HOLLYWOOD STAR
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
Holger Kramer
The Klinkerfuß firm has recently parted with its
Fähtz ride “Hollywood Star”, which it had
successfully toured for more than 20 years.
The major ride, perfectly preserved to this day, was
built for the Regensburg showman Horn 33 years
ago, before moving into the hands of the Becker
family from Kaiserslautern. It has now been taken
over by the young showman Holger Kramer from
Mainz-Kastel, who had previously parted with his
“Twister”, which he sold to the Wiesbaden showman
Horst Bockermann. With his newly purchased
ride, Holger Kramer opened the new season at the
fair in Idstein, followed by the Frühlingsfest in Wiesbaden.
The classic ride is particularly well received
by the family public. Currently, the backflash
wagon, which also holds the paybox and most of
the ride’s sections, is being newly designed. The
attraction requires two transport vehicles for relocation.
This year, the well-looked after veteran
ride will be presented at, among other venues,
Rheinböllen, Wiesbaden-Schierstein and at the
Spießbratenfest in Idar-Oberstein. The “Hollywood
Star” has ground measurements of 20 x 24 metres,
a maximum height of 14 metres, and electrical
requirements of 60 kW.

OUTBREAK
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
Already in November last year, French showman
Alexander Kiener from Saargemünd took over
the “Outbreak” from Austrian showman Josef Stessl
from Graz, who had successfully operated and presented
the "Super Star” at many events in Austria for
years.
For France, the “Outbreak”, built by Northern
Amusement Rides in England and introduced to the
tour circuit in 2000, is the first over-the-top ride of this
type. In Austria it was, and remains, the only travelling
ride of its kind. After its appearances in Le Mans
and Saint-Dizier, the ride is to also be tried out in
Evreux, Dourdan and, later in the summer, at the
Lunapark in Barcarés. Further events are currently
still being planned. Moreover, a number of changes
have been made, and more are still to be carried out
to the ride. A laser for example, one of the new features,
provides an additional eye catcher after sundown.

CANCELLATION: GERMAN-AMERICAN VOLKSFEST EVENTS
DÜREN
In Düren, the 375 th anniversary
of the Annakirmes will be celebrated
from 27 th July to 4 th
August. To mark this occasion,
an interesting festival programme
will be offered beginning
already on 24 th May.
From the start of the event until
26 th May, an organ weekend
will be held in the Düren town
centre, with large and small
fairground organs being played
at various locations, getting
locals and guests into the
spirit of the anniversary fair.
From 9 th June to 18 th August,
many photos and exhibits related
to the history of the Annakirmes
will be presented in an
exhibition. A special highlight
of the anniversary will be the
nostalgic fair, held in the Düren
town centre from 28 th June to 7 th
July. The historic festival procession
on 28 th July may well
be another highlight of the programme.
A detailed preview of
the Düren anniversary fair
event will follow in the Kirmes
& Park Revue July issue. ■

No German-American Volksfest events in Grafenwöhr,
in Hohenfels or in Ansbach/Katterbach!
The event in Vilseck, which has not taken
place for two years, is not to be revived again.
No cancellatio, howeverin Berlin – where the
German-American Volksfest will be held as
planned.
With deep regret, the Commander of the US Army
Garrison Grafenwöhr announced in late April that
the 56 th German-American Volksfest event in the
military training area, is not to take place. This difficult
decision was due to the tense fiscal situation
in the USA. The entire US Department of Defence
has cut expenses mercilessly. Cost-cutting measures
include the cancellation of all entertainment
events in Europe, the Pacific Rim and the USA this
fiscal year. The Commander of the US Army
Garrison Grafenwöhr, Colonel James E. Saenz,
assured that “we will continue to honour our
obligations toward our German partners, and will
work hard to find a new date in the near future for
this traditional event of more than half a century
standing.”
No Festival Grounds, No Money
This was a heavy blow for participating operations,
as there will not be any compensation for
losses in turnover. Organiser Peter Renner has put
all his energy into the continuation of the tradition,
and wants to once again approve all showmen
considered for this year, to next year’s event. “This
is a serious blow,” he noted, summarizing the disappointment
regarding the unexpected decision.
Last year, the three-day event had enticed more
than 100,000 visitors not only from all over the
Upper Palatinate but also from the Nürnberg,
Fürth and Erlangen region. The German-American
Volksfest in Hohenfels in late April and early May
was cancelled as well, leaving the Hohenfels
Mayor, Bernhard Graf, completely flabbergasted
when he heard about the decision. “I am shocked!
For us, it is a catastrophe,” he said, and continued
“It was a unique chance for the ordinary
citizens to strike up and deepen friendships, and
get an insight into the world of the Americans”.
According to Graf one can even link clothing to
just how much the Americans identify with the
Germans and vice versa. “While the GIs were clad
in dirndls and lederhosen, we wore their new cowboy
boots”. Now the organising showman Karl
Übel is fighting for the Hohenfels Volksfest to be
held in 2014. After a long break, the event was to
be revived and match to its former success in the
Ansbach suburb of Katterbach this year; but indeed,
this remains a goal.
In Vilseck in the Upper Palatinate, the event has
not been held for two years; ever since the massing
of troops in Grafenwöhr.
Berlin Celebrates
The strict cost-cutting measures do not affect the
German-American Volksfest in Berlin however,
which will be held as planned for the 53 rd time on
the festival ground near the main railway station
from 26 th July to 18 th
August 2013. “It will be
our last appearance in
the area – the site will be
built on from next year.
Moving the event to the
south of the federal
capital, specifically to
the area of former Tempelhof
airport would be
ideal,” said showman
Thilo-Harry Wollenschläger.
The German-
American Volksfest in
Berlin is very well received
by the populace,
and a strong-turnover
event in the Berlin
metropolis.

DEMONSTRATION IN ROSTOCK
Text & Photos:
Kai Morawetz
On 5 th April, some 50 showmen from Germany
and the Netherlands together with the President
of the German Showman Association, Albert
Ritter, protested on the Neuer Markt in Rostock
against plans to build a new theatre in the
Bussebart/ Fischerbastion area, which has
been the strongest turnover section of the
Rostock Christmas Market for many years.
Three sites were under discussion for the planned
theatre, with the Bussebart/Fischerbastion and the
Christinenhafen area being favoured by the city
authorities. The Fischerbastion was already used
as the festival area for, among other events, the
Rostock Pfingstmarkt and circus appearances
during GDR times. For many years, this site has
been an indispensable section of the Rostock
Christmas Market, accommodating the winter fair’s
large ride attractions, which always entice
hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Hanseatic
city during the pre-Christmas period. However, the
rides and coasters at the Fischerbastion are not
only a crowd puller but also a feature unparalleled
on the Christmas Markets in Northern Germany.
Showmen from all over Germany and the Netherlands
with their traditional flags joined their colleagues
in Rostock to loudly protest against the
development plans. Following the demonstration
in front of the city hall, there was a press conference
with Nicole Vermolen (Vice-President of the
European Showman Union) and Albert Ritter, inside
the travelling gastronomic operation from the
Hamberger family. Jörg Vogt (General Manager of
the Großmarkt Rostock GmbH) reported that the
Christmas Fair is one of the most important factors
for the financing of the Rostock Christmas Market.
The loss of these revenues would result in significant
cuts in all sections. Albert Ritter pointed out
that “the theatre costs millions of Euro, while the
showmen bring in millions” and “the largest Christmas
Market in Northern Germany will lose its
character if it is split into two sections, with sales
stalls and ride attractions located far apart.”
According to Marlies Urbigkeit from the Mecklenburg-Western
Pomerania Showman Association,
the showmen’s professional livelihood is put at risk
and the Rostock Christmas Market will shrink
considerably and lose its special flair if the plans
go ahead. “The losses incurred by the showmen at
the Fischerbastion could not be made up for on
remote alternative sites, and would force many of
them to close down their operations,” said Norma
Urbigkeit, Vice-Chairman of the Mecklenburg-
Western Pomerania Showman Association. “Without
the Christmas Market in its current shape, we
could not continue our operations,” showman Igor
Upleger agreed afterwards. In the end, Albert Ritter
concluded, “A theatre would be OK, but not in
a location within this traditional Christmas Market
area.” It cannot be allowed that one cultural asset
is destroyed by another one.
On 8 th April, the members of the Rostock Showman
Association once again emphasized how important
the Fischerbastion site is for them. They arrived
on the Neuer Markt with 20 traction units and
signs proclaiming that although it was only 20 this
time, it could easily be 200 next time!

This question bothered the organiser of the Nürnberg
Frühlingsfest. The contracted wheel from Christina
Jost and her son Torben had vanished into thin air.
There were no clues as to its whereabouts. A couple
of days before the opening on Easter Saturday, it was
known that the wheel had been sold to France and
was no longer available for the metropolis in
Franconia.
There was a lot of frantic telephoning going on – and all
the owners of more than 50-metre-high Ferris Wheels in
Germany announced their interest in stepping in. It was
just bad luck that due to the short term nature of this
'emergency', there was no time for planning. Eventually,
the Oscar Bruch Jnr. firm, stepping in with the “Expo-Star”
Ferris Wheel, came to the rescue of the event, providing
the Nürnberg Dutzendteich fairground with an entirely
ON TOUR IN AMUSEMENT PARK
Text & Photo: Helmut Bresler
Currently two special attractions can be encountered
at Freizeit-Land Geiselwind, located between
Nürnberg and Würzburg. With the “Fahrt zur Hölle”
and the “Wilde Maus”, two new crowd pullers will
entice the public from early May up until the middle
of September.
While Peter Münch has been contracted with one half
of his Double Mouse for the peak season already for
the second time, the “Fahrt zur Hölle” Ghost Ride from
Heinz Jollberg, moved on to the park near the Autobahn
A3 from the Frühjahrsplärrer in Augsburg. Both
showmen want to finish their guest appearance shortly
before the Oktoberfest and participate at the Wiesn.
Both attractions were stormed by the public in the first
few days, and are considered as spectacular novelties
by the public. As there has never been anything like it
before, the Ghost Ride was particularly well received.
new skyline. The new wheel, much higher than the “Royal
Bavarian Wheel” that has been presented in Nürnberg
for more than 20 years, majestically towered over the fairground.
In the early 1990s, the Jost firm began its Nürnberg
appearances with the smaller “Circus Wheel”, which
was succeeded by the Bavarian-style wheel that celebrated
its première at the Interschau in Düsseldorf in
1992, and had been a regular guest in Nürnberg ever
since. There have been intensive discussions among the
showmen about which wheel – and which firm – would
appear at the Volksfest event in autumn. Due to its spontaneously
stepping-in this spring, it will be the Oscar
Bruch Jnr. firm again. “According to current plans, the
Bellevue wheel and the Expo wheel are already under
contract at this point in time – thus the elegant white
'Wheel of Vision' with closed gondolas is free for an appearance
in Nürnberg from 23 rd August to 8 th September
2013,” said management assistant Richard Krolzig. ■
Both attractions fully built up and including decoration
and light elements, have been keenly talked about by
the visitors. The two showmen are pleased with this
engagement, which did not incur any significant stress
during build up and dismantling or excessive transport
costs. Equally pleased were the park owners, who have
attractive crowd pullers and at the same time perfect
promotional media, without having to make multimillion-Euro
investments. With conditions on tour getting
increasingly difficult, arrangements like these may
well be quite common in future. The Freizeit-Land Geiselwind
began as a small bird / pony / fairytale park almost
45 years ago. In 1989, the first four ride attractions
were added, heralding the change from an animal and
bird park to a modern amusement enterprise. Highly
popular with the visitors are, among others, the “Boomerang”
coaster shuffling forwards and backwards,
Blauer Enzian, Enterprise, Break-Dance, Wave-Swinger,
Ferris Wheel, Ranger, Ikarus and an observation
tower. This season, the “Die Wikinger” Swing Boat from
Zierer will take a break for renovation.

PERFECT ILLUSION
Text & Photos:
Helmut Bresler
The legendary "half-lady" and "Spidora, the Spider
Girl” are classic fairground illusions. The eye beholds
something that cannot be true – yet even
seemingly within reach. A highly sophisticated
illusion has been conjured up by the video artist
and designer Till Nowak.
For months, his ride video has been fervently discussed
within the showman scene and at many a 'round
table' alike. He has perfectly combined reality and
fiction and seems to have truly created seven
ludicrous ride ideas. It is high time to bring the 31-yearold
artist, who has just become a father, and the showmen
together. Yet he hesitates at this thought,
suspecting fierce resistance from the touring showmen.
However, curiosity wins through – and there is a
'morning pint' at the Hamburg Frühlingsdom on a quiet
weekday – with Rudi Robrahn, Christian Uhse, and
Thomas Meyer – which is continued in Nürnberg a few
days later, with Ewald Schneider joining the
discussion.
Till Nowak brings a lot of electronic equipment along
with CDs, trade magazines and deceptively real-looking
sketches and drafts of his fantastic rides to Hamburg.
He meets curious showmen, who make him very
welcome and give him their initial response to the
video. “It looked absolutely convincing, utterly realistic.
I simply could not believe what I saw! It took some
moments till I was certain – wow, this is just not possible!”
These were the sentiments expressed by all!
There were immediate discussions, and Till Nowak
described his enduring fascination with fairgrounds
since his childhood. He constantly filmed the crazy
rides, yet did not have any spontaneous idea for a story
and finally dropped the material. Eventually, he came
up with the idea of a further development with new ride
movements – and set to work in his studio. With meticulous
accuracy and professional tools he created a
modern classic of the ride industry. He is truly a professional,
and founded his first company at the age of
just 18, establishing an excellent reputation as video
artist on the international scene. He has received
many prizes for his productions in numerous countries,
including Taiwan, Spain, Australia, Italy, and the US
cities of Chicago and New York. He works for large
companies, a number of well-known TV stations, and
media companies also avail themselves of his skills.
Whatever he does – he does it perfectly! However,
what looks easy in a video is often the result of many
days' work. “Two or three minutes of the complete film
is often the work of several weeks,” says Till Nowak.
After two hours, the meeting ends with the showmen’s
admiration for the ingenious masterpiece of a young
artist, and relishing the insight that as 'outsiders', they
have had into a world so alien to their experience. Till
Nowak has promised the showmen faithfully to take up
their invitation of a backstage tour, by this year's
Winterdom at the latest.

