic occasions the Salzburg residents
were able to buy imported goods at favourable prices.
Moreover, the combination in those early years of markets
and fairs with showmen, tightrope artists, jugglers,
bear trainers and puppeteers, as well as tooth pullers
and quack doctors, offered a popular variety.
The autumn Dult, which lives on in “Rupertikirtag”
these days, had its roots in the feast of St. Rupert
celebrated on 24 th September, and was first documented
in 1331. “Tult” was the original term for the
“feast of a Saint”, and its meaning changed into fair or
Volksfest over the course of time. From the 14 th century
on a second fair was held in the Lenten season,
around the day of St. Rupert’s death on 27 th March. This
spring Dult was steadily moved to the warmer season
in the following centuries, evolving into the traditional
“Pfingstdult”.
While the fairgrounds initially spread all around the
cathedral, they were extended to the Alten Markt and
other squares in the medieval city centre later on. In
1856, the Dult was moved to Mirabellplatz before making
its final move to the Neustadt district, and eventually
ceased in 1896 with large Volksfest events taking
its place. In 1924, the Dult was revived for two days as
a large trade exhibition including a Volksfest event and
folklore events on the area of today’s Großes Festspielhaus,
but thereafter it was no longer possible to
stage a Dult fairground in this location due to major
building operations in the Festspiel district.
After the Second World War, the Dult was reopened,
being first held in the Volksgarten (Franz-Josef-Park)
and from 1957 in Baron-Schwarz-Park in Itzling. Apart
from the entertainment industry, firms presenting sales
exhibitions and new products were also represented
at both the Pentecost Dult and the Autumn Dult. The
last Pentecost Dult in Schwarzpark was held in 1969
and enticed 35,000 visitors.
After a five-year break, the Dult was revived by the
“Salzburg Dult” Association in the new exhibition
centre at Glanspitz in Salzburg-Liefering during the
Pentecost period in 1974, with the 50 th anniversary
since the resurrection of the Dult in 1924. As a result,
the 40 th Dult will be celebrated at the Salzburg Messezentrum
this year. The major attractions to be presented
will be given in the "Preview" section in this issue.

SCHRIESHEIM

Warm spring weather
attracted many visitors to the
fairground
After the winter is before the winter! And what
is in between? For a couple of days it was
spring in the midst of climactic confusion, at
least at Bergstraße and on the very day the
region’s first spring festival was held this year.
Yet punctually for the opening day of the 434 th
Mathaisemarkt (1 st to 10 th March), visitors were
able to enjoy sunshine and spring temperatures
(at least by day) on the fairground at the foot
of the Strahlenburg Castle.
The spring weather lasted up until the last opening
day, whereas winter was back one day later,
bringing an end to the short spring interlude.
Nonetheless, the Mathaisemarkt was a great
success as far as visitor numbers and turnover
were concerned. Although there were a couple of
showman operations that, as usual, didn't fare too
well, most of the participants were satisfied with
their financial results at the end of the event. According
to a regional newspaper, visitor numbers in
Schriesheim matched those of previous years.
This may well have been true, as the fairground
was quite crowded on peak days and there was
barely any room left to move on the fairground at
peak times. On Friday evening alone, the fire
brigade registered 12,000 guests – in a town with
only 15,000 residents! Among the highlights of the
event there were, among other spectacles, a festival
procession, a boxing event, and a marching
band procession on the second opening Sunday,
as well as a demonstration of mid-sized firms,
where the Saarland Prime Minister Annegret
Kamp-Karrenbauer gave a not particularly exhilarating
speech. Moreover, the total of 110,000 visitors
were also offered a varied fairground with as
many as four novelties vying to entice the public;
namely Oberschelp’s “High Impress”, Zinnecker’s
“Der Burner”, Kaiser’s “Twister” coaster, and Hartmann’s
“Krumm & Schiefbau”. They were joined
by classic rides such as the “Jupiter” Ferris Wheel
(Göbel), the “Number One” dodgem track (Haas),
and the “Südseewellen” (Barth). Various kiddie
rides rounded off the selection of attractions.
Prior to the event, there were already many reports
about the new beer tent built up on Bergstraße
for the first time. The front of the new tent
needs some getting used to though, as it rather
more resembled a trade fair tent than a festive
beer tent. The menu in the tent - operated by Hans
Peter Küffner - was fantastic however, offering different
tasty dishes and delicious wines. On the
final day, the 434 th Schriesheim Mathaisemarkt
was closed with a magnificent fireworks display at
9 p.m. ■

BRUCHSAL
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
It was “Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen”, or
to put it another way, “snowflakes” at this
year’s Bruchsal Frühjahrsmarkt from 16 th to
24 th March, which suffered from wintry temperatures.
The winter weather not only affected
visitor attendance, but also the showmen’s
revenues. The poor weather was not the only
problem on the showmen’s mind, as this year’s
Frühjahrsmarkt may well have been the last
spring event on the Messplatz.
Due to urban development, the event is to be relocated
to a new ‘home’, if a suitable one can be
found. City authorities are currently searching for
an adequate replacement site, and the local
council will make a decision before long.
Sven Wipper, Chairman of the BranchenBund-
Bruchsal, liaised with the showmen and wants to
campaign for the continuation of the Frühjahrsmarkt
on the Messplatz, with a view to the successful
liaison between the fair event and the
open shopping Sunday. Currently, there is nothing
left to do but wait for the pending decision.
As regards to ride attractions, the Frühjahrsmarkt
once again benefited from the Schriesheim Mathaisemarkt
that ended on the previous Sunday, in
that a number of operations moved on from
Bergstraße to Bruchsal. From the ample choice of
33 different attractions, fairground director Klaus
Lippolt and Susanne Filder, Chairperson of the
Karlsruhe Showman Association, succeeded in
putting together an appealing fairground. With
Kaiser’s “Twister”, a family coaster was once
again presented after a break of many years. Another
highlight for Bruchsal was Oberschelp’s
“High Impress”. The Ferris Wheel from Göbel,
Massel’s “Tropical Trip”, the “Musik Express 3000”
(Spangenberger), the “Number One” dodgem
track (Haas), the “Crazy Town”, and Göbel’s
Slide rounded off the entertainment contingent.
Moreover, younger visitors enjoyed a number of
kiddie rides. The Family Day on Wednesday, the
open shopping Sunday, as well as the fireworks
display on Friday were once again the highlights
of the event.

