On Tuesday, 11 th September, British Ambassador
Alice Walpole visited the traditional
Schueberfouer in Luxembourg together with
the renowned historian Steve Kayser.
During her stroll across the fairground (on the last
day of the event) Mrs. Walpole turned out to be a
true Volksfest friend, and was enthralled by the attractions,
the high-quality international offers, and
above all by the special atmosphere of the fairground.
In conversations with the participating
showmen she showed interet in the showmen's
concerns, particularly with regard to the European
unification process, and repeatedly asked showman
colleagues to extend their touring route also
to Great Britain, citing the Winter Wonderland at
London Hyde Park - just as well-known to her as
many other events - as an example. On the
Schobermesse, she was accompanied by the
renowned Luxembourg historian and showman fan
Steve Kayser. His hobby is the "Schueberfouer”,
the oldest Volksfest in Luxembourg, and he also
participates in its organisation. He has published
an illustrated book about the "Schueberfouer zenter
1340”, and delivered the official speech in the
church ruins on the eve of the Lullusfest in Bad
Hersfeld this year. He knows the Lullusfest from a
number of visits to Bad Hersfeld and is particularly
impressed by the combination of historical
awareness and the preserving of tradition. The
connections to the Lullus town have been initiated
by the "fire-master” Udo Rossbach and the Lullusfest
committee member of many years, Reinhard
Rauche. Steve Kayser advocates the Lullusfest,
one of the oldest European Volksfest events, being
protected as a cultural heritage site. Considering
the application to acknowledge the Lullusfest as
an immortal cultural asset, no better speaker than
Steve Kayser could have been found. ■

After almost 24 years as fairground director in
Melle-Gesmold, Josef Arling has bowed out of office
during this year’s meeting of participating
showmen at the Gesmold Fair.
On Friday evening (21 st September), Mayor Michael
Weßler thanked the outgoing fairground director for
the excellent job he had done. Josef Arling and the
members of the market committee have left their own
clearly noticeable and distinctive marks on the traditional
event, while at the same time enduringly further
developing it. Weßler was most certain: "Josef Arling
has been a fairground director with a heart, who has
always been at pains to provide fun for everybody". At
his farewell, he was presented with an illustrated book
and a gingerbread heart. On behalf of all the showmen,
the Weser-Ems Showman Association thanked
Arling and presented him with a certificate and a magic
carousel as a 'permanent loan'. The new fairground
director is Marion Brörmann, who has so far been responsible
for city marketing of the city of Melle. ■

JAMBA LAYA

Uwe Holzmann
At the Schützenfest in Sarstedt, Ralf Stange
from Uetze (Hannover region) presented his
“Jamba Laya” ride, he purchased in early
June 2012 and built up and operated in
Sarstedt for the second time.
Ralf Stange, who also tours a dodgem track, a
kiddie ride and several concession stalls first
heard about this major family ride from type "Allround”,
built by the Heinz Fähtz firm in 1975, from
a sales advertisement on the internet. Even
though the ride experienced a number of
changes of ownership in its lifetime, it still makes
a good, sound technical and visual impression.
The ride celebrated its première at the German-
French Volksfest in Berlin in 1975 under the management
of its first owner Bernhard Müller, after
Heinz Fähtz had purchased the "Allround”
patent from the Klaus firm of Memmingen, and

form of kite sails, and the diesel engine was replaced
by an environmentally friendly electric
motor. This autumn, Rolf Stange - who renamed
the ride into "Jamba Laya” - plans to change the
visual appearance into a South Sea/Hawaii
theme, to replace the large Fähtz paybox- staff
van with a new operator stand, and to equip the
ride with LED lighting. The ride has ground
measurements of 22 x 24 metres and electrical
requirements of 80 kW/h max.
■
Ralf Stange’s
Fähtz-Allround “Jamba Laya”
built a total of six Allround rides. While
the first two rides were still built with the
classic cage gondolas, the Ihle firm
from Bruchsal had developed and built
a new, extra wide Twister gondola accommodating
three passengers for
the other four constructions, giving the
ride a maximum capacity of 48 passengers.
The fourth example from this series
went as "Allround Swing 2004” to the
Müller firm in Berlin back then. Subsequent
operators were the firms Klugmann
& Schaar, as well as Bagatsch
from Neumünster, Greier from Schneverdingen,
and Langenscheidt from
Leer. Over the years, the ride was renamed
("Swing-Allround” and "Freak-
Spider”) several times, the gondolas
were equipped with new roofs in the

New: Wellness for the feet
at the Volksfest
Fish pedicure is a US
“wellness” trend, which
has now reached Europe.
The fish are on hand to provide,
believe it or not,
smooth and beautiful feet!
This surprising service was
encountered at a Volksfest
event for the first time, adjoining
a beverage outlet at
the summer fair in Turnhout,
Belgium, where eight comfortable armchairs
with small foot basins had been set up.
The attraction with these living creatures not only
attracted many spectators, but many visitors
immediately tried out this new "wellness”
offering.

Akim Blum’s
“Black Pearl” Swing Boat
For several weeks now, the Akim
Blum firm from Pforzheim has
been presenting its new purchase:
the “Black Pearl” Swing
Boat. The ride, built in the Czech
Republic, celebrated its première
at the Schlossplatzfest in
Dieburg.

Black Pearl
Last year in December, the Blum family, who
were already touring their "Buggy Express”
and a kiddie railway, finally decided in favour of
a family ride; a classic swing shaped like a boat.
In January, the ride was ordered at the Husek
firm in the Czech Republic. Completion was delayed
by almost three months before the "Black
Pearl” could go into operation for the first time,
after approval by the TÜV Süd. The construction
consists of a single trailer and can be hydraulically
built up within only two hours.
It has been equipped with an LED lighting
system, a friction drive system providing
the swinging movement, and a sound system
from the Bell firm. The boat accommodates
30 passengers. After the purchase of
the swing boat, the Blum family parted with their
"Filmrakete”. The première was followed by venues
in Schuttern am See, Rottweil, Oberkirchen

of 16 metres, is 8 metres deep, 15 metres high,
and has electrical requirements of 32 kW. ■

This season, the first “Street Fighter
Revolution” – the looping version of the successful
swing from Technical Park – has been
introduced in France.
The owner of the attraction called "High Energy
2” is Jean Baptiste Krismann from northern
France. As the swing sector has been booming
in France (just as it has in Germany) for some
time, Krismann deliberately decided in favour of
this looping variation. So far, the ride has been
very popular with the public, and the owner is
highly satisfied. Up until now, the "High Energy
2”, painted in bright yellow and pink, has mainly
appeared at events in the north-west of
France; among other venues; in Dieppe,
Amiens, and Le Havre.

SHOW TIME
“Show Time” from the Haas
family is a classic show booth
Text: Rolf Orschel
Photos: Nils Benthien
Having been eagerly awaited for a long time,
the time had finally come in late August this
year for the showman family Haas from
Munich to present their new attraction, the
classic show booth “Show Time”, at the
Karpfham Fest in Bavaria.
With their new acquisition, the Haas family - the
name of which has been closely tied to the
"show” sector for decades - intends to revive a
fairground tradition that has almost disappeared
from German fairgrounds. For this reason, special
importance has been attached to providing a
modern appearance to the show booth as well
as a well-groomed appearance for the whole
troupe. During the parade in front of the booth,
the actors and artists are introduced to the visitors
on a rotating platform. The afternoon programme,
lasting some 20 minutes, is entirely focused
on visiting families and includes, among
other highlights, a pirate show with magic tricks
and the "Pappers n Ghost” illusion, in which a
man vanishes into thin air on stage. On the
darkened stage, different objects equipped with
LEDs are juggled, and for the finale a fire-eater
offers various performances with flaming torches
and fire-breathing. The evening performance
is suitable for adults only as it also includes a
"Striptease”. After its première in Lower Bavaria,
the "Show Time” was presented at the Oldenburg
Kramermarkt. The show booth has a 20 m
front and is 16 m deep.

Since the beginning of this season, a third Funhouse
attraction has been added to the Walkthrough
constructions “Fun Street” and “Aqua
Velis” from Lutz Hofmann from Rudolstadt: the
Labyrinth “Down Town”.
The construction, which celebrated its première at the
Whitsun festival in Plauen, was custom built by the
Dietz Fahrzeugbau firm. Due to its compact measurements,
the attraction has been built on only one trailer,
equipped with an extendable bay. In addition to the
classic glass and mirror labyrinth, a short walkthrough
course with (among others) rolling floors and a rotating
disc is located in the front section of the construction.
As a special feature, visitors to "Down Town” are
handed white cloth gloves before entering the
labyrinth. Moreover, an information screen has been
installed at the upper front of the construction. Technical
data: front 17 m, depth 6 m, height 7 m, 20 kW. ■

Allerheiligenkirmes Soest
The 675 th anniversary of the
Soest Allerheiligenkirmes
will be celebrated from 7 th to
11 th November. While everybody
must decide for themselves
whether or not this
splendid event, replete with
joie de vie and known as the
“largest medieval city fair in
Europe”, is also the best fair
event in Germany, it may well
be incontestable that the
Soest Allerheiligenkirmes is
the most beautiful city-centre
fair in Germany.
Text: Michael Petersen
Photos: Ralf Schmitt, Stadt Soest
The Soest city centre, characterised by its prominent
romantic architecture, provides a fantastic
setting for the ride attractions, ghost rides,
coaster and the Ferris Wheel. The townscape is
dominated by beautiful timber-framed houses,
the town wall, paved streets and alleys, as well
as monumental churches. In addition to the magnificent
setting, the date also plays an important
role in the special ambience of the Allerheiligenkirmes.
At the end of the season, shortly before
the beginning of the Christmas Markets, the
brightly coloured lights of the ride attractions will
change the Soest medieval city centre into a unique
sea of colour and lights even in the late afternoon.
Despite the narrow city centre being full
of nooks and crannies, fairground attractions
can be built up on more than 50,000 square metres.
Some 400 showman operations have been
chosen from about 1,800 applications received.
The selection will once again prove that wellknown
and traditional attractions are held in high
esteem in Soest, with the Marktplatz – the true
heart of the Allerheiligenkirmes – being a very
sensible site.
From this year on, there will be more space available
for the Allerheiligenkirmes, as the area in
front of the railway station will be fully integrated
into the fairground. However, this is no one-off
addition on the occasion of the anniversary. The
station forecourt is to be occupied by fairground
attractions also in the future. Soest aims at retaining
the Allerheiligenkirmes at this size, even
though pending building operations might impede
this plan. Due to construction work at the
old swimming pool area at the "great pond” and
at the old tax office, four large ride attractions
would have to be waived. This loss of space is
countered by the extension to the Soest railway
station. As rides and concession stalls will be
built up on the station forecourt, the bus station
will be relocated to a section of the horse market
area at the Wallberger-Osthofen-Straße, and the
horse market will change sides and be held on
a stretch leading up to the Georg Planke Platz,
where the traction engines will also be displayed
this year. This will be a noticeable enhancement
to the horse market.
The new fairground area will accommodate
three attractive Soest debutantes. In Goetzke’s
"Rocket”, for example, passengers will be taken
high up into the sky and provided with a magnificent
view across the ancient Hanseatic town
– optionally in somersaulting gondolas. Aigner’s
"Parkour” and the "Aprés Ski Party” funhouse
(Fackler) will sensibly round off the selection of
fairground attractions on the station forecourt.
A continuous hit at Soest:
the “Big Monster”

SIND WIR ZU SC
In front of the St. Patrokli
church: “Pirates Adventure”
South of the new area, visitors will encounter
three attractive ride attractions; namely Howey’s
"Happy Sailor” appearing in Soest for the 30 th
time, and located opposite will be the "Breakdance”
from Bonner
and – another debutante
– the large Swing
"Artistico” from Köhrmann.
The "Artistico”
will be positioned at an
angle relative to the
course, thus swinging
into the street above the
visitors’ heads. In the
direction of the Marktplatz
– in front of the
Bunker – the Looping
Swing (von Olnhausen)
will be built up this year.
While the "Burg des
Grauens” from Burghard
will provide a
creepy atmosphere on
last year’s site of the
"Bellevue”, the horse
carousel (Brinksma)
and the Schwarzwald-
Christel will retain their
sites. Moreover, the "Transformer” (Schmidt) will
flip its passengers upside down, and the walled
circuit of the "Super-Hupferl” (Scheidacher),
which enjoys cult status in Soest, will make its
rounds and rise and fall on its usual site.
The aforementioned Marktplatz will be occupied
as follows this year: A regular attraction will be
the Musik Express from Krause. Once again presented
in this area will be Markmann’s "Nessy”,
and Deinert’s "Big Spin” – the fifth novelty for
Soest – will offer a vivid and bouncing ride experience
with ample movements and lighting effects.
With Wingender’s "Air-Crash”, a racy and
high-flying attraction will be placed in the exit
area of the fairground. On the north side of the
St. Petri church visitors will encounter Schäfer’s
"Shake” and Alexander Goetzke’s "Alex Airport”,
and with Ruppert’s "Take Off” being built up on
the south side of St. Petri, a Huss classic will return
after a break of 15 years. In addition to ride
fun, visitors will be able to also take home a piece
of the Allerheiligenkirmes: an ample choice of
merchandising products will once again be
available at the souvenir stall on the usual site in
front of the city hall. Particularly coveted are the
collector pins available only in a limited edition.
The fairground scarves and the cult drink
"Bullenauge” however will certainly also sell like

