HOLLYWOOD STAR<br />

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

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

August. To mark this occasion,<br />
an interesting festival programme<br />
will be offered beginning<br />
already on 24 th May.<br />
From the start of the event until<br />
26 th May, an organ weekend<br />
will be held in the Düren town<br />
centre, with large and small<br />
fairground organs being played<br />
at various locations, getting<br />
locals and guests into the<br />
spirit of the anniversary fair.<br />
From 9 th June to 18 th August,<br />
many photos and exhibits related<br />
to the history of the Annakirmes<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

VOODOO DANCER<br />

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

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

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

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

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

I am now in my third year as General Manager<br />

Earlier, as manager in the Lord Mayor’s office, I used<br />

included, among others, events relating to the 2006<br />
FIFA World Cup, the Church Congress in <strong>Hannover</strong><br />
with more than 100,000 participants, and the<br />
“Lena-Reception” held after her victory in the<br />
“Eurovision Song Contest”. In the meantime, the<br />
“largest Schützenfest in the world” has grown dear to<br />
my heart, and with the cooperation of the showmen,<br />
the Schützen and Günter Arand, the fairground<br />
director, I would like to bring our event back to the<br />
very top of the German Volksfest events. ■<br />

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

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

coaster with a steep drop and a new type of steep<br />
curve, celebrated its première in neighbouring Hildesheim<br />
two weeks prior to the <strong>Hannover</strong> Schützenfest.<br />
Already in late 1970 the successor, the “Jet<br />
Star 2” with a newly developed spiral tower ascent<br />
and a good 700-metre track length was introduced,<br />
and together with Gottlieb Löffelhardt, Rick brought<br />
a still larger coaster, a Jumbo-Jet also called “Jet-<br />
Star 3”, to the German fairgrounds.<br />
In the 1960s and 1970s, almost every new and<br />
sensational attraction in the Federal Republic of<br />
Germany appeared on the <strong>Hannover</strong> Schützenplatz<br />
fairground; Ferris Wheels of different sizes and the<br />
“Motorboot-Regatta”, the coaster “Jet-Star”, “Super-<br />
Acht”, “Blizzard”, “Racing”, “Jumbo-Jet”, “Silber-<br />

as “Tolle Jolle”, “Polyp”, Titan”, “Hula-Hoop”, “Air<br />

Popular Switchback constructions such as “Santa-<br />

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

the moon globe 18 metres in diameter, watching in<br />
awed fascination the flight of the Apollo capsule.<br />
Back then, the <strong>Hannover</strong>sche Allgemeine Zeitung<br />
wrote with a somewhat ironic tone, “When the Apollo<br />
14 journey to the moon begins, the Capri fishermen<br />
cast out their nets over the loudspeakers”. Nonetheless<br />
– just five months earlier, on 5 th February<br />
1971, the genuine “Apollo 14 space capsule” had<br />
landed on the moon.<br />
The next sensational world première at the Schützenfest<br />
was celebrated in 1980, when the more than<br />
60-metre high transportable Ferris Wheel from Steiger<br />
could go into operation only around midnight<br />
after an exciting countdown, as a number of electronic<br />
components were delivered late. The <strong>Hannover</strong><br />
press published reports about the world<br />
première of the 380-ton construction, its TÜV<br />
inspection and the load test with 336 beer barrels in<br />
its 42 gondolas. Moreover, Lord Mayor Schmalstieg<br />
also made a première spin as guest of honour.<br />
Four years later, in July 1984, railway wagons had<br />
again rolled from Münsterhausen to <strong>Hannover</strong>, holding<br />
the “Dreier Looping” from Rudolf Barth, which<br />
was built up for the first time and celebrated its world<br />
première in <strong>Hannover</strong>. Once again, the Volksfest<br />
visitors were enthralled by this new looping attraction<br />
with its unique, speedy drop, and long queues<br />
formed in its station area. Unfortunately, this proved<br />
to be a big disadvantage to the large “Münchner<br />
Bahn”, which had not been dismantled after the 1984<br />
Spring Festival on the Schützenplatz. Due to its sensational<br />
competitor, it was not as well received as expected.<br />
Modern Times – the 1980s<br />
Even though the 1980s are still derided as “the<br />
decade of bad taste” these days, they brought very<br />
many good novelty attractions, and many of them<br />
made one or more appearances on the <strong>Hannover</strong><br />
Schützenplatz. A Bremen manufacturer in particular<br />
produced many great, new ride attractions that proved<br />
highly popular with the public, including the<br />
“Pirat”, “Ranger”, “Rainbow”, “Condor”, “Ikarus”,<br />
“Flipper”, and “Magic”, and these appeared almost<br />
every year. Having evolved from the “Projekt 17”, the<br />
“Break-Dance”, more than 40 examples of which<br />
have been sold in Germany since 1985, proved to<br />
be the absolute top Volksfest hit. Meanwhile, it<br />
numbers among the Volksfest classics and is an outright<br />
cult ride, just as is the dodgem track and the<br />
Musik-Express.<br />
26
In the 1980s, they were joined for the first time by<br />
travelling water rides, multi-level Ghost Rides and<br />
large coasters with and without looping elements.<br />
New Ferris Wheels of different sizes and types were<br />
built, and prototypes, small series of attractions and<br />
one-off constructions repeatedly provided surprises<br />
to the Volksfest scene, such as the large Flying<br />
Carpet “1001 Nacht”, the “Wellenflug”, “Hexentanz”,<br />
“Happy Sailor”, the exotic “Happy Traveller”, the<br />
“Sky-Rider”, “Drachenflug” and the “Galactica”. With<br />
“Cinema 180” and “Omnivision”, cinematography<br />
with a completely 'new look' enticed the visitors into<br />
domed halls, providing them with a compelling new<br />
type of cinema and movie experience. While many<br />
of these attractions have successfully survived to<br />
this day, some of them have, unfortunately, far too<br />
quickly disappeared from the fairgrounds.<br />
Spectacular, Distinctive and Unique<br />
This final chapter focuses on the 1990s and the years<br />
around the turn of the millennium, which saw the<br />
“Wilde Maus” come back to the fairgrounds as a<br />
steel construction, sometimes even as a double-<br />
Mouse, such as presented at <strong>Hannover</strong> by the Kinzler<br />
firm in 1994. The Triple-Looping was replaced by<br />
the “Olympia-Looping”, a five-loop construction and<br />
frequent guest in <strong>Hannover</strong>, just as was the “Alpina-<br />
1988: Flipper, Kinzler –<br />
1983: 1001 Nacht, Vorlop<br />
1998: Star World, Renoldi -<br />
1999: Olympia Looping, Barth –<br />
1995: Evolution, Eberhard –<br />
2005: Eurostar, Bruch
HISTORY<br />
2004: Crinoline, Roie<br />
Bahn” which had evolved from the Himalaya-type<br />
construction. In 2005, the sensational “Euro-Star”<br />
provided <strong>Hannover</strong> visitors with a surge of adrenaline.<br />
While the richly curved “Spinning-Racer” and<br />
the “Magic Mountain” indoor coaster, later on renamed<br />
“Star-World”, were repeatedly built up in <strong>Hannover</strong>,<br />
the “Phantasia”, “Extrem” and the “Horror<br />
Vision” made only a single appearance on the Schützenplatz.<br />
Of course, the ride sector was also represented by<br />
sensational attractions in <strong>Hannover</strong>, with “Evolution”,<br />
“Flying Circus”, “Salto Mortale”, “Airwolf”, “Shot'n<br />
Drop”, “Power Tower” and “Star-Flyer” being new<br />
highlights. In the meantime, the “Crinoline”, also<br />
highly popular in <strong>Hannover</strong>, had unfortunately left<br />
Germany, and a once-only event was presented in<br />
<strong>Hannover</strong> in 2006. This presented the spectacular<br />
sight of people soaring across the <strong>Hannover</strong> Schützenplatz<br />
on the steel cables of the “Mach 1”<br />
construction from the Traber brothers - just as did<br />
that tiny Cessna in 1969.<br />
■<br />
2006: Mach 1, Traber<br />