A LOOK BACK
MÜNSTER
An aerial view of the Send
Text: Michael Petersen

The participants at the Frühjahrssend in Münster (2 nd
to 10 th March) had certainly expected more from the
very start and into the new fairground season. The
first large fair event in North-Rhine Westphalia was
characterised by noticeably decreased visitor numbers
and the entailing losses in turnover. The showmen
on Schlossplatz found themselves out in the
cold - in the literal sense of the phrase. Due to
Easter being early, it was actually still winter in the
calendar when this year’s Send event began. And
winter displayed its full force once again, especially
on the second opening weekend.
With occasional sunshine and temperatures in the
single-digit range, business was still quite good. The first
three weekdays were the first days of spring, and warm
temperatures made for a promising start. Considering
the relatively fine weather, visitor numbers were nonetheless
too low to bring about better results. Even the
reintroduced Family Day on Thursday let down the showmen.
It was certainly a mistake to hold no Family Days
last year, as it will now take some time for visitors to accept
this special action again. On the second weekend,
winter returned with freezing temperatures and snowfall.
The fireworks display on Friday turned out to be a disappointment,
as the Schlossplatz was crowded only for
a short time; it was simply too cold for the visitors.
The occupancy was essentially very good, yet a crowdpulling
novelty was disappointingly missing at the Send,
and the layout of the fairground was somewhat lacking
a clearly defined course. The Münster city authorities
and the showmen alike do not think too much significance
should be attached to the bad start into the new
season. Frost, snow, and ice simply do not whet the appetite
for a visit to the fairground. Nevertheless, there
are reasons to give thought to future Send events. This
year, the largest change will be the extension of the
Autumn Send to nine opening days, limited to a twoyear
trial period. One can only hope that the plans will
work out for the showmen. True, the Send is well-attended,
especially at the weekends, and it is more lucrative
for large ride attractions to be set up for nine, rather than
five opening days. However, it is a truism that extensions
have not proven particularly successful very
often. Currently, a study on the future of the Send is
being drawn up in cooperation with the Münster Technical
College, which includes representative surveys.
The result of this study will be published after the
Autumn Send.
Currently, a reorganisation of the Summer Send is already
being discussed. This may well mean that the
event will have to do without large rides. The number of
gastronomic operations, music acts and stages is to be
increased, and these will replace the roller coaster and
the Ferris Wheel. All this is in accordance with the event
motto: “no longer a fair event, but city festival”.
It remains to be seen if this is the right course to be taking.
The three Send events are tantamount to three major
fair events a year. Basically, this should not be changed,
and there are sufficient possibilities with regard to promoting
the event and in laying out the Schlossplatz to
clearly improve the standing of the Send.

SOLINGEN
Text & Photo:
Michael Petersen
True to the motto “Leise rieselt
der Schnee”, or “Silently falls
the snow”, the Solingen Frühjahrskirmes
(15 th to 24 th March)
took place under decidedly
adverse weather conditions.
Freezing temperatures, ice and
snow affected the visitor numbers
and results at the first
major fair event in the Bergisches
Land region. Indeed,
due to continuous snowfall,
even the usually well-attended
Family Day was a dead loss.
The top attraction “Pirates Adventure”
had been placed,
most effectively, in the entrance area of the appealingly
laid out fairground. The Musik Express
was relocated from its traditional site towards the
centre of the fairground, which certainly enhanced
the overall fairground image. Built up all
around the “Drive in” dodgem track were the “Sky-
Trip”, a Simulator, the “Breakdance” and the
“Heartbreaker”. A number of kiddie rides, sales
and games booths, as well as a shooting gallery,
rounded off the selection of fairground attractions.
There was also interesting news from the Showman
Association; in Solingen, it seems, another
large fairground is being sought to hold a further
fair event in summer or autumn.
■
RECKLINGHAUSEN
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
Light and shadow characterised this year’s Palmkirmes
(15 th to 24 th March) in the city belonging to
the Münster district, which numbers among the
top events in North-Rhine Westphalia, boasting
some 1 million visitors every year.
Approaching the fairground in the direction of the
Saatbruch area, one could see numerous large and
small posters, some of them also advertising the
Palmkirmes, which were almost completely hidden
away by the massive poster advertising campaign for
the Circus Roncalli making a concurrent appearance.
The circus also covered the advertising spaces that
usually featured the Palmkirmes posters. Despite
songs sung by the Chairman of the Showman Association,
the old-fashioned-style opening ceremony,
poorly-attended this time, was not particularly convincing.
Far and away the most positive observation
would be perfect catering provided by Bruno Dreßen
in his travelling gastronomic operation “Dorfwirt”.
This year, the Palmkirmes scored well with a variety
of Recklinghausen premières and even two German
ones. Two of the attractive rides presented were the
“Cobra” coaster and “The Beast” swing. While the
“Cobra” coaster was perfectly placed on the novelty
site at the Vestlandhalle, “The Beast” was unable to
present its striking appearance to its very best, built
up at a side entrance. The “Booster Maxxx G4” Propeller
was also intelligently placed and livened up the
section at the southern entrance. While the layout of
the fairground was quite satisfying at a first glance, a
closer look revealed some drawbacks. Unattractive
and relatively large thoroughfares for ambulances affected
the atmosphere in a number of fairground
47

sections, leading to the question as to whether or not
thoroughfares more than 10 metres wide are really
necessary. The large gaps they left could be seen
next to the “Cobra”, the “Diamond” dodgem track, the
“Amazonas”, and in the southern entrance area.
These sections could have been easily livened up by
a couple of colourful canvasses. Unfortunately however,
it looked very ugly the way it was.
The Palmkirmes provided an even uglier image on
the final opening day, with preparations being exaggerated
at several attractions and blending almost
seamlessly into dismantling. This behaviour is
damaging to the image of the entire showman industry.
Due to ice and snow, especially on the strongturnover
Family Day, results fell far short of the expectations
this year. But that is not all; the opening
fireworks display from a Berlin pyrotechnic firm did
not work out as planned, with burning and glowing
parts falling from the sky, damaging tarpaulins at a
number of showman attractions, and causing significant
property damage. Fortunately, nobody was
injured.

BRAUNSCHWEIG
Text & Photos: Uwe Holzmann
Easter being early in the year, the Frühjahrsmesse
on the Braunschweig Schützen-fairground was
held at an unusually premature time (8 th to 24 th
March). Prior to the event, fairground manager
Gaby Grandt from the Braunschweig Schützen, explained
that this was the reason why the showmen
had started earlier than usual. This also provided
for the possibility to attract spectacular new rides
to the Hamburger Straße. The disadvantage
though was that the early date also entailed some
risks, and indeed the frost and icy conditions proved
to be of no use to anybody, and quite catastrophic
to all participants.
The organiser, Frank Berweke was able to contract
every type of novelty and attraction, such as the
“Flash” from Weber, “Tornado” from Zinnecker, the
“Magic House” from Kutschenbauer and the freshly
renovated “Rock & Roller Coaster” from Vorlop. The
ride contingent on the very well laid-out fairground
was complemented by the “Jaguar-Express” from
Ahrend, the “Jamba Laya” from Stange, the “Break
Dancer No.1” from Franzelius, “Top Spin 2” from
Scheele, the “Walk of Fame” labyrinth from Zinnecker
and the dodgem track from Peter Vorlop. The younger
visitors were able to enjoy the “Fantasialand” from
Berweke, the “Piratenrutsche” from Schulze, the “Top
Drive No.1” from Ahrend, a Swing Boat from Reins, the
“Kindertraum” from Slawik, and a Bungee-Trampoline.
Naturally, visitors also encountered a high number of
speciality operations, beverage outlets and confectionery
stalls, providing them with food and drink, as
well as classic concession stalls such as a shooting
gallery, a Continental pick stand, a hook-a-duck, a
ball-throwing stall, or the popular pick up trolleys with
fantastic prizes.
Unfortunately, the event not only suffered from the
much-dreaded frost, but worse still enduring freezing
temperatures reaching as low as minus 10 °C, not to
mention repeated fresh snowfalls, icy patches due to
burst or frozen water pipes, and generally dismal winter
weather. All this gave rise to disastrous results.
Those fair-goers coming to the fairground during the
few opening days that were blessed with a little sunshine
in the afternoon – such as the final Sunday –
could not make up for the earlier poor results that left
the showmen depressed.
What a pity! Considering the conspicuous effort made
by all participants, it could have been a first-rate Frühjahrsmesse,
but finally all that was left was a prevailing
hope that spring would 'spring' and better Easter
venues, and those further into the year would prove
more successful.

