KALEIDOSCOPE
BEACH BALL
Presented: The “Beach
Ball” game booth, Damian
Traber and Franziska Koch
AWARD
Text & Photo: Michael Petersen
In a ceremonial act at
the city hall on fairground
Monday, showman
Hans Göbel was
honoured for his merits
to the largest fair on the
Rhine by the Düsseldorf
Mayor Conzen.
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
At the Maimess in Mannheim,
Damian Traber and
Franziska K och fr om
Freiburg celebrated a
successful première with
their brand ne w electr o-
nic “Beac h Ball” ball
throwing attraction, b uilt
by the Dietz firm.
Due to its “beach” theme,
with the front area featuring motifs of the popular
beach sport, painted by Daniel Geibel, the
spacious wagon makes a highly appealing impression.
The lighting is a combination of LED
and neon lighting, so that the single letters of the
name sign can shine in different colours, and to
the right and the left of the attraction there are
two decorative palm trees. All in all, there are five
differently coloured games tables, each of them
with five holes that have to be scored by the
balls. Once a ball falls into a hole, the number of
points is shown on an electronic display in the
upper section and there is a sound effect. If a
ball hits the hole in the middle, the player has
free choice. However, there is a rotating disc in
front of each hole, so that there are only a couple
of seconds to hole a ball.
Before the new attraction was purchased,
Damian Traber performed in his parents’ stunt
show, and Franziska Koch worked in her father’s
travelling gastro operation after she had
successfully served her apprenticeship. This
year, “Beach Ball” has already been, and will still
be presented at, among other venues, Goslar,
Geldern, Passau, Kapfham, and Erbach. ■
HAPPY CARS
Text & Photos:
Kai Morawetz
In an entertaining
speech, the Worms
showman expressed his
thanks for the long-term
cooperation with the city
authorities and the
Schützen. He gave an
outline of his career as a
showman and gave
special thanks to his
wife Christine and his
family.
■
The newly purchased “Happy Cars” kiddie ride
from Petra Hadlok from Güterfelde went into operation
in Potsdam.
According to the of owner the attraction, mounted on a
wagon was ordered at the GeRe-Games Ltd and built in
Slovakia according to DIN EN 13814. For Petra Hadlok,
the most important considerations for the purchase were
the kiddie carousel’s compact dimensions and its low
total weight of 2,500 kg, due to which it can be quickly
relocated with a larger regular motor vehicle or a van.
Further decisive features were the short build-up time of
only 2 hours and the small diameter of 8 metres. The
mounts in the shape of various vehicles and animals
accommodate 20 passengers. Due to the LED-lighting,
the carousel has electrical requirements of only 5 kW.
Petra Hadlok tours “Happy Cars” throughout the east of
Germany. The tour schedule included the Hanse Sail in
Rostock and the Rudolstadt Vogelschießen. ■

30 YEARS TELSTAR BLUM
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
For 30 years, Thomas Blum from Kaiserslautern
has been touring the “Telstar” Twister.
The ride was built in 1972 by the French Reverchon
firm for Fritz Becker from Kaiserslautern and was
also under the ownership of Hans Becker, before it
came to Thomas Blum after some 12 years. Every
winter break, the ride’s visual appearance and
technology are overhauled. Last winter, for
example, the 12 gondolas, the visors and the arms
were newly painted. Moreover, the electronic components
were replaced and the construction was
partially rewired, and it will not be long before the
centrepiece will also be newly painted. As a result,
the immaculately maintained Twister, which is now
42 years old, is always presented in excellent condition.
The ride is built up, dismantled and
relocated by Thomas Blum and operated by his
daughter Nancy, who has been the manager for the
“Telstar” for some time. The ride is a regular guest
at events in the south west of Germany, first and
foremost in Rhineland-Palatinate, the Saarland and
Hessen.

APPEAL TO OUR READERS
With the outbreak of the Fir st W orld W ar in
August one hundred y ears ago, the sho wman
industry also f ound itself in a dramatic
situation, as most of the Volksfest events were
either cancelled or at least subject to considerable
restrictions, as well as man y other
reasons imposed by the conflict.
Dr. Michael H. Faber, freelance editor of the
Kirmes & Park Revue of many years standing, is
currently investigating – for the first time in cultural
science – the situation of the showmen and Volksfest
events in the four war years. The Kirmes & Park
Revue will present the results of his efforts in an
extensive article. As there are hardly any photos
on this topic available in the archives, the Kirmes
& Park Revue would like to call upon the readers
for assistance. Urgently sought are privately
owned photos of exhibitions and fairgrounds, as
well as other documents concerning the showman
industry during the war years 1914 to 1918.
Photos and documents in jpg-format, with a minimum
resolution of 300 dpi can be sent to the editor
by email at ralf.schmitt@gemiverlag.de up until
late October 2014. Submissions can also be sent
to the editor by post. Original photos and documents
will be returned immediately after processing.
It goes without saying that the sources of the
photos and documents will also be published. All
the participants will receive a free copy of the
relevant Kirmes & Park Revue issue.

KALEIDOSCOPE
DONKEY KONG
Michael Schottenloher’s
newly purchased attraction
“Donkey Kong”
CRAZY TRIP
With regar d to the
article about the revival
of the “Crazy Trip” Walkthrough
construction
(Kirmes & P ark Re vue
No. 204, page 60), showman
Lutz Hofmann from
Rudolstadt inf ormed
us:
“The Geisterhölle was
built exclusively according
to my own ideas and
by the mentioned craft
enterprises in 1988, and it
was the first two-storey
Walkthrough construction
in the GDR.”
■
Text & Photo: Helmut Bresler
At the Erlangen Bergkirchweih,
Michael Schottenloher celebrated
the première of his transportable
c limbing gar den “Donke y
Kong”, the onl y type of this
attraction in the whole of
Germany.
On Family Day, he was hardly able
to cope with the crowd in front of
his attraction, due to the rush of
visitors. The first owner, Dutch
showman Klaas Verwijk from Amsterdam (see Kirmes
& Park Revue, August 2012), sold the construction to
the Belgian showman enterprise Michielsen-Boonen.
When Michael Schottenloher saw the attraction on
the Internet, he immediately contacted the owner.
Initially, the deal did not seem to work out as they
could not agree on the price. However, Michael
Schottenloher could not put aside the idea of an
experience course with a jungle decoration in the
style of the highly popular climbing gardens.
Eventually, a contract was entered into, and the construction
– so far transported on a trailer – was
changed in order to meet German statutory requirements
and recommendations, and specifically the
latest DIN standard 13814, as its owner informs us.
Along the 50-metre course, over hill and down dale,
visitors have to negotiate various obstacles such as
the balance beam and the chicken ladder, as well as
suspended and bouncing bridges. Every child is
secured by a solid safety chain, which is fastened
with the combined belt at the start and accompanies
every visitor on a guide rail through the adventure
course. As is to be expected in the jungle, various
animals are lurking along the course, amongst them
snakes, spiders, and crocodiles as life-size decoration
elements. The “Donkey Kong” has a front of 11
metres and is 9.5 metres deep with backflash. Its
name refers to a video game figure highly popular
with children. Further effects are currently being
prepared. Michael and Janet Schottenloher also
continue touring their historic fairy-tale carousel, as
well as the “Tool Time” hi-striker.

DSCHUNGEL TRIP
Andreas and Lena Schultze
and their kiddie track ride
“Dschungel Trip”
Text & Photos: Kai Morawetz
Andreas and Lena Schultze from Berlin purchased
the “Dschungel Trip” kiddie track ride from Manuel
Freiwald this spring.
The kiddie ride with a 3.50-metre high and 14-metre long
backflash spreading over the entire length of the ride was
built by the SBF firm in Italy in 1994. Due to its compact
dimensions the attraction requires only a small centre
trailer with twin axles. As loading the additional large paybox
is quite tedious, a new trailer – which is to be rebuilt
for transporting the second paybox during the winter –
has already been purchased. Before the Schultze family
started touring the attraction (the first venue was the
Baumblütenfest in Werder on Havel), it was partially overhauled.
The capped bulbs were replaced by LED-lights,
the running gear of the centre trailer was overhauled, and
a new crossbeam was mounted for the draw bar. Moreover,
large soft toys and a number of plants were
purchased as additional decoration elements. During
the winter break all vehicles are to be newly painted, and
a short waterfall is to be built into the attraction. The
kiddie track ride has a front length of 14 metres, is 7-
metre deep, and has electrical requirements of 10 kW. ■

7 years, the Volksfest will once
again begin with the tapping of the
keg. Ever since 2007, the tapping
of the keg in the “Dinkelacker” tent
by the Lord Mayor had been postponed
to the evening hours, so
that the Volksfest opening could
be broadcast live by the SWR-TV,
although the rides on the fairground
had already been making
their rounds since 3 p.m. and beer
galore was already being served
at all beverage outlets as well as in
the Wasen tents. Indeed, in the last
few years, the breweries and
publicans had all laid claim to the
first keg tapped, and celebrated
their own pre-openings; this leading
to confusion and getting quite
out of hand. So now the Stuttgart
Lord Mayor Fritz Kuhn will tap the
very first keg on Friday, 26 th September
punctually at 3 p.m., and in
front of the other tents, heralds will
sound their bells for the official
beginning of beer consumption. At
the same time, a fireworks display
is to be held at the fruit column –
as could be read in the announcement.
One can only hope that the
organisers have taken into account
the fact that it will still be as
bright as day at this time of the
day!
Shameful Scenes 2013
The Cannstatt Volksfes

Stuttgart
Once a gain, as man y as 4 million visitor s are
expected to visit the largest Swabian fair, the
Canstatt Volksfest in Stuttgart. The 169 th Volksfest
on the Wasen-fairground – this year accompanied
by the “Landwirtschaftlichen Hauptfest” agricultural
fair according to an annual rotation – will
be opened on Frida y, 26 th September and celebrated
up until Sunday, 12 th October.
There will be an important change to the opening
ceremony on Friday. For the first time after a break of
Hopefully, the early opening will
also prevent last year’s shameful
scenes when drunken visitors
drowned Lord Mayor Fritz Kuhn’s
speech by whistling, shouting
loudly and sometimes insulting
him in the worst possible manner,
or at the very least prevent such
scenes from being broadcast live
to all the households in the SWR
broadcasting area. This time, the
regional SWR television station contented itself with a
report in the Landesschau programme on the evening
of the opening day. Andreas Kroll, chairman of the
organising in.Stuttgart firm commented, “I wanted to
have an opening, at the time the event is really
opened”, and regarding the missing live television
coverage he added, “There will be a two-hour SWR
programme on the Volksfest a week later instead. All
in all, this is a sensible solution.” On 22 nd August, the
Stuttgarter Nachrichten published a long article on the

The site map 2014
(subject to change)
“Volksfest opening” topic, and the newspaper also
reviewed the SWR channel 3 live television coverages
from 2007 to 2013 in a humorous and scathing
commentary, “The regional television station broadcast
a 90-minute live coverage from inside the beer
tent – in a time slot well-known for generally succumbing
to music. For this reason the SWR television
station had announced that there would only be a live
coverage if there were “seven folk music top acts”.
The city authorities responded, “It is not only the hour
of folk music but also the Volksfest opening,” and
insisted on local acts, such as the “Zauberer Topas”
and the “Wirtschaftswunder” live band. In the following
years, mood music retaliated, with the SWR proving
true the ironic 'industry wisdom' “Three eyes see
better than two.” After all, once the SWR audience was
younger than the leading actors. Thus the audience
learnt that Heino was still alive, Tony Marshall was still
able to thrust his hands up melodramatically to the
sky, and the "Wildecker Herzbuben" duo had not yet
burst onto the scene. So much for the Stuttgarter
Nachrichten! One last thing on the topic of “SWR and
Cannstatt Volksfest”; recently an original sticker from
1977 has been found in the Kirmes & Park Revue
archive showing the “Äffle und Pferdle” (little monkey
and little horse) – the popular cartoon figures from the
Süddeutsche Rundfunk (now Südwestrundfunk, or
SWR) – advertising the “Canstatt Volksfest mit Landwirtschaftlichem
Hauptfest 1977”. And we already
have the keynote to the next festival theme: As is the
case every four years, the Canstatt Volksfest on the
Wasen fairground will be accompanied by the “Landwirtschaftliche
Hauptfest” once again this year from
27 th September to 5 th October, resulting in less space
for the showmen. At the LHW, “the largest farm in
Baden-Württemberg”, more than 600 exhibitors and
organisations inform visitors about the latest news
from agriculture, forestry, and dietetics.
Among the showman attractions presented at the
169 th Canstatt Volksfest, three constructions are

Local patriotism –
presented on the Volksfest
T-shirts and at the long
Volksfest procession
particularly heralded, namely the “Mega King Tower”
(Zinnecker) as the “tallest transportable Freefall
Tower”, the double-looping coaster “Teststrecke”
(Steiger Achterbahn firm), and the
“Skyliner” (Skyliner GmbH) as the
“tallest transportable observation
platform”. Among these three attractions,
only the Freefall Tower will be
presented at the Volksfest for the first
time – the construction has already
appeared at this year’s spring
festival in the Swabian metropolis,
however.
Due to the agricultural exhibition
being held this year, there will be less
space available for the showmen. As
a result, a water ride will be missing
this time, and the “fun sector” will also
make a very modest impression. No
longer presented among the major
constructions in comparison to last
year will be, The “Berg & Tal” coaster,
“Spinning Racer”, “Psycho”,
“Freddy´s Company”, “Kristallpalast”,
Simulator, “Tower Event Center”, the second
Ferris Wheel, and – as previously mentioned – the
water ride.

the balloon race (Sunday afternoon, 28 th September), when 15 hot-air
balloons and a number of gas balloons will rise up to the sky. Wednesdays
are the designated Family Days with price reductions and surprises
for the younger visitors to the Volksfest. For the finale of the Cannstatt
Volksfest on Sunday 12 th October, the sky above the Wasen-fairground will
be transformed into sea of lights and colours with the grand fireworks display
beginning at 9 p.m. The price for a litre of beer in the beer tents will
be between €8.90 and €9.40 this year – an increase of up to 30 cents. It
remains to be seen if there will be too few taxis for the Wasen visitors or
those going home once again this year. This was a big problem last year,
and the city authorities and the taxi office have already announced that
they will closely watch the situation. The organisers are expecting between
3.5 and 4 million visitors at the Volksfest, a figure comparable to
the 3.7 million people coming to the Cannstatt Volksfest last year. ■