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

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

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

Halveraner Kirmes<br />
HALVER<br />
31.05.– 03.06.2013<br />

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

PREMIÈRE<br />
Première in Recklinghausen:<br />
“Cobra” from Angelo<br />
Agtsch<br />
In late summer last year, showman<br />
Angelo Agtsch surprised<br />
the industry with his purchase of<br />
the compact “XenoX” Looping<br />
Coaster, which had successfully<br />
toured throughout Switzerland<br />
under the management of the<br />
showman Andreas Bauer from<br />
Zuchwil. The first venues were<br />
the Volksfest events in Detmold<br />
and Lemgo. After redesigning<br />
the attraction during the winter<br />
months, Angelo Agtsch celebrated<br />
the successful and muchnoticed<br />
première with the redesigned<br />
Looping Coaster, renamed<br />
as “Cobra”, at the Palmkirmes<br />
in Recklinghausen.<br />
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen<br />
Cobra<br />
In autumn 2011, Angelo Agtsch and his partner<br />
Miriam Blume decided to add a ride attraction to<br />
their firm's inventory, with the “Xenox” coaster being<br />
at the top of their wish list. The Looping Coaster had<br />
attracted their attention during an appearance in<br />
Basle at the same time. The construction’s compact<br />
measurements and the exciting ride it offered,<br />
considerably increased their interest in this attraction.<br />
Moreover, the fact that the compact coaster fills a<br />
niche in their tour schedule, and does not further<br />
contribute to the excess supply of swings and<br />
propellers, tipped the scales in its favour. As a result,<br />
Angelo Agtsch contacted the Bauer family expressing<br />
his interest in purchasing the attraction. While the<br />
coaster was bought after brief negotiations as early<br />
as the spring of 2012, it was taken over only after the<br />
Basle Herbstmesse, the traditional end of the season<br />
in Switzerland, as was agreed. In the meantime, they<br />
had thought about a new theme for the ride. With<br />
“Cobra” an appropriate name was easily found, and<br />
the idea for the design came from their circle of<br />
friends. The MP Design firm, which had already been<br />
responsible for designing the adventure construction<br />
“Amazonas”, was contracted to carry out the plans.<br />
Perfect Outfit<br />
To begin with, the coaster was dismantled in Switzerland<br />
and transported to Munich. Next, the Gams firm<br />
repainted the tracks, supports, and the cars. As the<br />
tracks were covered with a special varnish paint<br />
containing luminous pigments, they light up as spotlights<br />
are trained on them in the evenings, providing<br />
the Looping Coaster with a truly extraordinary illumination.<br />
The last decoration elements arrived one day<br />
after the opening of the Palmkirmes and were mounted<br />
immediately. This done, it turned out that the MP<br />
Design firm had realised the design draft true almost<br />
to every last detail. The paybox and entrance area<br />
were elaborately decorated with many signs, the<br />
coaster's logo, wooden beams, paraffin lamps, an oil<br />
barrel and benches. Particularly striking are the large<br />
cobra heads, mounted on top of the paybox and the<br />
tower, as well as at the highest point of the coaster,<br />
and the palm trees with their small palm leaves<br />
38
PREMIÈRE<br />
Large Cobra heads<br />
dominate the new decoration of<br />
the coaster<br />
moving in the wind can hardly be distinguished from<br />
genuine palm trees. The well-considered decoration<br />
leaves nothing to be desired and provides the<br />
coaster with a perfect outfit.<br />
Construction by Werner Stengel<br />
The attraction designed by Werner Stengel was built<br />
by the Interpark firm four years ago with a front length<br />
of 31 metres, a depth of 21 metres and a track height<br />
of 31 metres. Two trains accommodating 10 people<br />
can travel along the tracks at the same time, secured<br />
by three blocks. The trains are equipped with the<br />
latest shoulder restraint system and provide additional<br />
foot rests, thus also allowing for children, although<br />
they are required to be not less than 130 cm in height.<br />
39
PREMIÈRE<br />
Angelo Agtsch, Miriam<br />
Blume, and Pastor Sascha<br />
Ellinghaus at the inauguration<br />
of the coaster<br />
The lift chain runs only once the train has passed the<br />
first sensor.<br />
In the long run, this design saves a lot of power.<br />
Particularly striking is the coaster’s triangular base<br />
plan due to which the construction requires hardly any<br />
more space than a large round ride. The station is<br />

on the coaster, so that the public can watch the entire<br />

drop into the twisted looping as well as the speedy,<br />
twisty ride up to the station. This coaster provides pure<br />
ride fun, not least due to its impressive looping.<br />