SOUTHAMPTON (GB)
Text & Photos:
Marcus Gaines
Southampton is home to the south coast of
England's largest fair. Situated on The Common,
an area of park land on the outskirts of
Southampton, the Easter fair ran from the 28 th
March to the 7 th April.
The lessees, B Cole & Sons, always ensure a
good selection of rides is on offer and 2013 was
no different. Among the big attractions at the fair
were “Oxygen” Booster (Edward Danter), “Midnight
Express” Matterhorn (George Brewer Jnr.),
“Orbiter” (John Wall Jnr.) “Superbowl” (Craig
Danter) and “Tagada” (Guy & John Evans). The
large number of novelties was joined by the
usual collection of British favourites including a
Waltzer (Robert Cole), “Screamer” Miami
(Robert Cole), “Sizzler” Twist (Robert Cole) and
“Meteor” Round Up (John Searle) plus two Ghost
Trains and three Fun Houses.
Families with kids were very well catered for with
many inflatable and juvenile rides including a
junior Waltzer and a “Runaway Train” kiddie
coaster (Charles Ive).
Among the strong line up of rides there were a
couple of repetitions: two Superstars from John
Wall Jnr. and Leigh Danter, and two sets of Bumper
Cars from William Cole and John Wall Snr.
Fortunately the fair is laid out in a straight line
with only a couple of rides off the central path,
with the Superstars being positioned at opposite
ends of the fair.
Both Thursday's of the fair were crazy price day
with all rides costing just £1 (€1.20). Despite this
promotion starting the fair, some showmen were
disappointed by the first few days. One showman
claimed that there were more people in attendance
on the Easter Sunday than the previous
three days combined. Even then the Easter Sunday
didn't seem that busy, with rides operating
with only a handful of riders at a time. Despite
plenty of sunshine, the unseasonably freezing
cold weather appeared to have put off many
families, as the Easter weekend was the coldest
in the UK since records began.
A sign of how quiet the fair was, despite the short
opening hours of 2 p.m. to 9 p.m., on several
nights a number of rides had closed and others
were winding down already at by 8 p.m. Even on
the second crazy price Thursday, many showmen
couldn't justify the cost of keeping going
until 9 p.m. as snow showers seemingly kept
away the crowds.

The closing weekend saw the weather improve
greatly with much higher temperatures and
sunny skies, and happily the fairground was
much busier, but still the rides were running far
from full capacity.
Reflecting on the start of the new season one
showman said it was a shame the fair isn't closer
to the city centre as it would help with attendance
and create a much better atmosphere. After a
terrible 2012 he hoped that the poor first few
days of the main season weren't a sign of another
bad year ahead.

NOSTALGIA
The Bothmann ride
from Hermann Fellerhoff
The Hermann Fellerhoff family
is the owner of three nostalgic
kiddie carousels, largely
preserved in their original
condition. As a general rule
they are built up only once a
year; namely at the Düsseldorf
Christmas Markets on
the Rathausplatz, Schadowstraße,
and the Gustav-
Gründgens-Platz.

VDuring the pre-Christmas season, a Galloper
built by the Gotha Karussellfabrik Fritz Bothmann,
makes its rounds in front of the Düsseldorf
city hall. In 2004, Hermann Fellerhoff purchased
this carousel, which was preserved almost in its original
condition, from a private individual from the
Cologne region. The nostalgic 16-section horse
carousel features 25 ride accessories, including a
rotating gondola, boats and a sleigh, in addition to
the classic carousel horses, with the two pigs, as
well as the somewhat rare giant elephant still being
highly popular with the passengers. According to
the owner, the ceilings and the funnel still feature
their first oil paint coating. Also interesting is the

this show piece made a one-time guest appearance
at the anniversary fair in Werne, in addition
to its appearance at the Christmas Market.
Fellerhoff’s Hennecke carousel was built up at the
Christmas Market on the Düsseldorf Schadowstraße.
The classic ride with ground measurements
of 3.80 metres was built in 1942, and has been under
the ownership of the family ever since. The
young visitors could enjoy a total of nine different
mounts.

Platz in Düsseldorf, Hermann Fellerhoff presented
a more than 100-year-old, 14-section horse
carousel. The name of its builder remains lost to ob-

GASTRONOMY
ZUM LEUCHTTURM
Dieter Schmidt’s beverage
attraction “Zum Leuchtturm”
The rolling “Leuchtturm”
Text & Photos: Kai Morawetz
The beverage attraction “Zum
Leuchtturm” from Dieter
Schmidt from Grabow (Mecklenburg)
was built for the Meinecke
showman enterprise from Lower
Saxony by the Friesland-based
Fahrzeugbau Ellers firm in Altjürden in 1994.
Later on, the attraction was taken over by the Schuhmann
firm from Rostock, which toured it for one year
before selling it to showman Dieter Schmidt from
Grabow. After the takeover, the Schmidt family transformed
the unique beverage attraction with a maritime
theme into a small showpiece, featuring many decorative
elements. A number of bar tables, seating, and
a canopied beach chair provide a seaside feeling and
invite visitors to linger and enjoy. The roof protrudes
far above the seats at the counter, offering
sufficient protection from rain. Depending
on available space, the "Zum Leuchtturm”
attraction can be built up as a side stall with
or without a backflash in a centre row. The
cosy beer garden can also be adapted to the
available area. The attraction is equipped with
a high-performance refrigerated counter and
storage facility. The drinks menu ranges from
non-alcoholic beverages, draught beer, wine, champagne
and cocktails, to various coffee specialities. The
range is supplemented by different types of homemade
cold punch. After sundown, the signal light from
the lighthouse on the roof of the attraction is visible
from a considerable distance. The Schmidt family
tours this maritime beverage attraction mainly through
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, but also through
Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. Last year, "Zum
Leuchtturm” was presented for the first time at the Harbour
Birthday Festival in Hamburg. Due to the wellthought-out
construction of the trailer, building up and
dismantling the beverage attraction requires only a
couple of hours; only the lighthouse is dismantled and
secured for transportation. The attraction has ground
measurements of 7 x 8 metres and electrical requirements
of about 12 kW. In addition to the "Zum Leuchtturm”,
Dieter Schmidt also operates a kiddie railway
and a restaurant tent.

Dettinger’s “Café Alexa”
Dieter and Alexandra
Dettinger
Since 2011, Dieter Dettinger
from Unterensingen
has been offering
coffee specialities at his
mobile coffee bar, “Café
Alexa”.
The construction, with a
length of 8 metres and a
depth of 2.50 metres, was
built by the Pfaff firm. The interior
consists of high-quality
coffee machines that Dettinger hunted down in Italy,
where he also fortuitously found his coffee supplier. The
high-quality coffee, sporting the Hardy label, comes
from a small roasting house. Apart from coffee specialities
such as the familiar Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato,
Espresso, Mocha, and the classic Café Crema,
the menu at the "Café Alexa” also includes specialities
such as Caramellita or Vanilla, an espresso with milk
and syrup. By the way, the name "Café Alexa” refers to
the name of his wife, Alexandra Dettinger. The "Café
Alexa” was presented at, among other venues, the Bietigheim
Pferdemarkt, the Spring Festival in Stuttgart,
and at the Wurstmarkt in Bad Dürkheim.

