WINE TASTING IN THE FERRIS WHEEL
Very well received by
visitors: The wine tasting in
Göbel’s Ferris Wheel at the
Mainz Frühjahrsmesse
A restored wooden caravan
and a number of historic showman
vehicles were exhibited
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
On 11 th April – one day before the official opening
of the Mainz Frühjahrsmesse – the Interessengemeinschaft
Mainzer Schausteller und Marktbeschicker
e.V. (IMSM) (Mainz Association of
Showmen and Merchants) held a wine tasting in
the Ferris Wheel from Göbel, to which they had
invited politicians, media representatives and
friends.
The event was moderated by the incumbent Rhine-
Hesse Wine Queen Judith Dorst, who provided
information on every wine served. Among the 8
different types of wine offered there were, for example,
a Dornfelder Rose demi-sec, Chardonnay Classic or
some Spätburgunder dry, such as a “Blanc de Noir”.
After every second round, the Ferris Wheel stopped for
a refill of glasses. Moreover, pretzels, cheese, grapes,
and Fleischwurst were served as a good lining for the
guests’ stomachs during the 2-hour wine tasting,
which proved quite entertaining for the guests. After
the wine tasting, much 'talking shop' was conducted
in front of the Ferris Wheel, where cosy seating
possibilities, a bar and a number of bistro tables had
been deployed along with a fairground organ, two
historic tractors, and a thoroughly restored slat-roofed
caravan providing a beautiful nostalgic flair.
IMSM Chairman Aldo Sottile and the attendant
members were highly satisfied with the course of the
event, which lasted up until the late evening. The 140
attending guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves and
contacts between the showmen and the politicians
were deepened. Ursula Groden-Kranisch, member of
the Bundestag and Chairwoman of her party in the
neighbouring community of Hechtsheim had come
from Berlin, just as had Günter Beck, the Lord Mayor
of Mainz.

With the multi-storey Funhouse
“Gaudi-Hütt’n” that
was taken over from the Bart
firm at the end of the 2013
season, Hartmann & Söhne
now own an impressive Funhouse
trio.
The Walkthrough construction
specialist from Iserlohn has now
added the “Gaudi-Hütt’n to their
collection of attractions, consisting
of “Time Factory” and
“Krumm & Schief Bau”. The new
arrival was presented under Hartmann management at
the Hannover Frühlingsfest for the first time. For the Hartman
brothers Dennis, Paul and Riccardo, the appearance
in Hannover was preceded by 4 months of hard
work, as the attraction had to undergo a labour-intensive
renovation before it could be presented as brand new.■

MAGIC
RECORD ATTEMPT NO. 2
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
At the Osterkirmes in Saarlouis,
the “Magic” round ride
from the Spangenberger family
surprised visitors with a new
gondola design.
The twelve gondolas have been
covered with foils in strong
colours and circus motifs. Every
group of 4 gondolas has been
painted in the same colour with
the same circus scenes, with pink
having been assigned to artists,
green to clowns, yellow to
animals, and blue to magic. The
Spangenberger name sign and a
number of stars have been
mounted to the front side of the
gondolas. The foils were made by
the "Attacke" advertising agency
in Ulm, and affixed to the
gondolas by an expert paint
shop.

After last year’s entry into the
“Guinness Book of Records”
with 1973 women in dirndls, a
new record attempt is to be set
at this year’s Brezelfest in
Speyer. According to plans,
several thousands of people in
dirndls and lederhosen are to
participate in a procession
along Maximilianstraße up to the
Brezelfest, thus breaking the
current world record of 2,664
people held by the city of Nürnberg.
At this year’s Frühjahrsmesse,
numerous flyers have already
called upon the public to
bring this world record home to
Speyer. Whether or not the organisers
will succeed in guiding
the masses of visitors in single
file along Maximilianstraße to the
Brezelfest on the Messplatz on
12 th July at 5 p.m., when residents
and guests will meet for
the record attempt at Altpörtel
and on Maximilianstraß, remains
to be seen. After the event, the
long “Nacht der Tracht”, or Night
of Traditional Costumes, will be
celebrated in the beer tent. ■

GEISTERSTADT

son Hermann Jnr. and Jakob.

incomplete. Next to them:

responsible for the mask
Text & Photos: Helmut Bresler
To mark the 50 th birthday of the “Geisterstadt”,
having been operated by Hermann Fellerhoff and
under this proud name since 2011, new ghosts
have been installed and the existing residents
have been brought 'up to date' for the 2014 season.
The huge bat in the front, some smaller examples
along the course, as well as the monster in the trolley
come from the American constructer Adam Johnston
from California, who has already developed a number
of figures for the enterprise. The freight landed very
well packed at Nürnberg airport. “But it contains a
dinosaur!” exclaimed an airport staff member while
clearing the formalities. He had probably seen the
head of the huge bat and determined the mysterious
creature to be an extinct prehistoric creature. Further
novelties are two figures from the Hippel workshop:
the jumping monster and the vampire with a monk’s
habit. Unimportant for the public, but a significant
saving of labour for the operator, is the new
galvanized heavy load flooring. It provides for a
saving of five hours of build-up and dismantling time.
Jennifer Fellerhoff herself is responsible for the
impressive make-up of the staff, taking about 30
minutes for just one face. In addition to heads with
seemingly painful injuries fitting neatly into a ghost
ride, there is also the likeable clown stirring up the
frightened visitors. The actors make their appearance
in the station area as well as behind the hinged doors
at the entrance and the exit. The history of the ride:
First owner was the Löffelhardt firm, who thought
there were too few turns inside the ride and
immediately considered a reconstruction, in order to
be able to install a higher number of scary moments.
The last owner prior to the takeover by Fellerhoff was
the Austrian Bachmeier firm from Wels. A similar ride,
almost identical construction, is toured throughout
France under the name of “King Kong”. Both
attractions are exotic and unique rides.

SKY DRIVE RIDE TRACK AT THE TOWER EVENT CENTRE
At the Palmkirmes in Recklinghausen,
visitors were able to try
out the new “Sky Drive” ride
track at the “Tower Event Centre”
presented by Charles Blume. In
addition to this new ride
attraction, the owner also talks
about a “considerable increase
in the overall appeal” of the
tallest transportable skyscraper.
Text:

Heiko Schimanzik
Having been installed directly above the
entrance area, the new ride track immediately
catches the visitor's eye from the outside. The whole
“Sky Drive” construction is built onto a 40 foot
container. During the build-up the ride track, which
is freely laid out above the entrance area, is unfolded
from the front in order to extend the track. In some
sections, the track itself takes a right-angle; a
feature well-known from the “Wilde Maus”. The effect
is much the same – passengers have the sensation
of careering towards an abyss, but sheer away at the
very last moment. The construction of the vehicles
resembles a Segway.
On the tower, the vehicles do not operate as
independent units, but are track bound and permanently
installed. Passengers simply get in, are enclosed
by well-padded safety restraints giving them
the feeling of absolute safety, and it is reassuring to
know that a three-point locking system has been built
in. At a height of 7 metres, the vehicles travel to the
outside and provide passengers a varied and quite
spectacular ride experience for all the passers-by to
see. This ride attraction was built by the German
Sunkid firm, which also built the new coaster trains
for the “Teststrecke”. The development took a lot of
time, but the result is well worth seeing and
8

experiencing. On completion, the construction was
approved by TÜV Süd. Taking a ride in this attraction
is voluntary; no visitor is forced to partake! At the time
of our visit however, we found that about 95 percent
of the visitors wanted to try out the new fun experience.
However, passengers have to be at least
1.20 metres in height. According to Charles Blume,
further new investments include the new LED illumination
of the top of the tower, more than 120,000
new LEDs in a new light tunnel, two new LED
screens on the 7 th floor, as well as lighting effects in
the themed rooms. The new lighting array was made
by the DMX-Concept firm. “Master Salvatore” still
welcomes the visitors to the outdoor area, and also
appears several times inside the construction; for
example the master’s head spitting water and a
second Dali head that immediately blows the
visitors dry again. The great Master welcomes the
visitors quite grumpily, while continuing to simply
apply himself to his painting.
Furthermore, new figures from the Hofmann firm and
from Power-Metal-Art were integrated into the construction.
The almost 2-metre Terminator and the 2-
metre Dali figure were equipped with laser effects.
Every visitor can choose how long to stay in the
Event-Tower. Many visitors also enjoy the view from
high above, having refreshments in the Skyline-Café.
For wheelchair users, 3 floors of the Tower are
barrier-free and wheelchair-friendly, and a lift takes
wheelchair users and other handicapped persons
comfortably up to the Skyline-Café. The construction
is almost 31 metres tall and requires a ground area
of 22 x 15 metres. 980 m 2 walk-in space on 9 floors
offer not only the new ride track, a Sky-Vie, a Sky-
Walk Walkthrough, the Skyline-Café, 7 bridges and
balconies, 12 themed rooms, 26 gaming devices, a
24 m 2 LED video screen, free toilet facilities,
distorting mirrors, spider tunnels, light tunnels, the
singing rock granny, and many other effects. ■

OCEAN DRIVE
The brand new 2-pillar dodgem
track “Ocean Drive” from Theo
Hahn from Schwanau built by
Adesco celebrated its première
at last year’s Martinimarkt in
Gengenbach (Black Forest).

Sascha, Theo, and Thomas
Hahn (f.l.t.r)
Last July, Theo Hahn, who had been touring with a
6-pillar dodgem track built by the Mack firm since
1962, contracted the Adesco firm to build the attraction.
The quality as well as the light-weight and
compact design of the dodgem track provides for a
fast relocation of the construction – the build-up takes
only six hours – all tipped the scales towards the
choice of this manufacturer. The Mack dodgem track
was sold to the Eifelpark, and the 23 dodgem cars,
newly purchased only a couple of years ago, are now
used on the new construction. As the Hahn family has
always been enthralled by Florida, this theme was
chosen for the new dodgem track. Heavy Harleys,
typical American pick-up trucks and limousines have
been mounted on the rim, and the construction
features surfers, stars and starlets, as
well as highway motifs. Paul Deputter from
Belgium was in charge of the dodgem
track’s visual design, which he carried out in
the manufacturer’s halls. A total of 8,500 LED
lights provide the perfect lighting for the
dodgem track. The platform has been made
of aluminium; the steel parts have been
galvanized and the sound equipment from
the Bell firm provide the perfect acoustic
experience. Relocating the “Ocean Drive” with ground
measurements of 25 x 11 metres, a height of 6 metres,
and electrical requirements
of 50 kW
requires 3 transport
vehicles (1 centre
trailer, 1 chaise wagon,
and 1 paybox
wagon). The new
dodgem track will be
presented at about
25 venues each
season. Apart from
the Martinimarkt in
Gegenbach, the events in Kehl, Offenburg, and Oberkirchen
are among the regular venues of the Hahn
family.

AMBERG
Many large events are held at Pentecost – also in
Bavaria; for example in Erlangen, Bayreuth, and
Ingolstadt. Yet Amberg, the almost 45,000-resident
city in the Upper Palatinate in East Bavaria, is
rarely mentioned in this regard, and quite unjustifiably
so, in our view. Both of Amberg's Dult
events – at Pentecost and in autumn – have
developed very well over the years.
In how many cities, we may ask, is there a director of
the city archive who meticulously edits the history of
an event, giving differently themed speeches and
commanding a large, interested
audience in the run-up to the
event? Only in Amberg! Here Dr.
Johannes Laschinger has packed
the results of his research into the
650 Dult years into exciting stories,
the telling of which makes history
well-worth experiencing. Well
done to him! The list of operators
for the anniversary Dult are well
worth considering; the “Atlantis”
Walkthrough construction (Drelischek),
“Cyber Space” (Kaiser),
“Star Dancer” (Störzer), “Street
Fighter” (Zinnecker), dodgem
track (Perz), Simulator (Kollmann),
Swing Boat (Buch), “Rund um den
Tegernsee” (Hohmann) and the
“Orion 2” Ferris Wheel (Drliczek),
along with attractive kiddie rides,
sales and game booths. But that is
not nearly all. There will also be a
historic Dult section, where Buch’s
Chair-o-Plane, a large fairground
organ, as well as old and fully
operational Hanomag traction
engines from Günter Perz will
bring back the good old days.
Moreover, the bric-a-brac market,
offering everything from hosiery,
flags and sheets to sunglasses
and fabrics, will leave nothing to
be desired. To mark this year’s
anniversary, there will also be “Der
billige Jakob” (Cheap Jack), who
is well known throughout Germany
and can almost be considered as
a show booth operator with his
impressive, ribald announcements.
In short – everything has
been thought of, even the specially
brewed Dult beer from the
Amberg Kummert brewery.
For several years, the Amberg Dult
has been organised by the municipal enterprise of
public law, and by the Amberg Congress Marketing
(ACM) with its manager Petra Strobl. She is supported
by fairground director Markus Bayer, as well as the Dult
coordinator Maria Frank. Sandra Hofmann and Kathrin
Stich work professionally on advertising. Josef (Joe)
Richthammer from the municipal Public Order Office
used to organise the Amberg Dult events for about 35
years before the organisation was handed over to the
ACM in 1997.
On the occasion of the anniversary, there will be a festschrift,
or commemorative publication, a new Dult
poster and, naturally, the popular Dult flyer providing
an overview of all relevant information.

