KALEIDOSCOPE 

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 


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.

DÜSSELDORF SCHAUSTELLERVERBAND E.V. 

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”. ■

The pretzel experts: Kevin, 

Andreas, Vivien and Sabine 

Grimmer (f.r.t.l.) 

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.

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 

Photos: Helmut Bresler, Stadt Regensburg 

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. 

10

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!

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

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,

Then it will travel on to Leipzig and the

to enthral its public. From Recklinghausen 

it will go on to Kehl in South-West Germany, then on 

to Bavaria and the Gern Dult in Eggenfelden 

(where it will be officially inaugurated), and Burghausen. 

Thereafter “The Beast” will speed onwards

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 


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 

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 

handed over to several professional 

40

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.

Opening of the “Salzburg 

Dult 1975” at the exhibition 

centre in Liefering

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.

Anzeigenschluss für das Juniheft ist Freitag, 10. Mai

SCHRIESHEIM 


Norman Vogt 

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.

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: 


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) 


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 Easter Fair is held in 

“The Common” Park 

Leigh Danter’s 

“Superstar” and Edward 

Danter’s “Oxygen” Booster 

49

Leigh Danter’s “Superstar”, Cole’s Waltzer, Craig 

Danter’s “Superbowl”, Guy & John Evan’s “Tagada”, 

George Brewer’s “Midnight Express”, John 

Wall’s “Orbiter”, Charles Ive’s “Runaway Train” 

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.

HISTORY 

NATIONAL FAIRGROUND ARCHIVE DIGITAL 

Since it was launched in 1994, the 

National Fairground Archive at the 

University of Sheffield has become 

an important resource for 

the study of British travelling fairs, 

circuses, amusement parks, and 

social history. But now funfair 

fans don’t have to travel to Great 

Britain to discover the depth and 

diversity of its collections.

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. 

Nostalgia Carousels 



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

construction of the moving boats powered by a multiple 

transmission rod drive, providing the swinging 

movement from the roof of the carousel. Last year, 

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. 

At the Christmas Market on Gustav-Gründgens- 

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- 

The manufacturer 

of the 14-section horse 

carousel is unknown

NOSTALGIA

scurity, but it was probably built by the Poeppig firm 

in Neustadt / Orla. This carousel is also a rarity and 

makes quite an impression, due to its excellent 

overall condition, as well as its magnificently 

decked out original mounts.

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.

CAFÉ ALEXA 


Norman Vogt 

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 

Portugal's showmen fight against the tax 

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. 

Text: 

Rolf Orschel 

Photos: Stefan Schulmerich 

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.

COASTER 

Lateral banking at up

an 81° steep drop are unique 

worldwide on a wooden 

coaster 

It’s not only the European but 

also the North American theme 

park industry that moaned at the 

onset of winter. So how good it 

was that the new wooden coaster 

at Silver Dollar City in the 

US State of Missouri was mostly 

completed already by autumn 

2012. As a result, the spectacular 

new attraction could already 

go into its soft-opening-phase 

in the middle of March, before its 

official opening took place on 

the 13 th of April.

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

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. 

The Canton Tower 

comprises of a hyperbolical 

structure of two moving

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).

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. 

Movieland to celebrate its 10 th birthday! ■ 

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. ■ 

NEW BOOK 

John Wardley, coaster 

designer and park designer 

has written an autobiography! 

The man who brought 

the theme park concept to 

Great Britain tells about his 

life in general, and his theme 

career in particular. On 158 

pages in paperback format, 

he lets readers take part in 

his experiences in theatre, in 

the circus, as James Bond 

creative member, and naturally 

as theming specialist for 

Madam Tussauds and Alton 

Towers. The autobiography 

“Creating my own Nemesis” 

is published by Create- 

Space Independent Publishing 

Platform (ISBN-13:978- 

1484049143) and costs 9,99 

Pounds.

Swarovski Kristallwelten 

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.

REVIVAL: HUSS CLASSIC RIDES 

This photo example 

shows a “King Kong” at 

Bobbejaanland, a “Giant 

Frisbee” at Cedar Point, 

and a “Condor” at Serengeti 

Park Hodenhagen 

Huss Park Attractions is currently experiencing 

a renaissance of its so called classic rides, 

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 

Turkey and the IMG Theme Park in Dubai. ■

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.