International non-government organisation (NGO) • Established in 1954
President Albert Ritter
Hearts Beat Faster at the Historic Jahrmarkt
When the first historic Jahrmarkt opened its
gates at the Bochum Jahrhunderthalle six years
ago, the simultaneous signal also fell for a row
of successful events, which entices tens of thousands
of fairground fans to the old industrial
buildings every year. Also attending at the invitation
of ESU-President Albert Ritter were showman
colleagues from Ireland and Portugal, at
the beginning of March 2013.
Whether a Caterpillar Ride from the 1920s, the Ferris
Wheel from the turn of the century, or a horse carousel
built in 1878 – the presidium members of the
Portuguese Showman Association Associação Portuguesa
de Empresas de Diversão, and the Irish
Showman Association, the Irish Showmen’s Guild,
were enthralled by the unique choice of historic
fairground attractions. Together with President Rit-
ter, they inspected
carousels, caravans,
traction engines
and mechanical
Baroque concert
organs. The fact that
the Volksfests and
fairgrounds are a
matter of the heart
for showmen need
not be especially
mentioned. However
it was noticed
that the hearts of
the guests from Portugal and Ireland beat faster
during the tour through the "Volksfest-Museum
auf Zeit".

ESU-Solidarity with Portugal's Showmen
Presidium meets in Antwerp
On the 17th March 2013, the Presidium of the
European Showman Union met up in the Belgian
Volksfest city of Antwerp to discuss current association
themes. Taking part in the meeting
were, in addition to President Albert Ritter, also
Vice President Nicole Vermolen and Franck Delforge,
as well as General Secretary Steve Severeyns.
Detailed discussions were undertaken by
the presidium about help for Portuguese showman
colleagues, who, since the beginning of the
year, have undertaken countless protest actions
against the increase of the reduced VAT rate.
President Ritter declared that there would be no
stone left unturned on the part of the ESU to
achieve the withdrawal of the tax measures in question.
The ESU has regular contact with the Portuguese
Showman Association Associação Portuguesa
de Empresas de Diversão (APED), and its President
Luís Paulo Fernandes.
In addition to the tax burden for the showman industry,
discussions also turned to the theme
environmental zones, another main point at the
presidium meeting in Antwerp. The situation in individual
member countries was discussed in depth
by the presidium, and affirmed the demands of the
ESU for an exemption of a driving ban on showman
vehicles. The discussions about the environmental

increase

zones included the current transport problems of
Irish showman colleagues.
Following the decision of the German Government
to enter into a UNESCO-agreement in December
2012 in order to retain immaterial cultural assets, it
meant for the ESU according to President Ritter "to
now bundle together all our strength to ensure the
recording of the traditional European Volksfests as
immaterial cultural asset in World Cultural Heritage."
"The European Volksfests have long fulfilled
the criteria for acceptance as they are a unique and
unusual witness to a centuries old cultural tradition",
declared the ESU-President.

MODEL CONSTRUCTION
WILDE MAUS
Stefan Schulmerich from Dachau
is 46 years old and works as an
accountant. Ever since he can
remember, the colourful world of
fairgrounds has always been,
and is still, his passion. As a
young boy he watched the build
up of the Dachau Volksfest for
days. At the age of 15, he built his
first fairground models, and later
on he made both his love for fairgrounds
and model construction
his hobby.

The paybox area designed
according to the builder’s ideas
– The tracks were made from
H0-scale model railway flexible
tracks - The station platform
can be removed for repair
In 1987, Stefan Schulmerich began to build 1:50
scale fairground models. Initially, he built
models of a number of ride and funhouse attractions
as well as a couple of concession stalls.
Building a showman camping trailer, he gained
his first experiences in ride manufacturing.
Eleven years ago, he began to realize his longstanding
and ambitious wish to build a true-tooriginal
fully functional model of a “Wilde Maus”
coaster. “Templates” for the building of the
model were a number of photos from the
coasters of the showman enterprises Münch and
Kinzler. In addition, the model builder drew his
own scale drafts.
The model has ground measurements of 90 x 45
centimetres, and the maximum height of the
track is 42 centimetres. The base was made of
box-sectioned profile sections and brass tubes.
For the tracks he used flexible tracks from a H0-
scale model railway. While the tight curves were
carefully bent without any gauge, the radii for the
ascents and drops were adapted with a suitable
glass bottle serving as a gauge. Next, the sleepers
of the flexible tracks were fixed with instant
glue at a spacing of 1.5 cm. While the trusses
are made of rectangular tube and brass sections,
the lift, paybox case and station were
made of metal sheeting. The lettering consists of
polystyrene boards and cardboard. The ladders
and handrails were glued together from steel
wire, and the mice and flower pots were formed
from a modelling compound. For the chassis of
all three gondolas, Stefan Schulmerich used
bogies from H0-scale freight wagons, to which
the painted bubbles made of cardboard were
glued. Underneath the gondola floors there is a
lug, onto which the bolting of the chain drive is
latched. Along the drive chain there are always
two bolts set at three equal distances. While the
first bolt latches onto the lug underneath the gon-
60

dola, the second one serves as the roll-back protection
behind the second axle of the chassis.
Building and adjusting the brakes was a test of
the builder’s patience. After many a trial, simple
cardboard strips glued on and set between the
sleepers turned out to be the best solution.
“Super glue” was liberally applied to the cardboard
strips as “brake pads”. Next, the cardboard
strips were painted with vehicle paint, so that
they could be perfectly fitted into the curve radii
and carefully decelerate the gondolas. The mice
were formed from modelling compound, flamehardened
and painted. Small model railway
trees were glued into the flower pots made of
modelling clay. As all the single components
were glued with model construction and “Super
glue”, the model cannot be dismantled. For the
lighting, a total of 2,850 light diodes with a diameter
of 2 and 3 mm were installed. The electronic
controls for the running light and the ride
programme were built by a friendly electronics
engineer. To prevent the gondolas from colliding
in the station, sensors were fixed to the lift and
tiny magnets to the gondolas. Driving past, the
magnets trigger the sensor contacts, which in
turn open or close a barrier in front of the station
entrance. Finally, standard Preiser figures were
partly changed in accordance with a photo in the
Kirmes & Park Revue, newly painted and provided
with real hair. After a construction time of 10
years, Stefan Schulmerich was able to open his
largest and most ambitious fairground model so
far, last year. In the meantime, he began to build
another concession stall, and there are plans to
build the vehicle fleet for the “Wilde Maus” in the
near future.