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

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

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

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

PRAGUE<br />

The traditional Frühjahrskirmes Matejska Pout in<br />
the Czech capital of Prague, held from 2 nd March to<br />
21 st April, celebrated a notable anniversary. For the<br />
50 th time, the event was held in the large area<br />
behind the historic Vystaviste fair halls. The<br />
festival’s origins date much further back, to the<br />
year 1595 in fact, and thereby the Matejska Pout<br />
numbers among the oldest fair events in Europe.<br />
Basically, the current festival ground offers a large<br />
circuit course, and for years a small fee has to be<br />
paid at the entrance to the area.<br />
Represented at this year’s event were showmen from<br />
the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Austria, and<br />
even though the Matejska Pout was as attractive as<br />
usual, there were only a couple of novelties in 2013.<br />
For the first time presented in Prague was, among<br />
others, the "Geistervilla" from the Sipkema family. The<br />
Dutch showman-family took over this Ghost ride from<br />
the Zinnecker firm in the autumn of 2012 in addition to<br />
their larger Spuk construction, which they presented<br />
in Prague in 2012. A creepy atmosphere was also<br />
provided by the Walkthrough constructions "Zombies"<br />
and "Temple of Adventure”, from the Austrian Stessl<br />
firm in Prague.<br />
The skyline of this year’s event was once again<br />
shaped by high constructions from the Netherlands. In<br />
addition to Van der Beek’s "Around The World" tower<br />
ride, visitors were able to enjoy the high Inversion from<br />
Ordelman and a Booster Maxx from the De Voer firm<br />
in Prague, along with the Snow Jet, River Rafting and<br />
the Super Mouse, as well as the sound machine that<br />
has been popular for so many years, which hails also<br />
from the Netherlands.<br />
The Czech showmen once again presented their<br />
successful constructions. Yet again built up in the front<br />
area of the fairground were the Funhouse and the<br />
Superbowl, as well as a Miami. Further along the<br />
course visitors encountered, among other attractions,<br />
the Booster, Energy Rush and two Breakdance<br />
constructions, as well as Pirate, Enterprise, two Ghost<br />
Rides, Jungle King, coaster, Double-Ranger, several<br />
dodgem tracks, as well as a permanently installed<br />
Ferris Wheel. While games containers offering the<br />
latest games try to entice the public in the Dutch<br />
section of the fairground, every year the Czech showmen<br />
present classic, mechanical shooting galleries,<br />
still highly popular in 2013. Unfortunately, the event<br />
suffered from freezing temperatures, so the Matejska<br />
Pout did not really gain momentum. As was the case<br />
throughout Europe, the long delay in the onset of<br />
spring substantially affected the course of business.<br />
By the way, in addition to the well-known Matejska<br />
Pout, a smaller event is held in the same area in<br />
autumn; namely the Vaclavska Pout, presenting only a<br />
handful of attractions, all from local showmen. ■
A LOOK BACK<br />
NANCY<br />
Long-running hit in Nancy:<br />
“Move in Top”<br />
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt<br />
At this year’s traditional French “Foire Attractive de<br />
Printemps” event in Nancy, held on the Carnot and<br />
Leopold fairgrounds from 29 th March to 28 th April,<br />
visitors were able to enjoy many novelties.<br />
Among them there were as many as five over-the-top<br />
rides appearing in the large French city for the first<br />
time, which were joined by another three rides with<br />
loopings; namely the regular participants “Shaker<br />
Dance”, “Katapult” and “Top Scan”. With more than<br />
170 attractions, this was excessive, even for this large<br />
event in Nancy. “Less” would have definitely been<br />
“more”.<br />
Further novelties for Nancy included, among other<br />
attractions, Kopp’s “Booster Maxxx”, Coquoz’s “Avenger”,<br />
Pfausser’s “New World”, Baptiste’s “Inversion<br />
360°”, and the “Move it 32”. With the “Mini Chenille”<br />
Switchback, there was even a novelty for young<br />
visitors. Moreover, the “Super Railway”, “Move in Top”,<br />
“Bayern Kurve”, “Breakdance”, “Shakers”, “Tokaido<br />
Express”, a Ferris Wheel, “Tagada”, “Simulator”,<br />
Caterpillar Ride and “Twister” were once again among<br />
the long-standing hits.<br />
After a break of several years, the “Euro Splash” water<br />
ride was presented at the event once again. The<br />
“Haunted” and the “Psycho” provided creepy fun, and<br />
a number of Walkthrough constructions rounded of the<br />
cornucopia of ride attractions. The double storey<br />
“Kheops Labyrinth”, taking visitors to the Kingdom of<br />
the Pharaohs, surprised the public with a redesigned<br />
façade. The almost unmanageable number of games<br />
attractions was just as popular. Designated Family<br />
Days were 10 th and 17 th April, offering reduced prices<br />
at all attractions. Once again, it was possible to welcome<br />
more than 1 million visitors at the “Foire” this year.<br />
The high visitor attendance emphasized the popularity<br />
and excellent reputation that the top-class event<br />
enjoys not only among the showmen. The only<br />
negative occurrence was a fire to which the popular<br />
Brasserie “Au Feu de Bois” fell victim during the night<br />
of the 14 th April.<br />

SAINT DIZIER<br />

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

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

places for eight people to relax together and eat and<br />
drink. The pergolas with small windows and pretty<br />
curtains are oases for resting and chilling out, and<br />
can be used at events of all kinds all year round. This<br />

International Exchange about Educational Work in Berlin<br />
ceived and welcomed by the showmen, in Ham in<br />
France unfortunately there were no groups available<br />
that were large enough to take part.<br />
The participants agreed that continued exchange<br />
and the coordinated action over the national borders<br />
would in the long run improve the educational<br />

Europe. The Ett Edu-Project is an important step in<br />
the right direction.<br />