As usual, the complete list of all the ride and funhouse attractions presented
at the 169 th Cannstatt Wasen will be available in the preview in the
rear section of the Kirmes & Park Revue issue.
Traditional Morning, Parade, Family Day and More
The most important events of the supporting programme: The “Traditionsmorgen”
(traditional morning) on the first Saturday (27 th September) will
be held together with the opening of the Landwirtschaftliches Hauptfest
this time. On the first Sunday (28 th September, from 11 a.m.) the long Volksfest
parade with about 3,500 participants proceeding from the Kursaal
through the historic alleys of Bad Cannstatt to the Wasen-fairground will
attract up to 250,000 visitors. The parade is organised by the Cannstatt
Volksfestverein, which was founded in 1994 to preserve the Cannstatt
Volksfest tradition and has about 560 members. Another highlight will be
He will be sadly missed
at the 169 th Cannstatt
Volksfest: the
chairman of the
Showman Association
Süd west, and
Stuttgart Chairman of
many years standing,
Joachim (Jogi) Hohl.
On 8 th April this year,
the Stuttgart showman
veteran lost his fight
against a serious illness,
and passed away at the age of only 58 years in his home
town. His last trip was in an ambulance from the university
hospital in Heidelberg to a hospital in Stuttgart, and his closest
friends (Martin Blume and “Wasendoktor” Rolf Kübler to name
but two) as well as his family made the impossible possible –
making Joachim Hohl’s last wish come true; namely, to see “his”
Wasen once again, where the spring festival was being built up
at that time. And when the ambulance eventually reached his
beloved and familiar fairground - Joachim Hohl was deeply
moved and filled with happiness once again. A few days later,
he succumbed to his illness and passed away. An enormous
crowd of people bade farewell to Joachim Hohl – who leaves
his wife Eveline, his daughter Carolin, his son-in-law David and
his grandson Pauli – at the funeral service in Stuttgart on 14 th
April. At the funeral service, the Stuttgart Volksfest organiser,
Marcus Christen, said, “He leaves a large void on the Wasen,
as he had fought, above all, for the most vulnerable among the
side stall operators”, and Karl Maier (“Göckelesmaier”), Hohl’s
deputy at the Showman Association Südwest added, “Jogi’s
commitment was overwhelming. He knew everyone and everything,
and was respected by the showmen and officials
throughout Germany.”

HISTORY
CANNSTATT VOLKSFEST 55 YEARS AGO
Text: Ralf Schmitt
Photos: Official programme magazine of
the city of Stuttgart,1959
Of course, the
landmark of the festival was the
cover picture of the 1959 official
programme of the city of
Stuttgart: the Fruchtsäule.
The published site map gave a
rather vague idea about which
attractions were presented on
the Wasen-fairground
It goes without saying that in 1959, issue No. 20 of the
official programme of the state capital Stuttgart,
which was also dubbed as the “newsletter for the
members of the Stuttgart tourist office”, was completely
given over to the Cannstatt Volksfest. It was the 114 th
Volksfest, which began on 26 th (Saturday) and not – as
printed on the cover picture by mistake – on 27 th
September, and closed on Wednesday, 7 th October.
The greeting read in part, “The spacious Cannstatt
Wasen will once again be the meeting point for those
who treasure spending a couple of hours among
happy people. May all our worries disappear like
autumn fog in the sun at the – hopefully – gloriously
sunny 114 th Cannstatt Volksfest. No matter how cosy
the atmosphere in the magnificent beer tents may be,
at some point in time everybody will want to have a look
at the new attractions that can be encountered at the
fair this year. An umbrella would only be a hindrance
when doing so.”
While the editorial text was lacking any further details,
and the site map (lovingly drawn, it must be said) also
provided only at best a rough overview of the type and
number of attractions – identifying, for example,
merely 3 roller coasters and 2 Ferris wheels – the
advertisements for a number of showmen's operations
actually provided much more information about the
rides and tracks offered at the 114 th Volksfest.
18

The owner of the “Calypso” (without the name
being given) for example advertised: “The big
hit; the Calypso novelty; appearing in Stuttgart
for the first time”! The effusive showman went
on to promise “only smiling faces due to the
beautiful and pleasant ride provided!” Hugo
Haase from Hannover heralded “the vast roller
coaster offering speedy rides” as well as the
“Zeppelin-Wolkenflug”, George Malfertheiner
preferred “the unique jungle and tropical show”,
and Rudolf Feldl presented the “Original
Münchner Teufelsrad”.
The Löffelhardt firm announced two attractions,
“Löffelhardt brings America’s ride hit No. 1 Hula-
Hoop – a wonderful new ride for the Volksfest!
Moreover, the Mars-Express proclaimed multilevel
horror; laughter in the dark”, and the “Roxi-
Betriebe” (R. and J. Kinzler) advertised the
“Cortina-Bob”, “Etagen-8-Schleife” and “Die
Tombola”. Also mentioned were the large and
small beer tents, their publicans presenting at
the Volksfest 1959 the Dinkelacker Beer Tent
(Paul Greiner), the Stuttgarter Hofbräu Beer Tent
(Göckelesmaier), the Schwabenbräu Beer Tent
(Willi Grob), the Wulle Beer Tent (Willi Schropp), the
Plochinger Waldhornbrauerei Beer Tent (Erich
Geissler), and the Walter Weitmann's Max Weigel
brass band, that lured the visitors to the “Stimmungsvollen
Alpenglühen” spectacle in the Schwanenbräu
Nagold Beer Tent. The most important events of the
not yet very substantial supporting programme at the
114 th Cannstatt Volksfest: The opening ceremony at the

Bremen
The 979 th Bremen Freimarkt will be celebrated
from 17 th October to 2 nd November on the Bürgerweide-fairground
this y ear. In ad dition, the
nostalgic “small” Freimarkt will entice the public
to the market in the city centre.
Even though the Osterwiese in spring alleviates the
wait until the Freimarkt, the Bremen residents and
visitors from near and far nonetheless eagerly
anticipate the autumn Volksfest. Fairground director
for the second time since the end of the Freimarkt
2012, Raimund Klug, and the most important
contact person for both the media and showmen
regarding the Freimarkt, the Osterwiese and the
Christmas market ever since, has been in charge of
the selection and placement of the attractions. Of
course, he also has to take some criticism, such as
the complaints from showmen and their spokesmen
about the late issuing of approvals and rejections
prior to this year’s Freimarkt. Apparently, the showmen
received them only in late August, so the showmen
had no way of reliably planning their tour
schedules. Even Wolfgang Ahrens, the new
manager of the Bremen Showman Association and
former Bremen fairground director, considers this to
be far too late, and would also like the showman
associations to have a stronger say in the placement
of approved attractions. Taking a first look at the site
map of the 979 th Freimarkt one will find hardly any
novelties among the ride and funhouse attractions,
and a second, closer look reveals that a number of
familiar attractions will be missing. Let’s start with the
novelties that are to welcome the guests, which will
include the “City Skyliner” viewing tower – the first
large attraction built up directly at the main
entrance to the Bürgerweide-fairground (on last
year’s “Transformer” site). By the way, in the late
1990s – as some of our readers may still recall – the
slightly taller viewing tower “Top of the World” from
the Finnendahl firm was built up almost on this very
site.
New: “City Skyliner” and “Down Town”
Another novelty among the funhouse constructions
on the Bürgerweide-fairground will be the “Down
Town” labyrinth from Lutz Hofmann, which has been
allocated one of the Walkthrough construction topend
sites in the final third of the course circuit.
Further along the course visitors will encounter yet
another novelty; the “Atlantis Rafting” water ride
from Jens Vorlop making its Freimarkt debut on last
year’s site for the “Bayern Rutsch’n”, and the very
site held in the past by the “Wild ‘n Wet” from
Löwenthal, which went into operation in 2005 and
has no longer been on tour since 2011, but rather

knew that it would be the last

SPECIAL
The site map of the 979 th
Bremen Freimarkt
(subject to change)
has found a new home in the Allgäu-Skyline Park in
Bad Wörishofen. The other novelties at the Freimarkt
2014 may be considered to be “type of attraction
known, but version/owner presented for the first
time”, such as the “Looping the Loop” (Marquis instead
of Olnhausen), “Psycho” (Bergmann), “Musik
Express” (Baier, instead of Krause last year and
“Troika” the years before), as well as the Mondial
turbine “Gladiator” (Kriek) instead of “Flasher”
(Ahrend).
Returning to the Freimarkt after shorter or longer
breaks will be the “Tower Event Center” (Blume),
Parkour (Aigner), “Daemonium” (Blume), “Commander”
(Hanstein), “Alex Airport” (Goetzke),
“Toboggan” (Fischer), “Flash” (Weber), “Black
Hole” (Schierenbeck), “Alpina-Bahn” (Bruch) and
the “Hexentanz” (Markmann). They will be joined by
attractions also presented last year; namely, “Breakdance”
(Dreher), “Happy Traveller” (Gack & Co.),
“Happy Sailor” (Howey), “Wellenflug” (Hanstein),
“Top Spin” (Ludewigt), “Euro-Rutsche” (Kuschenbauer-Roden),
“Rotor” (Pluschies), Riesenrad
(Steiger), and – despite rumours to the contrary –
the large water ride from Löwenthal. The “Frisbee”,
a cult ride of many years, will no longer be presented.
After its appearance at the Hamburg Sommer-
Dom, it was sold to Dubai and therefore cannot
celebrate its 20 th birthday in Bremen. In other words,
the Bürgerweide-fairground will provide many changes
and a comeback for many familiar attractions –
but the bottom line is that, apart from the viewing
tower and the labyrinth, there will not be anything
extraordinary or truly new. True, there have not
actually been too many genuine novelties this
season, but why will none of the new tall Freefall
Towers be presented on the Bürgerweidefairground?
Moreover, wouldn’t it have been
possible to present the large show attraction (from
a showman not exactly unknown in Bremen) that has
only just celebrated its world première at the Munich
Oktoberfest as a still “brand new” novelty also to the
public at the Freimarkt – thereby honouring the
showman’s willingness to invest?
Noticeable also is that a ride from “Polyp” type –
truly a “must” at the Freimarkt due to its great
popularity – will be missing. Even more noticeable
is the fact that after very many years, the attraction
contingent in Bremen will not include a “Wilde Maus”
type coaster – also enjoying outstanding popularity
with the public – either. Neither the “Wilde Maus
XXL” from the Eberhard firm, a prominent novelty
very well received and frequented in Bremen last
year, nor the standard-size “Wilde Maus” from the
Kinzler firm, a regular participant of many years, will
be presented.
With the “Höllenblitz” yet another large track ride,
also ranking among the regular participants at the
Freimarkt up until recently, will be missing for the
second successive time. Not even small coasters,
often called kiddie or family coasters – highly

popular at many events and available in multiple
versions – are not very popular with the organisers
in Bremen. As far as the placing of the large
attractions at this year’s Freimarkt is concerned, the
only issues presenting a possible problem are the
two major rides, the “City Skyliner” and the “Tower
Event Centre” being built up rather close to each
other, and the viewing tower with rotating gondola
at the main entrance being directly followed by the
viewing tower with Walkthrough construction set up
as second-largest attraction in the circuit course.
The fairground map shows where to find the
attractions; for example, the fact that “Cafe Grell”
which has moved to a different site after quite a long
time, while the gastronomic operation “Schau’s Grill”
(Uhse) with seating possibilities is built up on its
traditional site. The Freimarkt used to be one of the
first large German Volksfest events to be presented
on the internet. As far as graphics, contents and updates
are concerned, the now ageing Freimarkt
website urgently requires “renovation”.

HISTORY
FREIMARKT 20 YEARS AGO
Text: Ralf Schmitt
Photos: Ralf Schmitt, BTAG-Grafik
The site map of the
Bremen Freimarkt 1994 and
several Freimarkt novelties
from that year: “Krinoline”,
“Old Flying Machine”, “Wilde
Maus” as double-Mouse,
“Grüne Hölle” and the
“Speedy” built by Huss
The list of attractions at the Freimarkt 1994 gave
the following information: Ferris Wheel (Steiger),
4-loop“Thriller” (Bruch), Wilde Maus (Kinzler,
double-Mouse from Maurer), Alpen Express
(Nülken), Magic Mountain (Renoldi), Wildwasser 3
(Löwenthal), Evolution (Eberhard), Frisbee
(Robrahn), Old Flying Machine (Schäfer), Top Spin
(Ludewigt), Alte Liebe (Schneider), Take Off (Rüth &
Rasch), Commander (Hanstein), Can Can (Schneider),
Krinoline (Roie), Breakdance (Dreher), Happy
Traveller (Gack & Co.), Tornado (Fehrensen), Magic
(Robrahn), Krake (Uhse), Wellenflug (Hanstein),
Happy Sailor (Howey), Super Musik Express
(Ahrend), Grüne Hölle (Blume), Rotor (Pluschies),
Super Mario World (Markmann), Magischer Tempel
(Kinzler), Das Omen (Hempen), and the dodgem
tracks from Robrahn, Robrahn/Van der Veen, and
Vespermann-Hartkopf. Peculiarities, curiosities, and
strange stories from the Freimarkt 1994: Due to a
technical fault, the “Can Can” from the Schneider
firm – presented in Bremen in the “tuned-up” version
for the first time – had to be dismantled during the
event. The “Speedy” from Ludewigt was built up on
its site on short notice. Even though the largest transportable
water ride from Joachim Löwenthal had
already had gone into operation two years before –
it made its debut at the local Freimarkt only in 1994,
when a second base for the huge construction was
available, due to which the attraction could be
relocated from Stuttgart to Bremen in good time.
Records also show the fares for a number of rides.
The price at the “Can Can” and the “Old Flying
Machine” was DM 5,00 per person, DM 3,50 (adults)
and DM 2,50 (children) at the “Krinoline”. For the
world novelty “Frisbee”, the price was DM 6,00
(adults) and DM 4,00 (children). The relatively new
Freimarkt fair passes provided 8 rides for adults for
DM 26,00 or 12 rides for children for DM 20,.00.
Twenty years later, as many as 8 larger ride
attractions, already presented in 1994, can still be
encountered at the Freimarkt, namely the Top Spin,
Happy Traveller, Breakdance, Commander, Ferris
Wheel, Wellenflug, Rotor, and the large water ride. ■