Tracks with considerable steel facing – three inch
thick steel on 6-ply wooden tracks – wind their way
over an impressive wooden construction, through
hilly and thickly forested grounds in the back section
of the park: an almost 33 metre high lift follows
directly after the station. Having reached the top,
the train angles over the highest point, without immediately
dropping into the almost 50 metre
depths. An effective but unfortunately far too rarely
used pre-drop follows, which allows the train to race
into the following almost vertical first drop energetically
and with guaranteed airtime in all seats. This
is followed by an element with 153° banking (a type
of approaching but not completely executed “Revolution”),
more airtime hills, near-ground curves, a
parallel turn, a 90° steep left curve, and a right
curve that is just as inclined with an orderly amount
of “hang time”, before “Outlaw Run” offers its grand
finale with two real inversions in the form of a
corkscrew, also called “double barrel roll”.
Ride Résumé
Together with its also extremely successful
theming, “Outlaw Run” is an unusual wooden
coaster with a refreshingly different type of layout.
Particularly remarkable is the fact that both an
operator and a manufacturer have found a way to
realize the vision of a functional Wooden Looping
Coaster – despite (or perhaps because of?) the
disasters that occured around the large construction
“Son of Beast” at the American theme park
Kings Island. “Outlaw Run” is only one-third as long
as the earlier and last year demolished millennium
attraction from RCCA. Due however to its new type
of construction it will without a doubt have a much
longer life cycle. And we have spoken about this
with Fred Grubb, who together with his wife Susanne
Dedmon founded the family firm Rocky
Mountain Construction Company and with Brad
Thomas, Senior Vice President of Silver Dollar City
Attractions.

Interview with Fred Grubb
If it had been constructively and financially
possible, would you have been able to save the
highest wooden coaster in the world, the “Son
of Beast”, by one of your methods?
As for the Son of Beast we did not do a feasibility
study to know if it could be saved.
You have one of the most innovative coaster
designers on board: Alan Schilke, who once developed
the revolutionary 4 th Dimension Coaster
for Arrow. Are similar trailblazing constructions
to be expected from RMC in the future?
Yes Alan is the designer and he is a great
partner. We do have more ideas that are made
possible by our track system.
Is there another large project waiting at the
starting block?
Yes
Are you concentrating on the North
American market, or have you already cast an
eye towards Europe and Asia?
We are working with Vekoma to develop the
European and Asian markets.
Interview with Brad Thomas
How did this unusual attraction come
about? Did you contact a number of manufacturers
for suggestions regarding a wooden Looping
Coaster?
We are constantly doing research with our
current guests and our potential guests. We want
to always understand how we can better meet our
their ever-changing expectations. Our market
research showed that a dynamic wood coaster
would be a draw to our park.
Branson is not an urban market, but a tourism community.
Our biggest challenge is always to ensure
our shows, festivals, rides and attractions are highly
entertaining for a guest to travel several hours to
visit us. Thus, our search began to find a unique
wood coaster experience. And Rocky Mountain
Construction Company created a concept that
included the world’s steepest drop on a wood
coaster, the 2 nd fastest wood coaster, as well as
3 inversions.
As it didn’t escape your notice, there
were problems with the world’s first wooden
looping coaster “Son of Beast” at Kings
Island theme park since its opening in 2000,
resulting in its dismantling last year. Why
have you made the decision for a Lopping
attraction from wood despite this fact?
The three inversions on “Outlaw Run” are
thrilling and unique; the design and technology
64

are vastly different than previous inversions on
wood coasters. The first inversion occurs almost
immediately after the 162’ drop. This inversion
features a 153 degree angle, literally taking riders’
feet over their heads. The second and third inversions
are at the end of the ride experience and
occur with 2 back to back 360-degree barrel rolls.
Rocky Mountain’s innovative approach to the track
on top of the traditional wood structure allowed the
unique features of “Outlaw Run” to become reality.
In the case of “Son of Beast” many and
sometimes serious changes had to be made –
all without success. Do the possible pending
maintenance costs not cause you concern?
Rocky Mountain’s track design has actually
been shown to save maintenance dollars as opposed
to traditional wood coasters.
The layout is simply breathtaking. Did the
track layout suggestion come from RMC?
“Outlaw Run’s” layout was designed by RMC,
with modifications from our internal team.
The theming and the choice of name of the
new coaster are very successful. What came
first: the theme idea or the desire for such an attraction?
We actually made the decision to build a wood
coaster, and as we began the search process for
the manufacturer and design, we were simultaneously
developing the storyline and name of the
ride. We desired to build an amazing ride experience
with a Western/stagecoach theme. In addition,
we very much want to ensure that “Outlaw
Run” encourages kids of today to aspire to be
“good guys” in all they do. Our statement “the Good
Guys always win” celebrates the lawmen of yesterday
and today – but also is a strategic statement
and passion to encourage kids to make the sound,
and good choices today and for years to come. For
our grand opening weekend, we actually found 10
kids doing significant things in their communities.
They received a trip to Silver Dollar City where they
met and dined with law enforcement professionals.
They of course concluded their time together with
an action packed ride on “Outlaw Run” – just proving
in fact that the good gyus really do win! ■

COASTER
Definite speedy drops
and particularly a successful
indoor area are the
characteristics of this new
coaster
The two-headed feathered
snake Quetzalcoatl has found
new lodgings at the animal and
theme park Bellewaerde, in the
form of a Zierer coaster that
leads visitors into a temple
where the mighty god of the
elements Huracan has been
closed in.
Text & Photos: Rik Engelen
Photos show the station,
two rooms in the Darkride section,
and the ascent
Huracan
The park that opened in 1959 has been known
for its lush surroundings, laid back atmosphere
and a good mixture of rides and animal exhibits,
but until now it has not been known for its
coasters. Although the park is home to the world’s
first, and still in great condition “Boomerang”
coaster from Vekoma, as well as a large Zierer Tivoli
coaster, it’s only now after 29 years that
“Huracan” joins its coaster siblings as a custom
made, themed, indoor-outdoor coaster.
Bellewaerde Park was home to the 1991 Mack
Darkride “Los Piratas”. Deemed to have become
too expansive in repairs, it was decided to remove
it from the large building, and to replace it with a
new ride construction. “Huracan” is the name of
the new attraction that has been placed in the
existing building situated next to the atmospheric
Mexican plaza in the far eastern part of the park,
surrounded by the “Boomerang” and the Topple
Tower “El Volador” from Huss.
Flanked by statues, the entrance of the ride
creates a lot of attention, and visitors reach the
station area by way of a large and winding queue
through mine shafts and mural decorated hallways.
The consistent and good theme, and various
lighting effects are very effective. Guests
however are only let into the station area per ride
cycle, depriving the successful station unfortunately
of well deserved attention from the waiting
riders.
The snake-train offers comfortable seats and
enough room. Separate lap bars make it possible
for passengers to partake of the ride with a height
66

from one meter, and the story is told through a
sound system behind the head rests (4 speakers
per car). Unfortunately the backrests are so high
that there’s hardly any uninterrupted view to the
front, not even from the lead car. The question
therefore comes to mind as to whether the park
shouldn’t have opted for the ESC-type coaster
from Zierer (Elevated Seating Coaster). These are
more open, and more accessible for loading and
unloading, and would have probably increased
the feeling of riding on the snake’s back.
Shortly after the snake gets moving, it travels into
the dark ride section and moves slowly through
several chambers with various elements, past two
impressive waterfalls, a chamber of fire, a room
filled with mist, and a large area with wind. The
theming by TAA (Theming and Animatronics
Industries S.A.) is beautiful, and has been effectively
done. Bellewaerde Park indeed succeeded
in creating the required atmosphere and storytelling.
The train moves at a speed of 6 km/h per
friction drive propulsion, but this speed is
adjustable by the park according to crowds. All
the while when moving through these chambers,
the custom composed music is played through
the sound system and every room has its own
piece. It is very refreshing to see the work put into
this, as opposed to just playing a single piece of
music right through.
A swift lift brings the train from Huracan’s temple
upwards and outside of the building. The transition
from top to drop is fairly slow but this allows
for a nice view of the Mexican square and is great
for onlookers as well. Although having enclosed
coasters popping out of the building is an interesting
feature seen elsewhere before, it also
enhances the experience and it gives the spectators
a small idea what to expect indoors.