LA ACADEMIA
José Luis San Maximo
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
At the Fira del Ram on the Spanish holiday island
of Majorca, showman José Lius San Maximo from
Seville celebrated the première of his new Walkthrough
construction “La Academia” (the academy),
created and built especially for children.
The children had much fun negotiating the varied and
imaginative course that ran over, among other elements,
two suspension bridges, various climbing
frames, slides, a moving belt or a see-saw. A special
highlight, and probably unparalleled feature, was a
short glass maze that they had to traverse on their
knees. As the inside of the construction is clearly
visible, parents can watch their children negotiating
the obstacles from the outside. The kiddie Walkthrough
construction, which requires only one transport
vehicle, was built by the Spanish Carrocerias Chicharra
firm from Villena near Alicante, within only a
couple of months. Many ideas of the showman were
realized in the construction of the attraction. José Luis
San Maximo has already gained relevant experiences
with his Walkthrough construction “Grand Prix”, which
he has been successfully presenting at the largest and
best known Spanish events for some years. With “La
Academia”, he is now able to present a thrilling
adventure also to children. The compact construction
can be built up within a couple of hours. Its backflash
is collapsible and has been designed to match the
attraction’s theme. Moreover, the façade and the backflash
are decorated with a number of cartoon characters.
After its première in Majorca, the attraction will travel
on to the showman’s home venue, Seville – the largest
and best-known event in Spain. Moreover, this
year’s tour schedule also includes, among other venues,
the events in Malaga and Huelva. For the Spanish
fairgrounds “La Academia” is an unparalleled enrichment,
different from the numerous kiddie rides and
Walking-Waterballs and provides a successful novelty
effect for younger visitors.

FLIP FLY XXL
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
In Germany, the name “Flip Fly” is inseparably
associated with the KMG Swing from the Munich
Clauß firm. Antonio and Laura Garcia from
Spain have also decided in favour of a looping
ride boasting this name.
However, they did not order their looping swing
from the Dutch manufacturer KMG, but rather the
Italian Technical Park firm, which sold its first “Loop
Fighter” to Spain in 2010. The prototype “Inverter”
was not very well accepted by the local public however.
That was one of the main reasons why the
Garcia's opted for the Italian version from Melara.
After the purchase, it was not long before the
Spanish show couple were able to present their
example. As there is an outright excess of swing
attractions at events in most European countries,
they wanted to at least distinguish themselves with
the “Flip Fly XXL”. As a result, the swinging movement
is joined by a looping, providing an additional
surge of adrenaline. Even though the attraction
does not have a backflash, as is the case with most
of the rides touring in Spain, a number of decorative
elements resemble the example touring throughout
Germany, such as the two prominent parachutists
to the left and the right of the supports. Their parachutes
featured on the “Flip Fly XXL” name sign, as
well as the hot-air balloons on the façade, also
feature the name of the attraction. The ride is painted
in red, orange and yellow, and fully equipped
with LEDs that provide a spectacular light show after
dark. “The looping spectacle is very well received
by the Spanish public,” says Antonio Garcia,
who skilfully controls the ride and makes clever announcements
over the microphone. The “Flip Fly
XXL” is the second “Loop Fighter” variation to enrich
the fairgrounds of Spain.

Following the “New Energy 2” (formerly “High
Energy 2”), another Streetfighter of the “Revolution”
type celebrated its première in France last
year. The somersault swing called “Inversion 360°”
and built by Technical Park was presented at the
Fete Foraine in Moissac for the first time. The owner,
the French showman Cédric Baptiste from
Clermont-Ferrand, who took over the brand new
attraction in May 2012, enjoyed a very successful
season last year. Apart from its home town appearance
in Clermont-Ferrand, the tour schedule
included, among other venues, the events in
Toulouse and Nancy. The simple but appealing
design of the swing is dominated by the colours
pink, white and blue with a harmonious lighting
system of LEDs and neon lights. This year, the
“Inversion 360°” will be mainly presented at events
in central France. Moreover, there are plans to tour
the attraction throughout the coastal region in the
south of the country.

VOODOO DANCER
Text & Photos:
Owen Ralph
A brand-new lifting arm Break Dance was
delivered recently to the British showman
Jonathan Hart. The ride made its debut just
before Easter in Yiewsley near London after a
journey of more than 1,700 km from its factory
in Hungary. The 16-car, four-arm machine,
which occupies a footprint of approximately
15 x 18 metres, packs onto just one load.
Originally its owner planned to buy a Freak Out
style construction from the same manufacturer
but soon realised that, as the one of only two
Break Dance rides currently travelling the UK, he
would find it easier to secure ground at some of
the country's larger fairs. His first high profile
engagement with the attraction was an appearance
at Kirkcaldy Links Market in Scotland at the
end of April.
The ride's name and decor, of course, is “inspired”
by Schaeffer's Voodoo Jumper, but this was
not the first theme considered by Hart, who was
previously going to call it Free Styler. This name
can still be seen in metal-flake on the seats. So
far the only lighting other than spotlights is LEDs
in the cars, but lights will soon be added to the
backflash, along with a new sign and extra
decorative features such as flame effects. Clearly
it will take Hart a while to get fully accustomed
to his new purchase, but if he can convince other
showmen of its potential he is hoping to act as an
agent for the manufacturer, who we can identify
as “Misi at Stumpf & Partner.”
It will be interesting to see if Voodoo Dancer can
capture British hearts as Break Dances have
never really been a massive hit with the nation's
fair-goers. This could be for a number of possible
reasons: because they are too similar to a Waltzer
or Twist, because they have not been operated
with the right razzamatazz, or perhaps
because a “proper” Huss machine has never
toured the country. Yet before one gets too dewyeyed
over the German classic, it's worth noting
that if a showman were to place an order for a new
Huss machine today, it too would be manufactured
in Hungary.

On 22 nd March, the brand new kiddie roller coaster
“Kuddel, der Hai” celebrated its première at the
Hamburger Frühjahrs-Dom. The construction, built by
the Italian manufacturer SBF Visa, is owned by Sascha
Belli from Hamburg. With ground measurements of 29
x 18 metres, “Kuddel” is quite large for a kiddie
coaster. The attraction’s theme design features colourful
motifs from the world of sailors and pirates, and the
train and tracks are both newly repainted in blue.
During the event, figures and further details were added
to the attraction. Following the Dom event, the
coaster made an appearance in Braunschweig, and
currently the attraction is being presented at the Schützenfest
in Hannover.

Rocket Tower, Teststrecke, Eclipse, Konga, Roue

names of the rides presented at the 484 th
Hannover Schützenfest from 28 th June to 7 th July
2013, present the promise of varied entertainment
for the whole family ranging from high-tech thrill
to nostalgic fun.
Some 75 days prior to the highlight in the
Hannover calendar of events, Klaus Timaeus,
General Manager of the organising “Hannoversches
Schützenfest e.V.” Society, answered questions
from the Kirmes & Park Revue.
Mr. Timaeus, what are the highlights to be
presented at this year’s largest Schützenfest in
the world?
true novelties as well as long-term participants will be
presented on the fairground. They will once again
include, among other attractions, the large “Break-
Dance” from Stuttgart, the sensational “Booster
Maxxx”, the large water ride, a “Wilde Maus”, and the
speedy “Eclipse” ride.
And what attractions will families be able to
enjoy?
My personal wish was the approval of a nostalgic
veteran car ride, and I am convinced, the
“Schnauferl” will be very well received by the family
public. As the Schützenfest falls within the school
holidays this year, we issued a “Holiday Pass” providing
children and adolescents with reduced fares on
Euro 5, contains ride vouchers worth Euro10.
And what about the attractions for younger
visitors?
SPECIAL
The people from the surrounding region and our
guests from near and far can look forward to an
appealing mixture of thrills and relaxation. From the
spectacular giant chain ride “Rocket Tower” to the
Ferris Wheel presenting nostalgic charm, the large
double-looping coaster “Teststrecke” and the giant
“Konga” Swing to the veteran car ride “Schnauferl”,
An ample selection of kiddie rides will be available,
once again including the baroque kiddie chain
ride from Worms, and the “Lustige Seefahrt” from Berlin.
Moreover, children will be able enjoy another
novelty, the small “Kuddel der Hai” coaster from Hamburg,
where their parents can also ride with them. In
addition to the holiday pass for pupils, a free Punch

What else will be offered on the Hannover Schützenplatz-fairground?
This year, there will be new Funhouse attractions, one of them a
large fun factory called “Freddy’s Company”, the “Hippie Trip” that transports
the visitors back to the 1970s, or the “Amazonas” Walkthrough
construction, providing the visitors with a jungle adventure. The large
highlights - a total of 13 major and round rides - will once again be
accompanied by everything that gives a fairground a special atmosphere,
such as 4 large beer tents, the “Gay People Tent” of course –
highly popular in Hannover – 5 event sections from the Hannover pub
scene with a lot of live music, more than 50 snack and beverage outlets,
11 kiddie rides, 3 dodgem tracks, a go-kart track, 8 shooting galleries
and various Continental Pick stands, as well as games and confectionery
booths and sales stalls. All in all, we expect some 240 operations on
the fairground, 25 of which will be first-time guests in Hannover.

What would you like to tell us about the festival programme and
“tradition”?
Being the organiser, we always try to forge elegant links between
the traditional Schützenfest and the modern Volksfest event. After the
swearing in of the Bruchmeister at the city hall and the official opening
of the event on the Schützenplatz, in which “Günther der Treckerfahrer”
will once again participate with his Lanz tractor, the next highlight will of
course be the long Schützen procession on the first opening Sunday,
which will also be broadcast by the regional NDR television station. On
29th June, the first opening Saturday, a “Festival der Blasmusik” with up
to eight different brass bands will be held in the round section on the
festival ground once again. A new feature will be the so-called “Vogelschießen”
with many prizes, and on 5th July a long show programme
with Heino and Jürgen Drews will be presented inside the beer tent.
I am convinced this evening will attract visitors in droves to the festival
ground. Moreover, there will once again be events for allotment holders,
craftsmen and handicapped people. On the occasion of the largest
Schützenfest in the world, the Schützen Associations from the Harz Uplands
and from the Luneburg Heath will of course also be our guests.
What is the special appeal of the Hannover Schützenfest?
In Hannover, there is a special, close-meshed network between
organiser, Schützen and showmen, and it is a lot of fun to organise the
largest Schützenfest event in the world. This year, a life-sized “Ballerkalle”
figure – the Schützenfest mascot of many years standing – will
extensively advertise the event for the first time. The advertising
campaign will begin already in early June, and Ballerkalle will be
present wherever the action is. Naturally, this also includes Ballerkalle’s
Facebook website. One week prior to the Schützenfest, a Bürgerschießen
advertising the pending Schützenfest with plenty of music and
promotions will once again be held in the Hannover city centre. The
Schützenplatz in Hannover with its beautiful round section surrounded
by greenery is considered to be the most beautiful fairground in
Germany - and rightly so. Ample live music, the new Vogelschießen
event and fantastic first-rate showman attractions will certainly further
liven up this unique event and attract more visitors to the festival ground

ulliver must have experienced something
similar once, when he woke up one morning on
a foreign beach in the legendary kingdom of Lilliput.
When we flew over the 'tent camp from the toy box'
on the Schützenplatz on board a Cessna light plane
on a Saturday morning, we ourselves felt like
Gulliver. From high up in the skies, we saw a colourful
army of ants proceeding through the Hannover
city centre. Of course, we could not hear the hustle
and bustle as the drone of our small plane spoilt the
acoustic experience of the procession and the Hannover
Schützenfest. The lively filigree of the
Schützenplatz, the star of beer tents surrounding the
roundabout of poplars, the cobweb of coasters, the
roulette of rides and the glistening circle of the Ferris
Wheel captivated us even without the accompaniment
of fairground music.”
This article in the Hannoverschen Presse from 9 th July
1969 gives a perfect description of the special
appeal and delightful flair of the “largest Schützenfest
in the world” on the Schützenplatz in the state
capital of Hannover – and 44 years later, with the
484 th Hannover Volksfest being celebrated this year
– the Schützenfest and the Schützenplatz have lost
none of this great atmosphere.
In former times, the Schützen associations were
mainly meant to protect the town from assaults by
hostile rulers and sovereigns, who wanted to restrict
the town’s rights. To this end, Hannover was split into
four military districts, which is reflected in the four
Schützen groups with their four Bruchmeister (representatives
of the city) participating in the Schützen
procession still today. Only in the late 18 th
century, a Volksfest with Vogelschießen, dancing,
beer tents, jugglers, rides and nostalgic wheels
developed in parallel to the annual Schützen competitions.
The annual festival became increasingly
important and was held on a parade ground located
in the south of the city, which later on developed into
the some 10-hectare Schützenplatz with the roundabout
of poplars at its centre.