Education means future. Those who have a<br />
good education have a better chance in life.<br />
For this reason it's important that the framework<br />
conditions in the area of education continue<br />
to be developed and improved for the<br />
showman profession in Europe. From the 5 th<br />
to 8 th May 2013, members of the European<br />
educational project "Ett Edu" met in Berlin for<br />
a working session.<br />
In Germany the school project BeKoSch (Professional<br />
competence for showmen), has been a success<br />
model for many years. It offers the travelling youth<br />
the possibility to absolve their compulsory education<br />
during the winter months. In France and England<br />
young showmen may well profit from the positive<br />
experience of their young German colleagues.<br />
In 2011 the European Commission furthered "Ett<br />
Edu" project (European Transfer of Travellers Vocational<br />
Education) was founded. The task of the project<br />
is the development of a European concept for<br />
the professional training of travelling youth. Within<br />
these frames there are already concrete offers such<br />
as the German BeKoSch-courses, so constructed<br />

attraction or as the finale<br />
of an event. However, hardly<br />
any visitor is aware of the<br />
preparation and effort required<br />
to conjure up such as<br />
a spectacle as, for example, a<br />
20-minute fireworks display<br />
with rockets, motif bombs,<br />
golden cascades and star<br />
bouquets soaring up into the<br />
sky. In October 2012, the<br />
Kirmes & <strong>Park</strong> Revue observed<br />
and documented the<br />
preparations for the opening<br />
fireworks display for the Bremen<br />
Freimarkt, learning<br />
many details on this subject<br />
from the organizer of this display,<br />
the Goslar Schneider<br />
Pyrotechnik firm, which has<br />
in the meanwhile celebrated<br />
its 60 th company anniversary,<br />
and has presented fireworks<br />
displays at the Bremen<br />
Freimarkt for 18 years.<br />

and batteries are made ready. Once the material<br />
has been assembled and readied, the vehicles<br />

team from the<br />

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

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

and frenetic cheering. While the fair event on the<br />
Bürgerweide-fairground ran at 'full steam' and<br />
the rides and all the other Freimarkt attractions<br />
were veritably besieged by visitors, it took the<br />
Schneider team another two hours to dismantle<br />

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

In the meanwhile the park’s backwards riding<br />

had a makeover to become a completely normal<br />

can experience the 21 year old coaster in an all<br />
new way. The Batman coaster has a reputation for<br />
being intense so, based on “The Swarm”, riding<br />
it backwards could be a step too far for some.<br />
Unlike “The Swarm”, Batman’s backwards riding<br />
will only last for a limited time, likely to just be the<br />
summer.<br />

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

beginning of 2013 one of its trains travels backwards.<br />
The 44 metre tall coaster that opened in 2007,<br />
also features a new choice of on board music from<br />
Japanese pop band SMAP. The new ride experience<br />
seems to be much less nauseating, perhaps<br />
due to the lack of inversions, with riders finding<br />
the moments of negative g force particularly<br />
fun when riding backwards.<br />
The plan is for the ride to operate this way until 7 th<br />

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

The new main attraction<br />
at “The Magic Valley” is a<br />
Rapid Ride from Hafema<br />
Water Rides GmbH<br />
Many people think about David<br />
Copperfield or Siegfried & Roy<br />
rather than theme parks when<br />
the subject magic comes up.<br />
However at Toverland, situated<br />
near the German-Dutch border<br />
in Sevenum, something magical<br />
has been going on for twelve<br />
years now: the change from an<br />
indoor playground into a recreational<br />
destination that instead of<br />
offering a rabbit has pulled a<br />
mobile surprise out of its hat!<br />
De Magische Vallei<br />
Text:<br />
Marc Spies<br />
Photos: Marc Spies, Toverland<br />
Toverland’s General Manager<br />
Caroline Maessen is without<br />
a doubt proud of the new<br />
area and its new attractions<br />
Since the opening of the GCI wooden coaster<br />
“Troy” in 2007 – which by the way still belongs<br />
among the crème de la crème in Europe, and was<br />
for example honoured by a European Star Award<br />
prize – it became rather still at Toverland as far as<br />
large ride constructions were concerned, however<br />
plans here and there of potential attractions<br />
were never discarded, but rather landed (initially?)<br />
into the drawers of owner Jean Gelissen and<br />
park director Caroline Maessen. Instead and in<br />
the meantime, the entrance area of Toverland was<br />
redesigned, a hall was thoroughly renovated, the<br />
gastronomy extended, and a shop rebuilt. Nevertheless<br />
it was foreseeable that ambitious Toverland<br />
would also invest heavily in the future.<br />
Magic Dwarfs<br />
And so it came about at the end of September<br />
2012 that the Spinning Coaster “d’wervelwind”<br />
from Mack Rides (see KPR 12/2012) was the first<br />
attraction to open on a four hectare extension<br />
area, as the fourth coaster of the park. However<br />
it was first in April 2013 that “The Magic Valley”<br />
opened officially, and only a few weeks later the<br />
“Djengu Rivers”, the second main attraction of the<br />
new outside area, was released to the public.<br />
The basic facts about the new theme land are<br />
impressive: eight new attractions, 2.8 million kilos<br />
of stone, over 60,000 plants, a park own soundtrack,<br />
umpteen waterfalls, and a total investment<br />
62
amount of some 14 million Euro. Even more<br />
impressive is that the theming came from the park<br />
itself, based on the homespun legend of Dwervel,<br />
and recreated for Toverland by artist Peter van<br />
Holsteijn. The Dwervels, a folk of small dwarfs who<br />
have magic powers, have settled in the magic<br />
valley and create a sensation – to the amusement<br />
of visitors and naturally also the operator. The<br />
theme area offers a similar landscaping as already<br />
seen at “Troy” with many rocks, water and<br />
plants.<br />
Water March<br />
More or less hidden but present all the time is the<br />
Rapid River “Djengu River” from Hafema Water<br />
Ride Systems. Due to the clever covering of the<br />
course with natural stones as well as a complete<br />
theming of the station building, the track course<br />
is initially not visible from outside. This causes the<br />
feeling that during at least the very first ride, the<br />
460 metre track appears to be extremely long,<br />
and in some cases is not recommended for those<br />
with sensitive stomachs. The ten round boats<br />
accommodating up to nine passengers go<br />
through enormously fast rotations in some parts,<br />
whilst passing waterfalls and fountains for 240<br />
seconds. The passenger loading is somewhat<br />
more sedate as the boats travel along a slowly<br />
running belt. However “Djengu River” has sufficient<br />
capacity of over 900 passengers per hour,<br />
and offers wet and happy ride fun for the whole<br />
family, without completely soaking the guests.<br />
More New Attractions<br />
The water element is omnipresent all over the<br />
Magic Valley: no less than three of the other<br />
attractions have a connection to water: Metallbau<br />
Emmeln delivered “Tolly Molly”, a particularly<br />
lovingly designed variation of the classic duck<br />
ride, where instead of disdainful ducks there are<br />
mystical water creatures that transport up to 24<br />
passengers.<br />
Visitors can be more active on the other hand on<br />
the “Kid’s Survival” trail, where naturally it’s less<br />
about life and death, but more about keeping the<br />
feet dry on the course. The 12 elements stem from<br />
VelopA Omniplay.<br />
As powerful and wet as it<br />
should be on a real Rapid Ride<br />
The track course and the<br />
lift of the “Djengu River” are<br />
well bedded into the theming<br />
63
This water attraction<br />
comes from Metallbau Emmeln<br />
The designs in the new<br />
theme area are harmonious<br />
For those for whom it’s far too strenuous there is<br />
the new fountain show “Katara, Fountain of<br />
Magic” to enjoy. 136 illuminated water fountains<br />
supported by an orchestral soundtrack present a<br />
successful show with lots of spraying water. If this<br />
is too wet for visitors, the show can also be viewed<br />
from the new restaurant opposite. And if it’s too<br />
dry for some, they in turn can try their luck on the<br />
Splash-Insel (Splash Island): there’s a certain<br />
amount of luck and skill required to arrive in a dry<br />
state. The show was manufactured by the<br />
GHESA Fuentes firm.<br />
Not quite as high as the up to 15 metre fountains<br />
but not rooted in the soil either, is the cable<br />
control tower “Coco Bolo” from Heege, which is<br />
also beautifully designed. A newly hatched bird<br />
moves ceaselessly on the tip of the tower, whilst<br />
visitors are spending energy on the cable. And<br />
those who still have enough power after tower<br />
climbing can live it up on a large climbing castle<br />
from Eibe, or a large trampoline.<br />
Quo vadis?<br />
Toverland has done everything right with its extension<br />
around Magic Valley. Added to the main<br />
target group of families with children, the attractions<br />
“d’wervelwind” and “Djengu River” are suit-<br />
64
able for an even broader public. And this is<br />
exactly the aim of owner Jean Gelissen. “With a<br />
wider range of attractions for the whole family and<br />
top class theming, we are increasing the status of<br />
the park considerably. We are convinced that the<br />
Netherlanders, Belgians and the Germans within<br />
a distance of 100 kilometres will find their way to<br />
us”. Toverland expects in the short term an<br />
increase in visitor numbers of around 20% in<br />
comparison to 2012, which means a growth of<br />
100,000; in the medium term, one million visitors<br />
are expected to respond. It is hoped to win more<br />
visitors from the Nord-Rhine Westphalia area as<br />
well.<br />
The most exciting question still remains<br />
however: what sort of magic will<br />
Toverland pull out of the hat next? One thing that<br />
is certain is that entrance into “De Magische<br />
Valley” is to be made possible also from the theme<br />
A climbing castle from<br />
Eibe and a cable tower from<br />
Heege have also been erected<br />
area “Troja”, which until now was only through the<br />
second hall. In the near future, according to Jean<br />
Gelissen in an interview, there is also to be an<br />
additional large coaster at the park.<br />
Furthermore there are existing and concrete<br />
plans for a theme hotel. What will actually be<br />
realised and what will land in the drawer remains<br />
to be seen – but it’s pretty certain that it won’t be<br />
a rabbit! ■ The theme area “The<br />