(subject to change)
hot cakes. The “Pirates Adventure (Schneider)
be placed in front of St. Patrokli church. While
Wendler’s Wave-Swinger will retain its usual site,
the free space at the former swimming pool will
be differently occupied this year. The "Highway
No. 1” dodgem track (J. Schneider) will be built
up on the right-hand side, and the usual dodgem
track site will be occupied by the "Berg und Tal”
coaster (Schneider) this time. The Ferris Wheel
from Willenborg, well-known from the Munich
Oktoberfest, will round off the selection of attractions
in this area. The church St. Maria zur
Wiese will be flanked by Häsler’s "Psychodelic”
and Krameyer’s "Big Monster”, and on the site of
the former tax office, the "Hard Rock” dodgem
track (Schneider) will be built up. On the
Kohlbrink, the "Big Wave” Miami from Milz will be
presented once again, and the "High Impress”
from Oberschelp offering a racy ride experience
will entice the visitors on Wallburgstraße.
On the opening day, the rides will make their
rounds as early as midday – up until the official
opening of the 675 th Allerheiligenkirmes in the
Bayernfesthalle at 2 p.m. without any music,
however. Highlights at the anniversary event will
be the horse market on Thursday and the fireworks
display on Friday. Moreover, Pott’s historic
fair will be held on its usual site opposite the
Marktplatz. One can only hope that the weather
will play the part and that the Soest Allerheiligenkirmes
will prove a great finale for the participating
showmen at the end of an exhausting
season. For some 1 million visitors, the event is
to be a very special experience – a peaceful family
event in a blaze of colour and movement. ■

SPECIAL SECTION
From the opening of the 542 nd
Basle Autumn Fair by the traditional
sounding of the bell in the
spire of the Martinskirche precisely
on the stroke of 12 on 27 th
October, up until 11 th November,
more than one million Swiss and
foreign visitors are expected at
the largest and most traditional
fairground in Switzerland.
Throughout the event, the city
that lies within the three-border
triangle of Switzerland, Germany
and France will once again be
dominated by tempting aromas,
speedy ride attractions and
coasters, as well as the most
abundant selection of goods.

Basle
The city-centre fair, unique in its size and kind,
ranks among the fairgrounds with the highest
turnover in Switzerland and among the largest
and most attractive events of its kind in Europe.
Some five hundred sales stalls, ride and funhouse
attractions, as well as snack booths and
beverage outlets of all kinds built up on seven
fairgrounds and inside the exhibition hall 2, will
once again be offering something for everybody’s
taste. Due to the special charm and flair
of its differing fairgrounds, the Basle Autumn Fair
is highly popular with the Basle citizens. Each
and every fairground has its own concept and
enjoys masses of visitors especially on the weekends.
The Autumn Fair is organised by the City
of Basle. This year, Sabine Horvath and Daniel
Arni from the "Fairs and Market” section at the
foreign relations and marketing department
were once again able to put together an ample
and appealing selection of fairground attractions.
The organisers attach much importance to
the preservation and careful further development
of the traditions of the event. Nevertheless,
they have to keep up with the times and also present
modern attractions in addition to the traditional
at the Basle Autumn Fair. The fairground
attractions, mainly speedy rides, built up on the
Kasernenareal will once again live up to this
aspiration. This year, Anja Goetzke’s "Star Flyer”,
Ramsauer’s "Tagada”, Rodel’s "Discovery”,
"Crazy Mouse” (Ahrend), and H.P. Maier’s giant
Swing "Monster” will be available – with the young
particularly in mind - at this location. They
will be joined by the "X Factory” Miami (Büttiker-
Mathys), a small coaster, a dodgem track, the
"Disco Labyrinth”, the "Mexico” and a Jet Ride.
Among all the seven fairgrounds, the Petersplatz
will offer a very special flair. Families in particular
will be attracted to this fairground by many
sales stalls, culinary delicacies, several kiddie
rides and a Punch and Judy show. The idyllic

INFO
The opening hours: The
Petersplatz fairground will
be opened daily from 11
a.m. to 8 p.m. On Barfüsserplatz,
Münsterplatz
and Kasernenareal, the attractions
will be open from
midday to 10 p.m. from
Sunday to Thursday and
from midday to 11 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday. The
fairgrounds all around the
Basle exhibition grounds
and the exhibition hall will
open their gates from 11
a.m. to 10 p.m. from Sunday
to Thursday and from
11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday
and Saturday. ■
fairground also accommodates the so-called
"Hääfelimäärt”, where "Mucheli”, "Tässli” (bowls
and cups, in the local dialect), coffee mugs and
ceramic ware of all kinds have been sold since
time immemorial. The market, enticing the visitors
to linger and search, will be extended by two
days, and will therefore be open up until Tuesday
evening (November 13 th ).
From the Barfüsserplatz visitors reach the Münsterplatz,
the actual origin of the Basle Herbstmesse,
in just a couple of minutes. In addition to
the "Expo Star” Ferris Wheel from Bruch – offering
a magnificent view across the city – visitors
will be able to enjoy Häseli’s "Horror House”,
Fahrenschon’s Wellenflug, and Buchser’s "Snow
Dream” and a dodgem track, as well as a slide
and two kiddie rides in this area. After a short
walk from the Münsterplatz, visitors will reach the
Barfüsserplatz in the city centre, known as
"Seibi” or "Barfi” to the citizens, where Wegener’s
"Beach Jumper” – making a first-time appearance
in Basle – the "Freestyle” Miami and a number
of kiddie rides will entice young and old fans
alike. Due to the building of a new exhibition hall
by the MCH Group, the Basle Autumn Fair will
once again be faced by the problem of limited
space. After all, the entire building site and the
exhibition hall 3 already demolished will be no
longer available. As a result, the area left next to
the exhibition tower will accommodate only the
"Polyp” (Rodel), the Miami "Take Off” (Marti), and
the "Space Roller” (Jolliet), as well as some
snack booths. The hall fair will take place inside
the adjoining exhibition hall 2 with its circular
open area this year, with the "Power Tower 2”
Freefall Tower from Schneider being built up on
an unusual site towering over the open space.
Moreover, younger visitors will be able to enjoy
seven different kiddie rides inside the exhibition
hall. With the "Psycho” Funhouse (Bergmann) –
the second novelty for Basle – the "Calypso”
(Läuppi), Senn’s "Swing Up”, the "Tower”
(Rodel), H.P. Maier’s "Big Flight”, a dodgem
track, and two kiddie rides visitors will also encounter
an ample entertainment contingent on
the oldest exhibitions grounds of the Autumn
Fair, the Rosental Gardens. It is particularly
noticeable that the list of represented rides will
not include any "Breakdance” attraction this
time. The variety of ride attractions and coasters
unrivalled in Switzerland on all the fairgrounds
and inside the exhibition hall will be rounded off
by an ample and colourful mix of all kinds of concession
stalls, snack and drink booths presenting
culinary delicacies, as well as an impressive
array of confectionery.

PRÉMIÈRE
Première in
Mannheim: “Der Burner”
Manuel Zinnecker’s Loop
Fighter “Der Burner” has
gone into operation; the sister
ride of “The King” (Claudia
& Andreas Zinnecker,
Manuel’s parents) celebrated
its première at the Mannheim
Oktobermess. Apart from its
special ride experience, “Der
Burner” makes quite an impression
- just as does “The
King” - above all due to a
clever lighting technology
and high-quality equipment.

Der Burner
Much to Manuel Zinnecker’s regret, the première
of the ride built by Technical Park at
the Bad Kreuznach Jahrmarkt in August had to
be postponed as it still had to be approved by
the TÜV. As a result visitors to the Mannheim
Oktobermess were able to enjoy a ride première.
Already one day before the opening on
28 th September, "Der Burner” – the second
"Loop Fighter” in Germany – was officially
inaugurated on the Messplatz by showman
pastor Martin Fuchs in the presence of
many guests including relatives, colleagues,
friends and fans. After the inauguration
and before the première ride, for which
also pastor Fuchs took a place in one of the 16
carbon-fibre seats, Manuel Zinnecker (based
in Munich) baptised his new attraction with a
bottle of champagne. Afterwards, all the participants
were provided with food and drinks at
the neighbouring swing grill. "Der Burner” differs
from "The King” not only in its name, but

spotlights installed all
around the "Der Burner”,

prove highly effective.
The turnstiles mounted at the two entrances

platform as well as at the exit of the ride
virtually supervise the loading of the 16 seats
with passengers, thus speeding up embarkation
and disembarkation. Radio remote control
results in a smooth and time-saving build up
and dismantling of the ride supervised from the
outside. While it takes about one day to build
up the ride, dismantling requires only six hours.
As is the case with the sister ride, "The King”,
a professional website and Facebook page is
also available for the "Burner”. For each of the
two "Loop Fighters”, a song has been com-

venues on the tour schedule are Bergheim
and an appearance at a Christmas Market.
With the Loop Fighter duo "Der Burner”
(Manuel Zinnecker) and "The King” (Claudia &
Andreas Zinnecker) the Zinnecker family are
very well prepared for the coming season, in
which they will certainly liven up the ride contingent
at many a top event.

at the subsequent venue in Stuttgart, the attraction
had to do without any backflash elements
as well as two large Roman-style figures
in Frankfurt. Remco Kriek ordered the attraction
at Mondial already a good year ago. The height
of the attraction as well as its capacity of 20
passengers were important arguments for the
owner’s decision in favour of this new purchase.

in Germany and in the Netherlands. ■

SPECIAL
OSCAR BRUCH JUN.
The takeover of the “Expo
Star” Ferris Wheel, announced
by Oscar Bruch Jnr. in the
Kirmes & Park Revue in
March 2010 has now been
completed. Now, Oscar
Bruch surprises the industry
with a new coup: From 21 st
November this year (to 20 th
January 2013), another Ferris
Wheel will make its rounds
under Bruch management at
a prominent venue in Düsseldorf:
the “Wheel of Vision”.

The “Wheel of Vision” under
Bruch management in Lyon,
France in Winter 2010/11
It is a construction from ride type "R60” from
Bussink – and structurally identical to the "Bellevue”
Ferris Wheel from Bruch. With the "Wheel
of Vision”, Bruch has already gained experience
during an appearance at the Christmas Market
in Lyon, France, in 2010/2011. Back then he had
hired the construction, now he has purchased it.
"This Ferris Wheel is planned for special appearances,”
said Oscar Bruch. And the first will be
this year: "From 21 st November to 20 th January,
we will present the ‘Wheel of Vision’ in the very
heart of Düsseldorf as a special attraction for the
Düsseldorf citizens, visitors and not least tourists
– as a luminescent star in the medieval city centre,”
announced Bruch. The Ferris Wheel will be
built up with its front facing the Schlossturm –
and even on the second opening day (Thursday,
22 nd November) it will be part of an important
media and social event: The "Bambi” Award presentation
taking place in the capital city of North-
Rhine Westphalia on this very day. After this, the
Ferris Wheel will remain on this site up until 20 th
January – and thus benefit from the high visitor
attendance in the Düsseldorf city centre during
the pre-Christmas period. During this time, the
"Wheel of Vision” will fit perfectly into the city-
44

scape due to its neutral white
paintwork. Moreover, Düsseldorf
will be the first venue in a
German metropolis for this
construction, which has already
been presented as a tourist
attraction in Australia, and
in Birmingham, England and at
the Christmas Market in Lyon,
France, beforehand. And once
the winter appearance in Düsseldorf
is over? "After a short
winter break, the ‘Wheel of Vision’
will make an extended appearance
in an East European
metropolis in spring,” answered
Oscar Bruch. And what are
the plans for the other two
Bruch Ferris Wheels? The
"Expo Star” and the "Bellevue”
will undertake their regular tour
in the coming season, the two
constructions also had a "winter
engagement” previously.
While the "Bellevue” will be
built up for a special appearance
at Europa-Park in Rust
during the winter, opening
times (24 th November 2012 to
6 th January 2013) – as was the
case in the last few years – the
"Expo Star” Ferris Wheel will
enter a completely new terrain,
In Lyon, the Ferris Wheel was also used as an oversized
screen for various presentations

Vision” in Lyon, 2010

also this year
after the Autumn Fair in Basle. It will be built up
in the centre of the Christmas Market on the Platz
der Republik in Metz, France from 21 st November
2012 to 6 th January 2013. By the way, this
summer the "Expo Star” Ferris Wheel has been
a special attraction at the large music festival
"Tomorrowland” in Bom near Antwerp, where it
was hired by "Brussels Airlines” and equipped
with the company logos.

COMEBACK
Returned to Germany:
the “Phaenomenon”
A surprising German comeback
has recently been celebrated by
the 3-D-Cyber-Show “Phaenomenon”:
Showman Alexander
Schramm from Frankfurt has
purchased the ride, which had
toured under the management of
the Kunze firm before being sold
abroad, and was presented at the
Vilbeler Markt in Bad Vilbel for
the first time.