WELCOMING SPEECH BY THE MAYOR
Dear Dult visitors,
Our Amberg Dult is a very special event, no question about it! Not
only because it captures the kiddies' hearts with its exciting
attractions including numerous attractive rides, but it also offers an
ample choice of culinary and musical delicacies to young people and
adults.
Further to the modern ride attractions and the always up-to-date programme,
there is also the bric-a-brac market that offers goods that
leave nothing to be desired. It is also an especially important fact that
the 10-day Dult, held twice a year, will celebrate its 650 th birthday,
which makes it truly an outstanding event.
The event ranks only second among the oldest Volksfest events in
Bavaria – following the Gillamoos in Abensberg. I would like to use
this anniversary as an opportunity to say “thank you” with all my heart.
First of all my thanks go to Kurfürst Ruprecht I von der Pfalz (Elector
Ruprecht I), who on 13 th September 1364 granted Amberg the right
to hold three fairs and markets every year, which started the longterm
tradition of the event that has been preserved to this day. Moreover,
I would also like to thank the Amberg Congress Marketing,
which has been organising the two Amberg Dult events in spring and
autumn since the 1990s. Thank you also to the countless operators,
marketers and all the other participants; it is due to their efforts that
the event is very well attended and highly popular with the public
every year.
I also heartily congratulate all
those who each in their own
way, from the distant past
right up to this very day, have
contributed to the success of
the “Dult project”, and I celebrate
their commitment which
will certainly be rewarded
with crowds of visitors also in
this anniversary year – a prodigious
number indeed of
both young and old visitors
alike; in other words, absolutely
everyone who has the
possibility to celebrate this
event and at the same time
enjoy the best entertainment.
On this note, I wish the
Amberg Dult, the 650 th anniversary, which will be celebrated with a
festive opening ceremony at the beginning of the season on 6 th June
2014, many further enjoyable and entertaining years!
Yours
Michael Cerny
(Michael Cerny has been the new Amberg Mayor since the
beginning of this year.)

Josef Richthammer, also
known as Joe, has given the
Amberg Dult an attractive
profile during his over 35 years
“term of office”
has steadily increased. The organisers are proud of
the event's family-friendly flair that appeals to every
generation. As is the case in many other
cities, the first event after the long winter
break is “better” than the autumn event. The
Amberg Dult spreads over an area of about
20,000 m 2 , and oh yes, the price for a litre of
beer is less than €7 in Amberg.
For Vera Blum, Amberg is her second home.
She has already seen some 100 Dult events
and her memories are only vague of the very
first ones. She works at the shooting gallery,
where nothing can unsettle her, and her
style of communicating with the visitors is
simply all part of the fun for everybody.

It goes without saying that she

She pulled him up by the collar and

She operates the shooting gallery together with her

Rarities from the
Berg archive
The Bergkirchweih introduced in 1755 numbers
among the oldest Volksfest events in Germany.
Actually, it dates back even further into the past,
and now the Berg is calling again.
In the late 17 th century, the first rock-cut cellars of the
breweries were built at the foot of the Burgberg, and
the Schießhaus, or shooting house, where the Altstädter
Schützenkompanie used to hold its Vogelschießen,
or bird-shoot event at Pentecost, was built
in their vicinity in 1729. As this event - above all the
“Vögeleszug” procession, in which the Schützenkompanie
marches to the Schießhaus carrying the
wooden eagle - attracted many non-resident visitors,
the council of the united Erlangen old and new
towns decided to combine the old town fair events
that had been abolished in 1744, and hold the threeday
event in front of the Altstädter Schießhaus
beginning on Whit Tuesday. Due also to the
enthusiastic students’ reports, the Bergkirchweih
evolved into a popular beer fest enjoying cult status
in the middle of the 19 th century, attracting visitors
from Nürnberg and Fürth even back then. Repeatedly
extended and finally attaining a 12-day duration,
the cellar operations and the “Budenstraße” (Street
of Booths) were continually extended, whereas the
goods fair and the Vögeleszug disappeared, and the
shooting was relocated. Despite being interrupted
during the two World Wars, the “Berg” steadily
developed into an event where visitors now far outnumber
the Erlangen locals.
259 Years Erlangen Bergkirchweih
Huguenot city, Siemens city, university city, health
city – Erlangen is well-known under these names, but
Erlangen is far more than all these. Erlangen is a
traditional beer city. Karl May praised the excellent
quality of Erlangen beer, and in the second half of
the 19 th century, Erlangen even took the top position
in Bavarian beer export – back than there were,
believe it or not, 18 breweries in the city. While this is
naturally well-known among experts, Erlangen’s
reputation as beer city becomes evident to anyone
visiting the city who may not be 'in the know' every
year around Pentecost, when thousands of thirsty
visitors descend upon the Burgberg to enjoy a fresh
litre of beer and cheerful music, and to spend
pleasant hours under the chestnut trees with their
family and friends. Both young and old, locals and
regular guests from near and far are easily attracted
by “their Queen of Beer Festivals”, which will be
celebrated for the 259 th time – from 5 th to 16 th June
this year.

The Berg entices masses
of visitors
Showmen at the Berg Event
Nowadays, the Berg event is a glittering, sparkling,
loud experience course with a varied choice and
crazy ride attractions, quite unlike the quiet Berg
event back in 1755. At that time there were no rides
and Ferris Wheels. The Berg was a market, with
travelling vendors offering their goods for sale, foodstuff
being much praised, charlatans and quacks
offering their dubious services, fortune tellers seeking
and finding their crowds and publicans serving
beer. The entertainment programme was also extended
– showmen came to Erlangen with their show
booths and presented their rarities, circus artists,
freak shows, Panopticons, dog and monkey theatres,
menageries, flea circuses and Punch and Judy
shows. In the early 19 th century the old Ferris Wheel
(a humble predecessor), a Switchback, as well as a
double-floor carousel attracted the visitors. The cinematography
is a true sensation and the predecessor
of the cinema is a crowd puller also at its Erlangen
appearance. The steam engine takes the place of
muscular strength and replaces horses used as
working animals as well as for transport. The showman
trade as it is known today develops slowly in the
19 th century and rapidly from about 1950, when technology
brings about new movement sequences and
hydraulics allow for elevating and lowering movements
to be constructed in changing combinations.

Thomas Clauß has known the Berg from childhood,
and indeed from his parents and grandparents, and
now he will present his own attraction for the first time.
According to tradition, a showcase attraction from the
show and fun sector will be built up in the centre of
the Berg fairground. This year, it will be the family
attraction “Krumm & Schief Bau” from Hartmann. Presented
once again after a break, will be Josef Dölle’s
“Hot Shot” Ejector Seat. For the second time, the
Nülken family will come to Franconia from the far
north with their large “Sky Dance” chain ride, soaring
high up into the sky. And naturally there will be many
regular participants in the culinary, games and entertainment
sectors, which liven up the Berg and leave
nothing to be desired. With a proud 55 metre depth,
the 300-ton “Europa-Rad” will provide its passengers
a magnificent view of the Berg. For 25 years now – a
proud quarter of a century - the showman family Kipp
has been a very popular guest in Erlangen.
Berg Classic: the Dodgem Track
Once again to be the classic meeting point for the
younger generation; the dodgem track. There are two
reasons that keep it young, the preference of the
latest hits blaring powerfully from the loudspeakers
and legal driving without driving licence – even if it is
only on a 13 x 26 track. It goes without saying that
many contacts can be made at a meeting like this –
the dodgem track has always been and is still the
ideal place for flirting. In 1959, the Erlangen showman
firm Kunstmann introduced their brand new and,

The dodgem track in Erlangen: “Der große Crash” (Kunstmann)
at that time, top-grade modern dodgem track built in Germany, with only
six pillars supporting the roof. That was a technical revolution. Only a
couple of years before, the roof structure was still supported by 36
heavy wooden pillars. Back then six transports were required to relocate
the dodgem track from one venue in Franconia to another; every single
part had to be moved during build up and dismantling. In 1973, the
“Kunstmanns” were once again at the forefront of technology, which had
taken a big step forward – after all it made work much easier. The roof
structure was supported by only two stable pillars which were unfolded
at the ground and could be hydraulically raised. Since the year 2000 the
Wilhelm Kunstmann oHG – its official company name - has owned a
further improved variation: now the whole track construction, the
podium, and the roof structure are folded up and built onto a heavy
centre trailer. As a result only two transport vehicles are required for
transporting the dodgem track, which can be built up ready for operation
within 10 hours by a coordinated team. The paybox wagon, an eye
catcher due to its artwork, is also the garage for the dodgem cars. The
100 th Kunstmann anniversary is fast approaching. It started in 1920 with
the first Berg appearance – back then with a chair-o-plane and a
shooting gallery.
For about 30 years, the Augsburg puppeteer family Aprill have been a
participant in Erlangen. Their repertoire comprises 40 plays, and there
are often more adults than children at the Punch and Judy show.

A small booth and a nail beam belong to the enterprise,
and bring in enough for the Punch and his
friends to live on. These days, the performances that
used to last 20 to 25 minutes have been compressed
to about 10 minutes. “Neither the children nor their
parents have free time and are always in a hurry,”
says impresario Fritz Aprill. Long gone are the days,
when his predecessor, Arthur Nenninger, presented
evening performances including the classics of world
literature in his sold-out theatre.
The age pyramid is changing – steadily decreasing
children and steadily increasing pensioners. Even
though the university city of Erlangen accommodates
many young adults, this is an urgent problem. An ever
increasing number of older visitors will not get anything
out of the Berg party zone. Binding them to the
traditional event that they used to love is quite a
challenge for the organisers from the Erlangen city
authorities. One possibility would be a nostalgic Berg
with a matching offering, for which the area at
Schützenweg would be ideal. Simply think about it …
The Berg goes wild – in the Erlangen pubs from midnight,
this is guaranteed! Nobody wants to spoil the
party for young people – but the orgies have grown
wilder from year to year. The Berg is disqualified from
being the aperitif for a long party night, simply because
of all the money spent in the pubs, and not at
the Berg event. Many visitors say, “It’s the showmen’s
own fault if there is no more business.” Nonsense!
They have been fighting this trend for years and want
to change the opening hours. At 10 a.m. the fairground
is deserted, and by the time it’s hustling and
bustling at 10.30 p.m. it is not long before it has to
close. These two contradictory aspects are hardly
harmonious! Visitors come to the Berg later (summertime,
hot temperatures, etc.) and want to celebrate

longer. In future, the Berg can remain attractive only
if it can maintain its excellent reputation in the showman
industry. Therefore, it is high time to take action.
Abolishing the traditional beverage booth from 2015
to counter alcohol abuse is received with bafflement,
just as are discussions about reducing the alcohol
content of the so-called “liquid bread”. There are
many subjects for discussion relating to the Berg and
its future. But now it is high time that it beckons us
once again. By the way, one thing the Berg can do
without is the car! Visitors who want to join the party
should leave their car at home. The Berg area is
easily accessible by public transport, and it is always
quite a special experience to see the route “S”

