TWISTER 

The “Twister” has 

changed ownership from Lothar 

Honecker (l.) to Aljoscha 

Eickholt 

Cynthia Hauck and Nicola 

Renz have taken over the “Sky 

Glider” from Prumbaum 

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt 

Shortly before the beginning of the season, 

Aljoscha Eickholt (Augsburg/Stuttgart) took over 

the Reverchon “Twister” from Lothar Honecker 

from Mutterstadt, Palatinate. The family ride was 

handed over and built up under new management 

for the first time at the Reutlingen Frühlingsfest. 

During the very first build up, the new owner was 

supported by the previous owner, Lothar Honecker. 

Even last year, after he had parted with the “Star 

Café”, Eickholt wanted to tour with a used Twister. 

Initially there were plans to buy a Fähtz construction, 

but the deal was called off shortly before handover. 

Eventually he hit lucky with the French Reverchon 

example from Honecker that had been put up for sale 

(formerly from Mutterstadt). Very quickly a contract 

between the two showmen was entered into and the 

ride was ready to be handed over “out of the 

baggage van”. The ride was built in 1974 and initially 

went into operation under the Papst firm from Eggenfelden. 

After that it was owned by the showmen 

Wendler from Iserlohn (under the name of “Musiklift”), 

Sperlich from Mertendorf (“Mr. Twister”), and lastly by 

Honecker from Mutterstadt. It was above all the 

clever theme and the fine overall condition that 

tipped the scales towards the purchase of the 

attraction. Moreover, the ride can be adjusted to 

operate at any speed. Eickholt wants to tour the 

newly purchased ride (front 16 m, 17.50 m deep, ride 

height 12 m, power 40 kW), which was very well 

received at the Reutlingen Frühlingsfest, throughout 

Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and 

Bavaria.

SKY GLIDER 

Text & Photos: 

Norman Vogt 

The only touring "Sky Glider" ride in Germany has 

a new owner: Nicola Renz and Cynthia Hauck from 

Stuttgart and Homburg took over the interactive 

ride from Stefan Prumbaum from Cologne. 

It was, among other factors, the compact and lightweight 

construction, the appealing design with a 

colourful backflash, as well as the fair price that 

persuaded Renz and Hauck to buy the "Sky Glider". 

After the takeover, they presented their attraction at the 

Pferdemarkt, or horse market, in Heilbronn in February, 

before they moved on to Kirchheim/Teck. This season, 

the ride will appear at, among others venues, the fairgrounds 

in Aalen, Völkingen, Speyer, Winnenden, 

Pirmasens and Merzig. The ride has ground measurements 

of 14 x 6 m, a height of 12 m and electrical 

requirements of 15 kW, and requires one transport 

vehicle for relocation.

A great honour was given to the Markt and Schaustellermuseum 

Essen; a number of scenes from 

the documentary film "Peter und der Wolf – Story 

of a World Success” were shot inside the museum. 

The museum is revealed in 15 to 18 minutes – spread 

over 7 parts of the total film, and out of a total film 

length of 52 minutes, and provides for a lovely 

ambience. On Sunday, 4 th May, the film première took 

place at the Essen “Lichtburg” – one of the most 

beautiful cinemas in Germany – in the presence of, 

among others, producer Axel Fuhrmann, author Axel 

Brüggemann, Oscar-award winner Suzie Templeton, 

and actress Isabel von Karajan (the daughter of the 

great conductor). The employees of the Markt and 

Schaustellermuseum were also present at the 

première.

KUDDEL THE SHARK 


Ralf Schmitt 

The family coaster "Kuddel der Hai" from the Belli 

family started off into its second season at the Hamburg 

Frühjahrsdom with a number of new features. 

Since its première last year, there have been a lot of 

changes to the coaster, boasting a total track length of 

135 metres, according to Sascha Belli. New features are, 

among others, a fountain basin in front of the construction, 

as well as several life-size figures from the 

maritime world (including a pirate, which has become a 

popular much-photographed motif) in front of and inside 

the attraction. In the station area with barrier-free access, 

the waiting time for the passengers proves quite 

amusing and entertaining, due to air and water jets being 

installed along the stairs. Also a new feature is that the 

cars of the coaster train are illuminated, so that it is easier

train. This is further enhanced by the right

so that the public outside can follow 

the moment when the train comes out 

of the upper right curve and pulls into the 

long straight. In addition to the appearances 

at the Dom events in Hamburg, this 

year’s tour schedule includes, among 

other venues, the Baumblütenfest, or Tree 

Blossom Festival in Werder, as well as the 

Schützenfest in Hannover.

NAME SIGNS 

LONDON 

Text: Owen Ralph 

After a prolonged tender 

process by London’s 

Royal Parks, PWR Events 

has confirmed that it will 

continue to promote and 

manage Hyde Park Winter 

Wonderland through until 

2017. “We have loved 

creating Hyde Park Winter 

Wonderland from the 

beginning and are delighted 

that we can continue 

to build on its success,” 

says PWR Events 

director Jamie Wells. “Our 

team will continue to develop 

the event and make it 

even better in the coming 

years.” “The free-to-access 

event has become a 

popular destination for visitors 

from around the world,” 

adds Penelope Boyd, head 

of events and filming at The 

Royal Parks. “PWR Events 

have been instrumental in 

making the event a huge 

success and it is now firmly 

established as a top 

attraction in the seasonal 

calendar. Holding events 

not only attracts a diverse 

audience to our parks; they 

also provide a vital source 

of income.” PWR, which 

also organises ice rinks and 

a handful of concerts at 

prestigious sites in and 

around the British capital, 

launched Winter Wonderland 

in 2007 together with 

AEG Live, but has been running 

it solo since 2011. It is 

understood that The Royal 

Parks received at least one 

rival bid for the new fouryear 

contract, including an 

application from AEG. ■ 

DODGEM TRACK 

Text & Photo: Helmut Bresler 

At the Würzburg Frühlingsvolksfest, Heiner Distel 

introduced the new LED-illuminated power poles 

on his dodgem track - a visually very effective idea 

realised by only a couple of dodgem track owners 

so far. 

A new and comic feature is the fact that the LEDs 

reflect the colours and the rhythms of the façade 

lighting, thus providing new effects for the track. The 

driving force behind the idea was his son, Heiner

New name signs could be seen at two large 

attractions in Hamburg and in Berlin at the beginning 

of the new season. At the Hamburg Frühjahrsdom, 

Fellerhoff’s Ghost Ride was equipped with the new 

“Geisterhotel” neon-lit lettering. Moreover, the “Jupiter” 

wheel from the Worms Göbel firm has now become the 

“Juwel” Ferris Wheel. The new name sign was presented 

at the Spring Festival in Berlin for the first time. As of now, 

it can no longer be confused with the “Jupiter” Ferris 

Wheel from the Barth & Kipp firm from Bonn. ■ 

Distel Jnr., who sees the realised theme only as the first 

development stage. The small control boxes in the 

cars, for example, can also register the kind of 

crashes; identify which side they came from and, 

according to the data registered, the power poles of 

the most aggressive and the most defensive driver displayed 

in red or green, as well as further options for 

many other gimmicks. The public’s response was 

highly positive. The new feature was realised by a 

company from Italy specialising in the electronic 

ignition of fireworks displays.

FUZZY’S LACHSALOON 

The building of the 

construction has already begun 

Text: Ralf Schmitt

The draft for Rico Rasch’s 

new Funhouse “Fuzzy’s 

Lachsaloon” 

Rico Rasch from Lunden (Schleswig Holstein), 

who has specialized in ghost rides, will now 

also join the fun sector. His brand new Funhouse, 

“Fuzzy’s Lachsaloon”, will go into 

operation before the end of this season. 

With a front length of 25 metres, a depth of 7 

metres and a height of 14 metres (excluding the 

name sign), the multi-storey construction is without 

doubt to be classified as an “XXL” attraction. The 

name “Fuzzy’s Lachsaloon” may well be known to 

“more mature” fair enthusiasts in Germany. After 

all, a combination of a ride and walkthrough 

construction of the same name was toured by, 

among others, the Peeters firm many years ago. 

Rico Rasch revived this name – and with it also the 

currently somewhat neglected “Wild West” theme 

for funhouse constructions. While the construction 

is built by the Czech manufacturer Ride Technic 

(which recently has caused a huge furore with a 

number of its projects such as, among others, the 

new Prater ghost ride as well as the construction 

of Ferris WheelsFreefall towers, walkthrough 

constructions and giant chain rides – and can 

already list several German customers as references 

for future contracts), the experts from the 

Dutch BB Dekorateurs firm were contracted for the 

design. According to the draft (and as Rico Rasch 

explained in an interview with the Kirmes & Park 

Revue) “Fuzzy’s Lachsaloon” will boast several 

unique features and novelties. At the end of the 

multi-storey experience course, for example, 

visitors can choose between several options to 

come back downstairs; either through the 12-metre 

giant spiral slide, via a sliding pole, or even in a 

“freefall” from the built-in Freefall tower. Less 

daring visitors can also use the conventional staircase, 

however. But even the stairs inside this funhouse 

hold many surprises, he did not want to give 

any further details at that stage. 

The construction will be built on two centre trailers. 

“Fuzzy’s Lachsaloon” is to go into operation this 

season, in late autumn – or possibly at a very wellattended 

Christmas Market. In anticipation of the 

new purchase, Rasch has parted with his “Fantasmagor” 

Ghost Ride.

Just as announced in the autumn of 2013 (“planned / ordered 

/ confirmed delivery March 2014!”!), the brand new “Mega King 

Tower” from Andreas Zinnecker has now gone into operation. 

The photos shown here were taken on the “launch date” at the 

Palmkirmes in Recklinghausen, from where the Freefall Tower 

toured on to its official inauguration at the Stuttgart Frühlingsfest 

at a lightning pace. In Stuttgart, the “Mega King Tower” was 

presented with the second paybox still missing in Recklinghausen, 

further decoration and lighting elements – and the monkey on top 

of the tower. More details will be available in the next Kirmes &

The third staging of the Wuppertal Mega Fair at the 

stadium/zoo will be held from 9 th to 12 th May. 

Although the event has proven successful from the 

very beginning, some people are still critical of the 

name “Mega Fair”. Those responsible for organising 

the event take some note of the criticism, but 

with some amusement and a wink of the eye however. 

After all, the deliberately chosen and 

provocative name was an essential part of the 

marketing campaign. 

Never before has the regional media covered a fair 

event in the 'cable car city' so extensively. The Westdeutsche 

Zeitung newspaper, Radio Wuppertal, and 

the WDR television station with its series “Lokalzeit 

Bergisch-Land” covered the event in detail and 

praised the new fair event in the city’s centre. Therefore, 

there is no reason to change the name. The Mega 

Fair has established itself and provokes a great of 

debate in Wuppertal. The date of the event has been 

rescheduled from June to May, however. The first two 

events took place immediately after the Sterkrade 

Fronleichnamskirmes; in other words on the second 

weekend after Corpus Christi Day, so that some of the 

showmen were able to relocate to Wuppertal from 

there. A second argument in favour of this date is the 

“football free time” in the stadium at the zoo. This year, 

on the occasion of the FIFA World Cup, an outdoor 

screening was to be held inside the stadium – yet two 

large events could not really be held at the same time. 

However, the plans for this event apparently have now 

fallen apart. Nonetheless, Wuppertal’s largest city 

festival, “Lange Tisch”, or “long table”, with a total 

length of 13 kilometres, is to take place on the said 

weekend, with the locals celebrating their own festival 

with more than 40 stages along the Talachse. Everybody 

places tables and chairs in front of their doors 

and bring out food and drinks. The fair event would 

hardly have stood a chance against the city festival 

being held only every five years. This is the reason that 

the city authorities offered the second weekend in May 

as an alternative date, as the Wuppertal Sports Club 

has an away match on this weekend and thus

everything should work out smoothly. Next year, the 

Mega-Fair can be held on the second weekend after 

Corpus Christi Day again. 

