KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
PIRATENSCHAUKEL<br />
Christopher Nitsche<br />
and his “Piratenschaukel”<br />
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />
Last year, Christopher<br />
Nitsche from Erpolzheim<br />
(Palatinate) took over the<br />
“Piratenschaukel” from<br />
Erich Winter from Worms,<br />
who had built this kiddie<br />
swing himself in 2006.<br />
The light-weight swing (6 m<br />
front, 8.50 m with paybox) is<br />
completely made of aluminium<br />
and can be towed by car<br />
for transportation. After the<br />
takeover, the front was newly<br />
sheeted and newly painted by the Baumann Atelier<br />
firm from Flomersheim. The five boats were dismantled<br />
and equipped with a new floors and seats. All the<br />
screws were removed and replaced by new, highquality<br />
steel examples. Moreover, the lamps were<br />
replaced by LEDs. Finally, a new undercarriage<br />
tarpaulin was mounted. This done, the attraction was<br />
ready for its première under new management at the<br />
Martinsmarkt in Erpolzheim. The five “Piratenschaukel”<br />
boats were newly and variously painted. The pink<br />
boat quickly turned out to be the favourite boat of the<br />
girls, who often even put up with a protracted waiting<br />
time to be able to swing in their boat. Boys, however,<br />
prefer the “Black Perl” boat. Nitsche’s “Piratenschaukel”<br />
is presented at smaller events in<br />
Palatinate.<br />

New: “Bora Bora”<br />
BORA BORA<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Norman Vogt<br />
Bernhard (l.) and Walter<br />
Parpalioni at the opening<br />
“Bora Bora” is the name of<br />
the new games booth from<br />
Bernhard Parpalioni from<br />
Stuttgart that went into<br />
operation at the Mainz<br />
Johannisfest. It is a modern<br />
coin-operated attraction<br />
with a total of 118 modern<br />
games, which were ordered<br />
from a firm in Brussels.<br />
Previously, Bernhard Parpalioni<br />
toured together with his<br />
father Walter with the large<br />
Continental Pick stand “City Shop”. His new attraction<br />
is entirely open, and while the showman built the<br />
9 x 4.50 m wagon himself, he contracted the Afaw<br />
firm to realise his design ideas for the “Bora Bora”:<br />
namely; beach, ocean and a South Sea “feel”. Other<br />
striking features are the light-green flooring and the<br />
latest lighting system. The games booth has<br />
electrical requirements of just 18 kW. Next to the<br />
attraction benches have been put up, inviting<br />
guests to linger and enjoy. Further decoration<br />
elements are palm trees and reeds. During the<br />
première in Mainz, a team of entertainers<br />
guaranteed a party atmosphere, presenting<br />
every guest with a Hawaiian flower garland. ■<br />

CORTINA JET<br />
KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
The Lauwers firm has<br />
introduced the “Cortina Jet”<br />
in Belgium<br />
The ride was last put into<br />
storage at a Finnish<br />
amusement park<br />
Text: Ton Koppei<br />

There are ride attractions which remain ageless<br />
and enduringly fascinating despite their<br />
advanced age. The "Bayernkurve", built by the<br />
now defunct Anton Schwarzkopf firm, is one of<br />
those attractions. Wherever an attraction like<br />
this appears, it is always highly popular with<br />
passengers and spectators alike.<br />
The Belgian showman René Lauwers, who had<br />
been looking for a suitable example of this classic<br />
ride for some time, finally hit it lucky in far away Finland<br />
in late 2011, where a Bayernkurve “Cortina<br />
Jet”, last operated in the Tykkimaki amusement<br />
park, had been in storage for some time.<br />
Even though it had been<br />
built in 1970, the<br />
construction was in very<br />
good technical condition.<br />
Lauwers purchased<br />
the attraction, overhauled<br />
it in his limited<br />
free time, prepared it for<br />
touring and presented it<br />
at this year’s Pentecost Fair in Antwerp.<br />
Despite most of the decoration elements not then<br />
being completed and adequate lighting largely<br />
missing, the attraction was nonetheless highly<br />
popular with the public. Lauwers will build up the<br />
attraction at two to three further fairgrounds this<br />
year.<br />

Goetzke’s “Breakdance”<br />
BREAKDANCE<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Norman Vogt<br />
The visual appearance of the classic round<br />
ride “Breakdance” (Huss) from Alexander<br />
Goetzke from Munich has been successfully<br />
modernised.<br />
Its backflash and gondolas now feature wellknown<br />
figures from the world of movies – even<br />
the amusement park, where the “Breakdance”<br />
had made a temporary guest appearance was<br />
immortalized on one of the gondolas. Restyling had<br />
started already last year, with artist Pryzbilla demonstrating<br />
his skills on the “Breakdance”, having completed<br />
his job at Goetzke’s “Alex Airport” beforehand.<br />
A striking feature on the rear sides of the new gondolas<br />
is the many LEDs, which provide a spectacular and<br />
colourful lighting after dusk. The lighting pillars in the<br />
front area are now equipped with six LED screens. Restyling<br />
has not yet been completed; among other<br />
features, the name sign is to be changed to match the<br />
new design.<br />

Text & Photos: Rolf Orschel<br />
Since late April last year, the “House of Horror”<br />
Walkthrough construction has been touring under<br />
new management. The young couple, Stephanie<br />
Schieck and Patrick Plaenert from Weberstedt in<br />
the Thuringia district of Unstrut-Hainich, have<br />
taken over the attraction from the Hiddenhausen<br />
showman enterprise Johann Spindler & Sohn.<br />
Having successfully toured the attraction all over<br />
Germany for almost 20 years, the previous owner<br />
parted with the construction due to health reasons.<br />
In 1993, the attraction was built by the Soest Fahrzeugbau<br />
firm as “Das Haus” for the showman Johann<br />
Spindler, and was redesigned as the “House of<br />
Horror” 12 years ago. In order to give the construction<br />
a new individual design, many ideas from Johann<br />
Spindler and his son Sascha were realized. The front<br />
was newly painted with scenes from the world of<br />
horror and ghosts by the Kowalik Airbrushstudio, and<br />
creepy new effects were installed inside the construction.<br />
Finally, the larger-than-life sized guard welcoming<br />
the guests in front of the entrance to the construction<br />
was fitted out with a new set of black leather<br />
outfit.<br />
Two years ago, Stephanie Schieck and Patrick Plaenert<br />
founded their joint business, originally planning to<br />
tour a ride attraction. However, when they learnt last<br />
year that the “House of Horror” was up for sale, they<br />
inspected the construction, quickly struck a deal with<br />
Johann Spindler, and took it over in excellent condition<br />
in April. Shortly after that, on 27 th April, they opened<br />
their new acquisition at the Mai-Kirmes in Wesel.<br />
Even though the attraction was handed over in perfect<br />
condition, the MSR-Service firm in Mansfeld/Großörner<br />
was contracted to thoroughly overhaul the electrical<br />
equipment according to the latest standards. At the<br />
same time, the lighting system was equipped with<br />
LEDs. Moreover, additional decoration elements were<br />
mounted and new effects were installed inside and<br />
outside the attraction. Under the management of the<br />
Plaenert & Schieck GbR, the “House of Horror” will<br />
continue to provide creepy fun for the general public<br />
on two storeys. The “Folterkammer” (torture chamber)<br />
and the “Dachboden des Schreckens” (attic of horror)<br />
provide a creepy atmosphere. In addition two live actors<br />
haunt the inside and the outside of the attraction –<br />
in the afternoon modestly out of consideration for<br />
younger visitors, and horribly for adults in the evenings.<br />
During this season, the “House of Horror” will be<br />
presented, among other venues, in Zerbst, Kamenz,<br />
Weinböhla, Tangermünde, and Neuruppin. ■<br />

SKATER / SALTO MORTALE<br />
®<br />
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />
For some years, the Spanish showman<br />
firm FAF has been touring the<br />
Top Scan “Skater”. Originally, this<br />
Mondial ride went into operation in<br />
Germany under the name of “Salto<br />
Mortale” in 1997.<br />
After the first owner Mike Ahrend had<br />
sold the ride to France, it went on to the<br />
south of Europe; specifically to Spain.<br />
Unfortunately, the “Salto Mortale”, which<br />
had been effectively designed by the<br />
Elfering firm at that time, has lost much<br />
of its former visual glory. Merely a<br />
couple of stars on the arm and the<br />
occasional name sign below the seats<br />
still hint at its German past. ■<br />

CHAOS AIRPORT<br />

It will not be long before the<br />
new “Chaos Airport” Funhouse<br />
from Andrea and Mario Haberkorn<br />
from Erfurt will celebrate<br />
its première. Up until now, the<br />
Haberkorn family has been<br />
touring with Continental Pick<br />
stands, a kiddie ride, a pennypusher<br />
and a snack and drink<br />
booth. As they shut down their<br />
large Continental Pick stand<br />
“Gewinn Express” some time<br />
ago, the Haberkorms decided<br />
to have this construction rebuilt<br />
into a Funhouse. Last<br />
year, they eventually came up<br />
with the idea of the “Chaos Airport”<br />
Walkthrough construction.<br />
The renowned Dietz ride<br />
manufacturer from Schwalmstadt<br />
was contracted for the reconstruction.<br />
The theme<br />
design of the attraction is to<br />
depict an airport with a terminal,<br />
a check in, a tower, a conveyor<br />
belt, an aeroplane starting<br />
up, and other details. The<br />
course through the “Chaos Airport”<br />
is to be equipped with<br />
classic Funhouse effects.<br />
From the terminal visitors can<br />
choose between the course<br />
via a slide resembling the escape<br />
hatch of an aeroplane, or<br />
via stairs to get out of the construction.<br />
“Chaos Airport” is to<br />
celebrate its première at the<br />
Autumn Festival in Nürnberg<br />
and will be presented at the<br />
Oktoberfest in Erfurt. ■<br />

Production at KMG will be operating at full capacity<br />
until September 2014. Moreover, the ride<br />
manufacturer announced a new ride concept for<br />
late 2014 / early 2015 – and was pleased with the<br />
delivery of the tenth KMG ride for its loyal Swiss<br />
customer H.P. Maier.<br />
Maier’s novelty called “Super Chaos” is the second<br />
example of the “Sicko” Swing from KMG, and will<br />
make its first appearances in Romanshorn and<br />
Wetzikon in August. According to KMG, Maier’s<br />
“Super Chaos” has been equipped with a number of<br />
special features, such as an additional large name<br />
sign and a sound system from Hofmann. As is well<br />
known, the prototype of the Sicko, the “Air One Maxx”,<br />
went into operation under the management of French<br />
showman Dominique Lerendu last year. On completion<br />
of the “Super Chaos” for H.P. Maier, the<br />
following constructions will be built and completed at<br />
KMG up until the end of the year: one “Speed” each<br />
for Fiesta Shows in the USA, and Golden Way<br />
Amusements in Australia, as well as “Freak Out”<br />
H.P. Maier has already received his<br />
novelty “Super Chaos” (type “Sicko”)<br />
Swings for B&B Amusements (Australia), Alpine<br />
Amusements and Butler Amusements (both USA).<br />
Afterwards new constructions will be built for<br />
customers in Germany, Great Britain, Australia,<br />
Norway and the US up until September 2014. In late<br />
2014 / early 2015, KMG will introduce a new ride<br />
concept, the prototype of which will be delivered to a<br />
customer in Australia.<br />

SPASS-MOBIL<br />
Text & Photos: Uwe Holzmann<br />
At this year’s Schützenfest in Hannover, the<br />
Kirmes & <strong>Park</strong> Revue had the opportunity to see<br />
“on tour” the “Spass-Mobil” from the Oliver<br />
Steinecker firm from Schwanewede near Bremen.<br />
It is a compact Walkthrough construction with a<br />
front length of 17 metres and a depth of 6 metres,<br />
which was created for both young visitors and<br />
adults - but primarily for families with children -<br />
and went into operation at the Bremerhaven<br />
Freimarkt 2012.<br />
Already in 2011, the plan to build a small Walkthrough<br />
construction was born within the Steinecker family,<br />
who also tour three hook-a-duck constructions<br />
throughout Northern Germany. They came into<br />
contact with Mrs Witte from Hamburg, whose<br />
“Geisterschiff” Walkthrough construction had been<br />
put into storage and was up for sale. Oliver<br />
Steinecker succeeded in convincing Mrs Witte of the<br />
worthiness of his plans, and she finally sold him the<br />
“Geisterschiff”. Energetically supported by his son<br />
Lucas, it took Oliver Steinecker about half a year to<br />
rebuild the construction himself, before the Uwe<br />
Siefert artist workshop carried out the colourful<br />
painting on the construction. When the new attraction<br />
commenced operation, even the previous owner, Mrs<br />
Witte, was highly satisfied with and positively surprised<br />
by the result – an attraction under the motto<br />
“The Large Flower-Power-Family Fun”, providing a<br />
water course with rotating discs and shaking bridges,<br />
an obstacle course through colourfully painted<br />
corridors, and a mirror maze spanning a distance of<br />
some 60 metres. The 1970s design results in a colourful<br />
mix and provides a striking spot of colour on the<br />
fairgrounds.<br />
For the season 2014, there are plans for another<br />
extension of the attraction, according to which the<br />
paybox with an additional corridor is to be moved in<br />
front of the attraction. At the same time, an additional<br />
wagon will be incorporated into the construction,<br />
positioned along its right side. On two levels there will<br />
be further distance and effects added, resulting in the<br />
front length of the construction to extend to a<br />
maximum of 20 metres. This year, Oliver and Bettina<br />
Steinecker, together with their son Lucas, will present<br />
their “Spass-Mobil” at, among other venues, Bremerhaven,<br />
Diepholz, Meppen and Vegesack. ■<br />

At the time of going to press,<br />
the new “Horror Lazarett”<br />
Walkthrough construction<br />
from Lehmann-Weeber was<br />
nearing completion.<br />
As planned, the final steps in<br />
the construction could be<br />
completed on the firm’s<br />
premises in Worms during the<br />
last few weeks, so that the<br />
attraction could be ready for<br />
the first “doctor’s consultations”<br />
at the Erbach Wiesenmarkt.<br />

Currently, everybody in the showman industry<br />
is talking about Technical <strong>Park</strong> as<br />
the Italian manufacturer will introduce as<br />
many as three ride novelties this year.<br />
The first example of the “Wild Spark” ride with<br />
jumping movements has celebrated a<br />
successful première in Istanbul, Turkey. Due<br />
to the gondolas being newly constructed (of<br />
carbon fibre and equipped with plenty of light,<br />
as well as individual safety restraints) accommodating<br />
three people each, the ride is hard to compare with<br />
similar rides of this type. There are already orders for<br />
another two “Wild Spark” rides; one of them for a<br />
customer in South America and another for Turkey.<br />
Also delivered to Turkey will be the first “Pegasus 16”<br />
example, namely on 30 th August, 2013. A second<br />
version, ordered by a customer in the USA, is currently<br />
being built. With “Pegasus 16”, Technical <strong>Park</strong> aims<br />
at potential customers interested in presenting an<br />
attraction with a ride pattern differing from the constant<br />
trend towards swing and propeller rides. The same<br />
sales argument applies to the “Aerobat” ride, where<br />
passengers can control their side gondola loopings<br />
themselves. The first two constructions will be delivered<br />
to customers in Turkey and Ukraine.<br />