CORPUS CHRISTI DAY FAIR
A LOOK FORWARD
Text: Michael Petersen
Photo: Norman Vogt
This year’s Sterkrade Corpus Christi Fair, which
will be celebrated from 18 th to 23 rd June, will begin
with a two-hour long 'Happy Hour'! For six days
visitors will be in high spirits, and enjoy fun and
culinary delicacies. A high standard fair event
both in quality and size will be presented on the
colourful fun-mile spreading through the entire
city centre.
Due to construction work and redesigns, city centres
change over the years, often resulting in regular
losses of sites for fair events, just as the case in Oberhausen
where there is no longer any available site for
one of the huge coasters. New retail outlets, green
areas, parking facilities and parks have shaped the
image of the city centre for some time now. Sometimes
a fair event has to make way for new changes;
it just has to cope with new situations. For a fairground
director like Sina Illmann in Sterkrade, this proves a
big challenge every year, not to mention ongoing discussions
about whether the safety regulations for
large events make any sense.
The fair will be opened after the Happy Hour. On
opening day Sterkrade citizens tend to keep things
rather to themselves, and bizarrely celebrate their
“Christmas Eve” fair on this opening day. Circles of
friends, staff and societies will meet for a joint stroll
across the fairground or extensively celebrate at
“their” beverage outlets. It is the day and night of the
drink and snack booths, whereas the ride attractions
tend to be at a disadvantage. This will change on
Corpus Christi Day, when business will go full swing
in Sterkrade immediately after the church service. In
the last few years, the city centre was buzzing with
activity on this public holiday. Once again, the
“Bellevue” Ferris Wheel from Bruch will make its
rounds on the car park at the Technisches Rathaus
this year. On the Eugen zur Nieden-Ring, on the
access road to the Hirschhügel, Hartmann’s “Time
Factory” and the debutante “Flip Fly” from Clauß will
be available to the visitors, while further along, adjoining
the Bunker, Fackler’s Go-Kart Track “Rallye
Monte Carlo” will be built up. With as many as seven
large fairground attractions placed up to its foot, the
Hirschhügel hill itself will already offer a proper fair to
visitors. The “Starlight” dodgem track (Petter),
“Turbo Force” (Schäfer), “Beach Jumper” (Wegener),
“large Ghost Ride” (Schütze), Caterpillar Ride
(Steiger-Buchholz), “Breakdance” (Bruch), and the
“Auf Manitus Spuren” water ride (Heitmann-
Schneider) will provide varied ride fun. The collaboration
between Kaiser’s “High Energy” and Kreft’s
“Love-Express” on the Kleiner Markt already proved
successful two years
ago. On the Neuer
Markt visitors will encounter
the following
ride attractions this
time: Bruch’s “Spinning
Racer”, “Nessy”
and “Octopussy”
(both Markmann),
“Wellenflug” (Wendler),
and the “Schloss
Dracula” Ghost Ride
from Schütze, while
the Zilianplatz will be
occupied by three
large rides, including
the “Diamond” dodgem
track (Hartkopf-
Osselmann), the
“Transformer”
(Schmidt) and “Circus-Circus”
(Bruch).
However, the most
spectacular novelty
for this year’s Corpus
Christi Day Fair will be
built up in front of the
railway station; namely
the “Mega-King-
Tower” from Zinnecker.
Considering
the size of the fair, it is
quite unusual that
there will be only one
Walkthrough construction
among the
offered attractions.
The event is once
again extensively advertised
throughout
the entire Ruhr region,
with the strikingly designed
poster motif
featuring well-chosen
large rides being a
real eye-catcher, as usual. After all, the Corpus
Christi Day Fair cannot survive on the patronage of
Oberhausen citizens alone. On Saturday, the designated
Children’s Day, the younger visitors will be
offered an ample choice of special events. A fireworks
display on Monday evening will mark the end
of the superb six-day fair event. Those, who would
like to take home a souvenir from the Corpus Christi
Day Fair will easily find something appropriate in the
fairground office opposite the Ferris Wheel. ■

Every year from Friday to Monday,
the city centre is transformed into
Die Jubiläumskirmes
a colourful ‘fair mile’, which is held
two weeks after Pentecost. This
tradition is lovingly preserved.
The organisers are fully aware of
their responsibility for the survival
of this ancient fair tradition.
Noticeably increasing numbers
of applications in the last few
years prove the excellent
reputation of the city-centre fair,
also built up in the area of the
former railway station that this
event has enjoyed for some years
now.
Fairground attractions and a
couple of market merchants will
add up to a total front of 1,000
metres, with more than 120 showmen
being granted one of the
coveted contracts. On Friday at 6

There can hardly be any more transparency – and the

to high demand from organisers, the tour schedule for
the première year had already been fixed relatively
early. After Recklinghausen, Stuttgart, and Kaiserslautern
the tour schedule includes Bayreuth, Oberhausen-Sterkrade,
Goslar, Erbach, Crange, Erding,
Bad Dürkheim, once again Stuttgart (Cannstatt Volksfest),
Schloß Holte, Werne, Parchim, and Hochheim.
Two further venues have now been added at short

ANDREAS ZINNECKER
Mr Zinnecker, today is the last opening day in Stuttgart –
what is your first review after the first two venues?
Absolutely positive. We are highly satisfied with both the tower
and visitor attendance!
Really nothing negative?
Not with the tower itself. But there were some problems with
the lighting. After Stuttgart, the complete tower lighting will be
changed and replaced by a new system, which will first be used
in Kaiserslautern.
Why did you decide in favour of the Funtime construction?
Because this manufacturer has long-time experience with the
construction and building of tall towers, such as their successful
‘Star Flyer’ constructions. After the inspection of the first Funtime
Freefall Tower in Munich, I knew it was a good construction with a
brilliant construction technology – and that’s what I wanted!
34

And this proved to be true?
Yes, we are very happy with Funtime.
Already during the building phase, I was not
afraid a single day that the construction might not
be completed on time. We have followed every
phase on site, at the same time planning and
realising the required vehicle fleet.
Talking of the vehicle fleet – yours has
caused and still causes much discussion
among your fans and colleagues alike?
You see of course the operation, the ride, or
the construction you earn your money with is
most important. However, other things, such as
a decent, modern, uniformly designed vehicle
fleet, are also part of a company’s corporate
identity. We have a separate traction unit for
every transport of the tower – in other words
seven vehicles all painted in our company colour
royal blue.
Of course we did, but on a
lower scale. We always presented
our ‘Bayern-Breaker’ Breakdance
– even during this period.
What happened next?
When the end of the solar
boom was looming, we withdrew
from this sector in time. From
2012, we once again fully concentrated
on our showman
career, which we were able to do
knowing that we were in a good
financial position and had appropriate
reserves for investments
into novelty attractions. We first
presented the Loop-Fighter ‘The
King’ and now the ‘Mega King Tower’.
Would you like to add anything else, Mr
Zinnecker?
Andreas Zinnecker
Just as your advertising vehicle. Where
do you get old treasures like that?
The veteran Ford car used to belong to the
Berlin Kindl brewery and was for sale after the
brewery’s restructuring, and I went for it – without
knowing why at that moment. Now I know.
Mr Zinnecker, usually you do not talk
money. But in your case, there is much
speculation going on about how you have
been able to invest so much money into brand
new showman operations in a relatively short
time – and still are?
I know very well that this is much talked
about – mostly nonsense and often also rumours
are spread. I am glad to get the chance to
comment on that – but I have to go a little further
back.
Go ahead!
In 2005, my family and I started a second
career so to speak in the solar industry. We saw
the chance to earn good money in this booming
industry. For 7 years, we have been working in
the solar industry in Spain and may well have
become the largest solar installation company of
its kind in Europe with at times up to 200
employees.
Wow! And you didn't work as showmen
during these years?
Yes, I would now that I have the opportunity.
My family and I are sorry that prestigious showman
firms to this day have blocked sites with
false applications for allegedly new 100 m tower
attractions – to our disadvantage – without a
construction like that currently being built.
And if somebody hits the 100 m mark?
First, with our giant gorilla on the tip, we are
currently the tallest mobile Freefall Tower – that’s
a fact. Secondly, what many of our competitors do
not know is that Funtime has had the construction
technology and method of its Freefall Towers as
well as another 50 variations of them protected by
patent and that they will not tolerate any copies.
Therefore, nobody should do any experiments
that could no longer be solved. Third, our construction
is designed for being able to outdo any
height heralded. And I am explicitly not talking
about tips or poles but complete tower sections!
And that’s all there is to say about this topic. My
question to the organisers is if another 5 or 10
metres in height are really important or decisive?
With the height already reached now a couple of
metres more may hardly be recognised.
Another two events have now been added
to the tour schedule already fixed some time
ago?
Yes, that’s right. We will now build up our
‘Mega King Tower’ also at the Stoppelmarkt in
Vechta and at the Christmas Market at the ‘Alexa’
Centre in Berlin-Mitte at the end of the season. ■

Première in Paderborn:

Jekyll & Hyde
Ever since 2012 the Paderborn showman –
touring several gastronomic operations
together with his wife – has nurtured the wish for a
ride attraction, more precisely for a propeller
attraction. After repeated talks, Bethel Thelen
decided that this type of KMG construction fulfilled
all the requirements that are
important to him: It is a
compact, spectacular
major ride on one transport
vehicle.
However, due to well-filled
order books at KMG, the
delivery date could be
scheduled only for the
spring of 2014, giving the
Thelen family some peace
and quiet in which to
embrace the new
challenge.

during the speedy ride that
soars up to a height of 40
metres. The overall visual
image of the towering attraction
is refreshingly different. The
Propeller has been painted in
deep green, blue and lilac
colours, giving it an elegant
and prominent appearance.
The painted settings feature
perfectly realized scenes from
the film of the same name. The
mast is dominated by “Big Ben”
and is a real eye catcher, just as
the classic phone box and the
six lanterns in the station area.
Initially there were plans to
purchase an original English
telephone box, however, due to its weight of about
800 kg, Thelen had a carpenter build a model
instead. This resulted in a weight reduction of
about 600 kg for a phone box that proved almost
identical in appearance. As the cast-iron lanterns
were also too heavy, new ones were made of cast
aluminium, weighing just a fraction of the original
lanterns. The LED screens on top of the paybox
were built by the SAZ Media firm. The letterings and
spotlights were fitted out with LEDs with changing
colours accompanied by the matching sound from
a sound system from the Hoffman firm. Fire and fog
effects surprise passengers and spectators alike
during every ride. “Jekyll and Hyde”, which has
been built according to the latest DIN standards,
has been successfully approved by TÜV Süd. This
season, the attraction will be presented at, among
other venues, Kevelaer, Menden, Halver, Gevelsberg
and Eschwege.

PREMIÈRE
“Predator” première at the
Frühjahrsbend in Aachen
With the “Predator” from the
Löffelhardt family, a spectacular
major ride has now returned to
the fairgrounds. The comeback
of the ride, built by the Sorani &
Moser firm, which once was
known under the names “Transformer”,
“Star Gate” and “Star
Trip”, was enthusiastically awaited
at the Bend in Aachen. The
Kirmes & Park Revue interviewed
Reiner Löffelhardt about
his newly purchased ride.
Predator
Our son Sandro was almost crazy about this ride,
and we knew that it was being sold.

Reiner and Manuela
Löffelhardt
What were your experiences at the appearance
in Aachen?
Visitors stopped in front of the ride, watched the
spectacular ride experience high up in the skies, and
long queues formed in front of our paybox. We are highly
satisfied with the public’s reception at the Öcher Bend.
How did the purchase of this heavy ride
attraction actually come about?
What condition was the ride in when you
purchased it?
Quite dismal! As it is now well-known, the construction
had been decommissioned for some time
and had a number of shortcomings. We were well
aware of this. Together with the Dröge firm, we
examined the ride and then decided to buy it.
When exactly was that?
In the spring of 2013 we made the deal with the
Lemoine/Ernst family, and in the summer we transported
the construction to our property.
What changes were made?
The centre trailer was a 7-axle trailer. We reconstructed
the sub frame into a 4-axle trailer suited
to hauling by lorry as an articulated vehicle, so that
relocating the ride requires only three transport
vehicles now. But that was by no means all – the ride
was almost completely rebuilt with the focus being on
the electrical equipment, which was completely renewed
by the Dröge firm. Moreover, all the motors,
bearings and gears were overhauled or replaced. The
gondolas were completely overhauled and the locking
devices on the restraints were renewed before everything
was newly painted. You may well call it a
complete technical reconstruction.

PREMIÈRE
“Predator” details
and in action
Is there any drawback?
Yes, transporting the ride still requires a special
road permit.
Who is responsible for the design?
The draft is by Konstantin Krenek, who is also
responsible for its effective realisation. We deliberately
chose printed foil, as it has a number of advantages
over paintwork.
What about the backflash?
Yes, we did it ourselves, installing the latest LED
lights.
Unfortunately, it has not yet been completed – we
simply have not managed that yet.
Have you succeeded in putting together a good
tour schedule for your première year?
Is the lighting on the backflash, paybox, and
the arms new?
Yes, we are highly satisfied. Our next venues will be
at Neuwied, Aschaffenburg, Würzburg, and Crange. ■

INTERVIEW
EWALD SCHNEIDER
Ewald Schneider twice –
father and son
The towers literally reach for the
sky: After already attaining a
height of 66 metres, the next step
was the 80-metre mark. Now the
magic 100 metre goal is to be
reached! Ewald Schneider announced
the novelty “Hangover”,
which is to be introduced
to the fairground circuit this
season. In an interview on the
occasion of the Nürnberg Frühlingsfest,
he revealed details to
the Kirmes & Park Revue for the
very first time.
How crazy do you have to be to take on such
a risky venture?
Couldn't the Maurer Söhne firm also build a
100-metre tower?
Text: Helmut Bresler
Photos: Helmut Bresler, Heiko Schimanzik
Ewald Schneider (grinning): Certainly it's a risky
venture – but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Along with trust in God, a good family, and a little bit
of luck, with a little bit of craziness all helps!
When actually did the decision begin
development?
In late summer last year. The final decision was
made in autumn.
Have you continued to push on with the two
new 80-metre towers?
I wouldn't say pushed, but they were the driving
force behind our hitting the 100-metre mark now. By
the way as the first transportable ride worldwide.
Many people were surprised by your choice
of abc Rides as manufacturer …
I can understand that. But Willy Walser is at abc
Engineering. He worked some 15 years at Intamin
and knows the ins and outs of Freefall Tower technology.
He is a true “Gyro Gearloose”. We now want to
turn the idea into a success story together.
Certainly – no question about it! Cooperation
with the Munich company has always worked very
well, and I remain true to the ‘Power Tower 2’.
Do you want to tour with two large towers?
I don’t, it's more the family. My son Ewald grew
up with the attraction and knows every nut and bolt.
In the future, he will be operating the ‘Power Tower 2’
– and the parents will give him all the support he
requires, if necessary.
Hangover translates as “Kater” or ‘Katerstimmung’,
or possibly ''Absturz' (drop) in
German. Who came up with the name?
Well, it has to be acknowledged that the US
feature film trilogy of the same name was very successful!
The drop is included in our programme, and after a
ride on the attraction, there will certainly be visitors with
a queasy feeling in their stomach. My adult children had
the appropriate flash of inspiration for the name.
Going up 100 metres into the sky in a rotating
gondola sure provides for a beautiful view. This is
already well known. But what are the additional
two special effects that visitors are in for?
40

[Laughing]: There is much speculation going on
about our two special effects. OK then. First: There
are no shoulder restraints locking the passengers in.
There are only lap bars. Shoulders and torso are
unobstructed. Second: At the highest point, there is
a mechanical irritation causing a surge of adrenaline
in every passenger. You don't see it, but you feel it –
just before the freefall!
Where do you want to start?
Initially my optimistic guess was the Düsseldorf
Rheinkirmes. But perhaps I was a little bit too quick
off the mark. Now I think it may well be in autumn or
winter. The première is planned for this year; in other
words in 2014!
Currently, I reckon with eight transport vehicles
for the construction alone.
Technical Data?
Ground measurements 23 x 23 metres. The
gondola accommodates 27 passengers, and the
complete construction meets the DIN EN 13814
standard requirements.
Lighting?
The latest LED standard with a special programme
for brilliant light.
Investment volume?
INTERVIEW
Aren’t you tempted by the Oktoberfest?
I would be pleased if my 'Power Tower 2' will
once again appear at the Wiesn. But I don’t think the
Wiesn needs a new tower sensation every year. Both
towers – Goetzke’s 'Skyfall' and my 'Power Tower 2'
– have their specific visitors and offer different
effects.
(Taking a deep breath): At the moment, costs
have reached about €3 million.
Playing with the public is the big strength of
the 'Power Tower 2', especially with your wife
Christina making announcements over the
microphone. What will it be like at the new
attraction?
You can build up the new tower in two
variations, can’t you?
Yes, as an 80-metre version or as a 100 metre
version, depending on the organizer's request and
the general conditions at the event.
How is the build-up done – with a large
mobile crane?
There are two possibilities, either by mobile
crane or with the hydraulic construction system.
We will continue this form of dialogue. Our
guests love it – the more individual the better. That is
to say, we not only haul the passengers up, provide
them with a magnificent view, and release them
again; we play with them! A little bit of theatre is
simply a must. After all, the term showman comes
from ‘making a show’. Therefore, we will continue to
offer a show, and one acted out at the highest level
– 100 metres! ■
Project “Hangover”: up until now
not much more than this
announcement has been revealed
What is the organisers’ reaction to the new
scale?
They are curious and ask a lot of questions. I
am pleased with their interest and find that the
'Power Tower 2' is still considered a crowd puller.
Who will be responsible for the artistic
design and do all the artwork?
One of the best in this sector - the Düsseldorf
artist Maciej Bernhardt. Initially, our favourite was
Klaus Hriesik from afaw in Bremen. However, he
could not incorporate the ideas and expectations of
our family, so that’s why it did not work out.
How many transport vehicles are required?

NOSTALGIA
The “Düsenjäger”
helicopter at the Maimarkt
in Landstuhl / Palatinate
We recently discovered the
multi-arm ride with hydraulic
self-control officially known as
“Helikopter” at the Maimarkt in
Landstuhl (near Kaiserslautern)
in Palatinate. It was originally
built as the “Düsenjäger” for
Bonn showman Kurt Kipp by the
Alfred Völker Metallwaren firm in
Frohnlach near Lichtenfels in the
early 1960s.

gondolas are being newly painted. Relocating
the ride, which is some 15 metres in
diameter, requires two transport vehicles.

into the hands of Willi Werlich from Ludwigshafen.
Later it was toured by Andreas Blum from Kaiserslautern.
When Roger Blum founded his own showman

began to restore the construction. To begin

Bruch’s “Spinning Racer”
in Aachen
“Willy der Wurm” (Roos)
surprised visitors with new
decoration details
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
At Easter and in August the Öcher Bend is celebrated
in Aachen. “Öcher Bend” – what does that
actually mean? “Öche” is dialect form for Aachen,
and “Bend” means “large meadow”. The Frühjahrsbend
2014 was celebrated from 19 th April to 5 th May.
In the last few years, the quality of the Volksfest has experienced
a considerable upward trend in its overall
quality, and the Sommerbend - somewhat weaker in
earlier years - has significantly improved. The organiser
has succeeded in contracting attractive large
rides, such as the “Teststrecke”, for Aachen. The Bend
fairground has a very good infrastructure with paved
walkways. In earlier years, walkways were deliberately
laid out in a circular course with many top-end and
corner sites, and it was a pleasure to visit the
appealingly designed fairground. A couple of years
ago, a centre row was integrated into the course, and
the organiser talked of
an open layout of the
fairground. Actually, no
showman wants to
build up their attraction
in the centre row, as
this location presents a
financial risk, especially
for concession stalls.
Showmen have had to
struggle in this row also
in Aachen. This year,
the centre row was not
occupied by a Ferris
Wheel, but by the
“Spinning Racer”
coaster as a crowd puller. This time, the Bend was
prominently occupied, and with the “Predator” from
Löffelhardt visitors could also enjoy a ride première.
The fairground was skilfully laid out, and another site,
unfavourable for concession stalls, benefited by the
placement of the dodgem track from Grass. It seems
that the organiser in Aachen is capable of learning
from experience, accepting the showmen’s criticism
and acting accordingly. This time, the “Movie Star”
Ferris Wheel from Henschel made its rounds directly
adjacent to the main entrance. Further attractions built
up were Loosen’s dodgem track, Musik Express (Milzv.d.Bosch),
“Artistico” (Köhrmann), “Gladiator” (Kriek),
Lemoine’s “Mäuse Circus”, the “Volare” Wave-Swinger
(Blume), “High Impress” (Oberschelp), “Circus
Circus” (Bruch-Gründler), “Fantasy Drive” (Heinen),
“Kristall Palast” (Sturm), “Willy der Wurm” (Roos),
“Piraten Fluß” (Heitmann-Schneider), “Nessy” (Markmann),
“Avenger” (Heinen) and “American Swing”
(Schäfer). Two family days, a Ladies Day and other
events attracted the visitors to the fairground also on
weekdays, and the event was finished off with the fireworks
display on the final Monday. By the way, the fireworks
day turned out to be a strong-turnover day for
the showmen. Aachen has a new problem however;
there are hardly any car parks in the direct vicinity of
the Bend fairground. The spacious area at the railway
station is no longer available due to reconstruction
measures. At the time of our visit on Family Day,
queues of vehicles with potential visitors from
Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands fought their
way through the jammed streets all around the fairground.
It remains to be seen how this problem can be
solved. Frankly speaking, this can only be done with
shuttle buses from a large car park.

Impressions of the
Braunschweig Frühjahrsmasch
Text & Photos:
Uwe Holzmann
In Braunschweig, the traditional Frühjahrsmesse
was held from 28 th March to 13 th April
2014.
The occupation could not have been more
balanced for an event this size. The Ferris Wheel,
coaster, Ghost Ride, Walkthrough construction,
and a Simulator were joined by the major ride,
Swing, as well as the Breakdancer, Schlittenfahrt,
Musikexpress, a chain ride, a dodgem track, and
the younger visitors were able to enjoy a kiddie
track ride, Jet Ride, kiddie carousel and a Bungee
construction. All this was rounded off by snack
booths, shooting galleries, games and numerous
confectionary stalls. After disastrous results at the
Braunschweig fair events due to adverse weather
conditions last year – ice and frost at the Frühjahrsmesse,
and a flood and heavy rain at the Masch in
summer – the showmen’s expectations were high,
and in warm and sunny spring weather throughout
the first opening week satisfying turnover could be
reached. Unfortunately, the Sunday half-way
through the event was “wiped out”, as due to the
explosive football derby of Eintracht Braunschweig
against their rival Hannover 96, the Schützenplatz,
located in the vicinity of the Eintracht stadium, and
the entire area had to be cordoned off and
secured by thousands of policemen due to
expected football hooliganism. As the expected
riots did not materialize (and Eintracht had won),
the showmen at the Frühjahrsmesse were the real
losers on that Sunday. The second opening week
could not make up for losses incurred and moreover
suffered from a lot of rain, so that too few
visitors enjoyed the attractive Crazy Mouse
(Ahrend), Booster
Maxxx (Hoefnagel-
Denies), Rocket
(Weber), Aqua
Velis (Hofmann), or
Halloween
(Rasch), but
maybe took a
round in the Ferris
Wheel (Kröker), a
ride in the “Jaguar-
Express” (Ahrend),
or the “Astro-Liner
X1” Rocket (Meier),
or enjoyed delicious
roasted almonds
from Dannehl,
a Thuringia Bratwurst from Becker, or a cold
drink in the cosy beer garden of Berweke’s Weinstube.

HERFORD
The Herford Osterkirmes
on the Freiheit-fairground
“Musik Express 3000”
(Spangenberger) in Kehl
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
The Osterkirmes in Herford (19 th to 27 th April)
was advertised with an unusual poster motif,
that did not focus on the type of event, but
gave the “Auf der Freiheit” venue in large
letters. Moreover, the poster showed candy
floss with the slogan “made in heaven” and
finally in small print the date and “Volksfest
in Herford”.
The nine-day Osterkirmes in Herford has
established itself in the heart of the city, on the
“Auf der Freiheit” street. Including build-up and
dismantling the city-centre main street is closed
to road traffic for two weeks. This is quite unusual
and proves the attachment of the city authorities
to the local showmen. Both entrances were
decorated with large Easter eggs, Easter
bunnies, and flowers, but the entrance area at
Stephansplatz was somewhat “obstructed” by
the “Breakdance” from Noack. Visitors were led
up to the backflash of the ride – a layout mistake
that was certainly avoidable. Positively noticeable
were the many seating possibilities on the
fairground. Benches decorated with flowers
invited the visitors to linger and enjoy themselves
in several locations and were very well received.
The Ferris Wheel from Cornelius and the
“Around the World” chain ride (v.d. Beek) were
contracted as main attractions. The fairground
wound along Freiheit in the direction of Gänsemarkt
like a great worm. In addition to the aforementioned
main attractions, the dodgem track
from Küchenmeister, Becker’s Simulator, the
“Ghost” (Burghard), Musik Express (Noack/
Steuer), Ruppert’s “Frisbee” and the “Shaker”
Miami (Fick) awaited visitors. On the Gänsemarkt
people were able to admire and experience a
Switchback from 1938 making its rounds, and
Willy Fellerhoff’s “Fahrt ins Blaue” quickly turned
out to be a crowd puller for fans of nostalgic
rides. Moreover, the younger fair visitors enjoyed
a free Punch and Judy show. The stage programme
was well worth seeing, and between six
and eight entertainment programmes were
offered every day. The Osterkirmes was open
daily from 2 p.m., and Wednesday was the
designated Family Day with reduced prices. A
fair flyer with information on the fair, the ride sites,
car parks and stage programme rounded off the
advertising measures.

A harmonious mixture of ride and Funhouse
attractions awaited the public at this year’s
Ostermarkt held from 19 th to 27 th April.
This year, the Theo Hahn firm from Schwanau organised
the Easter market for the 62nd time. The new
“Rio” Funhouse (Dietz) occupied the top-end site
opposite Spangenberger’s “Musik Express 3000”.
Also new this year was the “Ocean Drive” dodgem
track from the organiser. Also built up for the first
time was the “Show Time” from Haas, presenting the
public hot fire tricks for free. The “Panoramica”
Ferris Wheel from the Boos brothers provided the
visitors with a view as far as neighbouring France.

Rides presented once again were the “Free
Style” Swing (Agtsch) and the “Breakdance”
from Zöllner. They were joined by Kollmann’s
“Magic”, the Wave-Swinger from
Kurze, a Pony Ride (Bügler), and a Miami
(Massel).
The designated Family Day on Thursday
was once again very well attended. On this
day there were also many guests from
France as the shops and schools in neighbouring
Strasbourg were closed in the
afternoon. Most of the guests combined
their shopping trip also with a prolonged
stroll across the fairground. This year, the
fireworks display on the second Saturday
was held half an hour earlier as a heavy
thunderstorm was forecast and the
organiser did not want to present the
visitors with the pyrotechnic spectacle to
the accompaniment of thunder and lightning
and in pouring rain.

This year, the Paderborn
Maspernplatz once again transformed
in a colourful ‘fair mile’
from Easter Saturday 19 th April to
27 th April.
The fairground is adjacent to the
city centre and directly opposite a
large car park that is also used by
fair visitors. This year, parking
there turned out to be quite difficult,
however. On Easter Saturday,
the city authorities held the long
Easter race for which parts of the
city centre and the city centre ring
were closed to road traffic. As start
and finish were in the direct
vicinity of the fairground, most of
the car parks were occupied by the
cars of the participants in the
Easter race.
This year, a ride première was celebrated at the Lunapark,
where the local showman Bethel Thelen presented
his new “Jekyll & Hyde” Propeller for the first
time. The Lunapark on the Maspernplatz was once
again laid out in a classic circuit course with a cross
row and Klünder’s “Katz & Maus” built up in the
entrance area in close proximity to the Propeller. Other
rides presented were the “Breakdance” (Dreher-Vespermann),
Musikexpress (Schneider/ Krause), the
dodgem track from Petter and Gerste’s recently
purchased “Hot Fly” Miami. Moreover, the “Paderborner
Pferdekarussell”, now making its rounds under
the management of the Noack family, provided a
nostalgic flair, and the Funhouse sector was represented
by Hartmann’s “Time Factory” and Eisenhauer’s
“Hippie Trip”. On Wednesday visitors were
enticed by a three-hour Happy Hour event, when it was
“pay once - ride twice” from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., and on
Friday evening a fantastic fireworks display illuminated
the Paderborn skies.

Mölter’s “Extrem” was built
up as a replacement ride –
and was a big success
The “Musik Palast” from
Jacob in Erfurt
As part of the Erfurt Altstadtfrühling
marking the
beginning of the open-air
season on the Domplatz of
the capital city of Thuringia,
the traditional Frühlingsvolksfest
was held
from 5 th to 21 st April.
More than 50 showmen built
up their attractions at the
start of the new season. On
a front of almost 700 metres
the event with rides and
concession stalls in a spring
décor once again provided
a special flair in front of the
setting of the cathedral and
Severiekirche church. This year, the organiser, the
Sachgebiet Märkte und Stadtfest der Kulturdirektion,
received more than 300 applications
from which more than 50 attractions were chosen
for the event. New for Erfurt were the “Magic” from
Meyer & Sohn, the brand new Walkthrough construction
“Chaos Airport” (Haberkorn) and the
“Super Tower” (Mölter). Rides presented were
Hahnemann’s Ghost ride, the “Musik Palast”
(Jacob), the “Street Style” (Mölter), the “Die goldenen
50er” Switchback (Stoll), the “High
Explosive” coaster (Vorlop), the dodgem track
from Krebs, and Kirchner’s “Flying Circus”. Contracted
as top attraction was the “Mach 5” Booster
(de Vries-Harms) which, effectively placed in front
of the cathedral steps, was to plunge its passengers
head first into the fun from a height of 55
metres. This did not happen though, due to
missing test certificates at the TÜV inspection. As
the missing documents could not be obtained at
short notice, the major ride had to be dismantled
from Tuesday during the first opening week. The
“Extrem” propeller (Mölter) stepped in as a
replacement at short notice, was built up on
Friday morning, approved by the municipal Office
for Public Construction, and whirled its first
passengers through the air punctually at 2 p.m.
The Propeller quickly turned out to be a fullyfledged
replacement ride. Long queues formed in
front of the paybox throughout the event, and on
peak days the ride was virtually besieged. The
younger visitors were able to enjoy the “Super-8-
Schleife” (Malfertheiner), the “Piraten-Rutsche”
(Schultze & Söhne), Stoll’s kiddie carousel, a Jet
Ride (Bang), the “Märchenbahn” (Kirchner) and a
Galloper (Volklandt). They were joined by
numerous snack and beverage booths, sweets
and ice cream booths, Continental pick stands,
and further games of chance and skill. The occupation
of the fairground was appealing and
(apart from the required emergency routes) without
any gaps. On Friday 4 th April at 6.30 p.m. an
ecumenical showman church service was held at
the dodgem track, accompanied by the “Heavens
Garden” gospel choir. On Saturday at 3 p.m. the
event was opened by Mayor Andreas Bausewein
at the market entrance. The market was open
daily from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. – apart from Saturdays,
Sundays and public holidays, when the
rides made their rounds as early as 11 a.m. On
Good Friday the fair remained closed. And
Wednesdays were the designated family days
50

with reduced prices at all ride attractions. At
Easter, the Easter bunny appeared on Domplatz
to distribute 1,000 surprises to the children, and
from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. the “Hoppelband” played
lively Dixieland rhythms. Despite a colourful
mixture of thrill and fun, as well as an extensive
campaign advertising the event, overall visitor
attendance was low due to poor weather. After a
rather modest start, the event did not really gain
momentum at Easter. While a couple of participating
showmen were quite satisfied with their
results, others left greatly disappointed. ■

RECKLINGHAUSEN
Text & Photo:
Michael Petersen
It was a fantastic Palmkirmes (4 th to 13 th April)
with many novelties, a successful première, very
good visitor attendance and adequate results for
the participating showmen.
The advertising campaign was almost completely
focussed on the première of the new 80 metre Freefall
Tower from the Andreas Zinnecker family. Even
the posters showed a Freefall Tower. That was quite
a risk, as there are often delays in delivery with
novelty attractions. At no point in time, communication
between the organiser and the Zinnecker
family left any doubt that the Freefall Tower
première would take place in Recklinghausen.
Poster advertising was particularly noticeable as
there was no competition with a circus this year. The
Palmkirmes does not only thrive on local fair visitors,
but about 1 million guests are also enticed from
throughout the entire Ruhr region. Advertising on the
internet is of steadily increasing importance. An upto-date
website and being present on social networks
seems to be indispensable these days.
Interestingly, photos were already posted showing
the departure of the Freefall Tower transports in
Austria. Already in the early morning hours on the
Sunday prior to the opening, a number of fair fans
arrived in Recklinghausen, impatiently waiting for
the arrival of the vehicles. In the end, the arrival and
the build-up of the tower evolved into a real event
the Zinnecker family would rather have done without.
When the vehicles had been positioned on the
originally allocated site, there was a surprising
change of location. At the last second, the fairground
director had learnt that the ground had not
been sufficiently compacted after sewer system
works. As a result, it was not possible to build up the
tower at the allocated site. That's the reason the
tower had to be built up on the circuit course in the
immediate vicinity of the Ferris Wheel.
The layout of the fairground was compelling this year.
The oversized security thoroughfares criticised last
year were considerable narrowed. Only the southern
entrance made an uninviting impression. True, the
Wave-Swinger had been moved further to the
entrance area, but the entrance was still too wide,
thus providing a look behind the scenes.
Also interesting was the close proximity of the
“Voodoo-Jumper” and the “Shake & Roll”. Placing
the once again approved Galloper at the fork between
the “Spuk” Ghost Ride and the “Breakdance”
proved very effective. The few top-end sites were
perfectly occupied and the uninviting gaps between
the attractions had almost disappeared. More
changes were not possible as fire and construction
rules had to be met. Security comes before visual
appearance. Nevertheless an almost perfect
solution was found due to negotiations and on-site
inspections. As is now tradition, the Palmkirmes was
opened at the “Dorfwirt” Bruno Dreßen's establishment.
Just as has been the case in the last few
years, business was rather slow on Friday afternoon,
gaining momentum only in the evening hours
before the opening fireworks display. In ideal
weather, results were good to very good on the
weekends, they were rather modest on the family
day much to the showmen’s surprise, and the
remaining weekdays were tolerable with regard to
revenue. All in all, coming to Recklinghausen has
once again proven worthwhile for almost all the
showmen. It was fun to visit the newly laid out Palmkirmes
and to experience the many new features.
The Palmkirmes will not be able to maintain a high
standard of novelties, though. However, this is not
necessary; two or three novelties and a couple of
relocations is enough.

The Frühlingsfest on
the central fairground

The Berlin Frühlingsfest held by the Showman
Association on the central fairground on Kurt-
Schuhmacher-Damm from 28 th March (until 21 st
April) was prominently occupied.
In addition to the “Wilde Maus”, “Juwel” Ferris Wheel,
“Eclipse”, “Melodie Star”, “Jet Force”, “Breakdance”,
“Tanz der Vampire”, “Labyrinth” and the dodgem track,
providing fun for teenagers and adults, there were also
a number of attractions for the younger visitors in
addition to an ample selection of games booths,
Continental pick stands and gastronomic operations.
With the ball gun (Andre Welte), concession stall
(Sipkema), arcade machine (Müller) and the “Beverly
Hills” Pusher (Barthel), as many as four operations
were inaugurated at the Spring Festival. The “Zirkus
des Horrors” also built up on the fairground attracted
additional visitors to the Volksfest (especially on weekdays),
just as did the three flea markets held on the
Sundays. The weekends and the kiddie days were very
well attended and resulted in most of the some 60
showmen being well satisfied with their good to very
good financial results.

DEGGENDORF
A LOOK BACK

SAARLOUIS
Railway station Deggendorf, a sunny
Saturday in the late afternoon. The train
from Zweisel arrives, hopelessly overfilled.
Get in there? No problems, everybody
is getting out in good humour and
dressed in Lederhosen or Dirndls,
wandering towards the 64 th VdK-Frühlingsfest
on the festival grounds.
This was the start of the first weekend of the
of the 11-day event at the beginning of April.
The large festival tent from Widmann and the
Weißbier tent had to be closed in the evening
due to overcrowding. However this promising
start to the season didn't continue. There
were quiet week days, a disappointing
Family Day and an average finale due to the
Deggendorf Frühlingsfest, always taking
place around Labour Day on the 1 st May,
being put forward due to the opening of the
State Horticultural Show.
The Ferris Wheel "Orion 2" from Drliczek was
chosen as the large attraction for the event,
having made its première here 20 years ago.
Further attractions were the "Top Spin 2"
(Kollmann), Autoskooter Miami "Super
Gaudi" (Sonntag), "Star Dancer" (Störzer),
chain ride (Thalkofer und Söhne), Schunkler
"Bavaria Dance" (Thalkofer), as well as the Twister
"Hawaii-Swing" (Neigert). The previously announced
sensation on the list which was to celebrate its prepremière,
Störzer's ride novelty "Black Out", didn't
happen, much to the disappointment of the owner. He
actually had wanted to correct any possible teething
problems beforehand, and then proceed well prepared
from Deggendorf on his première tour. Alex
Zinnecker stepped in with his Swing "Street Fighter".
Werner Siller (78) is 2 nd Chairman of the VdK Deggendorf,
and has been organiser for many years. Parallel,
he also looks after the Homepage of the association
drumming up business, and he also makes regular
appearances at the VdK raffle ticket booth. Preparations
for next year are already underway and he has
also conceived a consumer exhibition without an
entrance fee. His word and his experience carry a lot
of weight. In short – he's a bundle of energy living for
"his" event, is an idealist and an excellent candidate
for an official tribute at a state or federal level. The VdKlocal
committee of Deggendorf has no competition in
Bavaria with around 3,600 members; on a national
level the largest social community has 1.7 million
members. The VdK-Frühlingsfest of today came into
existence due to a small garden and grill party. It has
developed well, and these days, has around 50 show-

man operators. The festival area "Ackerloh" serves as
a parking area for the large Horticultural Show on the
Danube. 700,000 visitors from Bavaria as well as
neighbouring countries such as Austria and the Czech
Republic are expected. And a Ferris Wheel is also
present there. Some bad news: the Deggendorf Volksfest
in summer will not take place due to the Horticultural
Show. Apparently there is no replacement area
and the show gastronomy should – according to the
municipality decision – have no competitor. The new
"Deggendorf Donaufest" is to begin in 2015 for which
operators are requested to supply clearly defined
attractions such as for example a wooden Ferris
Wheel, fairytale carousel, or a steam railway. ■

The Ostermarkt was celebrated
in Saarlouis this year
from the 4 th to 8 th April.
The Dietz family presented its
brand new 4-level Walkthrough
"Rio", and celebrated
a successful première. Further
debutants were the family
coaster "Doggy Dog" (M.
Zinnecker) and the "Sky
Glider" from Hauck-Renz. Present
once again were the
"Magic" (Spangenberger) and
"Chaos" (F. Spangenberger).
Visitors were able to enjoy a
view over the festival area on
the Ferris Wheel "Alte Liebe"
(Schneider). A dodgem track
and the Matterhorn "Taiga Jet"
(Schneider) rounded off the
offers on large ride constructions.
One of the highlights
was once again the
kiddie and family day on the 8 th
April with reduced prices on all
ride attractions, drawing visitors.
On the 7 th and 8 th April
there was also a market place
set out around the festival area
with around 120 marketers in
attendance.