Alook back on the history of the attraction: In
1999, the "Phaenomenon” from the Kunze firm
from Moritzenburg/Auer celebrated its première in
Kamenz, before it was presented at the Wiesenmarkt
in Eisleben and at the Allerheiligenkirmes in
Soest, where it was officially inaugurated. After a
number of (quite successful)
years, the Kunze firm parted
with the attraction – the new
home of which was to be the
Czech Republic, where it was
also presented at the large spring Volksfest event
in Prague. When Alexander Schramm learnt about
the Czech owner’s intention to sell the attraction
this year, he inspected the construction on site and
finally a deal was struck. Around Easter, the "Phaenomenon”
was transported to Germany and

in Bad Vilbel in the summer.
All in all, the construction
was in good shape at the time of
takeover. Nevertheless the new
owner had carried out several
improvements and changes. All
the lighting elements for example,
were exchanged and replaced
by an LED-light system.
Moreover, new flags were made
and the water, air, and wind effects
were brought up to the latest
standards. The "Phaenomenon”
is now presented as a "4-
D-Show” accommodating 31 visitors.
There are different films to
choose from, and 3-D-spectacles
are handed out to the visitors
when they pay for their
tickets at the paybox. The première
at Bad Vilbel was followed
by guest appearances in Bad

CRANGE KIRMES
The Crange Fair 2012
Text: Michael Petersen

For the second time, the Crange Fair opened its
gates on an early Thursday evening. As visitors
rushed to the Crange fairground from the very
opening right up until the final minute, the organiser
and about 500 participating showmen
registered some 4.4 million visitors in the close. It
has to be remembered however, that due to a successful
suit filed by a single resident, next year’s
Crange Fair can open its gates only on Friday
again.
Thursday was very well accepted once again this
year. While the snack booths and beverage outlets in
particular profited from the former "Bürgerabend”, or
Citizen's Night, attendance at the other operations
was quite modest. Considering the high number of
visitors, turnover should have been much higher on
this day. Many of them wanted to find out what Crange
had to offer this year first, which was quite a lot, despite
as many as three cancellations. The show booth
"Zambora” cancelled early on, followed by the major
ride "Flasher” and eventually the new Show Booth
"Show-Time”. With the "Booster Maxxx” (Hoefnagels/Denies)
and the "Fight Club” (Schultz) suitable
replacements could be engaged, however. The
Crange Fair was officially opened in the Bayernfesthalle
on Friday. It was a notable opening – unfortunately
only in a negative sense however! First,
Ralf Jäger, the Interior Minister of North-Rhine Westphalia
welcomed the some 3,000 guests with "Liebe
Hernerinnen und Herner” , or "Dear Herne residents”
– a gaffe which raised a lot of catcalls. The incorporation
into a bigger municipality has not been forgotten
yet! His short address containing unpleasant side-
50

swipes at the Düsseldorf Rheinwiese was not very
convincing either. The situation became even worse,
however, with Gitte Haenning having been engaged
as guest star. Despite being a notable artiste, she is
totally unsuitable for a beer tent. Therefore it was no
wonder that her performance turned out to be such
an absolute bore that numerous guests left the tent.
The moderator Sanftenschneider had to ask the audience
to call for an encore, and against the wishes of
the audience there were even two encores. Moreover,
also negatively noticeable was the fact that the guest
star was sitting on a bar stool during her performance
and had to read much of her oratory. There was no
sign of a party atmosphere at all, while true party
singers performed at other events inside the Bayernfesthalle,
providing for truly merry celebration. However
the worse the opening, the better the Crange Fair
and its ultimate success proved to be, and that is the
more important issue.
The Crange fair procession is one of the highlights at
the largest fair in North-Rhine Westphalia. This year,
the course of the procession was noticeably shortened
as, for security reasons, the festival floats were
no longer allowed to proceed to the Crange gate,
which was the end of a tradition long held dear. This
is a pity - after all, the problems were self-created. Due
to an ever increasing number of groups on foot and
festival floats approved, the festival procession got
out of hand and could hardly be supervised. This year,
a serious accident cast a shadow over the festival procession,
when a horse from the cavalcade shied,
broke free and seriously injured an 82-year-old spectator,
and a nine-year-old boy was slightly injured.
Some 130,000 visitors lined the roadside along the
shortened course and enjoyed the festival floats and
plethora of groups on foot. Thus a noticeably larger
number of visitors came to the festival procession than
in previous years. The advertising measures for the
Crange Fair have always been perfectly organised,
guaranteeing the fair some 4.4 million visitors. Thanks
to an excellent website, the Crange Fair can be experienced
all over the world. This year, even the poster
motif was exceptionally attractive. A smiling child in
front of a ride, trendy colours and all necessary information
left a very positive impression. As the fair passes
are apparently becoming increasingly important,
the "gastronomy pass” (edition: 15,000 pieces) had
already been sold-out before the opening of the fair,
and more than 14,000 "ride passes” were sold. The
fair pass is, however, somewhat subject to controversy,
as on the one hand it results in heavy visitor attendance
even on the weekdays.
On the other hand,
however, it is also something
of a cost/profit burden for the
participating showmen. All in
all, the fairground attractions
presented amounted to a
front length of more than
5,000 metres. The 577 th
Crange Fair was once again
characterised by an ample
variety of attractions from all
sectors. In addition to the fairground,
Crange also offers its
visitors a supporting programme
catering to all age
groups. The financial
strength of the region is much
lower than in other cities. In
the Ruhr region, with its traditionally
high unemployment
rate, one simply has to make
concessions. This is why the
fair passes and also the Family
Day are welcome initia-

and “Devil Rock” (Hanstein)
tives. From the vast number of applications received,
Sabine Marek was once again able to put together a
first-class Crange Fair. Despite the "small number” of
novelties, the ride contingent presented left nothing to
be desired. Nonetheless, the hard-working fairground
director could at least open the newly designed "Panic
Room” Show Booth. Moreover, the "Konga” mega
swing, presented at the Rhein-Herne-Kanal for the first
time, made a very effective appearance at Crange,
just as did the round ride novelty "Voodoo Jumper”
from Hans Otto Schäfer, and the "Fun-Schiff” from the
Schneider family even celebrated its comeback. The
layout of the Crange Fair was harmonious and did not
present any drawbacks. Due to prevailing conditions,
there is very little room to play with, regarding the relocation
of the ride attractions. After all, some sections
of the fairground have little depth, while others are not
able to take the weights due to shafts running beneath
them. Nevertheless, as many changes as possible
were made to give the fairground a novel appearance.
Summary: The Crange Fair 2012 registered a good
4.4 million visitors. In ideal weather, the rides made
their rounds up until well into the night, with fried fish,
beer and fried sausages being heavily consumed.
Most of the showmen were highly satisfied with their
results, and not only due to the beautiful weather. The
prominent marketing campaign in particular resulted
in high visitor attendance. Crange had already recognized
this several years ago, and consequently adjusted
advertising to l'asprit du temps.

GOSLAR
A LOOK BACK
The Osterfeld-fairground in
Goslar
Text & Photos: Uwe Holzmann
From June 29 th to July 8 th 2012, the Schützen and
Volksfest was celebrated in the ancient imperial
city of Goslar in the Harz Uplands.
The "Teststrecke” from the Steiger Achterbahn GmbH
along with the Ferris Wheel from Wilhelm, as well as
another Goslar novelty, the "Konga” from Küchenmeister,
provided in unison a fantastic impression in
the upper rear section of the fairground. In the walkthrough
construction sector, "Freddy’s Company” from
Hofmann-Jehn celebrated its official première in
Goslar, and the "Krumm & Schief-Bau” from Hartmann
also making its first ever appearance at the event was
very well received by the public. Other novelty ride attractions
were the "Devil Dance” from Welte, the "Flipper”
from Splitt which was particularly popular with
young people, while the kiddie Hully Gully "Crazy
Clown” from Arndt magically attracted younger visitors.
The basic choice of ride and funhouse attractions
was well worth seeing. It included the "Top Spin”
(Scheele), "Extrem” (Gebr. Boos), and "Die Krake”,
which made its rounds on a new site for the first time
this year, while Welte’s "Airgate” made a magnificent
visual impression on the traditional Polyp site. Apart
from the "Piraten-Fluss” (Heitmann-Schneider),
"Jaguar-Express” (Ahrend), "Breakdancer” (Dreher &
Vespermann), "Rotor” (Pluschies), "Mäusestadt”
(Brambach), and the dodgem track (Vorlop), an
ample selection of kiddie rides provided a lot of fun for
young and old alike. In addition to these attractions,
excellently presented and operated attractions from
other sectors are presented in Goslar every year. The
large Continental Pick stands "Silbermine” and "Spielhölle
Hongkong” (Kellner) were constantly in heavy demand,
just as was the well-balanced range of games
booths, shooting galleries and pick up trolleys, and the
selection of snack and confectionery booths left nothing
to be desired. The Fichtelmann tent with a good
dozen beverage outlets offering cosy beer gardens
rounded off the cornucopia of attractions. Another
highlight at the traditional event are the large Kram and
Pottmarkt (bric-a-brac market) with some 100 merchants
and the consumer exhibition "SIE + ER” in the
centre of the Osterfeld. As a result, the "Volksfest
Goslar e.V.” and the participating showmen were able
to announce a positive review at the end of the 10-day
Schützen and Volksfest 2012.

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
The 210 th Erbach Wiesenmarkt was held from 20 th
to 29 th July. The largest Volksfest event in South
Hessen entices about half a million visitors.
The successful mixture of a Volksfest event, a market
and South Hessen fair offers something for everyone’s
taste. Moreover, numerous highlights and an
ample cultural programme are offered throughout the
event. Apart from the official opening, the long
festival procession on the first Saturday, the three-day
horse jumping event, the kiddie games festival, the
themed fireworks display (this time with a Spanish
theme) on the first Sunday and the brilliant fireworks
display on Wednesday number among the highlights
of the event. Some 50 showman and gastronomic operations
were built up on the approximately 60,000-
square-metre market area, and 200 market merchants
offered their goods for sale. The Ferris Wheel,
built up in the upper section of the festival area, once
again provided its passengers with a magnificent
view. The traditional dodgem track site of many years
standing was occupied by the "Wellenflug” from
Nickel this time. It was joined by Spangenberger’s
"Taiga Jet”, "Aqua Labyrinth” from Markmann, and
Schramm’s "Drop Zone”. Apart from Zinnecker’s "The
King”, visitors were enticed by the "Spuk” Ghost
Coaster (Sipkema-Lutjens), the "Crazy Mouse”
(Janßen), and Spangenberger’s "Breakdance” as
well as the relocated dodgem track to the lower section
of the festival area. Additionally, a large number
of beer gardens, beer tents and Becker’s "Almhütte”
invited visitors to linger and enjoy.
Fairground director, Peter Breitenbach, once again
succeeded in appealingly laying out the festival area
and effectively placing the individual attractions.
Some of the showmen were able to achieve a modest
increase in turnover.

“With new wind in the sails for the premier league
of Volksfest events” – the demanding motto of the
organiser of the “largest Schützenfest in the
world” in Hannover, the 483 rd event was celebrated
from June 29 th to July 8 th .
True to this motto, the "Verein Hannoversches
Schützenfest e.V.” with its General Manager Klaus
Timaeus and fairground director, Günter Arand, had
put together a first class fairground on the 10-hectare
area at Bruchmeisterallee.
As a result, the "Artistico” (Köhrmann), "Voodoo
Jumper” (Schäfer), "Olympia-Looping” (Barth),
"Break-Dance No.1” (Kinzler), the Caterpillar Ride
"Love Dream” (Rasch), "Freddy's Circus” (Zinnecker),
the family coaster "Berg & Tal” (Schneider) , "Burg
des Grauens” (Burghard), "Hot Shot” (Dölle), "Hip
Hop Jumper” (Greier), "The Game” (Weber), and the
"Wildwasser” water ride (Meyer-Steiger) made either
a first-time appearance, or returned to Hannover after
a break of several years. For the second time, the
"Roue Parisienne” Ferris Wheel (Burghard-Kleuser)
offered visitors a magnificent view over the fairground
in open and closed round gondolas. The selection of
attractions was rounded off by regular participants
from all sectors. The centre of the fairground, the circular
section with four large beer tents, a music circus,
and the Gay-People-Tent once again attracted
the highest visitor attendance. Thanks to an extensive
advertising campaign and the huge range of parties
offered, this area was heavily crowded throughout
the event, while many a showman enterprise and
even spectacular novelties were grateful for every
single passenger or visitor. Positively noticeable are
the organiser’s efforts to attract a higher number of
visitors to the Schützenplatz by extended advertising
and additional events. At the end of the Schützenfest,
those responsible for the event were thus able to announce
the following review: "Lüttje Lage, a traditional
local concoction created by mixing beer with
schnapps, party music and speedy ride attractions
have once again succeeded in enticing an increased
number of visitors to the capital of Lower Saxony this
year”. According to the city administration, some 1.3
million people - about 300,000 up on the previous
year - visited the Hannover Schützenfest, which
closed its gates on Sunday. The organisers’ ambitious
target of two million
visitors was not met,
however. Insiders will be
able to recognise
whether or not the
largest Schützenfest in
Hannover has now actually
'arrived' in the premier
Volksfest league,
once the list of participants
at the Schützenfest
2013 has been published
in the early
summer of next year. ■

