KALEIDOSCOPE
20 YEARS “ENTENKÖNIG”
Hook-a-duck from Michael
Zahn and Monika Zahn-Kleuser
Text & Photos: Nils Benthien
For 20 years, Monika
Zahn-Kleuser and Michael
Zahn have been successfully
touring their hook-aduck
throughout Germany.
The couple had toured a
mobile bar when Monika
Zahn-Kleuser came up with
the idea of the hook-a-duck.
Over the years it has
become a habit with many
Monika Zahn Kleuser and
“Entenkönig” Michael Zahn
(rear) with their daughters
Michelle, Lisa, and Jessica
(f.l.t.r.)
friends and colleagues to call Michael Zahn the
“Entenkönig”, or Duck King. All members of the
family, including the now adult daughters, have
contributed and brought to fruition many ideas. As
a result, every partaking child gets a “fishing
permit”, and after fishing 10 times, receives a
certificate from the “Entenkönig” as a bonus. Moreover,
the children can watch children’s films at the
attraction. The duck house (size: 6 m x 2.5 m) is
elaborately and lovingly decorated. A special
feature is the large duck at the attraction which welcomes
the visitors. In summer, a short jet of water,
and in spring and autumn a short blast of air issue
from from the duck’s bill. The showman family Zahn-
Kleuser are still very happy with its attraction and
will remain loyal to it.

KIDS RACER

Frederick Feuerstein
and his “Kids Racer”
kiddie quad track
At the Frankfurt Dippemess in
the autumn, Frederick Feuerstein
celebrated the première
of his “Kids Racer” quad track
that he took over from a
private individual a couple of
months ago.
Prior to its première, the
young Frankfurt showman
prepared the quad
track for touring, building, for example, a
backflash with racing motifs and equipping
the whole construction with small
crash barriers. At the attraction, with
ground measurements of 19 x 15 metres,
seven to ten quads are available to children,
who are allowed to take a ride from
the age of five – all wearing safety helmets. A preopening
was held at a minor event in Stromberg
prior to the Dippemess. As a rule, children very
much enjoy the rides on the low-powered quads,
powered by a two-stroke engine. The quad track
is loaded and transported on one transport
vehicle.

SCHLITTENFAHRT
Text & Photos:
Uwe Holzmann
New owner: On 19 th September,
Yvonne, Kay, and Philip Thelen
from Nienburg celebrated their
première with the “Schlittenfahrt”
that they had purchased
from the Noack firm this
summer, at the Oktoberfest in
Hanover.
Yvonne and Kay Thelen have
already operated the “Top In”
dodgem track and several
bakeries for a number of years.
After all, Kay Thelen had grown up
with his parents’ travelling
confectionery operation, and has
successfully managed several
other operations in this sector. The dodgem track has
been operated by Yvonne Thelen’s family for some
decades now. The Inge Bruch firm from Andernach had
purchased the “Schlittenfahrt”, built by Mack in 1980,
and operated it up until late 1993. In 1990, the tunnel
was removed, the light grid and light assemblies in the
rear section of the track were extended and the front
was newly designed by the afaw firm. After several
changes of ownership (for a short term it was also “at
home” in the then “new” federal states), the construction
was taken over by Hans Noack from Lemgo in
2002, technically and visually overhauled, and quite
successfully operated throughout Germany up until
2013. Due to his advanced age, Hans “Seppi” Noack
wanted to part with the “Schlittenfahrt”, and in Kay
Thelen he found a successor who will operate the
attraction together with his 20-year-old son Philip. The
attraction has already been equipped with a LED-light
system and new arms, and now its gondola frames will
be overhauled by an expert firm to meet the
DIN EN 13814 standard during the coming
winter. Supported by his parents, Philip
Thelen, who has already acquired the
necessary experience from the build-up and
operation of his parents’ dodgem track, wants
to operate a family-friendly “Schlittenfahrt”
providing pure ride fun in order to gain
regular guests and 'repeat' riders. This
concept turned out to have been very
successful already at the Oktoberfest 2014 in
Hanover, when the newly purchased ride was
veritably besieged.

LOS CHURROS
“Los Churros”
attraction from Ramona and
Michael Frickenschmidt
Text & Photos: Nils Benthien
Since the beginning of this
year, Ramona and Michael
Frickenschmidt from Osnabrück
have been touring
their new “Los Churros”
attraction, in which they
prepare the popular
Spanish national Churros
pastries.
The sales wagon has been
designed as a Spanish Finca
matching the product on offer,
and was built according to
their own ideas with axles that
can be hydraulically lowered by their friend, a
mechanic. The attraction has ground measurements
of 4 x 2.50 m, and has been equipped with LEDlighting.
Roofed-over dining areas are available on
both sides. The Churros dough is prepared according
to the original Spanish recipe, and the pastries
are offered with three different chocolate and eight
fruit sauces. For the Maiwoche event in Osnabrück,
the timber-frame and the slate roof were covered in
yellow and white, and for Christmas the red interior
panelling will be decorated with black and white foil.
In addition to their sales wagon, Ramona and Michael
Frickenschmidt continue to tour their model railway
training show.