The Turn of the Century, Pre and Post
World War 2
Around the turn of the century the Schützenplatz was
dominated by horse carousels, nostalgic wheels,
Crinolines, swing boats, and chair-o-planes. Thanks to
the “Karussellkönig”, or Carousel King, Hugo Haase,
who had founded an additional regional office in Hannover
in 1909 and had an impressive villa built in the
east of the town, sensational large ride attractions
came to also be presented at the Schützenfest. These
included the carousel palace with the tiered carousel
from 1902, the neo-baroque Switchback, the “electric
Switchback”, the “Zeppelin-Weltflug” and a number of
his various coasters.
In addition to the figure-of-eight carousel from Haase,
the Sputnik from Willenborg (later Ahrend), the swing
boat from Karl Vorlop and the legendary Toboggan
from Vorlop (Berni’s Bobbahn) caused a furore on the
Schützenplatz in the years after the Second World War.
Economic Miracle, Change and Progress
From the early 1960s, the German Volksfest events
underwent a distinct change; the carousels became
more sophisticated and were also often named after
the latest dance crazes. Moreover, the first space
flights were also reflected in the showman industry.
Steel coasters replaced wooden ones, Ferris Wheels
grew taller, and carousel rides became speedier.
Walter Rick from Hannover was a pioneer of the
showman industry, who began with a labyrinth in the
1930s and operated a “Teufelskutsche” and a
“Wilde Maus” in 1935. In 1950, he added a “Bob-
Schleife” from Mach, which was too heavy for the tour
and sold to Brazil in 1952. Apart from the “Wilde
Maus”, Walter Rick then also operated rides that he
had also helped to develop. “Swing-O-Plane”,
“Bossa Nova”, “Liebeskutsche” and “Twister” are still
recalled by older Hannover residents to this day. In
1968, the wooden mouse was replaced by a steel

coaster from Schwarzkopf. The speedy “Jet Star”, a
coaster with a steep drop and a new type of steep
curve, celebrated its première in neighbouring Hildesheim
two weeks prior to the Hannover Schützenfest.
Already in late 1970 the successor, the “Jet
Star 2” with a newly developed spiral tower ascent
and a good 700-metre track length was introduced,
and together with Gottlieb Löffelhardt, Rick brought
a still larger coaster, a Jumbo-Jet also called “Jet-
Star 3”, to the German fairgrounds.
In the 1960s and 1970s, almost every new and
sensational attraction in the Federal Republic of
Germany appeared on the Hannover Schützenplatz
fairground; Ferris Wheels of different sizes and the
“Motorboot-Regatta”, the coaster “Jet-Star”, “Super-
Acht”, “Blizzard”, “Racing”, “Jumbo-Jet”, “Silber-
Pfeil”, the large constructions “Zeppelin”, “Tokaido-
Express”, “Cresta-Cresta”, the colossus “Apollo 14”
and “Der fliegende Holländer”, as well as rides such
as “Tolle Jolle”, “Polyp”, Titan”, “Hula-Hoop”, “Air
Liner”, “Round-Up”, “Allround”, “Swing-Around”,
“Hollywood-Swing”, “Schwabinchen”, “Mondlift”,
“Rendezvous” and the speedy “Bayernkurve”.
Popular Switchback constructions such as “Santa-
Fé-Express”, “Orion”, “Musik-Express”, and “Petersburger
Schlittenfahrt”, as well as the new major ride
creations “UFO”, “Tri-Star”, and “Enterprise” were
veritably besieged by the public.

Rides such as “Das sündige Dorf”, “Das verzauberte

“Star-Parade”, “Krokodil-Ringkämpfe” and boxing
booths.
Sensations – Premières on the Schützenplatz
Repeatedly, large and sensational ride attractions
have celebrated their premières at the Hannover
Schützenplatz, often receiving even nationwide
media coverage.
In July 1969, the “Zeppelin I.” from Rosenzweig
performed its maiden flight on the Schützenplatz,
with the press reporting about the unique attraction
28 metres high and weighing 135 tons.
In 1970, the “fastest train in the world”, the “Tokaido-
Express” from Tiemann, celebrated its première on
the Schützenplatz; a ride attraction the Volksfest
visitors had never seen before, as it was the prototype
of a track ride built by Mack. Its successor from
Otto Tiemann, the modified “Hitachi-Express 2”,
celebrated its première in Hannover as well, in 1972.
A huge ride attraction went into operation in Hannover
on 2 nd July 1971. After a construction time of
several years, the “Apollo 14” from Anton Beuermann
from Berlin had been transported on 17

railway wagons from Münsterhausen in Swabia to
the city on the Leine River, where visitors gaped at
the moon globe 18 metres in diameter, watching in
awed fascination the flight of the Apollo capsule.
Back then, the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung
wrote with a somewhat ironic tone, “When the Apollo
14 journey to the moon begins, the Capri fishermen
cast out their nets over the loudspeakers”. Nonetheless
– just five months earlier, on 5 th February
1971, the genuine “Apollo 14 space capsule” had
landed on the moon.
The next sensational world première at the Schützenfest
was celebrated in 1980, when the more than
60-metre high transportable Ferris Wheel from Steiger
could go into operation only around midnight
after an exciting countdown, as a number of electronic
components were delivered late. The Hannover
press published reports about the world
première of the 380-ton construction, its TÜV
inspection and the load test with 336 beer barrels in
its 42 gondolas. Moreover, Lord Mayor Schmalstieg
also made a première spin as guest of honour.
Four years later, in July 1984, railway wagons had
again rolled from Münsterhausen to Hannover, holding
the “Dreier Looping” from Rudolf Barth, which
was built up for the first time and celebrated its world
première in Hannover. Once again, the Volksfest
visitors were enthralled by this new looping attraction
with its unique, speedy drop, and long queues
formed in its station area. Unfortunately, this proved
to be a big disadvantage to the large “Münchner
Bahn”, which had not been dismantled after the 1984
Spring Festival on the Schützenplatz. Due to its sensational
competitor, it was not as well received as expected.
Modern Times – the 1980s
Even though the 1980s are still derided as “the
decade of bad taste” these days, they brought very
many good novelty attractions, and many of them
made one or more appearances on the Hannover
Schützenplatz. A Bremen manufacturer in particular
produced many great, new ride attractions that proved
highly popular with the public, including the
“Pirat”, “Ranger”, “Rainbow”, “Condor”, “Ikarus”,
“Flipper”, and “Magic”, and these appeared almost
every year. Having evolved from the “Projekt 17”, the
“Break-Dance”, more than 40 examples of which
have been sold in Germany since 1985, proved to
be the absolute top Volksfest hit. Meanwhile, it
numbers among the Volksfest classics and is an outright
cult ride, just as is the dodgem track and the
Musik-Express.
26

In the 1980s, they were joined for the first time by
travelling water rides, multi-level Ghost Rides and
large coasters with and without looping elements.
New Ferris Wheels of different sizes and types were
built, and prototypes, small series of attractions and
one-off constructions repeatedly provided surprises
to the Volksfest scene, such as the large Flying
Carpet “1001 Nacht”, the “Wellenflug”, “Hexentanz”,
“Happy Sailor”, the exotic “Happy Traveller”, the
“Sky-Rider”, “Drachenflug” and the “Galactica”. With
“Cinema 180” and “Omnivision”, cinematography
with a completely 'new look' enticed the visitors into
domed halls, providing them with a compelling new
type of cinema and movie experience. While many
of these attractions have successfully survived to
this day, some of them have, unfortunately, far too
quickly disappeared from the fairgrounds.
Spectacular, Distinctive and Unique
This final chapter focuses on the 1990s and the years
around the turn of the millennium, which saw the
“Wilde Maus” come back to the fairgrounds as a
steel construction, sometimes even as a double-
Mouse, such as presented at Hannover by the Kinzler
firm in 1994. The Triple-Looping was replaced by
the “Olympia-Looping”, a five-loop construction and
frequent guest in Hannover, just as was the “Alpina-

construction. In 2005, the sensational “Euro-Star”

While the richly curved “Spinning-Racer” and
the “Magic Mountain” indoor coaster, later on renamed
“Star-World”, were repeatedly built up in Hannover,
the “Phantasia”, “Extrem” and the “Horror
Vision” made only a single appearance on the Schützenplatz.
Of course, the ride sector was also represented by
sensational attractions in Hannover, with “Evolution”,
“Flying Circus”, “Salto Mortale”, “Airwolf”, “Shot'n
Drop”, “Power Tower” and “Star-Flyer” being new
highlights. In the meantime, the “Crinoline”, also
highly popular in Hannover, had unfortunately left
Germany, and a once-only event was presented in
Hannover in 2006. This presented the spectacular
sight of people soaring across the Hannover Schützenplatz
on the steel cables of the “Mach 1”
construction from the Traber brothers - just as did
that tiny Cessna in 1969.

“MEGA”-FAIR IN WUPPERTAL (7 th to 10 th JUNE)
A LOOK FORWARD
Text: Michael Petersen
From 7 th to 10 th June, the 2 nd Wuppertal “Mega”
Fair will take place, last year’s success of
which was a surprise even for eternal optimists.
Considering its size, the name of the
event seems quite exaggerated however.
According to the organiser, the Wuppertal
Showman Association, they stuck to the provocative
name of “Mega” Fair, as they have
again succeeded in putting together an
appealing fairground with outstanding attractions
for the second staging of the new fair in
the 'cable car city'.
However, the unexpected success of last year’s
“Mega” Fair also whetted the appetite for an extension.
Moreover, many visitors expressed their
wish for a Ferris Wheel or a coaster.
Within only a couple of days of the call for bids for
the 2 nd Wuppertal Mega-Kirmes, the organiser received
more than 500 applications, giving rise to
consideration of a sensible extension of the fair.
The topography of the site set limits to this idea
however, as the stadium forecourt is not available
for hire, and the car park is reserved for the guests
of the sports association. There is however another
artificial grass football pitch in the stadium
area that resembles a sports hall floor. After intense
negotiations and assurances from both
sides, a section of this pitch can now be built up
on. Nevertheless, it has to be remembered that
the effective weight restriction is less than 5 tons
per square metre. Even though not suitable for a
Ferris Wheel, a ride attraction, a water ride, or a
coaster can be built up in this area. Thus, a large
steel coaster will once again come to Wuppertal
for the first time after a break of 30 years; namely
the “Spinning Racer” from Bruch. The last coaster
to cause a furore on the Kötterplatz was the
“Doppellooping” in 1983. Of course, the attraction
with rotating gondolas will first feature in the
advertising for the fair.
From the 500 applications received, the organiser
was able to put together a fairground with the
largest number ever of true top attractions, including
six novelties for Wuppertal. On the forecourt
of the “Zoo/Stadium” cable car station, Schneider’s
“Pirates Adventure” will surely cause quite a
furore, which being moved still closer to the cable
car station will make an even more imposing

impression. Langenberg’s “Venezianisches Pferdekarussell”
however will stand in the "open”, thus
presenting its magnificent visual appearance to
its best advantage. Also built up in the stadium
area will be Rolf Fuhrmann’s “Kettenflieger”; this
nostalgic ride has attained cult status in Wuppertal.
Next to it, the “Circus Circus” round ride
(Bruch/Gründler), appearing in Wuppertal for the
first time, will hold the top-end site. Of course, the
selection of attractions not only provides for
family rides, but also for thrill attractions. These
include the giant “Booster Maxxx G4” Propeller
(Hoefnagels/Denis), which will be presented in
Wuppertal for the first time. Another top attraction
contracted will be the “Konga” (Küchenmeister).
Built up close to the cable car, the mega swing
will be a unique advertising medium, showing itself
to its full advantage. In addition to the large
attractions, younger visitors will be able to enjoy
kiddie rides from Kretz and Hartmann, as well as
the “walking waterballs” from Kretz. An ample
choice of games booths, shooting galleries and
sales booths, as well as snack and beverage
stalls leaving nothing to be desired, will round off
the selection of attractions.
Advertising measures for the 2 nd “Mega” Fair have
been stepped up, including some 650 posters
being put up at clearly visible spots throughout
the city, and huge posters being installed at every
cable car station. In addition, full-colour
advertisements will be placed in the newspapers,
and the programme of the Kinopalast will also repeatedly
feature a full-colour advertisement.
Naturally, the event will also be advertised on the
local radio stations and the local television station.
Moreover, 15,000 flyers and thousands of
stickers will be distributed. For the first time, a synchronized
fireworks display will be held in Wuppertal
this year, with rockets and firework bombs
shot into the sky from the north and the south
stand of the stadium at the same time. Accordingly,
visitors will be able to enjoy the pyrotechnic
spectacle from any vantage point.
The Family Day on the Monday, with reduced
prices at all the attractions, will be another highlight
of the event. The cable car, closed on Saturday
and Sunday due to construction work, will be
replaced by buses that will bring the visitors
directly to the fairground, and there will be free
parking facilities available around the site. ■