578 th Crange Kirmes<br />
At a press conference in late April, the Herne<br />
Lord Mayor, Horst Schiereck presented reports<br />
and photos of the 578 th Crange Fair, celebrated<br />
from 2 nd to 11 th August, to media representatives.<br />
The renowned fair event, which enjoys an excellent<br />
reputation at home and abroad, is an<br />
indispensable promotional and economic factor<br />
for the entire region, as money cannot only be<br />
made on the fairground but also out of the fair<br />
event itself. In addition to being an invaluable<br />
advertising medium for the city, it is above all the<br />
suppliers of almost all types of products who<br />
benefit from the event. Moreover, the event leads<br />
to a substantial increase in turnover of public<br />
transport, and the taxi companies also treasure<br />
the fair event.<br />
“When Crange calls, people come; because they<br />
love Crange,” said the Lord Mayor at the opening of<br />
the press conference at the Herne city hall. This<br />
flattering and self-confident statement is<br />
impressively supported by facts regarding the<br />
event. Although the duration of the event will again<br />
be reduced by half a day this year, more than 4<br />
million visitors are expected. Guests have to pass a<br />
five-kilometre front length to see all the fairground<br />
attractions. Visitors to the largest fair event in North-<br />
Rhine Westphalia will be able to enjoy about 500<br />
showmen with well-known and popular attractions,<br />
among them a number of novelties for Crange, as<br />
well as more than 50 ride and Funhouse constructions.<br />

be traded, horse-riding articles will be sold, and a<br />
horse-riding programme will be held. To this day,<br />
the horse market marks the historic origins and<br />
preserves the tradition of the Crange event. While<br />
the ride attractions are still closed on Thursday<br />
evening, the Ruhr region is celebrating its most<br />
extravagant party with all its advantages, but also<br />
disadvantages, at the “Citizen Night” in the Bayernfesthalle<br />
beer tent; the latter much to the detriment<br />
of the showmen, who have to protect their attractions<br />
from vandalism and “wild peeing”. The 578 th 10-<br />
day Crange Fair will eventually be opened on Friday<br />
at 2 p.m. by Lord Mayor Schiereck, accompanied<br />
by famous politicians and sponsors, tapping the<br />
keg inside the festival hall. As star guest at this<br />
year’s opening event, Michael Wendler will create a<br />
party atmosphere inside the Bayernfesthalle beer<br />
tent.<br />
Many Novelties<br />
Even though it is not possible to present only novelty<br />
attractions at an event the size of the Crange Fair,<br />
the organiser succeeded in putting together a very<br />
attractive entertainment contingent that will no<br />
doubt live up to the highest expectations. One of the<br />
most popular photographed motifs will have a new<br />
design this year. The “Circus” Wave-Swinger and<br />
the “Bellevue” Ferris Wheel have already been<br />
photographed together thousands of times. This<br />
year, the Wave-Swinger from Wendler will come to<br />
the Rhein-Herne-Kanal, and the Ferris Wheel will<br />
once again be the landmark towering over the fairground.<br />
The “<strong>Park</strong>our” round ride (Aigner) will make<br />
a first-time appearance in Herne, and at the same<br />
time its second appearance in North-Rhine Westphalia.<br />
Other novelties presented will be “The King”<br />
from Zinnecker and Ahrend’s “Flasher”. Originally,<br />
the some 65-metre looping ride was to celebrate its<br />
première already last year. With the “Air Race”<br />
(Bartels/Geibel), it was possible to engage a newly<br />
designed Miami.<br />
Attractive Occupancy<br />
This year Kaiser’s “Rio Rapidos” rafting ride will<br />
provide a welcome cooling down and the “Wildwasserbahn<br />
3” water ride from Löwenthal will also<br />
be presented once again. In the “Loopingschaukel”<br />
(Von Olnhausen) and the “Superhopser” (Weiß)<br />
visitors will experience fairground nostalgia, and<br />
Manfred Howey will celebrate a milestone anniversary<br />
this year, with his “Happy Sailor” appearing<br />
at Crange for the 35th time. An overview of further<br />
ride attractions being presented: “Big Monster”<br />
(Krameyer), “Breakdance” (Bonner), “Beach<br />

scheme, the “Olympia Looping” will come to the<br />
Rhine-Herne-Kanal again this year, and with the<br />
“Spinning Racer” (Bruch) another large coaster was<br />
approved. The offer of Ghost Rides will remain<br />
unchanged, with “Die große Geisterbahn” (Schütze)<br />
and the “Geisterschlange” (Lehmann) once again<br />
providing a creepy atmosphere, along with the<br />
“Panic Room” (Lemoine), which celebrated its<br />
première at Crange last year. Moreover, the show<br />
and fun sector will be represented by the “Fight<br />
Club” (Schultz/Häsler), the “Lach+ Freu-Haus”<br />
(Distel), “Psychodelic” (Häsler), “Rotor” (Pluschies),<br />
and the “Super Marci World” (Markmann). The five<br />
dodgem tracks, “Diamond” (Hartkopf/Osselmann),<br />
Schmidt’s “Drive in”, “Millennium Drive” (Quante),<br />
“Starlight” (Petter), and Isken’s “Number 1” will retain<br />
their traditional sites. For the younger visitors,<br />
the Crange Fair will present 13 different kiddie rides<br />
this year. This is a remarkable occupancy with attractions<br />
of all kinds.<br />
Directly at the Crange gate many new fan articles<br />
will be available once again. The 5,000 fair pins<br />
featuring the Crange Fair mascot, available since<br />
April, may again be sold-out after a couple of<br />
opening days. The popular fair and gastronomy<br />
passes, available in an edition of 15,000 pieces<br />
each since early July, provide substantially reduced<br />
prices.<br />
Supporting Programme<br />
According to tradition, there will be two fireworks<br />
displays; one for the opening and another one for<br />
the finale. On the Saturday, the long festival<br />
procession will wind through Herne, and on the Sunday<br />
a church service will be held inside the beer<br />
tent, which will also be the venue for committed<br />
Herne residents on Monday, celebrating children on<br />
Tuesday afternoon, and the coronation of the new<br />
Ruhr King on Tuesday evening. Wednesday will be<br />
the popular Family Day, and the Bild-Festzelthammer<br />
will rock in the Bayernfesthalle beer tent in<br />
the evening. As is tradition, Senior's Day will again<br />
be held on Thursday. The ample variety of wellchosen<br />
additional events will guarantee a substantial<br />
visitor attendance, even on weekdays.<br />
These were the plans at the time of going to press.<br />
This list is not exhaustive and subject to change. ■<br />

Fairground director Jens Siemer from the city authorities succeeded in<br />
engaging several novelty attractions for the Stoppelmarkt this year,<br />
such as the giant chain ride “Alex Airport” (Goetzke), the giant swing<br />
“Artistico” (Köhrmann), the Funhouse constructions “Aqua Velis” (Hofmann)<br />
and “Freddy´s Circus” (Zinnecker), the simulator “Traumgenerator”<br />
(Häsler/Lemoine), and the Miami “1001 Nacht” (Elsässer). Presented for<br />
the second time will be the “Poseidon” water ride from Heitmann/ Schneider.<br />
Moreover, the popular family coaster “Wilde Maus” from Barth is an<br />
absolute “must” at the Stoppelmarkt. Other attractions presented will be<br />
the Ferris Wheel (Wilhelm), the “Breakdance”(Dreher/Vespermann), the<br />
dodgem tracks “Formel Eins” (Schneider) and “Top-In” (Robrahn/Böker),<br />
the “Looping the Loop” (Marquis), “Schloss Dracula” (Schütze), “Octopussy”<br />
(Markmann), “Turbo Force” (Schäfer), the “Aqua Labyrinth” (Markmann),<br />
“Disco Swing” (Tacke), “Wellenflug” (Hanstein), “Booster” (Löffelhardt),<br />
Musik Express (Krause), “Piraten Rutsche” (Meyer), Top Spin<br />
(Ludewigt), and the “Live Boxen”<br />
boxing booth from the show sector.<br />
All in all, more than 500 showman<br />
operations were approved to the<br />
event, including 24 Funhouse and<br />
large ride attractions, as well as 20<br />
weatherproof restaurant tents.<br />
After the historic procession with<br />
motif floats, marching bands and<br />
groups on foot on the Thursday, the<br />
Stoppelmarkt will be opened by<br />
Mayor Helmut Gels at the Amtmannsbult.<br />
Further highlights in<br />
the supporting programme will be<br />
the popular backstage tour, offered<br />
by the Verein reisender Schausteller<br />
Vechta (Vechta Association<br />
of touring Showmen) for the<br />
seventh time on Friday. On the Friday<br />
afternoon from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.<br />
there will be a Happy Hour (pay<br />
once – ride twice), and on Sunday<br />
at 10 a.m., showman pastor Fuchs<br />
will hold a church service inside<br />
the Niedersachsenhalle. On Monday<br />
at 7 a.m., there will also be the<br />
traditional horse and cattle market,<br />
where deals are still struck by<br />
merely a handshake, and at 11<br />
a.m. a reception will be held for the<br />
guests of honour. Tuesday will be<br />
the designated Family Day with<br />
reduced prices up until 6 p.m. and<br />
a magnificent fireworks display will<br />
mark the end of the Stoppelmarkt<br />
at 10 p.m.<br />
In addition to sufficient parking<br />
facilities available in the immediate<br />
vicinity of the fairground, the Nordwestbahn<br />
will take the visitors<br />
directly to the Stoppelmarkt. Now<br />
for the 18 th time, the Verein reisender<br />
Schausteller Vechta will offer<br />
the popular Stoppelmarkt pin, the<br />
revenues from which are traditionally<br />
used for the maintenance and<br />
decoration of the entrance gates to<br />
the fairground, as well as for<br />
financing the flower arrangements<br />
on the showman float in the Stoppelmarkt<br />
procession, the “Kinderfinder”<br />
(lost children) pin, and the<br />
1,500 Stoppelmarkt gingerbread<br />
hearts distributed to the spectators<br />
of the procession.<br />

The Plärrer entices<br />
visitors to the Kleinen Exerzierplatz<br />
in Augsburg twice a year<br />
AUGSBURG HERBSTPLÄRRER<br />
Text & Photo: Ralf Schmitt, Rolf Orschel<br />
Poetic Justice: When the Augsburg Osterplärrer<br />
begins, as it always does on a Sunday, the city’s<br />
second major Volksfest, the Herbstplärrer will have<br />
already opened its gates the preceding Friday,<br />
resulting in 17 days of Volksfest fun from 23 rd<br />
August to 8 th September.<br />
As was the case at many other events, this year’s Osterplärrer<br />
in Augsburg suffered from adverse midwinter<br />
weather and loss in turnover. As a general rule, the<br />
Augsburg public loyally returns without fail to the Volksfest<br />
events. At this year’s Herbstplärrer, visitors will be<br />
able to experience as many as three novelties on the fairground.<br />
The major “Flasher” ride from the FTE Ahrend<br />
firm, the “Comic Trip” Miami from Benedikt Hirschberg,<br />
and the “Roll Over” Shake from Patrick Zinnecker will<br />
make their début in Augsburg. They will be joined by<br />
the “Expo Star” Ferris Wheel from Bruch, the Wave-Swinger<br />
from Baumgartner, the “Breakdance” from Karoline<br />
Diebold and the “Geheimnisse des Orients” labyrinth<br />
from Moser. Moreover, the “Rio Rapidos” rafting ride<br />
from Siegfried Kaiser Jnr., which was already presented<br />
at the Osterplärrer 2012, will make another appearance<br />
in Augsburg before it makes its way on to the Munich<br />
Oktoberfest. Naturally, there will also be numerous kiddie<br />
rides and concession stalls within all sectors, and the<br />
gastronomic operations at the Plärrer will offer the usual<br />
spicy specialities and smooth, delicious beer. Opening<br />
hours at the Herbstplärrers: Monday to Friday from midday<br />
to 11 p.m., Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.,<br />
and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. By the way,<br />
according to official records, the first Herbstplärrer was<br />
held as far back as 1878 – thus the event is already 135<br />
years old.The Augsburg Plärrer on the Kleinen Exerzierplatz<br />
fairground entices the public twice a year. ■

HISTORY<br />
A painting from the<br />
good old days: Showman<br />
Loosen touring the dodgem<br />
track<br />
On the occasion of the 375 th<br />
anniversary of the Düren Annakirmes,<br />
there were many additional<br />
events added to the usual<br />
line up. This most outstanding<br />
and popular event in the town’s<br />
calendar entices some 1 million<br />
visitors to the fairground on the<br />
Rur banks every year.<br />

Exhibition: Showman Art<br />
The anniversary exhibition is<br />
still open up until the 18 th August<br />
To get the public attuned to the anniversary fair<br />
beginning on 27 th July, the Leopold-Hoesch-<br />
Museum in the Düren town centre presented a<br />
special exhibition. In the museum, many exhibits<br />
were effectively displayed on several floors. The<br />
exhibition, professionally laid out and operated<br />
down to the smallest detail, documented the life and<br />
work of the showmen in the last few centuries. The<br />
exhibits were put together from other museums,<br />
private collections and loans made available by the<br />
showmen. Moreover, private individuals displayed<br />
an ample selection of pictures. Outstanding exhibits<br />
were the Moppen booth (sweets) from 1935 and the<br />
28
historic Swing Boat from 1929. Old dodgem cars,<br />
mounts, artwork, carousel horses, figures and<br />
decoration elements take visitors on an interesting<br />
journey through time. Moreover, many historic<br />
photos from all sections of the showman industry<br />
were effectively presented. A number of old fairground<br />
models in various scales rounded off the<br />
well-worthwhile exhibition. In addition to the<br />
stationary objects, there were also moving pictures.<br />
In the exhibition rooms films from the Düren Annakirmes<br />
throughout the last few decades were<br />
presented, providing a 'goose pimply' atmosphere.<br />
Visitors were astounded by the attractions that have<br />
appeared in Düren throughout the past decades.<br />
Historic Fair<br />
Another highlight to mark the anniversary fair was a<br />
historic fair held around the Leopold-Hoesch-<br />
Museum from 28 th June to 7 th July. Rides presented<br />
were the “Selbstfahrer”, a nostalgic Chair-o-Plane,<br />
the “Moulin Rouge” show booth, a nostalgic Ferris<br />

attractions. Particularly interesting was the kiddie<br />
carousel from the Katzschmann family from Mittweida<br />
in Saxony, which was presented in North-<br />
Rhine Westphalia for the first time. The Kirmes &<br />
<strong>Park</strong> Revue has already published a detailed report<br />
about this carousel. Nonetheless, its unique and<br />
lovingly made mounts are always well worth seeing.<br />
Even the original sandman made his rounds in a<br />
helicopter. One can only congratulate the town of<br />
Düren on both events, giving a first-class presentation<br />
of the history of the showman industry and the<br />
Düren Annakirmes.<br />
■<br />
Wheel, a Looping Swing and a Galloper. Games<br />
booths of that time, Hi-Strikers, historic vehicles,<br />
sweets and an organ rounded off the selection of<br />

old organs<br />
On the occasion of the 75 th anniversary of the<br />
Stuttgart Frühlingsfest this year, visitors were<br />
able to be taken on a journey through the<br />
history of the event as a result of a large<br />
number of loans provided by the showmen from<br />
the “Ländle”, as Baden-Württemberg is lovingly<br />
called by its residents. The Historic Wasen<br />
gave visitors free-of-charge insights into the<br />
history of the colourful and fascinating world of<br />
the showman industry.<br />
From 20 th April to 9 th May between 1 p.m. and 8<br />
p.m., visitors had the opportunity to get a look into<br />
the good old days and gather numerous impressions<br />
of the fairgrounds from the year dot. On an<br />
area of some 1,200 square metres, the showmen<br />
presented historic tractors and caravans, Galloper<br />
mounts, fairground organs, carousel decoration,<br />
advertising posters and an exhibition tent displaying<br />
snapshots and countless pictures. Most of<br />
them were black-and-white photos larded with<br />
many stories of showmen and their families.<br />
Wasen fans were also given an understanding of<br />
sound and informative details. The exhibition was<br />
very well received, and despite decreasing visitor<br />
numbers due to the weather, the Historic Wasen<br />
was a big success. Coming from the car park area,<br />
it was located directly at the entrance to the festival<br />
grounds, where a large number of pictures and<br />
photos on the fences enticed visitors to the exhibition.<br />
Passing through the festively decorated<br />
entrance gate, visitors found themselves in the<br />
middle of the exhibition. Immediately, their attention<br />
was drawn to a beautiful and well-kept<br />
“salon caravan” from Heinrich Mack, which showed<br />
the limited space showmen on tour used to live<br />
in. The caravan was built for the Rick firm from<br />

HISTORY<br />
Old mounts spread a<br />
nostalgic flair<br />
The way showmen lived<br />
earlier when touring<br />
Hannover in 1927, and was given to Roland Koch<br />
as a wedding present in the 1960s.<br />
Today his son Thomas Koch is the owner of this<br />
gem, which was lovingly restored and is not<br />
exhibited very often. Various historic fairground<br />
organs accompanied the event with their classic<br />
tunes. A special example was placed in the<br />
entrance area of the tent. It was built by the Ruth<br />
und Sohn firm and presented itself in perfect<br />
condition. Both older and younger visitors lingered<br />
and stayed in front of it for a long time to listen to<br />
the music.<br />
The large number of tractors and traction units<br />
were also much admired and examined. On show<br />
were several different examples once used to<br />
transport the attractions from one fairground to<br />
another. Among the typical showman traction units<br />
from that time numbered, for example, the 40-HP<br />
Hanomag R40, built in 1948 and the 1950s Deutz<br />
built by the Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz AG, which is<br />
lovingly preserved and cared for by Robert Lehmann.<br />
A visual highlight was the Lanz Bulldog HR<br />
7 from 1939. Another much admired vehicle was a<br />
Kramer all-wheel-drive, still requiring some restoration.<br />
Panels provided a lot more information than<br />
only HP, drive and braking systems. In the outside<br />
area, there was a number of more modern traction<br />
units used for transport to this very day, such as an<br />
MB Actros 1851 from the showman enterprise<br />
Joachim Kritz & Sohn.<br />
Tradition continued inside the festival tent, where<br />
several precious objects and many requisites were<br />
exhibited, showing the history of the showman<br />
industry from the 19 th century to this day. Moreover,<br />
a number of old dodgem track chaises, swing<br />
boats, wooden horses, and historic, original front<br />