A mild but great curve drops to the right and back
into the building. This is where “Huracan” then
starts unleashing its power, as the building is
pitch black, which gives riders the feeling of disorientation.
The coaster has a total length of 500
meters, but the dark section makes it seem longer.
The train accelerates during the good and long
drop in the dark building, and unexpected curves
and turns follow at a fast pace. Apart from a bit of
a slower section, the speed of the attraction is
very good.
Following a final curve to the left, the train goes
into the final magnetic brakes, facing into a neat
tunnelled laser effect. The train waits here until the
station is free, and the snake then crawls back into
its starting position. Returning to the Mexican
square one can see kids and adults alike running
towards the queue for another ride, which is
always a very good sign that everything was done
well.
“Huracan” is very good family coaster and a great
addition to Bellewaerde Park. The story as well as
the theming are original and fit in well with the
existing Mexican part of the park. The dark ride,
exterior section, fast dark section and end effect
make for a great mix, and Zierer offers a silent and
smooth ride experience.
It may not be the most thrilling coaster on the
planet but this wasn’t the park’s goal either.
Bellewaerde Park aims to be a family oriented
park and with “Huracan”, it plays the market well.
The ride should show up on everyone’s 2013
calendar and will no doubt be a hit with visitors
and fans alike.

In this area however there are even more intense
safety requirements: backpacks of any description
are taboo – presumably the platform is an
enticing spring point for base jumpers. However
even without a parachute Canon Tower offers
enough thrills. The view for example, when the sky
is not thickly clouded over, as it was on the day of
our visit, and quite often. Those who wish for an
even higher experience can travel to the Look Out
for an additional 338 RMB (41 Euro). The addition
33 metres – when considering the price – is more
for the prestige of the visitor, rather than a better
view.
However there are also cheaper thrills, for example
the “Bubble Tram”. This construction has 16
gondolas and travels around the viewing tower at
a slanted angle. Each gondola accommodates 6
passengers and requires 20 to 40 minutes for one
circulation, coming at a price of 180 RMB (22
Euro). The attraction was planned by Shanghai
Amusement Machine Engineering, and built by
Shanghai Xidu Amusement Equipment Manufacturing.
The regularly used description of “horizontal
Ferris Wheel” applies only minimally, as the
course is only angled at 15.5°.
The “Sky Drop” has been available since January
2012 for the somewhat more
daring visitor. For a price of 150
RMB or a kombi-ticket, visitors
receive an armband at the entrance
to the viewing platform
with two stubs. Casting a
glance at the giant drop from
the platform, one may well ask
whether the extra money was
worth it, and looking at the type
plate the first impression is confirmed:
at 27.6 metres in height,
it’s less of a drop, and rather
more a “droplet”.
The original assessment however
changes abruptly after taking
one’s place on the seat
bench accommodating a maximum
of four guests, when the
safety restraint is closed, and
the gondola is pulled upwards.

Passengers are not standing with their backs to
the edge of the platform anymore, and it all becomes
very clear that they are already at a 455
metre height before anything even happens. Even
with bad visibility the view is awesome, and the
slow ascent doesn’t make it any better.
When one doesn’t look straight down at the
platform and with that has a reference point, but
looks somewhat into the distance, then the low
drop height becomes irrelevant. As the time of
release and the first metre of drop are the most
intensive moments in freefalling anyway, it’s
hardly of any consequence that the first magnetic
brakes already take a grip after approximately
15 metres.
Whilst one is getting over everything and collecting
deposited belongings, probably the first
thought is when to cash in the second stub for
another ride. This thought is suddenly interrupted
by personnel who lead visitors to the other side of
the tower, where a second fall is waiting – also with
a four-passenger gondola.
One notices at the very latest when place has
been taken that something is somehow different
when compared to the experience that took
place just around a minute ago. The seat is more
of a saddle than a seat. The planner was also
sadistic enough to increase the thrill factor for the
second ride, so that nobody gets the idea of
getting accustomed to the effect. The queasy
feeling during ascent softens a little, but then
there’s an even more unease when the gondola
tips forward at the highest point before decoupling
– a principle that is already known as “Tilting
Tower”, for example the “High Fall” at Movie Park
Germany.
In actual fact one can recognise the manufacturer
of the “Sky Drop” already on the basis of the characteristic
form of the seat bench, the sit-downspur
and the lift, but at the latest at the stand-upspur
that it’s a product from Intamin. Confirmation
can be seen on the type plate that the supplier
was Ride Trade International Corp. Est. This company
was from the Intamin Group before restructuring,
and all amusement attractions were
pooled together into the Intamin Amusement
Rides Int. Corp. Est.
As already mentioned, a visit to Canton Tower is
not a really cheap experience. Although there is
a packet price for entrance in combination with
the “Bubble Tram” or the “Sky Drop”, this is only
slightly cheaper than the total sum of both single
prices. And a ticket with all three components
included is not available. On the other hand,
visitors are offered an unusual experience that
remains long in their memory.

KIDDIE RIDE
Two year old Legoland
guests can already ride this
attraction from Mack Rides
Traditionally the new season begins
with the Easter holidays.
However it was not only the very
early Easter dates this year, but
also the unusually cold weather
that made life difficult for all theme
and amusement parks.
Whilst a number of German
parks delayed opening unceremoniously
(among others Belantis
and Movie Park Germany),
there were others – particularly
those with overnight possibilities
– who could do nothing else
other than open. And so was the
case with the German Legoland.
Temple X-pedition

And it may well have been due to a little foresight
that this year’s Legoland-novelty by the
name of “Temple X-pedition” is an indoor attraction.
Similar to the already known constructions at
other Legoland parks worldwide, it is an interactive
Darkride where ride guests in two-seat
jeeps, drive through an abandoned temple building.
The adventurers – big and small – meet up
with various Lego-figures, mummies, snakes, and
skeletons during the three minute ride – all are
naturally of Lego-bricks. Travelling on the just 68
metre course through the dark labyrinth means
also shooting various targets and figures with light
guns.
As is usual in the meantime with such attractions,
the points are counted up, and the total number is
shown at the end. The number of points achieved
for each target can be seen on a board in the waiting
area, which by the way is happily not too long:
after a small roofed over waiting area, the path
leads to a small room, and after that straight to the
station area. Long waiting times appear to be as
good as impossible. No wonder, as this attraction
harbours – as is the case already at Legoland
Billund – a classic, strong capacity, endless ride
system from Mack Rides.
Passenger loading takes place during operation
without a rotating conveyor band. Despite this,

KIDDIE RIDE
passenger loading is not difficult due to the
relatively low speed of only 1.3 kilometres per hour,
whilst the ride through the eight themed rooms is
perceived to be substantially faster, as the twoseat
jeeps rotate almost permanently on their own
axis. Additionally, the track layout is quite curvy,
so that the other ride guest gondolas only very
rarely slide back into the visual field. This all
makes no difference to the younger Legoland visitors
however, because of the fact that “Temple X-
pedition” is one of the few attractions at Legoland
Deutschland approved for children less than 4
years of age. And in this case all visitors from the
age of two years are allowed to experience the
quite speedy dark adventure in the company of an
adult, when at the same time the quite heavy
pistols are not easy to handle for them.
The new 6,000 square metre sized theme area
“Reich der Pharaonen” has come into being together
with the “Temple X-pedition”, and initially
only contains this one attraction, and is “geographically”
located outside the normal circuit – to be
more precise, in the second row behind the other
original Legolands. Visitors reach the new indoor
attraction over stone steps, where a five metre
high Pharaoh out of 275,000 Lego-bricks awaits
them as an eye catcher. At the same time the
opportunity to expand was taken advantage of, to
replace the more or less temporary back entrance
with a more adequate one, through which all overnight
guests of the Legoland holiday village use
as entrance to the park.