SPECIAL
On Monday, October 13 th , Hersfeld
residents, or “Herschfeller”,
as rendered in the local dialect,
will once again celebrate their 8-
day Lullusf est, the oldest
Heimatfest in Germany. The
nationally reno wned fair is a
showcase event for the city, just
as a f ootball team fr om the
German premier lea gue w ould

Accompanied by the impressive battle
cry “Enner, zwoon, dräi – Bruder Lolls“, or
“One, two, three – Brother Lolls”, the
Lullus bonfire will be lit precisely on the
stroke of 12 on “Lolls-Monday”. The ceremonial
lighting of a woodpile on the
market square dates back to a medieval
custom. The “Fierche” was the symbol of
the “Lullusfreiheit”, or the exemption from
municipal duties and taxes during the
festival. Moreover, the Lullus bonfire is
also of practical use. In low temperatures,
a stroll across the fairground is more than
conducive to a good warming up.
According to an ancient custom, the
children throw chestnuts into the fire and
enjoy their bursting in the embers. The
fairground will be built up on the market
square, and every square centimetre will
be put to use. Each year, the organisers
under the management of Wilfried Roßbach
take up the huge challenge of
organising “the best Lollsfest ever”,
where visitors will encounter the most
Bad Hersfeld
spectacular novelties from the showman
industry chosen from 400 applicants.
In addition to speedy hightech
constructions, the event
concept also focuses on familyfriendly
attractions, offering an all inclusive experience
appealing to every generation – from grandchildren to
grandparents. According to a rotation scheme, the
“Bellevue” Ferris Wheel from Bruch is the main
attraction at the Lollsfest every second year. The
Ferris Wheel, which was already approved for its first
appearance at the event during manufacture, and has
been on tour for 20 years now, will be presented at the
event for the 11 th time this year.
Ample Cornucopia of Attractions on
Limited Space
Several Lolls novelties 2014 come from the show and
fun sector. Making its debut will be the “Traumgenerator”
from Häsler & Lemoine, with crazy film and
picture sequences on its exterior getting the visitors
attuned to the not in the least usual journey inside the
“machine”. Another Lolls première will be celebrated
by the “Big Bamboo” (Hempen) built by the Dietz from
the neighbouring city of Schwalmstadt in 2011,
bringing back memories of summer, sun and the
beach in autumn. Also presented once again will be
the “Mäuse-Spektakel” from Henschel/Landwermann,

SPECIAL
First-time appearance:
Hempen’s “Big Bamboo”
The focus of interest:
the Lullus bonfire
as well as the already well-known “Flip Fly” over-thetop
swing from Thomas Clauß, and the “Phoenix”
looping ride from Gusowski. The big Lolls novelty
among the rides will be the “Kick Down” from Maik
Landwermann, contracted once again after a long
absence, as will be the “Nessy”, Europe’s largest
touring swing (Markmann), as well as the “Petersburger
Schlittenfahrt” from Burgdorf, and younger
Lullusfest visitors will be able to enjoy the “Montgolfière”
from Zarnikau. Moreover, the “Traumland-
Reise” from Barth, the “Fantasia” from Bodem, the
“Traumwelt” from Berger, and the “Piratentrip” under
the management of Hardt will also lure the public. The
nostalgic sector will be represented by the Ernst firm
with the well-looked-after Gallopers providing a
romantic atmosphere at the fairground. A proper fairground
includes not only attractive rides and funhouses,
but also good gastronomic operations and
snack booths. The ample selection in Bad Hersfeld
offers something for everybody’s taste, be it sweet or
spicy, and covers the gamut from vegetarian
specialities, shish kebab, bratwurst, salmon flambé
and Langos, to sweet chestnuts, almonds and
delicious fish rolls, brezn and crêpes. Cosy beer tents
will round off the product choice.
Ample Supporting Programme
All in all, 51 showmen have received one of the
coveted contracts for the traditional city festival. With
19 enterprises making their debut and 53 percent of
the approved showmen having been replaced vis-à-vis
last year, the fairground will once again provide a completely
new overall image. The highlights at the city
festival will be the Lollsball in the civic centre (11 th
October), the church service at Distel’s dodgem track
(12 th Oct.), the lighting of the Lullus bonfire and the
procession on Lolls Monday (13 th Oct.) dedicated to the
motto “Lolls – jeder feiert mit.” (Lolls – everybody celebrates
together) Further highlights will be the Lullus
bric-a-brac market with 130 sales stalls on Wednesday
(15 th Oct.) and the open shopping Lolls-Sunday (19 th
Oct.), when the local retailers with their full product
range will also open from midday to 6 p.m. On Lolls
Sunday at 8 p.m. a fireworks display accompanied by
music will once again be held on the tower of the nearby
Stadtkirche church by the pyrotechnic specialist
Woesch from Würzburg. The final day (20 th Oct.) will
once again be a family day with reduced prices. Last
year, the burning of the Lolls devil, symbolising the
burning of all the previous year’s sins, was revived. The
Lolls devil, having already been presented at the procession
on Lolls Monday, will once again make an
appearance in a repeat event at the Feuergrube on 15 th
October at 11:30 p.m. due to the good attendance.
The Origin
The Lullusfest is held in honour of the city’s founder, the
Mainz Archbishop Lull (710 to 786), a pupil of holy
Bonifatius, known as the Germans’ apostle, who
founded the future imperial abbey Hersfeld in 769. The
church festival was created to mark the canonisation of
Archbishop Lull in 852 attended by pilgrims travelling to
the shrine in the newly built abbey. The pilgrimages
resulted in an important market with merchants, jugglers
and cheerfully celebrating participants. While the pilgrimages
became less important, the Lullusfest
developed into a Volksfest event. Nowadays, the Lullusfest
is deeply embedded in the hearts of people throughout
the entire region. In October the “Lolls”, as the locals
call their market, will take place, and a visit to the event
is simply a must: No excuses accepted; the entire region
has a soft spot for the Hersfeld event! The festival opening
has a special, noteworthy feature: it is the only Volksfest
event in Germany that begins on a Monday. With the
Lollsfest a new calendar, the “Lolls Year”, begins for the
“Herschfeller”, who divide the year into “before the Lolls”
and “after Lolls”. The Lollsfest differs from other Volksfest
events due in particular to its tradition, the affinity between
the residents and their event, and the showman
attractions.

INERVIEW: “MR. LOLLS” WILFRIED ROßBACH
Wilfried Roßbac h is called “Mr .
Lolls” in Bad Hersfeld. He is the
indispensable organiser, now
working together in a team with
Julia Sc holz and Helg e Assi.
Since 1980, he has been
responsible for the event, and
thus he celebrates a rare anniversary;
he is no w the fairground
director for the 35 th time.
Mr. Roßbach, which operations were presented
in your first year, 1980?
The Lullusfest was smaller in those days. There
were 36 operations – as opposed to 51 operators
these days. I recall very well the Filmrakete from Kalbfleisch
– a season novelty back then - the Ferris Wheel
from Willenborg, the Animal Show from Sindermann
and the Twister from Nier.
How ha ve re venues fr om fair ground f ees
developed ever since?
Naturally, they have increased over the years.
From Euro 25,000 in 1980 to some Euro 160,000 today.
The Lullusfest 1989 was held shortly before the
German reunification and the opening of the
border between W est and East German y. What
happened in 1990?
We were hardly able to cope with the new mass
of visitors. All of a sudden, Bad Hersfeld was no longer
located in the border zone area – but in the middle of
Germany! Visitors came from, among other towns,
Erfurt, Gotha and Eisenach, and of course we extended
our advertising campaign. It was a big boost to the
Lullusfest, no question about it.
Bad Hersfeld has about 30,000 residents. How
many visitors do you record at the Lullusfest?
attraction and we are proud of it. At the same time, it
is an incentive and obligation to keep the Lullusfest
attractive and alive into the future.
How many applications do you receive?
Currently there have been 432 applicants. There
were years with some 800 inquiries - of every conceivable
quality, it must be said. The introduction of an
application fee some years ago separated the wheat
from the chaff.
Which festivals do you go and see?
This changes annually. A “must” for me is the Allerheiligenkirmes
in Soest every year. Schweinfurt and
Würzburg are also on my tour list. On average, there
are about ten events that I get my inspiration from.
Many times that number; all in all we have about
half a million visitors. This proves the event's power of

Mayor Thomas Fehling himself. Of course, he is
provided with the current facts. The speech must be
finished precisely at the stroke of 12. Then the
dialogue with the “fire-master” begins. Finally, the
mayor takes over the torch from him and throws it into
the prepared woodpile.
How impor tant is the dialogue between the
“fire-master” and the mayor?
for the dozens of participants. This means that of
course there are discussions about the attractions as
well as participants. More precisely, there were 88
showmen on the short-list for the 51 contracts available
this year. The decisions are made by this
committee.
In February, eight months bef ore the Lullusfest,
you introduce the novelties to the public. Why
that early?
It is a traditional custom, handed down from
earlier times, and is simply indispensable. Now everybody
knows – the Lullusfest is about to begin. Then the
music starts playing and the rides open up.
This y ear, it is the turn of the Ferris Wheel
again, a classic ride at the Lullusfest?
Yes, without a doubt. The Bellevue Wheel from the
Bruch firm is popular with all age groups. At the same
time, the arrival of the 20 containers and the build-up
with a 160-ton crane is always a logistical feat – but the
response is impressive.
The nostalgic trend is s weeping the fairgrounds.
Is this also a topic in Bad Hersfeld?
No, it is not a new topic for us. We always present
one nostalgic attraction, for example “Hex‘n Wippn”
from Michael Zehle last year, or currently the Gallopers
from Dieter Ernst. I would like to have a big organ.
How are decisions made in the Lullusf est
commission? Do y ou still discuss the issue of
participants?
There is a session paper with the layout concept
Because people are curious and “their appetite
is to be whetted” - and of course, to afford the showmen
planning reliability. Further decisive factors at this
point in time are the events taking place at the same
time – such as the Lukasmarkt in Mayen or the fair in
Bocholt.
What is dear to your heart this year?
Among other things, the campaign against
broken glass. We want to tackle this problem head-on,
intensify searches and appeal to the visitors’ common
sense. The last resort would be a ban on glass on the
entire fairground.
How can you explain the success of the Lullusfest?
In addition to an appealing fairground with an
interesting offering for all ages and visitor groups, I
think the citizens’ affinity with their event is particularly
important. This is what my work depends on. I am
proud that we succeeded in embedding the Lullusfest
deep in the hearts of the people, and that the event
enjoys unflagging popularity every year. We bring
people together!

Stadtmarketing in Bocholt is in charge of numerous
and varied events. Apart from the local population,
many visitors from the neighbouring Netherlands
also participate in the ample choice of events in the
city.
Particularly enjoyable is a visit between 17 th and 20 th
October, when Bocholt is truly buzzing once again with
activities for the four-day Bocholt fair. Every year, this
event not only enthrals hundreds of thousands of visitors
from near and far, but even the participating showmen,
as it is one of the events with the highest turnover in
Germany. The fair is spreading from the Berliner Platz,
Schanze, Rathausplatz, Gasthausplatz and Meckenemstraße.
A couple of novelties carefully chosen – this year
three attractions will celebrate their Bocholt première –
and several relocations will result in a new fairground layout.
Yet the fair in Bocholt is definitely never reinvented;
it is only ever redesigned here and there, and therefore
provides a new and vibrant image every year. This is not

always easy, as the new security concept and lack of
space sets limits to the layout, but the safety of visitors
always comes first. Last year, there was no Ferris Wheel;
instead the “City Sky Liner” smoothly whisked the visitors
high up into the sky, providing them with a magnificent
view. This year however, a Ferris Wheel will be presented
again. The “Europa Rad” from the Kipp family will
certainly be an eye catcher. The second towering
attraction will be accommodated on the Berliner Platz.
After a long absence, the “Power Tower 2” (Schneider)
will make an appearance. With its varied ride programme
it will provide superb ride fun with many thrill effects. The
“Schloss Dracula” ghost ride (Schütze) will move to the
outer row, and with the “Octopussy” (Markmann),
“Breakdance” (Bruch) and “Shake” (Schäfer) the three
open round ride classics will be presented once again.
Also providing rides for the whole family will be the chain
ride from Fuhrmann and Heitmann’s “Disco Jet”. Moreover,
the two dodgem tracks from Schmidt and
Schneider will be built up on the Berliner Platz. Salto
Mortale” from Gusowski-Langenberg will offer visitors
“over-the-top” enjoyment, and in Bruch’s “Spinning
Racer” coaster fans will get their money's worth. On the
access road to the Bayernfesthalle beer tent, visitors will
this year encounter the “Looping the Loop” (von Olnhausen).
The family will also present the second
debutante for Bocholt, the “Villa Wahnsinn”, which will be
placed on Meckenemstraße (along with the “Jump
Street” Miami from Klaasen). Further along in the
direction of the city centre, the “U 3000” (Ahrend) will be
built up on the Schanze-fairground as the third novelty.
The top-end site will be occupied by the “XXL” swing
(Kipp-Denies), followed by the “Venezianische Pferdekarussell”
(Langenberg), and the “Circus Circus”
(Bruch-Gründler) will await the visitors in front of the city
hall. The Twister from Berghaus, often called a “Bocholt
fixture” will be located on the Gasthausplatz, slightly off
the circuit course, and Schäfer’s “Turbo Force” will make
its rounds in front of the grammar school. This appealing
cornucopia of attractions will offer something for everybody's
taste. The large Bayernfesthalle beer tent will
offer an impressive programme throughout the event,
such as the traditional opening of the fair on Friday at 9
p.m., and the seniors already partying inside the tent in
the afternoon. Moreover, a “Bavarian Evening” on Thursday
– when the fair is still closed – will get the public
attuned to the event. On Saturday, with the guests from
the Netherlands celebrating the fair in their very special
way, orange will be the predominating colour inside the
beer tent. On Sunday, the ample music programme with
Olaf Henning, Luna, and other popular pop stars will lure
the public into the Bayernfesthalle. Monday will be completely
devoted to the local music groups, closing the fair
with a terrace party. Further highlights will be the happy
hour on Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and the fireworks
display at 8.30 p.m.