This year, there will be even more space available for 

the Wuppertal Volksfest. While only the area in front of 

the cable car station and in front of the stadium stand 

could be used for the première in 2012, it was possible 

to place the “Spinning Racer” coaster on the 

additional football pitch last year. Now the city 

authorities have ruled that fairground attractions can 

also be built up on this additional football pitch. In 

principle, this is a reason for joy – but in the meantime 

there have been some dark clouds appearing in the 

fairground sky. As the circus and fairground site on 

Carnaper Straße is currently being developed, it will no 

longer be available for the Easter Fair and circus 

appearances, and there are plans to use the 

additional football pitch at the stadium as a general 

festival ground. As a result, the Mega-Fair would lose 

its unique feature of being the only event held in this 

area. In theory, this area is completely unsuitable for 

other events, as it is partly fenced-in and circus or other 

Volksfest events lasting more than two weekends can 

only be held during the football season's summer 

break. For that reason alone, the city authorities should 

look around for a more suitable site. Unfortunately, the 

communication between the city authorities and the 

two showman associations concerning the search for 

other festival grounds has proven quite poor. 

More Space Available 

This year, visitors to the Mega-Fair will be able to enjoy 

six novelties for Wuppertal. With the “Jupiter” 

(Barth/Kipp) a 50-metre Ferris Wheel will come to 

Wuppertal for the first time. The Ferris Wheel, clearly 

visible from any distance, will be used as the primary 

advertising medium for the fair. It will be built up in the 

entrance area with Markmann’s “Nessy”, a large 

family swing, standing directly opposite. With Hartmann’s 

“Krumm & Schief Bau”, the funniest construction 

site in the world will make its début directly in 

front of the cable car station. The “Hexentanz” (Markmann) 

will await visitors directly in front of the 

additional football pitch, along with two further 

novelties; namely the “Shake & Roll” (Schäfer) and the 

“Sky-Trip” from Hartman. The additional football pitch 

will be laid out as a classic circuit course where the 

dodgem track from Fuhrmann, Sterzenbach’s simulator 

“Adventure Live” and Kreft’s “Love-Express” will 

be presented. They will be joined by Fuhrmann’s chain 

ride and the kiddie rides from Kretz, Bauer and Hartmann. 

10,000 Flyers and Synchronized Fireworks 

The advertising campaign will be further intensified 

with huge, eye-catching posters at the cable car 

stations and throughout the city, as well as by 31 radio 

commercials aired during the week of build-up and 

throughout the event. Moreover, large advertisements 

will be placed in the Westdeutsche Zeitung newspaper, 

the BILD tabloid and in cinema programmes, 

and 10,000 flyers will be distributed to local households. 

Even though there will be numerous car parks 

in close proximity to the festival grounds, visitors are 

recommended to use the cable car operating throughout 

the event. For the opening of the fair the 

synchronized fireworks display will once again be held 

on both stadium stands, and Monday will be the 

designated Family Day with considerably reduced 

prices.

PREMIÈRE 

Première at Langenfeld: 

Maik Landwermann’s speedy 

“Kick Down” ride 

The Italian Fabbri Group did not 

build many “Contact” rides. As it 

was launched at the very 

beginning of the swing and 

propeller attraction boom, only 

little attention has been paid to 

this ride type, even though the 

construction scores well in 

public consciousness due to its 

attractive ride pattern and 

economic efficiency. Two examples 

are currently on tour 

throughout Germany. Maik Landwermann 

has now purchased 

one and redesigned it as the 

“Kick Down”.

fter the “Fliegender Teppich” (Zierer), Maik 

ALandwermann and his partner Stefanie Hohmann 

operated from 2005 to 2012 this newly 

purchased attraction, which is the second ride for 

the show couple hailing from Asendorf and Munich. 

Having sold the “Fliegender Teppich” to the 

Ukraine two years ago, they explored the 

market, checked various options, and certainly 

did not make a hasty decision. Last year however, 

they eventually hit lucky with the “Eclipse” 

ride – a “Contact” built by Fabbri from the Störzer 

firm in Marktheidenfeld in Southern Germany. 

Landwermann was immediately impressed by this 

attraction, discussed it with his family, and then 

contacted the owner family Störzer. This spontaneous 

approach revealed that, given the fact that the 

Störzer family were planning a new purchase

– but “with a heavy heart”. Nonetheless, the 

Störzer family came to be highly satisfied with the 

deal, which was duly struck in a relatively short 

time. After its last appearance under Störzer 

management at the Herbstvolksfest in Cologne, the 

ride was handed over without any hitches. Maik 

Landwermann was determined to give the ride a 

“Kick Down” in detail

facelift, and the “Eclipse” duly turned into 

the “Kick Down”. In addition to a thorough 

technical overhaul, he invested heavily in 

the ride’s visual appearance. Uwe Elfering 

(the Landwermann family’s “house artist” 

of many years standing; among other 

notables, he designed the Ferris Wheels) 

was the “Master” of redesign, creating 

among other features the striking new 

“Kick Down” name sign. The Reckmann 

firm supplied the new lighting system, 

including the prominent flame LEDs on the 

backflash and the side walls. While the 

Dröge firm was responsible for the electrical equipment, 

cables and wiring, the brand new sound 

system was delivered by Uhlenbrock. The Plexiglas 

panes were removed all around, as well as the ride 

disc handrails, which were 

replaced by new handrail 

bars built by a locksmith, 

providing not only an 

appealing visual appearance 

but also a better view 

of the passengers. Finally, 

the “Kick Down” was ready 

for its première at the fair 

(with city festival) in 

Langenfeld, which turned out to be a big success. 

The ride was virtually besieged, largely by 

adolescent passengers, and made its rounds 

almost continually with the specially produced 

“Kick Down” song, played after a 'countdown', 

accompanying every ride and evolving decidedly 

into a catchy song. After the successful première 

the “Kick Down” went on to the Frühlingsfest in 

Hannover, where it will make another appearance 

at the “largest Schützenfest in the world” this 

coming summer. Further venues this season will be, 

among others, Hof, Oesede, Gesmold, Neuss, 

Bruchhausen-Vilsen, and the Lullusfest in Bad 

Hersfeld.

question as to 

whether or not the 

visitors would accept 

the attraction is a 

clear “yes”, absolutely 

without any 

“ifs” or “buts”. Even 

during its première 

the novelty was very 

well frequented, and 

visitors - both young and old alike - noticeably had 

great fun and enjoyed the heady trip through the 

chaotic airport, which was equipped with a large 

number of distinctive decoration elements such as, 

among others, an original serving trolley from the 

former GDR airline “Interflug”, an authentic baggage 

trolley from Erfurt airport, a large aeroplane above the 

construction, as well as several newly designed 

moving elements. Due to the open design of the 

construction, spectators have an unobstructed view of 

almost all sections of the two-storey obstacle course. 

The completely open front section is dominated by a 

large water basin serving as a “kerosene lake”, a 

rolling barrel, an escape slide just as in a real plane, 

and an airport control tower designed as a climbing 

tower. 

But let us start at the very beginning: Having acquired 

the boarding cards at the paybox, visitors have to 

negotiate the obstacles in the water basin with spitting 

fountains. Next comes a rolling belt and a labyrinth,

The Airport tower can also be

moving baggage lockers and a shaking platform. 

Moving staircases lead up to the top storey, 

where the course first goes through a dark, smoky 

chamber – the "smoke box” as it is known in airports. 

From there conveyor belts, glass floors and a moving 

balcony lead to a scaffolding replete with obstacles. 

After this, the course runs down again to the rolling 

barrel (which can also be bypassed) and to the 

climbing tower, either via the escape slide or on foot 

At the inauguration, the 

guests were provided with food 

and drink by flight attendants 

from “Haberkorn Air”

moving stairway, visitors finally find themselves back 

on the ground. 

The “Chaos Airport” logo and the name sign have been 

mounted on the roof of the construction. On a multimedia 

LED wall of several square metres, mounted 

below the rim, an amusing video spurs on visitors to 

take part. It will not be long before live scenes of the 

visitors inside the construction are also to be presented 

on this media wall. The construction is 

equipped with the latest LED technology and the bicoloured 

name sign is illuminated by neon light and 

LEDs. Even on the first opening day one could see that 

the Funhouse was frequented by both young and old, 

as well as by whole families, who experienced much 

fun inside the chaotic airport. After the successful 

première in Erfurt, the “Chaos Airport” will also be 

presented at, among other venues, the Frühlingsfest 

in Chemnitz, the Freischießen in Peine, the Brezelfest 

in Speyer, the Fischerfest in Gernsheim/Rhine and at 

the autumn Dippemess, as well as the Herbstmesse in 

Freiburg this year. With ground measurements of 22 x 

10 metres, electrical requirements of 25 kW, with the 

climbing tower being 12 metres in height, relocating 

the Funhouse requires two transport vehicles (1 

centre trailer and 1 roller incorporated into the 

construction).

On 4 th April, the brand new Walkthrough 

construction “Rio” from 

the Saarbrücken Dietz family, 

who are also touring a Miami, 

went into operation at the Osterkirmes 

in Saarlouis. After its 

inauguration by showman pastor 

Manfred Simon, the attraction 

was opened in the presence of 

numerous showmen colleagues 

and friends.

The four-level Funhouse was built as a prototype 

by the Czech firm Ride Technic last year, 

but unfortunately the scheduled date of completion 

was repeatedly delayed. On completion 

the construction was transported to the Dietz hall 

in Saarbrücken in October, where a number of 

effects (ordered from the Gosetto firm) were built 

in, and some technical details were changed. 

According to the owner, the Funhouse is the first 

in Germany to feature a “Sky Walk”, enabling 

visitors to walk above the spectators’ heads at a 

height of 10 metres. Providing a beautiful view, 

visitors can also take photos from this platform.

Along the Brazilian-themed course, visitors have 

to negotiate more than 20 obstacles, including a 

bouncing suspended walkway, a rotating barrel, 

moving staircases, neon cords, vibrating floors, 

a water course, rotating discs and a slide. LED’s 

and spotlights illuminate the construction after 

dark. The front was colourfully painted with much 

naked skin, and the Samba dancers in short outfits 

may well attract much attention. 

Further light effects, spotlights and decoration 

elements are currently being installed. After the 

première in Saarlouis, the Dietz family will also 

present their attraction at, among other venues, 

Kehl and Kusel this season. The Funhouse has 

ground measurements of 19 x 6 metres, a height 

of 14 metres, and electrical requirements of about 

15 kW. The complete construction is transported 

on two trailers (1 centre trailer and 1 baggage 

van).

Reutlingen Frühlingsfest 

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt 

Every year, the Frühlingsfest is held on the Bösmannsäcker 

fairground in Reutlingen – this year 

from 22 nd to 30 th March. 

For several years, the event has been organised by 

Kai Weeber, who succeeded in putting together a 

varied selection of fairground 

attractions once 

again this year. The Ferris 

Wheel from Jost, visible 

from any distance, provided 

visitors with a 

magnificent view. Highly 

popular with the younger 

generation were the 

“Intoxx” (Pandel) and the 

“Flipper” from Meeß. They 

were joined by Ruoff’s 

“Jaguar”, a dodgem 

track, Eickholt’s “Twister", and the “XXL Funhouse” 

from Renz, and the younger visitors enjoyed a Jet Ride, 

a kiddie ride and a kiddie track ride. Near the entrance 

there was a small but very cosy rustic-styled beer 

garden. While reduced ride prices and special offers 

attracted many visitors to the fairground already on the 

Wednesday and Thursday, the Spring Festival was 

very well attended also during the second weekend 

due to beautiful weather.