NEW LEGOLAND-HOTELS IN CALIFORNIA AND IN GERMANY
It was first last year that the
world’s first Legoland hotel
opened at Legoland Windsor.
This year, two are to be added:
in California and in Germany.

However the two are vastly different to each
other. Whilst the Californian hotel version is
confusingly similar to the high class hotel in England,
the “Ritterburg” in Bavaria can’t quite match
up to the previously mentioned 4-Star hotels.
However the Bavarian park has already been
operating the 11 hectare Legoland holiday village
since 2002 with 72 individual bungalows. The
central reception as well as restaurants can also
be used by the new “Ritterburg”, with its 34
themed rooms.
Although the design of the facades is
unfortunately very bold, it does fit very well to the
area of “Land der Ritter” at Legoland, but is
however about a 10 minute walk away. The
Legoland holiday resort now has over 612 beds
available.
The new three-storey hotel at Legoland California
has 250 themed Lego-rooms, a reception with
thousands of Lego-figures, a themed restaurant,
a “Skyline Café”, and – in accordance with the
weather there – naturally also a pool area. ■

GARDALAND
Text & Photos: Matteo Crepaldi
Who wouldn’t want to have the choice; spend a
day at your favourite theme park or enjoy some
of the best chocolate in the World? On March
23rd and 24th it was possible to do both because
Gardaland, the most visited Italian theme park,
hosted for the first time in its history the largest
European chocolate exhibition: the “Eurochocolate”.
For two entire days, guests could enjoy, at a very
special admission rate, most of all the amazing
attractions this resort can offer as well as a wide
variety of games, animations, demonstrations and
workshops related to the world of chocolate. This
meant that throughout the entire park, it was possible,
not only to enjoy chocolate in every existing
form, but also to take part in games and contests
and bring home some very sweet souvenirs.
The official season opening took place on the 28 th
of March with the introduction of
“Madagascar Live!” This brand
new show, which takes place in the
earlier “Pala Raptor”, is based on
the popular DreamWorks animated
movie Madagascar 3. The show,
after travelling through the most
important European cities, is now
settled at Gardaland.
For those who had a chance to see
similar shows in other parks, this
one is more similar to the one held
in Everland, Korea, than the one at
Chessington’s World of Adventures,
England. Whilst the one at
Everland takes place inside an enclosed
theatre and has a longer
and more detailed storyline, the
one at Chessington is more like a
street show.

DISNEYLAND SHANGHAI
A photo of a model of the new
Shanghai Disneyland, set to
open in 2015, was revealed to
shareholders at their recent
meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.
The park will be very generously
designed – with enough
grounds for building. And so for
example there is to be a total
ground area of 44,500 m 2 of
green space, and plans are for
the erection of the tallest Enchanted
Storybook Castle of all
six Disney parks worldwide.
“With Shanghai Disneyland,
we’re creating a one-of-a-kind
destination that is authentically
Disney and distinctly Chinese,”
CEO Bob Iger said.
The building of the infrastructure and support
facilities for Disneyland Shanghai are almost
completed, and design details and installation of
features in the theme park will begin this year.
Some major structures will take shape in the theme
park at the end of this year, which will open in
Chuansha in the Pudong New Area, said Zhou
Xianqiang, Assistant Director of Shanghai International
Tourism and Resorts Zone Management
Commission.
The 168 hectare Disney-resort (with Disneyland,
hotels, parking areas, and extension areas), will be
the new heart of a 20 km 2 sized tourist area. Following
completion of the rest of the grounds, streets,
and rivers this year, the commission will hand over
the area for further construction to the officials of
Disney in the United States, announced
Zhou. He also added
that the future theme park will be
surrounded by a water way, in
order to separate it from the outside
world.
Disneyland Shanghai will contain more Chinese elements
in order to differentiate it from other Disney
parks, explained Dao Shuming, Director of the
Shanghai Tourist Bureau. Initially though, there will
be a concentration on shows, festival events and
souvenirs. “The entrance price to the future park will
be similar to those of other Disney parks worldwide,
but will take into consideration the salaries of visitors
from Mainland China”, added Zhou.
Following Tokyo and Hong Kong, this will be the
third Disneyland in Asia, and the projected costs of
the first building phase are 24.5 billion Yuan (3
billion Euro).

EUROPA-PARK

World’s most visited, seasonally operated park,
was showered with honours and prizes during
the past off-season period – and the first
European Star Award on the occasion of EAS
Berlin in category “Best Park” was only one of
them (see www.kirmesparkrevue.de/eas).
No wonder then that the Mack family has to divide
the many award occasions among themselves:
while at the beginning of the year Miriam and
Michael Mack travelled to Los Angeles to receive
the THEA Classic Award, Europa-Park GmbH & Co.
Hotelbetriebe KG received the “Jobmotor”1 st prize.
Whilst Europa-Park employs around 3,400 personnel
during the season, the 5 park-owned hotels
have alone around 1,000 workers. The award was
received by Thomas Mack, sister Ann-Kathrin and
Matthias Kirch.
Currently Europa-Park
is starting into the new
season. Punctually 200
years after the first edition
of the “Kinder- und
Hausmärchen” from the
brothers Grimm appeared,
six other fairytales
found a new home
in the “Märchenwald”-
area, which in light of
current events will be
known as “Grimm’s
Märchenwald”. As already
was the case of
other fairytale areas in
Europa-Park earlier,
most of the new additions
have interactive
movements. ■

MOVIELAND PARK
Despite the news that saw it
closing within a few years,
Movieland Park is now celebrating
its 10 th anniversary with the
opening of one of the most
unique and exciting attractions
ever created.
Text & Photos: Matteo Crepaldi
Located in Lazise, a beautiful small town on the
southern coast of Lake Garda, just a few
kilometres away from the well known Gardaland
Resort, Movieland, as its name suggests, is an
action movie based theme park, which has
always been known to have a very special selection
of rides and attractions.
Just to have an idea, Movieland is still one of the
very few in the world to own and operate a first
generation Intamin Freefall Tower, and probably
the only one to have a submarine simulator which
perfectly recreates the naval battle scenarios
from the second World War.
And it’s just as important to spend some words on
another very particular attraction: “Magma”, a
ride where professional stunt drivers take the
guests on their extremely powerful trucks around
a recreated South American power plant recently
hit by a deadly earthquake. Movieland is not new
to attractions where the thrill factor is introduced
by the skill level of the crazy personnel who
operate the vehicles and manually control the
whole experience, rather than expensive ride
constructions. This applies perfectly to the “Kitt
Superjet”.
The theme of “Kitt Superjet”, unveiled to the public
officially on March 29 th , is themed around the very
famous TV show of the eighties: Knight Rider with
David Hasselhoff, and known as in Italy as
Supercar.
30 years after his first appearance, Michael
Knight is back again at Movieland Park with a
motorboat, sharing the same special characteristics
of Kitt Supercar – which is due to, as has
often happened at Movieland – the clever implementation
of a well know theme, bypassing
licence rights.
The whole action takes place on the artificial lake
used also for the “Rambo Stunt Show”. This area
is totally invisible from around the park and the
only way to see Kitt in action is to ride the Backstage
Panoramic Tour.
80