PIT & ESTHER LENGNER

Pit and Esther
Lengner: After decades with the
Wall of Death now touring the
“Jump Street” Miami
There was an unexpected encounter at the
Kirchweih in Nürnberg-Langwasser, where Pit
Lengner, called “Kamikaze-Pit” and his wife Esther
presented their Miami.
In the caravan after closing time, he talks about the good
old days on the vertical Wall of Death for hours on end,
rousing a lot of memories and getting all 'glossy-eyed'.
Pit is, and remains a motorbike fan born in Stuttgart/Bad
Cannstatt; one who has practised the sport under
extremely dangerous conditions, one who has toured the
major fairgrounds of the world and has also appeared at
the Munich Oktoberfest. But the world has changed, and
the show booth at Volksfest events may well have no
future. The organisers place the attraction off the circuit
course and the visitors do not seem to have time for a 15
to 20-minute show programme. Pit Lengner does not get
any younger either; he is now 61 years old. Time has
required action, and they have changed the attraction.
The “Jump Street” Miami, consisting of one transport
vehicle, featuring smoke effects and trick fountains, is
now its successor. Pit and Esther are happy though that
the Wall of Death they sold will live on. It is built up as a
fully operational attraction in the huge “Motorcycle Pedia
Museum” near New York, where the show booth, including
the transport rig, is fully operational. Every winter the
couple are to be found relishing a trip down memory lane
whenever performances are held. They have been on
tour for 35 years now and have put down their life story
in writing. The result is a 220-page book including a
large number of photos describing their career, without
steering clear of the less fortunate strokes of fate in their
lives. For those interested, the book costs €20, Title: “Ein
Leben für die Steilwand”. Authors are Esther and Pit
Lengner, published by Huber Verlag, Mannheim 2012.

The Dutch Court has now given
a verdict on “knock-off ‘Freak
Out’ type KMG rides”. KMG
Manager Peter Theunisz advised
the Kirmes & Park Revue of the
relevant details.
COPIES & PLAGIARISM
“A Dutch showman was operating a copy of the
KMG ‘Freak Out’, built by a Czech manufacturer,
and KMG had brought this matter to court. This
ride came from the same manufacturer as
several other copy rides. Similar copies are
produced by other manufacturers in Poland,
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria; and in
Asia. On Thursday, 2 nd October 2014, the Dutch
Court decided that the ‘Freak Out’ is protected
by copyright law and that Czech copies (under
the name of Hang Over) infringe our copyright.
Style effects, model details, technicalities
employed, colours, and decorations are copied
“1-on-1”. According to the judge, the manufacturer
and owner have neither investigated
possible solutions to build a similar ride that
does not infringe our copyright, nor have they
attempted to give this ride a design that
distinctively differs from the KMG 'Freak Out'.
According to the verdict, it is not just the colour
scheme but also the (wrongly) used techniques
that prove that the manufacturer and owner have
built and operated a copy ride of the KMG
'Freak Out'.
The owner is no longer allowed to operate this
copy ride in the Netherlands and he will be fined
for every day the ride will be open for public use
in the sum of €20,000. Moreover, he also has to
pay all trial expenses, and the ruling also means
that the owner cannot sell the ride to any
potential buyers in Europe, the US, Australia or
elsewhere. KMG will take legal action against a
possible new owner or buyer in any of these
countries. KMG is not against the sale of the
copy ride to any foreign market where KMG is
not represented. We, the company of KMG,
would like to point out that we may and will make
claims against potential buyers of these copy
rides, and naturally will take legal action against
any manufacturer or buyer who constructs or
operates an illegal copy of the 'Freak Out'.
Moreover, there is the option to contact KMG
directly to find out if it is possible to purchase a
license for such a ride. The ‘Freak Out’ is subject
to copyright law. Of course, it will be necessary
to investigate in each country and in each
particular case if a copy is infringing this copyright.
In Europe we have jurisprudence, which
means that different courts in different countries
will comply with the verdict of the initial legal
case.