SCHRIESHEIM

Funhouse” in Schriesheim 

About 160,000 visitors were recorded at the 435 th 

Mathaisemarkt in Schriesheim, which took place 

from 7 th to 11 th and from 14 th to 16 th March this year. 

As is now tradition, the Matheisemarkt began with the 

coronation of the Wine Queen on the Friday. This year, 

the event achieved record visitor attendance, as not only 

beautiful weather but also this year’s 1250 th city anniversary 

attracted the visitors to the fairground at the fire 

station. Due to the city anniversary, the festival procession 

on the first Sunday was extended from 40 to 95 

28

participants and began early at about 1 p.m. Moreover, 

another procession with a number of marching bands 

was held on the second Sunday. Once again, the Mathaisemarkt 

offered a highly varied supporting programme. 

Boxing matches, the rally of medium-sized 

companies with Baden Württemberg Prime Minister 

Kretschmann inside the beer tent, the big FM-Disco- 

Party, the Kiddie Day and the fireworks display contributed 

to the event’s success. The fairground at the foot 

of the Strahlenburg was well worth seeing. Even though 

no genuine novelty was presented this year, a varied 

selection of fairground attractions, including the “Breakdance” 

(Bruch), “Dschungel Train” (Bruch), the “Juwel” 

Ferris Wheel (Göbel), the “The King” (Zinnecker), “XXL- 

Funhouse” (Renz), Dodgem Track (Haas), and several 

kiddie rides could be enjoyed by both young and old. ■

The Frühjahrsmarkt in the city in the Odenwald 

region was celebrated on Europaplatz 

from 28 th March to 1 st April this year. 

Bügler’s “Adrenalin” Freefall Tower, a real highlight, 

could once again be contracted for this 

year’s event after a 10-year break, when visitors 

were last able experience freefalls in 

Schneider’s “Power Tower” a decade ago on the 

occasion of the Hessentag, or Hesse Day. The 

“Street Fighter” from A. Zinnecker offered the 

public lots of swinging fun, with the “Millennium” 

dodgem track from Göbel being placed directly 

opposite. 

Moreover, the “Taiga Jet” was presented as a 

family ride and for the first time under the 

management of Schneider. In Bügler’s “Simulator”, 

visitors were able to experience racy 

chases. Also presented were two classic kiddie 

rides, a kiddie chain ride and a nostalgic swing 

boat, as well as concession stalls of all kinds and 

a beer garden. The Family Day on 1 st April was 

held in marvellously sunny weather.

A LOOK BACK 

BERLIN-SPANDAU 


Ralf Schmitt 

Freiwald’s “Breakdance" 

on the new fairground at the 

Spandau citadel 

The first “Frühlings- 

Spar-Volksfest” at the citadel in 

Berlin-Spandau 

The Frühlingsfest in Berlin- 

Spandau was held at a new 

venue and with a new concept 

from 22 nd to 30 th March. 

The organiser Thilo-Harry Wollenschlaeger 

relocated the 

festival from the site near the 

“Spandau-Arcaden” to the new 

festival grounds at the underground 

station “Zitadelle” 

Spandau, only two stops away. 

Providing fun and entertainment 

to the visitors on this site were, 

among others, the “Nessi” 

coaster (Schuder), a dodgem 

track (Noack), “Remmi Demmi” 

(Janßen), “Breakdance” (Freiwald), kiddie track ride 

and another kiddie ride, as well as a number of 

sales and games booths, shooting galleries, 

Continental pick stands and gastronomic 

operations. The official 

name of the event was 

“Frühlings-Spar-Volksfest”, 

or Spring-Savings-Volksfest 

– even though it was 

referred to as “1-Euro- 

Volksfest” by the organizer’s 

flyers. Indeed, there 

were many special offers – 

but not everything was 

available for €1 as many a 

visitor may well have interpreted 

the information in the 

advertising. At the “Breakdance” for example, the 

fare was really €1 – but only if one bought 10 ride 

chips for €10. The same principle applied to the 

dodgem track, where the fare was €1 if 5 chips were 

purchased, and at the “Remmi Demmi” Funhouse 

the entrance fee amounted to €3 for three visits per 

person. Really available for €1 were, for example, a 

crêpe with sugar, a fried sausage, and a mini 

portion of fried chips as well as various drinks. The 

tip for saving as much money as possible in the 

organiser’s press release said: “Those who want to 

save money cleverly simply join up with other Volksfest 

visitors and buy the required number of ride 

chips at a special price of €1. At the same time, this 

encourages communication and helps in making 

new contacts.” True, the new venue of the Spring 

Festival lacked “customers passing by” as there are 

almost only business operations all around, but it 

had a good connection to the underground system; 

indeed, with the “Zitadelle”, its very own underground 

station. At a press conference held already 

prior to the event on 19 th March, the organiser Thilo- 

Harry Wollenschlaeger handed over a €800- 

cheque (the revenues from selling Christmas trees 

at the last Spandau “Weihnachtstraum” event) to the 

“Stark ohne Gewalt” (Strength without Violence) 

initiative.

MÜNSTER 

“Konga” and "Voodoo 

Jumper” in Münster 

Bonner’s “Breakdance” at 

the Send in Münster 


Photos: Michael Petersen, Nils Benthien 

The Frühjahrssend (22 nd to 30 th March) was very 

prominently occupied. Apart from the "Traumgenerator” 

boasting excellent animations by the 

popular and well-known "Cyborg”, there was no 

other novelty this time. 

In addition to what 

was covered in our 

preview, Schäfer’s 

"Voodoo Jumper” and 

the looping swing 

from Marquis enhanced 

the selection 

of large ride attractions. 

The Schlossplatz 

fairground was 

convincingly laid out 

with the critical corner 

sites being prominently 

occupied this 

year, and the Ferris 

Wheel having been 

relocated further towards the centre of the fairground. 

Moreover, with a larger number of marketers selling 

their goods at the side of the castle this year, this 

section made a more unified and generally cosier 

impression. Unfortunately, the Topfmarkt had been 

reduced to a bare minimum though. After all, the 

“miracle cures” that used to be sold at markets can be 

found almost everywhere these days, especially on TV 

and on the internet. All in all, the Frühjahrssend offered 

an appealing layout. Unfortunately, there were insufficient 

seating possibilities available outside the 

showman attractions; and indeed, small rest areas 

would certainly be very well received due to the 

increasing average age of visitors. Being able to linger 

and relax from time to time might well entice this visitor 

group to stay longer and spend more money. 

Particularly noticeable was the fact that two regular 

participants from the gastronomic sector of many 

years standing were no longer present. Indeed, 

several showmen have disappeared from the Send 

over the last few years. Thanks to the weather, the 

participating operators were largely satisfied with their 

turnover – some of them faring better and others 

worse, as was also the case at all the other events. ■ 

COMMENT MÜNSTER 


The Send in Münster refuses to settle down. 

Changes have become the order of the day at this 

traditional event, and there has been no year without 

such changes throughout the duration of the event's 

existence. The coming summer's Send as well as 

next year’s events will also be rescheduled. It should 

be remembered that the Send can look back on a 

tradition of more than 1,200 years, and has evolved 

into a Volksfest event known nationwide during the 

course of the centuries. The Send is held on the 

Schlossplatz three times a year; in spring, summer, 

and in autumn. 

The duration of the event has always been five days, 

from Thursday to Monday; a fixture known to the 

locals and guests from near and far. But then the 

spring Send was extended from 5 to 9 days, no 

longer beginning on Thursday but on Saturday. With 

the extension to 9 days, and thus 2 weekends, the 

32

organisers hoped to be able to contract attractive 

large rides. Moreover, the extended duration might 

sometimes make up for poor weather. Hopes at least 

for large ride attractions have not come to fruition to 

this day, however. With the duration of the autumn 

Send also extended to nine days in yet another 

change last year, the former total of 15 days have 

now been increased to 23 opening days. But that is 

not all, due to the FIFA World Cup, this year‘s 

summer Send has been postponed to July, thereby 

overlapping with the Düsseldorf Rheinwiese. Even 

though a huge football event is fierce competition for 

the showmen, they have to cope with it every two 

years all the same. Fan miles and the joint 

experience of the World and European Football 

Championships are extremely popular – as long as 

the German team is still competing in the 

FÜRTH 

Text & Photos: Helmut Bresler 

For the sixth time now, the Fürth 

Frühlingsfest (29 th March to 6 th 

April) has been staged with a new 

concept, but still with the usual 

colourful mixture of market 

merchants and showmen. At the 

end of the 9-day event, the 

organiser Eduard Wentzl was 

highly satisfied. 

“Fantastic weather, a varied supporting programme and a 

good list of operators”, was his succinct summary of the 

reasons for its success. A prominent landmark was the 

“Extrem” propeller, presented under the new management 

of Matthias Mölter and very well received in Fürth. An open 

shopping Sunday, a Kiddie Day, a daily-changing stage 

programme, a laser show, as well as the now traditional 

“tractor meet” on the last opening Sunday attracted the 

public in droves. In appropriate spring temperatures, 

everything went well. It was a successful start. ■

and “Extrem” from Mölter, the beautiful 

flowers as a welcome at the entrance, a Lanz 

tractor, and showman Matthias Mölter (m.) with 

the municipal organisers of the Michaeliskärwa, 

André Hollitzer (r.) and Thomas Oberndorfer 

tournament. But that is not nearly all, the spring Send 

2015 is also rescheduled to be held only on the 

second weekend after Easter, when the Easter 

festivals in Cologne and Aachen also occur. Does 

this postponement make sense? There may well be 

hope for better and warmer weather, but the weather 

can also be not too 'fairground friendly' after Easter. 

With the spring Send being held late, next year’s 

summer Send will be postponed until July. 

The Münster Send events should soon be back to 

regular schedules. What do the organisers really 

want? Is it a long spring Send with a late beginning 

and a long autumn Send and no summer Send, or 

three Send events with new schedules? One can 

only hope that the fair tradition in Münster will not be 

shipwrecked due to permanently changing 

schedules.

SOLINGEN 

Text & Photo: Michael Petersen 

After snow, freezing 

temperatures and ice last 

year, the Solingen residents 

were able to celebrate 

a proper spring fair 

in beautiful weather from 

28 th March to 6 th April this 

year. Due to pleasant 

temperatures, visitor numbers 

noticeably increased 

in comparison to last year, 

bringing the showmen 

good financial results. The 

classic circuit course on the 

fairground was once again 

prominently occupied and 

appealingly laid out. 

Relocating a number of ride 

attractions resulted in a new 

overall image. The “Ghost 

Hotel” fitted perfectly into 

the narrow top end site, and 

the new sites of the “Breakdance” 

and the “Rainbow” 

were also well chosen. 

Somewhat unfavourable 

was the location of the 

“Fluch der Piraten” round 

ride (Polyp) as a mere side 

stall, though. Moreover, this 

ride was presented completely 

“naked” and without 

any decoration elements, 

as the operator had not 

been able to install these 

components after an entire 

renovation. In addition to 

the two weekends, the 

Family Day was also a 

particularly strong turnover 

day.

NOSTALGIA 

Pascal Raviol’s 

historic Raupenbahn is 

currently being restored 

Unusual measures are currently 

being taken by Pascal Raviol to 

save a historic ride from being 

scrapped. After already personally 

investing €45,000 into this 

project, this initial fund is now 

considerably diminished; about 

€20,000 more is still required for 

completion of the restoration, 

and is now to be raised by the socalled 

“Crowd-funding” technique. 