52 TH GERMAN-AMERICAN VOLKSFEST BERLIN
Impressions of the
52 nd German-American Volksfest
in Berlin on the fairground
on Heidestraße
Text & Photos: Ralf Schmitt
For the second time – after its première last
year – the traditional German-American Volksfest
in Berlin was held on the fairground at the
Heidestraße, not far from the main station.
It was the 52 nd staging of the event (27 th July to 19 th
August), and the first organised by Thilo-Harry
Wollenschlaeger, who has replaced
the Purwin/Simmons
firm as organiser. Considering
the short-term change of organisers,
it was quite a feat for the
experienced Volksfest organiser
Wollenschlaeger to put together
an attractive fairground
with ride attractions, coasters,
concession stalls and the American
themed section at short
notice. The only attraction missing on the fairground
was a Ferris Wheel, but apart from that,
visitors were able to enjoy, among others, the
"High Explosive”, "Magic” "Breakdance”, "Schlittenfahrt”,
"Melodie Star”, "Hyper X”, "Geisterstadt”,
"Verrücktes Hotel”, and the "Walzerbahn”, heralded
as the Berlin cult ride in promotional media. In
the American section, Thilo-Harry Wollen-

schlaeger surprised the public with occupancy
and visual changes, as well as a new layout. The
large stage offered a live programme changing
daily and was the focus of the event, along with
food and drinks from the USA, bull riding and
many more features Berlin visitors have known
and treasured at their "Amifest” for many years.
However, many visitors missed the "Bingo” tent,
which used to be a fixture of this event. The bus
shuttle service set up from the main station to the
fairground, the bus stop for which had been relocated
from the centre of the fairground (last year)
towards the car park, worked smoothly. On paying
the entrance fee of 2 Euro, visitors were handed
vouchers of the same value. Every Wednesday
was the designated Family Day with fares reduced
by half at all ride attractions.
The change of organisers without a doubt resulted in
an improved overall image, particularly with regard
to, among other factors, cleanliness and no yawning
gaps on the fairground. The organiser registered
more than 500,000 visitors at the event, which regrettably
did suffer from poor weather on the most
important days however. According to a number of
showmen, results fell far short of expectations. ■

Every year on the third weekend in July, the Seefest
in Röbel (this year from 20 th to 22 nd July) attracts
many visitors from the surrounding region to the
small town on the western bank of the Müritz. After
the Volksfest in Malchow and the Müritzfest in
Waren/ Müritz, the event is the last venue in the
regional showmen's Müritz tour in Mecklenburg-
Western Pomerania.
The highlights of the Seefest are the Neptune and
Kiddie Festival on Friday, the marketer mile in the fishermen's
village on Saturday and Sunday, and the traditional
'morning pint' event on Sunday. The festival is
accompanied by various musical and dancing events,
and visitors are able to enjoy a fairground built up on
the harbour. After a stroll through the town, passing the
large number of stalls along the marketer and handicraft
mile - the displays of which invited the public to
linger and buy - visitors finally reached the fairground.
As was the case during previous years, the two Rostock
showmen, Jens Hamberger and Rainer Taube,
once again succeeded in engaging attractive operations
and laying out an appealing fairground. Rides
presented were the "Spider” (Meyer), "Breakdance”
(Th. Engelbrecht) and the "Star Drive” dodgem track
(S. Engelbrecht), as usual besieged by the younger
visitors to the Seefest. Moreover, the "Star of Berlin”
Ferris Wheel (Lorenz) offered a magnificent view
across the Müritz.
While the "Tornado” coaster (Domke) and the Simulator
(Walkhoefer) were highly popular with families,
younger visitors were able to enjoy the nostalgic kiddie
carousel (Harndt) and the kiddie carousel from
Probst. The concession stall sector was represented
by a shooting gallery, a Continental Pick Stand, a Graba-Treat
Chamber, a dart throwing booth, a hook-aduck,
and a ball throwing booth. Additionally, snack
booths served not only fried sausages and regional
specialities but also international delicacies, such as
crêpes, baguettes and culinary specialities from Asia.
Apart from the 3-D fireworks display on Friday evening,
visitors could also enjoy the classic fireworks display
on late Saturday evening.

In at times midsummer temperatures,
the town festival in
Baden (17 th to 26 th August)
brought the showmen good to
very good returns.
In the principal town of the
Baden district in the canton of
Aargau a large Volksfest event is
celebrated only every five years.

A LOOK BACK
The terrace restaurant
at Burg Stein was built for the
town festival with enormous
effort
While the "Badenfahrt” is celebrated in years ending
with 7, the smaller version, the town festival, is
always held in the years ending with 2. Nonetheless,
most residents call this festival "kleine Badenfahrt”,
as they cannot get used to the name "town
festival”. This year’s town festival once again impressively
demonstrated that the Baden festivals in
Switzerland are unparalleled – it was truly a festival
of the superlative. The organisation committee in
charge went to great lengths to change the whole
city into a huge fairground. With enormous effort a
restaurant with a spacious terrace was added to the
Burg Stein castle looming enthroned high above
the town. The material required for this wooden construction
had to be transported by helicopter to the
construction site high up in the skies; a spectacle
watched by many spectators from the town. Moreover,
countless stages and "Beizli”, as the original
catering tents and booths are called in Switzerland,
were put up throughout the town and on the fairgrounds.
It goes without saying that a proper Lunapark
also belongs to a festival like this. The attractions
built up on the three fairgrounds came
from all over Switzerland and Germany. To guarantee
a smooth build up, they had to take turns at
arriving at the somewhat small fairgrounds. The
Ferris Wheel (Boos), built up in front of the district
building, offered its passengers a magnificent view
across the medieval town centre. Also placed in this
location was the small "Dragon” coaster from Philippin-Lang,
which clearly benefited from its direct
proximity to the Ferris Wheel. On the site in front of
the Ländlischulhaus school building that was very
well frequented by visitors, the "Original-Wiener-
Prater-Zweistock-Geisterbahn” from Steiner was
the focus of interest. The nostalgic two-storey Ghost
Ride was awoken from its twenty-year beauty sleep
some time ago and thoroughly restored in true-tooriginal
form. Its revival, anxiously awaited in
Baden, exceeded all expectations.
Further attractions presented at this location were
the Funhouse "Freddy´s Circus” from Zinnecker,
Läuppi´s "Calypso”, and several kiddie rides,
games booths, as well as snack booths and beverage
outlets. In the area between the Ländlischulhaus
and the Ländliwiese, the "Maxximum” (Jolliet),
the "Big Flight” (H.P. Maier) and the coaster "Xenox”
(Bauer) provided a lot of action. Moreover, visitors
were able to enjoy the "Crazy Run” Alpine Bob
(Spengler), the "Südseewelle” Miami (Corbiére-
Stammler), the "Disco-Labyrinth” (Zambon-Harder),
and the "Crazy Cars” dodgem track (Haeseli-
Schaad), as well as a number of games booths,
snack booths, and beverage outlets in this area.
Compared to the "Badenfahrt” five years ago, the
Lunapark section of the Baden town festival was
smaller, as no attractions were built up on the Wetting
side. Nonetheless, visitors were of the opinion
that a selection of fairground attractions as appealing
as at this year’s town festival has not been
presented in Baden for a long time.

ancient Galloper from Jürgen Seyfart,
a much-admired novelty wooden caravan,
and a fairground organ from
showman family Henn. Moreover, a
number of showman attractions that
have appeared at the Karlsruhe markets
throughout the past 100 years were
displayed on large photo walls in an

President Albert Ritter
ESU-Chairmanship discusses showman themes in Leuven
The ESU-Chairmanship with the new President of the Belgian Showman Association La Défense des Forains Belges (DFB) Walter Dotremont (front row, 3rd f.r.)
Following an invitation issued by the Belgian
Showman Association La Défense
des Forains Belges, the chairmanship of
the European Showman Union met together
on the 10th September 2012 in Belgian
Leuven for a working session.
The ESU-representatives from the Netherlands,
Austria, Germany and Belgium held
a meeting at the same time as the traditional
Leuven fair in the council hall of the historic
Town Hall. To begin with, President
Albert Ritter bid a warm welcome to newly
voted President of the Belgian Showman
Association, Walter Dotremont, to the ESU
circle.
President Ritter informed the chairmanship
about an interview he had at the beginning
of August 2012 with German television
magazine daheim + unterwegs. At the time,
Albert Ritter had the possibility to outline
the position and demands of the German
and European showmen, pertaining to
current themes such as safety on the
Volksfest.
Subsequently the participants discussed
the employment situation on the Volksfests,
and the varying VAT rates in the ESU
member countries. In Spain for instance,
the tax rate has been increased from 8 to
25 percent due to the economic crisis.
Chairmanship conference in the council hall
of the Town Hall of Leuven
This example shows, according to President
Ritter, just how important recognising
the traditional European Volksfest as immaterial
cultural asset is. The chairmanship
signalized its support for its Spanish
colleagues.

Pope Benedict XVI receives ESU-Delegation
Many Volksfests are of Christian origin,
which is also reflected in their names. And
so for example the popular Münster Volksfest
"Send" is a derivative of "Synode", a term
from earlier Christian historic law that describes
a compilation of Christian matters.
And even the term "Kirmes" refers to a
church Mass or the consecration of a church,
or original religious festivals on the occasion
of the dedication/consecration of a Christian
house of worship.

A privilege is being bestowed on the European
Showman Union and the European
showman industry: within the frames of a
pilgrimage to Rome, a delegation of European
showmen will be granted an audience
with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican on the
1 st December 2012
European showmen have already been
granted audiences at the Vatican twice: in
February 1960 by Pope John XXIII and in 1983
by Pope John-Paul II. A citation from Pope
John XXIII has been put on record, in which
he impressively described in just a few words
what constitutes a Volksfest: "There is not a
flower bed that is too good not to have a carousel
built over it."
In 1983 Pope John-Paul II granted an audience
to ESU-President Harry Wollenschlaeger
For ESU-President Albert Ritter, the invitation
to Rome is "recognition of the centuries
old bonding between the Church and showmen,
as well as the traditional Volksfest and
church festivals in Europe."
Showman Chaplain, Father Heinzpeter Schönig,
was granted a special audience with a delegation
of showmen and circus operators by Pope John XXIII
on the 3 rd February 1960.

COASTER
A roll on its own axis
in the lofty heights is the
optical highlight of this
attraction
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom,
formerly known as Six Flags
Marine World, is a theme park
located at the edge of the Napa
Valley wine country in the town
of Vallejo, at the very northern tip
of San Francisco Bay in California.
The park, which originally
opened as a wildlife park with
animal attractions such as dolphin
and killer whale shows,
gradually became a theme park
with rides in the late 1990s, when
Six Flags took over management.

The 12-seat train is
accelerated by an LIM-drive
Superman
And indeed, for a while, the park boasted many
new and innovative rides, such as the floorless
B&M coaster “Medusa”, the incredible “Roar”
wooden coaster from Great Coasters International,
and the Intamin Impulse Coaster “Vertical Velocity”.
But with the attacks of 911 in September of
2001, the bust in the IT-sector in nearby Silicon Valley,
and the consequential catastrophe for the leisure
and tourism industries, further developments of
theme park attractions in Northern California came
to a screeching halt.
Undeniably, it’s been a very quiet and dreary few
years for theme park visitors living in Northern California,
as the last really large coaster was erected
there almost a full decade ago. It was back in 2003
when the former Marine World added the “Zonga”
four-loop coaster by German ride manufacturer
Anton Schwarzkopf to its arsenal of attractions. But
even this coaster was nothing new, as it had made
its debut as the “Thriller” on the German fairground
circuit many years earlier in 1986. Yet, even though
“Zonga” was truly a thrilling attraction, and despite
some modifications to its track course in order to
reduce its intensity, the park shut it down and
moved it to Mexico after only one year of operation
(where the annual La Feria de San Marcos in
Aguascalientes takes place). From 2008 it was
replaced by the exciting Spinning Coaster “Pandemonium”
(originally “Tony Hawk’s Big Spin”) from
Gerstlauer on the same site.
The dismantling of large attractions was also a topic
at rival park, California’s Great America, at the
southern end of San Francisco Bay: over the past
10 years the Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop “Greased
Lightnin”, the Vekoma Flying Coaster “Stealth”, and
the Vekoma Boomerang “Invertigo” all had to go.
So it’s been a long time that a major, new coaster
was constructed in northern California.
And of all things it had to be the lastly erected track
attraction in the region, the Spinning Coaster from
Gerstlauer, which had to make way for the new
looping attraction “Superman Ultimate Flight”, from
American manufacturer Premier Rides. Placed next
to the wooden coaster “Roar” at the park’s end but
distinctly visible from the park entrance and the
72

frontage road, “Superman” doesn’t have much to
offer in terms of artistic design, but instead a whole
lot more in the matter of thrill. The ride construction
itself, painted in the typical red, gold and blue
colours that Superman is known for the world over,
is nothing less than intimidating, with the train
performing a violent balancing act on the 150 foot
construction.
Visitors arrive at the entrance plaza to “Superman
Ultimate Flight” located directly behind “Roar”. A
large two-dimensional sign showing Superman,
functions as the entrance to the ride’s queue. The
queue itself performs the standard zigzag course
until it leads guests through the loading station of
the former “Pandemonium” Spinning Coaster.
Along the way, villains await guests on additional
two-dimensional sign boards, with
the ever so imposing structure of
the ride and a giant Superman
symbol standing high above the
bystanders.
Once inside the station building of
the new coaster, one immediately
reaches the ride platform in the dark
interiors. There, a train for 12 passengers
(2 cars with 3 rows of 2 seats
each) is waiting to load. The open
seat design is further enhanced by
the fact that riders are strapped into
their seats merely by a lap bar with
ankle restraints. Although the upholstery
of the seats is hard, the ride
feels comfortable and smooth
throughout its course.
With the launch tunnel straight ahead, riders wait
full of anticipation for the train to be propelled by
the ride’s LIM. The first forward launch outside the
station lets the train climb the first hill for only a short
distance. The train falls backwards into the station,
where the LIMs kick in once again to shoot the train
backwards to the top of a non-inverting loop. This
is an intense experience, and one of the best in the
ride, as riders experience a tremendous amount of
airtime while the train twists around its own axis,
shooting backwards up the non-inverted loop. The
train once again falls back towards the ground –
now forwards – and is accelerated by the LIMs in
the launch tunnel one last time, before the train
races up the vertical hill to a height of 150 feet. The
upward turn and also the tight curvature of the track
Park Manager Dale
Kaetzel opens the new coaster
73