HISTORY<br />
Tradition continues in<br />
the festival tent<br />
An aerial view of the<br />
Wasen in the 70s<br />
parts with the name sign “Der wilde Weinberg”<br />
could be admired. Many pictures on the walls<br />
showed the development of the dodgem tracks<br />
and also different Switchbacks, which used to be<br />
built only from wood. Also exhibited were some<br />
modern ride and funhouse attractions, which<br />
provided an appealing contrast. The king-sized<br />
“showman book” containing photos of regional<br />
showman families and their ride attractions may<br />
well have been a unique exhibit. A lot of background<br />
information on different showman generations,<br />
valuable information about the years the<br />
individual attractions were bought right up to today<br />
– everything was listed in chronological order.<br />
There was even a detailed overview of the number<br />
of Ghost rides from the Lehmann family. In addition<br />
to the “Geister Schlange” known today, photos of<br />
the “Geister Grotte”, the “Geister Schlucht”, and<br />
the “Geister Burg” documented the host of attractions<br />
from the family enterprise. Moreover, there<br />
were many photos from the Fritz Kinzler family,<br />
regularly presenting current and breath-taking<br />
rides in Stuttgart, ranging from the “Ski Lift”<br />
purchased in 1963, the “Jumbo Jet” from 1970, the<br />
“Looping Star” (1978), the “Korkenzieher-Achterbahn”,<br />
and the “Heartbreaker” (1980) to the<br />
current “Breakdance No. 1”. In addition to the ride<br />
and funhouse attractions there were also pictures<br />
from many a snack and sweets booth.<br />
The Historic Wasen was a successful exhibition<br />
with many relics and documents from the good old<br />
days, mainly collected and arranged by the showmen<br />
Stefan Kinzler, Joachim Kritz, Nico Lustenauer,<br />
and Roland Maier.<br />

SLUSH & EIS FACTORY<br />

Norman Vogt<br />
New: The “Slush & Eis<br />
Factory” from Jasmin Scherrle<br />
At the Würzburg Frühjahrsvolksfest,<br />
Jasmin Scherrle from Stuttgart<br />
opened her new “Slush &<br />
Eis Factory” attraction. After the<br />
so-called “pre-opening” in<br />
Würzburg, the attraction was<br />
officially inaugurated at the subsequent<br />
venue, the Frühlingsfest<br />
in Stuttgart.<br />
The young woman has been touring<br />
as an independent showwoman<br />
for nine years now. Four<br />
generations of her family have already<br />
travelled with ice cream wagons to many prestigious<br />
events throughout the entire federal territory.<br />
The new sales wagon was built by the Dietz firm<br />
according to the suggestions and ideas of the customer.<br />
Its modern visual appearance with ice cream<br />
and slush motifs in the front area is highly appealing,<br />
and the gearwheels in the upper front area, emphasizing<br />
the “factory” theme, are an eye catcher. After sundown,<br />
the LED and neon lighting make a very harmonious<br />
impression, and the interior lighting of the<br />
“Slush & Eis Factory” is equipped with day and night<br />
mode settings. For the first time, the Dietz firm has incorporated<br />
a remote-controlled “Mover-System”,<br />
retracting both axles into an attraction. As a result, the<br />
sales wagon can be hydraulically lowered to the<br />
ground without a problem. Apart from various types of<br />
ice cream, the product range also includes the<br />
“Factory Twister Eis” which can optionally be mixed<br />
with Smarties, roasted almonds, biscuits or fresh fruits<br />
in a kind of shaker. Also offered are refreshing slush<br />
drinks in many flavours and different sizes. The<br />
première in Stuttgart was followed by appearances in<br />
Freiburg, Nördlingen, Pforzheim and Würzburg. This<br />
season, Jasmin Scherrle will present her new attraction<br />
in, among other venues, Hof, Crailsheim and at the<br />
Cannstatt Wasen in Stuttgart. The wagon has ground<br />
measurements of 7 x 3.50 metres, a height of 6.20<br />
metres, and a power demand of 20 kW.<br />

Thomas Schmidt from Bremen<br />
opened in November last year<br />
his rustic style mobile bar<br />
"Waldhütte" built by the Dietz<br />
Fahrzeugbau firm, at the new<br />
Mannheim "Märschenwald"<br />
Christmas Market.<br />
The attraction which naturally is<br />
also used on Volksfests and other events, is built as<br />
a container on a wagon, is hydraulically folded, and<br />
offers place for up to 20 guests. Standing and<br />
sitting possibilities invite visitors to linger<br />
and enjoy. The sitting area is comfortable<br />
with stools that are covered with artificial fur<br />
that emphasis the flair of a "forest hut". The<br />
outside area during the première in Mannheim<br />
was orientated on the theme "fairytale<br />
forest" with the roof windows installed at an<br />
angle.<br />
Moose "Manni" quickly became the public's darling,<br />
humming lively songs from under the roof. ■<br />

Since summer 2012 in<br />
Germany: Nickel’s<br />
“Fliegender Teppich”<br />
In the summer of 2012, Romano<br />
Nickel from Ingelheim took over<br />
a “Fliegender Teppich” ("Flying<br />
Carpet") from the Schäfer family<br />
from Switzerland. In Germany,<br />
this ride type is primarily associated<br />
with the construction of<br />
the same name built by Zierer.<br />
The “Fliegende Teppich” from<br />
Nickel, however, was built by the<br />
former Italian manufacturer SDC<br />
– and thereby is a truly exotic<br />
ride.<br />
Flying Carpet<br />
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />
Romano Nickel with his<br />
partner Jessica Frankholz<br />
Under the management of its previous owner<br />
Schäfer, the ride built in 1984 was a very<br />
popular guest at many events in Switzerland, and<br />
that was one of the reasons why he remained true to<br />
it for almost 30 years. The SDC attraction is slightly<br />
similar in construction to the carpet version created<br />
by the German Fähtz firm. In contrast to other<br />
carpet examples, its gondola accommodating 40<br />
people is completely roofed. The ride was built onto<br />
two trailers, which are incorporated into the<br />
construction. Building up the 20 x 8 metre construction,<br />
which according to the manufacturer has<br />
electrical requirements of 180 kW and a height of 14<br />
metres, requires a small crane. The backflash,<br />
featuring typical oriental motifs from the Arabian<br />
Nights legend, comes from the 1980s. The missing<br />
name sign is currently being rewired and is to be<br />
mounted in the near future.<br />

EXOTIC<br />
As a special feature, the<br />
gondola accommodating 40<br />
people is roofed over<br />
For Romano Nickel, who<br />
operates the attraction together<br />
with his partner Jessica<br />
Frankholz, it is the first ride that<br />
the couple have owned. After<br />
the takeover last year, the<br />
attraction was built up on the<br />
premises before it was presented at a small event in<br />
Bendorf for the first time. Behind the backflash,<br />
there are two electrical control boxes holding the<br />
entire electronic control system for the ride sequence<br />
and the lighting system. Both drive motors<br />
are located on the two supports, to which the arms<br />
are mounted. In addition to other planned changes,<br />
the backflash is also to be newly painted before too<br />
long. By the way, the gap in the backflash originally<br />
used to be the exit. Nowadays however, passengers<br />
embark and disembark in the front section.<br />
While it takes one day to build up, dismantling is<br />
accomplished within 7 to 8 hours. Romano Nickel will<br />
tour this Italian version of the “Fliegender Teppich”<br />
mainly throughout South-West Germany. ■ Side view during the<br />

KIDDIE RIDES<br />
Robert Hoffmann’s<br />
new purchase: the kiddie<br />
ride “Abenteuerland”<br />
At the Wurzen Frühlingsfest,<br />
showman Robert Hoffmann from<br />
Schkeuditz presented his newly<br />
purchased used kiddie track ride<br />
“Abenteuerland” for the first<br />
time.<br />

In October 2011, Robert Hoffmann founded his<br />
own showman business with the “Formel 1<br />
Monaco” kiddie track ride he took over from his<br />
grandfather, showman Hans Dieter Splitt. Originally,<br />
this kiddie ride had been a kiddie dodgem track<br />
built by the Ihle firm in Bruchsal for the showman<br />
enterprise Levi/Stoner. In the early 1980s, the<br />
kiddie dodgem track was rebuilt into a kiddie track<br />
ride by a ride manufacturer in Spain, with the track<br />
and the course platform being integrated into the<br />
former dodgem track. After its completion, the<br />
“Formel 1 Monaco” caused a veritable 'kiddie track<br />
ride boom' in Germany, together with the “Zauberwelt”<br />
from the Levy showman enterprise, the first<br />
kiddie track ride touring throughout Germany,<br />
which had also been rebuilt from a kiddie dodgem<br />
track in Spain. The Levy/Stoner firm operated the<br />
kiddie ride for about 7 years before it was taken<br />
over by Hans Dieter Splitt in the early 1990s, who<br />
went on to successfully operate the construction<br />
for more than 20 years. After the takeover, Robert<br />
Hoffmann loaded the kiddie track ride on a threeaxle<br />
roller. Due to the lack of space, he occasionally<br />
builds up the construction without a roof, which<br />
is quite risky though, as water finds its way into the<br />
upper track in rain. “Formel 1 Monaco” has ground<br />
measurements of 18.5 x 10 metres and electrical<br />
requirements of 40 kW.<br />
Takeover at the Beginning of 2013<br />
Early this year, Robert Hoffmann took over the<br />
“Abenteuerland” kiddie track ride, built for the<br />
Augsburg showman Josef Diebold by the Dietz<br />
firm in Schwalmstadt in 1997, in order to be more<br />
40
KIDDIE RIDES<br />
“Formel 1 Monaco”<br />
is presented without a roof<br />
flexible on tour and to expand his business. As the<br />
construction was handed over in first-class<br />
condition, no technical or visual overhaul was required.<br />
It will not be long though before several<br />
additional decoration elements will be mounted, to<br />
give the kiddie track ride a distinctly personal<br />
touch. Due to a staff and baggage container being<br />
built on an interchangeable flat-bed unit hauled by<br />
a traction unit, relocating the kiddie track ride requires<br />
only one transport. Robert Hoffmann presents<br />
the two kiddie track rides together with his<br />
girlfriend Diana Neutzsch, mainly at Volksfest<br />
events in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and<br />
Brandenburg. “Abenteuerland” has ground<br />
measurements of 14 x 7.5 metres and electrical<br />
requirements of 40 kW.<br />

SALZBURG<br />
Text & Photo: Claudia Castellazzi<br />
Over the years, the Salzburg Dult, known as the<br />
largest Volksfest in Western Austria, has become a<br />
well-established event. This year, the event celebrated<br />
a special anniversary, namely, the 40 th Dult<br />
held in the Salzburg exhibition centre, where everything<br />
was dedicated to a fair section, festival halls,<br />
market merchants, partying and numerous special<br />
events for nine days, from 18 th to 26 th May.<br />
Despite the sometimes rainy and stormy weather, the<br />
event enticed 131,000 visitors, much to the delight of<br />
the organiser, “Our region is not frightened off by low<br />
temperatures!” This year, a long procession with more<br />
than 650 members of the association followed by an<br />
opening ceremony with 500 guests of honour directly<br />
at the fairground heralded the beginning of the Salzburg<br />
Volksfest. Even this opening march through the<br />
medieval city centre caused a furore, due not least to<br />
the large number of spectators. It's not for nothing that<br />
the Salzburg Dult is known as the largest Volksfest in<br />
Western Austria, as visitors were not only awaited by<br />
more than 160 showmen, market merchants and<br />
booths, but also enthralled by a well-thought-out and<br />
attractive supporting programme for nine days, be it<br />
the Traditional Costumes Day, Family Day, Fire Brigade<br />
Day, Seniors' Day, or the Country Weekend held on the<br />
second Dult weekend. The Dult organisers succeeded<br />
in attracting all kinds of target groups to the festival<br />
area and in creating a real synergy between the<br />
festival halls, fairground and market hall. Particularly<br />
well-received by the exhibitors and the showmen were<br />
the promotional tools with a voucher booklet, the expanded<br />
family programme and the company events.<br />
As a result, fixed bookings for the Dult from renowned<br />
companies could be extended and increased. “We<br />
owe the large number of bookings to the reopened<br />
market hall with free entry, the good live musical acts,<br />
the culinary delicacies inside the festival halls and the<br />
frenetic sales talks in the run-up to the Dult,” said<br />
Michaela Glinz, in charge of the Dult, which will be held<br />
from 7 th to 15 th June next year.<br />

The fairground was more<br />
appealing than in the previous<br />
years<br />
Text & Photo: Michael Petersen<br />
The Heddesdorf Pfingstkirmes, held from 17 th to<br />
21 st May this year, combines ancient customs with<br />
a modern fair event. Every year, the well-known<br />
and popular event entices not only the residents,<br />
but also many guests from the surrounding<br />
towns, to the Pfingstwiese-fairground.<br />
It must be said though, that the unpaved fairground<br />
is in a desolate condition. For some years now the<br />
showmen have fought in vain for improved<br />
conditions of the fairground, but due to empty<br />
coffers there is unlikely to be any improvement in the<br />
near future. Moreover, there have been ongoing rumours<br />
that due to a garden show, the complete area,<br />
or at least a large part of it, will fairly soon no longer<br />
be available for events. For the second time now the<br />
fair event already began on the Friday before Pentecost,<br />
and closed on the following Tuesday evening.<br />
To mark the traditional opening on Saturday, the Heddesdorf<br />
fraternity and the Pfingstreiter (Pentecost<br />
Riders) invited the public to the “Nobersch Bank”,<br />
whereas the second part of the opening was<br />
celebrated on the fairground afterwards. Two heavy<br />
horses drew a decorated festival wagon followed by<br />
the Pfingstreiter Burschenschaften (Pentecost Rider<br />
fraternities), local politicians, the showmen and<br />
many guests. Afterwards, the event was officially<br />
opened by the Mayor tapping the keg and the traditional<br />
cannon salute. The closing day was once<br />
again completely dedicated to the Pfingstreiter. At 10<br />
a.m. they set out for the Pfingstritt (Pentecost Ride)<br />
at the “Vadderdach” on Bimsstraße, from where they<br />
first ride to Rommersdorf and then on to Engers,<br />
where the riders collect their tribute around noon.<br />
This way, an ancient tradition of the Heddesdorf<br />
fraternities and the Engers Bürgerverein (Engers<br />
resident association) is preserved. Too bad though<br />
that the Pfingstreiter do not celebrate their own party<br />
42
with music, dancing, and food and drink on the<br />
Pfingstwiese-fairground.<br />
This year’s Pentecost Fair was much more attractive<br />
than in the last few years, with some 70 showmen<br />
presenting their attractions on the 15,000-m 2 fairground.<br />
Most prominent among them were the cosy<br />
beer gardens, which were very well received.<br />
The area was effectively laid out as a classic circuit<br />
course. The “Movie Star” Ferris Wheel (Henschel)<br />
provided its passengers with a perfect view of the<br />
attractions offered, namely the “Spinning Racer”<br />
coaster (Bruch), “Circus Circus” (Bruch/Gründler),<br />
“High” (Oberschelp), “Flash” (Weber), “Turbo Force”<br />
(Schäfer), and Dodgem Track (Meyer). With the<br />
“Pirates Adventure” (Schneider), “Remmi Demmi”<br />
(Janßen), “Panic Room” (Lemoine), and the “Motodrom”<br />
(Ganslmeier), there was something of a<br />
surfeit of attractions from the show and fun sector.<br />
The event was intensively and prominently advertised,<br />
with large advertising billboards being put up<br />
mainly in the more frequented areas. Well worth<br />
praising was the advertising campaign organised by<br />
the showmen Lanser, Schunk, Bruch and Meyer in<br />
the Neuwied and Heddesdorf pedestrian precincts,<br />
where 90 large gingerbread hearts placed in the<br />
retailers’ shop windows promoted the Pentecost Fair.<br />
The stakes for next year's event are quite high now.<br />
However, visitor numbers proved that the Pentecost<br />
Fair certainly presents strong potential. The challenge<br />
now is to keep up the standard achieved. ■<br />