Project Caterpillar Ride

A restorer is to reveal 

again the paintings’ original 

visual glory 

Crowd-funding is a method of raising funds for 

projects, products or business ideas. The 

money comes from a large number of people, 

generally internet users, as crowd-funding is 

mostly to be found on the World Wide Web. Many 

start-up companies have been founded in this 

way, some of them to later become multi-million- 

Euro outfits. Pascal Raviol’s “Caterpillar Ride” 

project may now well be the first of its kind in the 

showman sector, although it is not about making 

profit, but about raising a relatively small 

amount to preserve a historic ride for coming 

generations. And as the initiator cannot thank 

the supporters with shares or dividends, they get 

“things you cannot buy” as a way of saying thank 

you such as, for example, five free rides on the 

Caterpillar ride for a contribution of €10 to €20. 

€100 entitles contributors to free use of the ride 

for a lifetime, as long as the ride is operational 

and under Raviol’s ownership, and €500 gets 

those concerned a priceless experience; 

namely spending a whole weekend at the Caterpillar’s 

venue, including accommodation in a 

caravan, free rides on the Caterpillar, a look 

behind the scenes and, on request, also helping 

during build-up and dismantling, as well as 

getting a lift on the traction unit. Pascal Raviol 

has come up with many other “things, you cannot 

buy”, all of them listed on the project website 

(see box). 

But, what happens with the supporters’ money? 

It allows for further restoration of the Caterpillar 

ride built in 1946 by the Cologne ride manufacturer 

Achtendong, boasting a special diameter 

of only 10 metres. Despite this “small” size, 

the ride is no kiddie Caterpillar – also adults may 

take a ride. Pascal Raviol and his team do the 

major part of the restorations – but certain jobs 

have to be carried out by craft enterprises or 

specialists due to lack of tools or know how. By 

the way, the wooden baggage van belonging to 

the ride is currently also being renovated. In any 

case, the ride’s original winter outfit is to be 

preserved so that it may well be presented also 

at a Christmas Market.

visitors could choose between several options. 

There was scaled entrance fees; the cheapest 

price being €9 per child accompanied by an 

adult for unlimited use at all attractions. Further 

offers (from €14 to €20) included food/table 

reservation in the gastro section, a souvenir, 

sweets and several surprises additionally. 

Actually, the appearance in Metz was a test run 

for this new concept, which can not only be presented 

as a single attraction just as well as a 

circus, but also as a feature of a major event, such 

as a Christmas Market for example. The 

operators were highly satisfied with the visitor 

attendance at the première in Metz.

H0-scale: the GDR 

fairground from Rico Mäcke 

from Chemnitz 

Nowadays, 1:87-scale fairground 

models and dioramas are sometimes 

built to a quality scarcely 

conceivable not so many years 

ago. Constructed down to the 

smallest detail and with true-tooriginal 

movement sequences 

and lighting effects precisely 

reproduced, these superlative 

models evidence their builders’ 

extraordinary handicraft skills. 

However, the premier league of 

H0-scale model construction is 

reserved for only a couple of 

specialists who possess the 

required tools and machines. 

There is however, also a simpler 

version of fairground model 

construction that requires considerably 

less effort, and such is 

the means by which hobby 

model builder Rico Mäcke from 

Chemnitz (Saxony) built his 

small nostalgic fairground. 

Text: Rolf Orschel

H0-scale Nostalgic Fair 

Rico Mäcke is 36 years old and grew up in his 

parent's showman business. Even though his 

father tours a kiddie ride and a confectionery booth 

to this day, Rico Mäcke’s parents wanted their son 

to learn a different profession. After graduating from 

school, he first trained as a locksmith and later he 

was also a qualified machining technician. To this 

day, he likes to recall his childhood and youth, as 

he was strongly formed by his time spent on the fairgrounds, 

which naturally also influenced the 

construction of his fairground models. Rico Mäcke 

busied himself with fairground model construction, 

given that his parents had presented him with a fairground 

model kit every Christmas up until a 

number of years ago. Having assembled a small 

fairground model with a number of rides and 

concession stalls, he realized that it did not really 

mean much to him. Therefore he decided to build 

a model of the miniature fairground of the 1980s 

with rides and fairground booths, where he used to 

play as a child. That was more than five years ago 

– years in which he busied himself with his project 

for several hours after work. The 1 m x 40 cm 

construction features seven functional rides, a pony 

ride and nine concession stalls. All the details of the 

model fair were built according to the hobby model 

builder’s own memories, old photos and trade 

magazines.

“Everything is to look as 

authentic as possible. The 

attractions have been placed 

close together just as they used 

to be back then. Apart from 

eleven electric motors, many 

Preiser figures and several 

reconstructed customary vehicles, I built everything 

myself – a truly unique model,” Mäcke 

proudly reports. “For building the models I mainly 

used wood, cardboard, pins, matches, wire, and 

various glues and paints. The pillars of the large 

rides were made from pins, and painted cling film 

was used as ride tarpaulins. It took four months and 

a little skill to build a ride from the wooden components, 

cardboard and wire by grinding and 

painting them,” says Rico Mäcke. Base plates and 

drive systems from the Faller Musik Express model 

kit were used for the Matterhorn, the Fahrt ins Blaue 

and the Waltzer ride. Moreover, the Faller chain ride 

and swing boat were rebuilt as more realistic 

examples. Laying out his model, the model builder 

also attached much attention to details he recalls 

from this childhood. Taking a closer look at the small 

nostalgic fairground, one discovers among other 

details a candy floss stall, a rotating table wheel, a 

long queue in front of the bratwurst stall, a child

fair model builders may be reluctant to build fairground 

models without conforming to precise exact 

scales, but in this case the result certainly justifies 

this method. Rico Mäcke did not want to simply 

accomplish a prodigious feat in fairground model 

construction, but rather just simply to enjoy 

tinkering in his free time. His models clearly show 

that it was most important for him to keep alive the 

memories of the time he experienced on the fairgrounds 

as a child.

President Albert Ritter 

Portugal's Showmen Demonstrate for their Future 

President Albert Ritter in Talks with Colleagues in Lisbon 

President Albert Ritter with Portuguese showman 

colleagues. 

In the middle of March 2014, President Albert 

Ritter met up with representatives of 

the Portuguese Associação Portuguesa de 

Empresas de Diversão (APED) for talks. Discussions 

were about the current questions 

and problems of colleagues. Portugal has 

been experiencing a difficult economic crisis 

for years, which naturally also has an effect 

on the showman industry. President Albert 

Ritter promised the support of the ESU. 

Protest for the retention of the Antwerp „Sinksenfoor“ 

■ Unjustified police brutality against showmen 

■ ESU condemns strongly against inappropriate police action 

■ In Belgium, as in countless German states, 

the fairground tradition is to be wiped out 

Showmen demonstrated at the end of March in 

Antwerp for the retention of the traditional 

"Sinksenfoor" fair. In the process there were 

massive excesses on the part of the special police 

task force. The Belgian task force exercised 

brutal violence against the showmen. Around 

40 showmen, among them ESU Vice President 

Franck Delforge were violently arrested. The 

European Showman Union condemned this 

police action strongly and called on all show- 

Even before the beginning of the new Volksfest 

season, the showmen in Portugal had big problems. 

„In particular it's the location fee to the 

organiser that makes difficulties“ emphasised 

Luís Paulo Fernandes, President of the Portuguese 

showman association, to President Ritter. 

Fernandes surmised that particularly due to 

the economic recession, the communities in 

the strongly troubled regions of the country 

with their high fees are „milking" the showmen. 

Albert Ritter clearly rejected this policy: „We will 

not tolerate communities lining their pockets 

paid for by our colleagues. We will put up a fight 

in the whole of Europe against this political arbitrariness 

against the showmen," declared Ritter. 

Since over a year Portugal's showmen have 

been protesting for better conditions; lastly on 

the 6th March in front of the Transport Ministry 

in Lisbon. The colleagues are demanding a harmonisation 

of the traffic rules and the sinking or

men in Europe for solidarity with our Belgian 

colleagues. 

Wednesday 26th March 2014: in the early morning 

hours a couple of hundred showmen demonstrated 

with their vehicles on the streets in the direction 

of Antwerp. With their action they were protesting 

about the court decision that the traditional „Sinksenfoor" 

fair is to take place outside of the city in 

the future.

exemption for example of toll fees and road taxes. 

Additionally, they require less bureaucracy 

and a uniform authorisation. 

The drastic steps in saving and new tax laws 

lead in Portugal not only to less turnover but also 

to endangered employment and with that 

the existence of the Volksfests in the long term. 

The Portuguese government and political representatives 

have repeatedly announced their 

willingness to help the showmen in the past, 

without any results worthy of mention to date. 

As a result the Portuguese showmen will continue 

to protest. 

President Fernandes thanked President Ritter in 

the name of all Portuguese showmen for his 

support and the solidarity of the European 

Showman Association.

Kirmes with Great Tradition 

The „Sinksenfoor", that had its regular place in 

the historic harbour area of Antwerp, looks back 

at a centuries old tradition. With one million 

visitors annually, it is one of the largest Volksfests 

in Belgium, and offers more than 150 

showmen an income. However to real estate investors, 

the traditional event has been a thorn 

in their side for a long time. For this reason they 

initiated a court case due to noise pollution. The 

real background: the city section where the 

event takes place has developed into an attractive 

residential area with expensive shops, restaurants 

and art galleries, and the real estate 

prices are accordingly high. The festival area will 

apparently be used for real estate projects in the 

future, in order to increase the prices of the 

shops, houses, and apartments. The "Sinksenfoor" 

has been allocated an earlier station area 

in the city suburb of Borgerhout, with an approval 

for use for only three years. 

Military action against showman protest? 

The new location is however not acceptable for 

the showmen. And so they took to the streets 

at the end of March. During their protest against 

the moving of the „Sinksenfoor" the showmen 

were inappropriately and massively attacked 

by the police. There were brutal assaults and arrests 

by the officers of a special task force. And it 

will get even worse. Cathy Berx, Governor of the 

Antwerp province is of the opinion that her ad-

in Belgium.

ministration and the city of Antwerp could well 

call on the military for help in the case of renewed 

protests and street blockades on the part of 

the showmen. This sort of action has been approved 

for some time by the Belgian Defence 

and Interior Ministries, according to Berx. 

„Police Operation is a Breach of Democratic 

Rights" 

The European Showman Union has strongly 

criticized the inappropriate police assault and 

also the possible deployment of the military 

against the showmen. „Our solidarity and recognition 

to the Belgian showmen who have 

demonstrated for the protection of the fair in 

Antwerp. The police action against our colleagues 

is a breach of all democratic rights within 

the European Union. An additional deploy- 

ment of the military is not acceptable. It can't be 

true that the economic ambitions of a few real 

estate speculators are more important than the 

interested hundreds of thousands of fairground 

fans" said Albert Ritter. He also appealed 

to the Lord Mayor and the Antwerp City 

Council: „It's not only about the employment of 

many showmen that is at stake, but also the future 

of the cultural possession of the Volksfest in 

the city of Antwerp. We showmen will not allow 

our democratic right of the freedom of expression 

to be taken by pepper spray and policetruncheons. 

Unity gives strength!" ■

The new Launch 

Coaster is located directly 

at the entrance to Vialand 

and is noticeable from afar 

The Turkish Prime Minister 

Erdogan may well restrict the 

freedom of the press, disable 

Twitter, forbid YouTube, and he 

can answer peaceful protests 

with a massive show of the authority 

of the state, and yes he can 

maybe even re-implement the 

God state, and in his own 

interest not prevent corruption. 

But there is one thing that he 

doesn't do, and that's to forbid 

fun for the Turkish population! 

Vialand – an Update 


Frank Lanfer 

The irrepressible urge for entertainment is not 

only expressed by the pulsating night lift in 

Istanbul and elsewhere, but also in the many new 

park projects in the whole of Turkey. There's no 

other country apart from Asia that currently has so 

many theme parks coming into being as Turkey 

(see KPR 4/2014). The first large project of this 

type was the Vialand Tema Park that opened on 

the 29 th May 2013 which is a part of the total project 

called Vialand and which includes an outdoor 

shopping mall that arose on an Istanbul hill (see 

KPR 8/2013). The première took place a year 

ago, however without both main attractions, a 

Launch Coaster and a large Darkride. There are 

many reasons for this situation, however in the 

end, it couldn't have been better – at least in the 

opinion of Vialand – that the next large project in 

the 15 million metropolis, The Mall of Istanbul 

including a large indoor theme park, is planned 

to open in May.

Nefeskesen 

In the case of the Launch Coaster, the cause of 

delay was due to the supports: to start with, the 

location of the attraction was changed at short 

notice, moved from the lower park level to the 

geographically seen almost highest position. 

Apart from the fact that it was a future-orientated 

idea and that the coaster now can be seen from 

far away bringing attention to the park, new calculations 

for the supports of the already completed 

tracks were necessary. Additionally the park 

didn't want them completed by Intamin, but by a 

large Turkish steel company – the wrong decision 

as it very soon turned out to be. Despite a number 

of improvements, the supports remained unusable 

and were finally scrapped. It was first in 

April 2013 that Intamin was contracted. 

Punctually to the start of the season on the 1 st April 

2014 everything was finally ready: "Nefeskesen", 

Turkey's first large coaster could open! And only 

a few days earlier we were able to test the master 

work of modern engineering extensively. 

After we had taken our place in the 16-seat train 

and locked the generous lap bar, we rolled out of 

the station. A six metres drop brought produced 

the first butterflies in the stomach, and transported 

us directly to the 100 metres straight acceleration 

course. The 3,200 kW LSM took hold 

swiftly and sped us in only as few seconds to 110 

kilometres per hour. Following the intensive start 

we were rammed vertically into the Turkish spring 

skies, only to go into a not less than 180° intensive 

turnaround, the so-called "Top Hat" element, 

and only 40 metres further along, to then plummet 

nearly vertically towards the ground. 45 metres 

along below, a small tunnel swallowed us before 

absolving a camelback with good and proper airtime. 

An Immelmann that we travelled to from underneath 

discharged us upside down towards the 

steep slope where a 122° inclined Stengel-Dive 

awaited us immediately. The following turnaround 

let us win quite a few metres height, only to turn 

us upside down again in the lofty heights. When 

passing the Heartline-Roll (also called Inline- 

Twist) we experienced some hang-time, before 

the magnetic brakes take a hold on the downwards 

leading straight section towards the station, 

starting the final brakes. Unfortunately – we 

actually wanted to say – as the kinetic energy lets 

in a number of spectacular elements. However 

the sequence of the ride figures is speedy and

more than unusual: no trimbrakes, no recuperating 

time or breathing space. "Nefeskesen", translated 

meaning "Breath Taker", lives up to its name! 

Pumped full with endorphins we rolled back into 

the station after 50 seconds without having the 

feeling that it should have continued – apparently 

it's not always all about length. "Nefeskesen" offers 

– and who would have thought it! – simply the 

best that a coaster can offer at the moment. An 

absolute must for all coaster fans! 

Fatih’in Ruyasi 

The second novelty is of a completely different 

nature but no less interesting, and will go into operation 

at the latest on the 29 th May 2014, the day 

of the conquest of Istanbul by the Ottomans in 

1453: the gigantic Darkride "Fatih’in Ruyasi" 

(Fatih's Dream). We had an exclusive insight into 

the impressive indoor attraction. A total ground 

area of almost 4,000 m 2 tells the story of Fatih The 

Conqueror, which can be educationally experienced: 

This ride is about a school boy named 

Fatih having a historical dream that every Turkish 

child knows. Here the Ottomans forged their 

weapons and swords, in order to conquer the 

mediaeval Byzantine Empire. As the first attempt 

was not successful, Fatih the Conqueror had his 

ships transported over the mountains to attack 

from the Marmara Sea side. This time he was successful 

and could move into Istanbul in triumph. 

In addition to the preview-room and the station 

48

area, eight scenes are travelled through, which 

are partly very impressive in their equipment and 

size, for example the sea battle scene with a 12 

metres and a 14 metres long ship. However they 

are all richly detailed, and even during repeat 

rides there are always new figures and gimmicks 

to discover. Among them are cannons, waterfalls, 

special effects and 119 life-sized Animatronics 

from Heimotion. A Tow Boat Ride from Intamin was 

chosen as transport system. 

Further Innovations 

With 460,000 park guests in the first year of operation, 

the numbers are behind expectations. In 

the medium-term, four million guests are targeted 

annually with an almost all-year-round opening, 

whereas the park was only open for five months 

in the past year. 

Park Operations Manager Cem Tuna: "We are 

very confident that we can increase the visitor 

numbers significantly already this year. We have 

already sold 62,000 tickets by advance bookings." 

No wonder then that due to both large attractions 

Vialand will without a doubt be properly 

recognised by the population for the first time, 

and not only optically. 

And more investment has also been made in entertainment: 

the character of a family park is 

strengthened by street shows, live acts and 

gimmicks, expanding the fun factor. New and 

elaborate ways and designs provide for a first

And last but not least there will be more 

characters added in addition to the park mascot 

"Pilot Gaga", for which the licence has been purchased 

from Spongebob Squarepants and Dora 

the Explorer. Cem Tuna, who was earlier Park Operations 

Manager at Australia's Dreamworld not 

only thinks about the increase of visitor numbers: 

"We will also be installing more transportable lotteries 

or draws in order to increase the park 

turnover. At Dreamworld, around one-third of the 

total turnover was generated by all types of competitions!" 

A small downer though: The "Kong 

Kong" from Huss Rides has to take a break for a 

season. Cem Tuna: "Although the ride is fully intact, 

we have the problem of ground subsidence 

in the earlier quarry area, and must lay a new 

foundation where our King Kong will then be 

placed." 

Interview with Tolga Alisoglu 

Mr Alisoglu, as General Manager you are 

not only responsible for the theme park, but for 

the whole of Vialand. Would the shopping mall 

be possible without the theme park? 

Absolutely not! The theme park is the strawberry 

on the cake. This way we lift ourselves above 

other large shopping malls in Istanbul, and with 

that have a unique selling point. We had a total of 

8.5 million visitors, and even if only a few of them 

visited the park, their reason to visit is clearly stated 

as an addition to the premium mall. The total 

turnover in the last fiscal year was 30 million Euro. 

In only a few weeks the Mall of Istanbul will 

open with similar contents. How do you estimate 

the competitive situation? Are you 

worried? 

Not really. At most we anticipate a very shortterm 

impact due to the novelty effect. This year 

we estimate a total visitor number of 30 million, of 

which 1.2 million will also visit the theme park. Vialand 

with its outdoor activities is not comparable 

to an indoor theme park and an indoor shopping 

mall. Whilst the Mall Of Istanbul is only limitedly 

extendable and must be convincing alone 

50

through its design, we can on the other hand still 

expand in the future. 

In two years another outdoor park will be 

opening, with its General Manager Mehmet 

Emec being Vialand's earlier General Manager. 

Do you see a serious competitor in the project 

called Tema Istanbul? 

For a start it's a completely different concept 

as the theme park there is occupied with the 

marketing of residential properties, and not retail 

like us. But in both cases the theme park is the 

strawberry on the cake. Therefore we are of the 

opinion that the competition animates rather than 

hinders. Each park calls attention to the other, and 

each tourist in all probability will visit the other as 

well. A big plus point for us is that we are close to 

downtown, while the Tema Istanbul property is 

located far outside, near the Ataturk airport. Additionally 

we are well equipped: in 2016, which is 

the planned opening year for Tema Istanbul, we 

will be realizing a large coaster. 

At the moment, probably not. The area mentioned 

is unfortunately not useable without soil 

and foundation engineering as we have the problem 

of landslip in the earlier surface mining area. 

There are rumours that a Vialand Park will 

be erected in Pakistan. Is this true? 

Yes, we have had a meeting with Pakistan's 

Premier Minister Nawaz Sharif, who would be 

glad to erect a theme park. Due to our experience 

we would support him in construction and operation. 

Nevertheless the project will naturally be 

very different with other attractions and fitting to 

the local market and local conditions. By the way, 

most probably there will be a further Vialand in 

Turkey at a different location.

look: a coaster will be located in the exterior area 

General Manager Tolga 

Alisoglu (left) and Cem Tuna 

Are there other novelties planned? 

Yes, already in June we will be opening our 

Vialand-Hotel, and we also have the option to reerect 

a cable railway from the lower area of the 

park, to the entrance area. 

And what is the situation with a water 

park? For example in the lower area that once 

was planned as an active park section, but is 

completely unused until now?

COASTER 

The intensive pretzel 

element has been built into 

a track layout on a Wing 

Coaster for the first time 

Only three years after the opening 

of Germany's first Dive 

Coaster "Krake" from B&M, 

another B&M coaster has moved 

into Heide-Park: Germany's first 

Wing Coaster. 


Frank Lanfer 

Flug der Dämonen 

The entrance and the 

station building 

The newly realized demon-theming has been 

limited to two Transylvanian figures in the outside 

area, and the design of the five metres wide 

trains. Apart from that, the beautiful building 

ensemble has been put to use, which the earlier 

owner of Heide-Park had once erected for his 

second water attraction. 

At that time, during the four-year building phase, 

there was not only an almost 30 metres high hill 

raised for the attraction that would found the later 

Swiss theme area, but also a massive station and 

adjoining buildings built for the 23 metres high and 

575 metres long "Wildwasserbahn II" built by 

Schwarzkopf and API (Amusement Park Industrie), 

which Hans-Jürgen Tiemann had purchased as a 

used construction from the closed Eulenspiegel- 

Park near Hannover and re-opened in 1990 in his 

Heide-Park. 

52

Existing Theming 

And it appears that his farm, castle ruins, defence 

walls and mines were ideal for the stereotypical picture 

of Dracula and his consortium. Since 2012 this 

area – together with the Gyro Drop Tower "Scream" 

and the "Schweizer Bobbahn" – have been transformed 

into the new theme land "Transilvania", and 

in the process the over 20 years old and unusually 

high quality buildings for a theme park have served 

their purpose well. The highlight: a complete and 

qualitative theming was already available for the 

new coaster without added costs! The British 

owner, the Merlin Entertainments Group, simply 

couldn't let the opportunity slip by and gave the 

green light for the new project only three years after 

the opening of the Dive Coaster "Krake". 

This deal was contrived by Heide-Park's earlier 

park manager Hannes Mairinger, who had 

dedicatedly led the North German park for 12 

years, but had to leave the company in 2013: "A 

company such as Merlin doesn't give away anything, 

and naturally wants to maximize its profit. But 

there is an annual total budget available to parks 

belonging to this group. We were convincing with 

our concept and qualified for a new coaster." But 

why was one of the water attractions sacrificed for 

the new attraction? Mairinger: "This water ride was

very popular in the park, but could only continue to 

operate at huge expense. We therefore removed it 

for this reason and retained the older one from Mack 

Rides. Additionally the location was ideal for the 

new coaster." And why should it be a Wing Coaster? 

"It has great advantages to be a part of a park 

group. Immediately after the opening of 'Raptor' at 

Gardaland in 2011 it was obvious to me that we 

have to have such a coaster at Heide-Park as well!" 

revealed Mairinger enthusiastically. 

Early Completion 

And so it came about in spring 2014 that the new 

coaster at Heide-Park, the first Wing Coaster in 

Germany could go into operation – and punctually 

at that, thanks to the almost overall unusually mild 

winter in Europe this year. So there's no reason for 

any late openings in 2014 due to a heavy winter in 

one or the other park, which is the usual excuse in 

the branch. And in the case of Heide-Park, the early 

completion was used for a demonic-offer to all fans, 

who could book a hotel stay including a tour of the 

technology and take exclusive ride time on the new 

coaster two weeks before the park opening, and 

before the official park and coaster opening took 

place on the 29 th March with the obligatory superstars. 

In the case of "Flug der Dämonen" one can search 

for the characteristic "near misses" in vain. And 

whether or not the missing near collision elements 

can be rated as negative is purely a matter of taste. 

Most probably they would have given the complete 

experience an additional kick, but even without, it 

can already be revealed that the track course alone 

is very convincing. 

54

Unfortunately only guests from 10 years of age and 

a height of between 140 and 195 centimetres are 

allowed on the ride. The attraction initially leads 

through a long and dark tunnel and ends in three 

successively activated zigzag-waiting areas, which 

are located under the track course, and sweeten 

the waiting time a little with a view to the pending 

flight adventure. It's only then that the path leads to 

the newly erected station building. 

Before entering the station we must decide on 

which side of the coaster we want to take our place, 

as there's a huge difference if wanting to experience 

the first drop: on the left side we summersault 

180° under the track directly after climbing the lift 

to drop towards the ground, and on the right side 

we are ripped away over the track in a speedy turn, 

to immediately also turn head over at almost 100 

kilometres per hour, dropping towards the ground. 

Both sides have something in common: the socalled 

"Dive Drop" – comprising of a half Inline Twist 

and a half Looping – offering an intensive and 

breathtaking experience in all seats! The following 

Camelback presents us with intensive airtime 

before we cross over the merchandising shop 

where there are almost 50 different articles for sale. 

However there's naturally no time to go shopping 

because we are immediately pulled upwards in a 

huge Immelmann and stand on our heads for the 

second time. Instantly we enter the Revolution-turn, 

before we increase speed after a high three-quarter 

curve and travel into a pretzel type of element, 

which is keeping two intensive inversions ready for 

us. As successful finale we travel through a 90° 

inclined track section that leads into a 180° curve, 

before we enter the station again with the final 

brakes.

Extremly Wide Trains 

The outside seats offer a more intensive ride experience 

than the suspended inside seats due to 

the Wing Coaster's longer lever arms and the resulting 

big dynamics spectrum. For the same reason 

however there are small uneven areas in the 

track under the outside seats in order to feel multiple 

power – after all the Heartline for all outside 

seats is circa two metres away from the ideal line. 

But even the usual quality from B&M, which is also 

plentiful here, can't do too much aligning. On the 

whole, the ride is relatively comfortable despite the 

immense size of the trains, and apart from the 

pothole shortly before the finale. 

World Première with Pretzel Element 

The new "Flug der Dämonen" was the "park baby" of 

the exited park manager, who in the meantime is self 

employed and counsels theme park and tourist 

branch companies (Mairinger Consulting GmbH). 

We wanted to know if he has already ridden his Wing 

Coaster. "No" laughed Hannes Mairinger, "since my 

departure in January 2013, I have never again entered 

Heide-Park. I would have loved to have tested 

the coaster, but at the moment that's not possible. 

There are simply too many emotions involved." 

We couldn't give any comforting words though, because 

a flight with Germany's coaster demons is 

simply too spectacular. In addition, Heide-Park's 

new addition has the best and most exciting track 

layout on a B&M Wing Coaster throughout Europe – 

also thanks to the very first realized pretzel element 

worldwide on this coaster type.

Grandiose views of 

"Chiapas" in the Mexican 

theme area of 

Phantasialand 

Phantasialand has managed to 

build a so-called "state of the 

art" ride in all respects with its 

new water attraction "Chiapas"! 

Even the rather critical theme 

park scene on occasions is in 

raptures about this new world 

novelty that opened one year 

later than planned! 

Text & Photos: Wolfgang Payer 

It's just logical that water 

plays the main part in a water 

attraction – actively as well as 

creatively 

Chiapas 

Phantasialand had invited over 200 theme park 

fans to a pre-opening-event on the 30 th March, 

two days before season begin, in order to test the 

new attraction. Who other than the fans who had 

already ridden similar attractions all over the world 

could put the attraction through its paces, thought 

Phantasialand. Much to the disappointment of the 

park there are also fans who still have a whinge at 

a high level, but for once all were in agreement: 

Phantasialand had built the most modern and impressive 

construction in the Log Flume category. 

Construction time was delayed by around 30 

months, in order to implement Phantasialand's 

most expensive project in its history. 

The cooperation with Intamin was very good, emphasised 

the park. Phantasialand had searched 

for a partner that was flexible and able to address 

major challenges. The development was worked 

on together, and almost all structural elements are 

prototypes. The biggest technical innovation is the 

switch-point system with which the boats are 

moved from one canal to the other. To this end 

Intamin had built a water basin in which the 

parallel points were tested for six months. Coaster 

technology was also used, for example the 

restraint system, the magnetic brakes and the 

double chain lift. 

58

The new attraction has been integrated into the 

Mexican theme area, and is, as in the meantime 

usual for Phantasialand, very detailed and beautifully 

set in the scene. The entrance area to the station 

is very varied in its decoration, and is divided 

into different sections. The station has been hidden 

in the attraction's rock massif. The track course 

travels over six levels including the station, and 

begins with a right curve to the first almost 15 metres 

high lift. This is followed by a short straight 

stretch that leads to the first relatively open cave. 

Here the boats travel through a large right curve 

to an almost ten metres drop that once again leads 

into the open. The journey continues in the canal 

past a waterfall and into a second cave where both 

points are situated, which turn the boats to the next 

section. A richly curved passage is travelled 

through backwards, passing also smaller caves. 

The next stage leads into an indoor area where a 

merry party atmosphere is achieved by way of 

varied lighting technology and a large animatronics 

figure. After leaving the indoor area, a 

ten metres deep reverse drop follows. Finally the 

boats stop in a cave and are moved sideward by 

way of a parallel switch. The second lift hill is 

climbed in a forward position and is followed by 

curves along a Maya pyramid. For the third and 

last time the ride travels upwards – here also unusually 

fast for a water ride. A left curve follows 

leading into the lofty heights where passengers 

have a great view of the Mexican theme area.

TOP ACT 

The final drop 

seen from two completely 

different locations 

Lower Photo Row: Onride 

The final drop is, according to the passengers, a 

little oppressive, but before they can think about 

it, it's downwards on the 53° world's steepest drop 

on a "traditional" water attraction. However the 15 

metres high element is even more dramatic, as it 

has been incorporated into the artificial rock 

massif as a narrow gorge. At the deepest point of 

the drop, the boats travel under a bridge and shoot 

further along over a relatively large camelback 

and with a little airtime, into the final splash zone. 

The wet factor is not too high and family friendly. 

A large right curve leads back to the station area. 

The ride is also surprising even apart from all other 

effects with its extreme smoothness over the 

camelback. Ride duration is circa six minutes and 

is supported by an especially composed soundtrack. 

The topography of the construction with its 

winding channel makes unusual visual angles 

possible during the ride. There has been a small 

circular route made for viewers that gives great 

insights into the attraction. The two old water 

attractions that were demolished in November 

2011 would have had a capacity of 1,800 passengers 

per hour together. With "Chiapas", the 

hourly capacity could be increased to 1,800 alone. 

This capacity is attained with 29 boats, each with 

six individual seats, one behind the other. 

"Chiapas" can be ridden by passengers with a 

height from 1.2 metres. 

The complete Mexican area is now consistent. 

Already when entering this area, visitors feel integrated 

into the scene, and the atmosphere of the 

Mexican water attraction. The so-called eye 

catcher of "Chiapas" is the many roaring waterfalls, 

which thunder down from a considerable 

height. The splash zone can be viewed quite well 

by visitors from three different sides, amongst 

them a restaurant. The almost labyrinth type of 

cave system with the winding water canal has 

been excellently implemented by Phantasialand. 

One can pose the question as to where the park 

has hidden the complete ride system, when 

remembering the old water constructions on the 

cramped area. However Phantasialand has been 

60

successful in building a long course and creating 

a generous new open area, resulting in the 

"Mexico" section looking a lot larger as before, 

optically. 

The name "Chiapas" derives from a state of the 

same name in south-east Mexico, which fascinates 

with its diversity and many waterfalls in the 

middle of a branched cave system. Maya ruins are 

located in Chiapas, and the locals celebrate old 

festivals such as the "Los Dias de las Muertos", 

glorifying the "Day of the Dead". These festivals are 

very high spirited and accompanied by much 

music. The symbol of the skull is traditional, and 

can be seen everywhere, just as on the water 

attraction. 

The wish, or alternatively the specifications of 

Phantasialand for the new water attraction was 

that there would be much variety combined with a 

huge fun-factor. Variety has been beautifully created 

with the many levels, smoothness and caves. 

And the fun-factor, which is generally associated 

with the theme water, has been increased by the 

Darkride sections, when a party of guests is presented, 

according to the example of the Festival 

of the Dead. 

In an interview with Robert Löffelhardt, the 

Manager of Phantasialand explained that it was 

due to the permanent lack of space that many 

innovations came about. Because of this situation, 

exciting attractions have been repeatedly created. 

And he knows that the Phantasialand fans 

expect Disney quality in the meantime, but the 

challenges are gladly accepted. He emphasised 

however that Phantasialand does have difficulty in 

delivering this Disney quality as it naturally doesn't 

have a budget as large as Disney. Added to that, 

the park also has to realize its projects in a shorter 

building time. Selling experience and emotion is 

the target of Phantasialand, said Robert Löffelhardt. 

And indeed this has all been achieved with 

"Chiapas". Phantasialand has once again proved 

that it's not all about the size of the budget, but the 

finding of ideas that is important.

RAAPA 2014 

The 16 th International RAAPA 

EXPO-2014 was held from the 

12 th to 14 th March at the All-Russian 

Exhibition Centre (VVTs) in 

Moscow, which thanks to warm 

and sunny weather in Moscow, 

made all industry professions 

very enthusiastic about the upcoming 

park season.

RAAPA 

The largest event of the amusement industry in 

Russia was organized by the Russian Association 

of Amusement Parks and Attractions (RAAPA), 

and supported by the international umbrella association 

IAAPA, and the TSI Company (UK). General 

Sponsor was the “PAX” Group of companies, and 

for the first time there was a true exhibition edition 

of the Kirmes & Park Revue, which was printed 

directly in Moscow. The event was inaugurated by 

RAAPA President, Mr. Vladimir A. Gnezdilov and his 

guest Larry Chickola, Vice-president of the Six 

Flags Group. 220 exhibiting companies participated 

in the exhibition. Among them were 75 foreign 

exhibitor companies from 26 countries. 

RAAPA Expo 2014 demonstrated the current trends 

on the global entertainment market again. In addition 

however, arcade complexes were widely presented 

at the exhibition, even by those companies 

that previously had not specialized in this type of 

equipment. Whilst the Bolid Company presented 

several options of arcade games for family entertainment 

centres, Zapevin's Manufactory introduced 

unusual prize machines designed in an 

interesting Indian style. 

The Eastern European Company built up a whole 

cave in the exhibition hall presenting themed decoration 

entrances to theme parks and attractions. 

Visitors showed a lot of interest in “fog” technology 

62

used to project pictures and different subjects in the 

air. Great interest was also caused by the themed 

entertainment complex “Dark Ride”, which combined 

unique decorations, interactive technology, 

and virtual effects. 

One of the largest exhibitor stands was from Polin 

Waterparks & Pool Systems (Turkey) showing a 

creative approach in its decoration and content, 

with the presentation of innovations in technology 

solutions, and water park slides. 

This year the number of 5D equipment and virtual 

cinemas was slightly reduced. Experts explained 

this as a temporary decline of interest from visitors 

and operators for this type of entertainment. But the 

situation still allowed the introduction of major players 

in this field. 

Traditionally there were many presentations of kiddie 

and family rides. The largest number was from 

Italpark and PlaySpace. The largest Ferris Wheels 

were promoted by the PAX Group of companies. 

The Stroitelnye Attraktsiony Company demonstrated 

how to turn an excavator or other construction 

machines into an extreme ride. 

Major manufacturers of fast foods for parks and 

family entertainment centres, such as Dippin' Dots, 

Business Russia, Technika +, and Food Service 

also participated. 

The number of presentations in active leisure 

equipment had significantly increased and ranged 

from kiddie playgrounds to rope courses. A large 

number of interactive 

attractions were 

introduced such as 

an interactive sandbox, 

turning a sand 

castle construction 

into a thrill attraction. 

Our special exhibition 

edition for RAAPA Expo 2014 

63

RAAPA Expo has always not only been an effective 

commercial platform, but is also the answer to many 

social themes, among them the importance of increasing 

safety of entertainment equipment, and to 

develop leisure activity in parks. In this segment 

were exhibitors such as the Moscow Palace of Pioneers 

on Vorobyovy Gory, and the Moscow State 

University of Culture and Arts. 

This year's event also offered programmes attended 

by nearly 300 professionals, among them the international 

conference “City Amusement Park of the 

21st century as a main place for recreation and entertainment” 

and others with themes such as kiddie 

centres, the US experience in operation of entertainment 

complexes, and personal efficiency of 

management in entertainment business. There 

were also discussions devoted to virtual attractions, 

and the safety of water park operation. 

A newly introduced event was the “Business Breakfast” 

devoted to the topic “Ideal entertainment business 

from the professionals’ point of view”. 

Additionally a behind the scenes visit was made to 

the "Cosmic" leisure centre. The developers of the 

centre – the “Brunswick/KidsPlay” company conducted 

an interesting lecture on “Food and beverage 

in a family entertainment centre: investors’ 

headache or joy?” 

As usual gold medals were awarded to a number 

of exhibitors (from the organiser RAAPA Expo), as 

well as the Golden Pony Awards (a joint event 

hosted by RAAPA and Facto Edizioni (Italy), each 

year.) 

Over 5,000 professionals attended the three-day 

exhibition. The RAAPA Expo – 2014 was once again 

a success with both Russian and foreign experts 

unanimously agreeing that the RAAPA Expo these 

64

days is the most dynamically 

developing amusement industry 

exhibition in the 

world. 

The next RAAPA events are 

already planned and will 

take place as follows: 

■ October 15-17, 2014, 

Moscow, All-Russian Exhibition 

Centre: 8 th Moscow International 

Autumn Expo

PROJECTS 

Biblical theme parks 

as well as Noah's Ark parks 

are often in planning 

As every year we once again are 

introducing the latest park projects 

in our spring issue. New 

this time however is the split up 

in two parts: in the past April 

edition we reported about the 

variety of projects in Turkey. 

Here we are reporting about 

other exciting park projects 

around the world, with the exception 

of those we have already 

reported about last year.

The park design of Grand 

Texas reminds one very much of 

the parks from Six Flags Group 

New Park Projects 

Arc Encounter 

Biblical park projects have been and are many. No 

wonder then that there are many themes that are 

known almost all over the world. However until now, 

there has only been one realized: the Holy Land Experience 

in Orlando, opened in 2001. 

Although there are no ride constructions there, the 

Christian association, Answers in Genesis, now 

wants to erect a theme park, which not only retells 

the Old Testament, but also that guests experience 

it as a ride experience. On an area of over 300 

hectares including an antiquated village, there will 

be as highlight a reproduction of Noah's Ark "in 

original size", the themed Tower of Babylon, the 10 

Egyptian plagues, and even the parting of the Red 

Sea. The location of the 120 million Dollar project 

has been chosen to be Williamstown, around 80 

kilometres south of Cincinnati. The park is to be 

financed by donations alone; for example the 

"individual mortal" would receive a "lifetime-boarding-pass" 

for 2,000 Dollars. Construction will apparently 

begin already this year, and the opening is 

planned in two years time. 

Grand Texas 

In the small Texan town of New Caney in Montgomery 

County, a new experience world is to come 

into being on an area of 260 hectares. It is to contain 

a horse centre, a baseball stadium, a shopping 

centre, a 16 hectares sized Big River Water Park, 

and a 28 hectares sized theme park. The last mentioned 

will contain seven themed areas, all of which 

will be dedicated to the history and culture of the 

State of Texas 

66

The opening of Grand Texas Theme Park & Big 

Rivers Water Park is planned already for 2015. The 

management and operation of the park will be 

taken over by Innovative Leisure Partners. 

EarthQuest Park 

The Los Angeles located company Contour had 

also targeted a property in New Canay in order to 

erect a new theme park. However due to the many 

restrictions and perhaps also because of the announcement 

that another park project, namely the 

Grand Texas Theme Park, is to be realized there, 

the company decided to remain in Montgomery 

County, and purchased a 200 hectares property 

north of Houston. Chris Brown from Contour, the initiator 

of the project:"We want to erect a theme park 

a la Disney, because this type of park is completely 

missing in Texas." The overall theming will revolve 

around dinosaurs, volcanoes, glaciers, and 

environmental friendliness. As a result there will not 

only be ride attractions, but also educational content 

and a zoo. 

Awaza Theme & Aquapark 

Turkmenistan has a powerful dictator, 

a highly complicated bureaucracy, 

ludicrous uniforms, 

and golden statues. However the 

totalitarian state has never had a 

theme park until now. And that is 

to change very soon, as the newly 

founded health resort Awaza 

on the Caspian Sea will receive 

an experience world as the centre 

piece of the resort. In addition 

to two hotels, a golf course, an indoor 

aqua-park, and the National 

Congress Centre, there is also 

a 3.5 hectares theme park including Ferris Wheel, 

coaster, and other attractions in planning. Themed 

subjects are to be international landmarks such as 

the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and 

world famous castles. With these plans the leaders 

in the capital promises national and international 

tourists. 

Both park areas are 

separated by a street: Awaza 

Theme Park & Aqua Park 

The Earthquest Park in 

Texas is to be an imposing and 

strongly themed water and 

edutainment park 

67

The popular comic figure 

Spirou in the whole of Europe 

will have its own theme park 

Siam Park Gran Canarias 

There have been rumours flying about for quite 

some time, but now they are confirmed: the Siam 

Park on Tenerife, which won the European Star 

Award as Best Water Park in Europe, is to have a 

sister-park on one of the neighbouring Canary 

Islands, Gran Canarias. 

Who or which manufacturer of the water slides will 

be, has not yet been decided. Company Vice President 

Christoph Kiessling explained: "The decision 

has not been made for the respective service suppliers. 

What is definite however is that we have already 

purchased the appropriate grounds on 

southern Gran Canarias with an area of 174,000 

m_." In the interim a Siam Park project in China was 

also in planning, but due to the language barrier the 

matter was dropped again, especially after a solution 

came about on Gran Canarias. It took almost 

two years of negotiation with the private owner, but 

it was well worth it according to father, Wolfgang 

Kiessling: "The grounds are located in a valley, 

which is natural protection against wind. This is a 

great advantage for an outdoor water park, as our 

visitors will not freeze on the very few not so nice 

days." 

Around 60 million Euro will be invested in the new 

150.000 m 2 sized water park by the Kiessling family, 

which is to open in 2016 – so long as the 

authorities play their part. 

Parc Spirou 

The comic world from Spirou and Fantasio will have 

its own theme park, which is to open already next 

year near the French city of Avignon – at least if it 

all goes according to the plans of comic producer 

Éditions Dupuis. 14 attractions are planned initially, 

and in addition to medial attractions there are 

also to be two coasters, one of steel and one of 

wood. 500,000 visitors are expected in the first year 

of operation. 

The Kiessling family will be erecting a second Siam Water 

Park on these grounds on Gran Canarias 

Hennie Van der Most will be erecting a small indoor and 

outdoor theme park directly on the edge of Rotterdam's harbour 

68

Speelstadt Rotterdam 

Twentieth Century Fox World 

The Netherlander Hennie Van der Most, operator of 

Wunderland Kalkar, wants to erect a small theme 

park in the Rotterdam harbour area. The opening is 

already planned for 2015, and the narrow elongated 

ground area will hold, in addition to a playground, 

mostly used attractions, among them a 

"Shuttle Loop" from Schwarzkopf (earlier at Toshimaen, 

Japan). 

Croatia 

The first modern theme park in Croatia is apparently 

to open in the Croatian city of Belgrade in 2015. 

Details are not yet known, however there will be at 

the very least one coaster among the ride 

constructions. 

Vialand Pakistan 

A modern theme park is to be erected in the Pakistani 

city of Lahore, in order to encourage the 

tourist branch and the increase in economic and 

trading activities, explained Pakistan's Prime Minister 

Nawaz Sharif. 

He announced the plans during a meeting with a 

delegation of various Turkish firms, among them 

also the Manager of Vialand Tolga Alisoglu, the 

Construction Director of the Gursoy Group Mustafa 

Karaty, and the Manager of Turkish Airlines, Alp 

Yavuzeser. 

Shahbaz welcomed the cooperation of Vialand for 

the theme park project. He stated that the government 

of Punjab wishes to profit from the experience 

and knowledge that the Turkish firm has in the erection 

of theme parks. For this reason a feasibility plan 

is being prepared in cooperation with Vialand. 

It was first during the laying of the 

foundation stone that the name of a 

new theme park project was announced, 

which will come into being 

on Genting Island in Malaysia: 

Twentieth Century Fox World. 

This will be a mutual project of the 

entertainment giant Twentieth Century 

Fox Consumer Products and 

building contractor Genting 

Malaysia, and is planned to be 

opened in 2016. 

More than 215 million Euro is to be 

invested in the just 10 hectares 

sized park, in order to offer visitors 

an impressive experience presenting 

figures and stories from Fox 

such as Ice Age, Rio, Predator, and 

Night at the Museum. 

A mixture of media-based thrill 

rides, Darkrides, kiddie ride constructions 

and water attractions are 

being planned, as well as of course themed shops 

and outlets. 

"As it will be the first theme park of this type, the 

Twentieth Century Fox World will be built in great 

style, made up of unique and creative concepts 

with more than 25 ride constructions and film 

attractions", explained the Chairman and General 

Director of Genting Malaysia Company, Tan Sri Lim 

Kok Thay. 

Vice President of Twentieth Century Fox Consumer 

Products, Greg Lombardo, declared that the erection 

in Asia is an important step in the global theme 

park strategy of Fox, in order to bind the public to 

new and exciting ways. 

The first Film Park worldwide 

from Twentieth Century Fox

MAPS 

The Australian Sanderson Group had searched for 

a new investment possibility and found it with 

MAPS. The Movie Animation Park Studios is to be 

realized for a calculated amount of 100 million Euro 

in the Malaysian city of Meru. A film park will apparently 

come into being on almost 21 hectares, 

and according to an announcement by Steve A. 

Sanderson it will be at the very least as good as Universal 

Studios Singapore, or even better. Different 

to the last mentioned and the planned Twentieth 

Century Fox World, at least 60% of the total area will 

be covered over and air-conditioned according to 

Sanderson. The opening is planned for the end of 

2015 with an anticipated 1.4 million visitors in the 

first fiscal year.

By 2030, a huge 200 billion Euro theme park and 

gambling oasis by the name of 8City is to be realized 

in the South Korean port city of Incheon. In the 

event that the project gets the green light, the 

coastal resort on Yongyu-Muui Island located near 

the international airport Incheon, will contain casinos, 

hotels, promenades, theme parks, race tracks 

ski-slopes and a yacht harbour. The main attractions 

are to be installed in a phallus-formed 

elongated glass dome. 

Universal Studios Beijing 

Following the 2016 opening of the fifth Universal 

Studios Resort in South Korea, there are plans for 

further expansion in Asia with the opening of the 

sixth resort in the Chinese capital of Beijing. 

Initiator and investor is USJ Co, which already operates 

Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. 1.45 

billion Euro is planned to be invested after years of 

negotiations. Construction will already begin this 

year in the Beijing district of Tongzhou. 

In the meanwhile USJ Co has confirmed that it is already 

looking for a further location in Asia, in order 

to open the seventh Universal Resort in 2020. There 

has however been no comment about the matter 

from Universal Studios Theme Parks, a subsidiary 

of NBC Universal.

PROJECTS 

Wuxi Wanda City. 

Western Sydney Theme Park 

With an investment volume of a calculated 4.7 

billion Euro, the Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin 

(Wanda Group) intends to build a mega-theme 

park, which apparently will outshine its direct competitor 

in the neighbourhood, Disneyland Shanghai, 

opening in 2015. 

The specialists from Forrec have been engaged as 

park designer. On an area of 120 hectares there is 

to be a Movie Park, an indoor kiddie-park, and an 

outdoor theme park erected. Construction officially 

started already at the end of February, and the first 

building phase should open in 2016. It has been 

calculated that after the complete realization 20 

million visitors will attend the park annually. 

The newly founded proprietary company of the 

same name is currently searching for an ideal location 

in order to resurrect Australia’s Wonderland. 

The 1985 theme park erected by Taft Broadcasting 

and last operated by the Sunway Group closed its 

gates in 2004, after having to deal with setbacks 

due to the attacks on the 11th September 2001 and 

in Bali in 2002, and the SARS and bird flu epidemics, 

from which it could not recover. However 

Ammar Khan now intends to realize a park of the 

same name with a Multiplex-cinema, hotels, restaurants, 

shopping mall and convention centre, and 

is now searching for grounds and investors. A decision 

is expected this year.

A WATERPARK FOR OCEAN PARK 

Text: 

Stefan Rothaug 

With the opening of the "Polar Adventure" the 

master-redevelopment-plan for the "new" 

Ocean Park in Hong Kong in 2012 has been successfully 

completed, and quasi as reward the 

prestigious Applause Award was received. And 

once again in 2013 a visitor record was attained 

with 7.7 million guests. 

However this year there are also two new attractions 

– the animal presentation "Adventures in Australia" 

as well as a large shark aquarium. Next year 

the long awaited underground 

connection will go 

into operation, with which the 

park hopes for a repeat increase in visitors, especially 

by individual visitors. 2016 should see the 

opening of the long planned hotel with 495 rooms, 

and in the summer of 2017 the "Thai Shue Wan" 

water park will come into being on an as yet empty 

park area. Additionally the kiddie area "Whiskers 

Harbour" is to be renovated. And believe it or not 

there apparently will be 30 new attractions in 2017, 

25 of which will be in the water park in both the indoor 

and outdoor areas. 13 water slides and the 

longest Lazy River in the world have also been 

grandly announced. Flamingos and turtles will also 

populate the water park area. In 1990 Ocean Park 

had closed its own water park. The now planned 

reopening cleverly coincides with the 40 th anniversary 

of the park, a shot at competitor Disney which 

can't motivate itself to bring older visitors back as 

repeaters to relive childhood memories on wild 

water slides. The investment announcement also 

came practically simultaneously with the opening 

of the new Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Hengqin 

(Mainland China), located not far from Hong Kong 

at the end of January, and which serves a very similar 

target group.

KOLMARDEN ZOO 

Shortly after the new season 

began, and before most of the 

novelties in the Scandinavian 

theme parks opened, the tranquil 

Kolmården Zoo stole the 

show from all of them! A 

gigantic project has just been 

announced by the Scandinavian 

company Parks and Resorts, 

which also owns Gröna 

Lund: the installation of the 

"Wildfire". 

Text:

Photos: Parks and Resorts 

On a somewhat difficult terrain with cliffs and 

chasms there are plans for a 1,300 m long and 

57 m high coaster that will reach speeds of up to 

113 km/h, a depth of 49 m, an 83° steep drop, three 

inversions, and many other interesting ride elements. 

Manufacturer is the Rocky Mountain Construction 

(RMC). The company's European agent is 

Vekoma from the Netherlands, which simultaneously 

is producing all mechanical elements as well 

as the control system and electronics. Peter 

Osbeck, Ride Manager of the park group, Parks 

and Resorts: "We have taken some of the best elements 

of the world’s best roller coasters, added 

new ideas and created a unique ride.”In the official 

video, the "Wildfire" will be currently extolled in the 

world as the largest wooden coaster in the world, 

but this pertains to the height. In actual fact "Wildfire" 

belongs more in the Hybrid Coaster category 

due to its massive steel "Topper Tracks". Nevertheless 

this fact doesn't reduce the ride fun, in fact 

does just the opposite. "Wildfire" will without a doubt 

create a furore alone due to its unusual terrain and 

the exceptional ride figures – and not only in Scandinavia. 

The first turning of the spade has already 

been done, however completion is only targeted for 

the year 2016. 

Already last year Sweden's Kolmården Zoo celebrated 

its 50 th birthday, and will be presenting the 

20,000 m 2 kiddie area "Bamses Värld" in celebration 

of the occasion. The very popular comic figure 

in Sweden is already represented in the zoo, but will 

now have its own theme world with 4 rides, a water 

playground, a small outdoor theatre, a restaurant 

and shops. Jora Vision from the Netherlands is responsible 

for the theming, and the show will also be 

staged by its subsidiary Jora Entertainment. ■ 

"Wildfire" will be playing 

in the top league of European 

coasters from 2016 

"Bamses Värid" will be 

already available in 2015

DISNEY’S ANIMAL KINGDOM 

MAGAZINE

Already at the end of 2011 Disney secured its 

worldwide rights for the use of the Avatar-films 

and characters in the theme park segment by an 

agreement with Fox Filmed Entertainment and 

James Cameron's company, Lightstorm Entertainment. 

And now it has come to the realization of the first 

Avatar-theme area at Disney's Animal Kingdom 

(part of Walt Disney World in Orlando). 

"Pandora's Mystical Universe" is to become real for 

an investment amount of 500 million dollars. From 

2017, all park visitors will be able to submerge 

themselves in a world living in harmony with nature. 

It will be interesting to see how the soaring Banshees, 

bioluminescent rainforests and floating 

mountains can be implemented for rides. 

There will be two ride attractions that are already 

confirmed: the first will be a boat ride through an 

illuminated plant world, and in the other, visitors will 

be able to fly through nature (probably a floating 

cinema as for example Disney’s "Soarin’ Over 

California"). The design team will be guided by the 

Avatar producer Jon Landau and Disney- 

Imagineer Joe Rohde (who for example is well 

known for his ability in setting the large coaster 

"Expedition Everest" skilfully into the scene). ■

HOLIDAY PARK 

In the shadows of the large media 

hype about the opening of 

"Sky Screamer" from Premier 

Rides, the good old water attraction 

"Teufelsfässer" from 

Mack Rides went almost unnoticed 

with its new appearance 

after being completely 

overworked, also opened punctually 

to the start of the season. 

Text & Photos: Olaf Esser 

The Holiday Park has already shown in the past 

years that it can set even older areas and 

attractions newly into the scene, which is also the 

case of the "Teufelsfässer". 

And who else should be godfather other than 

Wickie the clever Viking boy and his friends. The 

devilish decoration of the "Teufelsfässer" was removed, 

and Wickie, Halvar, Ylvie, Snorre and Ulme 

moved in. All the buildings now have a very colourful 

design, resulting in a friendly Viking village coming 

into being. The new name for the flume ride is 

“Wickie Splash” now. 

The entrance area has been moved nearer to the 

actual station. For this purpose a new bridge has 

been erected that crosses over the waterway. Only 

a small part of the old waiting area is used, but on 

peak days there is still the possibility to use a part 

of the earlier waiting area. 

The new design has been perfectly implemented 

on the outside, and visitors are integrated into a 

colourful Viking world. Unfortunately there is nothing 

new in the inside of the attraction, and even the 

loading area remains unchanged. In addition to the 

lovely scenic landscape course in the open, there 

are only dark track sections on the inside. But this 

doesn't really bother the actual ride experience, as 

even after many years, the 1992 water attraction is 

still perfect in performance and is equipped with 

everything that a lively water attraction needs. With 

a length of more than one kilometre, three drops, a 

reverse ride, and a final drop from a 20 metres 

height, the changes with action and beautiful views 

are perfect. 

We will be reporting about the 50 m high coaster 

from Premier Rides that opened on the 12 th of April 

in our next edition.

IMG WORLDS OF ADVENTURE

After a long lean period the project from Ilyas 

and Mustafa Galadari is now financially secure 

and will be brought quickly to an end. 

The indoor and outdoor park already under construction 

will receive a cash injection of 325 million 

$ from the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, with which the 

first park of the earlier Dubailand will finally be 

realized. Following a number of announcements, 

it apparently will be the largest indoor 

park in the world with 140,000 m 2 . Around 

20,000 visitors are expected daily – perhaps somewhat 

too highly estimated. 

The theming has been secured by licences from 

Marvel Entertainment and Cartoon Network. One of 

the main attractions will be an LSM-Coaster from 

Mack Rides (with a similar layout to the "blue fire" at 

Europa-Park). 

Further investors are the Al Hilal Bank, the Commercial 

Bank International, the Noor Islamic Bank 

and the Sharjah Islamic Bank.

QUIOTO 

Text: 

H. Jürgen Kagelmann 

A new cable railway is in planning in the Ecuadorian 

capital of Quito. As announced by the 

Lord Mayor Jorge Albán, the attraction will apparently 

be 14.5 km (!) long, which will connect 

the highest-lying capital city in the world (2,850 

m) with its international airport. 

In the event that 

the plans that 

have been submitted 

by the public 

Transport Association 

(Aerometro) 

can be realized, 

the new attraction 

“Metroférico” will 

be able to transport 

approximately 

4,000 passengers 

a day (including 

baggage) in 

up to 160 cabins 

(á 25 persons). Construction begin is anticipated to 

be in autumn 2014, and completion at the end of 

2016. The background here is the increasing 

attractiveness of the old colonial city for tourists and 

business people. The new construction will be the 

longest person-cable railway in South America. 

Construction will apparently be undertaken by the 

Austrian-Swiss Firm Doppelmayr/Garaventa AG. 

Quito already has the smaller cable railway “TelefériQo”, 

which is part of the small park Parque 

Volcano, travelling high into the skies.

MOVIE PARK 

Anew and surprising 

cooperation of two 

European parks has 

come into being between 

Movie Park Germany 

(Park Group Parques 

Reunidos) and the Efteling 

theme park in the 

Netherlands: all new season-pass 

holders have 

the right to visit the other 

park once during the 

season. 

Whether or not this 

cooperation will be further 

developed was not 

known at the time of 

going to press. ■