Attractiepark Slagharen in the<br />
Netherlands is celebrating its<br />
50th anniversary with four new<br />
attractions. Following the takeover<br />
of the family park by the<br />
Spanish Parques Reunidos last<br />
year, the first rebuilding work<br />
has taken place this season.<br />
Jules Verne Adventure<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Olaf Esser<br />
“Fogg’s Trouble”<br />
unfortunately has no design<br />
at all<br />
The currently new named Slagharen Theme <strong>Park</strong><br />
& Resort had already opened in 1963 as the<br />
Ponypark Slagharen, and it was operated by the<br />
Bemboom family for 49 years. As time went on the<br />
park became larger, and already the 1960s and<br />
1970s saw classic rides of these days come into<br />
being, such as the “Ocean of Darkness” the huge<br />
chain ride “Apollo”, and the “Looping Star Thunder<br />
Loop” – all those and other rides from legendary<br />
Schwarzkopf factory.<br />
On the 1 st May 2013, the area “Jules Verne Adventureland”<br />
was opened, where there are now four<br />
new attractions. Unfortunately old and well preserved<br />
attractions had to make way, for example<br />
the unique Darkride “Ocean of Darkness”, in which<br />
ride guests in globe-shaped gondolas passed fish,<br />
octopi, mermaids, and other ocean inhabitants. Another<br />
ride construction, the old “Enterprise” from<br />
Schwarzkopf on the other hand was retained, and<br />
has been integrated a little into the new area.<br />
66
The new Top Act among the four novelties is without<br />
a doubt the “Expedition Nautilus” from Mack<br />
Rides, a successful combination of a “Splash<br />
Battle” and a Teacup Ride, called by the German<br />
manufacturer just what it is: “Twist ‘n’ Splash”. Both<br />
are very successful attractions that can be found in<br />
many parks all over the world. So it’s no wonder that<br />
the combination of the rides is also enthralling.<br />
Following the entry into one of the new round boats,<br />
54 adventurers take off on a wet and fun round trip.<br />
As is also the case on a Splash Battle or similar ride,<br />
there is also a lot of water spraying here, by rotating<br />
the water cannons. This can also be a wet<br />
experience for the viewers, as the cannons reach a<br />
considerable range. But there are also cannons on<br />
the outside that can spray water. The fun is seen on<br />
the faces of both the younger guests and adults,<br />
and great weather here is naturally an advantage.<br />
In the event of bad weather or for the water-shy<br />
there is a small shop that sells ponchos for an Euro<br />
a piece. Alternatively there is also – as known from<br />
other parks – a huge walk-in dryer.<br />
The second novelty is also a kind of interactive, in<br />
the form of bicycles in the air, with visitors reaching<br />
the highest point by pedalling. This attraction has<br />
also been designed for both children and parents,<br />
supported by the extra adjustable seats, so children<br />
have no problems in reaching the pedals and<br />
participating.<br />
Unfortunately the passenger loading takes somewhat<br />
longer in this case, and the design is a little<br />
sparse as well. “Magic Bikes” is surrounded by a<br />
fence and is located on the edge of the park near<br />
an old building. The Italian manufacturer Zamperla<br />
offers various sizes for this attraction, this particular<br />
version having eight gondolas.<br />
The attraction “Fogg’s Trouble” is also from Zamperla.<br />
This is a “Rockin’ Tug” with a capacity of 24<br />
passengers, where eight adults are also allowed on<br />
board. The location and design here is also lifeless<br />
however. The gondola swings in the form of a boat,<br />
rotating on the track here and there. There is no<br />
water, not even on the decoration, only a few leftovers<br />
from the Darkride “Ocean of Darkness” have<br />
been used as decoration elements. The maritime<br />
boat design is also shown less to its advantage.<br />
The fourth novelty is once again a highlight for the<br />
smaller guests; the “Passepartout Explorer” is partly<br />
roofed over and has a large outer area. Here, the<br />
children initially participate in theory instruction for<br />
their driver’s licence and are then allowed onto the<br />
street, after which they drive past their parents<br />
The driving school stems<br />
from Italian manufacturer<br />
Zamperla<br />
The “Magic Bikes” are<br />
also from Zamperla<br />