FRONLEICHNAMSKIRMES IN STERKRADE (29 th MAY TO 3 rd JUNE)
A LOOK FORWARD
Text: Michael Petersen
From 29 th May to 3 rd June, the 184 th Corpus
Christi Day Fair will be held in the Oberhausen
district of Sterkrade. The sites along the some
2.5-km circuit course of the traditional street
festival and Volksfest event in the city centre
will once again be occupied by a varied selection
of rides, including Ghost rides, a coaster
and a Ferris Wheel. The atmosphere in the
narrow streets and at the fairgrounds is fantastic,
and attracts more than one million visitors
to the revered and much-loved, first-class event
every year.
For many years, the Corpus Christi Day Fair has
offered a varied and appealing selection of fairground
attractions, and therefore enjoys great
popularity. As a detailed advertising campaign has
enticed an increasing number of visitors to this
traditional Volksfest in the city centre over the past
years, the event is also held in great esteem and is
very popular with the showmen. This year, fairground
director Sina Illmann has carefully chosen
380 showman operations and 30 market merchants
from some 1,300 applications received, for
one of the coveted sites. Due to constant changes,
the street festival and Volksfest event seems to
offer a different overall image every year, replete
with both regular participants and novelties. While
a number of rides retain their traditional sites, serving
somewhat as landmarks, others cannot be
moved to other sites due to their size.
Obvious Changes
This year, there will be a number of modifications,
clearly changing the usual aspect. This year, the
"Bellevue” Ferris Wheel will neither perform its
rounds next to the city hall, nor at in any other
location, as the “Roue Parisienne” Ferris Wheel
from Burghard-Kleuser will make an appearance
in Sterkrade this time. The Ferris Wheel, sporting
both open and closed gondolas, will be built up on
the Hirschhügel, where it will serve as the principal
landmark of the fair. In addition to the Ferris Wheel,
visitors will encounter the “Starlight” dodgem track
(Petter), “Große Geisterbahn” (Schütze), “Raupenbahn”
(Steiger/Buchholz), “Breakdance” (Bruch),
and the “Auf Manitus Spuren” Water Ride (Heitmann/Schneider).
At the city hall, visitors will be
taken high up into the sky by Nülken’s giant “Sky-
Dance” chain ride that will provide a stunning view
this year. Next to the chain ride, Wegener’s “Beach
Jumper” will provide pure ride fun.
As in the past few years, the well-organised and
festive opening of the Corpus Christi Fair will be
held in Albert Ritter’s large 'experience beer
garden' which will retain its usual site. In the front
section of Eugen-zur-Nieden-Ring there will not be
a Funhouse construction, but rather a large snack
booth this time, and near the steps leading to the
Hirschhügel, the “Venezianische Pferdekarussell”
(Langenberg) will make its début, flaunting its
magnificent appearance. Further along the street,
in front of the bunker, the “Shake & Roll” from Schäfer
will perform its rounds this year. In front of the
steeple of St. Clemens Church, the mega Swing
“Konga” from Küchenmeister will celebrate its
début, and the popular classic ride at the Corpus
Christi Day Fair, the “Love-Express” from Michael
Kreft, will occupy its usual site in this area.
Prominently Occupied Neumarkt
This year, visitors will encounter a prominently
occupied Neumarkt, with the “Spinning Racer”
once again being effectively built up in the centre
of the fairground. The coaster will be surrounded
by the “Wellenflieger” (Wendler), “Circus Circus”
(Bruch-Gründler) and the “Schloss Dracula”
(Schütze), as well as the “Salto Mortale” (Gusowski
/ Langenberg). As a result, the Neumarkt will
offer an independent fairground offering ride fun
and a creepy atmosphere for all visitor groups.
In accordance with another change, only one side
of the course will be occupied by attractions in the
direction of the Zilianplatz/Ostrampe; a good
decision, considering the crowded ‘bottleneck’
that developed in this area last year. This year, the
“Alpen-Hotel” (Rasch) and the “Octopussy” (Markmann)
will make their début on this site, while the
large “Diamond” dodgem track (Hartkopf-Osselmann)
will occupy its traditional site in this location.
Finally, Robrahn’s “Frisbee” will cause a something
of a furore in front of the railway station.
Mascot ”Kira”
At long last, a fairground mascot will be offered this
year. “Kira” the raven is sure to capture the hearts
of the younger visitors in particular. The Sterkrade
heraldic emblem was chosen in a special competition.
Among the highlights of the event there will be: Two
happy-hours at the start of the 6-day event,
followed by the official opening ceremony in Ritter’s
beer garden at 5 p.m.; the special event “Hits
für Kids” on Saturday; and the brilliant fireworks
display for the finale of the Corpus Christi Fair on
the Monday.

Halveraner Kirmes
HALVER
31.05.– 03.06.2013
Michael Petersen
Freitag 18.00 Uhr:
Musikalische Eröffnung mit Fassanstich
Montag Familientag & Feuerwerk
Kirmes inmitten der Stadt
Fourteen days after Pentecost (31 st May to 3 rd June), the Halver Kirmes will
attract not only the locals to the town centre in the Sauerland, as many former
Halver residents will also take the opportunity to enjoy themselves with old
acquaintances at the popular fair event. The fair-mile on the Bahnhofsstraße
and Frankfurter Straße, providing a varied entertainment contingent of ride
and Funhouse attractions – including several novelties for Halver – as well
as snack booths and beverage stalls, will leave nothing to be desired.
The traditional fair is organised by the town authorities and supported by many
voluntary helpers, and has always been and always will be celebrated in the town
centre. This is a clear statement and the position of those in charge of the towncentre
fair, which is one of the town’s outstanding promotional media. This statement
is strongly underlined by the marketing survey of the DSB (German Showman
Association). It is a well-known fact in Halver though that a town-centre fair
does also have its perfidies and imponderables, such as limited space and many
obstacles to be overcome. That is why
the town authorities already took farsighted
decisions many years ago,
according to which street signs and
flower tubs can be temporarily removed
without any difficulties. Everything
else impeding the fair is removed in
good time in a pre-calculated, combined
effort. 120 attractions were
chosen from more than 400 applications
received this time, including both
regular participants as well as
appealing attractions new to Halver.
The varied potpourri of rides is
appreciated by locals and guests
alike. All of them look forward to new
rides, coasters and show booths, providing
the fair with a new overall
image every year. As is tradition, the
Halver Fair will be opened with the
obligatory beer tapping ceremony,
accompanied by rustic music, on the
Friday at 6 p.m. The showmen will be
allowed to open their attractions for a
little “warm-up” already in the afternoon.
This year’s supporting programme
will provide three further
highlights; namely the 1-Euro Day at
the beverage outlets on Sunday – a remarkable
event taking place on one of
the peak days; the Family Day also
providing considerably reduced
prices on the last opening day; and for
the finale, a brilliant fireworks display
in the evening. The “Wildwasser-Raftingbahn”
from the Kriek family will be
presented as the main attraction at the
event this year. Moreover, the equally
attractive “Formula 1” Booster from
Havermann-Spelbrink will provide
visitors with a surge of adrenaline.
While visitors will be able to experience
swinging fun on Weber’s “Rocket”,
they will require muscular strength to
make it up into the sky in Prumbaum’s
“Sky-Glider”. With Bonner’s “Breakdance”
and Zinnecker’s “Tornado”,
two further large round rides will be
available, along with the “Drive in”
dodgem track (Schmidt), Musik Express
(Wendler), “Sky Flyer” (Zimmermann),
and the “Pirates” Miami (Menges).
Additionally, the show and fun
sector will be represented by the
“Happy Family” (Heine) and the
“Movie World” (Hortmeier). Of course,
there will also be an ample choice of
kiddie rides for the younger visitors.■

PREMIÈRE
Première in Recklinghausen:
“Cobra” from Angelo
Agtsch
In late summer last year, showman
Angelo Agtsch surprised
the industry with his purchase of
the compact “XenoX” Looping
Coaster, which had successfully
toured throughout Switzerland
under the management of the
showman Andreas Bauer from
Zuchwil. The first venues were
the Volksfest events in Detmold
and Lemgo. After redesigning
the attraction during the winter
months, Angelo Agtsch celebrated
the successful and muchnoticed
première with the redesigned
Looping Coaster, renamed
as “Cobra”, at the Palmkirmes
in Recklinghausen.
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
Cobra
In autumn 2011, Angelo Agtsch and his partner
Miriam Blume decided to add a ride attraction to
their firm's inventory, with the “Xenox” coaster being
at the top of their wish list. The Looping Coaster had
attracted their attention during an appearance in
Basle at the same time. The construction’s compact
measurements and the exciting ride it offered,
considerably increased their interest in this attraction.
Moreover, the fact that the compact coaster fills a
niche in their tour schedule, and does not further
contribute to the excess supply of swings and
propellers, tipped the scales in its favour. As a result,
Angelo Agtsch contacted the Bauer family expressing
his interest in purchasing the attraction. While the
coaster was bought after brief negotiations as early
as the spring of 2012, it was taken over only after the
Basle Herbstmesse, the traditional end of the season
in Switzerland, as was agreed. In the meantime, they
had thought about a new theme for the ride. With
“Cobra” an appropriate name was easily found, and
the idea for the design came from their circle of
friends. The MP Design firm, which had already been
responsible for designing the adventure construction
“Amazonas”, was contracted to carry out the plans.
Perfect Outfit
To begin with, the coaster was dismantled in Switzerland
and transported to Munich. Next, the Gams firm
repainted the tracks, supports, and the cars. As the
tracks were covered with a special varnish paint
containing luminous pigments, they light up as spotlights
are trained on them in the evenings, providing
the Looping Coaster with a truly extraordinary illumination.
The last decoration elements arrived one day
after the opening of the Palmkirmes and were mounted
immediately. This done, it turned out that the MP
Design firm had realised the design draft true almost
to every last detail. The paybox and entrance area
were elaborately decorated with many signs, the
coaster's logo, wooden beams, paraffin lamps, an oil
barrel and benches. Particularly striking are the large
cobra heads, mounted on top of the paybox and the
tower, as well as at the highest point of the coaster,
and the palm trees with their small palm leaves
38

PREMIÈRE
Large Cobra heads
dominate the new decoration of
the coaster
moving in the wind can hardly be distinguished from
genuine palm trees. The well-considered decoration
leaves nothing to be desired and provides the
coaster with a perfect outfit.
Construction by Werner Stengel
The attraction designed by Werner Stengel was built
by the Interpark firm four years ago with a front length
of 31 metres, a depth of 21 metres and a track height
of 31 metres. Two trains accommodating 10 people
can travel along the tracks at the same time, secured
by three blocks. The trains are equipped with the
latest shoulder restraint system and provide additional
foot rests, thus also allowing for children, although
they are required to be not less than 130 cm in height.

PREMIÈRE
Angelo Agtsch, Miriam
Blume, and Pastor Sascha
Ellinghaus at the inauguration
of the coaster
The lift chain runs only once the train has passed the
first sensor.
In the long run, this design saves a lot of power.
Particularly striking is the coaster’s triangular base
plan due to which the construction requires hardly any
more space than a large round ride. The station is
located on the rear side and does not impede the view
on the coaster, so that the public can watch the entire
ride sequence, the train climbing the steep ascent, the
drop into the twisted looping as well as the speedy,
twisty ride up to the station. This coaster provides pure
ride fun, not least due to its impressive looping.

AACHEN
Novelty in Aachen: “The
King” from Zinnecker
Text & Photo: Michael Petersen
The “Öcher Bend”, organised by Eurogress
Aachen, enjoys a high rating in popularity among
the Volksfest events in the three-border triangle.
For this year’s edition of the Osterbend, beginning
on 30 th March and ending on 15 th April, 125
showman operations were chosen from the more
than 1,100 applications received.
In addition to family rides, thrill rides offered something
for everybody on the some 40,000-square
metre fairground near the city centre. As the organiser
deliberately refrained from making any
changes, the layout of the area with cross rows was
almost the same as in the years before. However, a
number of showmen would like to have the “old”
circuit course back, which had the advantage that
visitors inevitably had to go past all the attractions
and no showman operation was located off the beaten
track. However, it has to be said that this is not
possible due to stricter rules allowing for rapid
evacuation of the Bend-fairground.
This year, the “Europa-Rad” from Kipp was placed
in the centre of the fairground, clearly visible from
any distance. Kriek’s giant Propeller “Gladiator”, the
novelty at the Bend, towered over the Ferris Wheel
by several metres. Another novelty at the Osterbend
was the new swing “The King” (Zinnecker), built up
at the main entrance. Further highlights included the
“Voodoo-Jumper” from Schäfer and Fackler’s
“Apres Ski Party”. The “Große Geisterbahn” from
Schütze provided the finest creepy fun, and the funhouse
sector was represented by Kutschenbauer’s
“Magic House” and the “Kristallpalast” from Sturm.
With the “Spinning Racer” from Bruch and “Willy der
Wurm” (Roos) there were also two completely different
track rides available. The selection of rides was
rounded off by Schäfer’s “Shake”, the Musik Express
from Milz-v.d.Bosch, Barth’s “Südseewellen”, and
the two indispensable dodgem tracks from Loosen
and Grass. Moreover, there were numerous and
varied kiddie rides for the younger visitors. Positively
worth mentioning were the many seating possibilities
in the gastronomic operations, which enticed
the visitors to stay longer. Additionally, an ample
variety of special events even turned the weekdays
into a special experience. To begin with, two happy
hours were held prior to the official opening of the
Osterbend. Furthermore, the supporting programme
once again included two Students' Days, two
Family Days and a Ladies Day, and Ryanair even
gave away a number of flight tickets in a promotional
campaign. On the last evening, which once again
brought about good financial results for the showmen,
the event was closed by a brilliant fireworks
display. This time, the Aachen Osterbend was not
spared from cold weather, which was inevitably reflected
in turnover.