SCHIFFERSTADT<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Norman Vogt<br />
Schifferstadt is located in the Rhine-Neckar metropolis<br />
region, in the heart of the Central Palatinate.<br />
Every year in early June, the 20,000-resident town celebrates<br />
its Rettichfest, or Radish Festival. The name<br />
comes from the fact that Schifferstadt is one of the<br />
largest radish growing areas in Germany. This year,<br />
the festival began on 31 st May and ended on 4 th June.<br />
After the opening, the supporting programme, which<br />
changes daily, offered an ample choice of events once<br />
again this year. Be it the traditional Rettichlauf on Saturday,<br />
the open shopping Sunday, or the Family Day on<br />
the last opening day, they all spurred visitors to take part.<br />
Unfortunately, this was not reflected by the showmen’s<br />
revenues, which were given as quite poor at the close of<br />
the event. However, this was not new for the participating<br />
showmen, who have experienced a steady decrease<br />
in visitor numbers and therefore also in turnover, for some<br />
time now. However, it must be said that the promotion of<br />
the event was woefully inadequate; one would imagine<br />
that a respectable placement of advertising in the local<br />
press and a satisfactory poster promotion would have<br />
been quite “manageable”. On the fairground a number<br />
of appealing ride attractions was presented once again.<br />
For the second time, Wingender’s “Air Crash” appeared<br />
in Schifferstadt. In addition to a nostalgic dodgem track<br />
visitors encountered the “Himalaya” Switchback from<br />
Michael Spangenberger as well as the “Break Dance”<br />
(Spangenberger). The younger visitors enjoyed two<br />
classic rides and a bungee construction, and the fairground<br />
was replete with booths and stalls. ■<br />

OBERHAUSEN-STERKRADE<br />
Text: Michael Petersen<br />

The opening day of this year’s Sterkrade Fronleichnamskirmes,<br />
held from 29 th May to 3 rd June,<br />
suffered from heavy rainfall. The fairground holy<br />
eve, highly popular with the Sterkrade citizens,<br />
was “washed away”. Heavy downpours and<br />
autumn temperatures spoiled the usually happy<br />
fairground atmosphere.<br />
Nevertheless, a few tireless visitors met at “their”<br />
beverage stalls and resolutely remained there, as<br />
only very few visitors wanted to stroll across the fairground.<br />
While the gastronomic operations attained<br />
at least some revenues, the other participants earned<br />
hardly any money at all. Rain was followed by<br />
sunshine though, and the fairground was virtually<br />
besieged by masses of visitors on Thursday. From<br />
the city and from all over the Ruhr region visitors<br />
rushed to the Sterkrade district to happily celebrate.<br />
The rides operated to the limits of<br />
their capacity and the sales stalls<br />
and gastronomic operations were<br />
quite crowded. On Corpus<br />
Christi Day, not only did the sky<br />
brighten up but also the mood of<br />
the showmen. In the following<br />
days, Sterkrade was spared any<br />
rainfall and the fairground was<br />
very well attended. Therefore,<br />
the review of the fair was quite<br />
positive. According to the organiser,<br />
visitor attendance was up on<br />
the previous year, exceeding the<br />
one million mark. However, the<br />
financial results achieved are<br />
much more important than visitor<br />
numbers.<br />
The largely successful layout of<br />
the Corpus Christi Day Fair<br />
matched up to expectations. The<br />
novelty attraction “Alpen-Hotel” would certainly<br />
have been more effective on a top-end site though.<br />
Markmann’s “Octopussy” was built up on the site<br />
where the “Krake” has already made successful<br />
appearances several times. Due to this arrangement,<br />
the attraction could not provide a novelty<br />
effect however. With only one side of the ramp between<br />
the market and the station being occupied<br />
this year, this area was better presented and less<br />
crowded. The fair attractions usually being presented<br />
in this area were built up near the station this time.<br />
Also interesting were corresponding entries in the<br />
fairground forums on the Internet, which revealed<br />
the common desire for a changed layout of the fairground.<br />
The market and the Hirschhügel fairgrounds<br />
were particularly criticised. Some one<br />
million visitors seemed not to be bothered, however.<br />
From Thursday they celebrated the traditional<br />
Corpus Christi Day Fair with the benefit of perfect<br />
weather.<br />

BIELEFELD<br />
A LOOK BACK<br />
Text & Photo:<br />
Nils Benthien<br />
From 24 th to 26 th May, the 40 th Leineweber-Markt took<br />
place in the Bielefeld city centre. The city festival<br />
was held for the first time in 1974, when it marked<br />
three occasions; namely, the 25 th anniversary of the<br />
German Basic Law, the visit of then Federal<br />
President Gustav Heinemann and the beginning of<br />
a Berlin Week for showmen, trade and gastronomy.<br />
Since 1975, the city festival is called “Leineweber-<br />
Markt”.<br />
The three-day event is organised by the Bielefeld<br />
Marketing GmbH. On six stages and three action<br />
areas, more than 1,000 actors offered a first class programme.<br />
The colourful mixture of live music, street magicians,<br />
acrobats and fairground attractions, as well as<br />
the offering of many interesting delicacies, was well<br />
received by the visitors. While a nostalgic market with<br />
Nessel’s horse carousel and the nostalgic Ferris Wheel<br />
from Feldmann was held on Jahnplatz, Krause’s Musik-<br />
Express and the “Formel 1” dodgem track (Schneider)<br />
awaited the public at the city hall. At the Kunsthalle the<br />
“Movie Star” Ferris Wheel from Henschel provided<br />
visitors with a view across Bielefeld, and the Jodokus<br />
Kirchplatz accommodated a medieval market for the<br />
first time. The younger visitors were able to enjoy a<br />
pony ride, walking-waterballs and various kiddie rides<br />
built up in the city centre. A number of sweet stalls,<br />
games and sales booths rounded of the entertainment<br />
contingent. Unfortunately, the planned target of<br />
300,000 visitors was not achieved. According to the<br />
organiser, adverse weather conditions – continuous<br />
rain and low temperatures – resulted in noticeably<br />
fewer visitors coming to the 40 th Leineweber-Markt. ■<br />

HALVER<br />
Text & Photo: Michael Petersen<br />
“Things never turn out the way you expect” – a<br />
saying that perfectly defines the changed selection<br />
of attractions presented at the Halver Kirmes<br />
(31 st May to 3 rd June). There were significant<br />
changes in the list of participants published by the<br />
Halver city authorities, due to the cancellation at<br />
short notice by the rafting ride and three other previously<br />
announced attractions.<br />
With neither the “Tornado”, “Scheibenwischer” and<br />
“Sky-Flyer”, nor the “Raftingbahn” (heralded as the<br />
main attraction to appear at Halver), the usually<br />
perfectly laid out fairground offered noticeable failings<br />
this time. Bonner’s “Breakdance”, the newly<br />
added “Twister” from Freiwald, and the “Sky Glider”<br />
(Prumbaum) for example, were built up in direct<br />
vicinity to each other on limited space, while no large<br />
ride attraction at all was presented on Hauptstraße.<br />
The “Miami” from Freiwald stepped in as a replacement<br />
on the site in front of Sparkasse building, with<br />
Weber’s “Rocket” taking its passengers high up to the<br />
sky on the top-end site. Built up in the area of the<br />
former railway station were the “Drive in” dodgem<br />
track (Schmidt) and the “Booster” (Havermann-Spelbrink).<br />
Moreover, visitors were able to enjoy the<br />
Simulator and once again the Musik Express from<br />
Wendler erected on the former loading platform, with<br />
the Musik Express being partially hidden by the<br />
large “Happy Family” Funhouse from Heine. Built up<br />
with its narrow side facing the circuit, the latter was<br />
not very effective though; certainly an avoidable layout<br />
misjudgement.<br />
Cancellations and Layout Misjudgement<br />
In short, there were many inconsistencies in Halver.<br />
Not everything can be excused<br />
by cancellations, however.<br />
One would be well-advised<br />
not to contract ride attractions<br />
that are not already on<br />
tour!<br />
Due to good weather conditions,<br />
the showmen - who also<br />
benefited from the slightly<br />
lower number of ride attractions<br />
offered - achieved<br />
satisfying results. One can<br />
only hope that Halver will be<br />
spared from cancellations<br />
next year so that the citycentre<br />
fair can be laid out<br />
according to its usual quality<br />
standard.<br />

Even prior to the event the arrangement was just<br />
perfect, promising the most attractive fairground<br />
for years, a new and reliable beer tent operator, as<br />
well as the “Oberfrankenausstellung” consumer<br />
fair with free entry. However, rainfall and low temperatures<br />
quickly shattered all hopes for an outstanding<br />
and enjoyable event.<br />
In the end, Jan Kempgens and Marc Ermer from the organising<br />
“Bayreuth Marketing & Tourismus GmbH” were<br />
quite disappointed, as the dismal weather gave rise to<br />
disastrous results. They were however quite satisfied<br />
with the choice of the new beer tent patron, Jochen Mörz<br />
from Allgäu, who really hit it off well with the people in<br />
Upper Franconia. His daughter Nadine Mörz, in charge<br />
of the organization and management, enthused about<br />
a cooperative partnership lasting well into the future.<br />
While the strong demand for food, especially for traditional<br />
hax'n spiced pork and cheese was a surprise for<br />
her, she was at the same time critical of the burgeoning<br />
choice of snack booths on the fairground. Jan Kempgens,<br />
for whom it was his eleventh Volksfest as the fifth<br />
beer tent patron, understandably hopes for a more permanent<br />
solution with regard to the participating publicans.<br />
Although there was no Ferris Wheel on the fairground,<br />
it was nonetheless the most common motif in all<br />
advertising media. The fairground was characterised<br />
by three major rides; namely, Goetzke’s “Star Flyer”,<br />
Ahrend’s “Flasher” and “Der Burner” from Zinnecker, as<br />
well as Vorlop’s large coaster “Rock & Roller”. The show<br />
and fun sector was conspicuously represented by the<br />
boxing booth from Lemoine-Heinen, Fellerhoff’s<br />
“Geisterstadt”, Hofmann-Jehn’s “Freddy’s Company”,<br />
and Kinzler’s “Omni”. Highly successful was the festival<br />
procession at the beginning of the event, which is growing<br />
ever longer and boasting more participants every<br />
year. Both the opening fireworks display on Friday and<br />
the one held at the finale on the eleventh opening day<br />
were accompanied by rainfall. What a pity.<br />

WUPPERTAL<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Michael Petersen<br />
The second Wuppertal Mega Fair was held with<br />
the benefit of almost impeccable fairground<br />
weather from 7 th to 10 th June. Several thousands<br />
of visitors rushed to the stadium at the zoo to<br />
celebrate a peaceful, four-day Volksfest event.<br />
“It was a peaceful family event that exceeded all our<br />
expectations,” Peter Fuhrmann, Chairman of the<br />
Wuppertal Showman Association summarized the 2 nd<br />
Wuppertal Mega Fair in his review. The Showman<br />
Association did not rest on its laurels with regard to<br />
the success of the première fair, but further increased<br />
the already high advertising budget, particularly as<br />
the novelty effect of the fairground had already been<br />
exhausted. Preparations for the 2 nd edition of the event<br />
began right after last year’s fair. The event was once<br />
again scheduled for the second Sunday after Corpus<br />
Christi Day, immediately after the Sterkrade<br />
Fronleichnamskirmes. In response to popular<br />
demand a section of the additional football pitch was<br />
also built up on this time. Preparations for the Wuppertal<br />
fair focussed on extensive advertising<br />
measures including 650 posters, huge displays put up<br />
at the cable car stations and 31 commercials on the<br />
local radio stations, as well as advertisements placed<br />
in the Westdeutsche Zeitung newspaper. The event<br />
was closely covered by the Wuppertal press and radio<br />
stations even during the build up, and was even<br />
covered live from the fairground by the regional WDR<br />
television station in its series “Lokalzeit Bergisch<br />
Land”. From some 500 applications received after the<br />
invitation for tender, 100 of them arriving only two<br />
weeks before the opening, it was possible to engage<br />
the “Spinning Racer” from Bruch as the main attraction.<br />
Thus a large coaster eventually came to the<br />
‘cable car city’ once again after a break of 30 years.<br />
The coaster quickly turned into the promotional<br />
emblem for the fair, soaring 55-metres high up into the<br />
sky in close proximity to the cable car from Tuesday<br />
on.<br />
The area on the Wupper was successfully laid out<br />
once again, with the “Pirates Adventure” (Schneider)<br />
and the “Venezianische Pferdekarussell” (Langenberg)<br />
built up directly in front of the cable car station.<br />
The first site inside the stadium accommodated the<br />
“Kettenflieger” (Fuhrmann), “Booster Maxxx G4”<br />
(Hoefnagels/Denies), a kiddie carousel, and the<br />
“Circus Circus” from Bruch/Gründler. The “Saturn-<br />
Flieger” from Bauer was once again placed in front of<br />
the stadium stand, and in the section constituted by<br />
the additional football pitch, visitors encountered a<br />
kiddie ride and the mega “Konga” Swing from Küchenmeister<br />
- another novelty for Wuppertal - and the<br />
aforementioned “Spinning Racer” Coaster caused<br />
quite a furore directly on the pitch. Also presented at<br />
the event was the Simulator from Sterzenbach.<br />
Novelties to be admired among the concession stalls<br />
were Plesser’s Brezel, von der Gathen’s Arcade<br />
Machine, Ritter’s Bar and “Marktplatz Nr. 1”, to name<br />
but a few. The opening day turned out to be a the first<br />
highlight, with the crowd quickly filling the fairground<br />
even in the afternoon, leaving barely any room to<br />
move for the new synchronous fireworks display in the<br />
evening. Saturday however suffered from the hot<br />
weather, which kept visitors from attending the fairground.<br />
On Sunday, the fairground was once again<br />
well frequented, just as on the Family Day on Monday.<br />
The second Wuppertal Mega Fair was opened by DSB<br />
President Albert Ritter. Throughout the quiet event the<br />
police did not have to deal with any fights, thefts, or<br />
damage to property. There were not even any<br />
complaints about the noise and positively worth<br />
mentioning was the fact that showmen left the fairground<br />
well-swept and clean.<br />
Summary: a four-day family-friendly fair without any<br />
unpleasant incidents, ideal fairground weather, satisfied<br />
showmen, and enthralled visitors. Truly, the 2 nd<br />
Wuppertal Mega Fair was real fun! All in all, the costly<br />
advertising measures, almost reaching the financial<br />
limits of the Showman Association, have paid off in<br />
numerous ways, bringing the event into the gaze of<br />
the Wuppertal public for this one, fun week. ■<br />

Those who think that carnival is the only event<br />
happily celebrated in Mainz are quite wrong. The<br />
Johannisnacht event, which was held from 21 st to<br />
24 th June this year, is highly popular with the<br />
“Meenern” - as Mainz residents are affectionately<br />
called. Therefore it is not surprising that the city<br />
centre and the banks of the Rhine are buzzing with<br />
activity and that the party goes on far into the night<br />
for four days.<br />
Not only locals like to go to their festival, but indeed<br />
people come from all over the entire greater region to<br />
join in an excess of fun and frolics. Undoubtedly, the<br />
fact that some 500,000 visitors are welcomed to the 4-<br />
day event every year speaks for itself. The Johannisnacht<br />
is organised by the Mainz city authorities, who<br />
also choose the attractions presented at its largest fair<br />
event every year. The event offered a harmonious<br />
mixture once again, and this year enjoyed sunny, dry<br />
weather and pleasant temperatures. Therefore it was<br />
no wonder that visitors rushed to the festival area and<br />
enjoyed the fine entertainment contingent.<br />
On the Saturday evening there was barely any room<br />
left in the city area and visitors had to have a lot of time<br />
and patience. The programme offered typical Johannisnacht<br />
attractions, such as the jolly and watery<br />
“printers baptism”, also known as Gautschen (an<br />
ancient trade guild custom, according to which the<br />
sins of the years of apprenticeship and the lead dust<br />
is washed off), as well as theatre, cabaret, jugglers, live<br />
musical acts on six stages, the cabaret night, the<br />
Johannis book market and the artist market on the<br />
banks of the Rhine.<br />
Among the ride and funhouse attractions spread along<br />
the banks of the Rhine and in the city centre, were a<br />
number of novelties to be tried out. Zinnecker’s “Der<br />
Burner”, with long queues forming in front of its<br />
operator stand after sundown numbered among the<br />
most spectacular among them. Another new feature<br />
and also very well frequented was Fellerhoff’s “Geisterstadt”<br />
attraction, which provided a creepy atmosphere<br />
and was built up in Mainz for the first time.<br />
Göbel’s Ferris Wheel, numbered among the regular<br />
guests in Mainz, as did the “Super-Wellenflug”, which<br />
provided visitors with a magnificent view across the<br />
Rhine. The selection of attractions built up on the<br />
banks of the Rhine was rounded off by Sottile’s<br />
“Simulator”, Barth’s “Skooter“, Wingender’s “Break<br />
Dance” and various kiddie rides. In the city centre,<br />
visitors encountered further kiddie rides, as well as the<br />
“Aqua Velis” Walkthrough construction from Hofmann<br />
and the “Show Time” show booth from Haas, which<br />
was slightly hidden away and could not be discovered<br />
at first glance. Well worth seeing was the fireworks<br />
display on the Rhine, which was held on Monday and<br />
heralded the closing of the 46 th Johannisnacht event.<br />
The festival was a great success for all the participants,<br />
and after the long, lean period with snow, rain and low<br />
temperatures in spring, satisfying financial results<br />
were eventually achieved again. “I would not mind if<br />
this went on up until the Christmas Markets,” said a<br />
good-humoured ride owner – starting up his fully<br />
occupied ride.<br />