Jan Vermolen comes fr om one of the oldest
Dutch showman families, and his profession is
dear to his hear t. V ermolen, who has been
successfully operating se veral gastr onomic
operations for some years now, has had plans
for a second career within the famil y so to
speak, for some time; namely a games booth,
operated the wa y true sho wmen do, with
announcements over the micr ophones, show
and close contact with the public.
In 2012, Vermolen happened to see a photo of an
old game focussed on beautifully designed and
colourfully decorated clown figures as the main
focus. Even though he immediately began to
search, it soon became apparent that there were
hardly any games of this type left, and that production
had already stopped
many years ago. From the
1930s, the game was known as
“Laughin' Clown Game” and
quite common mainly in the USA
and in England up to the 1960s.
As previously mentioned, Jan
Vermolen had searched in vain
for a manufacturer for a long
time, so that when he finally hit
lucky and got into contact with a
company, who were able in
January 2013 to rebuild a new
game from polyester according
to a still existing original, he
commissioned 14 examples with little ado. At the
same time, he set out to arrange for an appropriate
arcade wagon and venues for the coming season.
As many Dutch fairground directors were enthralled,
Vermolen succeeded in presenting his
novelty game at almost all the prestigious events
this season. It is a completely mechanical game,
with a small ball disappearing in the mouth of the
moving clown and showing up again on one of the
9 numbered tracks. The player gets 5 balls and at
the end of the game the numbers are added up.
The higher the number of points, the larger the
prize one can choose. While Jan Vermolen will
continue to concentrate on his gastronomic
operations, his son Frederico will be in charge of
the “Happy Clowns”. With his passionate and
entertaining moderating, he even succeeded in
winning the award for the “best game” at the
Tilburg fair 2014.

Ghost Ride
Once the two transport vehicles (one
articulated lorry and one centre-station
trailer) have been relocated to the new fairground,
the articulated lorry is uncoupled on the
left side next to the measured site, while the
centre trailer is manoeuvred to the very centre
of the front, hydraulically elevated, and the axles
extended. After being lowered and balanced,
the support sections of the station are carefully
propped up with solid, square-sectioned timber
and wooden panels to provide a stable foundation.
This done, the base segments are laid out
behind the station. (1)
Once the centre trailer has been unfolded,
the balcony is folded upwards and locked
into position. Next, the annexes on the
right and on the left side can be pulled out
and mounted. This done, the platform is
installed, balanced and propped up in front of
the station and the paybox is manoeuvred into
its position. (2 and 3)
Once the assembly of the station has been completed,
the base segments for the hall are laid
out at right-angles and connected, set horizontally
with the aid of a spirit level and propped up
with pyramids and wood at regular distances.

Next the floor segments are manually laid out in
6 rows. (5)

Next, the hall scaffolding is built up. First, the

floor, before the posts can be elevated one after
the other, and the roof connectors are fitted. Next
the braces are mounted between the posts and
the floor segments and secured by bolts. (10)
After the build-up of the scaffolding, the side
platforms of the hall are mounted, after which the
earth cable for the power supply of the gondola
engines is bolted into position, before the some

Punctually completed and delivered according to
schedule by the Dietz firm, it was possible to open the
“Schnaps Drossel” at the Peenefest in Demmin. The
axles of the compact construction can be hydraulically
lowered, and the name sign and the roof framework
are folded down for relocation. The attraction was
equipped with modern, power-saving appliances. In
addition to refrigerators, an ice crusher and dish
washer, a refrigerated display the same length as the
counter was incorporated. Apart from several types of
beers, the ample beverage choice also includes
various types of high-quality wine and champagne. Of
course, non-alcoholic beverages, cocktails and long
drinks are served as well. The beer kegs are stored in
a cooler next to the counter and can also be used as
a standing counter; the kegs are however connected
with the peripheral beer taps via hoses. The “Schnaps
Drossel” has ground measurements of 7 x 5 metres
and electrical requirements of about 5 kW. The
Hamburg family present their attractions mainly in
Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-
Anhalt, Thuringia, Brandenburg and Berlin. Moreover,
they have made guest appearances also at a number
of events in Hamburg for many years.

Daniel Beisel and his
new snack booth
Daniel Beisel fr om Bad Dürkheim,
Palatinate, presented her
brand new “Dannys Grillhütte”
snack booth for the first time at
the city festival in Mannheim in
June.
The modern 2-axle sales trailer,
built by Spezialfahrzeugbau Pfaff
in Buchheim, near Leipzig, has a
rustic-styled design. The chassis
is hydraulically lowered and the
canopy is also hydraulically folded. The Grillhütte
has been equipped with a telescopic counter,
sliding side windows and electric aluminium blinds.
The roof and the dormer are covered with genuine
wood clapboard. At the rear side, there is an extendible
bay with a built-in oven for the rolls. The highquality
steel frills were built by the KSF firm. The
name sign on the roof was built as a flaming LED
sign by the Reckmann firm in Oberhausen. The
lighting system consists of ball-shaped LED lamps
enhancing the rustic-style appearance of the
attraction. In the sales area there is a flat screen display,
on which commercials for the upcoming
events can be shown. The menu mainly provides
Pfälzer Bratwurst, Saumagen (a pig’s stomach
stuffed with meat and vegetables), Winzersteak
(vintners' steak), fried chips, game specialities and
chilli sausages, as well as a pan-fried dish for
vegetarians. The construction has ground measurements
of 6 x 3.5 metres and is 5 metres high. It takes
about 30 minutes for build-up; when fully-assembled
the draw bar can be folded to the side. “Dannys
Grillhütte” was presented at, among other events,
the Hessentag (Hessen Day) in Bensheim, various
wine and street festivals in the Bad Dürkheim region,
and at the fair in Bad Kreuznach. In addition to the
Grillhütte, Daniel Beisel also tours a kiddie railway
attraction and a crêpe wagon.

PORTRAIT
“Crazy Town” from
Wagner in current design
Glass lab yrinths at V olksfest
events and markets ha ve a long
tradition. In the 1990s, the
Moonen brothers from Holland –
known in the industry for original
funhouses and ghost rides –
introduced a new labyrinth to the
fairground circuit, which despite
being compact has tw o le vels
when assembled.
Text: Ralf Schmitt

Enrico (l.) and Ricardo Wagner
Crazy Town
The attraction was sold to Germany after two
seasons. Back then, the Stuttgart Renz firm
bought the attraction, probably as an interesting
alternative to the
“Hollywood” funhouse
(also owned by
the family) that was in
particularly strong
demand. Being on
tour under the
management of Renz
from 1998 to 2004, the attraction
repeatedly featured large and small
changes in decoration, light and design,
the most prominent being the new
painting introducing funny elements to
mere animal motifs. Later on, the affix “Der
verrückte Urwald” was added to the “Crazy
Jungle” name sign at the top of the front.
58

In the winter of 2004, the Renz family parted with
the attraction and sold it to Enrico Wagner from
Karlsruhe, who thereby changed from the ride to
the fun sector – energetically supported by his
son Ricardo. In the course of the new redesigning
the Jungle theme was finally discarded and
the attraction was renamed to “Crazy Town”. The
staircases into the attraction are now also
“history”. They have been replaced by an
additional fun course (built by the Gosetto firm)
with many effects forming the entrance to the
second level built on in front. As a result, visitors
are now offered three walkthrough levels.
Naturally, the labyrinth made of
glass and mirrors – now supplemented
by many classic fun effects
– is and remains the core of the
“Crazy Town”.
According to Enrico Wagner, a new
light concept is currently being
realized to perfectly round off the
attraction’s visual appearance. The
measurements of the “Crazy Town”: front 20 m,
depth 9 m and height 11m.

“Flasher” and “Krumm
& Schief Bau” in Düsseldorf
Text: Michael Petersen

Final results at the lar gest fair on the
Rhine were relativel y modest this y ear.
“Only” 3.6 million visitors enjoyed themselves
on the largest fair on the Rhine between
the Rhein-Knie and the Oberkasseler
Bridg e; some 600,000 visitor s
less than last year.
Several negative factors affected the showmen
and brought about modest overall
results. As is well-known, expectations are
very high in Düsseldorf. The Düsseldorf
Rheinwiese fair is normally a guarantee for
good financial results; within just a couple of
hours extremely high turnover can be
achieved – in good weather for hours and
even days – and last year even throughout
almost the whole event. These results were
clearly remembered by all participants.
While this year’s opening day was slightly
weaker than last year, the first Saturday
turned out satisfactorily for the majority of
participants, as turnover almost lived up to
that of the previous year. Sunday was the first big
turning point though. The finale of the FIFA World Cup
in Brazil, Germany vs. Argentina, mesmerising the
population was held at 9 p.m. There was no other
subject for discussion in Germany, and with people
leaving already in the late afternoon, the Düsseldorf
fairground was completely empty at the time of the
finale. The beer tent operators had prepared themselves
for the mega event, and succeeded in retaining
some visitors with giant screens. Germany
became world champion and night was turned into
day; there was extensive partying everywhere.
As a result, the usually strong-turnover Pink-Monday
was also a failure. Apparently, the party-goers were
exhausted! Moreover, the countless world champion
parties had cost a great deal of money, which was
now not available for a proper fairground tour.
Certainly, school holidays in North-Rhine Westphalia
also resulted in low visitor attendance at the largest
fair on Rhine. On top of all this, temperatures steadily
rose Monday, reaching their maximum at the weekend.
It was unbearably hot, particularly in the afternoon,
with temperatures between 30°C and 35°C. In
the sweltering afternoon, only a few visitors by
60

Düsseldorf standards strayed out to the wonderful
fairground. In short, there was the proverbial gremlin
at the event this year. Well worth mentioning were the
security measures for the fair; everything worked out
perfectly. The police review was equally positive. The
number of thefts was very low, and only two extremely
drunk visitors were arrested – a stark contrast with the
Munich Oktoberfest 2013, when 750 people were
“requested” to sober up. Moreover, only 220 illegally
parked vehicles were towed away; a historic low. 80%
of the visitors arrived by way of the Rheinbahn public
transport system - a record number.
The number of novelties for Düsseldorf was manageable.
With the family coaster “Willy der Wurm” from
Frank Roos, engaged after the cancellation of the
“Schnauferl”, visitors were able to encounter one
attraction completely new for Düsseldorf. The “Super
Chaos” novelty, built up on the traditional “Nessy”
site, was presented without backflash – thus providing
an unattractive view of the baggage van and a
toilet wagon. On its new site “in the bay”, “Nessy” did
not fare very well. Actually, only the “Flasher” did
good business in this section, its site being perfect
with the gondolas racing up the slope towards the
arriving visitors. The unparalleled “Toboggan” from
Fischer, on the other hand, achieved better results on
its new site compared to its previous experience at
the bay. Nevertheless, this unique fun ride truly
deserves a top site too. However, Oberschelp’s “High
Impress” may well have been allocated the worst site
among all the novelties. Built up at the end of the
circuit course – and partially eclipsed by a continental
pick stand offering floral prizes, the fastest
frying pan in the world made a slightly dismal
impression. There was some “light and shade” with
regard to the beer tents on offer. The changes in the
“Alpenwelt” from Renoldi were very well received by
the visitors, and proved really quite compelling with
its spacious beer garden with additional roofing, its
good music programme and its ample range of
dishes, it was very well attended throughout the
event. The open design of the “Schumacher-
Scheune” tent with adjoining beer garden was also
very effective. The “Füchschen” tent is in a class of
its own – first class in all sectors – and is just not to
be beaten. As the elation about the return of the
Uerige brewery to the Rheinwiese fair was considerable
in the run-up to the event, disappointment about
the very simple and plain design of its tent may well
have exceeded the initial elation.

OPENING
According to tradition, the
largest fair on the Rhine is
opened by the Düsseldorf
Lord Mayor. That has
always been the recognised
“norm”. And
what about this year?
Where was Mr. Elbers?
The Düsseldorf Lord
Mayer was voted out of
office in a second ballot;
the election results being
a true punishment. Even
though he remained in
office up until 1 st September,
the official end of his
term, he was seen in
public only every now
and then. The Düsseldorf
residents were highly disappointed
about the
conduct of their former
Oberburgermeister. As a
result, the opening ceremony
was held by his
popular junior, Mayor,
Friedrich G. Conzen. ■

Heimat und Schützenfest
in Zerbst
The Zerbst Heimat und Sc hützenfest,
held fr om 1 st to 11 th August,
is the largest and longestrunning
Volksfest in Saxony-Anhalt.
Ever y y ear, the e vent attracts
thousands of visitors from
near and far to the to wn in the
Anhalt-Bitterfeld district, where
Schlossfreiheit and the castle
garden are transf ormed into a
large am usement area f or the
duration of 11 days.
More than 70 showmen built up an
appealing Lunapark offering racy
and family-friendly attractions on
the festival grounds. At the main entrance, Sobczyk’s
“Breakdance” made its rounds, and on the area next
to the castle ruins visitors encountered Schleck’s
“Europa Rad” along with the ghost ride (Hahnemann)
and the “Star Drive” dodgem
track (Engelbrecht). Moreover,
the fairground's grassy
areas and the castle garden
accommodated the “Musikpalast”
(Jacob), the “Atlantis”
labyrinth (Siewiera & Drechsler),
the “6. Dimension”
simulator, and “Super Hopser”
(Weiß), as well as the
“Magic” (Herrmann). The
younger visitors enjoyed the
“Super 8 Truck” kiddie track
ride (Katzschmann), kiddie
railway (Eckermann), kiddie
carousel (Haase), pony ride
(Glaß), horse carousel
(Siewiera & Drechsler), “Safari
Jet” (Walz) and a Bungee-
Trampoline (Krebs). A Continental
pick stand and a
number of games booths
rounded of the entertainment
contingent. Snack, beverage
and confectionery booths, as
well as several local gastronomic
operations provided visitors with an ample
selection of food and drinks. However, there were
several drawbacks in the layout, as due to the low
number of top-end sites compromises had to be made,
and several attractions had to be fitted between the
trees. The supporting programme: During the first
weekend, equestrian sports fans got their money’s
worth. From 1 st to 3 rd August, the horse riding, jumping
and driving tournament with participants from several
federal states was held for the 58 th time. Moreover,
there were the 10 th Schleifchen Badminton tournament
on 3 rd August, the crossbow shooting on both weekends,
and a skat tournament on the second Sunday.
The lucky draw of the now 113 th “Zerbst Pferdemarktlotterie”
by the town’s Tourist Agency may well be
unique in Saxony-Anhalt; this year’s main prizes being
a car as well as 665 gifts and cash prizes. Further highlights
were the Raketenabend (Rocket Night) with a
short fireworks display on the Thursday and the two
Family Days on the Wednesday and the second Monday.
The “crowning” of the Heimat and Schützenfest
was a brilliant fireworks display under the motto “Ein
Himmel voller Farben und Musik”, or “A sky full of
colours and music” held again in the castle garden on
the second Sunday at 10.30 p.m The event’s financial
results did not entirely live up to the showmen’s
expectations this year as, there were sometimes very
few visitors on the fairground due to rain (at times,
torrential) with heavy gusts of wind and high
temperatures.