Première in Iserlohn:
“Brasil” (Schürmann)
ISERLOHN
Text & Photo: Michael Petersen
As was the case with all the other Easter fair events,
the Iserlohn Osterkirmes - held in the Seiler Lake
recreation area from 30 th March to 7 th April - suffered
from an unusual 'replay' of winter. However, considering
the snowy and cold weather, most of the
participating showmen were pleasantly surprised
with their results at the end of the event.
During the few sunny and dry hours, visitors came to the
Seiler Lake-fairground and enjoyed themselves at the
traditional Easter Fair, which was well laid out and offered
an ample selection of ride, games, and sales attractions.
Apart from the regular participants, the Iserlohn
event always provides a variety of new ride and funhouse
attractions. As a result, visitors can look forward to a newly
designed Easter fair every year. The fairground, which
was once again covered with gravel at considerable expense
to provide for reasonably dry pathways, was decorated
not only with the skilfully designed entrance
gate, but also by many rows of flags this year. As the city
authorities are currently planning physical alterations to
improve the fairground’s condition in the near future, they
have asked the local showman association to specify
which areas, in their view, need to be paved. The topend
and corner sites were once again appealingly occupied,
with the Ferris Wheel built up in the centre of the
fairground offering visitors a magnificent view, and the
“Brasil” Walkthrough construction presented as a novelty
at Iserlohn. The tireless work of the organizer is increasingly
paying off. Unlike at other events, visitor attendance
at the Easter fair at the Seilersee was still very
reasonable, despite adverse weather conditions. ■

COLOGNE
Text & Photos:

This year’s Cologne Frühlingsvolksfest on the
Deutz banks of the Rhine (30 th March to 14 th April)
provided a first-class occupancy and a perfectly
laid-out fairground. The event’s skyline, visible
from any distance, attracted some 600,000 visitors
to the banks of the Rhine this year.
The illuminated entrance gate welcomed visitors from
near and far and decoration elements matching the
season of the year, as well as colourful pennants,
provided a cosy atmosphere. This year, the entire
length of the fairground between the two Rhine
bridges was once again occupied by fairground
attractions of every kind, with ride and Funhouse
attractions as well as games and sales booths being
built up one after the other, and the huge Cologne
Cathedral forming a truly monumental setting. That
was quite a sight, and many amateur photographers
immortalized this unique motif from the said Rhine
bridges.
With the “Avenger” inversion (Holzem), a première
could once again be celebrated at the Cologne Frühlingsfest.
The swing was built up on the very best site
in the entrance area, where it left a highly convincing
impression. Another novelty for Cologne was the “Rio
Rapidos” Rafting Ride (Kaiser), which had come hot
from Bavaria. Visible from afar were the “Jupiter”
Ferris Wheel (Barth/Kipp), the giant “Mach 5” Propeller
(de Vries), as well as the “The Tower” from Blume.
The “Geisterstadt” from the Fellerhoff family, providing
a creepy atmosphere in Cologne for the first time, was
very well received by the public. The fun sector was
represented by the “Super Marci World” (Markmann)
and “Freddy´s Company” (Hofmann-Jehn), and the
“Wilde Maus” from Barth providing proper coaster fun
also attracted a large number of visitors.
Other ride attractions presented were the “Love
Express” (Kreft), “Insider” (Schöneseifen), “Krake”
(Markmann), Breakdance (Bonner) and “Wellenflug”
(Blume). The two fireworks displays held on 30 th March
and on 13 th April numbered among the highlights of the
supporting programme. On both Family Days (3 rd and
10 th April) prices were considerably reduced at all
attractions, and 5 th April turned romantic on the richly
decorated Ferris Wheel, when as many as four
couples took a vow to spend their future lives together
in the “engagement gondolas”.
Due to the cold weather, turnover did not meet the expectations
of many a showman. Revenues in Cologne
were further reduced by the music being turned off already
at 9.30 p.m. and the lights going out at 10.00
p.m. The influence of a single resident, who had filed
a suit about the noise level at the fairground, seems to
have been a very strong factor. What are the city
authorities actually afraid of? It is hard to fathom that a
single plaintiff spoils fairground fun for thousands of
visitors and the financial results of the showmen. This
must surely give rise to doubts about our judicial system!
Not far from the fairground, the “Flic Flac” circus
had built up its new big top and put up a large number
of posters in the city at the same time. Moreover, the
media repeatedly published the new programme,
which was a further detriment to the fair event. ■

“House of Horror”, chain
ride, and Ferris Wheel at the
Spring and Trade Festival
The Caterpillar Ride from
Nachtigall at Elsterwerda
Text & Photos: Rolf Orschel
This year’s Frühlings und Gewerbefest (Spring
and Trade Festival) held in the small town of
Elsterwerda in the Brandenburg Elbe-Elster
district from 19 th to 21 st April, was dedicated to the
motto “Vereinte Wirtschaft”, or united economy.
Enjoying sunny weather, locals and many guests
from near and far enjoyed the varied choice offered
by tradesmen, as well as the fairground laid out
in the Industrial Estate East, located directly
adjacent to the B169 federal highway.
With two huge supermarkets, a DIY market, a
furniture shop, a fashion centre, a market specialising
in wood craft, a number of car dealerships and other
shops, it is an important crowd puller for the surrounding
region. In 1996, the industrial estate advertising
association tried to establish a spring festival in this
area for the first time. From the quite humble beginnings
by today’s point of view, the event has evolved
into one of the largest Volksfest events in the town’s
calendar of events in the last 17 years. For many years
now, the spring fair has been organised by showman
Tino Krämer, who once again succeeded in choosing
and engaging appealing attractions from the applications
received this year. The showman attractions
have been placed in two rows for some time now in
the rear section of Kochortsweg. At the intersection to
Erlenweg, the “Moulin Rouge” Ferris Wheel from Wolters/Domke,
clearly visible from any distance and from
traffic on the B169, provided visitors with a
magnificent view. Moreover, guests encountered the
Breakdance from Sobczyk, Nachtigall’s Caterpillar
Ride, the Chain Ride from Sperlich, the “Free Fall” from
Nachtigall, the “Tornado” mini coaster (Nachtigall),
and the “House of Horror” Walkthrough construction
(Plaenert & Schieck). A number of kiddie rides and an
ample selection of concession stalls of all kinds rounded
off the entertainment contingent, and a number of
snacks, confectionery, ice cream, and beverage
operations provided visitors with food and drinks. The
individual attractions were well spread out, and often
particularly effectively placed along the course. The
events in the industrial estate began on Friday with an
entertainment programme and a fantastic fireworks
display, before the spring festival was officially opened
at 10 p.m. on Sunday evening. The colourful mixture
of a large bric-a-brac market, an antique and flea
market, a varied offering from local companies,
colourful entertainment programmes and a spring fair,
once again enticed many thousands of visitors
this year.

PRAGUE

Ton Koppei
The traditional Frühjahrskirmes Matejska Pout in
the Czech capital of Prague, held from 2 nd March to
21 st April, celebrated a notable anniversary. For the
50 th time, the event was held in the large area
behind the historic Vystaviste fair halls. The
festival’s origins date much further back, to the
year 1595 in fact, and thereby the Matejska Pout
numbers among the oldest fair events in Europe.
Basically, the current festival ground offers a large
circuit course, and for years a small fee has to be
paid at the entrance to the area.
Represented at this year’s event were showmen from
the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Austria, and
even though the Matejska Pout was as attractive as
usual, there were only a couple of novelties in 2013.
For the first time presented in Prague was, among
others, the "Geistervilla" from the Sipkema family. The
Dutch showman-family took over this Ghost ride from
the Zinnecker firm in the autumn of 2012 in addition to
their larger Spuk construction, which they presented
in Prague in 2012. A creepy atmosphere was also
provided by the Walkthrough constructions "Zombies"
and "Temple of Adventure”, from the Austrian Stessl
firm in Prague.
The skyline of this year’s event was once again
shaped by high constructions from the Netherlands. In
addition to Van der Beek’s "Around The World" tower
ride, visitors were able to enjoy the high Inversion from
Ordelman and a Booster Maxx from the De Voer firm
in Prague, along with the Snow Jet, River Rafting and
the Super Mouse, as well as the sound machine that
has been popular for so many years, which hails also
from the Netherlands.
The Czech showmen once again presented their
successful constructions. Yet again built up in the front
area of the fairground were the Funhouse and the
Superbowl, as well as a Miami. Further along the
course visitors encountered, among other attractions,
the Booster, Energy Rush and two Breakdance
constructions, as well as Pirate, Enterprise, two Ghost
Rides, Jungle King, coaster, Double-Ranger, several
dodgem tracks, as well as a permanently installed
Ferris Wheel. While games containers offering the
latest games try to entice the public in the Dutch
section of the fairground, every year the Czech showmen
present classic, mechanical shooting galleries,
still highly popular in 2013. Unfortunately, the event
suffered from freezing temperatures, so the Matejska
Pout did not really gain momentum. As was the case
throughout Europe, the long delay in the onset of
spring substantially affected the course of business.
By the way, in addition to the well-known Matejska
Pout, a smaller event is held in the same area in
autumn; namely the Vaclavska Pout, presenting only a
handful of attractions, all from local showmen. ■

NANCY
Long-running hit in Nancy:
“Move in Top”
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
At this year’s traditional French “Foire Attractive de
Printemps” event in Nancy, held on the Carnot and
Leopold fairgrounds from 29 th March to 28 th April,
visitors were able to enjoy many novelties.
Among them there were as many as five over-the-top
rides appearing in the large French city for the first
time, which were joined by another three rides with
loopings; namely the regular participants “Shaker
Dance”, “Katapult” and “Top Scan”. With more than
170 attractions, this was excessive, even for this large
event in Nancy. “Less” would have definitely been
“more”.
Further novelties for Nancy included, among other
attractions, Kopp’s “Booster Maxxx”, Coquoz’s “Avenger”,
Pfausser’s “New World”, Baptiste’s “Inversion
360°”, and the “Move it 32”. With the “Mini Chenille”
Switchback, there was even a novelty for young
visitors. Moreover, the “Super Railway”, “Move in Top”,
“Bayern Kurve”, “Breakdance”, “Shakers”, “Tokaido
Express”, a Ferris Wheel, “Tagada”, “Simulator”,
Caterpillar Ride and “Twister” were once again among
the long-standing hits.
After a break of several years, the “Euro Splash” water
ride was presented at the event once again. The
“Haunted” and the “Psycho” provided creepy fun, and
a number of Walkthrough constructions rounded of the
cornucopia of ride attractions. The double storey
“Kheops Labyrinth”, taking visitors to the Kingdom of
the Pharaohs, surprised the public with a redesigned
façade. The almost unmanageable number of games
attractions was just as popular. Designated Family
Days were 10 th and 17 th April, offering reduced prices
at all attractions. Once again, it was possible to welcome
more than 1 million visitors at the “Foire” this year.
The high visitor attendance emphasized the popularity
and excellent reputation that the top-class event
enjoys not only among the showmen. The only
negative occurrence was a fire to which the popular
Brasserie “Au Feu de Bois” fell victim during the night
of the 14 th April.

From 30 th March to 14 th April, the 141 st Foire de
Paques was held in the small town of Saint-Dizier,
in northern France. The event, which is highly
popular throughout the surrounding region,
offered a number of novelty and top attractions.
The fairground is located in the town park “Parc Du
Jard”, only a few metres from the town centre. An
avenue with tall trees and small concession stalls
(the large ride and Funhouse construction were
once again built up behind it) lined the main path
of the idyllic area, where the trees were not yet
green this year, due to the long, cold winter.
It was possible to select and engage a large
number of novelties for the Foire, with the “Infinity”
Propeller being repeatedly heralded as the most
impressive novelty in the local press. Directly
opposite, visitors were able to try out the Smashing
Jump ride “Maxi Jumping” - another novelty. The
selection of debutantes was completed by the
“Discovery”, the “Disco Dance” Track Ride and the
“Outbreak”; the latter a unique ride attraction in
France. Presented among the long-standing hits
were the magnificent “Himalaya” switchback, the
Take Off variation “Shake off”, the “Extreme” Breakdance
built in Italy, the “Karting” go-kart track, and
the “Toboggan”. The Walkthrough sector was also
very well presented by the “Showbiz”, one of the
largest Walkthrough constructions currently travelling
in France, along with the “American Show” and
the “Ypser” labyrinth. Particularly noticeable at the
“Showbiz” were the two “Blues Brothers” figures,
singing and moving to the rhythm at irregular intervals.
The selection of attractions from the fun
sector was rounded off by the “Cinema 5 D”, showing
a number of films. Moreover, a large number of
kiddie rides, such as mini-sodgem, train group,
walking-waterballs, coaster, kiddie ride, quart,
bumper-cars and “Happy Sky”, gladdened the
hearts of the younger visitors. Moreover, visitors
encountered several appealing snack booths
serving local and international specialities spread
across the festival grounds. Games attractions,
confectionery booths and sales stalls rounded off
the cornucopia of fairground attractions. ■

Eye catcher:
the small barn area
At the Aachen Osterbend, Frank Roos presented
his extended gastronomic operation. His showman
colleague, Hansi Grass, had built two different
trailers to be integrated into the beer garden. Both
trailers are unfolded and provide wooden seats, and
are equipped with large roofs so that they can be
used the whole year round. While one of the trailers
has a transparent roof, providing a view to the sky,
the roof of the other is opaque. Both trailers have
been tastefully decorated and equipped with romantic
lights. The beer and experience garden can
be built up with a timbered floor to almost unlimited
dimensions. A special eye-catcher is the small 'barn'
section, boasting many animal figures, which was
particularly fascinating for the younger guests. In
addition to a large bar, the gastro section can also
be equipped with a large swing grill and facilities for
preparing fry-up dishes. The rustic style experience
gastronomic operation is to be equipped with further
decoration elements during the year to make it even
cosier.