When approaching the ride, guests are welcomed
by the giant Knight Industries truck which
hosts part of the queue line. Once inside, cast
members give the riders a bright red life vest and
direct them in the boarding area where they can
wait for their turn to ride.
The vehicles on which they are about to embark
are three very powerful motorboats similar to the
ones used in New Zealand to give thrill seekers a
tour of the Kawarau River. Each one of them can
carry up to 14 passengers, and only some minor
modifications were made to better fit inside an
amusement park. The Mercury motors produce a
maximum power of 600 HP. This huge amount of
energy is then transmitted to a Hamiltonjet water
jet, which uses advance fluid dynamics principles
to accelerate and control the boat.
As soon as everyone has found a seat, a short
video, featuring Michael Knight himself, explains
the unique characteristics of the ride, and creates
When the preshow is over, the motors are started
and the boat is gently pulled outside the boarding
dock and into the ride arena. At this point the
storyline is that “Kitt Superjet” is attacked by a
helicopter and bad guys shooting automatic
weapons and it must find a way to escape. To do
so, the motorboats perform quick accelerations,
sharp turns, 360° spins and abrupt stops. All of
this surrounded by many different special effects
recreate feelings of a real life threatening situation.
Since the attraction is completely human controlled,
every ride can be different from the previous
one depending on the mood of the pilot.
Also, the wetness level of each ride can change
depending on the type of manoeuvres that are
performed, and the distance from some of the
special effects.
Overall, “Kitt Superjet” is a very exciting, unique
and unpredictable ride, and the perfect way for
a nice anticipation for what lies ahead.

PROJECT: A NEW PARK IN PAKISTAN?
Text: H. Jürgen Kagelmann, Verena Kagelmann
Bin Laden has made it possible, or more precise:
his death has. Sounds a little macabre, but
as is known, the key figure of 9/11 was killed in
his hiding place in Abottabad in Pakistan by the
special forces unit Navy Seals in May 2011. However
this now could have unusual consequences.
The local district government wishes to bring
tourism to the area. For this reason it plans an over
20 hectares sized theme park with countless additional
attractions such as a zoo, adventure sports
and a restaurant. Additionally there will apparently
also be a World Cultural Heritage centre and
artificial waterfalls. The project –
in cooperation with private and
public investors who are unknown
however – is to be financed with 30 million
US $, and is to enhance the image of the city. A later
and generous extension of the grounds is possible.
Building should have started at the end of March,
but nobody has heard anything since.
Reference to the earlier terrorist boss is – understandably
– heard reluctantly, and one is even less
enthusiastic about being linked to him.
In general Pakistan belongs among the underdeveloped
touristic areas, and if there were any
tourists at all, they would without a doubt be only
Islamic. For well-to-do families from Islamabad,
Abottabad has become a popular destination. For
travellers from the west, the country remains, as
before, one of the most unsafe in the world. ■

Over 11 million visitors since the start in 1995,
makes the Swarovski Kristallwelten in Wattens/
Tirol one of the most popular attractions in the
whole of Austria.
With after all 700,000 guests annually, it has
become one of the permanent “big boys” in the
tourist sector. In order to entice even more visitors
to the fascinating world of crystal, the Swarovski
management has announced a very generous
extension: the complete area is to be extended from
3.5 to 7.5 hectares – with investment costs of 34
million Euro.
Swarovski is targeting the families especially, and
wants to install new attractions in the outside area,
to newly position the company. Completion is
planned for 2015; the turning of the spade will take
place this year.

particularly those from the 1980s that were very
popular and couldn’t be missing from any fairground
or park.
As the Bremen manufacturer recently announced,
the new Chinese park Ningo Romon World has
ordered 4 Huss constructions at the same time: a
“Suspended Top Spin”, a 42 metre high “Giant
Frisbee”, a 55-seat “Pirate Ship”, as well as a threearm
ASR-”Breakdance”.
Additionally, the new safari park Chong Qing in
China will receive a 38-seat “Suspended Top Spin”
and a 24-seat “King Kong” ride.
Two other Chinese parks have ordered a 26 m high
“Condor” each. This ride was sold 30 times in the
80s and 90s. According to General Manager Mirko
Schulze, they will receive the “Condor 2-G”, which
is in the same format but has a worked over ride
design.
Further deliveries in this year will go to Vialand in

LE WATERPARK BELLE MARE
MAGAZINE
Text & Photos: H. Jürgen Kagelmann
Actually it’s quite astounding that there is a
water park on Mauritius, after all it’s an island
with pleasant warmth and is surrounded by
marvellous turquoise coloured water.
All the same there are three good reasons for the
erection of Le Waterpark: on the one hand, many
of the 1.2 million Mauritians can’t swim, and therefore
prefer a safe water park, and secondly there
are a number of slides here and no sharks, which
is exactly the opposite on a natural beach.
Le Waterpark was erected in 2000 on the east side
near the town of Belle Mare, is around 10 hectares
in size, and is since then a focal point particularly
for families – and accordingly, the attractions are
more of a modest thrill. And one hopes to entice
many tourists – after all, the island is a holiday
stronghold, and is the second most important line
of business for tourism.
However, preferred mostly are other recreational
amusements such as watching dolphins, playing
golf, or the casino. The locals spend their time
mostly among themselves, but for over half of
them, a cheaper entrance price probably plays a
role as well. (Tourist price: Adults and children pay
345 or alternatively 185 Rupees, converted, about
8.50 € and 4.50 €). As these amounts are still
relatively expensive for most of the population, the
visitor numbers are held within limits. Hence there
are again announcements that the owner (the
Mauritian Sugar Investment Trust is the largest
public company on the island), is considering
closing the park. This has not happened to date,
however the water park is in obvious need of
renovation.
The theming is relatively simple, nice, and fitting:
old “aging” colonial buildings. From outside it
looks dilapidated; inside is dominated by the
pirate motive. After entry one meets up with
“Pirate’s Plaza” with an impressive and huge skull,
and a shipwreck in which visitors can climb about.
Here also is the huge 1,000 seat restaurant “La
Table des Pirates”.
For friends of well cared for water thrills, there is
only a mediocre offer. Apart from the kiddie pools
and the usual Lazy River that quite originally
travels though the imitation shipwreck, there is
also the longest slide in the park at 125 m, the
“Black Hole”-pipe slide, and a multi-lane-slide.
The wave pool is not uninteresting with a programme
that allows for seven different configurations
of waves; visitors can and are allowed to surf
there as well.