WERNIGERODE<br />
Text & Photo:<br />
Rolf Orschel<br />
The Summer Festival in the “colourful town in the<br />
Harz Uplands” located at the foot of Mount<br />
Brocken, was held from 1 st to 9 th June under the<br />
management of Mario Siewiera from Quedlinburg.<br />
After a promising start, the public’s interest in the<br />
event noticeably dwindled after Family Day.<br />
What does the popular tourist destination with its wellpreserved<br />
historic town centre and its elaborately<br />
restored timber-framed houses offer? The well-known<br />
sights, such as the town hall on the market square -<br />
which was officially documented for the first time in<br />
1277 and ranks among the most beautiful town halls<br />
in Europe - the leaning house, the smallest house, the<br />
oldest house and the castle, the latter majestically<br />
enthroned above the town, entice masses of<br />
domestic and foreign guests at any time of the year.<br />
While there were pushing crowds in the pedestrian<br />
precinct at the time of our visit on the second Saturday,<br />
the fairground on the castle car park in Halberstädter<br />
Straße (properly paved) only a few minutes’<br />
walk away, was not really such a crowd puller. Due to<br />
generally low visitor attendance, the showmen have<br />
not attached great importance to the Volksfest events<br />
in Wernigerode for some time now. As a result, it was<br />
no surprise that only three large attractions were presented<br />
this year; namely, Hermann’s “Magic”, Welte’s<br />
“Jaguar” and the labyrinth “Atlantis – Die versunkene<br />
Stadt” (Siewiera/Drechsler). The younger visitors were<br />
able to enjoy Eckermann’s kiddie railway, the kiddie<br />
track ride from Pönitz, and the horse carousel from<br />
Drechsler/Siewiera. Moreover, a Continental Pick<br />
stand, a bowling alley, a ball throwing stall and a<br />
shooting gallery were built up in the circuit course,<br />
along with two snack booths and a sweets stall that<br />
provided visitors with food and drinks. Despite the low<br />
number of visitors during the second half of the<br />
summer festival, the participating showmen fared<br />
quite well due to relatively short journeys. ■<br />

58 operators enticed<br />

On the eleventh and final opening day of the largest<br />
Volksfest event in Lower Franconia, the showmen<br />
were well satisfied with their financial results.<br />
After bitter disappointments at previous events,<br />
such as in Erlangen and Bayreuth, business proved<br />
much better in Schweinfurt.<br />
With 58 attractions - among them “real highlights”,<br />
such as Bruch’s “Alpina-Bahn”, Blume’s “Tower Event<br />
Center” and Lehmann’s “Geister-Schlange” - the fairground<br />
on Niederwerrner Straße was well occupied.<br />
Moreover, the Ahrend firm had built up its “Flasher” for<br />
particularly daring visitors. The Bavarian State Exhibition,<br />
under the motto “Main and Sea”, will entice<br />
visitors to the 'city of ball bearings' up until October,<br />
and for Frank Reppert, head of the organising Office<br />
of Public Order and Environment and concerned very<br />
much with the issue of water consumption, it made<br />
sense to adopt an “aquatic theme” for the 104 th Volks-<br />

Trade discussions:<br />

fest event. Examples for this approach were Markmann’s<br />
“The Real Nessy” swing and his “Aqua-Labyrinth”,<br />
Krug’s “Beachwalking”, Henn’s “Lustige Seewelt”,<br />
Howey’s “Happy Sailor”, and Ahrend’s “Käpt’n<br />
Jimmy” – unfortunately, the latter two were placed<br />
directly opposite each other. Many cities have already<br />
had to cope with the withdrawal of the Americans, and<br />
now it is Schweinfurt’s turn. As a result, huge areas will<br />
be available for new purposes. Even a new fairground<br />
altogether is being considered, even though there are<br />
at present no details, and currently, nobody is particularly<br />
eager to move location. Very well established<br />
is the “Comedy-Frühschoppen” (morning beer and<br />
comedy show) with free entry to the Hahn beer tent and<br />
an exquisite performance by the impersonator, Wolfgang<br />
Krebs. Another two classic promotional media<br />
for the Schweinfurt Volksfest have lost none of their<br />
appeal; namely the lottery inside the beer tent (1 st<br />
prize: a cruise in the Caribbean) and the 16-page<br />
Volksfest paper as an insert in the daily press at the<br />
beginning of the Volksfest. Positively noticeable was<br />
the expansion of the so far limited toilet facilities by<br />
Helmut Dölle and his hygiene team. Robert Orth,<br />
contact person for the showmen of many years standing<br />
- legendary for always finding a solution to their<br />
problems - on the occasion of his resignation, received<br />
fulsome praise from the mayor in his opening<br />
address, evoking a long and well-deserved applause. ■<br />
ASCHAFFENBURG<br />
“The King” – one of the<br />
countless novelties at<br />
Aschaffenburg<br />
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />
Before the popular Aschaffenburg Volksfest<br />
(open until 24 th June) could start on 14 th June,<br />
there was some commotion within the organising<br />
body, the Aschaffenburg Kongress and Touristikbetrieben,<br />
as due to continuous rain, the Main<br />
River breached its banks, flooding the fairground.<br />
And once the floods had receded and the first showmen<br />
had assembled their attractions, the water<br />
came back again. At this point in time, the beer tent<br />
from Franz Widmann, the large water ride from<br />
Löwenthal, as well as a number of games booths had<br />
already been built up. Some showmen were able to<br />
remove their booths in time and the city authorities<br />
succeeded in dismantling their power boxes, before<br />
the river level rose again. The expert surfboarder<br />
Philipp Schramm used the Main flood to race across<br />
the water-flooded fairground accompanied by a<br />
camera. Towed by a car, he presented acrobatic<br />
tricks – and the local press reported on the “Crazy<br />
50
Trip” across the fairground. After the water had<br />
slowly receded and the fairground was reasonably<br />
dry again, the 75 operations were able to build up on<br />
the 40,000-m_ area, and there were no further<br />
obstacles in presenting the 86 th Volksfest.<br />
The organiser was able to present many novelties<br />
this year. Believe it or not, as many as eight<br />
débutantes provided the visitors with ample variety<br />
throughout the 11-day event. At 7 p.m., the event was<br />
officially opened by Mayor Klaus Herzog inside the<br />
beer tent, before the brilliant fireworks display was<br />
held in the late hours. Among the further highlights<br />
there were the Senior's Day on Monday, the Day of<br />
Companies and Associations, the Family Day, as<br />
well as the closing fireworks display with illumination<br />
of the castle on 24 th June, which once again enticed<br />
many spectators. The Ferris Wheel occupied a new<br />
site this year. It was built up on the other bank of the<br />
Main where the “Bellevue” Ferris Wheel from the<br />
Bruch firm had previously been built up, causing<br />
quite a furore back in the 1990s. Novelties presented<br />
this year included the “Artistico” from Köhrmann,<br />
“sandwiched" almost to the very millimetre between<br />
two booths, Janßen’s “Crazy Mouse“, Dölle’s “Hot<br />
Shot“, Zinnecker’s “The King“, Schäfer’s “Voodoo<br />
Jumper”, as well as the “Top Jack” Simulator from<br />
Böhm, Hempen’s “Big Bamboo”, and Fackler’s<br />
“Après Ski Party”, which replaced a ghost ride at<br />
short notice. They were joined by Schmitt’s dodgem<br />
track, Fackler’s “Rallye Monte Carlo“, Keller’s chain<br />
ride, Brambach’s “Mäuse Stadt“, Hohmann’s “Rund<br />
um den Tegernsee”, and the “Revolution” from Kinzler-Nickel.<br />
Moreover, younger visitors were able to<br />
enjoy an impressive and varied selection of attractions.<br />
A kiddie ride, kiddie track ride, compressed air<br />
ride, a Samba-Balloon, mini-dodgem track, walkingwaterballs<br />
and a bungee-trampoline captured many<br />
kiddies' hearts. In the end, the organiser looked<br />
back on a successful event, despite the initial<br />
problems with high water.<br />

Congratulations, President Albert Ritter!<br />
A reception full of atmosphere celebrated his 60 th birthday in Essen<br />
Over 500 guests from the whole of Europe<br />
celebrated with ESU President Albert Ritter<br />
his 60 th birthday on the 2 nd July in the<br />
Essen Grugahalle. The European Showman<br />
Union together with the German Showman<br />
Association, the working group of the<br />
Showman Association in NRW, the Historic<br />
German Showman Society, and the Showman<br />
Association Essen/Ruhrgebiet von<br />
1919 e.V. invited guests to a reception in<br />
Ritter's home town.<br />
As representative of 70,000 showman colleagues,<br />
Honorary President Heimo Medwed<br />
congratulated the celebrated. Medwed, who<br />
was ESU President from 2001 to 2006, thanked<br />
his successor, who not only has the ambition<br />
and abilities, but also a huge showman<br />
heart, for the "often difficult work as<br />
ESU President". Medwed contined: "However<br />
what really important is – you take the time<br />
because the concerns of your European colleagues<br />
are of prime importance. Through<br />
your engagement in France, Spain and Brussels<br />
– actually the whole of Europe – you<br />
have proved that you are a real European,<br />
without neglecting your base however."<br />
In addition to the many official speeches and<br />
greetings, this 60th birthday celebration was<br />
a great event. Guests could enjoy the evening<br />
<br />
The ESU friends congratulate their President<br />
with sociable drinks according to the showman<br />
way with music and fairground specialities.<br />

ESU sets guidelines for the cultural recognition of the<br />
European Volksfests<br />
■ International exchange of experiences in Brussels<br />
■ Implementation of the Europanorm 13814 should be reviewed in court<br />
■ A warm welcome to the new French member association<br />
President Albert Ritter (centre) with the Presidents of the French<br />
Showman Association UDAF Jean Claude Peillex (r) and UDAF<br />
Vice President Eric Ciceron.<br />
Over 30 representatives from seven member states of the<br />
European Showman Union had discussions with international<br />
experts on the 19 th June in Brussels about current<br />
themes of the European showman branch.<br />
The central point was the recognition of the European<br />
Volksfests as an immaterial cultural asset as well as the<br />
standardized implementation of the Europanorm 13814<br />
for ride constructions in the EU member countries.<br />
Jens Geier, member of the European Parliament (right with President<br />
Albert Ritter), supporting the interests of the showmen.<br />
In the beginning, Dr. Rob Belemans,<br />
Director of the Flemish<br />
Institute for Immaterial Cultural<br />
Assets and longstanding UN-<br />
ESCO-specialist, together with<br />
Marc Jacobs, spoke about the<br />
process and necessary steps to<br />
be taken for the application for<br />
the admission of the traditional<br />
European Volksfests as immaterial<br />
cultural asset into the World<br />
Heritage listing. ESU-members<br />
must initially make an application<br />
to the National Ministry<br />
of Culture in their own country.<br />
The ESU will therefore prepare<br />
an example with recommendations,<br />
which will be available to<br />
the national Associations.<br />
During the second part of the<br />
discussions held at the cultural<br />
centre FARO, detailed information<br />
was given about the implementation<br />
of the Europanorm<br />
13814 initiated already<br />
ten years ago for ride constructions<br />
in EU member countries.<br />
The ESU demands a European<br />
wide uniform implementation<br />
and criticized the mode of Germany<br />
that doesn't guarantee<br />
any special protection for owners<br />
of older attractions, who as<br />
a result would be disadvantaged.<br />
The ESU representatives agreed<br />
unanimously to take legal<br />
action against this solo effort on<br />
the part of Germany in the European<br />
court of law.<br />
Further themes discussed in<br />
Brussels were the traffic problems<br />
particularly of Irish showman<br />
colleagues, the battle to<br />
safeguard the traditional fair<br />
Sinksenfoor in Antwerp, the development<br />
of educational opportunities<br />
for showman children<br />
in Europe, as well as the current<br />
situation regarding tax<br />
rights.<br />
A hearty welcome was given to<br />
representatives of the French<br />
Showman Association UDAF as<br />
new member of the European<br />
Showman Union by President<br />
Albert Ritter. And just as hearty<br />

a welcome to the ESU circle was given to the<br />
President of the Scottish section of the British<br />
Showman Association, the British Showmen<br />
Guild, Mr Alex James Colquhoun, by Albert<br />
Ritter.<br />
Following a busy day, the participants were<br />
more than satisfied with the results of the<br />
trade discussions.<br />
President Albert Ritter: "There are still<br />
countless challenges standing before us.<br />
And so the work of a strong professional<br />
association is most important. The ESU as<br />
umbrella organisation is the only effective<br />
weapon and spearhead to fend off disasters<br />
for the European showmen." The<br />
Scottish President Alex James Colquhoun<br />
declared: "The showmen in Europe all have<br />
similar problems. If we work together,<br />
these problems will be easier to solve."<br />

The grand opening of a completely<br />
new erected theme park<br />
is still an unusual sensation<br />
within the satiated European<br />
amusement park branch. And<br />
this year, all eyes turned<br />
towards the metropole of Istanbul<br />
where the first large and<br />
modern theme park has been<br />
opened in Turkey.<br />

<strong>Vialand</strong><br />
Turkey’s Prime Minister<br />
Erdogan opened the <strong>Vialand</strong> /<br />
Operations Manager Cem Tuna<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong><br />
The fact that it’s one of the largest construction<br />
projects that the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan<br />
has been attempting to manifest during his already<br />
10 year term of office is irrelevant to mention. However,<br />
although the <strong>Vialand</strong> project was generally<br />
approved of by the population, other large and intended<br />
mega-projects of his – such as for example<br />
the intended construction of the world’s largest<br />
mosque (and with that causing the possible<br />
UNESCO World Cultural Heritage title revocation)<br />
or the development of Taksim <strong>Park</strong> (destroying one<br />
of the few green areas in the metropolis) – have<br />
caused more than discontent for the citizens of<br />
Istanbul.<br />
Nevertheless the <strong>Vialand</strong> project stands for the<br />
successful conversion of an industrial wasteland,<br />
which is located in the centre of the Istanbul city<br />
district of Eyüp, around eight kilometres from the<br />
historic district. The park came into being as a joint<br />
venture of the Via Grup (Bayrakter Insaat) and the<br />
Gürsoy Grup, the two Turkish construction and<br />
54
investment companies, which are not unknown in<br />
the domestic shopping mall and real estate<br />
sectors. The main economic ingredient of the 60<br />
hectare sized grounds is the 35 hectare shopping<br />
mall of the same name, whilst the actual net<br />
footage of the theme park is at the moment 11<br />
hectares, which in future can be extended to 20<br />
hectares.<br />
Due to the unusual property on the rise of an earlier<br />
quarry, the park has a very interesting and almost<br />
unique overal master plan, as it is accessible to<br />
visitors top-down. A grandiose view of a part of<br />
Istanbul and the imminent park area can be seen<br />
from almost every vantage point. Although the<br />
surprise effect of the yet undiscovered is<br />
reduced, the view of the park and the surrounding<br />
area and the anticipation of the<br />
attractions is great. The thematic challenge of<br />
the attractive design of all buildings and<br />
attractions being seen not only from the<br />
facades but also from above has almost been<br />
perfectly resolved. The park design and master<br />
plan was the responsibility of the ANM<br />
Group International. The complete architecture<br />
was by the Dome Partners architectural group.<br />
And parts of the park (the kiddie land and the<br />
spillwater) were themed by Spanish TAA<br />
Industries.<br />
Originally the opening up of the park was<br />
planned to be bottom-up, and the main<br />
entrance was to be between a generous area<br />
that is currently under the “<strong>Vialand</strong> Express”<br />
station and the imposing waterfall (similar to<br />
Canada’s Wonderland). The area of the current<br />
outside parking section should have been<br />
included which would have resulted in the park<br />
being twice as large as it is now, right from the<br />
beginning. However the trick of having the<br />
entrance above was genial – particularly viewing it<br />
from an economical aspect: all theme park visitors<br />
have to pass a part of the shopping mall in order<br />
to arrive at the entrance.<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong> Tema <strong>Park</strong> is not only the only theme park<br />
in Turkey, but also the only one worldwide that<br />
contains Turkish themes – a fact that is rather<br />
astonishing as due to Turkish history, there’s room<br />
for many characteristic themes (Europa-<strong>Park</strong> is the<br />
only one that has or would think about a Turkish<br />
theme).<br />

The Family Coaster could<br />
go into operation in the middle<br />
of July<br />
Diligent work continues as<br />
before at <strong>Vialand</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
Opening Without Main Attractions<br />
The start of construction of the <strong>Vialand</strong> project took<br />
place in September 2011, and the completion date<br />
was announced to be the 23 rd April 2013, but with<br />
a delay of only one month, the celebration of the<br />
opening could take place: On the 29 th of May the<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong> Tema <strong>Park</strong> was opened on the day of the<br />
conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in the<br />
year 1453, by the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan<br />
– unfortunately however without the three largest<br />
attractions. One of them is the family coaster<br />
“Maceraperest” (“The Adventurer”) from Intamin,<br />
which could go into operation on 13 th of July. The<br />
attraction has a length of 600 metres, and a height<br />
of 22 metres. The openly visible track course can<br />
only be described as extremely innovative for a<br />
family coaster, containing characteristics that are<br />
in actual fact more typical for the so-called “Mega-<br />
Lite Coaster” one of which as example is the<br />
“Goliath” at Walibi Holland: the drop converts into<br />
a curve near to the ground, and is followed by<br />
among others two intensive parallel turns. Another<br />
large attraction that will apparently be completed<br />
by August is the 4,000 square metres sized indoor<br />
water ride “Fatih’in Rüyasi” (“Fatih’s Dream”) from<br />
Intamin, which tells the story of Sultan Mehmet<br />
Fatih, the conqueror of Istanbul (1432 – 1481) with<br />
116 figures and animatronics from Heimotion,<br />
whilst the water course also contains a small drop.<br />
Sadly the main attraction of <strong>Vialand</strong>, the 660 metres<br />
long LIM-coaster “Nefeskesen” (“Breath Taker”)<br />
56
from Intamin will have to wait. In actual fact this 100<br />
kilometre per hour coaster should have gone into<br />
operation at the end of April, but since the placing<br />
of the initial order the location of the coaster was<br />
suddenly changed, which made new design drawings<br />
and calculations necessary, and there’s also<br />
the fact that the supports were definitely to be<br />
made in Turkey. The result: The tracks, despite the<br />
new location were delivered punctually by Intamin,<br />
however the supports were still not finished (after<br />
a good number of improvements had to be made<br />
and the supports were still not satisfactory, they<br />
were finally ordered from Intamin at the end of<br />
April). The current opening date has been<br />
announced as October. Definite is the fact that<br />
once the Launch Coaster has been erected, the<br />
complete picture of the park will be decisively<br />
influenced, as the 45 metres high Top Hat element<br />
will tower over the high cliff of the earlier quarry,<br />
and will present 72 metres height to the ground.<br />
Vertical <strong>Park</strong> Experience<br />
However, even without these three large attractions<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong> <strong>Park</strong> still looks complete. The exposed<br />
location high over the roofs of Istanbul is particularly<br />
unusual, and is most probably only surpassed<br />
by the Tibidabo theme park in Barcelona. The park<br />
entrance is located on the highest geographic<br />
point where the “<strong>Vialand</strong> Satosu” is situated, an<br />
architectural symbiosis of the Disneyland castles<br />
and Istanbul’s Topkapi-Palace, where the four<br />
One of the main attractions<br />
is without a doubt the “Starshape”,<br />
simply and affectionately<br />
known here as “360”<br />
Zierer’s “Jet Ski” also enjoys<br />
great popularity in Turkey<br />
57
parking levels connect up. Located here are the<br />
two storey carousel from SBF/Visa, the 160 metres<br />
long indoor water ride “Hayal Makinesi” (“Dream<br />
Machine”) from Intamin and Heimotion, a modern<br />
and extensive version of the Disneyland “It’s a<br />
Small World” with Asiatic and European countries,<br />
and the extremely generous kiddie area “Oyuh<br />
Dünyasi” (“Play World”), with a consistent soft floor<br />
– a step that could be followed by all other parks.<br />
There are nine ride constructions for children here<br />
with a minimum size of 90 centimetres, among<br />
them also the “Wacky Worm” kiddie coaster, which<br />
are however presented at all of the many small<br />
Lunaparks in Istanbul.<br />
The strongly slanting street “Bir Zamanlar Istanbul”<br />
(“Once Upon a Time Istanbul”) leads down to the<br />
second level by the name of “Efsaneler Dünyasi”<br />
(“History World”), which contains a generous area<br />
with restoration possibilities, the Wave Swinger<br />
“Saray Salincagi” (“Palace Swinger”) from Zierer,<br />
the entrance to the still not completed indoor water<br />
attraction “Fatih’in Rüyasi” behind an Ottoman<br />
fortification themed facade, and the 50 metres high<br />
Freefall Tower “Adalet Kulesi” (“Tower of Justice”)<br />
from Fabbri. The last mentioned is really something:<br />
only the tip of the tower shows out of the<br />
building, and not only reveals a surprising and<br />
breathtaking view of the park and Istanbul to passengers,<br />
but the following freefall can only be<br />
described as surprisingly intensive. The previewshow<br />
from Heimotion and the building are also<br />
decidedly successful – modelled on the Maiden’s<br />
Tower (on the Asian site of Istanbul) its firmament<br />
design is rich in traditional detail.<br />
Serpentine steps lead visitors down to the main<br />
level called “Macera Dünyasi” (“Adventure World”).<br />
Most of the attractions can be found here: the 480<br />
metre long Spillwater attraction “Viking” from<br />
Intamin with two drops of a 10 and 14 metre height<br />
respectively (the first being substantially wetter than<br />
the second), the family coaster “Maceraperest” from<br />
Intamin, the water attraction “Jet Ski” from Zierer,<br />
58
and the 60-seat 4D-cinema “Hayal Perdesi” (“The<br />
Dream Curtain”) from simworks (two separate<br />
entrances give the impression that there are really<br />
two attractions, however only two constantly changing<br />
films from nWave are shown in the show room).<br />
A large part of this level is comprised of an independent<br />
African theme land, which doesn’t quite fit<br />
into the stereotypical picture of Turkey, and unfortunately,<br />
being the only area in <strong>Vialand</strong>, has only dusty<br />
gravel paths. The attractions here on the other hand<br />
are all first class: the 13 metre high, 35-seat and<br />
beautifully theme “King Kong” from Huss Rides, the<br />
27 metre high “360” Starshape from Zierer offering<br />
wild inversions, and the 425 metre long and<br />
refreshing “Cilgin Nehir” (“Crazy River”) Rapid Ride<br />
from Intamin.<br />
A slightly sloping path to the lowest and still nameless<br />
level (on the same height level as the outside<br />
parking area), is equipped with two indoor attractions<br />
on the edge of the path: the “Safari Tüneli” is<br />
an interactive Darkride from ETF, Alterface, and<br />
P&P Projects on which riding guests are able to<br />
shoot at various targets. And the “Zindan” (“Dungeon”)<br />
is a not particularly kiddie friendly Ghost<br />
Ride from ETF and Heimotion, which contains a<br />
track course with a number of creepy stops, short<br />
reverse sections, and wet special effects. Both<br />
Darkrides are equipped with seven respectively<br />
ten trackless “Mystic Mover” cars<br />
from ETF from the Netherlands.<br />
In general the Turks are<br />
very fond of children – which is<br />
reflected in the relatively large<br />
kiddie area “Oyuh Dünyasi”<br />
59
Room for Further Attractions<br />
Somewhat disappointing is the current conclusion<br />
of the theme park, the originally planned entrance<br />
area. Around 30 metres under the not yet completed<br />
Launch Coaster there’s still enough area for<br />
future attractions and extensions, however the<br />
huge artificial waterfall that is a great eye catcher<br />
even when driving towards <strong>Vialand</strong> is a dead end.<br />
Steps lead halfway to the top of the cliff, and the<br />
path ends in a small cave at the back of the<br />
waterfall.<br />
There could have been a Darkride or a Walkthrough<br />
placed here, or even caves leading to the<br />
beginning of the park, in order for visitors to be able<br />
to make a complete circuit of the park. As it is there<br />
are only two possibilities for visitors to land at the<br />
entrance-exit again: either they make their arduous<br />
way back on foot, or they can use the “<strong>Vialand</strong><br />
Express”, a street train from Delta Trains, back to<br />
the top.<br />
A viewing ride in the form of a Ferris Wheel or an<br />
Observation tower is not needed at <strong>Vialand</strong> by the<br />
way, as the available typography almost always<br />
offers an interesting view of the park area and<br />
beyond. <strong>Vialand</strong> could however do with a large<br />
show or street entertainment.<br />
Although there are 8,000 free parking spaces and<br />
nine free bus line services that connect <strong>Vialand</strong><br />
and Istanbul up to 12 times daily, a not yet available<br />
connection with local transport services is<br />
needed urgently, as 30 million visitors are<br />
expected annually. In relation to this it’s interesting<br />
to note that the annual visitor numbers were<br />
increased during the planning time from three to<br />
five million. There are (still) not many modern<br />
shopping malls in Istanbul, and modern theme<br />
parks (still) don’t exist in the whole of Turkey – no<br />
wonder then that <strong>Vialand</strong> sees itself as a prominent<br />
tourist destination, which even promises a 15<br />
percent increase in the total tourist number of<br />
Istanbul.<br />
60
Merchandise & Islamic Influences<br />
Istanbul’s Summer Resort<br />
In addition to fast-food stands and restaurants<br />
there are also Turkish coffee houses in the park<br />
area in original ambience. And even the shops<br />
have unusually good interior design in oriental<br />
style for a theme park. Nevertheless there are<br />
hardly any <strong>Vialand</strong> memorabilia that can be purchased<br />
(and there aren’t any on-ride-photos either),<br />
but only trinkets and travel souvenirs, in particular<br />
for Istanbul tourists. This reflects against the<br />
expected visitor numbers, as in addition to the<br />
local visitors, financially strong guests are expected<br />
from the Arabian countries. As it is, Turkey is a<br />
popular holiday destination for Islamic tourists, as<br />
the burka, Carsaf and Chador wearer is more readily<br />
accepted here as in other countries of Europe.<br />
Somewhat disconcerting for non-Muslim visitors is<br />
the summons to prayer five times a day, heard from<br />
the countless minarets of the city. And even in front<br />
of <strong>Vialand</strong> the unmistakable summons continues<br />
as there are two mosques in the immediate<br />
vicinity of the park. And since the imam has<br />
set up audio equipment, music and the<br />
happy cries of visitors are drowned out at<br />
the park. In general the Turkish population<br />
is unperturbed by the call to prayer. On the<br />
one hand the religion allows two hours time<br />
after each summons in order to be able to<br />
turn towards Mecca (there are no prayer<br />
rooms in the park), and on the other hand<br />
those in liberal Istanbul are a lot less<br />
religious than those in the country – something<br />
that the current Prime Minister<br />
Erdogan is well known to want to change,<br />
forcing the adoption of the shariah and the<br />
abolishment of separation of religion and<br />
state (and with that violates not only EUrights,<br />
but also part of the constitution that<br />
the founder of modern Turkey, Mustafa<br />
Kemal Atatürk, had established in 1923).<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong> is well worth a visit alone<br />
due to its location. Visitors have a<br />
breathtaking view of parts of Istanbul the whole<br />
year through. But a visit is particularly pleasant<br />
during the summer months as the park in the<br />
heights and the shopping mall’s alleys always<br />
offer refreshing breezes.<br />
And at the very latest, after all attractions have<br />
been opened, <strong>Vialand</strong> will be up to the standard of<br />
other parks in the European branch. Further along,<br />
the 350,000 square metres outdoor shopping mall<br />
(with 150.000 net square metres) makes<br />
additional offers, and in the upcoming year will be<br />
opening a 5-Star hotel with 250 rooms, not to<br />
mention cosmopolitan Istanbul as well. This 17<br />
million resident city is a vibrating world metropolis<br />
and a melting pot of various cultures, and well<br />
worth a visit.<br />
The imposing setting puts<br />
“King Kong” right in the scene<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong> is located high<br />
over the roofs of Istanbul<br />

The Rapid Ride and the 4D<br />
cinema with two entrances<br />
The interior architecture is<br />
also convincing at <strong>Vialand</strong> <strong>Park</strong><br />
Since End of May <strong>Vialand</strong> is open daily from 10:00<br />
a.m. to 7 p.m., on the weekends until at least 9 p.m.<br />
A day ticket on the weekend costs 79 Turkish Lira<br />
(around 31 Euro), on week days 55 TL (21 Euro)<br />
from Monday to Thursday. Children between 4 and<br />
11 years of age pay 63 TL and 44 TL respectively<br />
(approx. 25 and 17 Euro). The theme park is only<br />
closed from the beginning of January to the middle<br />
of February. The shopping mall directly next door<br />
is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.<br />
Interview with Cem Tuna<br />
General Manager Mehmet Emeç, who<br />
had worked for Walt Disney World previously,<br />
was involved in <strong>Vialand</strong> right<br />
from the start. However, shortly after<br />
the opening, he left the company, and<br />
Cem Tuna, who was actually Operations<br />
Manager at <strong>Vialand</strong> <strong>Park</strong>, took<br />
over the role of <strong>Park</strong> Manager.<br />
Mr Tuna, what did you do earlier?<br />
I worked at Dreamworld and White Water<br />
World theme parks in Australia during the past 5<br />
years, last as Events and <strong>Park</strong> Operations<br />
Manager.<br />
What were the biggest challenges before<br />
the opening?<br />
The education of the 200 permanent employees<br />
took a lot of time and was important, as up until<br />
now there has been no modern operated theme<br />
park of western standards in Turkey. We are the first<br />
one, so within two months we had them up to the<br />
mark, especially as far as safety matters are concerned.<br />
Naturally my experiences at Dreamworld<br />
and White Water World played a role. As a result<br />
we are well prepared for children who have lost<br />
their parents, and the discreet surveillance of the<br />
public conveniences is also of the highest level.<br />
62
We have safety codes and the most modern<br />
communication structure.<br />
Are there however differences between<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong> and Dreamworld?<br />
The biggest difference is park experience:<br />
Dreamworld has 35 years experience in theme<br />
park operation, <strong>Vialand</strong> has just started with extra<br />
high standards in safety, and we have more<br />
personnel at rides to control guests.<br />
And what are the differences between<br />
<strong>Vialand</strong> and ORA World, the first, but also much<br />
smaller park project in Istanbul that opened in<br />
May 2012, but closed permanently only a few<br />
months later?<br />
ORA World had major management issue, and<br />
unfortuanetly didn’t have strong support in finances<br />
and from the city government. ORA was a private<br />
investor’s dream but<br />
couldn’t make the finish<br />
line. <strong>Vialand</strong> is a partnership<br />
with two major<br />
development companies<br />
with the support of the City<br />
Council. Also, one of the<br />
partners owns a large<br />
building company that built<br />
the whole <strong>Vialand</strong> project.<br />
What is the capacity<br />
of <strong>Vialand</strong> <strong>Park</strong>?<br />
When all attractions<br />
are in operation including<br />
shows and the not yet<br />
completed large constructions,<br />
then we will<br />
come to an hourly capacity<br />
of 8,000 guests.<br />
The “Old Istanbul Street” and impressive waterfall<br />
The interactive indoor construction “Safari Tüneli”<br />
and the horror attraction “Zindan”<br />
63
The Launch Coaster will<br />
open at the end of 2013<br />
Is the American concept “theme park in a<br />
shopping mall” behind the <strong>Vialand</strong> project, or<br />
can or must <strong>Vialand</strong> <strong>Park</strong> exist without a shopping<br />
mall?<br />
by the state having a more massive influence<br />
on the tourist sector and with that <strong>Vialand</strong> as<br />
expected?<br />
We are already counting up to 10,000 visitors<br />
on the weekends. Istanbul has 17 million residents,<br />
and we are of the opinion that alone in this metropolis<br />
there are six million potential visitors. Added<br />
to that, nine million tourists visit annually, many of<br />
them from the Arabian countries. For this reason we<br />
believe initially we can target four million visitors<br />
annually. Now and again we do invite schools, to<br />
fulfil our important social responsibilities.<br />
Also because the Turkish government is<br />
also involved in the <strong>Vialand</strong> project?<br />
The face of the park: not<br />
all employees speak <strong>English</strong><br />
but nevertheless are friendly<br />
and extremely helpful<br />
The indoor water ride from<br />
Intamin/Heimotion is planned to<br />
open in August<br />
In North America there are only indoor parks.<br />
We are however the world’s first outdoor-theme<br />
park with a shopping mall. And we have attractions<br />
and a theming design that can match larger parks.<br />
For this reason the park can naturally do without as<br />
well.<br />
Up until now, very often whole schools are<br />
invited in the first week of operation to simulate<br />
a full park. Are the government-critical<br />
demonstrations which have been advanced on<br />
The complete project is privately financed –<br />
an investment amount by the way of 1.15 million<br />
Turkish Lire (approximate conversion 460 million<br />
Euro). It is the largest private construction project<br />
since the coming into being of the Turkish states,<br />
in other words since 1923! Nevertheless the<br />
grounds are still owned by the city of Istanbul, as<br />
due to the horrendous real estate prices, there’s no<br />
way a project of this size could be realized. The<br />
deal: after 30 years, <strong>Vialand</strong>, including properties<br />
and holdings will be handed over to the state.<br />
Mr Tuna, thank you for the interview, and we<br />
wish you a lot of success.<br />