the German-American V olksfest in Graf enwöhr.
Some 75 hectolitres of beer and shandy, as well as
12 hectolitres of non-alcoholic be verages were
sold inside the beer tent.
After last year’s cancellation due to the Americans’ costcutting
measures, this year’s event brought about highly
satisfying business, with many stalls being completely
“sold-out” on the final day. As usual, the 56 th German-
American Volksfest in Grafenwöhr, organised by the US-
Army Garrison Grafenwöhr and the German-American
Gemeinsame Ausschuss Grafenwöhr (DAGA), was held
in the military training area. On the festival ground in
Camp Kasserine, a large fairground accommodating
ride constructions, including those from the firms Kollmann
(Allround), Mölter (Super Tower), Denk (Simulator),
Perz (Dodgem Track), Armbrecht (Nightstyle), Schinkel
(Polyp), Zinnecker (Rol Over) and Sipkema (Projekt 1)
lured the public. The show and fun sector was represented
by the Hofmann-Jehn firm with “Freddy’s
Company”. In addition, more than 100 stalls with
souvenirs and gifts, as well as an ample international
selection of dishes, such as American ice cream,
hamburgers, cheeseburgers, barbeque ribs, tacos,
barbeque chicken, Hot Dogs, steaks, baked potatoes,
Gyros, smoked fish, chicken, grilled pork and egg rolls.
As is tradition, an exhibition of equipment from the
German Armed Forces and the US Army accompanied
the event. The shuttle buses, providing a smooth journey
to and from the event, still enjoy unflagging popularity. At
peak times, 20 buses, all of them working at maximum
capacity, were running up until well after midnight on four
routes. As was the case in all the proceeding years, the
organiser's revenues from the Volksfest were spent on
social projects, such as the youth and students’ exchange
programme between
Germany an America, charitable
institutions, schools, kindergartens,
kiddie playgrounds, retirement
homes and needy people in the
north of the Upper Palatinate. “This
year, the German-American Volksfest
exceeded all expectations. All
the participants are happy,” the
German organiser, showman Peter
Renner summarized the event.
Colonel Mark A. Colbrook is the new
commander at the US-Army base
Grafenwöhr and a Volksfest fan.
As commnder he is also responsible
for the good connections and cooperation
with the municipality in the
Upper Palatinate, and the friendship
of Germans and Americans. Everybody
hopes that he will continue to
speak up for the event. About 35,000
US-Americans are living in the Upper
Palatinate. Last year, the US-Army
Garrison Grafenwöhr was renamed as
US-Army Garrison Bavaria. ■

“Disco Jet” and
“Breakdance” in Greven
The fair in the Münsterland city
of Gre ven was held in the city
centre from 23 rd to 25 th August.
140 showmen were approved for
the event under the management
of fairground director Christoph
Kemper.
On Rathausplatz visitors encountered
the “Phoenix” (Gusowski),
the “New World 3000”
simulator (Welte), “Disco-Jet” (Heitmann), “Crazy
Mouse” (Janßen), the “Formel 1” dodgem track (Heitmann),
“Top Drive” (Ahrend) and the “X-Factor”
(Deinert). Built up on the Wilhelmsplatz were the “Highway
No. 1” (Schneider), “Jekyll & Hyde” propeller
(Thelen), “Wellenflug” (Wendler), “Breakdance”
(Piontek), the kiddie ride (Wöstmann) and the “Jumboflug”
(Wegener). Moreover, the younger Volksfest
visitors were able to enjoy the kiddie chain ride (Altrogge),
the “Zauberwelt” kiddie ride (Wegener), the
“Wilder Clown” kiddie coaster (Weber), the minidodgem
(Wegener) and the Jet Ride (Stippich).
Numerous confectionery stalls, snack booths, games
booths, beverage outlets and sales booths rounded off
the selection off attractions.
On Saturday afternoon the fair began with fully oneand-a-half
hours of “happy hour” time at the ride
attractions. At 3:30 p.m., Mayor Peter Vennemeyer and
the showman spokesman, Philipp Heitmann, opened
the fair at the Westphalia Puppenbühne (puppet
theatre) from Adolf Horz. During the ceremony, the fairground
organ donation of €250 for residents – which
was disrupted by a storm - was handed over by
Philipp Heitmann to the city. The opening was followed
by a performance of the Westphalia Puppenbühne
and the traditional stroll across the fairground. On
Saturday evening a fireworks display was held after
dark, and on the Monday morning the event was
closed with the Lambertusmarkt, where market
merchants offered many useful items for daily life. ■

In five da ys, the 66 th Wine Festival
in the 9,000-resident to wn of
Volkach, located in Lo wer Franconia
between Sc hweinfurt and
Würzburg, attracted about 50,000
visitors.
The Franconian wine festival calendar
gives hundreds of events like this
throughout this wine-growing region,
many of them without showman participation. This is
absolutely not the case in Volkach, where the seating
possibilities under chestnut and plane trees along the
Stadtallee are surrounded by renowned snack
booths, serving products from self-promoting wine
growers, as well as local wine grower cooperatives.
In addition to more than 150 wines served during the
five-day festival, visitors are able to enjoy a fairground
further along the road, on which the Uebel & Sachs
firm from the Schweinfurt district as the lease holder
sets up the “X-Flight” swing, the “Jumper” Miami, and
the dodgem track.
Other attractions presented were the “Super Tower”
Freefall Tower and the shooting gallery from the
Coburg Mölter firm, as well as the classic kiddie ride
from the Aalen Kübler firm. While entry to the wine
festival area is 1.50, admittance to the fairground is
free. The shuttle bus was permanently crowded. The
supporting programme includes the Wine Princesses’
Wunderkerzenzauber, or sparkler event, as well
as a varied music programme. As a number of bus
companies offer day trips to the wine festival, the
7,000 available seats were occupied throughout the
festival.

(this time fr om 16 th to 19 th
August) – and the car park
accommodating almost
1,000 vehic les is deser ted.
What had happened? Heavy
rain falls during the week of
build up had made the large
car park located at the
entrance of the city impassable,
so the entrance gate
remained closed on opening
day, causing chaos on the community’s roads.
As the few other car parks were occupied in no time, it
took many visitors quite some time to find a free parking
space. Those who eventually reached the fairground
were rewarded for their patient search for a parking spot
with an attractive fair and an adjoining bric-a-brac
market. Built up on the spacious fairground grassy areas
were the “Columbia” Ferris Wheel, the Wave-Swinger,
the Musik Express and the large “Breakdance”, along
with the “Revolution”, “Burg des Grauens” ghost ride
and the “Wilde Maus”. In the city centre, the “Flash”
towered over the colourful fairground. Moreover,
younger visitors were able to enjoy a number of kiddie
rides. After a somewhat quiet start in the early afternoon,
the crowd on the fairground and the streets steadily increased,
and in the evening hours there was barely any
room left to move. A special crowd puller was the party
mile on the market square with live music, food and
drinks, friendly conversation and amicable celebrating
with non-resident visitors. The highlight of the evening
was the brilliant fireworks display that truly enthralled the
crowd. On the Sunday morning, the party went on with
a morning pint event accompanied by the Heid music
band. Monday was a ‘day off’ - although not completely,
it must be said, as there was extensive partying at the
“Flunkyball”, the “Stammtisch Schützenfest” and the
merry “Planwagen-Fahrten” (trips on covered wagons).
The bric-a-brac market, also including sales stalls and
events from local restaurants and retailers, offering a
varied and interesting product choice once again, and
the large animal show on Tuesday marked the end of the
Kärmetze.

This year, the build-up of the Rutenfest (25 th to
29 th July) proved a feat of organisation, with the
majority of sho wmen arriving and commencing
the build-up of their attractions more-orless
on the same day.
The fairground directors having prepared themselves
for this situation in good time, were able to
guarantee a smooth, problem-free build-up procedure
without long waiting times for the showmen.
Not even the arrival with caravans at 2 a.m.
deterred them from welcoming the new arrivals in
person and allocating sites for caravans and
baggage vans. During the build-up, the showmen
proved very cooperative and considerate. Rides
presented on the fairground were “Rio Rapidos”
(Kaiser), “Devil Rock” (Steffen), “Transformer”
(Schmidt) “Musik Express” (Kinzler) “Nessy”
(Markmann) “Wellenflug” (Baumgartner), “Jupiter”
Ferris Wheel (Barth-Kipp), “Traumgenerator”
(Häsler-Lemonie), and Dodgem Track (Vogt),
along with a number of kiddie rides. When the

and sat in the beer gardens enjoying the

weather was rainy on Saturday and rather
unpleasant on Sunday, beautiful weather during
the historic procession on Ruten Monday resulted
in high visitor attendance. Despite forecast rainfalls,
the weather was dry on Tuesday, when a fireworks

operators could look back on a successful and
peaceful event.

RÖBEL/MÜRITZ
Meeting point for young
people: Engelbrecht’s
“Breakdancer”
With the “Star of Berlin”
(Lorenz), an attractive Ferris
Wheel came to Röbel/Müritz
Text & Photos: Kai Morawetz
The Seefest in Röbel on the shore of Lake Müritz is
one of the most popular Volksfest events throughout
the surrounding region. As a rule, the annual
highlight in the calendar of events of the small town
in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is held on the
third weekend in July.
This year, the 59 th edition of the most popular event on
Lake Müritz, held between the town harbour and the
medieval town centre of Röbel from 18 th to 20 th July,
offered three days of music, fun and high spirits once
again. The highlights of the Seefest were, among
others, the Neptune and Kiddie Festival on Friday, the
marketer mile in the fishermen's village on Saturday
and Sunday, as well as
the traditional ‘morning
pint’ event on Sunday.
Moreover, the event
was accompanied by
various musical and
dancing events. In
addition, visitors were
able to enjoy a fair built
up in the festival area in
the harbour, organised
for some years now by
the showmen Jens
Hamberger and Rainer
Taube. For the small
town, the entertainment
contingent offered
on the fairground was once again quite impressive
this year. Even though a “big hit” was missing, the
attractions built up offered something for all visitor
groups. Attractions presented were the “Breakdance”
(Th. Engelbrecht), the “Star Drive” dodgem track (S.
Engelbrecht), the family coaster “Tornado” (Domke),
the simulator “Time Visitor” (Walkhoefer), and the “Star
of Berlin” Ferris Wheel (Lorenz), offering visitors a
magnificent view across Germany’s largest lake.
Moreover, the newly designed Walkthrough construction
“Fantastic World” built by Rick Hamberger
himself some years ago, provided special 3D effects
and fun for the whole family, and younger visitors were
able to enjoy the nostalgic kiddie carousel (Harndt)
and a modern kiddie carousel from Probst. In addition
to two Continental pick stands, visitors also encountered
a shooting gallery and a ball throwing booth, as well
as the “Whirl Ball” attraction from Simone Freitag, built
by the Dietz firm, celebrating a successful première.
Among the beverage outlets, Jens Hamberger not only
presented his “Old Mile”, but also his new “Schnaps
Drossel” attraction, providing the visitors with drinks
and food, along with other drink, snack and sweets
booths. On Friday and Saturday, two fantastic fireworks
displays were held on Lake Müritz, the “Trilogie
des Feuers” to mark the opening on Friday evening –
financed by the showmen – and another brilliant fireworks
display that transformed the Röbel sky into a
colourful sea of flames. Despite tropical temperatures
throughout the event, the Seefest was very well
attended by locals and visitors from throughout the
surrounding region alike.

TILBURG (NL)
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
With 1.3 million visitors, this year’s Tilburg fair held from 18 th to
27 th July attracted fewer guests to the Dutch city in the province
of Nordbrabant than in the last few years.
One reason for the decrease in visitor numbers may well have been
the high temperatures of much more than 30°C at lunchtime on the
first opening weekend which, understandably enough, led to the
luring of only a couple of visitors to the 4.5-km festival-mile. Therefore
it was no wonder that a number of showmen did not open their
attractions at midday as usual, but somewhat later. Moreover, the
atmosphere was subdued this year due to the MH 17 plane crash
(as reported in the September issue), and a fire on the first opening
day that affected several attractions. The largest fair in the Benelux
once again proved tempting with a number of novelties and fast
rides. While the “Teststrecke” coaster, once again built up at the railway
underpass, was presented for the third time, the large
“Monster” swing and the “Tower Event Center"” were new for Tilburg.
Among the other debutantes were “Der Burner” (Meisel), the
“Hangover” swing, the “Das Omen” Walkthrough construction, the
“Dragon” family coaster, the “Commander” (Hanstein), the “Geister
Villa” ghost ride and the purple Ferris Wheel (Bruch). In the
nostalgic section, magnificent and well looked after carousels were
built up, taking one or two visitors back to the good old days. The
event was accompanied by a varied supporting programme including
the popular Roze Mandag and the fireworks display on the final
opening day.

For a proud 125 years, the British association, the Showmen's Guild of
Great Britain, also member of the European Showman's Union, has
been fighting for the rights and interest of its members, as well as the
Volksfests. A very special honour was awarded to the Scottish section
Representatives of the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain, among them President
David Wallis and Alex James Colquhoun, President of the Scottish
Showmen’s Guild, followed as invited guests the speeches of the parliamentary
representatives.
The Parliament initially congratulated the showmen on the 125th association
anniversary and wished them much success for the future. The representatives
further referred to the historic, cultural, and economic meaning
of Volksfests. The showman profession is an essential and integral part
of Scottish culture. The presentations and family friendly offers are unique.
The show-women and our showmen offer visitors an experience world that
one cannot experience anywhere else. At the same time they are experts in
the organisation of the events, and the safety of the ride constructions,
games and attractions. For this, the showmen and show-women deserve
the respect of the Parliament and the people of the country.

the name was changed to the Showmen’s Guild of Britain. The trade association
represents these days the interests of around 4,700 members and
their families in ten regional sections, among them Yorkshire, Southern
Wales and Scotland.

mourning Gust Dillen, member of the
board of the Belgian showman association
VBF/DFB and Belgian delegate
of the ESU, who passed away on the 17 th
August at 69 years of age.
With the passing of Gust Dillen, the
European showman family has lost a
personality, who through his tireless
engagement earned endless respect.
Gust Dillen was an important trailblazer
for the future of the Belgian and international
showman profession, and is a
role model for our youth.