The lovingly designed 'experience' gastronomic
operation from the Bruno Dreßen family has been
cleverly extended by three rustic-styled pergolas
made of solid wood, each of them offering cosy
places for eight people to relax together and eat and
drink. The pergolas with small windows and pretty
curtains are oases for resting and chilling out, and
can be used at events of all kinds all year round. This
gastronomic operation of the Bruno Dreßen family is
yet to be extended by further pergolas from the Pfaff
firm.

International Exchange about Educational Work in Berlin
ceived and welcomed by the showmen, in Ham in
France unfortunately there were no groups available
that were large enough to take part.
The participants agreed that continued exchange
and the coordinated action over the national borders
would in the long run improve the educational
possibilities for travelling children and youth in
Europe. The Ett Edu-Project is an important step in
the right direction.
Participants of the Ett Edu-meeting in front of the Reichstag in Berlin.
Education means future. Those who have a
good education have a better chance in life.
For this reason it's important that the framework
conditions in the area of education continue
to be developed and improved for the
showman profession in Europe. From the 5 th
to 8 th May 2013, members of the European
educational project "Ett Edu" met in Berlin for
a working session.
In Germany the school project BeKoSch (Professional
competence for showmen), has been a success
model for many years. It offers the travelling youth
the possibility to absolve their compulsory education
during the winter months. In France and England
young showmen may well profit from the positive
experience of their young German colleagues.
In 2011 the European Commission furthered "Ett
Edu" project (European Transfer of Travellers Vocational
Education) was founded. The task of the project
is the development of a European concept for
the professional training of travelling youth. Within
these frames there are already concrete offers such
as the German BeKoSch-courses, so constructed

Fireworks display
at the Bremen Freimarkt
For decades, fireworks displays
– be they brilliant, highaltitude,
accompanied by
music, baroque or groundlevel
– have been a fixture at
fair and Volksfest events, always
attracting masses of
visitors, staged as an opening
attraction or as the finale
of an event. However, hardly
any visitor is aware of the
preparation and effort required
to conjure up such as
a spectacle as, for example, a
20-minute fireworks display
with rockets, motif bombs,
golden cascades and star
bouquets soaring up into the
sky. In October 2012, the
Kirmes & Park Revue observed
and documented the
preparations for the opening
fireworks display for the Bremen
Freimarkt, learning
many details on this subject
from the organizer of this display,
the Goslar Schneider
Pyrotechnik firm, which has
in the meanwhile celebrated
its 60 th company anniversary,
and has presented fireworks
displays at the Bremen
Freimarkt for 18 years.

team from the

and marked the sites
for the 15 launch battery
groups, and then
unloaded the launch scaffoldings, and deployed
them across the site. At the same time, a number
of staff members began to assemble and line
up the launch batteries. The next stage is the 'job
for the boss'; that is, filling the launch tubes with
bombs according to the precise plan, and
dropping the bombs into the launch tubes. The
charging of the batteries is followed by another,
quite complex stage; that is, wiring the launch
batteries to the so-called "pre-firing chain”. In
addition to the 15 launch batteries, there were
also three launch blocks, each wired to a firing
box for electrical ignition, as well as a large, separate
launch tube for a so-called grid bomb for
the final effect. This was buried a good one
metre deep into the ground. The build up lasting
a good six hours was finished off with the wiring
up of the different batteries and blocks with the
electrical firing cables, connecting them to a
central firing stand, and covering them with

Authority assured themselves of the proper

displays, as well as examining the launch
material used. Naturally, the firing site was
guarded by the staff up until the fireworks display
at 9:45 p.m., and they also put up further
barriers in the Bürgerpark. Moreover, the Schneider
firm engages additional security personnel
to supervise the densely wooded area around
the firing site. Finally after some 13 hours of a
gruelling workload, the big moment had arrived:
in very mild temperatures a fireworks display of
some 20 minutes duration was conjured up in the
skies above the Bremen Bürgerweide.

KIDDIE RIDES
ROGGELIN KINDERTRAUM
Hartmut Roggelin from Bad
Doberan in the Rostock administrative
area, tours a
number of concession stalls
and – quite remarkably a – 62-
year-old kiddie carousel that
he took over from his father
in 2007.
Text & Photos:
Kai Morawetz
Hartmut Roggelin
According to the ride book, the 15-part kiddie ride
with a 12-section roof structure was technically
inspected for the first time by the Groß-Berlin magistracy
on 17 th April 1951. First owner was the showman
Egon Moskeit from Berlin, who probably also
built the carousel, as the ride book does not mention
any manufacturer. Way back then, the ride was 5.5
metres in diameter and 3.50 metres high. In 1978,
Fritz Roggelin, Hartmut Roggelin’s father, took over
the kiddie ride and repeatedly rebuilt it throughout the
following years. Around the mid-1990s, both the diameter
and the roofing were extended. After that, the
base and the light grids were newly constructed from
metal, and the track was rebuilt from high-quality
steel just 11 years ago. Shortly after
Hartmut Roggelin had taken over the
ride, the entire base was galvanized,
and two years ago the roofing was renewed
altogether. At the same time
many individual parts and the vehicles
were also newly painted. In addition,
the first warm-tone LEDs were installed
in the centre of the ride. Moreover, the
so far nameless kiddie carousel was
dubbed "Kindertraum”, and shortly after
the interior panelling of a small, oneaxle
paybox wagon – purchased second-hand
– was renewed, and the wagon
freshly painted. The old paybox
was put into storage, and can still be used for
nostalgic events. The mounts of the ride are a colourful
mixture of vehicles from many manufacturers, supplemented
by a number of self-made examples. In
1990, a new tractor and a fire engine were added,
and the old fire engine was redesigned into a vehicle
in the ADAC German Motoring Club livery. In 1992,
Hartmut Roggelin was able to purchase two secondhand
motorbikes from the Lutz firm. As the engines
were missing, fake Simson S 51 engines were installed.
For adults who wish to accompany their children
as they ride the "Ostsee-Bus”, an accompanying
chaise is available for this purpose. Apart from the
rocket, the police car has proven especially popular
with the children. The replaced vehicles, such as the
tram and various cars, were put into storage and are
ready for use at any time. Due to its light-frame construction,
the ride can also be assembled in only one
day, and therefore it can also be encountered at
kindergarten festivals every now and then. Hartmut
Roggelin presents the kiddie ride mainly at Volksfest
events in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and has
also appeared at nostalgic markets in Schleswig-Holstein
and Hamburg. The "Kindertraum” is 8 metres in
diameter, 4.50 metres high and has 15 arms, and electrical
requirements of 8 kW. To this day, the rotational
speed of the more than 100-year-old slip ring Siemens
motor is reliably controlled by a salt water starter.

In the meanwhile the park’s backwards riding

indoor coaster, presumably to make the backwards

park.

In May, what was the world’s first B&M inverted
coaster, “Batman The Ride” at Six Flags Great
America, near Chicago, will re-open with the
trains completely turned around so that all riders
can experience the 21 year old coaster in an all
new way. The Batman coaster has a reputation for
being intense so, based on “The Swarm”, riding
it backwards could be a step too far for some.
Unlike “The Swarm”, Batman’s backwards riding
will only last for a limited time, likely to just be the
summer.

In the meanwhile
in Japanese Universal Studios, the Hyper coaster
“Hollywood Dream: The Ride” from B&M has

The 44 metre tall coaster that opened in 2007,
also features a new choice of on board music from
Japanese pop band SMAP. The new ride experience
seems to be much less nauseating, perhaps
due to the lack of inversions, with riders finding
the moments of negative g force particularly
fun when riding backwards.

The idea of turning trains around for one or more
years is not new. Particularly in the case of
classic Racing Wooden Coasters, this step to increase
popularity has been common practice for
decades. Whether this
current example will
be followed by other
parks, or whether this
is an experiment by
B&M to see how well
backwards riding is
received by the public
as a pilot for future
concepts, remains to
be seen. But one
thing’s for certain, the
relatively simple idea
has given existing
coasters a new thrill,
and the parks marketing
departments something
new to shout
about for little new
investment. ■

The new main attraction
at “The Magic Valley” is a
Rapid Ride from Hafema
Water Rides GmbH
Many people think about David
Copperfield or Siegfried & Roy
rather than theme parks when
the subject magic comes up.
However at Toverland, situated
near the German-Dutch border
in Sevenum, something magical
has been going on for twelve
years now: the change from an
indoor playground into a recreational
destination that instead of
offering a rabbit has pulled a
mobile surprise out of its hat!
De Magische Vallei

Marc Spies

Toverland’s General Manager
Caroline Maessen is without
a doubt proud of the new
area and its new attractions
Since the opening of the GCI wooden coaster
“Troy” in 2007 – which by the way still belongs
among the crème de la crème in Europe, and was
for example honoured by a European Star Award
prize – it became rather still at Toverland as far as
large ride constructions were concerned, however
plans here and there of potential attractions
were never discarded, but rather landed (initially?)
into the drawers of owner Jean Gelissen and
park director Caroline Maessen. Instead and in
the meantime, the entrance area of Toverland was
redesigned, a hall was thoroughly renovated, the
gastronomy extended, and a shop rebuilt. Nevertheless
it was foreseeable that ambitious Toverland
would also invest heavily in the future.
Magic Dwarfs
And so it came about at the end of September
2012 that the Spinning Coaster “d’wervelwind”
from Mack Rides (see KPR 12/2012) was the first
attraction to open on a four hectare extension
area, as the fourth coaster of the park. However
it was first in April 2013 that “The Magic Valley”
opened officially, and only a few weeks later the
“Djengu Rivers”, the second main attraction of the
new outside area, was released to the public.
The basic facts about the new theme land are
impressive: eight new attractions, 2.8 million kilos
of stone, over 60,000 plants, a park own soundtrack,
umpteen waterfalls, and a total investment
62

amount of some 14 million Euro. Even more
impressive is that the theming came from the park
itself, based on the homespun legend of Dwervel,
and recreated for Toverland by artist Peter van
Holsteijn. The Dwervels, a folk of small dwarfs who
have magic powers, have settled in the magic
valley and create a sensation – to the amusement
of visitors and naturally also the operator. The
theme area offers a similar landscaping as already
seen at “Troy” with many rocks, water and
plants.
Water March
More or less hidden but present all the time is the
Rapid River “Djengu River” from Hafema Water
Ride Systems. Due to the clever covering of the
course with natural stones as well as a complete
theming of the station building, the track course
is initially not visible from outside. This causes the
feeling that during at least the very first ride, the
460 metre track appears to be extremely long,
and in some cases is not recommended for those
with sensitive stomachs. The ten round boats
accommodating up to nine passengers go
through enormously fast rotations in some parts,
whilst passing waterfalls and fountains for 240
seconds. The passenger loading is somewhat
more sedate as the boats travel along a slowly
running belt. However “Djengu River” has sufficient
capacity of over 900 passengers per hour,
and offers wet and happy ride fun for the whole
family, without completely soaking the guests.
More New Attractions
The water element is omnipresent all over the
Magic Valley: no less than three of the other
attractions have a connection to water: Metallbau
Emmeln delivered “Tolly Molly”, a particularly
lovingly designed variation of the classic duck
ride, where instead of disdainful ducks there are
mystical water creatures that transport up to 24
passengers.
Visitors can be more active on the other hand on
the “Kid’s Survival” trail, where naturally it’s less
about life and death, but more about keeping the
feet dry on the course. The 12 elements stem from
VelopA Omniplay.
As powerful and wet as it
should be on a real Rapid Ride
The track course and the
lift of the “Djengu River” are
well bedded into the theming
63

This water attraction
comes from Metallbau Emmeln
The designs in the new
theme area are harmonious
For those for whom it’s far too strenuous there is
the new fountain show “Katara, Fountain of
Magic” to enjoy. 136 illuminated water fountains
supported by an orchestral soundtrack present a
successful show with lots of spraying water. If this
is too wet for visitors, the show can also be viewed
from the new restaurant opposite. And if it’s too
dry for some, they in turn can try their luck on the
Splash-Insel (Splash Island): there’s a certain
amount of luck and skill required to arrive in a dry
state. The show was manufactured by the
GHESA Fuentes firm.
Not quite as high as the up to 15 metre fountains
but not rooted in the soil either, is the cable
control tower “Coco Bolo” from Heege, which is
also beautifully designed. A newly hatched bird
moves ceaselessly on the tip of the tower, whilst
visitors are spending energy on the cable. And
those who still have enough power after tower
climbing can live it up on a large climbing castle
from Eibe, or a large trampoline.
Quo vadis?
Toverland has done everything right with its extension
around Magic Valley. Added to the main
target group of families with children, the attractions
“d’wervelwind” and “Djengu River” are suit-
64

able for an even broader public. And this is
exactly the aim of owner Jean Gelissen. “With a
wider range of attractions for the whole family and
top class theming, we are increasing the status of
the park considerably. We are convinced that the
Netherlanders, Belgians and the Germans within
a distance of 100 kilometres will find their way to
us”. Toverland expects in the short term an
increase in visitor numbers of around 20% in
comparison to 2012, which means a growth of
100,000; in the medium term, one million visitors
are expected to respond. It is hoped to win more
visitors from the Nord-Rhine Westphalia area as
well.
The most exciting question still remains
however: what sort of magic will
Toverland pull out of the hat next? One thing that
is certain is that entrance into “De Magische
Valley” is to be made possible also from the theme
A climbing castle from
Eibe and a cable tower from
Heege have also been erected
area “Troja”, which until now was only through the
second hall. In the near future, according to Jean
Gelissen in an interview, there is also to be an
additional large coaster at the park.
Furthermore there are existing and concrete
plans for a theme hotel. What will actually be
realised and what will land in the drawer remains
to be seen – but it’s pretty certain that it won’t be
a rabbit! ■ The theme area “The

Attractiepark Slagharen in the
Netherlands is celebrating its
50th anniversary with four new
attractions. Following the takeover
of the family park by the
Spanish Parques Reunidos last
year, the first rebuilding work
has taken place this season.