COASTER<br />
The 8-seat cars have<br />
been noticeably designed<br />
rich in detail<br />
Everything that Erlebnispark<br />
Tripsdrill tackles is “... done<br />
with love.” This nice advertising<br />
slogan of the park is known by<br />
almost everybody in the branch<br />
in the meantime. But it really is<br />
so, or is quite similar at the<br />
Swabian theme park, with a proper<br />
portion of local atmosphere.<br />
There has never been just<br />
any sort of attraction “off the<br />
rack” installed at the park, but<br />
completely individual designs<br />
have been realized, which make<br />
the attractions, and with that the<br />
park into something really<br />
special. So it is not by chance<br />
that the very new roller coaster<br />
“Karacho” has turned out to be<br />
something really unusual.<br />

Gerstlauer Amusement<br />

50 coasters in only 15<br />
years, and “Karacho” is the<br />
anniversary edition of the<br />
Swabian manufacturer! Our<br />
heartfelt congratulations!<br />
Karacho<br />
Already shortly after the installation of the last<br />
large coaster five years ago – the wooden<br />
coaster “Mammut” from Cordes Coaster – a survey<br />
showed that visitors wanted a fast looping<br />
coaster. “We were happy to comply” said 27 year<br />
old Benjamin Fischer, who has become a member<br />
of management since the beginning of 2013, and<br />
travels all over the world<br />
together with his father<br />
Ronald and uncle Helmut<br />
to compile ideas for their<br />
own coaster. It was to be a<br />
Launch Coaster, determined<br />
right from start. “And<br />
we wanted something<br />
similar to ‘Oblivion’ at<br />
Alton Towers, where the<br />
train drops into a tunnel.<br />
We’ve got that now, but<br />
much smaller”, smiled<br />
General Manager Helmut<br />
Fischer. And at our park<br />
we drop into the tunnel<br />
with a dive loop; that’s<br />
unique worldwide”,<br />
added nephew Benjamin proudly. “A Heartline-<br />
Roll directly at the start as at Thorpe <strong>Park</strong> and<br />
Hansa-<strong>Park</strong> appeared interesting for us during internal<br />
family brainstorming”, explained Helmut<br />
Fischer, “but we didn’t want a vertical lift in the<br />
middle of the track, as in our opinion it would have<br />
hampered the smooth ride sequence”. As a result<br />
the elements of the coaster were decided on step<br />
by step, and the feasibility checked together with<br />
manufacturer Gerstlauer and the Stengel offices.<br />
The end result is called “Karacho”, a coaster with<br />
an incredible layout!<br />
66
However, how do the world’s most popular ride<br />
figures combined into one construction really ride?<br />
Remarkably well, as despite the variation of the<br />
most different elements on the relatively short 700<br />
metre track course, the interaction can only be<br />
described as perfect. And because the eight-seat<br />
cars have no shoulder restrains but laudably only<br />
lap bars, the ride fun will not produce any unpleasant<br />
surprises even after quite a number of years<br />
of operation. Additionally, the cars are equipped<br />
with a completely spring mounted chassis, which<br />
also has a positive effect on ride comfort.<br />
We take our places in one of the eight slightly<br />
heightened seats, put on the comfortable lap bars,<br />
and we’re ready to roll. In a leisurely 180° curve<br />
we say goodbye to all those waiting and roll into<br />
darkness. But here there’s no comfortable Darkride<br />
sequence waiting for us, but without any<br />
warning we shoot six metres upwards into a Heartline-Roll,<br />
which is followed by an also unexpected<br />
short but intense drop that lands us on the straight<br />
acceleration section. At a flying start we catapult<br />
at 2,000 horse power in only 1.6 seconds to 100<br />
kilometres per hour. We race in the open where a<br />

any price, but integration into<br />
the landscape! In the background<br />

“Karacho” leaves the dark<br />
“garage” onto the track rich in<br />
experiences / if it’s too much of<br />
a good thing then the “Kotz-<br />
Tonne” in the station can be<br />
used (Hofmann Figuren)<br />
“Top Hat” rams us into the skies 30 metres<br />
vertically. Wow what a brilliant overture! In the<br />
lofty heights there’s hardly any time to take a<br />
breath, as we race almost immediately with abundant<br />
airtime vertically towards the ground...only<br />
to win height subsequently once again – this time<br />
in the form of a vertical loop, that is run into and<br />
then exited from at the side. A straight stretch<br />
leads us into an overbanked steep curve leading<br />
again down towards ground level. Following a parallel<br />
turn we travel into the trim brakes. A short<br />
breather and the conclusion begins. Whilst most<br />
looping coasters only offer a helix or at the most a<br />
last simple twist, “Karacho” offers a sheer breathtaking<br />
finale: after a 360° curve we twist through<br />
an Immelmann that begins the wrong way around,<br />
and drop headlong into the misty tunnel, only to<br />
reach the open a split second later with a simple<br />
corkscrew. It’s only then – after these thrilling<br />
moments – that the magnet brakes take a grip and<br />
we roll into the station. Phew, made it...but what an<br />
experience!<br />

Once again operator family Fischer has done<br />
everything right, as with the medium sized roller<br />
coaster, the Gerstlauer team has delivered a<br />
masterpiece, and a layout that can’t be found<br />
anywhere else in the world. And when by spring<br />
2014 the sophisticated outside design and the<br />
theming of the station area are completed, Tripsdrill<br />
has another non-typical attraction that<br />
radiates Swabian humour, and is up to the<br />
standard of the big ones in the branch. ■<br />
It’s still only a building site<br />
but the model already shows a<br />
sophisticated design<br />

Fårup Sommerland has an exceptional<br />
position in Denmark:<br />
the park is situated in a well<br />
frequented holiday region, and<br />
is located not far from the large<br />
cities of Aalborg and Arhus.<br />
However it is in a permanent<br />
competitive situation with a park<br />
that although situated 150 kilometres<br />
away, serves almost an<br />
identical target group: Djurs<br />
Sommerland. And so in Jutland<br />
there’s a curious race taking<br />
place with only one sure winner:<br />
the visitor.<br />
Text & Photos: Tim Herre<br />
Managing Director Per<br />

Orkanen<br />
And as friendly as the relationship between<br />
Fårup-Chief Sören Kragelund and Djurs-Boss<br />
Henrik B. Nielsen may be, when it’s about plans<br />
for the future, there’s naturally absolute silence<br />
and poker faces between the two companies. And<br />
it can happen that one park is in front of the other<br />
as far as ideas are concerned.<br />
And that’s how it happened in the area of water<br />
attractions: in 2011 Djurs presented the Mack<br />
water coaster “Skatteoen” – and according to<br />
rumours, Fårup was also interested in a Spillwater<br />
type of attraction. But one has to get the edge over<br />
its competitor. What’s the solution? Build a water<br />
attraction when the competitor has just built one?<br />
Not Fårup. Denmark’s first Family Suspended<br />
Coaster from Vekoma came into being in Saltum,<br />
which, following Gröna Lund’s “Kvasten”, is only<br />
the second construction of this type in Scandinavia,<br />
and the third in Europe.<br />
“Orkanen” is the name of the new attraction that is<br />
erected on the lake and the bordering grounds,<br />
which in this area of the park, results in a real<br />
family-thrill-concentration with two main attractions.<br />
“Orkanen” and “Falken” share a common<br />
souvenir shop, which, due to necessity, has to be<br />
driven through, however their entrances are far<br />
apart from each other so that on peak days no<br />
70
unwanted congestion situations occur.<br />
Responsibility for the design of “Orkanen” was in<br />
the personal hands of designer Rasmus Altenborg<br />
and park chief Sören Kragelund. The outside of<br />
the construction was fitted to the theme: debris lies<br />
around everywhere; the hurricane apparently has<br />
caused a lot of damage. Even in the station there<br />
is not one stone left upon the other. Here in particular<br />
the terrific design must be mentioned due to<br />
Sören Kragelund. Authentic tools and workshop<br />
cupboards, which function very practically as<br />
storage space for the bags and backpacks of the<br />
riding guests, were searched for all over Denmark.<br />
And the Würth-calendar with bikini girls can’t be<br />
missing either – after all fishing and boat building<br />
is a male domain.<br />
In the station things really take off as the processing<br />
can’t be any quicker. In parts, the train has a<br />
standing time of only 50 seconds. This is due to<br />
the fact that those at Fårup have waived additional<br />
belts on the from overhead lap bars. The<br />
resulting theoretic capacity of 670 persons per<br />
hour is reached in practice, and is for a park like<br />
Fårup Sommerland adequate. “When the day is<br />
slow we send the train on for a second round”<br />
explained Manager Per Dam Jensen.<br />
Whereas two rounds one after the other on “Orkanen”<br />
could be a little too much for a part of the<br />
family public, as the attraction is a little too intense<br />
for a family Inverter, and can hardly be compared<br />
to both constructions of the same type – Gröna<br />
Lund’s more or less tranquil rounds on “Kvasten”<br />
Almost all of the track<br />
course runs over a water<br />
surface area<br />

<strong>Park</strong> Germany. The first drop offers lots of airtime<br />
in the back seats, and the rest of the course is<br />
travelled through at a crisp and permanently high<br />
tempo, which is due in particular to the fact that<br />
the ride actually doesn’t win on height again.<br />
Additionally, the course travels near to natural<br />
surroundings and past the theming elements<br />
consistently. “This contributes enormously to the<br />
feeling of freedom that the passengers experience<br />
during the ride” said Per Dam Jensen, showing his<br />
satisfaction of the ride. “One has the feeling of<br />
almost being able to touch the surroundings whilst<br />
flying past.”<br />
Ride on a Watersurface<br />
And the park did a lot to achieve this. The highlight<br />
here is the first drop that leads through a foggy<br />
tunnel under the water surface of the lake. And the<br />
fog effect functions perfectly. The walls of the<br />
tunnel have been painted a matt black so that passengers<br />
really can’t see anything – a great effect that<br />
maybe colleagues from Alton Towers should take a<br />
look at in order to upgrade “Oblivion”. Following the<br />
tunnel, the 10-car train travels into a Horseshoe element,<br />
a curve with heavy overbanking. The g-forces<br />
here shouldn’t be disregarded, but at no time<br />
does one feel unsafe in the strongly angled seats<br />
to the back. The train is then led near to and over<br />
the water surface and absolves a right curve in the<br />
direction of the station, whilst the course elevates<br />
slightly. The next highlight is a helix that clings to the<br />
station building and reaches the maximum acceleration<br />
of 3.8 g here. Passengers are pressed strongly<br />
into their seats, and this is the exact spot where<br />
one must pose the question as to whether the ride<br />
befits a family coaster. Doesn’t matter – the passengers<br />
seem to like it, which results in a high number<br />
of repeat rides.<br />
72
Following the killer-helix, an ascent follows over<br />
and away from the station – some passengers pull<br />
their legs back fearfully, although there is naturally<br />
enough space. Positive to note is that the element<br />
over the station is not just absolved straight ahead<br />
but that there’s been a little swerve added. The next<br />
helix is already waiting on the other side of the<br />
station building, left and upwards once again – and<br />
this also leads so near to the ground that a small<br />
trench had to be dug under the course. The speed<br />
here is phenomenal. The attraction appears a lot<br />
faster than it actually is. And that’s the way it should<br />
be – not vice versa. The helix is followed by a turn<br />
and a right curve before it travels once again<br />
under the water surface, and then through a destroyed<br />
boat house and over a small dip. Work has<br />
been done here also with fog and the effect functions<br />
similarly as well as in the tunnel after the first<br />
drop. A powerful curve and the train narrowly<br />
misses a stranded fishing boat before it’s back into<br />
the station, where due to the last curve the train<br />
comes to a standstill at an ample tilt.<br />
A Family Coaster Not Only for Families<br />
Summary: Is this still a Family Suspended Coaster<br />
in the classical sense? Actually it’s not. Is “Orkanen”<br />
a powerful coaster on which the whole family<br />
can have a lot of fun? Absolutely! “Orkanen” is<br />
without a doubt the most mature FSC from<br />
Vekoma. The ride characteristics are excellent;<br />
there are no bangs, but lots of speed and diversity<br />
instead. With “Orkanen” both Vekoma and Fårup<br />
Sommerland have proved once again that an FSC<br />
is not obliged to belong in a kiddie area, but can<br />
be staged as a main attraction!<br />

WATERPARK<br />
Eleven new water<br />
slides from Polin enrich<br />
the Avonturenpark Hellendoorn<br />
in the Netherlands<br />
If there was something of plenty<br />
during the past months, then it<br />
was one thing: water. A whole lot<br />
of water, but unfortunately in a<br />
form that was very unpleasant<br />
for operators of amusement<br />
facilities – snow, heavy rains,<br />
right up to massive flooding. The<br />
new slide park Aquaventura<br />
however will cause a lot more joy<br />
for both the operators and the<br />
visitors about water – at least if<br />
the weather is on their side!<br />
Text & Photos: Marc Spies<br />
Aquaventura<br />
Due to the competence in operation<br />
of water parks, it is no wonder then<br />
that this year’s novelty at Hellendoorn<br />
is a slide park. Its name is<br />
Aquaventura, and all water slides<br />
Since 2011, the Avonturenpark Hellendoorn stem from the Polin Waterpark & Poolsystems firm.<br />
belongs to Looping, a subsidiary of H.I.G. The total number of eleven slides and the small<br />
Capital Europe. The company under director kiddie area are located among other areas on the<br />
Laurent Bruloy and a 30 percent minority holding earlier section of the “Exclaibur Stunt Show”. The<br />
of the earlier owner Compagnie des Alpes, also 2012 erected Huss Enterprise “Tarantula Magica”<br />
operates Parc Bagatelle and the Cobac <strong>Park</strong> (both also had to make way and is now situated in the<br />
in France), Pleasurewood Hills (in Great Britain), direct vicinity of the Top Spin “Montezuma’s<br />
Isla Magica (in Spain) and a number of water Revenge”, so that enough space could be created<br />
for a water park parks throughout Europe.<br />
area.<br />
74
Four Tower Constructions on Strip of Land<br />
As the grounds are elongated, four slide towers<br />
had to be erected. Unusual also is that there is no<br />
common pool where the slides end, but each slide<br />
has its own run-off area. This is an advantage of<br />
course in the minor area available, and is also<br />
cheaper with a smaller sized filtration plant.<br />
Unfortunately the water park does not have a<br />
larger pool where visitors can swim or splash<br />
around. On the other hand there are relaxing<br />
zones available with a sandy beach atmosphere,<br />
palms, and deck chairs. Entrance to Aquaventura<br />
only costs an extra six Euro in addition to the<br />
normal theme park ticket.<br />
Children in particular can experience<br />
their first slide platform<br />
at a height of three metres. The<br />
slides between a 17 to 31<br />
metres length from the Polin series<br />
“Pirates Splash” (Compact<br />
Slide), “Funtasy” (Wide Slide)<br />
and “Purple Torpedo” (Freefall)<br />
offer varied slide experiences.<br />
For more adult Aquaventura<br />
visitors there are other start<br />
towers available. The 67 metres<br />
long compact slide “Tornado<br />
Twist” starts from a 7.5 metre<br />
slide tower, and the “Double<br />
Trouble” from one level lower at<br />
five metres.<br />
When all this is not enough then<br />
there’s the next slide tower<br />
supported by five slides. All of<br />
them start at a height of ten<br />
metres, but are of varied construction:<br />
“Twist & Twirl” offers a<br />
curvy 88 metre layout going downhill, the “Dark<br />
Devil” tube slide requires on the other hand a tube<br />
for one or two persons for the one and half time<br />
helix and daylight effects. A completely different<br />
slide experience is offered by the “Green Fall”<br />
freefall slide, which is even a challenge for thrill<br />
seekers: a 36 metre length and a maximum speed<br />
of 41 km/h all speak for themselves. The U-shaped<br />
Boomerang Slide “Wacky Wave” brings passengers<br />
to a speed of 46 km/h travelling downhill<br />
steeply initially before stabilising like a Halfpipe.<br />
At the same time, up to four passengers can have<br />
a race on the 65 metre long “Rainbow Racer”<br />
simultaneously.<br />