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2014
EUROPE’S BEST THEME PARKS
EUROPA-PARK
Europa-Park was again very
convincing and elected as
Europe’s Best Theme Park in the
third European Star Award. The
family-operated park’s outstanding
position is secured by its innovations
and large investments.
Almost every season sees the
opening of a large attraction,
which naturally leads to an increase in visitors annually.
No other park has the good fortune of its operating
family being simultaneously a manufacturer of attractive
rides. And so Europa-Park is not only a tourist and
popular recreation destination, but at the same time is
a showcase for Mack Rides. This year’s new development
“Arthur und die Minimoys”, which reached second
place in the category “Europe’s Best New Rides”
should also be viewed from this aspect.
■
PORT AVENTURA
Quite rightly, the Spanish theme park
PortAventura has been voted 2 nd
place once again this year. Located in the
immediate vicinity of the Mediterranean
in sunny Spain, the park has a great
holiday atmosphere often remaining
open until midnight, and the mixture of
family friendly and breathtaking attractions make Port-
Aventura a unique experience that is attractive to both
families and young people. Additionally there are very
few parks in Europe that have made such large
investments as the theme park resort located near
Barcelona, presenting an unparalleled large attraction
almost every year.

DISNEYLAND PARK PARIS
The French Disneyland counts
without any doubt amongst the
best of the best. Added to that, this
European Disneyland contains
more thrill attractions (among them
two Looping Coasters) than any other Disneyland Park
in the world by far. So it’s not without good reason that
the Disneyland Park Paris has been voted to be in the
top positions again, as it not only offers enough variety
for children, but also for teenagers and adults. ■
EFTELING
At over 60 years of age the theme park resort in the
Netherlands stands for fairytales, fun, and entertainment.
It is a huge fairytale land for children, as well
as being a large theme park for young adults and
adults alike. The 200 hectare sized area also contains
the extensive holiday village “Bosrijk” in the style of a
small village. Particular value is also attached to high
quality shows such as “Raveleijn” and “Aquanura”. ■
TIVOLI GARDENS
The oldest, still existing
amusement park already
opened in 1843, and is still
located in the heart of the
capital city of Denmark. It is
not only an attractive theme
park dedicated to both tradition as well as thrillseekers,
but is also “Copenhagen’s parlour”, with
restaurants and concerts inviting guest to visit every
evening. Being open until midnight, the park offers all
night owls attractive rides, very often a party atmosphere,
and a fantastic sea of lights.

EUROPE’S BEST FAMILY PARKS
DISNEYLAND PARK PARIS
The largest resort in Europa by surface area and
visitor numbers is Disneyland and stands as a synonym
for a theme park. There’s not a second park that
brings such a sparkle into children’s eyes as far as fantasy,
adventure, and experience goes. The Resort with
its two parks, huge hotels and varied entertainment
possibilities each evening, is an individual holiday
destination, and in particular a universe for children.
There’s no other park that contains such strong trademarks
as Mickey Mouse, Cars & Co as Disneyland. ■
EFTELING
The earlier fairytale park has developed into a high
value theme park over the past decades with many
breathtaking ride attractions, which mostly do not exist
anywhere else. However the classic fairytale has never
been lost sight of, in fact quite the opposite. The fairytales
here often experience an interactive renaissance
that not only fascinates children. Connected up with
the park owned hotels and the huge overnight accommodation
resort, Efteling offers the perfect conditions
for the multi-day visitor.

HANSA-PARK
The Hansa-Park is located directly on the Baltic Sea
coast. This fact alone makes it something special.
However optically the park also has unique characteristics:
the theme areas are dedicated to the history of
the Hanse. Enriched with interesting attractions, the
park offers young thrill seekers enough large attractions,
for example the coaster “Fluch von Novgorod”,
as well family experiences. The beautifully growing nature
and the breathtaking view of the Sea make Hansa-
Park a real pearl in the theme park landscape. ■
LEGOLAND DEUTSCHLAND
The German Legoland is a success
model, which over the
past years in particular was continually
extended in the direction of
a multi-day resort. In the meanwhile
there are almost 1,000 beds
– more than in any other Legoland
worldwide. The focus naturally is
on the park where there is not only the obligatory Miniland
made of hundreds of thousands of Lego bricks,
but also a number of unique attractions for Lego,
among them for example the “Flying Ninjago” from
Gerstlauer. The secret of the success of all Legoland
parks worldwide however is the intergenerational fascination
for the small colourful plastic bricks that are
loved by both children and their parents alike. ■
PLOPSALAND DE PANNE
The Belgian Meli-
Park, operated by
honey producer Florizoone
between 1936
and 1999, already had
a bee-theme in those
days. However with the
takeover by the Belgian
company Studio 100, the very popular honeybee
Maya found a permanent and “real” home here a few
years later. Additionally the Plopsa Group extended its
home-park consistently, in order to present other well
known comic characters such as the little Viking
Wickie. In addition to over 30 ride attractions, the first
class theming that is attuned to popular European kiddie
series can really be considered as remarkable. ■

EUROPE’S BEST WATER PARKS
SIAM PARK
It is one of the most popular
tourist attractions on Canary
Island’s Tenerife – not only due
to its large number of slide
varieties, but also because the
water park that opened in
2008 has an unusual Thai theming,
as the name suggests.
Added to that, all the slides are
so well integrated into the
craggy terrain, so that there
was no need for any of the
often obligatory steel slide towers. Whilst a number of
the slides travel through pools occupied by sea
dwellers – such as through a shark pool – the 18.5 hectare
sized Siam Park also has the longest Lazy River
and a wave pool with the highest artificial breakers.
And last but not least, due to exemplary water management,
it is the first company in Europe that carries
the prestigious title “Green Water Park”.
■
COSTA CARIBE
The half Caribbean half Sesame Street designed
water park at the PortAventura Resort was opened
in 2002, and in 2013 was generously extended to twice
the size. Now available are 16 water slides from Pro-
Slide, a large wave pool, a children’s bathing area that
is just as large, and a huge relaxation lagoon area.
Costa Caribe also promises all thrill-seekers as well as
all children many refreshing moments under the
Spanish sun.
There is not
only the 31 metres
highest
water slide in Europe, but also many set pieces from
Sesame Street, which has existed in the neighbouring
theme park since 2011. Four park-owned theme hotels
round off the portfolio perfectly.

two swimming bays, a slide tower, a kiddie playground,
a number of restaurants and bars, and a huge
nude sauna world. Overnight accommodation is available
in the countless suites, in simple tents, or simply
on the loungers on the sandy beach. There is aroundthe-clock

AQUA FANTASY
Most probably the most beautiful holiday resort in
Turkey is situated directly on Mediterranean near
Izmir, and offers a gently

with bars, a number of

2,500 beds. The heart of
the large and most successful
all-inclusive-resort
in the county is the
water park opened in

EUROPE’S BEST NEW RIDES 2014
HELIX
Europe’s most varied
coaster opened
this year at the
Swedish theme park
Liseberg. “Helix” not
only has seven completely
different inversions,
but also two
launch sections, a track difference of 51 metres, and
a track length of an unbelievable 1,300 metres. Additionally
the ride experience from Mack Rides plays
through without any pause for breath on a green hill in
the middle of Göteborg, and there’s nowhere in the
park that the track course is completely visible. This
leads to many surprising moments – for both the
passengers as well as park visitors.
■
ARTHUR
The longest part of the 505
metres track course of
“Arthur” runs under the 16 metres
high dome of “Arthur – Im Königreich
der Minimoys”. It’s the
world’s first Inverted Powered
Coaster, in other words a coaster
with permanent current collector with hanging cars
that can even rotate horizontally. Simultaneously the
construction is a type of Darkride with skillful theming
and a brilliant onboard-sound system with a perfectly
coordinated movement sequence. Children can partake
in the four-minute coaster experience already
from a height of 100 centimetres.

SKY SCREAM
This coaster is not for the fainthearted,
because what Premier
Rides has realized here is a construction
for genuine white-knuckle-fans.
The 12-seat train is catapulted
into the skies by way of a
strong LIM drive, after which at the
highest point of almost 46 metres a
Heartline-Loop is experienced as
well! The 263 metres long and 99

Coaster “Sky Scream” extends the
ride portfolio of the park in the
Palatinate brilliantly.

CHIAPAS
Phantasialand has built a “state of
the art” ride in every respect with its
new water attraction “Chiapas”. Almost
all components are prototypes and innovations
from Intamin, for example
the switch-system that brings the boats
from one water canal to the other at
lightning speed. Additionally the new
construction has been themed in detail
fittingly to the Mexican theme area
where it has been wonderfully integrated
– as is usual for Phantasialand. ■

The first large Turkish coaster is
simultaneously a breathtaking
and top class construction. The
Launch Coaster from Intamin catapults
its ride guests 45 metres into the
skies directly after the kick-start. The
immediately following vertical drop is
even more exciting because the attractive “Top Hat”
element has been erected over a cliff of an earlier
quarry. This unique location goes for all of Vialand
Park, opened last year: the first modern theme park in
Turkey that to be located on an Istanbul hill. With its
new 660 metres long and 110 kilometres per hour
coaster, it can already be seen from far away. ■

EUROPEAN STAR AWARD 2014
EUROPE’S BEST STEEL COASTERS
SHAMBHALA
The coaster from B&M that opened in 2012, has a track
difference of 78 metres and is not only the highest in Europe
but continues to be the best. In actual fact it’s not only the height
that speaks for “Shambhala”, but also the consistently stringed
together parabola formed hills, which paired with the usual B&M
smooth course characteristics, also offers breathtaking airtime.
The 1,564 metres long airtime orgy is only interrupted by an overbanked
turnaround in the form of a standing eight, and the
nonetheless breathtaking view of the Mediterranean nearby. ■
EXPEDITION GEFORCE
Voted right to the top again this
year is the coaster that already
opened in 2001 from Intamin. The
location of the 52 metres high and
over 1,200 metres long “Expedition
GeForce” is Holiday Park. In addition to its smooth ride
characteristics thanks to the perfectly worked bends
and a varied layout with parabola hills, airtime hills, and
steep curves, the first drop offers an 80° steep descent
with simultaneous 90° rotation of the track axis. ■

ORKANEN
There has been quite a row of the so-called Family
Suspended Coasters realized by Vekoma. However
the customised example at Denmark’s Fårup
Sommerland really is something despite its manageable
track length of 453 metres, and it was considered
to be one of the best steel coasters in Europe this year.
It offers a number of airtime sequences at a continuous
high pace, several “near misses”, a spectacular
underwater tunnel, and a track course leading mostly
over the water surface.
■
OZIRIS
The spectacular Inverted Coaster “Oz-
Iris” at Parc Astérix has justifiably been
voted to a top position once again. The construction
not only has a very attractive track
course and an underwater tunnel, but the complete
tracks are – as is usual for B&M – is perfectly constructed.
The result is 35 metres of height and 1,030
metres of lengthy first class riding pleasure. ■
BLUE FIRE
The first Looping Coaster of their own production
was erected by the Mack family in 2009 in its own
theme park – and with that set new standards that are
of interest to many parks. The result is that there are
now a number of constructions of this type, some even
as a 1:1 copy. The 1,056 metre long and 38 metre high
“blue fire” at Europa-Park offers an intensive experience,
and simultaneously very high ride comfort. ■

EUROPE’S BEST WOODEN COASTERS
COLOSSOS
Since the beginning of our
awards, “Colossos” and
“Balder” have been in a neckand-neck
race. This year
Heide-Park’s gigantic coaster is
well in the lead again. Europe’s highest wooden coaster
captivates with perfectly designed parabola formed
hills resulting in maximum airtime. “Colossos” was
opened in 2001 and its 52 metre high and 1,344 metre
long ride offers accelerations from +4.5 g to -1.5 g. ■
BALDER
The special characteristics
of both
coasters “Balder” and
“Colossos” is the fact
that the wooden
tracks of both constructions
were prefabricated
exactly
according to calculations per CNC-milling, and with
that make possible an unusually and relatively smooth
ride experience for wooden coasters. The 1,070
metres long wooden coaster at Sweden’s Liseberg has
been erected on relatively compact grounds, however
without it being deprived of abundant airtime
moments. There are even many “near misses” whilst
travelling through its own wooden structure. ■

TWISTER
The fact that wooden coasters don't
always have to be big in order to
offer fun is proved impressively by the
2011 opened "Twister" at Gröna Lund
in Sweden. Airtime, lateral forces, crazy curves and
near-misses, as well as exciting turns make this Hybrid
Coaster (wooden tracks on steel supports) from The
Gravity Group absolutely unique.
■
JORIS EN DE DRAAK
This wooden coaster is both a
very stately and rare construction,
as in comparison to the USA
there are very few Racing Coasters
in Europe. One of these rare
examples is at the same time a
large-scale structure, as both
courses of “Joris en de Draak” from
Great Coasters are 720 metres
long and 22 metres high. Additionally
the tracks don’t always run parallel
to one another, so that in this
respect one could even talk of a
Duelling Coaster. Since the
opening in 2011, the ride offers a
whole lot of fun at Efteling in the
Netherlands.
■
MAMMUT
The fact that theme parks with well under one million
visitors can annually can erect and operate a very convincing
wooden coaster has been proved by the very likeable
Erlebnispark Tripsdrill. The 860 metres long and 30 metres
high “Mammut” from Cordes Coasters has been spoiling
park guests since 2008 with distinctive drops, sharp curves
and great airtime sections. Additionally there are also the sophisticated
theming and a surprising Darkride sequence. ■

EUROPE’S BEST WATER RIDES
DIVERTICAL
Avery unusual interpretation of a
Water Coaster is located at
Italy’s Mirabilandia. This successful
combination of coaster and
water attraction by the name of “Di-
Vertical” from Intamin begins with
a 55 metres high vertical lift. This is
followed by a deep drop and a
short dip into the cool wet, before
the speedy coaster sequence is
reached. As a finale there is more
water, this time however considerably
more refreshing. The total
length of this attraction is 800
metres (550 metres of the length
are coaster tracks).
■
POSEIDON
The attraction at Europa-Park is also a so-called
Water Coaster as it links together real roller coaster
elements with the advantages of a refreshing water
attraction. Two lifts have been built into the 836 metres
long and 23 metres high “Poseidon” from Mack Rides.
Each is followed by a coaster sequence with a subsequent
water sequence. The final drop has a built in
intensive airtime hill. Additionally, the water coaster
has been successfully integrated into the Greek
theme area and is also an optical pleasure. ■

RIVER QUEST
The perhaps highest, but definitely
most unusual Rapid Ride worldwide
can be experienced at Phantasialand.
Due to little space available, the
340 m long course is located on a number
of levels. The 20 m high vertical lift is followed by a
number of drops – the largest is 11 m deep! A whirlpool,
and even a freefall sequence – an enormous torrent of
water rips the round boats downwards – make "River-
Quest" from Hafema an innovative and unique Rafting. ■
VALHALLA
The indoor water ride at
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
has a length of 610 metres,
and a height difference of 18
metres. However it’s the incomparable
overall concept
(Design from Sarner; effects
from Technifex), that makes
the “Valhalla” from Intamin
something very special: the
elaborate design, the grandiose
effects, the variations in
temperature of – 20° to + 40°
Celsius, and – typical England
– the unbelievable degree of
wetness, are the outstanding
characteristics.
■
PINGUINE! ABENTEUER
With the new 2013 opened Sea
Life Abenteuer Park, the Merlin
Entertainments Group has
brought another attractive product
into its portfolio: the extension of the
popular SeaLife aquarium to an integral
theme park experience. And the main attraction
at the first park of this type is the water attraction “Pinguine!
Abenteuer Antarktis” from abc rides. Built into
the 250 metres long course there are a 14 metres high
drop and a ride through a penguin habitat – a very rare
combination in Europe.

EUROPE’S BEST DARK RIDES
TWILIGHT TOWER OF TERROR
The Freefall attraction at Disney Studios Park Paris has been chosen as
the best Darkride in Europe for the third time. Themed Freefall Towers
are extremely rare – especially when they as high as this one. The enormous
amount of ride fun with multiple falls is not for the faint-hearted, but in
this case everything simply fits correctly – even the waiting area is part of
the experience. The excellent overall design, the fantastic inside architecture
and the perfectly coordinated sequences make the 55.8 metre high
“Tower of Terror” with a lift system from Otis into a unique attraction. ■
RAVING RABBIDS
An unusual update of an already existing
attraction celebrated its reopening this
year: based on the video game “The Raving
Rabbids” from the French firm Ubisoft. Jora-
Vision developed a completely new, completely
wild and crazy experience with five
scenes, three-dimensional full HD-technology,
special effects and animatronics. ■

VAN HELSING’S FACTORY
It’s very seldom that an indoor coaster is convincing from beginning to
end. However the situation is quite different in the case of “Van Helsing’s
Factory” from Gerstlauer: starting with the queuing area over the station,
the ride itself right up to the exit, Movie Park Germany has managed to
create a consistent overall total experience, even though the attraction
itself is merely 400 metres long and has a maximum height of 7.7 metres
with two lifts.
■
DROOMVLUCHT
The indoor fairytale attraction that scheduled to
open in 1992 (the year when Disneyland Paris
started) was ready in 1993. The ride is enjoyed in open
suspended gondolas that carry passengers through
five different scenes. The 425 metre long ride taking
six minutes was realised under the direction of
Efteling. Playing an essential role was also the Trans
Lift firm which built the transport system with hanging
and rotating gondolas. The highlight is the coasterstyle
spiral, which conquers a height difference of 13
metres. The attraction was completely worked over for
the 2013 season.
■
KNIGHTS RIDES TOWER
Last year there was a world première
at the Austrian Fantasiana Erlebnispark
Strasswalchen. For the first
time a number of effects were combined
with each other in the indoor Freefall
Tower from abc rides, which
opened in 2013: before the fall takes
place from a 16 metres height, the 10-
seat “Knights Ride” gondola stops on various levels
where animatronics and video projectors present mystic
elements. The freefall also has two inbuilt features,
which are generally known from 3D-cinemas – achieved
by way of strips of rubber around the foot area,
riding guests have the experience of spiders climbing
up their legs, as well as the feeling that a thorn is
“boring” into their backs.

ANGKOR
Europe’s longest battle boat ride from Mack Rides opened this year:
“Angkor: Adventure in the Lost Kingdom”. The 323 metres long water
canal winds and meanders through the imposing and artificial temple
landscape of Cambodia. It takes a whole ten minutes for to enjoy the very
wet adventure at the Spanish PortAventura Resort that is operated without
any age restrictions whatsoever – in other words a real family ride. ■
DIE SCHLANGE VON MIDGARD
This attraction is the perfect “beginner”
coaster for future coaster fans for whom
Hansa-Park naturally also offers a lot of
variety right next door. However the nine metre high and
200 metre long “Schlange von Midgard” is convincing
with a lively layout, good ride characteristics and great
theming. There is even an indoor sequence with lift before
the ride proceeds into the outdoor area offering a
number of thoroughly speedy drops and curves over a
water surface. All park guests with a minimum height
of one metre may partake of the ride.

DE GROTE GOLF
Wickie the Viking has moved into Plopsaland De Panne and at the same
time also brought along a complete Viking village together with two
attractions. “De Grote Golf” is a 40-seat “Disk’O Coaster” from Zamperla that
has been thematically embedded into a rock massif and at the same time
marks the entrance to the new “Wickie Land”. The waiting area of the 92.5
metres long and up to 15.5 metres high comfortably running ride has also
been successfully designed.
■
MAMMUT TREE
It is the nightmare of every
skier: the crash of a ski lift
gondola. This however is
exactly what visitors can be
experienced at the Switzerland’s
Connyland as though
it were real. And if there
would have been a category
“Family-friendliest
Thrill Rides”, the new ride
construction called “Mammut
Tree” from Swiss Rides
would have won hands
down, as the attraction is
the perfect combination of
cable railway and breathtaking special effects.
The 16-seat gondola is brought to a controlled
crash in complete darkness, before returning again to
the lower station – a really innovative ride concept. ■
ALLIGATOR ISLAND
The theme park OK Corral in the south of France
opened a “Jet Ski” attraction this season from
Zierer, which is most probably the most beautifully
themed of its type. Not only are there nine gondolas for
two persons each, designed as alligators, but at the
edge of the major ride lurks a fine specimen of the
species that appears to be only waiting for one of the
other passenger to be thrown off.

EUROPE’S BEST ATTRACTIONS
VERTIGO
The“Vertigo”, which opened at Denmark’s Tivoli in 2009, is one
of the most unusual rides ever. The ride that at first glance
appears to be one of the current and popular “Propeller” major
rides produced by various manufacturers actually turns out to be
at second glance an innovative attraction, on which ride guests
can influence the ride sequence with two joysticks. In the case of
the 37 metres high “Flying Fury” (Technical Park term), one of four
passengers per gondola determines just how intensively the flight
manoeuvre should be experienced – at up to an impressive 100
kilometres per hour and with g-forces of up to 5.2 g. ■
TALOCAN
The “Top Spin” is one of the biggest sales hits for manufacturer Huss Park
Attractions, located in Bremen. The 18 metre high suspended-version can
be met up with at all the parks in the world, but it’s particularly the 2007 erected
“Suspended Top Spin” at Phantasialand that imparts a great and exciting
ride feeling due to its intensive theming for all the senses: water and fire effects,
and a setting that half encloses the ride is simply impressive.

FLYING NINJAGO
The ride experience of
the “SkyFly” attraction
from Gerstlauer is simply
innovative. The wind current
is quite enough to be
used cleverly by passengers
to cause a number
of inversions with a huge
sail – as many as one
wants. Every passenger
can decide just how thrillheavy
the ride experience
should be. The first
attraction from this construction
series is located
at Legoland Deutschland.

SLEDGE HAMMER
It was one of the world’s first
and Europe’s first “Giant
Frisbee” from Huss Park Attractions,
when it went into
operation in the 2004 season
at Belgian’s Bobbejaanland.
And with an outward swing to
the side of 120° – in the case
of a normal “Frisbee” it was generally
90° – a maximum flight
height of 42 metres and a
speed of up to 110 kilometres
per hour, the ride experience
was at that time still novel. A
ride on such an attraction remains
spectacular even these
days.

SYNKOPE
The manufacturer Mondial also offers such a large
swing construction with a rotating gondola. “Syn-
Kope” has been whirling passengers into the lofty

KINNAREE
Europe’s best water park also contains
Europe’s best water slide, as this year the
novelty “Kinnaree” stands right at the top for
the first time. Manufacturer of this combination
slide from the year 2012 is the Canadian company
ProSlide. This attraction that combines
various slide types offers a funnel slide, a sidewinder
(or rather the function of a steep curve as on a
coaster), and a number of tunnel sequences on a 200
metre length. Large four-passenger rafts provide for an
adequate capacity and disorientating spins on its own
axis. Despite its respectable size it could be perfectly
integrated into the sloping terrain, as with all other
constructions at Siam Park.

LE KING COBRA
The colourful and up until now unrivalled
“King Cobra” water slide
from Polin attained first place twice,
but was narrowly beaten this year.
However it still reached a substantial
second place.
The construction that
was erected in 2012 at
the French Aqualand
Fréjus Park was the very
first of quite a number of
structurally identical examples
produced. It initially
offers water park
visitors a type of figure-
8-sequence that is partly
roofed over before it
flows into an eight metre
deep and surprising
airtime drop. A sidewinder element awaits the passengers,
which is recreated as a snake head that sprays
water onto bathing guests. It features two side by side,
mirrored, courses that unexpectedly bring guests
together in the final sidewinder element.

FAMILY RATTLER
The combination of “Mega Tubes” in three different
lengths, each of which is connected with an open

Rattler” from Canadian manufacturer WhiteWater. The
four-person round “Mega Tubes” in which riders rise in
a Halfpipe style on both sides a number of times, have
a diameter of up to five metres. A 134 metres high
attraction has been erected on the Black Sea Coast in
the Georgian city of Anaklia, and is part of the water
park called Aqua-Lazika.

HIGH FLY
Avery unusual Bodyslide went into operation
at the Galaxy slide world that
opened in 2007 at Therme Erding: the
“High Fly” from Wiegand-Maelzer.
Viewed from the side it appears similar
to a ski jump, however in this case
there is no use of skis, but lying down
in a bathing costume. The start height
is a considerable 12 metres, and the
total length is 32 metres. Due to the
free flight there are strong restrictions:
only bathing guests from 15 years of
age and with a weight of between 50 and 85 kilos are
allowed to measure their flight.
■
SUPER COMBO
Four slides in the
first five placing
make it very clear
what is the current
trend: the combination
of various slide
styles to bring about
a new and unique experience. And the 21 metres
high “Super Combo” from Polin at the Turkish water
park Aqua Fantasy is no exception. It unites four elements
that have never existed in this combination before:
a pipe slide, a bowl-sequence, an uphill-slide and
a new type of sphere. These completely varied elements
are experienced in two-seat rubber tubes. ■

HISTORY
The "Berg und Talbahn"
(1913) at the Lunapark in
Harnburg-Altona; the park
was taken over by Hugo
Haase in 1922
Approaching a fair ground or a
theme park, one of the fir st
things visitor s see is a hug e
steel construction, already visible
fr om afar, soaring into the
sky, and from it come hysterical
screams accompanied by a low,
rattling, rumbling sound. It truly
is a “scream machine”, known
as “roller coaster”, which really
is a “thrill ride”.

Two European coaster
constructions in Paris in the
18 th century
Roller Coaster History from
The history of this attraction goes back to Saint
Petersburg in the 17 th century, when in wintertime
the local population built huge wooden scaffolding
with a sloping ramps. Water was poured
over the slopes and it would freeze, and the Saint
Petersburg residents would slide down over them.
True to the motto “faster, higher, larger”, familiar
right up to our current day, these constructions
started to grow increasingly taller even way back
then. Some were up to 21 metres tall, and from this
perilous height, thrill seekers sped down the icy
slope.
During the Napoleonic Wars, French soldiers saw
these unfamiliar constructions and took them home
to France, where the first constructions erected
were named “Montagnes Russes” (translation:
“Russian Mountains”) after their origin.
A particularly beautiful construction was the “Promenade
Aerienne”, with the attraction being integrated
into the architecture of the building and already
featured the first curves. This example shows
that coasters are an architectural ride experience,
and that architecture can be experienced as an
immediate body sensation; something that cannot
be felt elsewhere, with the exception perhaps of lifts
and escalators, which are also fixtures in fairground
attractions.
102

a Scientific Perspective
This is only one lineage of the modern roller coaster
however. Another comes from North America,
where the “Mauch Chunk Switchback Railway” is
the forefather. In Pennsylvania, gravity was used to
transport coal to the valley from a coal mine. Coal
was loaded at the top of the hill and the little wagons
simply rolled down. Wagons in the valley were
towed back up the hill again by donkeys. Upon
reaching the top of the hill, the donkeys were
placed without further ado into some of the wagons
and sent back down the hill. On perceiving that the
donkeys actually enjoyed the downhill ride, the
workers – never at a loss for ideas – thought that
might be fun for them as well, and so also sat in the
wagons and rode down the hill! Already a few years
later, this construction was used for transporting
coal in the mornings only, and carried passengers
from throughout the entire region in the afternoons.
All roller coasters, from the first stationary wooden
coaster right up to the modern Looping, Launch
and Hyper coasters, derived from these two ancestors.
What can be seen in both these lineages, from
Russia and the USA, is actually quite typical of
every amusement attraction. They are technical
installations created to provide fun. Originally, many
attractions like these are technical installations that
have been removed from their industrial production
context to produce non-industrious, intangible,
plain good thrills.

the Vienna Prater (built 1909)

predecessor of the modern
coaster: the "Mauch Chunk
Railway" (left) and the
"Switchback" at Coney Island
103

In central Europe it
was the transportable coasters
from 1909 that caused a furore:
the pioneer and carousel king
Hugo Haase travelled with a
number of structurally identical
constructions to the American
models simultaneously; one
notes the "8" on the tower peak
as his trademark
Roller Coasters with
elaborate theming very soon
made their appearances in
theme parks, often named as
"Gebirgs-Szeneriebahnen";
here earlier examples from 1913:
the Luna-Park am Halensee
(Berlin) and the Lunapark in
Leipzig-Wahren (right)
There are two types of thrilled feelings aroused by
a roller coaster; firstly a bodily or physical thrill, and
secondly a psychological one. Physical thrill is
stimulated by directly addressing the body. The
basic element of a roller coaster is the up and down
movement. This comprises two essential construction
elements, one of them creating the experience
of negative g-forces. The train travels up a hill, and
the moment it crests over the top of the hill and
drops down, the passengers are briefly catapulted
upwards. They seem to float out of their seats, experiencing
negative g-forces, or weightlessness;
“airtime” as this effect is called in official, 'roller
coaster language'.
104