WILD AMAZONAS
Filling a product gap:
“Wild Amazonas” from Kaiser
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
Alexander Kaiser from Frankfurt celebrated a
successful première with his “Wild Amazonas”
kiddie water ride at the Bad Vilbel Markt.
He built the attraction that provides children with
an adventurous ride in canoes through the jungle
and passing lizards, monkeys and crocodiles,
completely on his own. Even though Alexander
Kaiser came up with the idea of building a water
ride for children eight years ago, he was able to
set about realising his plan only last year. The
tracks and canoes were ordered at suppliers, and
the construction was then built on the company
premises in Frankfurt – a procedure that lasted for
a number of months. The entrance area is a
container completely covered with wood, and the
roof was decorated with bast mats and bamboo.
Alexander Kaiser attached special importance to
providing decorative elements that were both
plentiful and as authentic as possible along the

NEW PRODUCTS
The attraction after sundown
– beautifully illuminated
course, which was set out in meticulous detail.
While kiddie water rides are, for example, presented
on fairgrounds in Luxembourg and France, the
“Wild Amazonas” is a unique ride in Germany. The
ride, with standard ground measurements of 14 x
8.50 m can be built up in different sizes. Depending
on the space available, the
construction that boasts 6
canoes – each accommodating
three children – can also be built
up with a depth of 14 m. Two
pumps provide the required
flow of water, and in the evening
hours the ride through the
jungle is lit by spotlights. It
takes about one day to build up
the construction with electrical
requirements of 32 kW, which is
relocated loaded on two transport
vehicles. After its première,
the “Wild Amazonas” made
further guest appearances at
the Laternenfest in Bad Homburg
and at the Frankfurt Dippemess.

Première in Weert:
“The Tower” from Ordelman/
Fun Projects
The fourth transportable Freefall
Tower from Austrian manufacturer
Funtime (following the
examples for Goetzke, Zinnecker,
and Maier) was completed
punctually by the delivery date
agreed upon at the end of
September. The owners of “The
Tower”, as the construction is
called, are Ad Ordelman and his
son Willy from The Netherlands,
who will tour the attraction
together internationally under
the company name Fun Projects.

The Tower
Actually, it is already the Ordelmans’ second
Freefall Tower, as innovative Ad Ordelman
already presented and gathered initial experience
with an attraction like this back in 1999.
However, it was a much smaller version then, built
by the Italian manufacturer Fabbri. As previously
mentioned, “The Tower” is the fourth transportable
tower delivered by Funtime. In contrast to its
predecessors, this attraction features a quite
striking difference – the rotating gondola. In the
autumn of 2013, Ordelman approached Funtime
explicitly asking for an appropriate suggestion
with regard to a rotating gondola.
After a number of calculations and negotiations,
it turned out that a gondola function
like this was feasible but only if it was accompanied
by a reduction in the number of seats.
The new, more compact gondola has the
same weight as the 24-passenger construction.
A larger rotating gondola would have required a
new construction of the tower – and the project
would have exceeded the acceptable financial
budget. As a result, the Ordelmans’ new Tower
has 18 seats instead of 24. The rotating gondola
provides passengers with a terrific view in all
directions and allows for a varied ride pattern.
Depending on the number of passengers, the
gondola does one to four rotations at the highest
point, before the freefall. Currently, “The Tower”
requires four transport vehicles; with one centre
trailer constructed as an articulated vehicle, the

other one as a trailer. Due to limited space on
Dutch fairgrounds, a backflash was deliberately
omitted. With a special permit from the Dutch city
of Weert, where the attraction celebrated its
première, it was possible to commence with the
build up on the Monday, so that the attraction was
ready for operation in time for the opening of the
fair on Friday afternoon. “The Tower” immediately
turned out to be the top attraction at this year's
Weert Fair, being very well accepted by the
public, with very long queues forming in front of
the attraction, particularly in the evening hours.
With Nijmegen and Breda, another two large
Dutch events were on the tour schedule after
Weert, before “The Tower” travelled to Hong
Kong, where it will be presented as one of the
highlights at a 70-day event. In March 2015, the
attraction will be back in Europe in time for the
beginning of the new season.