Olaf Esser
“Fogg’s Trouble”
unfortunately has no design
at all
The currently new named Slagharen Theme Park
& Resort had already opened in 1963 as the
Ponypark Slagharen, and it was operated by the
Bemboom family for 49 years. As time went on the
park became larger, and already the 1960s and
1970s saw classic rides of these days come into
being, such as the “Ocean of Darkness” the huge
chain ride “Apollo”, and the “Looping Star Thunder
Loop” – all those and other rides from legendary
Schwarzkopf factory.
On the 1 st May 2013, the area “Jules Verne Adventureland”
was opened, where there are now four
new attractions. Unfortunately old and well preserved
attractions had to make way, for example
the unique Darkride “Ocean of Darkness”, in which
ride guests in globe-shaped gondolas passed fish,
octopi, mermaids, and other ocean inhabitants. Another
ride construction, the old “Enterprise” from
Schwarzkopf on the other hand was retained, and
has been integrated a little into the new area.
66

The new Top Act among the four novelties is without
a doubt the “Expedition Nautilus” from Mack
Rides, a successful combination of a “Splash
Battle” and a Teacup Ride, called by the German
manufacturer just what it is: “Twist ‘n’ Splash”. Both
are very successful attractions that can be found in
many parks all over the world. So it’s no wonder that
the combination of the rides is also enthralling.
Following the entry into one of the new round boats,
54 adventurers take off on a wet and fun round trip.
As is also the case on a Splash Battle or similar ride,
there is also a lot of water spraying here, by rotating
the water cannons. This can also be a wet
experience for the viewers, as the cannons reach a
considerable range. But there are also cannons on
the outside that can spray water. The fun is seen on
the faces of both the younger guests and adults,
and great weather here is naturally an advantage.
In the event of bad weather or for the water-shy
there is a small shop that sells ponchos for an Euro
a piece. Alternatively there is also – as known from
other parks – a huge walk-in dryer.
The second novelty is also a kind of interactive, in
the form of bicycles in the air, with visitors reaching
the highest point by pedalling. This attraction has
also been designed for both children and parents,
supported by the extra adjustable seats, so children
have no problems in reaching the pedals and
participating.
Unfortunately the passenger loading takes somewhat
longer in this case, and the design is a little
sparse as well. “Magic Bikes” is surrounded by a
fence and is located on the edge of the park near
an old building. The Italian manufacturer Zamperla
offers various sizes for this attraction, this particular
version having eight gondolas.
The attraction “Fogg’s Trouble” is also from Zamperla.
This is a “Rockin’ Tug” with a capacity of 24
passengers, where eight adults are also allowed on
board. The location and design here is also lifeless
however. The gondola swings in the form of a boat,
rotating on the track here and there. There is no
water, not even on the decoration, only a few leftovers
from the Darkride “Ocean of Darkness” have
been used as decoration elements. The maritime
boat design is also shown less to its advantage.
The fourth novelty is once again a highlight for the
smaller guests; the “Passepartout Explorer” is partly
roofed over and has a large outer area. Here, the
children initially participate in theory instruction for
their driver’s licence and are then allowed onto the
street, after which they drive past their parents

The main attraction in the
new theme area “Jules Verne

Those who are too wet
from the water attraction can
become dry again in the walk-in
dryer from Haysteck
proudly in their electric cars on a very nicely
designed course. There are also road signs and
even a set of traffic lights on the course. Maybe
some of the drivers will remember their first driving
lessen in Slagharen in their later years when learning
to drive. The manufacturer of the electric cars
is once again Zamperla.
Although the new “Jules Verne Adventureland”
can’t be recognised as a completely new theme
area, the four novelties are all well integrated into
the park, and the mixture of old traditional and new
rides can be felt. Unfortunately the choice of the
attractions is not all that unusual. In the course of
the restructuring of other European parks and the
ever increasing number of indoor parks, one sees
these family rides very often, and the individuality
is lost in the process.
Slagharen lives for the better part from its many
bungalow and camping guests. As a result there
are many families that spend their leisure time here.
The park is ideal for this, as it offers much variety.
There are not many large ride attractions, and these
few are ageing.
And in actual fact mega-attractions don’t fit into the
concept at all. And the new owner Parques Reunidos
is hardly likely to change the situation, so it
can be safely presumed that this tradition will continue
in the upcoming years.

Discovery Centre
When in 1996 Europe’s largest
shopping centre, the CentrO,
opened in Oberhausen, a small
park with a number of offers for
children saw the light of day for
the first time. This “park for strollers”
was thought up to serve as
a diversion and recreational area
near the actual shopping centre
and gastronomy line.

The new water attraction
“Pinguine! Abenteuer Antarktis”
comes from abc rides
In those days the park was maintained by the
CentrO.-Betreibergesellschaft, however the company
very soon wanted to concentrate completely
on the business and gastronomy area, and searched
for the relevant new operator for the park. In
2001 showman Oskar Bruch Junior took over the
helm. He entered into a lease agreement and rebuilt
the park into a real amusement park, in that he
installed a number of ride constructions at CentrO
Park.
For ten years he attempted to make the park into a
profitable business. All the same very soon it was
obvious that it would be a difficult undertaking to
establish a typical all-day amusement park, next to
a shopping mall, as in principle visitors were not
travelling to the “Neue Mitte Oberhausen” to visit a
middle sized amusement park, but because of a
shopping experience. With that, a complete day
price for an amusement park visit didn’t come into
question – besides that offers for day trips in the
Ruhr district – among them Movie Park Germany
were substantially more attractive. Oskar Bruch
terminated the lease at the end of 2010 for all these
reasons.
70

When the Sea Life Centre opened in 2004, it was
exactly the right combination in harmony with
visitors to a shopping mile: the aquarium offered a
relatively entertaining experience, which could be
very well combined with a visit to a shopping mall.
With this Sea Life Centre, the worldwide Merlin
Entertainments Group provided the first destination
in the Ruhr area; four years later a second mainstay
came into being in Duisburg, the world’s first
Legoland Discovery Centre.
Whilst during the last two years there was no
amusement park at CentrO any more, in 2012 the
announcement came that together with Merlin
Entertainments, a new user of the area had been
found. Besides the discussions about the takeover
of the park, talks in relation to the further use of the
remaining ride constructions and attractions were
not successful, so Oskar Bruch Junior dismantled
the ride constructions – with the exception of the
available tractor attraction and the park’s railway
from Metallbau Emmeln – and could partly sell them
to Scandinavia. During the past year the Merlin
Entertainments Group announced the extension of
the shopping mall Sea Life Centre into the Sea Life
Abenteuer Park, and to relocate the Lego Discovery
Centre from Duisburg to Oberhausen for around 15
million Euro.
A new building came into being directly on the
earlier entrance to the previous CentrO, which is the
entrance to the Sea Life Abenteuer Park, and
simultaneously harbours the Lego Discovery
Centre – and as new indoor attraction there is to be
a “Magic Bike” from Zamperla added this year.
The Sea Life Centre by the way remained on its old
location and with that has no direct connection to
the new park. All the same, the entrance fee to the
Sea Life Centre also includes a visit to neighbouring
parks and there are also kombi-tickets to enable
visitors to enjoy all three attractions. And so a resort
came into being with three different recreational
possibilities, leading to a lot of synergy effects in
marketing and operation.
At the new Adventure Park a new and large main
attraction has come into being, combining a ride
with an animal experience. This classic water ride
from abc rides is located directly near the new
entrance area, in order to be an “eye catcher” for
guests at the gastronomy area.
The water attraction is 250
metres long, 14 metres high
and has a capacity of
685 passengers per hour
(with the use of 8 boats with
maximum persons each)
Also constructively interesting:
the water attraction only
requires one main support

Manager Lego Discovery Centre
Oberhausen) and Jörg Meyer
(Park Operations Supervisor
Sea Life Abenteuer Park)
Right next door a new home has been erected for
15 Gentoo penguins: an Antarctic world with large
visible pools for the animals that not only offer a
themed experience for children and adults, but a
water ride also travels through a part of the new
animal habitat. Something extra special here is that
the water canal leads through a glass tunnel under
the penguin pool, offering a completely different
perspective.
Naturally the whole attraction is supported by a nice
story: the attraction prepares the park guests for an
Antarctic expedition. In the so-called “Briefing
Station” they are primed up for the cold and wind,
to then plunge for a short period into the Antarctic
or rather the penguin enclosure. The whole thing is
underlined by fitting decoration and sound effects.
At the end naturally a typical drop is waiting – very
considerately located directly at the gastronomy
line – and prepares the ride guests for a nice piece
of adrenalin. “Pinguine! Abenteuer Antarktis” is a
special experience that one is used to from Merlin,
and the combination of ride attraction with animals
is very successful.
There are two other ride attractions in the rest of the
park area. The earlier existing tractor ride has
received the name “Jeep Safari”, and has been
equipped with the corresponding jeeps. The technology
has been improved in order to increase the
speed. And there is the “Shanghai Express” travelling
around the Chinese slide tower, without any
really notable changes. Additionally the playgrounds,
the hedge labyrinth, the trampoline and
the gastronomy buildings have been retained as
they were during the time of CentrO. Park. The landscape
garden architecture has naturally not been
changed, as the area has grown beautifully in the
meantime, and offers a special note of relaxation.
There is a so-called master plan for Life Abenteuer
Park for up to 2017, containing further investment.
New attractions are being considered that always
have a connection to the animal world, and various
continents as theme worlds. A closer choice will be
crocodiles and a small type of hippopotamus,
which apparently will be linked to a track attraction
similar to a coaster. All this depends on just how
successful this new concept will be. The past has
72

shown just how quickly the Ruhr region can
condemn a project: visitors are drawn to the new
park, naturally also by the new location of the
Legoland Discovery Centre; on the other hand
many already know the Sea Life Centre that has already
existed for years. Visitors have access to the
park in combination with the centre, which doesn’t
have all that much new on offer in order to market
it as an individual product. Those visitors who only
wish to use the park, which in principle comprises
only of the new water attraction, will be disappointed.
The grapevine in the populous Ruhr area functions
excellently and has already managed to bag
Warner Bros. Movie World that had opened early,
and which was at that time actually an excellent
park. And the Ruhr prattlers hardly ever forgive.
Even these days, the park has the reputation that
not all attractions have been opened and are only
half finished, just as it had been presented in the
first months after opening. So something could may
well happen to the new attraction at Oberhausen, if
it’s not immediately obvious that it’s an extension to
the Sea Life Centre.
Nevertheless the earlier Centro Park has found a
good partner in the Merlin Entertainments Group,
and one can wait eagerly to see which direction the
future will take – also and particularly because the
Zoom-Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen as well as the
Duisburg Zoo are hard competitors in the Ruhr area
in the matter of animal presentation, and could
stand in the way.