WATERPARK<br />
Illustrative overall view<br />
of the new slide area at<br />
Hellendoorn<br />
The slide park was opened<br />
by the Hellendoorn Lord Mayor<br />
Anneke Raven and Willian<br />
Kleinjan fromAvonurenpark<br />
Hellendoorn<br />
The longest slide makes its start from a 14 metre<br />
high slide tower, where its name is also its programme:”Xtreme”<br />
initially offers open slide fun on<br />
a total length of 140 metres before mutating into a<br />
pipe slide together with daylight effects: Polin<br />
places semitransparent rings in the pipes, so that<br />
the lighting effects are not supplied by the usual<br />
electronics .<br />
Unfortunately not all slides were completed by the<br />
official opening at the end of June, however all<br />
attractions are now in operation. Distinctly obvious<br />
was the not completely finished grouting on<br />
individual slide elements that cut down on slide<br />
comfort considerably. This type of work was<br />
scheduled for the fine-tuning phase – the complete<br />
water park area was closed again after the<br />
official opening – temporarily.<br />
Résumé: The idea of combining water and theme<br />
park is not new, and in actual fact always promises<br />
success. However whilst it’s in the Scandinavian<br />
parks of all places that the combination of outdoor<br />
water park and theme park exists more frequently,<br />
it is not widespread in Central Europe – actually<br />
a shame as this practice has advantages for both<br />
the operator and the visitor: more attractions, a<br />
larger visitor capacity in accordance to size, operation<br />
costs can be well planned, and there’s fun<br />
for the whole family simultaneously.<br />
The Hellendoorn slide portfolio also offers a fitting<br />
slide for every visitor, from the small child right up<br />
to the thrill seeker. It remains to be seen however<br />
whether the visitor wants to visit a pure slide park<br />
where there is no normal pool or even a smaller<br />
one for little children, especially having to pay<br />
extra in addition to the regular park entrance price<br />
– there is no separate entrance from outside and<br />
is not one in planning. As the Netherlander are not<br />
known to be water shy, Aquaventura should be a<br />
complete success – so long as the weather plays<br />
along!<br />

erected a Darkride without interactive<br />

being used”, he continued.<br />
And when looking at the big<br />
players in the Darkride area,<br />
one has to agree: in the cases<br />
of “The Amazing Adventures of<br />
We definitely didn’t want an interactive ride, Spider-Man”, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden<br />
and have been asked often why. It’s quite Journey” or Disney’s Indiana-Jones-rides there’s<br />
simple: because the impression of the ride is no banging away either. Naturally “Thors Hammer”<br />
has only been blessed with a fraction of the<br />
basically changed. People only pay attention to<br />
shooting and not on the story that is told”, explained<br />
Tusenfryd’s General Manager Bj¢rn Hårvard erence is only on the monetary level as “Thors<br />

parts of the ride are those where there’s no shooting<br />
going on and only the simulation platform is licants. “Most of the stories were too<br />

sional for us” related Bj¢rn Hårvard Solli. “But P&P<br />
had something that one could build on, and we’re<br />
very happy with the result.”<br />
Interesting Story<br />
The story is also really original: the Nordic gods<br />
return to the armoury of Walhalla for the great<br />
battle of Ragnarök. Heimdall takes his horn, Odin<br />
his spear, Sutr fetches his flaming sword, and<br />
finally Thor takes his trusty Mj¢lnir, his hammer. But<br />
was that really Thor? No it is the evil Loki who had<br />
disguised himself as Thor!<br />
The task of the ride guests therefore is to bring<br />
back Thor’s hammer, right in the middle of Nordic<br />
unpredictability.<br />
“Thors Hammer” uses the gigantic spaciousness<br />
of an artificial cave here, which had previously<br />
been occupied by the simulation show “Viking<br />
Toktet”. This curious show had its fans by all<br />
means, but “it’s time had come” said Björn Harvard<br />
Soli. Actually a pity as the show in which visitors<br />
took their place on an enormous Viking ship<br />
had a somewhat “special” charm; however the<br />
placid multimedia swing was no longer modern.<br />
The new ride in comparison is all the more current:<br />
one travels past through 10 screens which present<br />
high resolution 3D pictures. The six-seat chaises<br />
from ETF move as fully functional simulation platforms<br />
that turn completely on their own axis and<br />
can also lean in all directions. Due to this freedom<br />
of movement and the resulting forces, a classic<br />

rocky cave<br />
Tusenfryd’s General<br />
Manager Bj¢rn Hårvard Solli<br />
ride system with central tracks was chosen, instead<br />
of the popular trackless system from the<br />
same manufacturer. The richly curved ride<br />
travels through creepy forests, over huge<br />
rivers and into icy caves. It becomes warm,<br />
cold, windy and wet. And countless rough journeymen<br />
obviously have something against<br />
Thor getting his hammer back – among them<br />
prominent representatives such as the Midgard<br />
Serpent. And so this is the way the 6-<br />
member crew fights its way through. They experience<br />
a number of unsightly encounters<br />
with Loki and his frightening offspring, until in<br />
an impressive showdown when the chaises remain<br />
standing in front of a 180° screen for about<br />
15 seconds and ride guests experience a<br />
flight sequence, Thor’s hammer is saved, and<br />
the god personally thanks the successful assistants<br />
for a short while.<br />
“Thor’s Hammer” is not a Ghost Ride, but is<br />
creepy and exciting. And it’s certainly nothing for<br />
really small children, so that’s the reason that the<br />
minimum size (tentatively) has been set at 1.2<br />
metres. Additionally the chaises go through really<br />
fast movements now and again during which time<br />
passengers have to hold on. Just how thrilling<br />
“Thors Hammer” really is, could be experienced<br />
one day before opening by Norway’s Minister of<br />
Labour, Anniken Huitfeldt, who was filmed during<br />
the experience and appeared relatively disorientated<br />
to readers of the online edition of a large daily<br />
newspaper. Apparently this type of ride was a new<br />
experience for the 43 year old.<br />
Résumé: “Thors Hammer” presents a new generation<br />
of Darkride. It’s technically challenging<br />
and offers an impressive ride experience despite<br />
a narrow budget frame, which most financial controllers<br />
would cry down as “not possible”. Certainly<br />
5.7 million Euro is no steal, but for many companies<br />
has to be financed. The story is lively and<br />
easy to understand, and makes ride guests accomplices<br />
of the most popular of all gods in Nordic<br />
mythology. Congratulations to Tusenfryd and<br />
Parques Reunidos for deciding on a ride that won’t<br />
break any records, or must appear in the newspapers<br />
particularly. And above all things, for a ride<br />
where the ride experience is paramount – and not<br />
a number on a LED display.<br />

EVENT<br />
Even an imaginatively<br />
illuminated theme park can<br />
be an unusual party<br />
location with atmosphere<br />
The Spanish theme park resort<br />
calls itself the “European Destination<br />
Resort”, and as such<br />
wishes to offer its visitors very<br />
special highlights with the best<br />

White Nights<br />
And all this is not enough: With the<br />
“White Nights” event, which takes<br />
place five times a year, Port-<br />
Aventura Resort offers the longest<br />
opening times in the European<br />
It is an undisputed fact that PortAventura has theme park scene.<br />
much on offer that is unique, and which is not Whilst at central European parks it’s the absolute<br />
available anywhere else in Europe. For example exception to the rule to remain open until 8 p.m.<br />
the world’s first Wing Coaster (Intamin, built in now and again, the Spanish park remains open<br />
2007). Europe’s only kiddie coaster of wood is also until 4 a.m. on these days! Worldwide, it’s only the<br />
in the park portfolio (from 100 cm height, CCI, built North American Disney parks that have a longer<br />

the park has one of the roller coasters hour-action. Naturally it must be mentioned that<br />
opening time with their annual once a year 24-<br />

“White Nights” is a complete success and is<br />
strongly frequented with 35,000 visitors – 10,000<br />
more than on normal operating days. And it’s no<br />
wonder, as almost all attractions remain open,<br />
among them not only all coasters but also most of<br />
the kiddie attractions! Added to that, there are also<br />
lighting concepts, special shows, and a number<br />
of party locations such as foam parties and openair<br />
discos. This special atmosphere not only<br />
entices the young, but also quite noticeably, many<br />
families.<br />
The “White Nights” was first presented in 2012.<br />
This year all park night owls attended, or alternatively<br />
can get their fill on the following dates: 18 th<br />
May, 29 th June, 27 th July,, 17 th of August, and 7 th of<br />

SEA WORLD ORLANDO<br />
SeaWorld-<strong>Park</strong> located in the<br />
amusement capital Orlando,<br />
opened a new attraction at the<br />
end of May together with a new<br />
theme area: “Antarctica: Emipre<br />
of the Penguin”<br />
Text:<br />

The merger of ride constructions with animals<br />
was until recently one of the most prominent features<br />
of the northern American SeaWorld- and<br />
Busch-Gardens-<strong>Park</strong>s. Recently the European<br />
Merlin Entertainments Group also found favour with<br />
the idea of bringing this unusual relationship profitably<br />
into its portfolio. Officially the fact that from<br />
both park groups Steve Schwarzman and his<br />
Private Equity Blackstone is one of the larger investors<br />
is irrelevant. The fact is that they are apparently<br />
inspired by the North American park highlights<br />
of this type: for example “Zufari” at Chessington<br />
World of Adventures (KPR 6/2013), “Polar<br />
Xplorer” at Legoland Billund (KPR 7/2012) or also<br />
“Achtung: Pinguine” at the new Ocean Abenteuer<br />
<strong>Park</strong> (KPR 6/2013).<br />
At the moment the combination of ride attraction<br />
and penguins appears to be highly popular, especially<br />
as SeaWorld Orlando has also opened its<br />
new attraction “Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin”.<br />
At the same time it’s the largest extension in the<br />
park’s history, as it not only contains ride<br />
84
MAGAZINE<br />
constructions but also a completely new theme<br />
land together with a huge animal habitat. And it’s<br />
there that the visitors dive into the Antarctic with<br />
temperatures at almost under 0° Celsius, icy winds<br />
and snow covered mountains. In the process, Puck<br />
the little gentoo penguin takes them into his world<br />
and his colony of over 250 species. The participants<br />
conquer the way there in quite large cars from<br />
Oceaneering accommodating up to 8 persons.<br />
Visitors may choose from two different intensity<br />
levels. Both routes are quite similar, the impressions<br />
vary however due to the vehicle movements – when<br />
compared to “Wild Expedition”, visitors observe the<br />
surroundings better when choosing “Mild Expedition”.<br />
In both cases the ride itself is relatively short,<br />
however caters to all the senses – the temperatures<br />
become colder from room to room, the vehicle<br />
moves around freely in the room ( so perceived),<br />
and multimedia scenes provide for much variety.<br />
The coldest attraction in the theme park metropolis<br />
Orlando is the family friendly adventure ride, which<br />
is also an educational expedition tour.<br />

EURASIA RESORT LAS VEGAS<br />
This is a project – in the event<br />
that it happens – that could only<br />
be built in Las Vegas. In that city<br />
there are already replicas of<br />
Venice, Paris, Rome, and New<br />
York.<br />

Now however a Russian<br />
conglomerate from<br />
Novosibirsk plans to reproduce<br />
it all again – a<br />
copy of a copy so to speak<br />
– on a huge abandoned<br />
airport area, only a few kilometres<br />
away from the city<br />
borders. Whether or not it’s<br />
a great business idea has<br />
to be decided by those<br />
concerned. Those who are<br />
convinced of the idea can<br />
become a partner: all investors are heartily welcome<br />
with an investment amount beginning at 10,000 US<br />
Dollars. According to unconfirmed rumours, the<br />
Canadian shopping mall operator Triple Five is one<br />
of the first large investors, as the world’s largest<br />
shopping mall is also being planned on the 485 hectare<br />
grounds. Further along there is also an indoor<br />
and outdoor theme park in the planning with a 243<br />
m sized Ferris Wheel. The official head office of the<br />
Eurasia Resorts International Ltd., is Nassau. ■<br />
AMERICAN DREAM<br />
The title, the largest shopping<br />
mall in the world, appears to be<br />
very lucrative. The world’s<br />
largest in China stands shortly<br />
before completion, and another<br />
two further projects have already<br />
been announced: the first – once<br />
again, and for that reason maybe<br />
a question mark should be<br />
placed here – a location in Dubai,<br />
and the other in Las Vegas.<br />
Text:<br />
Frank Lanfer<br />
And in the process the Triple Five Group from the<br />
Canadian-Iranian family Ghermezian is merging<br />
in with the market very strongly.<br />
Already the group’s eye has been cast towards a<br />
very lucrative location in the immediate vicinity of<br />
New York City, taking over the earlier project called<br />
Xanadu, a shopping and entertainment centre in<br />
New Jersey, which in actual fact should have already<br />
opened in 2006 with a Ferris Wheel and<br />
coaster.<br />
In the meantime the project called American<br />
Dream Meadowlands is striving towards an opening<br />
in 2014. The huge building including an indoor<br />
ski run has been completed for years; however<br />
Triple Five wants to build the shopping mall, a water<br />
park, and an indoor theme park before the<br />
opening.<br />
Currently the football club New York Giants is<br />
suing against the scheme as the football<br />
association fears that the predicted 40,000 daily<br />
visitors to the mall will create a traffic chaos that<br />
cannot be coped with on match days, not to<br />
mention the filled to capacity suburban trains of<br />
New York.<br />
The newly erected Metlife Stadium is also located<br />
in East Rutherford on the opposite side of the very<br />
long street, around 10 kilometres away from<br />
Manhattan.<br />

In the theme park OCT East Resort, Shenzhen, the<br />
erection of a new “Shoot-the-Chutes” is well<br />
underway.<br />
A construction team has rebuilt and extended an<br />
existing lake at the mountain park, to make enough<br />
room for the ride attraction. In the meantime the<br />
landmark of the park, the White Water attraction is<br />
undergoing intensive repair work, following a fire in<br />
the artificial rock facade.<br />
■<br />
Large extensions are currently being undertaken<br />
at the impressive Changzhou theme park China<br />
Dinosaur <strong>Park</strong>. At the present time a new family area<br />
is being erected in the front area. “Dinotoon” will<br />
offer a choice of urgently needed attractions for the<br />
younger visitors, who have been more or less forgotten<br />
until now.<br />
At the back end of the park that may well become<br />
the front section, another large project is being<br />
realized – “Adventure<br />
Port”. Similar to the Universal<br />
City Walk, there<br />
will be a mixture of<br />
restaurants and rides<br />
here, however there will<br />
also be indoor rides<br />
installed: Italian manufacturer<br />
Zamperla is delivering<br />
a “Mini Jet 6”, a<br />
small Ferris Wheel, a<br />
dodgem ride, a “Demolition<br />

“Aero Top Jet”. ■