By contrast, positive g-forces are experiences
when the train travels through a valley, travels up
again or into a loop. At this very point of the ride
passengers are subjected to a the multiplying of
their body weight. This lasts only for some seconds
however, before airtime occurs once again. As a result
a coaster ride is a kind of choreography, taking
the body to its limits and thus
creating a profound physical
experience for passengers
at the same time. This enhancement
of the body's
normal experience is one of
the reasons why roller coasters
have boomed during the
last few years.
In addition, a roller coaster
ride also appeals to the psyche.
Already during the runup
to a coaster ride, the
excitement builds up. Even
days in advance, excitement grows and grows, and
increasingly so with every step prospective passengers
take as they approach the construction on
the 'big day'. Eventually they find themselves standing
in the queue – another important element for the
roller coaster experience, as on the one hand they
hear the screams, which increase excitement yet
Heinrich Mack from
Waldkirch was very soon
strongly involved in the
construction of transportable
track attractions (all of wood):
the Bob Sleigh coaster (1952
upper left), the Monorail coaster
(1955 up left) and the “Turmbahn”
with a spiral lift (1921, left)
Popular at the beginning
of the 20 th century were also the
multi-month appearances of
exhibitions for which very often
a complete theme park was
erected; here the British Empire
Exhibition in Wembley in 1924
105

The oldest still operating
coaster in Europe is the "Rutschebanen"
at Tivoli – a classic
Gebirgs-Szeneriebahn from the
year 1914
The "Big Dipper" has been
enjoyed by all visitors at Blackpool
Pleasure Beach since 1923
The "Hullámvasút" has
been operated since 1926 at Budapest
Zoo (earlier Vidámpark)
again, and on the other hand, they see the safely
disembarking passengers, which inspires confidence
that the infernal ride will end well! Of course,
a ride on a roller coaster is also a test of courage,
yet it is much more than just that. Those who have
taken a ride on a roller coaster know the two ideal
types of riders; those holding tight and closing their
eyes and those, more often than not sitting directly
next to them, shooting their arms up in delight.
As different as these manifestations are – the introverted
holding fast, the extroverted screaming and
arm-waving with delight – both types of riders have
the same ride experience, and are focused on
thrills. Psychologists distinguish between 'ocnophils',
that is to say 'lovers of thrills' and philobats,
or those erring towards hesitation, if one will. According
to Michael Balint, both types follow different
strategies to reach the same goal; namely to be
at 'one with the world'. For him, as an advocate of
Sigmund Freud’s theses, the world is represented
by the mother’s breast. It is characteristic of lovers
of thrills that when breast-fed they spat out their
mother’s breast and went back to it again in order
to make sure of 'being one with it' through this
primary interaction. Lovers of hesitation, on the
other hand, clung to the breast and did not want to
let it go, in order not to give up this pleasant bonding
experience.
This psychological typology can easily be applied
also to other everyday phenomena, such as horror
films. Some people cannot watch and keep their
eyes closed, while others expose themselves to
these impressions seemingly full of self-confidence.
These films are often called thrillers or
psychological thrillers, featuring the term Balint
uses for this phenomenon, namely thrill. Thus the
term “thrill rides” is highly appropriate for a roller
coaster.
106

But why is it attractive to expose oneself to thrill or
fear? Human beings are one of the few creatures
with a reflective self-awareness, which has the
advantage that they can form an opinion of themselves
and their environment. The price for this ability
is the awareness of their own vulnerability and
mortality. These are two elementary anthropological
anxieties, mythologically adapted as the biblical
'expulsion from Paradise'. Human beings learn
that they are mortal. However, death is an experience
that cannot be grasped cognitively as nobody
can imagine their own death. This thought is so
painful that human beings try to avoid it. These anxieties
are joined by everyday worries. Will everything
work out with my job? Will there be problems
in my relationship? What about money? Anxieties
can have physical effects that can cause further
worries.
The special feature of the unique medium, roller
coaster, is its ability to make one forget all these
worries by providing a thrill. At the point of maximum
thrill, all existential worries are forgotten. This
experience is combined with a substantial enhancement
of bodily experience, providing for a
short-term unity of body and mind. Passengers
experience a state beyond daily life; it
is a train journey to Paradise. This way,
roller coasters have an important function;
they expose humans to an immediacy
they rarely experience in
daily life, but which is necessary to experience
reality in an unreserved way.
For the duration of a roller coaster ride,
humans are natural beings. Thus the
roller coaster is a good example for a
special feature of human culture,
which on the one hand is based on removing
human beings from their naturalness, thus
creating culture. At the same time however, human
beings have to experience their naturalness to feel
themselves as vital beings. In this way, culture provides
gates to a world beyond daily life; it creates
wormholes to the extraordinary.
This feat makes the roller coaster a cult object of
popular culture, where this function is used as a
symbol, from pulp fiction series, such as John Sinclair
with the meaningful title “Rollercoaster into the
Afterlife”, biographies such as “Das Leben ist eine
Achterbahn” (“Life is a Rollercoaster”) by Martin
Semmelrogge, or guide books on raising children
The first attempts to
turn passengers upside down
were already taking place since
the middle of the 19 th century
(see poster from London);
looping constructions called
"Flip Flap Coaster" were being
erected from 1900 in the USA
(photo above in Atlantic City,
photo under in Brooklyn)
The double coaster by the name
of "Loop-the-Loop" was erected on Coney
Island in 1901, and already had elliptical

Roller coaster post
cards from showman and park
owner Hugo Haase
with the title “Rollercoaster to the First Milk Tooth” to
serious scientific literature, such as the guide book
on depressions called “Roller Coaster of Sensations”.
Naturally, there are a high number of advertising
photos featuring roller coasters in the background
and, of course, roller coasters also appear
in essential films scenes; for example most notably
in the film “Rollercoaster” with George Segal and
Richard Widmark. This pop cultural inclusion is
rounded off by pop music ranging from characteristically
German Schlager, as well as pop and rock
music (for example by Rosenstolz or Die toten
Hosen) to internationally successful songs, not to
forget the probably best known title “Life is a Roller
Coaster” by Ronan Keating.
However, the metaphor of the roller coaster for
human life is far more than mere symbolism, as the
coaster ride itself makes passengers experience
human life sensually. This is wonderful to see in
modern Launch Coasters, where the train is
launched from the dark station by a linear drive, and
travels on through different inversion elements after
the first hill. Symbolically interpreted, this means
that human beings are launched from the uterus
into life, the first hill is childhood, the first drop
puberty, from where the turbulent journey goes on
to first love, school-leaving, family, divorce, unemployment,
new job, up to a smooth braking into
retirement. However, many roller coaster rides end
just as abruptly as real life.

Parks and Social Media
We wish to introduce the first results of our
theme park monitoring. These results will
convey how relevant social media is for this branch.
Additionally we hope that it may well inspire you to
further ideas and suggestions, for further analysis.
We have been observing the discussion volume on
the web with our tool "Radarly" since the middle of
April 2014, in respect of the following theme parks:
Europa-Park, Phantasialand, Tripsdrill, Movie Park
Germany, Heide-Park, Legoland Deutschland,
Hansa-Park, Belantis, and Holiday Park.
Our tool gathers information in addition to mentioning
websites (for example Blogs), about social networks
such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram
also. Additionally we measure the performances
of the Twitter and Facebook channels of
the various theme parks, as well as their relative
websites.
Discussion Volume (Total)
We were able to identify 22,652 mentions in the
period between 01.05 and 13.08.2014. During the
season it could be observed that the discussion
volume increased considerably during the summer.
The largest volume was generated by the following
social media channels: Twitter (11.2K), Facebook
(3.8K) and Foren (863). Media sites (e.g. Spiegel
Online) generated 1.5K and other websites (5.1K),
also playing an important role.
Considerably fewer contributions were observed
on Blogs (81) and YouTube (66). As these types of
entries are of a bigger effort and mostly of a higher
content quality, the volume should be classified as
notable.
The large number of Twitter entries is due to two
reasons: firstly the younger target group (< 20 years
of age) is very active (35% is active). Secondly the
low privacy settings allow for a better observation
of the channel.
Total Volumes
As already apparent during the process, the
volume in general is of a very high standard. Even
without discussions in the social web fuelled by
advertising promotions and other actions, smaller
parks also reached over 500 mentions in the course
of time. Europa-Park has the most mentions by far,
which can be led back to a very strong media presence
(due to events such as the Miss WM voting).
Heide-Park and Phantasialand each drop by 3,600
mentions, which on an average means 34 posts a

Total discussion volume
day. Movie Park and Legoland with 2,114 and 1,347
mentions respectively, are slightly behind. Holiday-
Park, Hansa-Park, Belantis and Tripsdrill have approximately
2,500 postings. When one compares
these rankings with the visitor numbers, there is a
similar picture (cf. Global Attraction Attendance
Report 2013, own data).
Media Channels
During channel comparison one can clearly recognize
the relevance of Twitter, with the larger theme
parks in particular having the bigger share of Twitter
mentions. Europa-Park in comparison has a lower
proportion, but this is compensated for by the very
high number of Facebook mentions. Media and
similar websites enjoy on average one-third of the
mentions. Infrequently contributions could be
identified in forums and blogs. In addition to already
referred-to reasons, very often the motive of the visitor
to make a posting is to inform friends what they
are currently doing, for which fast-paced mediums
such as Twitter and Facebook are more ideal.
Performance of the Social Media Profile
In the following section we have analysed the profile
of a number of theme parks by comparison: the
data relates to the month of June, and each of the
changes relate to the previous month. The engagement-rate
is calculated by the number of the
interactions (Favs, Likes, Shares, and Re-Tweets)
divided by the number of followers/fans. This is an
established indicator suitable for the measuring of
activities on certain channels.
Twitter
In the case of mentions only explicit references to
the channels are intended (in the case of Twitter the
linking with a @ sign). Europa-Park has by far the
most fans, but it can be seen however that only a
low proportion of its followers move to interaction,
such as the case of Heide-Park. This phenomenon
is shown often in channels with many followers, as
there are frequently "fake fans" among them.
Despite the high potential, the examined theme
Peak (1) refers to
28.05.2014; On that day two
employees were injured during
work on the coaster "Arthur";
Peak (2) on the 30.05.2014 leads
back to the Miss WM voting,
which took place at Europa-
Park, and about which many
media sites (yellow) reported;
through shares, the number of
mentions increased on Twitter
and Facebook also on that day

Impressions and themes:
Pictures from the entrance and
Family videos are popular
parks play scant attention to the Twitter channel,
and post little of their own subject matter. Three of
the five theme parks posted under 10 articles in the
past 3 months. Additionally, the channels are mostly
treated as "poor relations" and mostly and often
consist of only copies of Facebook communications
(for example @legoland_DE or @holiday-
ParkHP). Belantis has even waived the Twitter
profile completely.
Facebook
Facebook is substantially more established in the
theme park branch. Each park has its own page
and fills it more or less regularly with contents. In
the following diagram the number of postings has
been shown as a comparison. For example Europa-
Park shows that theme parks are self-propelling,
and even without activation measures, can generate
high engagement rates. The outstandingly high
number of commentaries on the Phantasialand
postings can be led back to a competition, whereby
free tickets were raffled among the commenting
users.
The fan numbers and the engagement rates of
theme park profiles are comparable to large international
brands: IKEA Germany (680,637 Fans; E-
Rate: 0.21), Burger King Germany (674,100 Fans;
E-Rate: 0.06), DB Bahn (332,400 Fans; E-Rate:
0.19). In comparison to the German fan pages such
as "Places / Event-Locations", in Germany, the rankings
of Phantasialand, Europa-Park, Heide-Park
are under the Top-10, and Movie Park is in 13 th place
(cf. Socialbakers 2014).
Performance of the Websites
The page ranking is a key performance indicator
introduced by Google that can accept the values of
1-10. As comparison: t-online.de has a page rank
of 6 – mentions refer to the references/linking of
websites in the complete data record. The website
of the parks shows a similar picture. The number of
mentions depends strongly on the PR-activity
altogether, and the news on each of the relevant
sites. Europa-Park and Legoland are very active in
this area. An additional reason for the very good
page ranking of Legoland could well be that the
park guests are younger, and that the website is an
important information channel for the parents.

Selfies and Onridepictures
via Twitter
Impressions and User Themes
Summary
The contents that are disseminated are mostly very
visual. Subsequently we have closely examined a
number of themes and situations that can be frequently
identified. The way to the theme park is captured;
the entrance to the park is one of the most
popular motives. And the attractions are photographed
from outside and from the cars – similar to
a trophy. A Selfie is a must for most visitors in a ride
construction or during a break, and they are a widely
spread phenomena particularly among the
younger generation. Definition of a Selfie is a photo
taken with a digital camera, showing mostly the
photographer together with others in a special location
or in a particular situation. It is a snapshot
taken with the idea of making it public in social
networks (Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter). Very
often social networks offer additional functions
such as filters or the possibility of integrating tags.
We also discovered another phenomenon: young
families posting elaborately arranged compilations
of their theme park visit.
The theme park discussions volume is of a very
high standard, when compared to other branches.
Contributions from visitors predominate in volume.
It's the younger visitors in particular who use Twitter
and other channels in order to give account of their
experiences and fun. The articles are predominantly
positive and non critical. Communication
media that are visual and fast-paced such as
Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are mostly used.
Unused potential: despite less activity by theme
parks on the various channels, the follower/fan
numbers are on the same level as large international
brands such as Burger King, Adidas and
others. The users integrate with the profiles without
invitation and even place postings (for example
with @ at Twitter).
Due to the positive tonality, social media is perfect
for bringing increased attention with low triggers.
That means that a positive posting for a theme park
is classic word-of-mouth propaganda, and therefore
is of particular value.
A general media presence
leads in the case of Europa-
Park to a considerably increased
presence in the
web, mainly driven by media
sites. Negative catch lines
can be noticed in the discussion
volumes, which can
spread. Another interesting
phenomenon could be discovered
on YouTube: young
families making their visit to
a theme park public with
elaborately arranged compilations.
Overall it is shown
that a visit to a park is of huge
emotional value for the visitor,
similar to a concert visit
or a classic holiday. ■