Nature has conquered a
large part of the park – a very

WATERPARK
The deep and steep
drop may well become the
trademark of the
“AdrenaLIM Blaster”
Xocomil with an area of almost
8 hectares is the largest and
most visited water park in Guatemala.
It is a part of the Xetulul
Theme Park Resorts, and is
located directly next to the
largest theme park in the country.
And only a few months ago
it received the new “AdrenaLIM
Blaster” from WhiteWater.

he so-called “Uphill Water Coaster” is enjoying
Tincreased popularity, transporting by way of
the attractive ride dynamic of a coaster course on
a water slide: namely by providing not only descents
but also ascents. The world’s first slide of
this type was developed by NBGS in 1994 for its
own water park Schlitterbahn in Texas. In 2006, the
Canadian water slide manufacturer Whitewater
West, known these days as WhiteWater, took over
the patent, and since then has been selling worldwide
under the label “Master Blaster”. Powerful
water jets provide for sliders being vigorously
“washed to the top” on every type of ascent, which
is quite a lively and fun experience.
The slide course is hardly
visible from outside
The start height of 17
metres has to be reached by
visitor’s own power, before the
speedy slide fun
74

In the meanwhile competitor company ProSlide
developed an uphill-slide with linear induction
motors, and the appertaining magnetic rafts.
Although the ascents on these “HydroMagnetics”
named slides are substantially drier, they are however
a lot more powerful. The first slide of this type
opened in 2005 at the American Six Flags New
England Park.
WhiteWater has now its own LIM-variation in its
portfolio, and has erected its first so called
“AdrenaLIM Blaster” at the Central American
water park Xocomil.
Following a start height of 17 metres, it all about
ascents and descents. Altogether the rafts catapult
to the top six times per LIM, blasting riders uphill
with the use of a magnet on the waterslide floor
and a metal plate on the bottom of the inline
inflatable boat.
As a surprise, the deepest drop is located at the
end of the 307 metre long water slide, where 2-
person, 3-person and 4-person inline inflatable
boats are allowed. The maximum speed is 46 kilometres
per hour (13 m/s), and the construction’s
capacity is 480 persons per hour.
The new “Uphill Water
Coaster” at Xocomil has a very
interesting track course
The lush vegetation in
particular gives the water park
an atmospheric and consistent
overall picture
75

The “Family Raft Ride”
and the “SuperBowl” from
WhiteWater
The water park that was erected in 1997 around
an artificial Maya pyramid already has a Multi-
Lane Mat-Racer”, a “Boomerango”, a “Super-
Bowl”, and a “Double Wave Pool” from White-
Water. New to be added this year are two
“AquaLoops”. However, the operator also has water
slides from other firms in the programme, for
example a very well themed Lazy River and three
large water playgrounds from aquakita.
The operator of the leisure resort in San Martín
Zapotitlán is the public welfare organisation IRTRA
(instituto de recreacion de los trabajadores de la
empresa privada de Guatemala), which also
operates other amusement parks, water parks,
and hotels in the country. All members and their
families enjoy free admittance; all others have to
pay 100 Quetzal (almost 10 Euro); children may
enter at half price.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ORLANDO
It has been obvious for quite
some time that the extremely
successful theme area “The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter”
that opened in 2010, is to be
extended. And details have now
been revealed.
Text:
Frank Lanfer
Photos: Universal Studios,
Google Earth
In addition to the imposing magic castle “Hogwarts”
and the village belonging to it called “Hogsmeade”,
there will also be the well known “Daigon
Alley and “London” joining them out of the well
known films and novels, from 2014 on.
The marketing strategy in the process: the extension
of the theme land will not take place at Universal
Islands Of Adventure, but at the neighbouring
theme park Universal Studios Florida. Although
there will be a connection between these two
magical locations with the “Hogwarts Express” with
which the guests can travel in proper style from
park to park, however to experience the complete
Harry-Potter-World, all train passengers must be
the owner of an expensive Two-Park-Ticket, or
alternatively the so-called Park-Hopper-Ticket.
With the huge success with “The Wizarding World
of Harry Potter” Islands Of Adventure could show
an visitor increase of over 20% despite the crucial
times, and so the second park is to be extended. If
one wishes to view it so – a reverse step of a theme
park concept: not more themes in one park, but a
theme in two parks! The question as to whether or
not there is only one license fee to pay to Warner
Bros., still remains unanswered.
The “Hogwarts Express” travels – as in the film –
between “Hogsmeade” and “London”. Although
both end stations have been designed in detail, the
ride itself takes place over a supported track bed.
Three trains travel along this course, which have
windows without a view to the real backstage area
in order not to disturb the illusion, and instead a
“real” ride between “Hogsmeade” and “London”
and reverse, is played on monitors. A total of six
different films, for example, day and night travel,
have already been produced.
78

In the new park area there will be, in addition to the
many shops and restaurants that Harry Potter fans
already know from the films and novels, a new ride
construction as well: “Gringotts Coaster” leans
thematically towards the magic bank of the same
name. The darkride and coaster attraction harbours
an Indoor-Highspeed-Coaster, which will delve
deep down into the bank and dragons will be bound
to be encountered.
Unfortunately with the erection of the Harry-Potter
area at Universal Studios, a milestone of the park
and Studio will disappear in equal measure, as the
new theme area comes into being on the area of the
“Jaws” attraction. The axed boat tour was located
between “Earthquake – The Big One” and the auditorium
“Fear Factor Live” or alternatively between
the area “San Francisco / Amity” and the “World
Expo”.

THEME PARK & RESORT WORLD ASIA CONGRESS 2013
Conference organiser Oppland
is for the second time coordinating
the Theme Park & Resorts
World Asia Congress in Shanghai,
taking place on the 12 th and
13 th of September 2013. The
event is aimed mainly at the
countless real estate developers
who are active all over the
People’s Republic, and who –
quite regularly due to taxation
reasons – also are involved in
theme parks.

One of last year’s
speakers was Zeren Dai (Vice
President China Dinosaurland)
On the speaker list from last year when the
congress first took place, representatives of
theme park operators were for example Zeren Dai
from China Dinosaurland, Makoto Sato from the
theme park sector of the “Hello Kitty”-firm Sanrio,
and Miikka Seppälä from the Finnish theme park
Särkänniemi, who was obviously invited by Rovio
China in order to speak about his success with the
Angry Birds-brand. In addition to these practical
persons from the branch there were mainly representatives
of design firms such as Forrec, the
Sanderson Group, or licensors such as Paramount
or Rovio, who explained in their talks about the
planning of theme parks and the potential of licensing
contracts in example projects.
This year, the congress will take place in Shanghai
once again, however at the new location at the Le
Meridien SheShan in the large city. Speakers have
been announced as, amongst others, Andrew Bolstein
from Disney Resort in Shanghai, Barry Cox
from Merlin Entertainments, Junyang Lei from
Happy Valley Shanghai and Jian Li von OCT Vision
. All will be talking about their experiences in the
operation of theme parks and amusement facilities
in Asia.
A few stands will be available for rent in the foyer of
the conference hall, available to sponsors of the
event to present their products and services.
The event is not the only one of its kind though:
another, the Theme Park and Resort Expansion
Summit, has already taken place for the third time
in April this year. This conference also takes place
in Shanghai, and the agenda has similar themes.
Just how many of these types of events can be
carried by the Chinese market in the future, remains
to be seen. In principle there is a demand,
particularly the IAAPA Asian Attractions Expo with
its extensive conference programme, which however
has avoided Shanghai as event location, with
the exception of the year 2006. IAAPA has a
traditional preference for Hong Kong.

FORT FUN
Photos: Fort Fun
The Fort Fun Abenteuerland located in the depths
of the Sauerland has a new ride construction since
the 9 th May, which is operated under the witty word
play name of “YuKan Raft”.
Nevertheless: it’s not completely new, as although
generally overhauled and newly painted, it is a
showan attraction which family Plaenert was on tour
earlier. This is a “Top Spin 2” from Huss Rides, in
other words a small 28-seat version
of the well known “Top Spin” family.
The “YuKan Raft” has been placed
on the location of the Swing Boat
“Pirat” from Huss, which had provided
a lot of fun at the park until
2011. The new ride construction
looks very attractive, integrated into
the hilly landscape of Fort Fun

CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURES
After several years of improving
and expanding the animal habitats
at “Chessington World of
Adventures”, the park has now
merged ride with animal exhibit
for the first time. “Zufari: Ride
into Africa” gives guests the
chance to experience a safari
adventure, coming face to face
with zebras, rhinos, giraffes and
ostriches.
Text & Photos: Marcus Gaines
The ride takes up the area of land behind the
Wanayama section of the park, which opened
in 2010, producing the African area of the park. It
seems apparent that “Zufari” was in the pipeline
right from the inception of Wanayama.
The ride begins with an interactive pre-show
during which research leader Chase Van-Drive
explains that they discovered a new area of Africa
which they’ve named “Zufari”. Chase asks guests
to go on an expedition to log the animals found
there. A friendly lemur called Gozi takes over to
explain more. Courtesy of the latest technology,
and a witty cast member hidden from view, Gozi
interacts directly with guests asking questions
and telling jokes.
Upon exiting the pre-show, adventurers board
one of the 6 ex-army Leyland Daf trucks. The extensively
themed trucks do not run on rails, although
they do follow a well used path.
The first port of call is a splash down into a small
river to see flamingos, which sadly are difficult to
spot beyond the indiscreet electric fence. Travelling
past mysterious rock drawings, and an
animal house that could do with a bit more themeing
to make it less obvious, riders get their first
view of the savannah and its inhabitants.
Guests can enjoy great views of giraffes, zebras
plus a number of ostriches – if only the fences and
animal shelters could have been blended into the
landscape more subtly.
Then it’s time to search for the biggest and most
impressive inhabitants: “Zufari” is home to three
white rhino and from the trucks one has great
views of the animals. But uh oh, the rhino appear
to have knocked down a tree blocking the path.
And it appears as though the only way out is
through the cave that visitors were told to avoid
during the pre-show.
82

Given the nature of the ride it’s inevitable it’ll be
compared with “Rhino Rally” at “Busch Gardens
Tampa”, and “Kilimanjaro Safari” at “Disney’s
Animal Kingdom”, and the short answer is, it’s not
as big or as impressive. “Zufari” is considerably
shorter, has far fewer and less variety of animals,
and the cave finale is rather disappointing. But for
those who’ve not been to Florida and for kids, the
very target audience of
the park, it’s truly
exciting.
Kids genuinely believe
they are going on a real
safari and being able to
get so close to the animals,
is an experience
they won’t forget. A
major advantage of
“Zufari” being on a
smaller ground area, is
that one can get seemingly
a lot closer to
animals than in Florida.
Wheelchair users and
those under 110 centimetres,
are unable to
take part in the ride,
however almost all
animals are visible from
any of the viewing
areas.
“Zufari” is great fun and
is unlike anything the
less well travelled will
have seen, and for
those concerned, the ride is aimed
to be an exciting adventure.
Maybe in time more varieties of
animals can be added, and the
cave be made more scary – or
even better, it could be dropped
completely.

OAKWOOD
The British Oakwood Theme
Park has announced that its new
£4 million family area of the park
will be called “Neverland”, and
themed on Peter Pan.
Text:
Marcus Gaines
Photos: Oakwood Theme Park
The rides all take inspiration from the book
written by J M Barrie, and there will be a “Skull
Rock” log flume, “Captain Hooks House of
Havoc” soft play, “Lost Boys Adventure”, “Crocodile
Coaster”, “Tink’s Flying School”, “Jolly Roger”
mini galleon, “Neverland Chase”, and “Sights of
London Taxi Ride”. All park guests will be able to
enter the new themed area through an interactive
Walkthrough called “Journey to Neverland”. The
experience takes visitors on the journey from the
Darling house, flying over London, before arriving
at “Neverland”.
Many of the rides were purchased from the
Camelot theme park that closed at the end of the
2012 season.
All the rides have been substantially re-themed to
shed the knight and medieval look, and to fit to
either “Neverland” or London, where Peter Pan
befriends Wendy, John, and Michael Darling.
The log flume has become unrecognisable from
its “Camelot” days, as it now has a pirate themed
darkride portion and a climax with a splash down
as it comes out of an eye of the large 12 metres
high “Skull Rock”.

English theming specialist Nick Farmer took the
situation into hand, and once again produced
his usual successful work. The newly opened
“Kyöpelinvuoren Hotelli” on the 27th of April doesn’t
look particularly inviting to overnight
guests from the outside. Inside there are no
beds awaiting the supposed guests, but 4-
seat cars instead. These are equipped with
lots of special effects such as air blows,
vibrations, and passengers being touched
on the back. Two long minutes of thrill are
guaranteed during the 100 m ride into the
unknown with new scenes – however,
everything is ‘only just’ family friendly, as
fitting to a family park. After all, park guests
with a minimum height of 100 cm are already allowed
to participate (accompanied by an adult).
Manufacturer of the new ride attraction is the Italian
Darkride specialist Gosetto.
■
84

Not all the rides are from Camelot, “Tink’s Flying
School” had already existed at the park,
the Larson Flying Scooters were called “Plane
Crazy” and were themed as aeroplanes at an
airport, but now it’s been repainted green,
complete with Tinkerbell standing in the centre
overlooking riders. And it’s not just the rides that
have been themed, as the entire 3 acre area of
the park has been landscaped with appropriate
theming so as to create an immersive area,
essential when creating a branded area within a
park. Director of Oakwood, Dominic Jones, said;
“What better inspiration for a theme park could
there be than Peter Pan – ‘the boy who
would not grow up’? This is by far the
biggest investment at Oakwood in
recent times, and it will completely
transform and add significantly to the
visitor experience.”
“Neverland” is expected to open at the
end of May.

BARRA MALL
An unusual attraction has just opened in the
Barra shopping mall complex in Rio de Janeiro,
which is operated by the Brazilian company
Multiplan.
The facade, which is more or
less a copy of a travelling Ghost
Ride in Europe, contains a
combination of two ride constructions:
on the upper level a
Darkride with 2-seat cars, and
on the ground level of the
attraction a mini-dodgem. The “2-in-1”
construction was realized by Italian
company Gosetto.

Die Stadt Neunkirchen (Saar), der Verkehrsverein und die DPD GbR haben in
den vergangenen Jahren mit einem neuen Konzept den Grundstein für einen neuen,
einzigartigen Weihnachtsmarkt in der Mitte der Innenstadt Neunkirchen gelegt.
Um diesen seit Jahrzehnten bestehenden Weihnachtsmarkt noch besser, schöner
und größer zu gestalten, suchen wir besonders Händler, die ihr Handwerk anbieten
und vorführen, sowie auch andere Anbieter zum Beispiel von Glas, Holz, Töpferwaren,
kunsthandwerklichen Artikeln, Weihnachtsschmuck und alle Artikel,
die zu einem Weihnachtsmarkt passen. Der Veranstalter stellt einheitliche
Weihnachtshütten mit Außendekoration in verschiedenen Größen zu Verfügung.
Auch Verzehr wird berücksichtigt. Ein Kindergeschäft mit sehr aufwändiger
Weihnachtsdekoration wird auch zugelassen.
Schriftliche Bewerbungen mit genauer Beschreibung und Fotos des
Warenangebots bis zum 30.06.2013 an folgende Adresse:
