The Ferris Wheel gondola
in the colours of Borussia
Dortmund at the Volksfest in
Landsberg, Bavaria
Visitors to the Volksfest in Landsberg/
Lech in Bavaria could hardly believe
their eyes. The Ferris Wheel at their
Volksfest featured a “Dortmund”
gondola of all things, on the very day of
the German Cup Finale Borussia Dortmund
vs. Bayern München (17 th May)!
After all, the visitors could not know that
the “Roue Parisienne” Ferris Wheel
(Burghard-Kleuser), making its first
appearance in Lech, hails from Dortmund;
and as a passionate Borussia-fan, the
owner Michael Burghard clearly demonstrated
for all to see which team his heart
went out to at this finale! The match
ended, after 120 minutes full of suspense
including extra time and a goal disallowed
to Dortmund, 2:0 for Bayern München. ■
COLOGNE BACKSTAGE

Rudolf von der
Gathen (GKS e.G.) and Johann
Luxem accompany the
backstage tour in Cologne
which, among other attractions,
also viewed Schäfer’s “Shake”
and Bügler’s “Tal der Könige”
The organiser’s invitation to a
backstage tour at the Cologne
Frühlingsvolksfest for “technophiles”
was very well received.
With more than 70 guests
gathering at the Ferris Wheel
on 29 th April 2014 at 6 p.m., two
groups had to be formed.
Guided by Rudolf von der
Gathen, the organiser of the
Cologne Frühlingsvolksfest and Chairman of the
GKS e.G. and Johann Luxem Vice-Chairman of the
Arbeitsgemeinschaft Schaustellerverbände, the tour
included three attractions; the “Europa” Ferris
Wheel, the “Tal der Könige” Walkthrough construction,
as well as the “Shake & Roll” ride. During
the two-hour tour, many questions were answered,
such as why the Ferris Wheel is illuminated by 46,000
lights or that the “Shake” is hydraulically operated,
whereas everything is operated pneumatically with
light beams inside the “Tal der Könige”. The guests
asked many such questions – first and foremost
about safety. “We meet the highest safety standards;
indeed, every event is inspected by the TÜV,”
explained Rudolf von der Gathen emphasizing that,
“there has never been a serious accident in
Cologne.” As the showmen took the time to address
these queries, there was an increasing number of
questions of a more private nature. For example,
what the life and the work of a showman is like;
where are they touring this season, and; where to the
children go to school while on tour? The showmen
left no questions unanswered, and were rewarded
by a lot of applause and handshaking. Participant
Hermann Kammler from Gummersbach said, “the
tour and the showmen openly talking about school,
travelling, countries and differences in cultures; all
this was very interesting.” Anne and Tobias Barth
from Cologne commented, “The look behind the
scenes was highly interesting. What we liked best
was the personal style of the tour. It was very nice to
get insights in the showmen’s lives. Ms Franke, with
her husband and three children from Hamburg told
us, “We have not seen anything like this before. It
was fantastic to talk to the showmen and listen to
their private gossip.”

BREAKDANCE 3
KALEIDOSCOPE
Text & Photo: Norman Vogt
In December 2013, Mario and Martina Wingender
from Mayen took over the “Breakdance 3” from the
Schneider firm from Bürstadt.
The first venue for the “small” Breakdance was the
Frühlingsfest in Mainz, where the Wingender family
has often also presented its larger Breakdance. In
addition to this example they will also continue to
operate the “Air Crash” propeller. The newly
purchased “Breakdance 3” was built by Huss for the
Keller firm from Aschaffenburg in 1992. From 1998, the
van Elkan firm from Marburg toured the ride for three
years, before it was sold to Schneider in 2002. As is
the case with the “standard size” this version also
accommodates 32 passengers in 16 gondolas. A
baggage van serves also as backflash.

CORN IN CUP
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
Corn for sure, but completely different! Tino
Röhrig from Hamm does not sell corn on the
cob, but only delicious corn kernels at his new
speciality operation.
According to customer
request, the
corn kernels are
prepared in different
flavours; seasoned
with butter
or herb butter, or
with pepper and
salt, garlic, chilli,
paprika; or – as a
sweet contrivance
– with sugar and
served in small or
large cups. For
the first time,
Röhrig presented
his “Corn in Cup” operation at the Mannheim
Maimess event – and the new offering was well
received and tried out.
The wagon, designed with modern adhesive foil
was reconstructed from an existing crêpe wagon
and largely realised by Tino Röhrig himself. For the
interior furnishing, he contracted a special firm,
which built in the counter with precision, as well as
a refrigerator, a sink and further kitchen
appliances.

Show woman and author of
a book: Dr. phil. Margit Ramus
Cultural Asset Volksfest
“I made my dream come true” – at the age of 44
Margit Ramus forged new paths that lay the foundation
for her impending academic career. The show
woman from Cologne passed her High School
graduation exams, went to university and obtained
a doctorate in the history of art, and all the while
active with running her showman enterprise! In
December 2013, 62-year-old Margit Ramus Dr. phil.
introduced her dissertation “Cultural Asset Volksfest.
Architecture and Decoration in the Showman
Industry”.
Margit Ramus, née Schoeneseifen, is a sixth generation
show woman. At the age of 15, she left school
as she was needed at home. Ever since, the show
woman – born in Cologne in 1951 - has been selling
roasted almonds and other delicacies at Volksfest
events and Christmas Markets. At the age of 44,
after a cruel stroke of fate, she took up another
challenge in life and made a long-standing wish. She
eventually passed the secondary level graduation
exams and, at the age of 47, registered at the Rhine
Friedrichs-Wilhelm University in Bonn in history of
arts and modern German literature, as well as
modern history as minor subjects. Her Master’s
thesis was published in 2004 with the title “How it all
began; fairs, travelling people and rides.” Due to
extensive material, the renowned art historian
Professor Dr. Hiltrud Kier encouraged her to write a
dissertation.
With 752 pages and 1,300 images her dissertation
“Cultural Asset Volksfest. Architecture and Decoration
in the Showman Industry” published in late
December 2013 offers colourful, and at the same
time academic reading matter.
In great detail and with profound
inside knowledge, the 62-yearold
author scrutinized the
previously unexplored topic of
the architecture and decoration
of rides and fairground entertainment
from the art-historical
point of view. In her dissertation,
Dr. phil. Margit Ramus documents
that showman attractions
are modelled on traditional
architecture. Moreover, she
proves that decoration elements
in the showman industry can be
compared with the art form from
different stylistic eras. Up until
the Second World War, all showman
attractions were designed with neo-baroque
style decoration elements. These neo-baroque style
decoration elements were replaced after the Second
World War by abstract artwork and neon lighting. The
1960s brought dreamy motifs in the style of Salvador
Dali, the 1970s flower-power pictures, and bands
such as The Beatles or Abba, and from the 1980s
pop-art, comic, and street-art come together in the
decoration elements on modern ride attractions. The
key part of the dissertation is the catalogue section,
documenting the history of ride manufacturing from
1883 to 2007, including numerous ride attractions
that no longer exist today. For her studies, she
carried out research at Volksfest events, within longestablished
showman families, museums and
archives, such as the Weimar Central State Archive
or the Cologne City Archive which collapsed in 2009.
There are extensive results, offering enough
material for further publications.
Hasselt Kérremes
A book has been published about the well known
Belgian fair event this year; the fair in Hasselt.
On the 21 st March, the book was presented in
Hasselt in the presence of, among others, the
authors Mieke Strauven and Jean-Paul Lambrichts,
the Hasselt city councillor of culture Karolien
Mondelaers, as well as Steve Severeyns from the
Belgian Showman Association. Even last year, the
special exhibition “Expo Hasselt Kèremess”
attracted more than 3,000 visitors. Actually, the book
is the last stage of a project realized by the “Het
Stadsmu” institutions and the City Archive, the
citizens, as well as a number of volunteers; depicting
the fair that has its origins in a carnival event as
an important piece of the city’s culture. The book now
published is divided into two parts, one of them
6

taking a look at the beginning and later development
of the event from 1850 to 1945.
The second part gives a detailed depiction of the
event’s revival after the Second World War and its
relocation to the Boulevard. In addition to the history
and stories about the fair in Hasselt, the 240-page
book also includes more than 130 photos and
images.

ROLLING SCHOOL

The showman children in
Saxony-Anhalt have a new,
modern school wagon,
which was handed over in a
festive ceremony at the
Frühjahrs-Jahrmarkt in
Halle/Saale at midday on
11 th April.
The old school wagon, a US
trailer (articulated camping
trailer) was ageing and wornout.
Moreover, relocating
was often difficult as it
required a towing vehicle.
Thanks to the generous support from the Saxony-
Anhalt government, the Altmärkisch Showman
Association, the Saxony-Anhalt Showman Association,
the Non-Profit Association “Mobile Schools”,
the Magdeburg Showman Association and the
Verein Selbständiger Gewerbetreibender Marktund
Messereisender Magdeburg (Association of
Self-employed travelling market and fair tradesmen
Magdeburg), the new and modern rolling classroom
could eventually be purchased this year. While the
skeleton structure of the wagon was built by a firm
in Poland, the interior furnishing was built in
Germany.

Première in Nürnberg:
“Old Shining House”
Walkthrough constructions have
been the focus of the family for
exactly 35 years now. It all began
with the “China-Town” owned by
grandparents Hans-Dieter and
Gisela Schultze, and then moved
on to the unique “Domino” as
well as the “Gaudi-Hütt’n” of his
parents, Manuela and Ludwig
Barth Sr. Now their son, also
called Ludwig, has dared to
become a showman in his own
right. “Old Shining House” is the
name of his new and very first
own attraction that celebrated its
première at the Nürnberg Frühlingsfest.

Old Shining House
Effectively placed on a top-end site in Nürnberg,
the construction aroused the visitor’s
curiosity and caused them to stop in front of it.
Seeing visitors disappear behind a mysterious
door, little children being turned away at the paybox
and screaming women rushing to safety,
directly into the arms of their waiting friends. A
new haunted house with an apparently terrifying
interior awaits its victims. An interview with
Ludwig Barth:
What is your attraction, a fun attraction? Or
perhaps not for the faint-hearted?
Yes and no. An important and decisive feature
is that our actors can adapt themselves to the public
present, and act accordingly. Naturally, there is a
difference between kiddie and family days and the
fireworks display in the evenings, when young
adults, who want to and can come face-to-face with
horror films, are our target group. It goes without saying
that this provides surges of adrenaline.
Well – a visit to the fairground has to be fun.
There is a very important rule. Those who enter our
house are looking for horror and risks, and they get
what they want. Body contact with our guests is
strictly forbidden. After all, this would be a completely
different dimension and certainly not acceptable
for many.
Who are your actors?
They are professionals provided by an agency.
As the attraction is presented all over Germany, as a
general rule I will engage local artists who know the
region and its people. I attach special importance to
an authentic appearance. Costumes and masks
have to go together and suit the actors. As a general
rule, there will be between six and eight actors. All
of them have a lot of experience in how to behave
towards our guests, as they have already worked at
festivals, discos or trade fairs.
Are your actors ‘only’ live ghosts?
A “live” spook in a traditional ghost ride thrives
on the moment of shock, appearing in just one

allowed to overstep?

be substantially changed and more details will be
added to individually themed rooms. Moreover,
there are plans for a waterfall and a blood fountain
for the outdoor area.
How much did you invest?
What venues are there in your tour schedule?
A lot of money – enough to easily buy a flat in
Munich!
Where did you get the idea for the attraction?
I was impressed by my visits to the London and
the Hamburg Dungeons, and wanted to seize upon
the good ideas for our region and to fill a gap in the
market. Today I think that I am correct in my
business decision.
Is your attraction also a show booth?
It belongs to the show and fun sector, no
question about it. In my opinion a classic show booth
is something different though. I present a modern
Walkthrough construction and guarantee a creepy
atmosphere.
What is the name of your attraction?
After last minute discussions relating to the
rights to the name, the name now is Old Shining
House.
This season, we will appear in Salzburg and,
among other venues, also in Würzburg, Eisleben,
Fürth, Kaiserslautern and Karlsruhe.
How many transport vehicles are required?
I tour with three transport vehicles. At present, I
am still thinking about how to use existing loading
capacity to the optimum.
How old are you?
(Laughing) I am 24 years old.
What's so special about your attraction?
The creepy atmosphere is not only provided by
a good facade. We want to appeal to all senses and
also work with matching noise effects, for example.
You could say that we offer show time with many
scary moments.

Düsseldorf
The capital city of North-Rhine Westphalia is
buzzing with activity. There are construction sites
all over the famous city on the Rhine. New
shopping centres, office and business buildings
are being built and the inner-city street network has

looking forward to the future indeed. Is designing
its future. At the same time
Düsseldorf is also looking back
to its traditions and customs,
and continues to 'live' them.
Düsseldorf is versatile, varied,
international, cosmopolitan, has
the “the longest bar in the world”,
and sometimes it is also a little
snobbish. Be that as it may,
Düsseldorf knows how to party in
the medieval city centre or on the
banks of the Rhine, carnival, on
Japantag (Japan Day), at the Franzosenfest
(French Festival), during
exhibitions, at football matches
and at the high number of traditional
Schützenfest events in the
city. Despite its future-oriented approach,
Düsseldorf relentlessly
preserves its traditions and its
varied cultural customs. Believe it
or not, more than 50 Schützenfest
events are celebrated in Düsseldorf
to this day, yet only a few of
them are still accompanied by a
fair event. Until just a few years ago
that was definitely not so, when the
Schützen in the city districts
celebrated together with their
guests in the beer tent, rode the
dodgem track, chain ride or the
Breakdance, and the Schützen
and Volksfest events were the
absolute highlights in the varied
event and festival programme in
the city of Düsseldorf. Schützenfest
events, festival processions
and celebrating in the beer tent are
still popular today; unfortunately
fair attractions built up on the fairground
at the Festplatz are not
though. As a result only a couple of
or no showman operations at all make their way to most
of the Schützenfest events in the state capital. In
general, this is not a problem for which the Düsseldorf
Schützen associations can be held responsible, as
small and medium-sized fair events are also
struggling to survive in other cities and communities,
for various and quite different reasons.
There are exceptions to the rule though – and the most
beautiful and largest one is the Schützen and Volksfest
of the Schützenverein St. Sebastianus Düsseldorf
1316 e. V. The magnificent and high-class Schützenfest

Düsseldorf-Première:
"Super Chaos" from H.P. Maier

manufacturer KMG
of events – is celebrated together with the largest fair
on the Rhine; this year from 11 th to 20 th July. Even
though the Düsseldorf events calendar is filled with
absolutely top-class events that leave nothing to be
desired, it does not include a single event that attracts
more than 4 million visitors and unfailingly thrills the
public every year. The largest fair on the Rhine is an
unparalleled showcase event in the German showman
industry, and the capital city of Düsseldorf, and its
ideal location on the banks of the Rhine between the
Rhein-Knie-Bridge and the Oberkassel Bridge enhances
the exclusive image of the largest fair on the
Rhine to the point of perfection. In fact, the only thing
missing for absolute perfection is car parking facilities
in close proximity. While cars could still be parked on
the meadow next to the rides in earlier years, this is
unthinkable today. The shuttle bus service between the
exhibition grounds and the fairground is inconvenient
for many guests. The majority of visitors come to the
Rheinkirmes using public transport. Going to the roller
coaster by bus and rail is certainly a good alternative.
Two Opening Celebrations
The Schützenfest of the Schützenverein St.
Sebastianus Düsseldorf 1316 and the fair being
celebrated together is a deeply rooted tradition. Only
the opening is (still) celebrated separately. As the fair
begins on a Friday, it is also opened on Friday, whereas
the Schützenfest is opened with its own extended
opening ceremony in the festively decorated beer tent
one day later.

Of course, opening the fair separately is also a kind of
appreciation of the showmen and further emphasizes
the importance of the fair. Actually, it is high time to
open the Schützenfest and the fair event at the same
time. As they both belong together and complement
each other, all participants should open this unique
family event with a cheerful ceremony.

Giants – a photo taken
last year
Düsseldorf is known for repeatedly hosting most
impressive ride, coaster, and funhouse premières.
Last year, the “City Skyliner” celebrated its world
première in Düsseldorf. This year, this event might well
have been repeated or even topped, as the 100-metre
“Hangover” Freefall Tower equipped with new ride
elements, announced by Ewald Schneider, was to
celebrate its world première in Düsseldorf. As is well
known, this is not going to happen now.
Fair architect Thomas König succeeded in contracting
four debutantes (2 ride attractions and 2 Walkthrough
constructions), H.P. Maier will present his “Super
Chaos” swing in Düsseldorf for the first time, and with
the “High Impress”, Frank Oberschelp will bring the
fastest “frying pan” in the world to the Rhine. Among
the Walkthrough constructions the “Villa Wahnsinn” will
be the season’s novelty in Düsseldorf, and the large
fun construction “XXL Fun-House” from the Renz

family will make its first appearance at the largest fair
on the Rhine.
Let us start our tour of the fairground at the water ride
(Löwenthal) in the direction of the “Bellevue” Ferris
Wheel, and have a close look at the fairground
attractions on the dike, turn left in the direction of the
Schützenfest and see the attractions on the bank of the
Rhine. In short, let us first see what to find in the outer
circuit. At the first attraction, visitors will encounter Ralf
Sturm’s “Kristall-Palast”, a classic from the funhouse
sector. The labyrinth, differently placed every year, has
many loyally returning regular visitors.

Blume's "Daemonium"
19

ides from Schütze. This year, the Schütze family will
present “Schloss Dracula” with new name signs and
new ghosts. The corner site in front of the Schützen
tent will once again be taken by the “Wilde Maus”
(Eberhard/Göbel). Passing the Schützen tent, visitors
reach the “Konga” mega swing (Küchenmeister),
which did very good business on this site in the last
two years. At the entrance to the first bay on the bank
of the Rhine, the “Golden Greats” dodgem track
(Kropp) will be built up this year, while the Wave-
Swinger (Hanstein) and the “Höllenblitz” (Renoldi) will
be retaining their familiar sites. The “Füchschen” beer
tent will also be built up in the bay, where it will be the
meeting point of the partying crowd once again. As the
showmen placed in the bay did not fare well in the
years before, no concession stalls will be built up in the
bay again this year. Thus the locations for the four
large attractions are perfectly chosen.
As is tradition, Howey’s “Happy Sailor” and the “Fight
Club” (Häsler/Schultz) will be deployed in the second
bay on the bank of the Rhine. Passing the “Alpina-
Bahn” (Bruch), visitors will encounter the “Breakdance”
from Kinzler, Blume’s “Daemonium” and the
“Circus Circus” (Bruch/Gründler). Directly in front of
the water ride, the starting point of our tour visitors
reach the “Toboggan” from Menzie Fischer – a
completely new site for this complex, traditional
construction.
This marks the end of the first part of our tour and the
beginning of the second part the inner circuit. Opposite
the water ride, holding the top end site in the
entrance area of the main entrance to the Rheinwiese,
Kaiser’s “High Energy” will whirl its passengers
through the skies. While William Bruch’s Düsseldorf
“Breakdance” will occupy the same site as last year,
visitors will encounter the first debutante on the former
“Nessy” site, the Sicko-type KMG ride “Super Chaos”
from H.P. Maier. Perfectly placed across the circuit will
follow the “Diamond” dodgem track (Hartkopf/Osselmann)
and immediately behind it Goetzke’s “Alex Airport”.
Behind the entrance to the “Alpenwelt” gastronomic
operation the Hempen family will provide a lot
of fun with their “Big Bamboo”, the “Rio Rapidos”
rafting ride (Kaiser) will provide the visitors with a welcome
cooling down, and the funniest travelling
construction site in the world, the “Krumm & Schief
Bau” (Hartmann), will follow on next to it. There will be
no change in the placements of the Caterpillar Ride
(Steiger/Buchholz), the “Venezianisches Pferdekarussell”
(Langenberg), the “Schnauferl” (Vespermann)
and the “Super Rutsche” (Göbel). The “City Skyliner”
(Schneider) will maintain its première site of last
year, flanked by Krameyer’s “Big Monster” and
Schäfer’s “Shake & Roll”. The “XXL Fun-House” (Renz)
will make its debut on the traditional funhouse site
opposite the “Alpina-Bahn”.

The Düsseldorf cult pub simply belongs to
the Rheinwiese. Naturally, the Schumacher
brewery with its barn will also be presented
again. To the right of the barn, facing its

roof tents will be built up. A large open-air stage will now
be in the middle surrounded in a circle by benches and

placed under the two smaller tents. Even in rainy
weather visitors can celebrate in a dry place here.
Fireworks: 1 Million Visitors Expected
On the second fairground Friday the brilliant fireworks
display will be held again, attracting some 1 million
visitors – crowding the fairground, the Oberkassel dike,
the two Rhine bridges and the medieval city centre
bank, on this evening every year. It is the day with the
highest visitor attendance and the strongest turnover
day for many participants. The Wuppertal pyrotechnic
firm Nico once again promises a first-class fireworks
display replete with the latest effects. “Eine Seefahrt die
ist lustig”, or “A voyage is fun” will be the motto in
Düsseldorf throughout the event, with a fairground ferry
shuttle between the medieval city centre and the fairground
being provided. As there are no car parks in
close proximity to the fairground, and illegally parked
vehicles will be resolutely towed away, visitors are
recommended to use public transport. Those coming
by car should park at the signed car parks at the
exhibition grounds and take the shuttle bus. At long last,
all the information about the largest fair on the Rhine is
available on an informative website. It provides guests
with information relating to the fair and the Schützenfest,
clearly listing accommodation and further information
providing for a pleasant visit to Düsseldorf and the
fair. The website is also directed at the showmen
though, providing them with all the information relating
to applications. For information on the fair and

WÜRZBURG
Text: Helmut Bresler
Photos: Helmut Bresler, Archiv Müller-Reichart, Verlag Mainpost
Christian Schuchardt, 45, the new Würzburg Lord Mayor
since this spring, will open the Kiliani event in the Würzburg
Hofbräu Hahn beer tent on Friday, 4 th July.
Once again presented will be the Almhütte under the management
of Ehrenfried Müller and many spectacular showman novelties
ranging from the “Europa-Rad” (Kipp), the “Sky Fall”
(Goetzke), “The King” (Zinnecker) and the “Predator” (Löffelhardt),
to the “Techno Power (Eckl), “Breakdance” (Wolf), and the
“American Swing” (Schäfer), not to forget the large water ride from
Heitmann-Schneider and the richly curved “Wilde Maus” from
Münch. The show and fun sector will be represented by the firms
Hofmann/Jehn (Freddy’s Company), Barth (Old Shining House),
and Dom-Jollberg with the “Fahrt zur Hölle”. Another organisational
novelty: After the head official in charge, Alexander Hoffmann,
was elected to the Bundestag last autumn, the Kiliani boss
is a woman; namely, Hülya Düber. She is very accomplished in her
job and was head official in the building law department and head
of building inspection in the construction department at the Würzburg
city authorities.
■
KILIANI LEGEND: UWE WOITERS
No, bids for the project are duly called for according to a regular or
irregular rotation schedule. The electrical company Pixis used to be in
charge, and the Scheuermann firm from Giebelstadt/Eisfeld has been
carrying out all electrical works on the Würzburg fairground since 1984.
Since when has the Talavera been your second home?
For 50 years it has been something like my second living room. Since
1964, I have been working at the spring festival and at the Kiliani event.
What did the fairground look like back then?
Completely different! In those days, there weren't any power junction
boxes or cables laid out under the street. There were still overhead lines,
and we were a small team working continuously.
Were you briefed by your predecessor?
No, I wasn’t. No, I was simply told “...this is your new job. See to it
that everything works”.
Showmen are not always easy. Did you often have problems?
No, I didn’t. We occasionally had slight differences of opinion, but in
the end everybody still had the electricity they required in time for the
beginning of the event. Sometimes it simply took slightly longer …
Which attractions were built up on the fairground 50 years ago?
The countdown for the Kiliani opening has started. The last showmen
are arriving at the fairground and there is work going on all over the
fairground. Even Uwe Woiters, the fairground electrician is now a 'live
wire', so to speak. It is his last big job. Once dismantling begins about
midnight on 20 th July, it will also be the end of his active working life.
Kirmes & Park Revue interviewed the living Kiliani legend.
Do you get fired up by the rush of activity all around you?
No, I simply have known the procedures and the showmen long
enough. I work true to the ancient and wise sayings “Strength lies in calmness”,
or “Haste makes waste”. This does not mean dilly-dallying but
working quickly through tasks. But of course, I cannot possibly be everywhere
at the same time.
There were famous and fine-sounding names from the era. I recall for
example Distel, Feldl and Herhaus.
Can you think of any related stories?
Lulu Herhaus, the Grande dame of the showman industry still came
to Würzburg with her old wooden track ride, before she acquired the
modern steel version from Schwarzkopf. I was her contact person for all
questions relating to electric power and worked on many fairgrounds; in
Frankfurt, Straubing, and Munich – all over Southern Germany. I got on
well with her.
Who was the beer tent patron at that time?
A significant 'birthday' is fast approaching, isn’t it?
There is still a long time to go – until after Kiliani. On 23 rd July seven
decades will be celebrated together with your family here in Würzburg.
When did you begin you apprenticeship as an electrician?
That was a long time ago – back then in Eichstädt at the age of 14. I
came to Würzburg only later and quickly felt at home in the metropolis in
Lower Franconia.
Today, the Scheuermann firm is responsible for the Kiliani power
supply. Has it always been this way?
24

The owner of the largest operation on the fairground was Anneliese
Müller-Reichart – and she was in full control of her business.
How did you perceive the Müller-Reichart’s demise?
It came all of a sudden and unexpectedly for everybody. I think the
last few years on the fairground were not happy for them.
Does Kiliani need the Stadlwirt?
Yes, I think so. Naturally, these local scene restaurateurs - the Stadlwirt
and/or the Almhütte - attract new visitors. In the final analysis, every
single participant and the organiser benefits from this, and thanks to
increased demand we can also sell more electricity. In other words, everybody
is happy.
How does the cooperation with the beer tent patron Michael Hahn
work out?
I honestly don’t know what could be better. Hahn is an experienced
professional.
You have seen Hans Dom and Heiner Distel as showman spokesmen.
Does Kiliani need this post?
Absolutely! It is important to have an experienced and respected
voice to the outside - to the public. These days this is all the more
important, with more media diversity than ever. I think that both Würzburg
fair events have always been, and will remain, valuable.
During the redevelopment of the Talavera, the Kiliani event was
held on the Mainwiesen. Did you like that?
To be honest, it was a disaster as far as electricity is concerned and
resulted in a lot of extra work. The area was simply not suitable for fair
events, and nothing more but a temporary solution was possible.
Will the events be relocated again for the Landesgartenschau 2018?
I don’t know; I don’t have any information on the planning status at
the moment.
Do you still like to board a ride?
I have always liked to take a ride and still do today. After all, coasters,
Freefall Towers, Ferris Wheels and speedy round rides must be tested,
mustn’t they?
You have experienced the era of the fairground director Anny
Musenbichler, as well as the two men who have held that office, Horst
Waibel and Alexander Hoffmann. Interesting people?
Certainly, without a doubt. All of them with a mind of their own; and
they all would surely have been in a right fix without electricity!
Do you miss any regular participants who left the Kiliani, such as
Lössel, Guderley, or Dölle?

SPECIAL
Of course, after all we worked together well for a
long time. But the Kiliani event experienced a lean
period that not all the showmen wanted, or were able,
to cope with.
During the so-called peak times I have help. Then
I am twice or even three times as fast as usual.
Do you accept cash or bank transfer only?
What happened?
Both are possible; we decide case by case.
The answer is very simple. Years ago, far too many
events were held at the same time. The popular wine
festivals in the surrounding region alone prevented a
lot of visitors from coming to the fairground. As a result,
earnings decreased and the reputation of the Kiliani
event suffered; truly not a good situation.
Does your successor, Fabian Henkel, already
have many contacts?
Yes, he accompanied me at the spring festival
and he is getting used to it. I am sure he will master the
job with ease.
What brought about the recovery in the last few
years?
You could have retired at the age of 65, but you
put in another five years. Why?
In my opinion, there are several factors: A new beer
tent patron with new ideas, a trendy restaurateur with the
Almhütte concept, and new ideas for the supporting
programme, such as the veteran car meeting on the last
opening Sunday with a car parade across the fairground.
As a result, visitors rushed to the fairground.
There were spring fair events in snow and
freezing temperatures.
Oh dear. There were years that were simply far too
cold, with frozen water pipes and not a single visitor
strolling across the fairground, covered in snow. This
year, 2014, there was beautiful spring weather; Saint
Peter had a heart for the showmen!
Because I enjoy my work and my work environment,
and because I was in good health. I happily put
in a few years more.
What does your wife say about it?
She has coped well and is now looking forward to
our new life together.
What is your hobby in your free time?
I have a large garden I love, and I will then also
find time and leisure for it.
Electricity is dangerous. Were there accidents?
Were there any special experiences you have
not forgotten?
Well – yes. Not due to a short-circuit, but due to a
staff member's carelessly discarded cigarette,
Schäfer’s suspended-gondola ghost ride could almost
have fallen victim to fire. That was really dangerous. It
happened in the early afternoon, but thanks to the
rapid arrival of the fire brigade, the very worst scenario
was prevented. Everybody lent a hand so that the ride
could open again the next day. Everybody helped!
Dangerous are the forces of habit and the
neglecting of basic safety regulations. Of course we
suffered the occasional minor electric shock, but
nothing more serious – thank God!
The Bavarian television station interviewed you?
Yes, during the Würzburg spring festival. It was
aired in the “Wir in Bayern” programme, portraying the
state and the people of Bavaria. Afterwards, many
people asked me about the report on the telly.
What do you do if all the participants want to
have electricity at the same time or want to have
their operations disconnected at the same time
during dismantling?
What are you doing now?
Supplying the showman with electricity who
arrived last. Goodbye.

“Bruchmeister, Lüttje Lage, Ausmarsch …”,
“Bruchmeister” (a ceremonial title peculiar to
Hannover), “schnapps”, “procession”; in
Hannover, the capital city of Lower Saxony, these
terms are inevitably associated with the “largest
Schützenfest in the world”, held on the centrally
located and boasting a total area of some 10-
hectares at the Schützenplatz. It is to be held from
4 th to 13 th July this year, where the 485 th Schützenfest
will offer a mixture of high tech and tradition.
“The Hannover residents and their guests from
near and far can look forward to an attractive
mixture of thrills, partying, family fun and
Schützen tradition”, promised Klaus Timaeus,
General Manager of the Verein Hannoversches
Schützenfest e.V., in an initial preview of the event
at the first press conference in January.
Meanwhile, preparations for the largest Schützenfest
in the world have almost been completed and once
the build-up of attractions on the Schützenplatz,
currently in its final stage has been finished, a well
worth seeing fairground ranking within the German
première Volksfest league will have been put together.
The giant propeller “Gladiator” (Buwalda-Kriek),
whirling its passengers through the sky, and the
“Artistico” (Köhrmann), a giant swing, making its
passengers feel like high wire artists will be the top
highlights. Further attractions will be the “Burner”
(Meisel) and the “Hot Shot” (Dölle), promising speedy
rides up to the sky, along with the “Teststrecke!”
(Steiger Achterbahn GmbH) and the “Wilde Maus”
(Barth) coasters, as well as the water ride (Meyer &
Steiger). Naturally, the “Roue Parisienne” (Burghard-
Kleuser) will be a focus point at the fairground. Ghost
rides, funhouse constructions and modern rides will
complete the cornucopia of fairground attractions.
Among many other attractions, the “Kick Down”
(Landwermann), “Polyp” (Stummer), “Shaker”"
(Wilhelm), „Breakdance” (Hainlein-Noack), „Wellenflug”
(Blume) and the “Musik Express” (Krause) –
highly popular in Hannover – the “Geisterschlange”
(Lehmann), the “Down Town” labyrinth (Hofmann), the
funhouse attractions “Omni” (Kinzler), “Crazy Outback”
(Hofmann-Jehn) and “Fun Street” (L. Hofmann)
will await the visitors.
Another highlight, the “Altweibermühle”
(Hartkopf) will
be transformed into the
"Horror-Mühle" at this year’s
Schützenfest, with Marc
Terenzi and his team presenting
excerpts from his
“Horror-Nights” programme,
providing the visitors with a
creepy atmosphere, just as
will the “Panic Room”
(Lemoine). Those preferring
sportive activities will get
their share of entertainment
at the “Live Boxen” attraction
(Heinen), and with some
skill and luck they can even
win some money.
Outstanding:

A LOOK FORWARD
Fairground map of the
largest Schützenfest in the
world in Hannover (subject
to change)
The selection of attractions will be rounded off by a
number of kiddie rides, a pony ride, popular dodgem
tracks and a Go-kart track. Furthermore, the “Paderborner
Pferdekarussell” (Noack-Steuer) will provide
some nostalgic flair.
Naturally, operations providing visitors with fun, entertainment,
and delicacies cannot be absent either on
a perfect fairground. Games booths, sweets, roasted
almonds, delicious fish rolls and pastries are an indispensable
must. A special feature at the Hannover
Schützenfest are the large beer tents, snack booths
and beverage outlets with their cosy beer gardens,
where the long-standing Hannover “Lüttje-Lage-
Trinken” (schnapps drinking) is retained, and
delicious fried sausages and spicy shish kebab are
served. Moreover, Ross Antony, Matthias Brodowy
and guest star Bata Ilic will certainly provide for a “full
house” and a happy partying atmosphere in the beer
tents “Alt Hanovera”, “Gildefestzelt” and the shrill –
and now a cult – “Gaypeople-Zelt”. Friends of
traditional music will certainly get their money’s worth
at the “Festival der Blasmusik”, "Olympiade der
Fanfarenzüge” marching bands, the “Jazzfrühschoppen”,
or the festive 'last post' on Schützenplatz.
The exact dates will be available in the media, in
flyers, or at www.hannover.de/schuetzenfest
A special highlight in the year of the FIFA World Cup
will be the “Hannover 96-tent” operated by Enzo
Fumiento, a well-known Hannover publican. It is to be
a central meeting point for football fans and fans of
the Schützenfest alike. In the centre of the fairground,
the magnificent circular section surrounded by tall
poplars is a cosy rest area with gastronomic
operations, inviting visitors to linger and stay.
Despite all this, it should not be forgotten that the event
is a Schützenfest. As a result, Schützen shape the
image of the 12-kilometre Schützen procession
through the Hannover medieval city centre on 6 th July.
Every year, some 10,000 people from German and
foreign Schützen Associations, marching bands and
folk and carnival groups participate in this procession.
(Moreover, the Schützen provide a special atmosphere
to the events in the “Festhalle Marris” beer tent
every evening. Hundreds of Schützen coming from
the Luneburg Heath and the Harz Uplands will also
dominate the Niedersachsentag (Lower Saxony Day)
on the second Friday during the event. This latter
feature was omitted in 2012) As a result, the organiser,
the showmen and the Schützenfest mascot “Ballerkalle”
hope for beautiful weather, as well as plenty of
fun and entertainment at the 485 th Schützenfest on the
Hannover Schützenplatz.

GOSLAR
Text:
Uwe Holzmann
From 4 th to 13 th July, visitors to
the largest Volksfest and
Schützenfest event in the Goslar
region will be able to experience
a great deal of Schützen
tradition, surges of adrenalin,
wind in their hair and a lot of fun.
The traditional Schützen procession
at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday 5 th
July, accompanied by music,
proceeding through the medieval
city centre to the Osterfeld fairground
and attracting crowds of
spectators every year, will mark the
beginning of the event. In addition
to classic ride attractions, such as
the Ferris Wheel (Wilhelm) or the
“Jaguar-Express” (Ahrend), visitors
will also encounter a number of new
highlights, such as the giant “Mega
King Tower” (Zinnecker), the
“Monster” (Gebr. Boos), and the
“Crazy Mouse” coaster (Ahrend).
Further novelties – or appearing in
Goslar after a break of many years
– will be the “Magi” (Meyer), the
“Volare” Wave-Swinger (Blume),
the “Flipper” (Splitt) and the
“Hawaii-Swing” (Schaak). Moreover,
the “Break Dancer No.2”
(Dreher-Vespermann), the “Krake”
(Markmann), the water ride (Heitmann-Schneider)
and the dodgem
(Vorlop) are indispensable attractions
at Goslar. Providing the
visitors with a lot of fun, a creepy
atmosphere, and a large dose of
horror will be the “Horror-Lazarett”
(Lehmann), appearing in Goslar for
the first time, as well as the “Psycho”
(Bergmann), along with the “U
3000” (Ahrend), the “Gaudi Hüttn”
(Hartmann) and the classic “Spuk
Schloss” Ghost Ride (Hansla). The
younger visitors will be able to
enjoy nine kiddie rides. Moreover,
the Continental pick stands “Silbermine”
and “Spielhölle Hongkong”
from Kellner together with a firstclass
selection of games booths,
shooting galleries and pick up
trolleys, many snack and sweets
booths, roasted almond booths,
pastry bakeries and ice cream
parlours, as well as an ample
choice of beverage outlets with cosy
beer gardens will leave nothing to
be desired. Every Friday at 11 p.m.,
the traditional fireworks display will
provide the fairground with a happy
atmosphere, and on Wednesday 9 th
July the Family Day will entice the
public to the fairground with
reduced prices. Important to know
for football fans, there will also be live
TV coverage of all the FIFA World
Cup matches of the German team
inside the “Bayern Festhalle”. ■

The Bürgersöhne corps (1814), in which bachelors celebrate the
Freischießen event and shoot out their own reigning king, has a great
tradition. The origins of the corps go back to the time of the industrial
revolution, which had deep influence on Peine. The high number of
new citizens also wanted to take part in the Freischießen event. However,
they were denied the right to join the Schützengilde, consisting
of long-time Peine merchants and craftsmen at that time. Also
founded in addition to the aforementioned corps were the MTV Vater
Jahn Peine (1862), TSV Bildung (1863), and the Peine Walzwerker
Verein (1878), which also participate in the largest town festival.
Two Bürgerschaffer, or administrators, elected at the citizen’s
meeting, are responsible for the organisation of the Peine Freischießen,
and during the preparations for the Peine Freischießen,
the Kirmes & Park Revue had the opportunity to interview Thomas
Weitling, the administrator re-elected for the 7 th time, at the Freischießen
2014.
Mr. Weitling, what are the special features at this year’s
Peine Freischießen?
PEINE FREISCHIESSEN
The Peine Freischießen can look back on a centuries-old
tradition and enjoys being ranked highly in the affections of the
Peine residents. The Volksfest is enthusiastically used to cultivate
friendships, to meet old friends, and also as an excuse to return to
your home town of Peine to celebrate the Freischießen event with
friends and family. In 1979, the Schützenplatz, located in the town
centre directly adjacent to the town hall and the Schützen building,
was set up as a fairground. The adjoining town park and the high
number of trees surrounding the fairground provide a very special,
green setting. Countless processions of marching bands held
throughout the event provide Peine with a special flair and draw the
fascinated attention of virtually all citizens.
Text: Uwe Holzmann
The largest event celebrated in the some 50,000-resident district
town of Peine in Lower Saxony is the annual Schützenfest, the
“Peine Freischießen”, held for five days around the first Sunday
in July; this year from 4 th to 8 th July.
Originally, the name comes from the ancient custom, according to
which the Peine residents were able to “shoot themselves out of their
civic duties”. Even though the origin of the event is not known due
to a town fire in 1557, it is thought that there was a kind of Bürgerwehr,
or Home Guard, in the frequently fought-over town even shortly
after the founding of the town in about 1220. Over the years, the
Peine residents took advantage of this right for self-defence to be
granted an increasing number of rights by the landlords, such as
the right to “shoot themselves out of taxes” or the right to elect the
mayor. Since the late 19 th century, the Peine Freischießen has no
longer been an event of a single “local Schützenverein”, but of
seven “corps”, without which the Peine Freischießen would be
unthinkable. They preserve the idea and the cultural assets of the
Peine Freischießen. Every corps has its own king. Among the seven
corps there are three so-called “Bürgerkorporationen” (citizen
corps), namely the Neue Bürger Corps (1927), the Bürger Jäger
Corps (1871), and the Schützengilde (1597). Among these three
corps the king, who has a special position in the town’s community
life during his 1-year reign, is shot out.
Are there any special events during the opening of the
event?
For some years now, we have waived official opening speeches
in Peine. On the opening Friday from 3 p.m. the fairground fills up
with eleven youth marching bands playing not only for the visitors
but also for the showmen and operators instead, attracting the
crowds to the fairground even in the early afternoon. It goes without
saying that the young musicians get a number of free rides on the
ride attractions and coasters by way of thanks. Since 1966, a
magnificent fireworks display is held by Schneider-Pyrotechnik in the
adjoining town park at about 10 p.m. on Friday evening, much to the
delight of the visitors to the fairground, as well as the residents of
the Peine town centre.
Which attractions will you surprise the visitors to the Peine
Freischießens with?
After a year without a Ferris Wheel, visitors will be able to enjoy
rides in the “Around the World” Ferris Wheel from the Cornelius firm
once again, and the “Sky Dance” tower chain ride from the Nülken
firm will provide visitors with thrilling flights up in the sky. As the
organiser, we are pleased that the Haberkorn firm from Erfurt will
present its novelty “Chaos Airport” funhouse as a very special
attraction in Peine, and the over-the-top ride “Night Style” from

Raymond Armbrecht will properly whirl its
passengers around. It goes without saying that
classic rides are also a fixture in Peine, such as
the “Breakdancer” (Dreher-Vespermann), “Top In”
dodgem track (Robrahn) and the “Troika” Switchback
(Frank Ahrend), particularly popular with the
youth for many years now.
And what about attractions for younger
visitors?
The younger visitors will be able to enjoy a
number of rides and attractions, such as the
“Fantasialand” compressed air ride (Berweke),
“Flying Airdance” (Wilhelm), the kiddie track ride
(Böker), the small “Piraten-Schiff” (Bossle), the
“Junior Skooter” (Kröker), and this year the “Nordsee-Bälle”
novelty from Rosenstädt, instead of a
pony ride.
Would you tell us something about the
infrastructure at the Peine Freischießen?
On the fairground opposite the Schützen
building there will be solid toilet facilities with a
service and nappy-changing station, a police
station and a German Red Cross container. As the
Peine Freischießen is a very peaceful event mainly
frequented by families, security personnel have
not been necessary so far; only the Niedersachsen
beer tent employs security personnel of
its own in the evening hours.
This year, the Peine Freischießen occurs
during the FIFA World Cup – what will you as
the organiser do about this?
To prevent football fans from watching the
quarter and semi final matches at home instead of
coming to the fairground, the town authorities have
organised a “Public Viewing” in the town park in
close proximity to the fairground. Therefore, football
fans can enjoy themselves on the fairground
before and after the matches.

HISTORY
A LOOK BACK ON 30 YEARS PEINE FREISCHIESSEN
Traditionally the small but always
interestingly laid out fairground
that presents regularly changing
novelties and attractions, mainly
accommodated showmen from
Bremen, Hamburg, Braunschweig
and, naturally, from the
Peine/Salzgitter region.

water ride (Löwenthal) and
“Breakdance” (Rühl)
1987: “Die wilde Jagd”
(Thrumann) and “Kampf der

For decades, the dodgem
track (Robrahn), “Rio
Express” (Hoffmann), the
small “Breakdancer”
(Dreher), the set of
Gallopers “Die wilde Jagd”
(Thrumann), “Jet Ride” from
H.G. Wille (initially a normal

larger, 14-piece model built
by Lutz), and the constantly
popular Hennecke “Kinder-
Paradies” track ride from
the Geschwister Wille from
Bad Gandersheim have
been regular participants.
“Die wilde Jagd” was built up in Peine for the last
time in 1996, when it was sold to a private
collector.
In the meantime it has come under the ownership
of the Deutsches Musikautomaten-Museum in
Bruchsal Castle, where a part of the ride is

1987: “Rio Express” (Hoffmann)

presented in a permanent exhibition. The
“Fantasialand” Jet Ride has been operated by
Frank Berweke from Braunschweig for six years;
the “Geschwister Wille” firm gave up touring and
sold the kiddie ride. With the beautiful kiddie track
ride from the Bremen Böker firm, the “Kinder-
Paradies” has found an appealing successor in
Peine.
Almost every year during the last 30 years, a
Ferris Wheel has been built up on the fairground
on the Peine Kantstraße. Up until 1986, it was
often the small, 20-gondola Ferris Wheel from
Franz Bruch from Düsseldorf, from 1988 the
successor ride (a 33-metre Nauta-Bussink Wheel
with 24 gondolas), and from 1995 the 45-metre
“Wonder-Wheel” from the Bruch-Schneider firm.
Other attractions and novelties in Peine during the
last 30 years have included the brand new “Big
Splash” water ride from Löwenthal, the prototype
of which was built by Weber + Co., but unfortunately
had to be shut down due to technical
problems, while the “1001 Nacht” Flying Carpet
from Bruch, the “Hully Gully” from Walter Köhrmann
and a novelty Breakdance, namely the
model from the Herne Rühl firm, were regularly
besieged by visitors. In 1987, the “Galactica”
(Berg), “Ranger” (Schäfer), “Kampf der Giganten”
(Blume), “Crazy Town” (Schau), and the “Wellenflug”
(Blume), along with the “Breakdancer”
(Dreher) appearing in Peine for the first time and
a fixture ever since, enthralled the public. In 1988,
the “Skylab” (Tolisch) took the visitors up into the
1988: “Skylab” (Tolisch), organ (Ricke),
and Ferris Wheel (Franz Bruch) in Peine
sky, and the “Schunkler” (Wendler), the “Lido
2000” show booth (Lemoine), and a Mäusestadt
provided a lot of fun in Peine. Novelties in 1989
were the Huss Magic “Circus-Circus” from “HBB”
(Howey-Bruch-Bruch), making its third appearance
after its première in Peine, the “Centrox” from
Gräfe boasting an additional rotating movement,
and the Dutch “Sky Flyer” from Tegelaar, as well
as the “Hai-Show” (shark show) providing thrilling
entertainment.

Details of the new

Even though copyright has meanwhile become a
delicate topic, investigation revealed that the name
“Villa Wahnsinn” is legally protected only in the
gastronomic sector. As a result, Markus von
Olnhausen was able to have the rights to the name
legally protected for the showman sector – excepting
of course, gastronomy. In mid-2013, the
family carried out all steel assembly themselves and
the new hydraulic system was fitted into the second
wagon. For the “Villa Wahnsinn”, two vehicles are
now placed at a 45 degree angle to each other,
providing an unusual visual appearance and
design. Spreading over two levels, the 24-metre
long, 9-metre deep and 10-metre high “Villa Wahnsinn”
ranks among the larger funhouse constructions
in Germany. In addition to its size and
height, the “Villa” provides a bright, friendly, and
vividly coloured design. While Boris Shypov

high spirits, fun and just a little madness according
to the wishes of the family, the Reckmann firm from

Oberhausen expertly installed the power-saving

there is much to experience already in the outside
area, and inside the attraction a spacious glass
labyrinth, a “car wash”, suspension bridges, moving
barrels and staircases, a ball pool, an expander
course, a moving belt, rotating discs and still much
more; all is available to the visitors. From August the
attraction is to be extended with a cake-walk, and
fine-tuned with further LED spotlights and decoration
elements.
King-sized sunflowers, solar lanterns and flowers
provide the attraction with a friendly and colourful
atmosphere.
Considering the vast number of funhouse constructions
it was certainly a bold decision to invest
a great deal of money in a Walkthrough construction.
The “Villa Wahnsinn” however proves that good
ideas and their realisation can really make a difference.
This year, the “Villa Wahnsinn” will also be presented
at, among other venues, Mülheim-Saarn, Düsseldorf,
Essen, Erkelenz, Haan, and Bad Ems. ■

PREMIÈRE
Germany’s first
Technical Park “Pegasus 16”:
Störzer’s “Black Out”
The ride project “Pegasus 16”
from Alexander and Sascha
Störzer, built by the Italian manufacturer
Technical Park, celebrated
its German première at
the Nürnberg Frühlingsfest.
Despite strong competition on
the fairground, the major ride
made a successful debut and
was very well received by the
public.

Black Out
It took quite some time until this ride type found
its way to Germany. In August 2000, the construction,
accommodating 30 passengers, celebrated
its world première in Lucca, Italy. Even
though German showmen repeatedly showed
interest in this attraction, this interest never
resulted in more than a visit to the Technical Park
premises in Melara. As a result, the large
version of the Pegasus ride, named after the
winged horse from Greek mythology,
“conquered” the whole world – except for
Germany. When a compact 16-seat version
became available last year, Alexander and
Sascha Störzer seized the opportunity and, with
a heavy heart, parted with their “Eclipse” in
favour of the new ride.
Ordering a new ride is often an experience not
for the faint-hearted, and this certainly proved to
be the case with the Störzer brothers decision.
The preview originally planned in Deggendorf,
Lower Bavaria, where the family wanted to get
used to their newly purchased ride and gather
detailed knowledge of its technology to be able
to skilfully operate the ride on its further tour, did
not work out smoothly.

PREMIÈRE
“Black Out” in action
INFO
The QR code to scan,
and on-ride video's from
Störzer’s “Black Out”:
The transports from Italy
reached the Nürnberg fairground
only at the very last
minute, yet the “Black Out”
made its rounds drawing the
visitor's fascinated gaze
punctually for the opening of
the event on Easter Saturday.
To begin with, the ride control
caused a lot of problems,
acting up at the end of the ride
and the required lowering of
the main arm. This was
remedied by a new version of a Simatic control
from Siemens. The most impressive feature was
the brilliant LED lighting that made the crowd
stop in their tracks. Moreover, the backflash was
not completed and provided at that stage. However,
the ride is now to be presented complete
with the backflash at the Schweinfurt Volksfest
for the first time. The response of the
passengers in Nürnberg (and at the subsequent
venue Bamberg) was positive. Due to the suspension
of the gondolas, passengers are
provided with a smooth and spectacular looping
experience, with the overlapping rotation of the
arm and the wheel quickly causing a feeling of

TIMELESS
At the première of
Pegasus in 2000, Karl
Ruisinger, Editor-in-
Chief of the Kirmes &
Park Revue described
the major ride as
follows:
“… It is best to compare
the ride with existing
ride types. At first
glance, the ‘Pegasus’
recipe in the guide to
international ride manufacturing
would read:
Take the well-tried
basic construction of
the Dutch ‘Top Scan’,
add the gondola wheel
of the ‘Evolution’ well
known in Italy and bring
it up-to-date with selflooping
passenger
gondolas that the
American ‘Chaos’ is
world-famous for, season
everything with a
good pinch of companies’
know-how –
and the new attraction
is ready to go. But stop!
Pegasus is far more
than simply a ride
thrown together from
well-known components.
It is a creation
with a character of its
own, freshly mixing
successful ride elements
and assembling
them into a successful,
truly unprecedented
novelty.”
■
disorientation. As the gondolas can be locked in
position all of a sudden from the control panel
during the ride, there is a
variety of ride sequences.
Moreover, the main arm can be
swung or moved by 360
degrees, resulting in a really
varied ride experience that
provides eye contact with onlookers
as the icing on the
cake. Many passengers were
so thrilled that they immediately
took a second ride.
The “Black Out” was built according to the new
DIN standard 13814 featuring, for example, the
latest RGB light technology that creates any
desired colour by the blending of the three
primary colours (red, green, and blue), powersaving
single-phase motors, the most up-to-date
eddy-current brake and comfortable shellshaped
seats made of carbon fibre, the material
of the future. As a result, the new ride also meets
the standards of security, energy efficiency, and
environmental-friendliness. The Störzer brothers
chose a dark science fiction theme for the ride's
design. Current plans for the backflash provide
for a futuristic cityscape beset by heavy hail and
thunderstorms. This theme is highly fashionable
and the colours white and green dominating the
Störzers’ ride perfectly match the theme. ■

Mega Fair

continuous rainfall this time
The Wuppertal Mayor Peter
Jung also joined the group

Umbrellas were an indispensable necessity for
the visitors to the 3 rd Wuppertal Mega Fair (9 th
to 12 th May), blighted with April weather with
rainfall, storms and low temperatures throughout
the event. This year, there was really no
sign of the merry month of May.
On Friday afternoon, the fair was opened by Peter
Fuhrmann, Chairman of the Wuppertal Schützenverein,
Albert Ritter, DSB President, and the
Wuppertal Mayor Peter Jung; all delivering short
speeches (with the sun still shining). The beer
tapping ceremony was followed by the traditional
stroll across the fairground and a ride on the
Ferris Wheel of the prominent guests. While the
fairground was well-attended in the afternoon, this
changed abruptly in the early evening hours.
When a high number of visitors awaiting the
opening fireworks display rushed the fairground
at about 7.30 p.m., a stormy wind was blowing,
accompanied by hail
showers and heavy rainfall,
and most of the
visitors left the fairground
in a hurry. The fireworks
display was then held in
light rainfall. While Saturday
suffered from storm
and rain, the weather was
dry on Sunday afternoon
and from midday all the
attractions were quite
crowded. Unfortunately it
was raining again in the
early evening hours, and also the Family Day on
Monday was virtually "washed away". Due to the
adverse weather conditions, visitor attendance
and turnover fell far short of expectations. The
attractions offered on the fairground conformed to
our detailed preview. As the artificial grass site
next to the stadium is no longer used as a football
pitch, it could be completely filled up with showman
attractions for the first time. The future use of
this site is currently being decided on, and there
is reason to hope that it will continue to be available
for the fair. All in all, the layout and the
occupancy of the fairgrounds in front of the
stadium, along the Wupper and next to the
stadium, left nothing to be desired. The Wuppertal
Showman Association did a good job in
organising and running the 3 rd Mega Fair, and
three weeks before its opening, the event was
heralded in an extensive poster and advertising
campaign in all local media.

TETEROW
A LOOK BACK
Text & Photo: Kai Morawetz
Teterow is the third largest city in
the Rostock district, located in the
centre of Mecklenburg, Western
Pomerania, and mainly known for
the annual motorbike races on the
Bergring, the largest natural grass
track for speedway races in
Europe.
Since 17 th May 1914, the Hechtbrunnen,
or Pike Fountain, with the
city’s symbol, the pike, has been
standing on the market square. 25
years ago, the 75 th anniversary of the
fountain’s unveiling was celebrated
with a Hechtfest, which over the years
has evolved into a fixture in the city’s
calendar of events. As a result, the
Teterow residents and guests from
the surrounding region celebrated the anniversary
“100 Years of the Hechtbrunnen” and the 25 th Hechtfest,
from 16 th to 18 th May this year. The festivities
began with a long procession, and on the festival
grounds on Schulkamp a small fairground was built
up, having been organised by the showman Frank
Rathsack for the first time this year. This year’s
selection of attractions on the fairground was more
appealing than last year, with the “Back to The
Future” Simulator (Heinerici-Upleger) making its
first time appearance and Taube’s “Wiener Sport
Rad” and the family coaster “Drache” from Thiede
returning to the event after a longer absence.
Moreover, visitors encountered the “Hot Cars”
dodgem track from Rathsack with some of its
chaises featuring striking new air brush artwork. In
contrast to the last few years, when a street lamp
constituted an obstacle, the front of the dodgem
track could now be completely unfolded at last.
The city authorities had now showed understanding
and had the street lamp moved by some metres.
While the Matterhorn “Tropical Jet” from Simmrow, a
popular guest and meeting point at the Hechtfest for
many years, was sadly missed – mainly by young
people – while the younger visitors could enjoy a Jet
Ride. Moreover, a colourful and varied family programme
was presented inside the Petra Taube's
beer tent throughout the event. Directly next to the
beer tent several snack booths and beverage outlets
were built up, with delicious fried sausages,
steaks and much more being offered at the “Grillmeister”
(Börner). Apart from several sweet stalls
there was also an appealing choice of all kinds of
concession stalls. Moreover, a row of handicraft and
market stalls selling an ample product range spread
over the rear section of the fairground. A brilliant fireworks
display, held on late Sunday evening, marked
the end of the 25 th Hechtfest.

attractions on this area, a
varied programme with live
concerts under the motto
“Rock & Pop” and attractive
ride constructions succeeded
in creating more of an
atmosphere and enticed a
considerably higher number
of visitors to the fairground
throughout the event. The
organisers succeeded in
engaging Steffen’s “Devil Rock”, along with the
“Alpha 1” “Breakdance” from Spain, Neigert’s
“Looping the Loop”, a Simulator (Tedesco), and a
dodgem track. Younger visitors were able to enjoy a
number of kiddie rides. The daily, free live concerts on
the small stage in the centre of the fairground were
not to everybody’s taste, however. The loud music
between the rides and the concession stalls made a
rather disconcerting impression on most of the
visitors and showmen, seriously affecting the showmen's
business, and did not bring about the hopedfor
increase in turnover. After just a couple of days one
of the showmen was fed up, dismantled his attraction
overnight and left! The opening fireworks display on
the first Saturday evening, the kiddie stage programme
on both opening Sundays and the “Super-
Wednesday” with reduced prices did not lead to the
hoped-for rush of visitors either. The posters heralding
the Volksfest were not very effective. They were too
small and hardly discernible among the countless
election posters that had been put up on almost every
street lamp. Due to the failures of the Volksfest events
on the Neuer Messplatz, the authorities and the Showman
Association have been searching for a new citycentre
fairground for some time. One can only hope
that they will find one soon, in order to prevent the
Heidelberg Volksfest events from declining into
insignificance and the Volksfest lights going out
forever.

AHLEN
Attractive occupancy
at the Maikirmes in Ahlen
Text & Photos:
Nils Bernthin
For more than 175 years, the
Maikirmes has been held in
Ahlen, Westphalia. This year,
the event was celebrated on Dr.
Paul-Rosenbaum-Platz for a
fully six days, from 1 st to 6 th May.
70 showman operations were
chosen from the applications
received. In addition to the
“Jekyll & Hyde” Propeller from
Thelen coming to Ahlen directly from its première
venue in Paderborn, there were also the “Number 1”
dodgem track (Isken), the “Colossus” Ferris Wheel
(Göbel), the “Formel Eins” dodgem track
(Schneider), the Musik Express (Schneider-Krause),
the “Breakdance” (Noack), and the “New World
3000” Simulator (Welte). Built up in the centre row as
further novelties for Ahlen were the “High Explosive”
coaster (Vorlop), and the funniest construction site in
the world “Krumm & Schiefbau” (Hartmann &
Söhne). Moreover, the younger visitors were able to
enjoy a chain ride, swing, track ride, kiddie carousel,
Jet Ride, and a western-style pony ride, with a
number of games and sales booths rounding off the
entertainment contingent. In the run-up to the event
there were discussions about alleged animal cruelty
at the pony ride. A social network “Flashmob” even
called for a demonstration, with protest signs and
banners in front of the pony ride. The police were
able to find the initiator who had deleted the entry
52

from the social network, after having been reminded
of the fact that a demonstration has to be registered
and that the police would take appropriate action if
necessary. District veterinarians inspected the pony
ride, and could not determine any violation of the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. The local newspapers
and television station, Lokalzeit Münsterland,
reported positively on the pony ride, and the Ahlen
Mayor Benedikt Ruhmöller, who pointedly paid a
visit to the Anton Keiser's pony ride during the
opening stroll across the fairground, also unequivocally
rejected the accusation of cruelty to animals.
Moreover, the authorities honoured Anton Kaiser for
his loyal participation in the Ahlen fair of many years
standing. After the opening
stroll across the fairground, the
May fair was opened on Thursday
afternoon by the mayor in
the presence of many guests of
honour, and a high number of
prizes was given away in a
lottery. Friday was the popular
Voucher Day under the motto –
pay once, ride twice, with a fireworks
display being held after
sundown, and Monday was the
designated Family Day with reduced fares and
special offers.

Rolf Orschel
For many decades the spring and summer fair
in the city in the south of Saxony-Anhalt was
held on the easily accessible fairground at the
indoor ice rink in the Halle-Neustadt district.
After the move of the summer fair to a
location near the market square proved disappointing
for participants, the city
authorities provided the showmen with a new
temporary venue in “Thüringer Park” at the
Justizzentrum this year, where the spring fair
was held from 5 th to 23 rd April.
Officially, the move to the alternative site was due
to dike construction works on the old fairground.
The old-established area at the indoor ice rink
was virtually ‘washed away’ by the flood last
June and thus will not be available as a fairground
for a long time. The area will now be used
as a storage yard for the building material for an
indefinite period of time. However, it remains to
be seen when the planned construction work will
actually begin. The new, temporary fairground is
located on the area of the former Thuringia
goods station, which was transformed into a
park and sports complex after 1991. As the new
fairground will be difficult to find due to a lack of
signposts, the showmen doubt that it will be as
well received by the Halle residents and guests
as the old one.
On the grassy fairground, visitors can be offered
only a limited entertainment contingent with
hardly any large rides, due to a lack of electricity
and water connections and the parks department’s
strict rules for protecting the grass. As a
result, visitors encountered only the “Spider” (H.
Meyer), “Jaguarbahn” (Neutzsch), the dodgem
track (W. Meyer), and the “Crazy Trip” Funhouse
(Probst). The younger visitors enjoyed a kiddie
carousel (Steinicke), “Super 8 Truck” (Katzschmann),
a Jet Ride (Schelauske) and Samba
(Eckstein). A number of snack, beverage and
games booths rounded off the selection of attractions.
The narrow fairground was laid out as
a rectangle with a centre row, accommodating
most of the kiddie rides.
Due to the park department’s rules the large
rides could be built up only in the entrance area
and in the right front row, so the left row was
occupied almost entirely by concession stalls.
Wednesdays were the designated family days,
and at the “Ladies Night” on Fridays from 7 p.m.,
all women paid only 1 Euro per ride. There was
no fireworks display as the igniting of fireworks
in the park and sports complex was not
authorised.

LANDSHUT

Ralf Schmitt
Thanks to the public holiday on 1 st May, this year’s Landshut
Frühjahrsdult on the Grieserwiese-fairground was open for 12
days – from 30 th April to 11 th May.
Visitors were able to enjoy many novelties and constructions
returning after a long absence, as well as many well-known
attractions. The overall image of the fairground was dominated by
the three tallest Dult attractions, the “Flasher” Propeller, the giant
“Around the World” ride, and the “Caesars Wheel” Ferris Wheel.
Further ride and track attractions at the Dult were the “Techno
Power”, “Super Hupferl”, “Fahrt zur Hölle”, “Cobra” coaster, “Free
Style”, “XXL-Krake”, two dodgem tracks, and the “Domino” Funhouse.
As is usual, they were joined by kiddie rides, games booths,
shooting galleries, Continental pick stands, sweets and sales
booths, as well as two large beer tents and varied snack booths
and beverage outlets (among others also a beer ride). Additionally,
there was also a merchant market with an ample choice of items
one either needs or doesn't. Due to mostly good weather throughout
the event, most of the participating showmen could well have
been satisfied with their financial results.

PIRMASENS
A LOOK BACK

Impressions of the
Pirmasens Maimarkt
As a general rule, the Maimarkt
in this Palatinate city is held from
the Friday before the first Tuesday
in May. If 1 st May is before this
Friday, the market begins on 1 st
May. In concession to a request
by the showmen, the city
authorities changed these rules
for this year only, and the market
opened its gates on 30 th April and
remained open until 11 th May.
Due to the short-term cancellation of a round ride,
Daniela Hartman, the market organiser in charge now
for several years, could put together only a small but
nonetheless appealing fairground, for which she
succeeded in engaging the “Alpha 1” UFO as a major
ride. Moreover, the “Tropical Trip” (Massel), the
dodgem track from Jockers and Massel’s “Beach
Polyp” were also available to the visitors, and the
younger visitors were able to enjoy a number of kiddie
rides. Several snack booths and beverage outlets, as
well as a couple of beer gardens, provided the visitors
with food and drinks. A colourful mixture of concession
stalls completed the attractions on offer. On Tuesday
and Wednesday a bric-a-brac market with some 100
market merchants was held in a section of the Blocksbergstraße
adjoining the fairground, and a brilliant fireworks
display in the late evening of the 2 nd opening
Sunday marked the end of this year’s May Market. Due
to cold and rainy weather, the final financial results of
the showmen were rather disappointing.

PRAGUE
Matejska Pout –
the spring fair in Prague
Text & Photos:
Ton Koppei
The traditional Prague Frühjahrskirmes
“Matejska Pout” – one of the oldest fair events
in Europe – was held from 1 st March to 21 st April.
Due to Easter being late in the calendar this year
however, quite a number of attractions left the
event already one week prior to its official end to
be ready to operate at another venue in Europe on
time. The fairground located behind the historic
exhibition building Vystaviste was laid out as usual
with many regular participants occupying their
traditional sites. Novelty attractions presented this
time were, among others, the “Der Burner” ride
from the German Meisel family, the “North Pole”
Funhouse and a strange open air course with mini
armoured vehicles. The “Sound Machine”,
popular in Prague for years now, made its rounds
under new management for the first time. It was
sold by Van der Beek to the Hoefnagel family from
the Dutch town of Swalmen. A water ride was
absent in Prague this year though. After a break of
several years, the go-kart track from the Fackler
firm was built up on its site. Also returning to
Prague after a long break was the Dutch multistorey
Ghost Ride “Thriller”. There were hardly any
changes and few novelties among the local participants,
however. Noticeable here was only a
well-kept typical 1970s style kiddie ride. While last
year’s event was characterised by low
temperatures and rain, the Matejska Pout event
enjoyed a lot of sunshine and spring-like temperatures.
Therefore, most of the participating
showmen were quite satisfied when they left the
Czech capital.

A LOOK BACK
KIRKCALDY LINKS MARKET
Much fun along the
promenade: Kirkcaldy Links
Market
Text & Photos: Owen Ralph
Do you know which Europe's largest street is?
According to the organisers, it is Kirkcaldy
Links Market. Staged by the Scottish Section of
the Showmen’s Guild of Great Britain, the event
also enjoys the bragging rights of Scotland's
biggest funfair.
An ancient royal charter grants permission for two
annual markets on the “Links” (seafront), in April
and October. Only the April event remains and it is
now a market in name only. Held traditionally in the
third week of the month, this year's fair ran from 16 th
to 21 st April, clashing with the Easter holidays.
Although one or two ride owners had regular Easter
commitments to fulfil instead, many others
travelled from across Great Britain to take up their
place in the 1km long stretch of amusements along
the town's Esplanade, facing the North Sea and the
Firth or Forth (just north of Edinburgh).
Surrounded by stunning coastline, Kirkcaldy itself
is not a particularly picturesque or prosperous
town, but the locals do turn out to support the fair
in good numbers and the showmen responded to
the current economic climate with offers such as
50p (€0.60) candyfloss or multi-token deals on the
Dodgems. But the popular rides can still command
a premium here, such as the Taylor family’s ‘Fairground
Attraction’ Waltzer, Abie Danter’s ‘Air’ Star
Shape and John J White’s ‘Move It’ Tagada.
Unlike Danter’s big budget attraction, the Tagada is
somewhat basic in presentation, lacking anything
special in the way of light or decor, yet thanks to its
boisterous ride experience and streetwise sounds,
the teenagers love it and were quite happy to part
with £5 (€6) for a ride at peak times. Further along
the promenade, Mr Danter also presented his
spinning Wild Mouse. Scotland's own M&D Taylor,
owners of M&D's Theme Park near Glasgow, were
back after several years' absence with their
Bomber Mark 2 (Booster XL) and Wild River Log
Flume, the weather being in favour of the latter
attraction. There was also a brand new Star Flyerstyle
attraction for visitors to enjoy, the Sky High
tower from Michael Wallis (manufactured by Mardi
Gras UK) and, for the kids, a Czech-built flying
Dumbo ride presented by Andrew Harniess.
56

Also featured in this year’s line-up were the following
attractions: Matador/Rodeo (Barker), Waltzer x
4 (Codona, Horne, A Taylor, J Taylor), Gallopers
(Colquhoun), Big Apple coaster (Gamble), Top Star
(Houghton), Tagada (Cubbins), Super Spin/
Experience (Sedgwick), Sea Storm/Happy Sailor
(Harniess), Dodgems x 3 (Horne, de-Koning, Miller)
Midnight Express (Johnstone), Speed Buzz/Fun
Factory (Wheatley), Miami x 2 (Wheatley, Horne),
Freak Out (Horne), Ice Maze (Wallis), Jumpin’/
Saltomontes (Gamble), Twister x 2 (Horne, White),
Booster (Thompson), Ghost Train x 2 (White, Miller),
Rotor (Sedgwick) and Fun House x 6 (Broughton,
Chadwick, Wheatley, Paris, Pullar, Wallis).
Down the bottom end of the fair, visitors could
enjoy a taste of yesteryear thanks to the vintage fairground
lorry, living wagon and steam engine presented
by preservationists Brian & Helen McGinley
and Alex Steele. As always, there was a model
show on Saturday organised by local enthusiasts,
who also award trophies to the showmen for bestpresented
equipment– the only British fair where
this happens. As well as categories for best ride
(Danter's Air) and transport (won by the Pullar
family's Fun House lorry), there was also a prize for
Trevor Dailey's traditional fairground games. For
those trying their luck on the various game stalls
across the fair, the “hot prize” for 2014 was without
a doubt the Minions (from the film Despicable Me).
The cuddly yellow characters were everywhere! ■

Rustic-style and maritime – these are the right
words to describe the new gastronomic
operation “Windstärke 13” from the Pluschies
firm that celebrates its première at the
Hamburg Frühjahrsdom.
The construction, built into a successful overall
arrangement from customized wooden elements
by the Schmäding firm, made its debut on the
space opposite the traditional coaster site on the
Dom-fairground. To the left and the right of the
front side there is a bar as well as a swing grill,
on the inside of the construction several rooms
and alcoves provide adequate seating possibilities,
and bar tables to enjoy food and drinks.
Access is also easily available to wheel chair
users. The most striking features are the crooked
façade design and a decorative lighthouse,
matching the name “Windstärke 13”. The
maritime character is impressively emphasized
by an original seaworthy fishing boat on the roof
of the construction.

Welcome back. Will you now be regularly appearing at Volksfest
events once again?
Yes and no. It's true, we will make guest appearances at several
fair events, but it's mainly exhibitions, city festivals and temporarily in
the Gelsenkirchen Zoo, as well as at the Pentecost Fair in Menden,
the Seehasen Festival in Friedrichshafen, the Hanse-Sail in Rostock
and either the Rhein im Flammen or the Harley Meeting in Hamburg.
How did you acquire this Langnese Happiness Station?
We have already been operating a solid version of this concept
in Münster for many years and have been closely working together
with the Langnese firm for 10 years already.
Okay, but what's so special about the mobile Happiness
Station?
This mobile version is uniquely unparalleled in Europe. It is a 10-
metre long Airstream trailer we bought and reconstructed together
with the Langnese firm. Three ice cream machines of the latest
generation were built in so that we can offer six flavours at the same
time. The counter has been equipped with two areas for the 50 different
toppings. Customers can watch the preparations of the ice cream
contrivances.
Which flavours do you offer?
Customers first choose their favourite flavour and then their five
toppings, which are included in the price. Then we mix a unique ice
cream contrivance from everything. Further toppings are available at
an extra charge. By the way, the dairy products are lactose and gluten
free, and it goes without saying that we will also offer milk shakes in
all variations. Furthermore, it won’t be long before the menu will also
provide for plain yoghurt with a free choice of toppings.

MODEL CONSTRUCTION
MODEL FAIR EXHIBITION IN NÜRNBERG
To mark its 125 th anniversary, the
Southern German Showman
Association also presented a
large nostalgic park with a
colourful and varied programme
during this year’s Nürnberg
Frühlingsvolksfest. A special
highlight of the programme was
a model fair exhibition, the form
and size of which has not been
seen in Bavaria before, held from
1 st to 4 th May.

Martin Jakubith from
Ansbach was the driving force
behind the Nürnberg exhibition
The Showman Association contracted the model
builder Martin Jakubith from the IG Kirmes &
Kirmesmodellbau firm from Ansbach in central
Franconia for the organisation and the layout of the
exhibition. Together with 7 other model builders – some
of them coming from as far away as Lower Saxony –
he succeeded in transforming the 300 m 2 exhibition
tent into a miniature fairground that was truly well worth
seeing. The high number of true-to-original models
and lovingly designed examples earned much praise
from the visitors, as well as the South German Showman
Association as well as the showmen who were just
as impressed by the miniature Volksfest.
With the true-to-original model of major ride “Ikarus”
from Mathias Prenzlow from Königslutter in the Helmstedt
district and the “Allround” from Uwe Rodloff from
Salzgitter still under construction, two fully-functional
1:14.5-scale models were presented. Additionally,
Ralph Walter from Heidelberg enthralled visitors with
1:32-scale models of a Ferris Wheel, a Rainbow, a
Breakdance and a Ranger, all making their rounds
framed by a part of an original Breakdance backflash.
Models of “Power Tower 2” and the “Space Party”, the
originals of which were presented at the Frühlingsfest
in Nürnberg at the same time, could be admired on the
model fairground from Thomas Peter from Roßtal /
Fürth district. These models are scaled down by 160
times and fit in the palm of a hand. The model builder
also presented a Ferris Wheel, a Breakdance, the
“Imperator”, “Magic Mountain”, “Santa Maria” and a
number of concession stalls; all of them fully-functional
The “Imperator” (1:160) from Thomas Peter
and elaborately illuminated 1:160-scale models.
Stephan and Uwe Hirschfeld from Bad Arolsen came
to Nürnberg with a true-to-detail and lovingly laid out
H0-scale fairground and presented, among other
exhibits, the elaborately illuminated and fullyfunctional
models of the “Commander”, “Hexentanz”,
“Daemonium”, Ferris Wheel, “Booster Maxx”, “Höllentaxi”
and “Octopussy”, as well as a number of
concession stalls built by small series manufacturers.
Andreas Ciupek from Rüsselsheim displayed a 1:87-
scale section from the Cannstatt Wasen with the fruit
column, three true-to-original beer tents reproduced
down to the smallest detail, the “Carat 2000” dodgem
track, “Revolution” Top Spin, “Geheimnisse des
Orients” Labyrinth, Cannstatt Wave-Swinger, and
several other attractions. From Frank Müller from
Moers in North-Rhine Westphalia visitors learnt that he
60

had brought his fully-functional 1:24-scale Musik
Express and dodgem track models to Nürnberg,
completely dismantled and loaded on the appropriated
baggage vans. He also had short stories to
tell them about the different scenes lovingly laid out
with Preiser figures.
On the H0-scale fairground from Martin Jakubith,
visitors were able to admire the elaborately designed
Faller models “Piraten Insel”, “Mammut Höhle”, Roller
Coaster, “Flipper”, “Freefall Tower”, the latter equipped
with brand new drive systems, and much more. It was
well worth taking the time to discover all the small
details at the attractions, on the fairground and behind
the scenes of the colourful facades. Moreover,
Thorsten Rodriguez-Fernandez from Fürth presented
his model fairgrounds in the large exhibition tent
throughout the Frühlingsvolksfest. On a space of
about 16 m 2 , he displayed a perfectly laid out street fair
event. Music played on all fairground models and live
announcements over the microphone enhanced the
atmosphere. The ride chip collections from Martin
Jakubith, Stephan & Uwe Hirschfeld, as well as
Thomas Peter, rounded off the interesting exhibition. At
the close of the exhibition, the model builders expressed
a decidedly positive assessment of the event.
The combination of the Nürnberg Volksfest, the
nostalgic park and the model fair exhibition was
perfectly organised by the Showman Association. Due
to the positive response, the South German Showman
Association announced their decision to stage the fairground
model exhibition again in the future. ■

Successful Conclusion for EU-Project “ett-edu”
Better Educational Chances for European Showman Youth
Consultation about the education of showman youth in Europe.
Education means the future. It's only those
who have a good education who have the
best chances in life. For this reason it's important
that the general conditions are extended
and improved also in the area of
the showman profession in Europe. The
unique European project "ett-edu" for professional
qualification for show-persons,
has successfully concluded after a two year
duration.
In Germany the school project BeKoSch (professional
competence for show-persons) has
been a successful model for many years. It
comprises of a combination of (career) school
attendance in winter and E-Learning in the
summer. During the season break participants
absolve an optimal-content programme
for the showman profession. The training
course can be continued during touring time
by way of E-Learning. Showman youth in
France and England will benefit from the positive
experience of their German colleagues.
The European Union patronised project “ettedu“
(European transfer of travellers' vocational
education) was founded in 2011. Its target
was the development of a European wide
concept for the professional education of
travelling youth. In this framework there are
already offers such as the adapted German
BeKoSch-courses that can also be also used in
France and England.
As a result during the last two years countryspecific
adaptations have been made in Lycée
Peltier in Ham, France, as well as at the Gloucestershire
College in England. Practical tests
have already been undertaken in Gloucester,
Herne und Bielefeld, and in January 2014 a
pilot course took place for travelling youth in
Bielefeld. Future expectations from participating
European countries France, England
and Germany, are the extension and promotion
of the communication and cooperation
structures.
The “ett-edu“ project is a part of the European
representation of showman associations,
schools and educational institutions. The German
ESU associations were represented by
Managing Director Frank Hakelberg (DSB)
und Werner Hammerschmidt (BSM). Following
the successful completion, the project
team is in complete agreement that there
should also be a continued exchange in the
future, and that the coordinated action over
national borders will have a long term effect
on the education of travelling children and
youth in Europe.

“Sinksenfoor”: ESU Substantiates Solidarity with
Belgian Showman Colleagues
Presidium meeting in Antwerp
Many showman problems on the agenda
Huge media interest during the press conference
The European Showman Union will continue
to battle intensively for the saving of
the “Sinksenfoor“. „Our fight is about the
safeguarding of the European Volksfest culture.
Our solidarity is with our Belgian colleagues“
said President Albert Ritter during
a presidium conference on the 15 th May
2014. The traditional fair “Sinksenfoor“ is
banned from the Antwerp inner city, and
from 2015 will be presented on a railway
property far away from the centre. Demonstrations
against this situation were made
by the Belgian showmen from March on.

with Belgian TV-station AVT. Centre: General
Secretary Steve Severeyns.
During the occasion the future regular presidium
meeting was chosen to be Antwerp.
Albert Ritter, Vice President Nicole Vermolen,
Franck Delforge, as well as the General Secretary
Steve Severeyns took part in the decision
making.
President Ritter appeared to be satisfied with
the formation of a commission comprising of
representatives of the city and the showmen.
It is time for mutual discussions “at eye-level“
in order to find a permanent solution, said
Ritter. The basic demand of the European
Countless journalists getting information during
the press interview of the ESU in Antwerp. Front left:
Vice President Franck Delforge.
Showman Union is still the fact that the fair
belongs in the city centre and not on the
perimeters of the city.
However there were also quite a number of
other current themes as well, such as the implementation
of the Europanorm 13814 for
ride constructions, the situation regarding the
European Volksfests as cultural heritage, the
education of showman children, transport
problems in Europe, reduced VAT, and the
entrance of showman vehicles into European
environmental zones.
“Sinksenfoor“ Top Theme at Press Conference
In the run-up to the presidium meeting, the
European Showman Union invited countless
press representatives from the media, radio
and television sectors for a press conference.
In addition to the current European showman
industry problems the main theme was naturally
the Sinksenfoor situation. Presidium
members had enough opportunities to present
the ESU position. President Ritter declared
in an interview with the Belgian TV channel
AVT: “The fairground tradition in Europe is
over 1200 years old and it can't be attacked by
simply casting it out from the city walls for no
good reason. We are fighting for a European
guideline for the protection of this old cultural
heritage, naturally also orientated on the city
of Antwerp in order to retain its fair and to protect
it.“

PORTRAIT
Unusual park fun for
both children and fans
begins behind the
Playmobil castle gates
The 40-year anniversary of Playmobil
is a great opportunity to
introduce the Playmobil FunPark
that opened at the turn of the
century, and has in the meantime
grown to a 90,000 square metres
size.
Text:

Sacha Szabo
Frank Lanfer
Playmobil FunPark
The Playmobil building
site is particularly popular
Located directly next to the company head office
in Zirndorf, it offers visitors the possibility to
plunge into the world of plastic figures. Whereas
the Geobra Brandstätter firm that produces
Playmobil can look back on a much longer and
older company history: the firm was founded in
1876, and in the early years it produced fittings but
already at the beginning of the twentieth century
the company concentrated on tin toys, which even
today are a collector's item. At the beginning of the
1950s, the young Horst Brandstätter joined the
firm and began to use the new material plastic
consistently.
In addition to large toys such as tractors, the hulahoop
rings (in concession from the Californian toy
manufacturer Wham-O Corp) became the first
large economic success. But there were also other
(useful) articles manufactured, such as for example
water-skis and flower pots.
The oil crisis at the beginning of the seventies
required a new direction. This time the product
had to be small, using little raw material. This was
the birth of the system-toy Playmobil, which was
created by Development Manager Hans Beck,
and presented for the first time at the toy exhibition
in Nürnberg in 1974. Within only a few months,
64

several million D-Marks turnover was achieved
with this new production line. One year later the
company began to export; these days around
70% goes abroad – since 1974 up to now, more
than 2.7 billion figures have been produced.
These historic points are helpful in discovering
and understanding some of the less prominent aspects
of the park – such as the Lechuza-plant
shop.
The main attraction however, around which everything
focuses at the Playmobil FunPark that
opened in 2000, is the 7.5 centimetres sized Playmobil
figures...or more precisely: everything
focuses on the small visitors who visit because of
these figures. The park is considerably different to
other amusement or theme parks, so there are no
large attractions, and ride constructions are
searched for in vain. The park has the charm of a
huge adventure playground with Playmobil theming,
which makes it also remarkable in another
aspect: there are almost no supervisory personnel.
Supervision is left to the parents – as is the
case on normal playgrounds. Insofar children less
than 12 years of age are only allowed entry in the
company of an adult. Due to the many attractive
water areas and water playgrounds in the park,
this can be considered as a little reckless. Nevertheless
it all appears to function well: children have
a lot of fun at the park and happily there has never
been any unusual accident to report in the 14-year
history of FunPark.
Visitors enter the park through a castle gate next
to the huge glass Playmobil-city where small visitors
can play with the Playmobil-sets, and arrive
first in an area where large construction machines
stand, which the children can take over. From
there the tree house can be reached, and also the
three core areas with which Playmobil FunPark
began: the pirate ship, the knight's castle, and
Western City. Everything in these areas can be
entered and climbed on, and it's here that the
distinctive features of park can be seen, laid out
especially for children. The knight's castle or the
pirate ship can be explored, which already stand
in children's rooms as a Playmobil model. Whether
as pirate captain on the lookout of the pirate ship
or as rival knight climbing the knight's castle, at
FunPark children can experience great adventures
in the XXL-playground world that they know from
home. Additionally the life-sized Playmobil figures
are a great atmospheric decoration that can be
well integrated into their games, although life-sized
in this case means the size of a child. There are
many lovingly created details that are a feast for
the eyes such as the crocodile in the castle moat,
the cute dinosaur baby or even the life-sized Playmobil
cow that can even be milked.

In addition to these specific
Playmobil-themes there is also
an area that has been designed
to promote the motor skills of
children, with a particularly
large example of the well-known
Okta-climbing nets, a balancing
course, a sliding slope, and
even a water playground area.
Newly added in 2013 were the
power-paddleboats that have to
be brought into action by the
guests themselves.
Also remarkable: apart from the
18-hole mini-golf course everything on offer can
be used free of charge, even those type of attractions
that cost extra at other parks. This means
specifically that even the gold mine where small
gemstones and "gold nuggets" are sifted out of the
sand can be played in without any prior booking.
Even the vending machines that produce the popular
squeezed coins are free. Horst Brandstätter
described this park philosophy on the occasion of
his 80 th birthday in an interview: "With the family
friendly prices at FunPark I can give the kiddies
and their families something back, and simultaneously
work against the omnipresent lack of
exercise." This concept is one of the reasons why
the park last season was able to entice over
710,000 visitors! The Playmobil-Aparthotel also
belongs to the park since 2002, and offers 28
family rooms, an active-park with board games in
XL format, and mini-golf. Another facility is the
HOB-Centre (named after the Manager of the firm
Horst Brandstätter), which is a 5,000 square
metres sized large light-flooded indoor hall with
café, a large play and climbing area, a disco and
a small exhibition that rounds off what's on offer,
so that even adults can enjoy a programme while
the children discover "their" toy worlds. This indoor
area is open until 10 p.m. and together with the
bordering beer garden offers a varied programme
also in the evenings – for example the WM-football
transmission on a large screen.
66

It is a park that is of a distinctive character when
compared to others, and caters to the wants and
wishes of children. For adults whose children have
fallen victim to Playmobil fever, FunPark is a must!
But a visit to the park is also recommended for
adults who simply want to go back to enjoy the
playing world of their childhood. It is simply
delightful for example to discover the Noah's Ark
theme area and to experience the small toy figures
in a large size for once.
Playmobil FunPark is less ideal for the thrill seeker
– until now at least. The new product row "Amusement
Park" was introduced in April with a Ferris
Wheel, chain ride, Swing Boat and Breakdance,
so it's an appealing thought that these types of real
ride constructions may well move into FunPark
very soon. Whether or not this series is to be continued
with perhaps a Playmobil coaster that was
produced as a licensed product for the Japanese
market in 1989, is still unknown.
The Playmobil FunPark located near Nürnberg
may be the largest, but it's not the only one: other
(indoor) FunParks are located in the USA, France,
Greece, and Malta. In some cases entrance is
even free; in Germany a day ticket can cost up to
11 Euro, depending on the season. ■

Andrea Kolar (IAAPA Europe)
More than 110 members from 20 countries responded
to the invitation and enjoyed the carefree
park atmosphere in the best of summer weather
until late in the evening hours – and naturally also rides
on the new Looping-Launch-Coaster "Helix" from Mack
Rides (see KPR 6/2014).
This year's forum was entirely dedicated to the subject
safety with the IAAPA Europe Safety Committee under
the management of Paul Chatelot, the Director Prevention
& Safety at Disneyland Resort Paris, informing
all participants about the latest results and experiences
of the importance of safety in the theme park
branch. In a number of brief presentations various
methods for the resolution of problems were offered.
The start was made by Kenneth Berndtsson (Liseberg’s
Head of Technical & Safety Operations) and
Daniel Lindberg (Liseberg’s Attractions Manager),
who reported about the safety measures undertaken
during the construction of the new "Helix" coaster
during ongoing park operation.
Janne Wahlstedt is the expert regarding kiddie playgrounds
and was responsible for the safety of last
year's Liseberg novelty "Kaninlandet". He pointed out
the dangers, precautionary methods, and test criteria
in order to make kiddie playgrounds safe. He advised
that playgrounds in a theme park have, legally seen,
not as stringent safety requirements to comply to, as
publicly accessible areas. Therefore there are many
possibilities to create a lot of fun for the kids. However,
he suggested another alternative, namely that parks
68

should be considerably safer than city playgrounds.
David Bomilow (Drayton Manor’s Park Operations
Manager) and Anders Fridehall (Liseberg’s Director of
Safety) reported about the precautions and preparations
for large (musical) events, the so-called
"Crowd Management".
Thomas Rydahl (Tivoli Garden’s Security Director) introduced
as an example the safety and evacuation
plans for Copenhagen's Tivoli, well known as an inner
city evening event location.
The concluding "Learning Session" informed about the
technical prerequisites and measures taken, in order
to make it possible for people with disabilities to
participate in theme park amusement.
Andreas Andersen (Liseberg’s CEO) lectured about
the accessibility to his park. He emphasised also the
special status of the "Liseberg Model" that is a company
owned by the city of Göteborg under public law,
and which is aware of its social responsibility towards
its fellow man.

Gianni Ghiari (EAASI, the European
Association Amusement Supplier
Industry, and ANCASVI, the
Italian association of the amusement
industry) reported about the
practical implementation by the
Italian manufacturers. He also
stressed the correctness and importance
of an international uniform
standard norm in the amusement
area, and the difficulties
along the way. The final result
should be presented during the
upcoming EAS Expo 2014 in Amsterdam.
Har Kupers (COO Vekoma Rides)
Paul Chatelot (Disneyland Resort
Paris) emphasised that his company
as market leader has a particularly
large responsibility in relation
to safety questions: "We reinvest
in protection. Safety is our
governance and part of our culture."
He brought attention to the
fact that there is a responsibility to
the Walt Disney ideals, which even
informed shortly about the different national and international
standards such as ASTM, EN 13814, DIN and
ISO, and the necessity for international harmonisation.
He emphasises in particular the new and very
controversial in Germany EN 13814, which replaces
the usual DIN 4112. It was compiled over a 12-year
working period with 28 European countries participating
under the supervisory chairing of Gianni Chiari
(EAASI) and Vice-President Mike Withers (Disney).
Kupers also mentioned the prospect that each
in those days welcomed all country could have it own "National Deviations" – probably
people, in particular children and
also in relation to the current lively resistance of
the disabled.

TEA/AECOM THEME INDEX 2013
Text:
Graphics:
Margreet Papamichael
(AECOM Europe)
TEA / AECOM
Theme park, water park and museum numbers
for the calendar year 2013 showed substantial
growth internationally, with the top Northern
American parks surpassing pre-recession
days, water parks emerging in Latin America,
Asia continuing to surge forward in numbers,
and the Middle East resuming development
activity.
In Europe, 2013 shows a divide between the
performance of Northern European parks and
Southern European parks. The former were in a
better position largely due to a strengthening
economy and good weather. The United Kingdom
tourism sector had a fantastic year, but Southern
European parks were prevented from reaching
their full potential due to the ongoing challenging
economic situation there (tax increases, salary
cuts, Euro uncertainty, etc).
72

TEA and AECOM
Methodology
This is the seventh annual Theme Index collaboration
between the Themed Entertainment Association
(TEA) and AECOM, although the study
itself has been in existence for much longer. It
began as an attendance report of major US theme
parks, produced by ERA (now part of AECOM)
and a no longer existing trade magazine. Over the
years, this study evolved to add water park figures,
address the international scope of the
industry, and include the Museum Index.
AECOM starts by asking the individual parks,
museums and multi-park-attraction operators to
provide us with their attendance figures and many
of them provide us with this information. We ask
for the number of paid (!) visits to the park in that
calendar year. Clearly, this is different for the
museums where we ask for the number of visits
(regardless whether paid or not).
Where we do not receive specific park-museumlevel
figures from the operator, we use a detailed
73

methodology that considers the following: historic
attendance trends, generally available information
on the park/museum, park changes, (such
as new rides, areas, shows, ticket prices, intellectual
property connections, etc), general economy
of the nation and the metro area, tourism trends
nationally and in the metro area, weather trends in
the area, (particularly during peak periods), the
performance of nearby parks/museums and other
attractions.
Finally operators are also given the opportunity to
review and comment on AECOM’s estimate before
the Theme and Museum Index is finalized and published.
Of those that don’t provide official figures at
the park level, many do provide us with general
feedback on our estimates in order to keep them
in the general ballpark of actual performance, even
if they won’t go on the record as doing so.
As the leading provider of business planning studies
worldwide for attractions with a 50 year history,
we also work frequently with all of the major operators,
parks, and museums, providing us with
the opportunity to periodically update our estimates
with actual figures.

“TEA/AECOM Global Attractions Attendance Report
2013” can be downloaded free of charge as

LAS VEGAS HIGH ROLLER
Las Vegas is considered to be a
city of the superlative, so it was
only a question of time that a
Ferris Wheel would also be
erected there with unimaginable
dimensions.
Text & Photos: Ton Koppei
The gondolas almost have
the elegance of the London Eye
– no wonder as they were also
produced by Leitner-Poma firm
During the past years there were projects presented
repeatedly – and sometimes there was
even talk of two huge wheels for Las Vegas. Definite
until now however is only the "High Roller" wheel that
opened in March 2014, which with a height of 167
metres is currently the world's highest.
As comparison: the world record up until now is 165
metres for the "Singapore Flyer", whilst the famous
"London Eye" measures 135 metres.
Responsible for the planning was the London firm
Arup Engineering, and the complete project was
realized by The Hettema Group. Companies involved
in the construction came from France,
Sweden, the USA, Germany and the Netherlands.
The wheel offers 28 cabins, each of which can
accommodate up to 40 (!) passengers, with eight
drives providing the rotation. For a 30 minute ride
on the new "High Roller" passengers currently pay
27 US dollars during the day and 37 dollars in the
evening.
The wheel that is visible from quite a way away is
located not far from the world famous Las Vegas
Strip, which is filled with huge hotels and casinos.
As the wheel is however around 200 metres from
the Strip, a new access street has been built. There
are countless bars, restaurants and shops located
in "The Ling". Operator of the complete complex is
the Caesars Entertainment Corporation.
Currently Ferris Wheel projects are a hot subject in
the USA. As a result the huge wheel in Orlando,
operated by the Merlin-concern will also open this
year, and the next world record will apparently be
set by a wheel in New York very soon.
At the moment there is a construction stop for the
time being for another large Ferris Wheel project in
Las Vegas: the two huge supports of the "SkyVue"
are already standing directly opposite the casino
Mandalay Bay at the southern end of the Strip near
the airport. However for more than a year now the
local project developer Howard Bulloch has
stopped building, apparently due to financial
difficulties. The latest announcement is that the 152
metres high wheel will however be completed by
the middle of 2015.
Directly next to the "SkyVue" construction site the
LIM-Shuttle-Coaster "Speed The Ride" from Premier
Rides, intended originally to be an outstanding
attraction for the Sahara Hotel between 2000 and
2011, should to reopen in 2013. However as the
projected shopping complex Atika Plaza for which
the almost 70 metres high coaster was to be an eye
catcher has also not been realized yet. Currently
the individual coaster track parts are rusting in a
parking area.

AQUALAND MASPALOMAS

Polin
There are two water parks on Gran Canaria – and
another will be erected in 2016 by the Kiessling
family, owner of the Loro Parque and Siam
Park. Reason enough therefore for the Spanish
Grupo Aspro-Ocio S.A. (Aspro Parks), in existence
since 1991 and operator of 41 attractions
in Europe (for example the Alpamare taken over in
2000), to extend its own water park on the Canary
Island.
New since this season is the "Racer Twin Turbulence"
water slide from manufacturer Polin, which
is a double construction of the well known and
breathtaking Halfpipe similar slide, placed next to
each other, and affords an attractive racing
character.
The starting platform has a height of 19.3 metres,
and during the simultaneous start the two-seat
tubes initially disappear into a black-hole sequence.
In this dark figure-8-element the slide ends
already deliver a race that flows into a grandiose
almost 40° steep launch into the daylight. On the
other side the rafts climb the steep wall before sliding
down with airtime, landing in the basin after an
airtime hill. Each side has a 156 metres length and
a top speed of up to 52 km/h. The theoretic capacity
is 480 passengers per hour.
In addition to a dozen water slides, Aqualand
Maspalomas also offers a large wave pool, the almost
one kilometre long Lazy River "Congo River",
and a bathing landscape for children.
The daily admittance price into Aqualand Maspalomas
is relatively high: in addition to the ticket for
25 Euro there are additional costs such as for
example 4 Euro for a locker, and 6.50 Euro for a
lounger with umbrella. Swimming with a seal is
offered as an up charge-attraction and costs 52
Euro including a souvenir photo.

HOLIDAY PARK
The theme Angry Birds continues
to boom and is very popular
with children in almost all age
groups. Even young adults don't
evade this motive and so it's almost
developed to a necessity to
allow these birds to fly into
theme parks. Surprisingly however
even Thorpe Park, known
up until now as a thrill park, has
also decided to use this theme.
Text & Photos: Wolfgang Payer
Thorpe Park located near London aims to entice
children with this action, as the typical age
group of other parks within the Merlin Group –
Legoland Windsor and Chessington World of
Adventures – are already adults.
As a result the "Angry Birds
Land" opened on the 24 th of May.
The new area is located at the
rear end of the park. Those who
enter "Angry Birds Land" can
also discover a game of skill in
Angry-Birds outfit to the left and
right of the entrance. On the left
side there is a shop and a 35 m
Freefall Tower.
The Drop Tower from Italian firm
Fabbri that opened in 2001 has
been re-themed and has been
given a fitting name: "Detonator:
Bombs Away". To the right of "Angry Birds Land"
there is a dodgem from Italian manufacturer
Bertazzon with the name "King Pig’s Wild Hog
Dodgems".
80

The main attraction "Angry Birds 4D" from Simworx
is located in the centre of the new area. Although
the theme contents don't basically offer a lot of
opportunity for a film, the overall concept of the
attraction has been very successfully implemented.
At the beginning of the film viewers are made
to take note of the water effects.
And rightly so, as there is no other 3D or 4D film,
typically English, that uses water effects so extensively
than this one. The seat rows can be
tipped forwards and backwards, in order to emphasise
downed birds in a sling. Light, wind, and
soap bubble effects round off the very action
packed film. The new "Angry Birds Land" is without
a doubt a very good and successful investment
for Thorpe Park.

EFTELING

The position of Park Manager remained vacant
for seven months, and it's only now that the successor
to Bart de Boer, who has shown the door
in September 2013, has been newly appointed.
And he wants to signal a new era for the already
successful theme park. Fons Jurgens is his
name, and he is 44 years old. Before taking up
his new office in April 2014, he was Marketing
Manager of the park in the Netherlands.
Under his management Efteling is planning a stepby-step
extension into an international destination
with five million visitors annually. To implement these
plans Efteling is investing around 36 million Euro in
the first phase, amongst others for the extension of
the 2009 opened holiday park "Bosrijk". "Efteling is
one of the largest theme parks in Europe and has
set a target to remain among the top parks in the upcoming
years. Therefore a continued increase in our
visitor numbers is necessary" explained Jurgens.
"Hence we will be making further purposeful investments
in the park. The improvement of already
existing attractions and shows, the merchandising
offers, and the gastronomy are central aspects.
Additionally we will be opening a 37.5 metres high
Dive Coaster in the summer of 2015 from B&M."
Last year there were around 4.2 million visitors to
Efteling, and there will also be a number of novelties
for them this year as well: Cinderella and a dragon
Apps will accompany guests through the park in a
number of languages. And the Intamin water
attraction "Piraña" existing since 1982, and which
carries off visitors to the world of the Aztecs, Mayas,
and Incas, has been radically renovated and
extended for 2 million Euro; among others there are
now a new course network and interactive elements
to spray the riding guests. Earlier the Darkride
"Droomvlucht" as well as a restaurant were generally
overhauled.
In addition to the appointment of Fons Jurgens to
Chairman of Efteling, Saskia van Opijnen-Zwart und
Heleen Dura-van Oord join the Supervisory Board;
the last mentioned is also partner of the financial
investor Peak Capital.

EURO PARK IDROSCALO
In April, Euro Park Idroscalo, a
small amusement park located
at the gates of Milan, opened the
World's first "Condor Starflyer"
to the public.
Text & Photos: Matteo Crepaldi
The famous ride, which first opened as a classic
32 metres high Huss "Condor" at German
Phantasialand in 1986, was then relocated to the
Italian amusement park in 2009. The name “Condor”
and the original Mexican theme remain the
same, as well as the giant Phantasialand logo on
the thin tower shaft.
In November 2013, a group of small Italian companies,
led by Metalpark and including Nuova
Elektron and Safety Attraction, started work to give
new life to this old classic. The gondolas were
removed in order to affix a gondola cross with 12
double "Starflyer" type of suspended seats (and
with the option of up to 24 double seats). Additionally
the rotational speed has been slightly
increased.
The ride cycle begins with a slow ascent up to
about a third of the overall height. After a few seconds,
rotation starts and the ride begins to move
upwards again. Once the highest level is reached,
the rotational speed increases to its maximum.
After about a minute, the rotation decreases to its
initial level and descent begins. At approximately
one third of the height there is another pause to
allow rotation to stop, and finally the seats are
lowered back into the station.
The restraint system comprises of a horizontal
metal bar affixed to the seat by a rubber covered
steel chain, and by a three point seat belt. An
interesting fact is that this is the only ride of its kind
to have a clockwise rotation whilst all other existing
"Starflyer"-similar constructions spin counter
clockwise.
All in all, the "Condor Starflyer" offers ride fun for
the whole family. Due to its height and the high
rotational speed, it can be quite a thrilling experience,
however it is still not too intense.
2014 will certainly be an important year for Euro
Park Idroscalo, which is celebrating its ten year
anniversary of new ownership, and in addition to
the "Condor Starflyer", is also operating another
new ride (Haunted Walkthrough), as well as
undertaking many improvements to existing attractions.