President Albert Ritter
“The destruction of the Volksfests means an employment ban for the showmen“
Commentary from ESU-President Albert Ritter regarding safeguarding of the
European fairground culture
Countless traditional Volksfests in Europe
stand shortly before destruction. The latest example
is the “Sinksenfoor“ in Antwerp. Following
legal action by real estate investors the
traditional fair has been driven out of the inner
city and will be held on a railway property far
away from the city-centre statting in 2015. The
Belgian showmen demonstrated at the end of
March 2014 in Antwerp for the retention of the
„Sinksenfoor“.
A comment from ESU President Albert Ritter
(photo) regarding the safeguarding of the
traditional fairground culture in Europe.
“Volksfests have been a permanently established
part of European culture for centuries. They speak
through their multi-dimensional offers for almost
all segments of the population. A strong emotionality
is connected to the leisure time Volksfests.
With all due right, European politicians speak of
the Volksfests as a “traditional cultural possession“,
which should be protected. They praise the economic
strength of the events and applaud the engagement
of the showman. Action however
should suit the words. Those who feel committed
to the care of tradition, customs and European cultural
sentiment should not allow – as the example
of “Sinksenfoor“ in Antwerp shows – the economical
ambitions of a few real estate speculators
to be over and above the interests of hundreds of
thousands of fairground fans.
The European Showman Union is one of the oldest
European professional organisations. It has fought
for 60 years for the future of the Volksfests and the
interests of the showman. We will not allow the
traditional festivals to simply disappear from the
map. And this is not just all about the securing of
fun and amusement for the citizens, but also
about the retention of workplaces in thousands of
small and middle sized companies. We showmen
depend on functioning festivals in order to live. We
can't simply change to another profession when
the fairground is in a state of collapse.
Great emphasis is put on keeping old traditions
alive in Europe. The showmen are the ones who
keep the tradition of the Volksfests and Christmas
markets alive – and they also finance them. There
is hardly a fair or Christmas market where showmen
don't have to pay their fees to operate. That
means that all the costs that come about through
a Volksfest are not paid out from a culture pot or
budget, but funded by the showmen down to the
last cent. Showmen don't want a subvention, however
the framework conditions have to be right.
The displacement or relocation of the Volksfests in
Europe means an employment ban for the showmen
at the same time.
We showmen will continue to fight and put up
resistance for the retention of the traditional European
Volksfest culture. And the fact that this resistance
is worth it is shown by a current example in
Germany. In Jena recently, the development of the
festival area has been stopped after two-thirds of
the locals voted against the steps in a survey. The
public relation works of the German Showman
Association in cooperation with both of the Thuringia
showman associations played a significant
role in this happy development.
In a strong association such as the European
Showman Union we showmen can successfully
resist against the destruction of the Volksfests.
“Unity gives strength!“

In response to an invitation from the European
Show-woman Union (ESFU) show-women from
Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, England,
Sweden and Finland met up in Paris on the 7 th
and 8 th of March 2014. A colourful programme
had been prepared for the “Rendezvous in
Paris“ which thrilled participants.
The highlight of the two-day meeting in the
French capital was a visit to the showman museum
“Musée des Arts Forains”. The world famous
collection that belongs to the owner of the des
Pavillons de Bercy, Jean Pauls Favand, harbours a
unique choice of fairground attractions such as the
historic carousel, concert organs, and rides. Director
Jeans Paul Favand personally showed the
guests through exhibition rooms after a heartfelt
welcome. The unique exhibition made the hearts
of the show-women beat a little faster. Additionally
Jean Pauls Favand had many anecdotes and
stories to tell about the exhibits.
After refreshments of champagne and canapés
the guests enjoyed an exclusive tour through the
warehouse of the museum – which is a museum
in itself – where under normal circumstances visitors
are not allowed entry. Whether a comfortable
togetherness in the Café Barjot in Quatier Bastille,
a private boat ride on the Seine, a wine tasting with
fine wines and champagnes, or a visit to the Eiffel
Tower and the artist quarter in Montmartre... the
women's day in Paris left nothing to be desired and
gave participants enough opportunity to have
talks within a colleague's circle.

COASTER
A ride on Liseberg's
new Looping Coaster
promises very intensive
airtime in parts
When the layout was first
introduced almost two years
ago for the first time, one could
already surmise that it would
be an ambitious project. However
that what went into operation
in April 2014 exceeded
even the highest expectations:
"Helix" is currently and most
probably the best “classical”
looping coaster in Europe and
catapults – in every sense of
the word – both the operator
and manufacturer into new
spheres!

Helix
Since time immemorial, with his attractions
Liseberg has understood the art of how to be
noticed. Directly at the gates to the city, the in
1923 established amusement park is an ultra
large and unusual salutation to all Göteborg visitors
and those returning home. This has been so
for many decades, even if the appearance of the
park repeatedly changed over the years. However
there has never before been such a lasting
and decisive change as this year! And all simply
because the reserved looking green-coloured
new looping attraction is highly visible due to its
immense size from the autobahn facing the
mountain, having an elongation of around 300
metres, and with that utilizing almost complete
Liseberg, the nearly 40 metres high hill after which
the theme park was named.
When entering the park entrance, visitors don't
notice anything initially – not acoustically and not
optically. The over 1,300 metres long "Helix" with
a height difference of more than 50 metres is hidden
behind the trees and adapts to the park's
topography.
60

And one can hardly hear the trains anyway, and
maybe "Helix" is even the quietest large coaster
in the world. But still waters run deep ... or in this
case, surprisingly different.
It's quite logical that the manufacturer is naturally
excited by his own product. Anyway, for Roland
Mack a ride on "Helix" on the eve of the official
park opening, it was definitely something very
special: "It was my first roller coaster ride after my
accident last year when I broke 12 ribs. As a precaution
I went to the doctor this morning, but
everything is alright. That speaks for itself
doesn't it?" he said, before taking part in the first
official coaster ride on the morning of the 26 th April
2014. And in actual fact it does speak for itself,
because despite the many inversions and track
layout that doesn't allow for any breathing space,
a ride on the "Helix" is a first class riding delight.

A Complex Track Layout
To write down an exact ride description on paper
is hardly possible due to the complexity of the
experience, and wouldn't do justice to real riding.
However we've made an effort just the same,
which began initially in our attempting to overcome
32 metres of height, which lies between the
entrance arch of the park and the station area.
This is possible either on foot or on a moving staircase.
We decided on the last possibility as did
most of the other park guests. Arriving at the top
are not only the waiting area for the 116 metres
tall Intamin Freefall Tower "Atmosfear" but also
that for "Helix". This appeared to be just as long
as the coaster itself and meandered and wound
through a cement-steel ensemble, which reminds
one of the very simply designed but still very
architecturally appealing buildings from star
architect Tadao Ando.
Arriving at the station area we could choose –
unfortunately a rarity these days – where we wanted
to sit, although the pull-down lap bars offer
maximum freedom in all rows. Additionally they
are slightly heightened so that even the more taller
passengers can experience the upcoming ride
with freely hanging legs. Additionally, the socalled
"Stadium Seats" are used with a higher
seating row in each car, in order to ensure an
optimal view from all seats.
62

And finally we take off, but what sort of surprisingly
intensive ride start is this? The 20-seat train
rolls directly into the steep 10.5 metres deep first
drop, which already supplies a terrific airtime particularly
on the back rows! There's no time to wonder
as the first inversion follows that is a type of a
somewhat slowly travelling corkscrew containing
a small hang time. A long drawn out 180° curve
to the left leads us directly to the first approximately
50 metres long acceleration course. At
high speed we enter an unusually large
corkscrew – the second highest elevation on the
ride. Following a curve and a continually intensive
reversal turn, after another curve we enter the significant
pretzel element directly, which actually is
an elongated Norwegian Loop, in other words an
Inclined Loop and subsequent Immelmann. However,
because it travels and looks like a pretzel,
this 27.5 metres high ride figure is also called that
officially by the park. And the entrance into this
ride figure is strictly speaking only a near-inversion.
That really doesn't make any difference to
the ride fun naturally, because it really does feel
like a real inversion. A further genuine inversion
on the other hand is the exit from the pretzel. And
no less spectacular, the ride continues along with
an intensive airtime hill followed by a Zero-g-Roll
or alternatively also known also as a Revolution
figure that stands us on our heads with only very
low contact pressure. A "Stengel-Dive", a strongly
inclined airtime-sequence to the side, leads into
the 360° helix, to which the coaster owes its name.
Hardly had the train reduced its speed a little, the
second launch waited behind a sharp 180° turnabout.
On the 70 metres long and 10° ascending
course we were once again catapulted at maximum
speed only to stand on our heads immediately
in the lofty heights in an Inverted Top Hat.
Following this highest point of the attraction we
climbed a second airtime hill, which can almost
be described as a monster-hump as we drop 25
metres into the depths with very intensive weightlessness.
Following a long drawn out ascending
180° curve, a nice S-curve-sequence comes
about, and another turnabout on the Liseberg
plateau leads us back to the station – but not without
an inversion for the last time, provided by a
long drawn out Heartline-Roll with an appropriately
long hang time, which is typical of
Europa-Park's "blue fire" coaster and others of this
ride series.
A Unique Ride Experience
What an experience! Almost one and half minutes
of ride time without a pause. An endless stringing
together of different ride figures completely without
the noticeable and often disturbing trim

brakes – that's not found anywhere else! In actual
fact, both launch sections also serve as block
brakes and make the simultaneous three train operation
possible. The consistent high speed, and
not a second of boredom despite the length and
the fast succession of the various elements correspond
to the spirit of the times, as for example
also reflected in the always faster and faster film
cuts. If anything, then the continuous slight vibrations
– more in the front as the back – is noticeable
but not disturbing. But one must keep a
watch for changes during the years of operation.
“Helix” Maximizes the Topography
However there's hardly another coaster in the
world that could use the available topography
better. "Helix" almost playfully exposes the sloping
grounds, and that's the way it should always
be, and the reason why "Helix" may well serve as
a model for All-Terrain-Coasters. And so "Helix"
follows in the footsteps of the 1987 from
Zierer/BHS erected "Lisebergbanan", which with
its 1,340 metres track course has a height difference
of 45 metres.
64

And with all this, the relatively tranquil Liseberg
Park leads the way for the second time, in front of
other world known and occasionally financially
stronger parks, and shows how to deal best with
available local characteristics, in order to achieve
an individual and world class attraction. One
could think for example of Six Flag Magic Mountain
also “named” after its local mountain, where
unfortunately only very few new rides reflect a reaction
to the local topography. In Göteborg however
it was all done correctly and the visitor numbers
will without a doubt confirm this fact impressively.
And one can only hope that more parks are
brave enough to recognise their own strength in
order to produce a unique ride experience.
idea was scrapped in September 2011 and the
project restarted. Our new guidelines were a long
course with one or two built in launch sequences,
and for reasons of noise we wanted the main part
of the construction to be erected on the eastern
slope of the Liseberg Mountain, facing away from
our neighbours. Only few highlights of the ride
were to tower over the mountain, and the natural
height difference of the mountain was to be used
to maximum extent. And the new station area was
to erect on the site that was occupied of the
earlier 3D-cinema.
The two coasters that
have a lot in common meet up at
a number of points: the "Lisebergbanan"
(built 1987) and the
new "Helix"
Interview with Andreas Andersen
For many years you were Vice President
of the Copenhagen Tivoli and one of the driving
forces behind the erection of their huge
Floorless-Coaster from B&M. When you stepped
in as the new Park Manager at Liseberg in
Sweden in early 2011, was it already evident
that the first thing you wanted to do here was
to also realize a large coaster project?
Not directly, as my predecessor Mats Wedin
had already pushed for the development of a new
mega-coaster. Originally it was to be an 84
metres high Hyper Coaster from Mack Rides,
however due to the expected noise pollution for
residents and the less aesthetic overall effect, the

honour wall board
As Liseberg is open until
late in the evening during the
main season (frequently until
11 p.m.), an attractive
illumination is very important
You are an experienced Park Manager but
also a real coaster fan. What was more important
for you: a coaster from Mack Rides or
the cooperation with Werner Stengel?
One has nothing to do with the other. Following
a visit to Europa-Park it was definite quite early
that we wanted a coaster similar to “blue fire”.
However our project very quickly reached dimensions
that would have been very difficult to
realize without Stengel’s participation, as it’s a fact
that Stengel is a guarantee for first class riding
pleasure. The first sketches were developed by
Mack’s engineer Dennis Gordt, and Mack was
bringing the Stengel offices on board early
enough in order to implement such a challenging
and complicated track course in the best possible
way.
When first layouts were released, one could
get the impression that the new coaster had a
lot in common with Intamin’s “Cheetah Hunt”:
two launches, a track near to the ground. inversions,
an out-and-back design. But “Helix”
is however quite different in nature.
We took the best elements from many
coasters, amongst them “blue fire” and “Cheetah
Hunt” in order to build something completely new.
The biggest difference is however that our
coaster looks like a tangle of spaghetti instead of
a more stretched out layout. For this reason we
don’t classify “Helix” as a Launch Coaster, but as
a Looping Coaster with launches. But we didn’t
want to use traditional loops, in fact quite the opposite.
On “Helix” passengers can even experience
airtime in the inversions!
66

Considerably many prominent guests from the branch at the opening among them
naturally also Roland and Michael Mack from Europa-Park, alternatively Mack Rides
With “Kanonen” from Intamin there is an
attractive Launch Coaster at the park. Were
there never thoughts of extending the portfolio
with for example an Inverted Coaster?
Naturally we had considered this; however in
the end we found that our ideas were best realizable
with the chosen seating position. By the way
in the case of “Kanonen” the very intense launch
stands in the foreground and less the relatively
short track course.
steps can be expected next?
Now, a total of around 80,000 m 2 are
available for future expansion. This is
very comfortable for an inner-city park
such as Liseberg. Actually we are thinking
about erecting a hotel or an indoor
water park, or even both. However, we
are in the very early planning stages,
and the project could very well also take
a different direction.
A year ago, Liseberg purchased the neighbouring
50,000 m 2 sized earlier Saab-company
grounds. What attractions or development
Until then we wish you a lot of
success with the terrific “Helix”.
Thank you for the interview. ■

Extreme drops and
extreme acceleration are
the benchmark data of the
new coaster at Holiday Park
Who would have expected it?
Recently, Holiday Park, now
under Plopsa management, had
heavily invested in the family
public with "Majaland" and
"Anno Tobak" being redesigned
into "Tabalugas Abenteuer",
clearly showing the direction
the park was going. But a new
coaster was then announced
that is anything else than a
harmless family coaster!

Sky Scream
Absolutely nobody expected something like "Sky
Scream", and evil tongues even maintained that
Holiday Park had erected an attraction that passes
by complete target groups. This is naturally complete
nonsense as in a park where attractions such
as "Expedition GeForce" stand and waiting times
are way over the 60-minute-mark at times, it very
much appears that "thrill" continues to have its fans,
regardless of how colourful, happy and family
amusing "Majaland" may be.
"Sky Scream" extends the ride portfolio of the
park in the Palatinate excellently. Although
somewhat lower than Intamin's "Expedition
GeForce" (Built 2011), it travels upside down
– and that at its highest point of almost 46
metres. The attraction is located at the back end of
the park on the earlier location of "Super Wirbel",
Germany's first inversion coaster in a park (built
1979), which unfortunately had to make way in
2013. "Sky Scream" is now the core of a new area
that is devoted to the world of the undead and vampires.
Very soon everything will look just as creepy
here as on the sketches and model, complete with
"Fear Snack", bakery, shop and further infrastructure,
all very necessary in the otherwise – and sorry
68

for the wordplay – lifeless part of the park. There's
been very little done in the area around the new
coaster for the family public, but they have already
been well served in the past years. Over 25 million
Euro has been invested in the park since the
takeover by the Plopsa-Group in 2010, the lion's
share going towards beautifying the park, and new
family attractions.
The decision for "Sky Screamer" was relatively sudden
during the IAAPA exhibition last year in November.
"As we heard the condition that the attraction
had to be operational within five months, well,
we saw that as a challenge. And it was pretty close"
admitted Jim Seay from the American manufacturer
Premier Rides. The relatively mild winter was a
little helpful in being able to introduce the new ride
to the press a few days prior to the season's start.
time, so that the complete track course can be absolved
forwards. The roll is travelled through at a
height of 45.7 metres – a manoeuvre that reminds
one a little on the roll in the lofty heights on the "Sky
Wheel" attraction from Maurer Söhne – as does the
whole ride actually if there were not the differences
of the LSM-launch and the extended course. The
train then travels towards the abyss but is slowed
down by the electromagnetic brakes – in order to
proceed slowly, actually provokingly slowly to tip
vertically. And it's here that the floodgates really
open: the vehicle group drops vertically into the
depths rotating simultaneously on the longitudinal
axis and accelerating within two seconds to a good
80 kilometres per hour speed – ride guests hang

Not for Weak Nerves
A ride on the "Sky Scream" is something else. The
second installation of the ride type following "Superman
– Ultimate Flight" at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
is really nothing for those with weak nerves.
The 12-seat car group is launched three times, first
forwards, then backwards, then forwards again.
The first forward launch is quite placid and therefore
the train just makes the climb on first quadrant
arc. Then the car rolls backwards... and all hell
breaks loose! The reverse launch really pulls the
socks off when the train is accelerated to reach
almost the peak of the non-inverting-loop.
The ride continues downwards and with a lot of pep.

This is the overall view of
the still non-themed coaster

somewhat helplessly in their lap bars and are jolly
happy that there are any at all. Massive negative g-
forces are followed directly by intensely positive
forces when the ride continues upwards and into
the twist in the non-inverting loop, before the train
makes its final dive and descends into the station.
The station is then travelled through by the train
completely and climbs the first quadrant arc once
again before it rolls in reverse and is braked, coming
to a halt at the loading position. Wow!
One can justifiably claim that there is no other
coaster that offers such a thrill on such a small
ground area. Even the well-versed coaster-addicted
confirms the intensity of "Sky Scream". This attraction
is definitely only for the very, very hardened
who are really into thrill moments in maximally concentrated
form.
The decoration on the day of opening didn't go past
a temporary solution, but is understandably due to
the short time span between ordering and comple-

tion. Steve van den Kerkhof: "We are confident that
everything will look just as on the sketches and
model by the end of June at the latest". Until then
"Sky Screamer" more for thrill-purists, will serve its
guests excellently. The capacity of a good 430
passengers per hour can also be seen as very acceptable
for a construction of this type.
Sum up: Holiday Park has extended its offer for its
target group excellently with "Sky Scream". The
construction ranks in the top class of European thrill
machines, and will give real pleasure to whiteknuckle-fans.
With "Expedition GeForce", "Sky
Scream" and the "Free Fall Tower", Holiday Park
offers enough reason to travel again to Hassloch
not only for the family public, but also young
adrenalin junkies.

An almost structurally identical coaster of this
type is to also open in a Latin-American theme
park.
The Mexican park which has a main sponsor that
can be unequivocally identified is located near
the city of Monterrey. The park will be celebrating
its 20-year anniversary in the upcoming spring,
and to celebrate the occasion will be installing a
new 20,000 m_ sized theme area. The main attraction
will be the almost 50 metres high coaster
from Premier Rides, which – similar to Holiday
Park – will have a demonic theme and will be
named appropriately the "Zombie Coaster".
Whilst the track course will be identical to the
German "Sky Scream" and the North American
"Superman Ultimate Flight", for the first time, the
Mexican coaster will contain a double station with
switch function, in order to attain a higher
capacity.

ows are on a slightly higher level, this ensures a
good view in all positions. The seats look very highquality
and are also very comfortable. Safety is provided
by lap bars: one for each row which, as on
typical cable railways in skiing areas, affords maximum
freedom of movement for passengers.
When all the riders are safely secured, the gondola
begins moving and offers a beautiful view of the
"Cobra" and other surrounding attractions. Approximately
halfway through, the ride passes inside a
giant tree and continues on its way, stopping above
the main entrance. Due to the sudden stop, the
gondola swings back and forth a couple of times,
and then begins to move backwards. Once inside
the tree, it stops giving the feeling that something
is not quite right. At this point, the all around speakers
produce a loud sound similar to thunder, and
the doors of the tree close, leaving the riders in total
darkness.
The idea of being stuck in a thunderstorm is created
by fans producing wind and mist and by the
lateral swinging of the vehicle. Soon, weather conditions
get worse and the number of effects increase,
including heavy shaking as well as sparks
falling down the walls. In the end, according to the
storyline, the cables snap and the ropeway vehicle
falls to the ground with a final explosion and real
flames.
In reality, the ride remains well secured inside the
giant tree and the end of the storm is marked by the
reopening of the doors and a voice yodelling, which
is the traditional Swiss way of communication
around mountain regions. Then the attraction slowly
goes back to the station.
The total ride time is approximately three and a half
minutes. At the time of copy deadline, "Mammut
Tree" was still in its test phase. After completion and
before the official opening, the park has advised
that more effects such as fog and lightning would
be added.
All in all "Mammut Tree" is a lovely and very interesting
new ride concept, and without a doubt future
constructions will be even more perfect and
equipped with further effects. Despite the minimal
theming, the giant tree is very well made and
thoroughly realistic looking. The special effects can
be quite surprising, especially as the inside of the
tree is well insulated from the outside, making it
hard for riding guests to predict what is going to
happen. For a park like Conny-Land the "Mammut
Tree" is a new attraction which will be enjoyed by a
wide range of guests, bringing this small park in the
spotlight for many amusement park enthusiasts.

Interview with Roby Gasser
Mammut Tree is the new ride at Conny Land.
It is a really innovative ride concept; can you tell
us how this idea was developed?
The original idea for the ride came directly from
Swiss Rides and in their very first concept thoughts
were of a recreation of the Matterhorn. Unfortunately,
this was way out of proportion for a park the size
of Conny-Land so we had to come up with a different
concept, and this is how the idea of the giant
tree came to life.
Let's talk for a moment about the construction
of Mammut Tree; what were the biggest
challenges you had to face?
As usual, when building a ride during the winter,
the biggest problem is to secure everything
against adverse weather conditions. This meant
that while building the tree, there had to be scaffoldings
all around it to protect it. Luckily, last winter
was better than others in the past, and with very
little of snow the work was carried out right on
schedule.
At the moment Mammut Tree is still undergoing
a testing phase; has an opening date been
decided yet?
No, at the moment we still have not set an official
opening date for the ride. But as everything is
functioning without a problem and only minor adjustments
need to be made, everything will be completed
soon.
What kind of adjustments will be made?
The sequence inside the tree will be extended
and more effects will be added. There will probably
be smoke screen projections. Due to the presence
of fire and sparks flying along the walls it is not possible
to install video screens so smoke screens will
be the only possibility to show images.
Will there be more theming around the ride?
Yes, we will add some theme to the station and
around the turn-station in the parking lot.
Thank you for the interview and we wish you
a successful 2014 season.