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

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

The new water attraction<br />
“Pinguine! Abenteuer Antarktis”<br />
comes from abc rides<br />
In those days the park was maintained by the<br />
CentrO.-Betreibergesellschaft, however the company<br />
very soon wanted to concentrate completely<br />
on the business and gastronomy area, and searched<br />
for the relevant new operator for the park. In<br />
2001 showman Oskar Bruch Junior took over the<br />
helm. He entered into a lease agreement and rebuilt<br />
the park into a real amusement park, in that he<br />
installed a number of ride constructions at CentrO<br />
<strong>Park</strong>.<br />
For ten years he attempted to make the park into a<br />
profitable business. All the same very soon it was<br />
obvious that it would be a difficult undertaking to<br />
establish a typical all-day amusement park, next to<br />
a shopping mall, as in principle visitors were not<br />
travelling to the “Neue Mitte Oberhausen” to visit a<br />
middle sized amusement park, but because of a<br />
shopping experience. With that, a complete day<br />
price for an amusement park visit didn’t come into<br />
question – besides that offers for day trips in the<br />
Ruhr district – among them Movie <strong>Park</strong> Germany<br />
were substantially more attractive. Oskar Bruch<br />
terminated the lease at the end of 2010 for all these<br />
reasons.<br />
70
When the Sea Life Centre opened in 2004, it was<br />
exactly the right combination in harmony with<br />
visitors to a shopping mile: the aquarium offered a<br />
relatively entertaining experience, which could be<br />
very well combined with a visit to a shopping mall.<br />
With this Sea Life Centre, the worldwide Merlin<br />
Entertainments Group provided the first destination<br />
in the Ruhr area; four years later a second mainstay<br />
came into being in Duisburg, the world’s first<br />
Legoland Discovery Centre.<br />
Whilst during the last two years there was no<br />
amusement park at CentrO any more, in 2012 the<br />
announcement came that together with Merlin<br />
Entertainments, a new user of the area had been<br />
found. Besides the discussions about the takeover<br />
of the park, talks in relation to the further use of the<br />
remaining ride constructions and attractions were<br />
not successful, so Oskar Bruch Junior dismantled<br />
the ride constructions – with the exception of the<br />
available tractor attraction and the park’s railway<br />
from Metallbau Emmeln – and could partly sell them<br />
to Scandinavia. During the past year the Merlin<br />
Entertainments Group announced the extension of<br />
the shopping mall Sea Life Centre into the Sea Life<br />
Abenteuer <strong>Park</strong>, and to relocate the Lego Discovery<br />
Centre from Duisburg to Oberhausen for around 15<br />
million Euro.<br />
A new building came into being directly on the<br />
earlier entrance to the previous CentrO, which is the<br />
entrance to the Sea Life Abenteuer <strong>Park</strong>, and<br />
simultaneously harbours the Lego Discovery<br />
Centre – and as new indoor attraction there is to be<br />
a “Magic Bike” from Zamperla added this year.<br />
The Sea Life Centre by the way remained on its old<br />
location and with that has no direct connection to<br />
the new park. All the same, the entrance fee to the<br />
Sea Life Centre also includes a visit to neighbouring<br />
parks and there are also kombi-tickets to enable<br />
visitors to enjoy all three attractions. And so a resort<br />
came into being with three different recreational<br />
possibilities, leading to a lot of synergy effects in<br />
marketing and operation.<br />
At the new Adventure <strong>Park</strong> a new and large main<br />
attraction has come into being, combining a ride<br />
with an animal experience. This classic water ride<br />
from abc rides is located directly near the new<br />
entrance area, in order to be an “eye catcher” for<br />
guests at the gastronomy area.<br />
The water attraction is 250<br />
metres long, 14 metres high<br />
and has a capacity of<br />
685 passengers per hour<br />
(with the use of 8 boats with<br />
maximum persons each)<br />
Also constructively interesting:<br />
the water attraction only<br />
requires one main support<br />

Werner Novotny (General<br />
Manager Lego Discovery Centre<br />
Oberhausen) and Jörg Meyer<br />
(<strong>Park</strong> Operations Supervisor<br />
Sea Life Abenteuer <strong>Park</strong>)<br />
Right next door a new home has been erected for<br />
15 Gentoo penguins: an Antarctic world with large<br />
visible pools for the animals that not only offer a<br />
themed experience for children and adults, but a<br />
water ride also travels through a part of the new<br />
animal habitat. Something extra special here is that<br />
the water canal leads through a glass tunnel under<br />
the penguin pool, offering a completely different<br />
perspective.<br />
Naturally the whole attraction is supported by a nice<br />
story: the attraction prepares the park guests for an<br />
Antarctic expedition. In the so-called “Briefing<br />
Station” they are primed up for the cold and wind,<br />
to then plunge for a short period into the Antarctic<br />
or rather the penguin enclosure. The whole thing is<br />
underlined by fitting decoration and sound effects.<br />
At the end naturally a typical drop is waiting – very<br />
considerately located directly at the gastronomy<br />
line – and prepares the ride guests for a nice piece<br />
of adrenalin. “Pinguine! Abenteuer Antarktis” is a<br />
special experience that one is used to from Merlin,<br />
and the combination of ride attraction with animals<br />
is very successful.<br />
There are two other ride attractions in the rest of the<br />
park area. The earlier existing tractor ride has<br />
received the name “Jeep Safari”, and has been<br />
equipped with the corresponding jeeps. The technology<br />
has been improved in order to increase the<br />
speed. And there is the “Shanghai Express” travelling<br />
around the Chinese slide tower, without any<br />
really notable changes. Additionally the playgrounds,<br />
the hedge labyrinth, the trampoline and<br />
the gastronomy buildings have been retained as<br />
they were during the time of CentrO. <strong>Park</strong>. The landscape<br />
garden architecture has naturally not been<br />
changed, as the area has grown beautifully in the<br />
meantime, and offers a special note of relaxation.<br />
There is a so-called master plan for Life Abenteuer<br />
<strong>Park</strong> for up to 2017, containing further investment.<br />
New attractions are being considered that always<br />
have a connection to the animal world, and various<br />
continents as theme worlds. A closer choice will be<br />
crocodiles and a small type of hippopotamus,<br />
which apparently will be linked to a track attraction<br />
similar to a coaster. All this depends on just how<br />
successful this new concept will be. The past has<br />
72
shown just how quickly the Ruhr region can<br />
condemn a project: visitors are drawn to the new<br />
park, naturally also by the new location of the<br />
Legoland Discovery Centre; on the other hand<br />
many already know the Sea Life Centre that has already<br />
existed for years. Visitors have access to the<br />
park in combination with the centre, which doesn’t<br />
have all that much new on offer in order to market<br />
it as an individual product. Those visitors who only<br />
wish to use the park, which in principle comprises<br />
only of the new water attraction, will be disappointed.<br />
The grapevine in the populous Ruhr area functions<br />
excellently and has already managed to bag<br />
Warner Bros. Movie World that had opened early,<br />
and which was at that time actually an excellent<br />
park. And the Ruhr prattlers hardly ever forgive.<br />
Even these days, the park has the reputation that<br />
not all attractions have been opened and are only<br />
half finished, just as it had been presented in the<br />
first months after opening. So something could may<br />
well happen to the new attraction at Oberhausen, if<br />
it’s not immediately obvious that it’s an extension to<br />
the Sea Life Centre.<br />
Nevertheless the earlier Centro <strong>Park</strong> has found a<br />
good partner in the Merlin Entertainments Group,<br />
and one can wait eagerly to see which direction the<br />
future will take – also and particularly because the<br />
Zoom-Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen as well as the<br />
Duisburg Zoo are hard competitors in the Ruhr area<br />
in the matter of animal presentation, and could<br />
stand in the way.<br />
■<br />
Nature has conquered a<br />
large part of the park – a very<br />
special relaxing charm<br />
A large part of the park<br />
still looks the same as earlier,<br />
but almost without any rides<br />
BREEZING IN?<br />
Just a ticket for the new Sea<br />
Life Abenteuer <strong>Park</strong> alone<br />
is not possible, but available<br />
always in connection with the<br />
Sea Life Aquarium. An admittance<br />
ticket costs 23 Euro<br />
– for both adults and children!<br />
And unbelievable: children<br />
under the age of 15 years<br />
cannot enter unless accompanied<br />
by an adult. ■<br />

8 hectares is the largest and<br />

IRTRA<br />
he so-called “Uphill Water Coaster” is enjoying<br />
Tincreased popularity, transporting by way of<br />
the attractive ride dynamic of a coaster course on<br />
a water slide: namely by providing not only descents<br />
but also ascents. The world’s first slide of<br />
this type was developed by NBGS in 1994 for its<br />
own water park Schlitterbahn in Texas. In 2006, the<br />
Canadian water slide manufacturer Whitewater<br />
West, known these days as WhiteWater, took over<br />
the patent, and since then has been selling worldwide<br />
under the label “Master Blaster”. Powerful<br />
water jets provide for sliders being vigorously<br />
“washed to the top” on every type of ascent, which<br />
is quite a lively and fun experience.<br />
The slide course is hardly<br />
visible from outside<br />
The start height of 17<br />
metres has to be reached by<br />
visitor’s own power, before the<br />
speedy slide fun<br />
74
In the meanwhile competitor company ProSlide<br />
developed an uphill-slide with linear induction<br />
motors, and the appertaining magnetic rafts.<br />
Although the ascents on these “HydroMagnetics”<br />
named slides are substantially drier, they are however<br />
a lot more powerful. The first slide of this type<br />
opened in 2005 at the American Six Flags New<br />
England <strong>Park</strong>.<br />
WhiteWater has now its own LIM-variation in its<br />
portfolio, and has erected its first so called<br />
“AdrenaLIM Blaster” at the Central American<br />
water park Xocomil.<br />
Following a start height of 17 metres, it all about<br />
ascents and descents. Altogether the rafts catapult<br />
to the top six times per LIM, blasting riders uphill<br />
with the use of a magnet on the waterslide floor<br />
and a metal plate on the bottom of the inline<br />
inflatable boat.<br />
As a surprise, the deepest drop is located at the<br />
end of the 307 metre long water slide, where 2-<br />
person, 3-person and 4-person inline inflatable<br />
boats are allowed. The maximum speed is 46 kilometres<br />
per hour (13 m/s), and the construction’s<br />
capacity is 480 persons per hour.<br />
The new “Uphill Water<br />
Coaster” at Xocomil has a very<br />
interesting track course<br />
The lush vegetation in<br />
particular gives the water park<br />
an atmospheric and consistent<br />
overall picture<br />
75
The “Family Raft Ride”<br />
and the “SuperBowl” from<br />
WhiteWater<br />
The water park that was erected in 1997 around<br />
an artificial Maya pyramid already has a Multi-<br />
Lane Mat-Racer”, a “Boomerango”, a “Super-<br />
Bowl”, and a “Double Wave Pool” from White-<br />
Water. New to be added this year are two<br />
“AquaLoops”. However, the operator also has water<br />
slides from other firms in the programme, for<br />
example a very well themed Lazy River and three<br />
large water playgrounds from aquakita.<br />
The operator of the leisure resort in San Martín<br />
Zapotitlán is the public welfare organisation IRTRA<br />
(instituto de recreacion de los trabajadores de la<br />
empresa privada de Guatemala), which also<br />
operates other amusement parks, water parks,<br />
and hotels in the country. All members and their<br />
families enjoy free admittance; all others have to<br />
pay 100 Quetzal (almost 10 Euro); children may<br />
enter at half price.<br />

also impressive<br />

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS ORLANDO<br />
It has been obvious for quite<br />
some time that the extremely<br />
successful theme area “The<br />
Wizarding World of Harry Potter”<br />
that opened in 2010, is to be<br />
extended. And details have now<br />
been revealed.<br />
Text:<br />
Frank Lanfer<br />

Google Earth<br />
In addition to the imposing magic castle “Hogwarts”<br />
and the village belonging to it called “Hogsmeade”,<br />
there will also be the well known “Daigon<br />
Alley and “London” joining them out of the well<br />
known films and novels, from 2014 on.<br />
The marketing strategy in the process: the extension<br />
of the theme land will not take place at Universal<br />
Islands Of Adventure, but at the neighbouring<br />
theme park Universal Studios Florida. Although<br />
there will be a connection between these two<br />
magical locations with the “Hogwarts Express” with<br />
which the guests can travel in proper style from<br />
park to park, however to experience the complete<br />
Harry-Potter-World, all train passengers must be<br />
the owner of an expensive Two-<strong>Park</strong>-Ticket, or<br />
alternatively the so-called <strong>Park</strong>-Hopper-Ticket.<br />
With the huge success with “The Wizarding World<br />
of Harry Potter” Islands Of Adventure could show<br />
an visitor increase of over 20% despite the crucial<br />
times, and so the second park is to be extended. If<br />
one wishes to view it so – a reverse step of a theme<br />
park concept: not more themes in one park, but a<br />
theme in two parks! The question as to whether or<br />
not there is only one license fee to pay to Warner<br />
Bros., still remains unanswered.<br />
The “Hogwarts Express” travels – as in the film –<br />
between “Hogsmeade” and “London”. Although<br />
both end stations have been designed in detail, the<br />
ride itself takes place over a supported track bed.<br />
Three trains travel along this course, which have<br />
windows without a view to the real backstage area<br />
in order not to disturb the illusion, and instead a<br />
“real” ride between “Hogsmeade” and “London”<br />
and reverse, is played on monitors. A total of six<br />
different films, for example, day and night travel,<br />
have already been produced.<br />
78
In the new park area there will be, in addition to the<br />
many shops and restaurants that Harry Potter fans<br />
already know from the films and novels, a new ride<br />
construction as well: “Gringotts Coaster” leans<br />
thematically towards the magic bank of the same<br />
name. The darkride and coaster attraction harbours<br />
an Indoor-Highspeed-Coaster, which will delve<br />
deep down into the bank and dragons will be bound<br />
to be encountered.<br />
Unfortunately with the erection of the Harry-Potter<br />
area at Universal Studios, a milestone of the park<br />
and Studio will disappear in equal measure, as the<br />
new theme area comes into being on the area of the<br />
“Jaws” attraction. The axed boat tour was located<br />
between “Earthquake – The Big One” and the auditorium<br />
“Fear Factor Live” or alternatively between<br />
the area “San Francisco / Amity” and the “World<br />
Expo”.<br />

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

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

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

CHESSINGTON WORLD OF ADVENTURES<br />
After several years of improving<br />
and expanding the animal habitats<br />
at “Chessington World of<br />
Adventures”, the park has now<br />
merged ride with animal exhibit<br />
for the first time. “Zufari: Ride<br />
into Africa” gives guests the<br />
chance to experience a safari<br />
adventure, coming face to face<br />
with zebras, rhinos, giraffes and<br />
ostriches.<br />
Text & Photos: Marcus Gaines<br />
The ride takes up the area of land behind the<br />
Wanayama section of the park, which opened<br />
in 2010, producing the African area of the park. It<br />
seems apparent that “Zufari” was in the pipeline<br />
right from the inception of Wanayama.<br />
The ride begins with an interactive pre-show<br />
during which research leader Chase Van-Drive<br />
explains that they discovered a new area of Africa<br />
which they’ve named “Zufari”. Chase asks guests<br />
to go on an expedition to log the animals found<br />
there. A friendly lemur called Gozi takes over to<br />
explain more. Courtesy of the latest technology,<br />
and a witty cast member hidden from view, Gozi<br />
interacts directly with guests asking questions<br />
and telling jokes.<br />
Upon exiting the pre-show, adventurers board<br />
one of the 6 ex-army Leyland Daf trucks. The extensively<br />
themed trucks do not run on rails, although<br />
they do follow a well used path.<br />
The first port of call is a splash down into a small<br />
river to see flamingos, which sadly are difficult to<br />
spot beyond the indiscreet electric fence. Travelling<br />
past mysterious rock drawings, and an<br />
animal house that could do with a bit more themeing<br />
to make it less obvious, riders get their first<br />
view of the savannah and its inhabitants.<br />
Guests can enjoy great views of giraffes, zebras<br />
plus a number of ostriches – if only the fences and<br />
animal shelters could have been blended into the<br />
landscape more subtly.<br />
Then it’s time to search for the biggest and most<br />
impressive inhabitants: “Zufari” is home to three<br />
white rhino and from the trucks one has great<br />
views of the animals. But uh oh, the rhino appear<br />
to have knocked down a tree blocking the path.<br />
And it appears as though the only way out is<br />
through the cave that visitors were told to avoid<br />
during the pre-show.<br />
82
Given the nature of the ride it’s inevitable it’ll be<br />
compared with “Rhino Rally” at “Busch Gardens<br />
Tampa”, and “Kilimanjaro Safari” at “Disney’s<br />
Animal Kingdom”, and the short answer is, it’s not<br />
as big or as impressive. “Zufari” is considerably<br />
shorter, has far fewer and less variety of animals,<br />
and the cave finale is rather disappointing. But for<br />
those who’ve not been to Florida and for kids, the<br />
very target audience of<br />
the park, it’s truly<br />
exciting.<br />
Kids genuinely believe<br />
they are going on a real<br />
safari and being able to<br />
get so close to the animals,<br />
is an experience<br />
they won’t forget. A<br />
major advantage of<br />
“Zufari” being on a<br />
smaller ground area, is<br />
that one can get seemingly<br />
a lot closer to<br />
animals than in Florida.<br />
Wheelchair users and<br />
those under 110 centimetres,<br />
are unable to<br />
take part in the ride,<br />
however almost all<br />
animals are visible from<br />
any of the viewing<br />
areas.<br />
“Zufari” is great fun and<br />
is unlike anything the<br />
less well travelled will<br />
have seen, and for<br />
those concerned, the ride is aimed<br />
to be an exciting adventure.<br />
Maybe in time more varieties of<br />
animals can be added, and the<br />
cave be made more scary – or<br />
even better, it could be dropped<br />
completely.<br />

OAKWOOD<br />
The British Oakwood Theme<br />
<strong>Park</strong> has announced that its new<br />
£4 million family area of the park<br />
will be called “Neverland”, and<br />
themed on Peter Pan.<br />

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

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

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

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

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