The description “Non-
Inverted Loop” had already been
used by Maurer Rides, the innovator
of this unusual element,
but however this sequence
should actually be correctly
described as a “Non-Inversion
Loop” – in other words a looping
without an inversion
at the top create intense moments of airtime – and
that in a train with only lap bars!
Coming almost to a stop at the highest point of the
ride, the train just manages the peak to then slowly
pass through an upside down Heart-Line Roll, with
riders resting all the weight of their bodies into the
safety of their lap bars. The sensation of this moment
is similar to that offered on a Maurer & Söhne
“Sky Wheel” coaster. After passing the heart-line
roll, the train travels through the magnetic brakes,
with the track seemingly ending straight ahead.
Just seconds later however, the train falls violently
down the tallest drop of the ride. Vertically, the train
rotates on its own axis, and upon reaching the
lowest point of the drop, immediately enters into the
non-inverting loop. After a final beyond-vertical
drop to exit the loop, the train passes again through
the station again and climbs the initial hill slightly
one last time, before the train gently returns to the
station in a backwards motion.
74

One could also describe
the layout as two non-inverted
loops, with a built-in Heartline
Roll at the highest point
Following both Maurer constructions
at Universal Studios Orlando
and at the new Italian Rainbow
MagicLand, this is just the
third coaster with a non-inverted
loop – as it is, common park visitors
could well suppose that
from an optical point of view, the
“Superman Ultimate Flight” is an
update of Maurer’s “SkyWheel”
coaster.
According to Jim Seay, President
of Premier Rides, Six Flags Discovery
Kingdom wanted an
attraction that was very iconic
and provided a high level of thrill.
But as with many of the more
mature theme parks, finding
open space for new attractions is
always a challenge and requires
extensive analysis to come up
with a maximum impact layout
that perfectly fits the site. During
the opening day events, Six
Flags Discovery Kingdom Park
President Dale Kaetzel addressed the crowd, stating
“Superman Ultimate Flight” would be the mustexperience
attraction in Northern California. Rightly
so we may add, as it offers nonstop thrills despite
its short circuit and ride time of only
45 seconds. Just imagine this ride
type with a longer track layout that
allows for multiple trains for higher
capacities. Integrated into a heavily
themed environment with landscaping,
it would make this ride even
more of a winner. We give it two
thumbs up.
With the introduction of Superman,
the race for building thrilling rides in
Northern California finally seems to
be on again. Indeed, one additional
ride has already been confirmed for
rivalling California’s Great Adventure
Theme Park from Cedar Fair. Starting
in 2013, guests there will have the opportunity
to experience rustic thrills
on a long-delayed project for a new
wooden coaster.

parks for the European
Star Awards; in the background

and the exhibition halls
It’s not only the large parks such
as Disneyland, PortAventura
and Europa-Park, but also the
countless parks that are family
owned in regional areas, which
turn around large amounts of
money in order to draw more
than 145 million visitors annually.
The over 300 theme parks in Europe
invested more than 400 million
Euro in 2012, and it appears
that 2013 will see a similar investment
amount. The European
amusement branch alone spends
an annual estimated 8.6 billion
Euro, and employs around
50,000 people – a whole lot of impressive
numbers that speak for
a professional award dedicated
explicitly to the European theme
park industry, at long last.

European Star Award
This year’s Euro Attractions Show in Berlin was,
with over 360 exhibitors from 80 countries, the
largest and most successful in its young history,
and took place only for the third time in Germany
following Düsseldorf (2002) and Munich (2008).
And for the first time, Europe’s leading trade
magazine Kirmes & Park Revue presented the
independent European Star Award – an award
honoring the successful European theme park
industry.
An international team of experts voted rankings in
10 different categories, which acknowledged the
efforts within the European theme park branch,
and brought attention to entrepreneurial courage
and exceptional innovations.
For the expert ballots this year, we were able to win
the attention of the following personalities: Dr. h.c.
Werner Stengel (founder Stengel GmbH, Germany),
Dr. Dieter Brinkmann (University Bremen,
Applied Leisure Science and IFKA e.V., Germany),
76

Francis Stokkel (Project Development LeisureCert,
USA/Netherlands), Victor Cavaller (O-partners,
and earlier Thinkwell Europe, Spain), Stefan
Zwanzger (The Theme Park Guy, VAE), Dr. H. Jürgen
Kagelmann (Profil Verlag, Germany), Jochen
Peschel (Patent Attorney, Germany), Dr. Sacha
Szabo (Cultural Scientist, Germany) as well as our
authors Matteo Crepaldi (Italy), Olaf Esser (Germany),
Marcus Gaines (Great Britain), Tim Herre
(Germany), Wolfgang Payer (Austria), Stefan
Rothaug (Taiwan), Marc Spies (Germany), Karl
Ruisinger (KPR), Ralf Schmitt (KPR) und Frank
Lanfer (KPR). More personal data can be found in
our EAS-Special.
The European Star Award is as independent as our
monthly trade magazine, and can therefore be
considered as opinion forming. For this reason it
was most important for us to have a clear and
honest voting method: each member of the trade
jury could vote in each category 3, 2, and 1 star(s)
for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places for eligible candidates.
The stars were then only counted by our company
– and the winner was the theme park or alternatively
the attraction with the most points.
Choices could be made from all theme parks
throughout the whole of Europe including Russia
and Turkey. The minimal criterion was that at least
one ride attraction had to be selected. Experience
worlds with a representative or museum character
such as Autostadt, Zoo Hannover, or Puy du Fou
were not up for selection.
In the three main categories “Europe’s Best Park”,
“Europe’s Best Family Park” and “Europe’s
Best Water Park” there had to be focus on the
following criteria: attractions, attractiveness,
landscaping, friendliness, cleanliness, meals/
refreshments, and value for money.
The festive presentation of prizes took place on
the first day of the exhibition in Berlin. Exclusive
handmade glass sculptors were made for the
first prize winners, and we would like to take
this opportunity to congratulate all five best
parks of Europe once again!
In 2013 we will be conducting another balloting
for the second European Star Award at the end
of the main season. Are you impartial and
objective, do you know the European park
scene, and are you interested in being part of
our jury next year? If so, then please contact:

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST THEME PARKS
EUROPA-PARK
For those who already know the Europa-Park, this
award comes as no surprise. There’s not another
park that can be defined by its innovations and
willingness to invest, its family led forthrightness, as
well as its impressive thematic and architectural image
in Europe.
Additionally the five park-owned theme hotels make
Europa-Park a top class multiple-day resort. Europa-
Park has a large array of attractions, and with that
caters to the taste of all target groups. Moreover, the
choice of themes used, relate the cultures of various
countries to visitors.
■
EFTELING
This year, the famous Dutch park
celebrates its 60 th anniversary.
And since ever Efteling stands for
fairytales, fun and entertainment
for the whole family, as well as
breathtaking ride attractions for the
younger public, some of which do
not exist a second time. The thematic
implementation at Efteling
can only be described as spectacular,
and the themed vacation
resort Bosrijk as amazing. ■
DISNEYLAND PARK PARIS
Naturally the French Disney
dependance is not missing,
when it’s all about the best theme
parks in Europe. There’s no other
park that has a brand name as
strong as Disneyland, and no other
park has so many satisfied visitors
as in the land of children’s dreams.
No wonder then that the Disneyland
Resort has also been awarded
first place in the category of
family parks.
■
90

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST FAMILY PARKS
DISNEYLAND PARK PARIS
There’s no doubt that there is no other park in Europe
that causes as many shining children’s eyes (and
adults) as Disneyland Resort Paris. This park with its
hotels and entertainment possibilities is not only a
huge vacation destination, but simply a universe for all
children with its mainly family orientated attractions.
The well known
Disney characters
that have
spanned over
generations accompany visitors on a fantastic trip into
the world of fantasy – lasting more than a day. ■
TOVERLAND
Toverland is a distinctive feature of the
European park scene. Here, family
recreation can be enjoyed even in rainy
weather and during winter: in addition to the
constantly extended outside area over the
past years, the indoor area entices children
into a beautifully designed magical world,
which indeed also includes a number of
larger attractions such as a coaster. ■
TRIPSDRILL
The original themed park offers original
attractions that the wishes of the whole
family extremely well. The special characteristic
is the overall theming in Swabian
atmosphere, which can’t be found anywhere
a second time. Due to the large attractions
that have been installed over the past years,
Tripsdrill has also become very interesting
for adolescent visitors.
■
91

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST WATER PARKS
SIAM PARK
The water park that opened in 2008 on Tenerife not
only has an unusual concept and exciting theming,
but it also has the largest variety of slides in Europe.
Additionally the park, due to its exemplary water
management with its own desalination plant and other
features, is the first “Green Water Park” in Europe. The
18.5 hectare sized grounds themed in a Thailand style,
contains the longest Lazy River, a wave pool with the
highest artificial waves, and the highest Thai building
in Europe.
■
GALAXY ERDING
The Galaxy Dome is part of a
huge water and thermal paradise
called Therme Erding,
where experience is not only centred
on thrill, but also on flow. In addition
to the outside area and the
very generous sauna-world, there
are also thermal pools and rest
areas. However, the Galaxy by its
own is a huge and compactly arranged
slide world that offers
something for every taste. ■
TROPICAL ISLANDS
The combination of a breathtaking
and over 100 metre high
hall structure, the abundant subtropical
vegetation and aroundthe-clock
swimming can be found
nowhere else in the world. There
are additional overnight accommodation
possibilities in exclusive
suites or simple but adventurous
tents, as well as restaurants, bars,
and a huge sauna-world – and all
this within an artificial firmament.■
92

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST NEW RIDES 2012
SHAMBHALA
With a track difference of 78 metres, it’s the highest
steel coaster in Europe – and it has a convincing
setting on the Mediterranean Sea, because the
location is PortAventura, right in the centre of the tourist
stronghold Salou/Tarragona/La Pineda.
But “Shambhala” is also more than
convincing due to its comfortable
generosity in seat distance, intensive airtime on the
parabolic shaped hills, and the nearly never-ending
1,564 metre long track, which as is usual for B&M constructions,
uncoils smoothly. It is the new and majestic
figurehead of the European coaster scene. ■
WODAN TIMBURCOASTER
This almost 40 metres high and 1,050 metre long
wooden coaster from Great Coasters International
can well be considered as the company’s
masterpiece: perfect engineering, a very varied
layout, and never before combined ride-gimmicks
vibrate the track bed from beginning to end – a
successful new interpretation of wooden coasters
at Europa-Park. “Wodan” allows guests to experience
the elementary power of physics. ■
POLAR X-PLORER
The new type of track attraction from
Zierer is something totally different to
other coasters: It contains not only a
speedy coaster ride, but also a Darkride
sequence and a real freefall! This also takes
place in the dark section and simulates the
breaking into arctic ice. The 500 metre long
and up to 20 metre high “PolarX-plorer” is
the new highlight at Legoland Billund. ■
93

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST STEEL COASTERS
EXPEDITION GEFORCE
Holiday Park Plopsa was able to
secure this category for itself
with its 52 metre high and over
1,200 metre long steel coaster
from Intamin, erected in 2001.
In addition to a smooth course thanks to the perfect
pliability and a varied layout with parabolic hills, airtime
hills, and steep curves, the first drop carries all
responsibility. It offers an 80° steep drop with a simultaneous
quarter turn on its own axis.
■
SHAMBALA
This steel roller coaster
voted as best new attraction
for 2012 attained
second place in this category
– a good placing for a
new construction that not
everybody knows as yet.
However due to its imposing
appearance and maximum
airtime, it will without a doubt
be right in front in the upcoming
years.
■
STUNT FALL
There are only five “Giant Inverted Boomerangs”
from Vekoma worldwide – and
this is the only one in Europe (2013 will see
another example at Sochi, Russia). So it’s not
any wonder that this unusual coaster creation
at Parque Warner Madrid has made a
jump onto the Top 5 list. As is usual for normal
Vekoma-Boomerangs, the train travels
the course forwards and backwards within a
minute and in the process goes through six
inversions. But with a height of 58 metres,
”Stunt Fall” is simply giant!
■
94

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST WOODEN COASTERS
COLOSSOS
This gigantic wooden coaster from Intamin (general
contractor) and Cordes (wooden construction),
was erected at Heide-Park in 2001. Since then the 52
metre high and 1,344 metre long attraction offers all
passengers a maximum acceleration of up to + 4.5 g,
and a spectacular minimum g-
force of up to – 1.5 g. Since
2009 – after the “Son of Beast” was shut down in the
USA – “Colossos” is the highest wooden coaster in the
world! And this woodie simply has to be experienced,
as it most probably has the most consistent airtime
interpretation.
■
TROY
The 31 metre high and 1,070 metre long wooden
attraction doesn’t quite fit to the general product
range of Toverland that is basically designed
for families with children. However, the indoor and
outdoor park has become significantly more
interesting for adolescent visitors. ”Troy” from
Great Coasters Int. doesn’t only offer a great ride
experience to its passengers but also an attractive
look for all other visitors.
■
TWISTER
The fact that wooden coasters don’t always
have to be big in order to provide a lot of fun is
proved impressively by the “Twister” at Sweden’s
Gröna Lund, which opened in 2011.
Airtime, lateral forces, delusional curve radii, nearmisses,
and a fantastic setting on the waterfront
make this Hybrid Coaster (it has in fact wooden
tracks on steel supports) from The Gravity Group
unique.
■
95

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST WATER RIDES
POSEIDON
This ride construction from Mack Rides is something
very special as it connects up real coaster elements
with a final and wet drop, which even has an
intensive built-in airtime hill (a kind of a double drop).
With its well designed layout and a successful integration
in the Greek theme area, the 836 metre long
and 23 metre high “Poseidon” has enriched Europa-
Park since the 2000 season.
■
VALHALLA
Pleasurebeach Blackpool erected
this indoor water ride with a length
of 610 metres and a height of 20 metres
in the year 2000. The steepest drop
has a 70° angle, and is 10 metres
deep. However, it’s the bombastic effects
(for example change of temperature
from -20° to +40° Celsius), the
overall thematic experience and a delusionary
moisture level that gives the
feeling of absolving a boat ride without
a boat, is what makes “Valhalla” from
Intamin (design from Sarner, effects
from Technifex) unusually different. ■
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
The water attraction from
Disney is an unequalled
classic with excellent theming
and elaborate storyline at all
parks within the group. And in
the case of the Disneyland
Park Paris, the hardware of the
1992 erected attraction comes
from Intamin and has a vertical
lift as one of its many features.
The exciting water ride with
drops in the dark is open to riders
of all (!) age groups. ■
96

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST ATTRACTIONS
TWILIGHT ZONE TOWER OF TERROR
Those who claim that a freefall tower cannot be
themed will learn differently here. Fantastic ride fun
with multiple drops is nothing for those with weak
nerves, but here everything is simply right – even the
waiting area is a part of the whole
experience. The excellent overall
design, the fantastic inside architecture and the perfectly
attuned scenes and sequences make the 55.8
metres high “Tower of Terror” (lift system from Otis) the
best designed attraction in general.
■
SYNKOPE
Alarger version of a swing construction
with rotating discs is
rare at European theme parks.
“SynKope” from Mondial is one of
them and has been located and
operated at Terra Mitíca since
2004. This attraction reaches a
flight height of 35 metres and a
speed of up to 90 kilometres per
hour.
■
TALOCAN
The inverted version of the sales
hit “Top Spin” from Huss Rides
has received a grandiose theming
at Phantasialand, and is considered
– justifiably – as one of the best
attractions in Europe. The looping
attraction erected in 2007 is
equipped with water and fire
effects, and even the setting that
encloses the 18 metre high attraction
is simply impressive. ■
97

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST KIDDIE RIDES
MAIBAUM
Adistinctive feature among the many kiddie ride constructions is the 13
metre high viewing tower from abc rides, in which the ride guests can
determine the height themselves by using a joystick. In addition to the
rotation of the mast on its own axis allows the eight gondolas to swing out
correspondingly. Passengers can already partake of the ride from the age
of three years, accompanied by an adult. Erlebnispark Tripsdrill erected
the “Maibaum” in the 2006 season.
■
SCHLANGE VON MIDGARD
The nine metre high and 200
metre long kiddie coaster
from Gerstlauer is very
convincing due to its lively layout,
good ride features, and a
great theming in indoor and
outdoor sequences. For this
reason the child-orientated
coaster at Hansa-Park offers a
lot of high standard action, not
only for small park guests with
a minimum height of one metre,
but also adults. ■
MEDITERRANEA
The Splash Battle type of ride
produced by Zamperla is a
good addition for Minitalia Leolandia
and a great ride for the whole
family. The theming, which will be
completed for the next season, is
already impressive: the ride vehicles
are perfect representations of
the Marine Republic’s ships, and
the Mediterranea castle includes a
small dark ride section. ■
98

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2012
EUROPE’S BEST WATER SLIDES
LE KING COBRA
The unusual colour scheme of this water slide from
Polin alone deserves a prize. However the attraction
offers much more: “Le King Cobra” at Aqualand
Fréjus is the first of its type in Europe and offers two
parallel running lanes, so that sliding couples on tubes
can race each other. After passing a type of figure-8-
sequence that is partly covered over, a deep and surprisingly
weightless drop
into a sidewinder-element
follows, to present all sliders
with a dangerous looking
snake head spewing
water on them on the other
side.
■
DRÁGON
CANNON BALL
Siam Park, which has been voted best water park,
also contains the third best water slide in Europe.
“Drágon” from ProSlide is not only one of the very few
funnel slides in Europe, but is also fantastically themed
with one of the largest sized dragon statutes. ■
Actually the 2010 erected construction from Wiegand-Maelzer
is no longer a water slide, but more
of a ride on a cannonball a la Baron of Lies Münchhausen.
Here at Area 47 water park, bathing guests
are catapulted per water pressure a number of metres
in a high arch into the pool – an effective, clear and
very refreshing water slide.

EXHIBITION
Countless fluttering
EAS flags in the entrance
area
“Ick bin ein Berliner” – are the
words spoken by various executives
in the branch into the
cameras for an advertising film
for the Euro Attractions Show in
the German capital. But would
many visitors follow them? After
the somewhat moderate visitor
number results of London, the
EAS 2012 success was already
doomed to failure. Nevertheless
something is very certain now:
the event excelled even the boldest
expectations!

Year for this year’s Leadership
Breakfast, here with speakers

Roland Mack (left)
There were extactly 367 exhibitors from 80 different
countries worldwide waited for potential clients
this year – and over 8,100 visitors came. “With that,
Berlin was the most successful EAS since the event
has first taken place” commented Roland Mack,
Chairman of the Board of the organiser, the
International Association of Amusement Parks and
Attractions (IAAPA). In fact, the total visitor number of
last year’s exhibition in London was already
exceeded on opening day this year! Many visitors
had very obviously planned multiple day visits to the
event.
The conference programme was also very well
attended with 1,248 participants. The themes here
were for example Halloween-events (Speakers: Miro
Gronau from Europa-Park and Andreas Sievering
from Fort-Fun-Abenteuerland), emerging markets,
trends in the F&B-sector, indoor playgrounds, social
media, safety and sustainability.
The novelty-battle of the past years appears to be
taking a break at the moment. Most manufacturers
announced good sales, but are more or less holding
back currently as far as any real new developments.
This however didn’t appear to disturb the purchasers.
They came in droves, took their time for discussions,
so much so that most of the stands were always well
visited – even on the classically somewhat slower last
exhibition day.
100

In the following we are giving an overview of what
transpired at the EAS, but we raise no claim to completeness
– the event has become simply too large.
abc rides
Willi Walser couldn’t stop going into raptures as far
as the EAS was concerned, despite general Swiss
reticence. “Our middle sized water attractions were
of great interest in particular. In most cases there
wasn’t a closure, it was mostly about a huge collection
of our offers” outlined the boss about the quality
of discussions at the stand. “And ‘Rittersturz’ at Klotten
naturally has caused a huge boom, and the public
has accepted it with enthusiasm”. Two new water
attractions will be installed in Germany by abc rides
in 2013. “We have a lot to do, but those who want to
order the attraction at the moment will still be delivered
in 2013, nevertheless it would have to be
around autumn. We are pursuing a lot of new ideas,
but as we are so often copied, we can’t talk about
them at the moment”, said the resourceful design
engineer in a view of the future. He was particularly
pleased about winning the first prize in the European
Star Awards for “Best Kiddie Ride” for the Tripsdrill
“Maibaum”. “I’m really happy about this, especially
as it was the Fischer family which first put their trust
in my young company 15 years ago.”
BN Performance Rides
This young Italian company has driven the transportability
of Saltomontes-round rides right to the top.
The company’s new “Smashing Jump” variation (with
rotating suspended gondolas) can be built up completely
by 2 persons in only 4 hours without a crane,
gondola lifter, or any other equipment aid, as the gondolas
and cylinders are attached to the arms and
folded during transport on one 3-axle trailer. The first
example has been sold to the showman company
Sarl Fx2 in France (Pierre and Frederique Bruch), and
makes its debut during the fair in the Kingdom of
Monaco on the 27 th October.
Gerstlauer
The Münsterhausen Company, in actual fact well
known for its coasters, was happy to report of the
great interest in its “SkyFly” at the EAS – the advertising
effects of the latest installations at Nigloland
and Legoland seem to have paid off. The new restraint
design of the Eurofighter has also generated
a new boost in enquiries – but unfortunately the conversion
of already existing constructions is not quite
so simple. The largest project was and is here naturally
the new attraction at Alton Towers, which apparently
will contain a not yet defined “world’s first” – unconfirmed
rumours in this case speak of a rotating
track around the long axis in the Darkride section of
the construction. An important prestige project for
Gerstlauer was the first Spinning Coaster with inversions
at Tokyo Joypolis, however interest is still hanging
back at this stage. The redesign of the famous
“Rattler” coaster at in Six Flags Fiesta Texas through
Rocky Mountain Construction with a steel track will
once again use Gerstlauer trains. Additionally a new
Gerstlauer construction will make its way to the southern
hemisphere. A big handshake and hello also took
place at the Gerstlauer stand: Roland und Helmut
Fischer are extremely pleased about a Eurofighter
with LSM-launch. The attraction will offer four cars for
4 passengers and will be equipped with the new lap
bars. As is usual with a Eurofighter, this construction
will also have inversions and be equipped with a short
Darkride section before the launch course.
Further along, the family park Neusiedlersee in
Austria will receive a new Bobsled-coaster that
will be named “Rattenmühle” (“Rat’s Mill”). “The
station will be designed as an old mill, and the inside
will give the impression that the whole mill
has been infested by rats” explained park operator
Mario Müller. The 430 metre long attraction with
a total height difference of 19 metres will offer
quite a speedy ride. The construction will be fitted
to the steep grounds and integrated into the
woods located on the slope.

called “Salimgarh” with 6-seat cars has been installed
in Mumbai in India, the course of which runs over
two storeys. Gosetto has also sold a second Darkride
attraction to the same park called “Ali Baba”, which
accommodates 4 passengers per car, with an approximately
260 metre long course. An indoor park in
Rio de Janeiro in Brazil operated by the US Mar-and-
Mar Group has been delivered a further example with
a mini-dodgem operating on the lower level. And another
Darkride will be delivered to Scandinavia by the
Italian firm. Further along Gosetto is planning the
construction of a transportable 5-story Funhouse. According
to the manufacturer, the attraction will be the
biggest and highest in the world.
Great Coasters International
Chris Gray appeared to be highly satisfied: “Wodan”,
in the meantime is the fourth European installation of
a GCII-wooden coaster and has become a landmark
in this country. Hardcore-fans have received
it with mixed feelings, however it is extremely
popular with the “normal” park public.
“Normally everybody knows that a new
wooden coaster has to be run-in” said Gray somewhat
on edge, “in the case of “Wodan” it was all about
it being too slow already on the very first day. These
people should return to Europa-Park and ride it again,
and they would be really amazed!” “Wodan” has
transported over 2.1 million passengers since its
opening, and that hasn’t been achieved by any other
single-track-attraction without block brakes.
“That is on average over 1,200 passengers per hour.
For a woodie that’s absolutely awesome”, said Gray
proudly. CGII is so busy that the exhibition for the
company from the USA was more or less used to find
a customer who is “planning to present a wooden
coaster in around 5 years.” The factories are working
to full capacity: “At the moment we are building two
projects simultaneously: the attraction for Fun Spot
Orlando, and the new ride for California’s Great America.
There are further projects that will be revealed
shortly.” Among them are not (!) only coasters but according
to Gray “something really cool.”

Know through its experience restaurants “ ‘s Baggers”
in Nürnberg, “Schwerelos und Zeitlos” in Hamburg
and Dresden, and “Food Loop” at Europa-Park,
where meals are transported to the tables on coaster
tracks, the firm exhibited at the EAS for the first time,
Metallbau Emmeln will deliver this water attraction to Toverland in the Netherlands in 2013

Michael Mack attended
an EAS for the first time as
exhibitor and was impressed by
the process of the exhibition
and new contacts
and presented
a mobile version
of this entertaining
gastronomy:
the
so called
“Achterbahn-
Imbiss”. Heine
Mack offers
three different
variations of
mobile experience-gastronomy
under the name “SnackTrek”. The “AchterbahnRikscha”
is on a bicycle basis, the “AchterbahnVan” built
on a car-trailer, or the “AchterbahnTruck” offering
place for up to five cooks.
The large variety of various styles on a semitrailer
or container pallets that are available
can cater to up to 1,000 guests, and are ideal
also for events expecting large crowds. Here
there are even a number of track courses,
exactly as in the stationary restaurants, so
that the unusual transportation from the kitchen
on the plate can be seen from all angles.
The smaller variations would be ideal as icecream
wagons – something that the British-
Dutch foodstuff manufacturer Unilever has already
realized, and is deliberating about the
acquisition of up to 4,000 units for impulsive
ice-cream purchase. At the EAS, HeineMack
had built up the middle sized variation and
was extremely pleased about the lively interest
shown at the entrance area to Hall 22.
HeineMack plans on operating a number of
“showcases” in the future, and also a number
of different facilities on a part of the grounds
of the insolvent mail-order firm Quelle in
Fürth, as drive-in operations.
Imagination:First
The five year old design offices from Bavaria,
known through the re-design of Europa-
Park’s Historama and the new park plans, and also
theme park extraneous areas such as designing all
the sets for the popular German television show
“Wetten... dass?” for example, brought along a
number of interesting new drafts to the exhibition: in
one ride, a combination of water ride and freefall
attraction called “Splash Fall Thrill Escape”, the
visitor slips into the role of an investor in a new type
of off-shore drilling technology – drill tamping – in
other words, the holes are not bored on an oil rig but
tamped.
Naturally something goes dreadfully wrong during
the tour and the group is evacuated in a 20-seat boat,
and released onto the water by way of an emergency
chute. Unfortunately the boat subsequently lands
between the drill tamper, which is when the vertical
ride begins – wildly ascending and descending. In
the end the boat naturally is freed and everybody is
happy.
Imagination:First has exact ideas about how the complete
technology will be implemented – and the liaison
with technology partner Mack-Rides helps here.
“We are however basically independent and can realize
customer wishes together with every manufacturer”,
stated CEO Mirko Obert clearly. In addition, the
Bavarians also had an interesting design for a Wing
Coaster with them, where the ride guest always remains
upright, together with a concept for a Darkride
in which the passengers slip into the role of a museum
thief, acquiring their nightly foray by underhanded
means. Interesting here is the fact that the ride
completely does without the usual laser or photocell
technology and reacts only to the greedy, clutching
hands of the museum thieves. Heart-touching is the
concept of a kiddie-water-ride with the working title
of “Schnippel-Scheren Wunderreise”, where passengers
take their place in small paper boats. The highlight
here: the landscape changes during the journey
just as in a pop-up-storybook. “Our main objective is
to tell the customer a consistent story from beginning
to end” explained designer Daniel Kerscher about
the company’s aspirations. In doing so, the Bavarians
offer really everything, from the design of the outside
facade to the queue line, the interior design and
right up to the design of the merchandise.

Intamin
“We’re satisfied – a little of everything, which results
in a nice workload”, said Intamin’s Executive Vice President
Sascha M. Czibulka, summarizing the current
situation. “Our turnover is spread out exactly as
positioned until now. We are strong in the area coasters,
strong in the area of water attractions, strong in
high rising attractions – here in the area of viewing
and freefall towers as well.” In the coaster sector, Intamin
has recently announced further sales of the 10-
Inversion-Coaster. Different to the classic layouts à la
“Colossus” at Thorpe-Park, in this case there are new
trains, cable instead of chain lifts and a straight drop
in a near-ground curve, similar to the Mega-Lite-
Coaster. The three constructions will go to Brazil,
Italy and China. “We also have a nice project going
in the area of Darkrides in Asia, an Inverted Coaster
that stands shortly before going into operation. We
have a lot to do on all continents, and are happy in
not being dependent on one region, even though a
lot is happening in Asia at the moment – that naturally
affects us also.”
Here Intamin naturally has the advantage of being
represented in many product groups, which brings
about a very balanced workload. Concerning the
regular copying by competitors particularly in, but not
only Asia, Sascha M. Czibulka is of the opinion: “We
have always been confronted with this problem.
Either one defends themselves and takes legal
action, which brings about the danger of losing the
focus on actual business, or one concentrates on
continuing to be innovative, and keeping a distance
from those who build up their company by copying.
We decided on the second alternative long ago. The
majority of operators have a lot of knowledge and
most can recognise an original from a fake – and the
consequences of the decision for one or the other differ.”
As far as new products are concerned, Czibulka
has a novelty in sight for 2014 in the
area of Freefall attractions. “As we
are still in the middle of development
I’m not able to say more. We’re onto
an innovation and a new interpretation
of the theme. For those who find
floorless-gondolas hard to take, our
new novelty will be even harder for
them.”
KMG
Business with “Easy Rides” is still
running at a first class rate. “Our
order books are full until the year
2014”, reported a very satisfied
Peter Theunisz. And the company
from the Netherlands also stands
well on the American and British
markets. “The ‘Freak Out’ in particular
is still a big runner for us”, said the
KMG Sales Manager. The next
“Freak Out” will be delivered in November
2012 to the Symonds Yat
Leisure Park, operated by Henry
Danter. But the KMG-Booster-variation
“Speed” is also selling well.
Something curious here though: David
und Richard Cadell from Brean
Leisure Park in England have ordered
a new “Speed”, which is almost
a dead ringer of the earlier existing
construction, except for the LEDlighting.
The older “Speed” with
classic lighting elements was sold
by the Cadell brothers to France.

The colouring, the layout

with its multi-launches awake
an association with the
“Cheetah Hunt” coaster at
Busch Gardens Tampa – ride
fun pre-programmed
Jarno Otten this year, is also generating a lot of interest.
The construction was lent to Lunds Tivoli in Bergen,
Norway, which was very satisfied, but unfortunately
in the end didn’t buy.
“A US-park model is in the pipeline” said Theunisz.
And the second delivery of the Afterburner further
development “Sicko” will take place shortly: the attraction
will go to H.P. Maier in the 2013 season, and
will be churning Swiss stomachs from then on. “We
can’t bring a huge novelty out every year. That
wouldn’t be economically sensible for us, or
particularly for our regular customers”, said Theunisz.
“At the moment we are earning good money with
the developments of the past years. We are thinking
about an 80 metre high Booster ride, but we have to
find a buyer first. Our strength is rides that are simple
to build up and dismantle, and generate only low
running costs.”
Laserlight
To feel like Tom Cruise in “Mission Impossible” just
once – this has been made possible by the young
company from Patrick Dietzel. “One sees here that
something like that is not quite so simple” he said,
when introducing the concept. “The Laser course has
to be completed without being touched, and in the best
possible time.” This pertains to mobile and permanently
installed systems, although the mobile system
is very flexible and can be used almost everywhere.
“We’ve used them from city festivals right up to medical
congresses,” said Dietzel. “Systems can even be
used at exhibitions to offer visitors to the stand that extra
kick.” The permanent systems are particularly ideal
for indoor parks and FECs, but also for normal parks,
which can use the system for example to be integrated
as part of a Walkthrough attraction. “Laserlight Mission”
does not need an operator and can be simply
coin-operated. Themes such as a technology-look, outer
space, desert, cave, or jungle are possible. “The
idea of this system came from various customers who
approached us at an exhibition in Frankfurt regarding
lighting technology, asking whether it was not possible
to obtain such a system in Europe with TÜV approval”,
explained the engineer. “In actual fact it was not available
at that time. The Lasers have 3R classification,
which is already lower than a normal laser show, but
the complete system can be rated even lower as it is
impossible to look into the beams because they are cut
off within 0.01 milliseconds, as soon as an interruption
takes place. It would therefore never reach the eye.”
“Laserlight Mission” exists since 2009, and the demand
is steadily increasing.
The latest
project is a Mayatemple
for an FEC in
Helsinki, Finland.
Mack Rides
Without a doubt the
largest project announced
at the exhibition
comes from
Waldkirchen:”Project
Helix” is to be

IAAPA Orlando
the largest coaster that Mack has ever built. The new coaster, effectively
announced at the end of the opening video, will be the longest coaster
at Liseberg (41 metres high, almost 1,400 metres long) and contains the
most inversions of all coasters in Scandinavia. For Mack Rides, the ride
promises to be an absolute reference project, and for the Liseberg boss
Andreas Andersen, also a passionate coaster fan, the attraction will be
the realisation of a dream – that apparently cost the Goteborg park over
200 million Swedish Kroner. Andersen himself actively co-determined
the layout – and is obviously still at it, as the introduced ride sequence
at the exhibition is apparently still not the final version.
The grounds of the Liseberget (the hill which the park flanks on one side)
will be used perfectly for the interaction with viewers and other
attractions – for example the Schwarzkopf classic “Lisebergbanan”, and
couldn’t be better. There will be two LSM-launch sections, the second of
which will bring the train to a top speed of 100 km/h. The inversions will
most likely be a “Pretzel Loop”, two Corkscrews, a Heartline-Roll, and
an Inverted Top-Hat. The station of the attraction will be located above
on the hill in the complex that also contains the Freefall Tower
“AtmosFear”, for which the simulator-cinema “MaXXima” had to make
way. The three trains, each accommodating 20 passengers will be
technically identical with those of the “blue fire” at Europa-Park – the
countless inversions will also be absolved without shoulder restraints.
Maximum banking will be 115°, and G-forces will reach from -1 to + 4.2
g. The only bad news is that the attraction will not be ready in 2013, but
in 2014.
But there’s enough to do at Mack Rides apart from the Swedish project:
a 480 metre long “YoungSTAR”-Coaster will keep youthful coaster fans
happy at the Chinese Daqing Dream City with its height of 16 metres and
a maximum speed of 60 km/h. Three new Twist ‘n’ Splash attractions are
causing waves at Zuhai Chimelong in China, at China’s Etnaland, and at
Canada’s La Ronde. The Middle East will be delivered a Launched Coaster
and a Spinning Coaster, both of which will be sent to Dubai. Mack
is also delivering a Teacup Ride to nearby Abu Dhabi to Ferrari World,
the gondolas of which are designed as racing tyres. A second megacoaster
is coming to Europe to the Gélis brothers at Nigloland in Champagne
– opening however will be in 2014. A further Launched Coaster
will go to Penglai in the Chinese province of Shandong. This construction
will be identical to the “blue fire” at Europa-Park. And Germany is not
missing out on Mack-Ride attractions either: the “Temple X-Pedition” will
be an interactive Darkride-endless system in Egyptian theming.

The “Sky Loop” from the Munich firm is as popular as
sliced bread so to speak: no less than 5 deliveries of
the over 50 metre high but very compact looping construction
with X-Cars have gone to China alone, three
of them to parks belonging to the Fantawild-Group.
The very busy OCT-Group in China has also ordered
not less than two new attractions from Maurer: a “Sky
Loop” with the rather peculiar name of “Hidden Anaconda”
as well as an XL-1000 construction called
“Magic Express”, reminding one of a kiddie coaster
with this name. Both rides have gone to Happy Valley
Wuhan. “In general, China will be a very exciting
market in the future as well, and will soon supersede
the USA as market number 1. But doing business
there is also very special. It works a lot more through
personal contact than is usual”, said graduate engineer
Ralf Reifferscheidt, Business Unit Director at
Maurer Rides, outlining business practices in the Far
East. “The Chinese are very exacting about the
quality of rides that they purchase from Europe, which
are the flagships of the company, of which they are
very proud.”
The compact construction XL 1000 also generates a
lot of interest. “We have acknowledged generally that
the race for higher and faster is slackening further,
and is unique to only a few large parks. For most operators
that concentrate on the family public, extreme
constructions are not sensible”, continued Reifferscheidt.
But naturally Maurer Söhne is also very busy
in the USA, and is delivering a SC 2000 with the fitting
name of “Undertow” to the traditional Santa Cruz
Beach Boardwalk in the north of the US State of
California, a part of the USA that has no coasters with
a “rotating effect” at all. The company is unfortunately
rather tight-lipped about innovations: “We’re a little
damaged in this respect. Our policy is – develop it,
offer it, sell it, and install it – and then we talk about it.
We have simply been copied by the Chinese too
often, the same as other manufacturers”, added the
Divisional Manager to protocol. “The audacity of the
manufacturers appearing at the exhibitions in the Far
East is sometimes unbelievable, being present sometimes
even with photos of our constructions from
Europe. One really has to think seriously about which
model to take to a Chinese market.”
Further along Maurer is improving its in-house manufacturing
and has invested millions in automation
and quality improvement, as well as reducing production
tolerance. “An outsourcing to Eastern Europe
is for this reason out of the question. We have in
the meantime already gone from 0.1 mm per 100 mm
in variance. With that, we are already at the maximum
as far as steel construction is concerned.”
Mondial
Froukje and Jisk Knijpstra and their team presented
an interesting variation of the major attraction hit
“Windseeker” at the EAS. Ferris Wheel type cabins
affixed to an identical tower construction, instead of
on arms. In this way, families or small groups can
experience a breathtaking all-round view in a
“private” setting, as on a Ferris Wheel. Equipped with
15 gondolas à 10 passengers, there is of course the
additional advantage of a monster-capacity. The
gondolas can be supplied either by the Swiss firm
Gangloff, or built by Mondial. Mondial has many ideas
as to how these cabins can look, for example with the
seats in the centre or rotating, so that each passenger
can have an unimpeded view. The new “Booster”-
variation “Flasher” has also generated a lot of interest,
particularly from the Netherlands and Belgium.
There have also been a lot of enquiries regarding the
new “Power-Maxx”-variation with the view towards
the outside. “The EAS exhibition is much better than
last year, probably also because one can simply drive
here with a car,” presumed Sales Manager Theo van
Zwieten. “But in end effect we only need two people

who sign a definite contract with us, so the visitor
numbers are actually immaterial. Anyway, the EAS
date in October is unfortunately not ideal for
showman companies. The earlier Interschau was
always in January, which was better for the showmen.”
One World Studios
“The EAS surpassed our expectations by far” said
Managing Director Olaf Mordelt. “The location Berlin
was the right decision at the right time. If we had had
the EAS somewhere else in Europe, the situation may
well have been quite different.” The team at One
World is particularly proud of the opening of its first
Indoor-Kiddie-land only a few weeks ago in Beirut,
Lebanon, for investment group JWA. In addition to
two further kiddie-lands that are already in planning,
JWA has already made two subsequent orders for
kiddie-lands. “We’ve made a name for ourselves with
kiddie lands, but don’t want to just stay in this area
specifically, but to keep our options open for other
sectors”, explained Olaf Mordelt about the future.
“This shows quite definitely just how satisfied these
customers are with our delivered quality”, added
Senior Manager Karl-Heinz Mordelt. The subsequently
ordered attractions will also be located in
the Middle East; the JWA-Group is not restricted to
just Lebanon. “Our colourful and funny designs are
unique, and not copies. This is a thing that apparently,
and thank goodness is, in great demand. The
resonance of those interested is overwhelming. It’s a
new style with which we can bridge a gap in the
market.”
One World Studios are also able to realize whole
projects including conclusion, or to just deliver the
ideas and project management, leaving the completion
in the hand of the customer. “We are also able for
example to manufacturer in our factories in Spandau
if required. We work together with many other service
providers. But the quality must be right, and everything
has to fit, particularly the colours. This is very
important to us.” Another project for One World
stands shortly before signing – and it appears that
Maurer Söhne may well be involved considering the
suspiciously long period that Horst Ruhe was at the
One World stand, involved in deep discussions.
There was naturally a smiling no comment – “after the
ink is dry.”
Premier Rides
The absolute reference project for the American
company at the moment is the new attraction for the
large Californian Six Flags Magic Mountain Park – the
coaster with the highest (almost 49 metres) vertical
looping worldwide – and with a 113 km/h speed, is
apparently also the fastest Looping Coaster ever. In
the case of “Full Throttle”, three examples of the very
110

openly designed LSM-coaster-cars from Premier Rides are coupled together,
resulting in an 18 passenger capacity per ride. The attraction will
have no less than three launches: two of them forwards and one reverse,
whereby the train is shot out of an “Effect Tunnel” back onto the peak of
the Dive Loop. The LSM motors therefore are used in both directions.
The only safety block on the whole attraction, which allows two of the
short trains to be on the track simultaneously is in the tunnel, which is
completely travelled though during the second approach. One curiosity
is that the immense looping is once again an immense airtime hill – of
which Premier speaks misleadingly here of a “Top Hat” function, although
the vertical ascent and drops are missing. The courses can meet
here ideally, which is an original feature. Premier Rides President Jim
Seay: “We are very proud to be a part of the Six-Flags-success formula.
This attraction will have the latest magnetic-acceleration-technology,
and will without a doubt be enthralling.” With an estimated almost 1,100
passengers per hour, it appears that long waiting times are pre-programmed
for the 2013 novelty at the well visited mega-park Six Flags
Magic Mountain.
TAA
The Spanish theming experts were already very satisfied on the first
exhibition day: “We have made many new contacts and not only those
“just looking”, but real potential clients. The quality of the public is very
good”, said Christian Angenvoort enthusiastically. The very noticeable
exhibition stand that represented an antique catapult helped a lot. “This
way, prospective buyers can already see what we can do.” In the
process the stand also had a very high user value, as it offered ideal
possibilities to withdraw for discussions on two different levels. A large
project stands right before the door: TAA will construct 155 huts for three
different experience worlds within the large Christmas Market at CentrO-
Oberhausen. “We also have many projects again with Studio 100, joint
plans with Compagnie des Alpes, and naturally continue good collaboration
with Merlin.”Three new SeaLife-aquariums were brought to life with
the help of the TAA-expertise. I think that it speaks very much for the
quality of our work, when we are repeatedly contracted by the same
customers” said Angenvoort.

A Saltamondes-variation
from Technical Park
Technical Park has
brought the “Aerobat” on the
market as a transportable
version with the well known

Cleary-Mack – the success
duo travelling towards the end:
Chip Cleary gives up his post as
CEO and IAAPA-President at the
end of the year, Roland Mack
ends his IAAPA-term accord ing
to schedule in November
Technical Park
“We are very happy with the
exhibition, it was much better than
London, with particularly Scandinavian
customers who were
strongly represented” said a well
satisfied Sales Manager Marco
Grigolo. “We have a lot of customers
there with whom we have a
close relationship, and it was nice
to be able to meet up with them
here personally.” One could almost
call the company from Melara in northern Italy
the “Zinnecker Park” – after all the Bavarian showman
company had ordered not less than three attractions
from Technical Park within a short period of time:
following the two Loop Fighters “The King” and “Der
Burner” that are toured by father Andreas and son
Manuel, daughter Lorena now receives a “Wild
Spark” by the name of “Kraftwerk”. The special features
of this Saltamonte variation from the Italians is
the individual lap bars from overhead that are affixed
to the side of the seat, which allow three completely
differently sized rides guests to sit next to each other
on the three-seat passengers carrier, in complete
safety. This was a big problem with earlier models of
the ride type. At the moment it’s basically the Loop
Fighter and Ferris Wheels that have brought about
strong interest at Technical Park. “Our new cabins
have all been designed disabled-friendly. The doors
open wide enough and the seats are all foldable so
that a wheelchair occupant not only can enter our
gondola, but can sit very comfortably with nonwheelchair
passengers and enjoy the ride with them”,
advised Grigolo. The Pegasus-16 has generated a lot
of interest particularly in the USA. “The regulations
regarding large road transportation in the USA are
particularly severe, and the light and compact
Pegasus-16 is our answer to the problem.” Another
novelty from Technical Park is enjoying great interest
from European showman companies: the “Aerobat”
is a transportable construction whereby 16 passengers
in individual seats located behind each other,
can rotate in sideway loopings in a slanting circular
path. This is induced by two wings on the side that –
depending on the position – cause the rotation by way
of the airstream. The first example has already been
delivered to Turkey.
Vekoma
The Netherlanders from Vlodrop were also more than
satisfied with the Berlin EAS. “We believe that this
exhibition has created a bridge to Eastern Europe”,
said Sales Manager Peter van Bilsen. Despite the
recession, 2012 has been a record year for Vekoma.
“We can’t really say what exactly is running best at
the moment. It’s a combination of everything. Coasters
are running well, but our simulators also. The Ferris
Wheels from our subsidiary firm Dutch Wheels B.V.
are also creating a lot of enquiries. We have sold two
or three examples from every segment, and at the
moment we have more than 15 projects in the
pipeline.” The classics are also being sought after at
Vekoma: three Boomerang-coasters have just been
delivered to the Fantawild-Group. There is also a lot

Zamperla
The Family Suspended
Coaster „Orkanen” from
Vekoma will have a very special
setting at Faarup Sommerland
of interest in reequipping already existing Vekoma
constructions with completely new trains with the
super comfortable rubber vests on the shoulder
restraints, or even only to exchange the shoulder
restraints. Motors are also being refitted from
alternating current to direct current, and new
electronics are being installed – there’s a lot going on
in this area at Vekoma. Large new projects for 2013
are among others, a custom-designed Family
Suspended Coaster by the name of “Orkanen” with
an underwater tunnel for Faarup Sommerland.
Vekoma is also involved in many projects in Eastern
Europe – a number of rides for Adventure World in
Warsaw will be supplied by the company from the
Netherlands.
Smiling Italian faces are the order of the day at Zamperla.
The statement “We are very happy with the exhibition”
was given to protocol by Marketing Manager
Marco Mazzucchi. “We’ve met a lot of people
here, many already known to us, but we have also
made new contacts. But we don’t really like the
event’s location – there are simply too many halls.”
The current novelty from the Italian ride manufacturer
is the portable version of the new success model “Air
Race”, a ride that made its première in 2010 at the
Luna Park on Coney Island in New York, which was
previously equipped by Zamperla. In the meantime
10 examples of the “Air Race” have been sold – and
now there is also a transportable version. In this case
the centre load has eight arms on which there are
however only seats for two instead of the beautifully
themed planes, each accommodating four passengers.
The highlight: the complete construction is
folded onto a trailer. Delivery and première has already
taken place at the Texas State Fair in Dallas,
USA. A stationary variation of the “Air Race” with eight
arms in combination with four-seat planes bringing an
impressive capacity of 32 passengers per ride, has
already celebrated its première at a park in Chile.
In order to ensure the large capacity, the radius had
to grow only minimally however, with the planes being
‘squeezed together’ a little, in order to be able to accommodate
two more examples. An interactive

piloting by the ride guests was however not planned
by Zamperla: “We don’t find any sense in that when
not every guest can actively take part – there would
only be arguments in the case of the four-seat
planes” said Mazzucchi with assurance. Therefore
the Italian company offers two new design developments
for the “Air Race”. And the “Moto Coaster”
could also be sold three times in the new variation
with classic chain lift – two to China, one to Dubai,
and the sale of another construction of this type is
currently under discussion with China.
Zamperla is also bringing an end to a very large project
with a Mine Train for a park in India. The almost
1,000 metre long attraction with two trains is shortly
before completion. “As soon as the rainy season at
long last comes to an end, we will complete the ride”,
said Mazzucchi. Overall, one can only be impressed
by the process of growth of Zamperla: “We are still
considered to be a kiddie-ride-manufacturer by most
people, but we are generating the same turnover in
the meanwhile with our coasters and large ride constructions,
as with what earlier was our core business”.
Zierer
Marina Ernst-Weiderer had good enough reason to
sparkle as the “Elevated Seating Coaster” will be
newly installed next year: the company from Deggendorf
will be installing an
indoor-outdoor-variation in a
hall that had earlier accommodated
a Pirate-water attraction
at the Bellewaerde
Park. And without any doubt
both the Elevated Seating
Coaster and Vertical Drop
Coaster have generated a lot
of interest. “That naturally
brings a lot of people to the
stand.” No wonder: after all,
the Vertical-Drop attractions have been installed in
leading parks such as Busch Gardens Williamsburg
and Legoland Billund.
For 2013 Zierer is working on many family rides that
are on order: four “Jet Skis” alone are currently being
built. The Chinese market is also of increasing value
for the company: a “Kontiki XL” in a elaborate pirate
theme and a variation of the “Flying Fishes” – here
however as “Flying Dolphins” with 16 instead of 12
arms – in the booming Chinese market everything
can be a little bigger – are all currently in production.
Another design variation of the Zierer-round ride hits
has gone into operation recently as “Flying Snoopys”
at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. “This is a ride
type that I am especially fond of, because it can be
very variably themed”, revealed Frau Ernst-Weiderer
enthusiastically. “Basically we show a trend towards
family attractions. Flying Fishes, Jet Skis – that which
has made us traditionally strong is of even greater interest.”
The Deggendorf firm will be delivering not
less than three constructions to the new large park
“Vialand” in Istanbul, Turkey, which is to open next
year: a Wave-Swinger, a “Star Shape” and a “Jet Ski”
will wander from Bavaria to the Istanbul Strait.
Liseberg will receive a double Zierer-Mini-Freefall for
its new kiddie land. “We are receiving a positive response
to this ride type – from the family father to the
thrill seeker.”
■
Whether the new visitor
record at this year’s
EAS in Berlin is a pleasant
developing trend, or is only
due to the extremely late
date of the exhibition (9 th to
11 th October), will be shown
next year. The EAS will take
place in Paris - and at a very
early point in time (18 th to 20 th
September) – a date at which
time all theme parks and fairgrounds
are still operating in
top gear. Interesting also is
the impact on this year’s
IAAPA Attractions Show in
Orlando: will this event close
off with a new visitor record,
or will it be affected by the
positive trend of the European
exhibition? Will many
European and Asian operators
and buyers stay away
because they have already
received answers to their
enquiries in Berlin? Nevertheless
one has to acknowledge
that the European
trade exhibition appears to
be establishing itself more
and more. And it also
appears that it made hardly
any difference that the EAS
dates overlapped Europe’s
largest branch meeting for
water parks and pools, the
Interbad, which took place in
Stuttgart.

„Durch das Gedränge, die Menschenmenge
Bahnen wir uns den altbekannten Weg
Entlang der Gassen, zu den Rheinterrassen
Über die Brücken, bis hin zu der Musik
Wo alles laut ist, wo alle drauf sind, um durchzudreh’n
Wo die Anderen warten, um mit uns zu starten, und abzugeh’n
An Tagen wie diesen wünscht man sich Unendlichkeit.”