KIDDIE RIDE
A good coaster doesn't
apparently have to be large
for children to like it – even
the smallest coaster in the
world has managed it
A very special type of world
novelty has been present in
Germany since 2014 – and that
four times simultaneously: the
smallest coaster in the world!
The prototype of this “world
record attraction” opened in
the East German Erlebnispark
Belantis.
Text:
Frank Lanfer
Photos: Frank Lanfer, Belantis
Huracanito
The construction is a small roller coaster that has
been adapted to the special requirements of
small children. Its height of just about two metres
is hardly higher than an adult, however for the little
ones the attractive construction appears to be
quite spectacular! One can see it in the eyes of
the kiddies when they give a twitch of joy with the
first view of "their" coaster.
Additionally they experience their first and own
coaster ride without the company of their parents
on the "Huracanito"! This is an exciting experience
that isn't so quickly forgotten and can be told to
friends in kindergarten. It's rather a pity then that
there is no Onride-Video for sale, despite the
shortness of the ride. Which parent wouldn't like
to have a professional video of their offspring on
the first coaster ride in life?
The little brother of what was opened in
2010, the 32 metres high "Euro-Fighter"
looping attraction that also came from
Gerstlauer, is the main component of the
new kiddie area that includes playground
and electric autobahn. Park Manager Erwin Linnenbach:
"We wanted an active waiting area whilst
papa is riding with the older siblings on the
"Huracan".
The coaster with the simple oval track course
looks just as colourful and also has a similar name
to the larger "Huracan" next door! A ride begins
with the 30° steep chain lift. The 180° curve in the
more or less "lofty" height travels into the first drop.
With a top speed of 15 kilometres per hour, the
nicely designed cars travel towards the ground –
a real thrill for daring kids. However that's not all:
there is even a connecting and small airtime hill,
before the second 180° curve leads passengers
in the direction of the station. And if there's not a
long waiting queue then the operator can even
initiate a second round.

Adults however are (unfortunately) deprived of a
ride on the smallest roller coaster in the world, as
the one metre long and 60 centimetres wide
soapbox designed cars have only enough room
for one person with a maximum weight of 40 kilos.
Only children between three and eight years of
age, or alternatively with a height between 90 and
120 centimetres are allowed to partake.
Due to the really quite slow passenger changeover
with small children at the loading and disembarking
area, the maximum capacity per hour
is 60 passengers.
Nevertheless the "Kiddy Racer" appears to be
developing into a sales hit: introduced for the first
time a year ago on the Gerstlauer company
grounds, a further three structurally identical constructions
have gone into operation this year: The
Erlebnispark Steinau, Trampolino Andernach, and
the Jaderpark each purchased a "Kiddy Racer" –
all of them in comparison to the prototype at
Belantis – are self-operational. An accompanying
adult must secure the individually adjustable
restraint, close the station door, and press two
buttons simultaneously in order to start the chain
lift. In an emergency the "external operator" can
transport the car from the lift to the station backwards.
This saves personnel costs, which is very
important for small parks in particular, and for
which the "Kiddy Racer" was originally designed.
The necessary ground area for a ride selfoperational
construction (including fencing and
loading platform) is 10.5 by 6.6 metres.
Event Park GmbH is also interested in a further
construction. Erwin Linnenbach: "We would love to
have a transportable version as well, which we
could use for our events that could be transported
on a trailer without much effort, and built up
quickly and simply.”

General Manager of Belantis
Interview with Erwin Linnenbach
The very likable 53-year old family father Erwin Linnenbach
is considered as one of the most influential
personalities in the German private radio
branch. Two years ago, the native-born Saarland
personality ended his radio career in order to commence
something new once again. Since the 1 st
April 2014, he is the Belantis-boss.
Shortly before the new season started, you
took over management of the theme park as
majority shareholder What were the reasons
for this?
I was a shareholder of the Event Park GmbH
& Co. KG right from the beginning, which operated
Belantis, and since a number of years also the
event agency EmiR Entertainment. The only thing
was I wasn't involved actively in operation. But
after I had been in private radio for almost 25
years, I wanted to begin something completely
new; for example I would have gladly been
Manager of FC Barcelona – my childhood dream.
But it all turned out differently?
Yes. As I'm happy in central Germany and see
great potential in the Leipzig Lake District, I took
the opportunity to purchase more shares in
Belantis and became therefore the majority shareholder.
I was significantly involved in the development
of Belantis, so in a way it's always been "my"
park. I am now not only an employee Manager, but
also owner. And I'm very keen about it all. It is a
matter very close to my heart to further develop
Belantis and to lead it into the future.
In the times of private-equity-purchasing,
your personal commitment sounds very agreeable.
What however will the future bring
specifically?
78

KIDDIE RIDE
We have achieved much during the past 12
years, but all took its time. And also everything
around our park took longer than originally
planned, and the renaturalisation and touristic
development of the surrounding landscape
remains incomplete. However we stand before a
very deciding phase: the Leipzig Lake District is
taking shape much more and with that Belantis will
take on a special supra-regional role. Already now
the earlier surface mining area has become a
huge local recreation area. In two years time the
flooding of the large lake, the Zwenkauer See, will
have been completed, which with an area of
almost 1,000 hectares boarders in the immediate
vicinity of our property. What would make more
sense than to develop a complete tourist
destination?
So the erection of a park-own hotel is to be
expected in order to create a multiple-day
resort?
In last October, I would have answered that
we would have our own hotel in two years. However
in the interim it has been confirmed that the
largest holiday resort in the Leipzig Lake District
is to come into being. 1,600 beds alone are
already in planning. This offers a simple cooperation.
Nevertheless I could well imagine that we
could also establish our own overnight accommodation
without going into competition with a
holiday resort.
And which developments will come about
in the actual theme park?
The next step will be the long overdue
ringschluss with a very attractive ride attraction
between the North and the South American theme
worlds. Further along we want to put the original
overall theming into concrete terms, in order to
make the idea of a journey through different countries
a more intense experience.

track course for children
The water only has to rise
3.5 metres to reach the planned
edge of the banks; a huge holiday
resort is planned to be
erected in the immediate nearvicinity

79

An aerial view of Belantis
from 2010
You already mentioned earlier that you
were co-initiator of Belantis. How did that come
about?
Aventura in Spain. This terrific park naturally plays
in another league, but I absolutely wanted to adapt
the theme travel here.
This ancient looking world
map is the Belantis park map
In the radio business, it is necessary to come
into contact with politicians and other important
personalities. When the gigantic 500 hectares
Karl-May-project that was already in the planning
phase had failed, there was a discussion with the
Saxon Prime Minister Prof. Kurt Biedenkopf and
personnel. More by accident than anything, the
subject came up as to why we as a private radio
group and event agency would not use our communication
strength and entertainment competence
for the operation of our own theme park. That
was in 1998.
And you took up the challenge?
Naturally as a radio man I had no idea about
theme parks, even though I'd always been closely
tied to them, having grown up near Holiday Park,
and my favourite park has always been Port-
In the newly formed German States there
wasn't any theme park at that time. Why then
of all places in an industrial wasteland and not
for example near to Berlin?
The search for a location took over a year, and
we are of the opinion that with central Germany we
made the right decision. Here we have the necessary
political and regional support and also
enough space for future expansion. Additionally
we were visionary in our thinking: what would
happen in 10 or 20 years time when the renaturalisation
was completed, an autobahn had been
built, and the lake landscape was taken on by
tourism? In those days there was nothing here except
huge surface mining cavities. Nobody could
imagine that on Europe's largest landscape remediation
site there would one day be an attractive
experience landscape – with a theme park as
a touristic beacon.
Did you consult an architectural office
specialising in theme parks?
The RSH (Radio Schleswig Holstein) also belongs
to our group, and so we had contact to
Hansa-Park. Park Manager Andreas Leicht gave
us a lot of input and a lot of advice and assistance.
Finally we contracted architect Rüdiger Renno to
undertake the feasibility study and the approval
for the reuse of the Brownfield land. Financing was
available in 2001 and already on the 5 th April 2003
we could celebrate the opening.
Thank you for the interview. We wish you a
successful journey with Belantis in the upcoming
decades also.

WATER RIDE
Abundant water battles
occur on all these types of
attractions, new however is
the extension with a somewhat
more tranquil boat ride
PortAventura is being talked
about once again this season,
because everything that the
Spanish park destination near
Barcelona tackles is s size bigger
than anywhere else: following

(2012) and Europe's highest
water slide (2013), in April 2014

boat-water battle in Europe!

Angkor
With a course length of 323 metres the "Angkor:
Adventure in the Lost Kingdom" is by far the
longest construction in the category of "Splash Battles"
and "Boat Battles". The ride duration is a whole
ten minutes along the water canal, which meanders
through the imposing, artificial temple landscape of
Cambodia. General Manager Fernando Aldecoa:
"In the case of most attractions of this type the ride
course runs into a large pool, which at first glance
is completely manageable and where the
occupants can only spray each other at a maximum.
We however wanted an interactive river
attraction."
And those who really want to be soaked will not be
disappointed in "Angkor" either, as following a more
or less placid boat ride through ancient temples
and typical river villages, there's a second part of
the ride: about half of the course comprises of a
strongly winding water canal with five turnabouts.
In this section there is enough cooling down
guaranteed under the Catalonian sun, as in parts
there are very close encounters with other boats as
well as with park onlookers who operate the water
cannons from the shore. Due to the abundant
theme elements that always hide a part of the track
course, these meetings are often very surprising –
and wet.
82

And maybe best of all is that on "Angkor" there are
no limits for the passengers. Ergo: "Here really
everybody can participate, even small children
who are too little for the ride constructions in the
neighbouring Sesame Street area! And with that
"Angkor" is a real family attraction that perfectly
rounds off the park portfolio.
Other novelties this year are a new 4D-film in "Sea
Odysea" and three new shows at the park. Additionally,
the artistic group von Cirque du Soleil will be
making guest appearances in the summer months

will in all probability not be a part of the Port
Aventura-Park, but be operated as a separate

Ferrari has a clause stating that no other European
theme park may erect a Ferrari-relevant area. This
way the Spanish resort secures yet another unique
selling point, which without a doubt will entice an
additional circle of customers. Fernando Aldecoa:
"We are expecting more visitors from Italy,
Germany, the Benelux countries and Scandinavia
in particular. The investment amount in Ferrari-Land
is around 100 million Euro."

Maybe it all comes as it
should: according to
rumours, the businessman
Nick Leslau (see picture), on friendly terms
with Merlin, and whose firm Prestbury Investments
owns a large part of the Merlin land assets,
is to be listed on the stock market.
In 2007 he purchased much of the real estate of the
Merlin-portfolio in a controversial "sale and leaseback"
agreement for 622 million British Pounds, in
order to allow Merlin then to re-lease the properties
(among them for example Alton Towers, Thorpe
Park and Heide-Park). With this step Merlin Entertainments
could prove very good business figures
in a hit, and could also prepare for a successful listing
on the stock exchange, which was realised in
2013 Investor Nick Leslau also apparently wants to
profit from this wave of success. The estimated
value of Prestbury Investments is around 1.5 billion

FREIZEIT-LAND GEISELWIND
Text & Foto: Helmut Bresler
Schierenbeck's travelling construction "Black
Hole" is making a guest appearance at the Franconian
park in Geiselwind this season, which is
located between Nürnberg and Würzburg, directly
on autobahn A3.
During the Berlin Christmas Market, the Managers of
the park, brothers Oliver and Michael
Mensinger, were able to close the deal for
the dark coaster's appearance for one
season. For many years now there is an
exchange area at Geiselwind that is occupied
each year by another construction
– following the "Wilde Maus" and a
large Ghost ride, there is now the "Black
Hole". The attraction built in 1987 by
Zierer was first owned by showman
Ludewigt, but has been managed by
Peggy and Heiko Schierenbeck now for
20 years, who normally travel the 420
metres long track attraction throughout
Europe.
At the end of the Bavarian school holidays
in the middle of September, the 14
metres high dome will be dismantled and
relocated at the Eisleben Wiesenmarkt.
The reason for the five-month engagement
is not due to insufficient bookings
or reduced demand, but the permanently
increasing costs of a classic tour. Freizeit-Land
also profits as it can present a
novelty each year without any investment
costs.
In addition to the "Black Hole" there is also a new film
in the 4D moving cinema. The show programme has
also been newly designed.
The park opened in 1969 as the "Vogel, Pony,
Märchenpark" (Bird, Pony and Fairytale Park); 20
years later the start of ride constructions began with
the rides "Blauer Enzian", "Wikingerschiff" and "Marienkäferbahn".
Many previously touring attractions
have landed here, for example Finnendahl's large
viewing tower "Top of the World", or Roie's Freefall
Tower.