XXL APRÉS SKI

Baby and Toni Denies
For the coming year, the showman
firm Denies-Kipp from Bonn
has announced a new, fully
themed giant swing that is to
commence operation in March
2015 - the “XXL Aprés Ski”.
As was the case with the previous
model that the company will now
part with, this construction is also built by KMG. “After
six years of ‘XXL’, we have decided in favour of this
new purchase”, says Toni Denies. “The theming in
particular”, he continues, “is to provide a distinctive
contrast to other swings and bring new highlights.”
The last “XXL” appearance under the management of
Denies-Kipp is to be in Dinslaken in November. In
addition to a theme design (among others a 3D backflash)
from BB Decorateurs, the new attraction is to win
over the public by way of its expansive details, such
as lockers where passengers can lock their mobiles
and other valuable objects during the ride, available in
an “Ice Bar”. Nitrogen canons are to be built in to
provide special effects. Moreover, the attraction will be
equipped with the latest LED-technology, spotlights
and lighting elements – with a 5-metre tall, swinging
“Schneegipfel”, or “snow summit” on the top of the
attraction, being the “icing on the cake”, so to speak.■

“Air Bag Jump” – Jumping from

The “Air Bag Jump” jumping construction is
a novelty in Belgium.
Mike Cattin will present the construction at,
among other venues, the autumn events in
Tongeren and Hasselt, Belgium. The principle of
the attraction is quite simple and easy to explain:
Visitors pay €5, are taken to the top on a mobile
scissor lift platform and can jump down into a
large air cushion (from different heights); a
'purist' form of a “Freefall”, so to speak! ■

677 th ALLERHEILIGENKIRMES SOEST
Text: Michael Petersen
Photo: Stadt Soest
For decades, the Soest city centre has been transformed into probably
the most beautiful fairground in Germany from the first Wednesday
after All Saints' Day up until the following Sunday. This year, the
rides will make their rounds right in the historic medieval city centre
and between romantic timber-framed houses from 5 th to 9 th
November. Once again more than 1 million guests from near and far
are expected to come to the 677 th staging of the largest medieval city
fair in Europe.
The showmen look forward to Soest, as it is the last occasion to earn
money during the fairground season. Even though the city centre is
narrow and full of nooks and crannies, and despite strict safety
regulations, free spaces of more than 50,000 m 2 can nonetheless be filled
up with rides, funhouses, sales wagons, games booths, snack and
beverage stalls. For years, the city authorities have succeeded in newly
laying out the Allerheiligenkirmes and providing visitors with both novelty
and old-established attractions. This year, more than 400 showmen have
received coveted contracts for the oldest fair event in Westphalia,
officially documented for the first time in 1338. From more than 1,700
applications, the organisers have put together a fair event with a number
of novelties and relocations. In addition to 17 kiddie rides, 25 large rides
and funhouses were contracted this year. Built up directly in front of the
railway station will be the “Breakdance No.2” (Bonner), “Alex Airport”
(Goetzke) and the “Chaos Airport” (Haberkorn) as a novelty for Soest.
With Oberschelp’s “High Impress”, Howey’s “Happy Sailor”, and
“Artistico” from Köhrmann, an attractive ride trio will be available to the
visitors at the entrance to the medieval city centre. Following further along
the course, there will be the looping swing (von Olnhausen) and, as
another novelty for Soest, the “Fahrt zur Hölle” ghost ride (Dom-Jollberg).
Moreover, Schmidt’s “Transformer” and the “Super Hupferl” (Scheidacher)
will be built up on their traditional site on Hansastraße. The market
square, forming the heart of the Allerheiligenkirmes, will be occupied this
year with the Musik Express from Krause as an indispensable classic ride
and Markmann’s “Nessy”, als well as “Hexentanz” (Markmann) and – as
yet another Soest novelty – the “Jekyll and Hyde” Propeller from Thelen.
On the square north of the St. Petri Kirche the “Bellevue” Ferris Wheel
(Bruch) will provide its passengers a magnificent view with Gusowski’s
“Phoenix” whirling its passengers through the skies in front of it, whereas
H.O. Schäfer will invite the public to a ride on the “Shake & Roll” on the
south side of the church.
With the “Spuk” (Sipkema-Lütjens), yet another debutante will be built up
near the city hall, directly adjacent to St. Patrokli Kirche, and Wendler’s
Wave-Swinger will retain its traditional site next to the Topfmarkt. The
square at Großer Teich will accommodate the “No.1” dodgem track
(Isken), “Wilde Maus” (Münch) and the most spectacular Soest novelty,
the “Skyfall” free fall tower (Goetzke). With the “Traumgenerator” another
debutante will be built up in front of St. Maria zur Wiese church, followed
by Krameyer’s “Big Monster”, the Soest cult ride. Directly adjacent to
Theodor Heuss Park, the “Beach Jumper” (Wegener), “Big Wave” Miami
(Milz), and the “Hard Rock Drive” dodgem track will retain their traditional
sites. Moreover, Pott’s historic market will invite the public to a trip down

memory lane at the well-known and successful location opposite the
market square, where the “Jahrmarkt im Fackelschein” (market illuminated
by burning torches) makes the most striking visual impression. The
Sunday prior to the opening will be an interesting day for fairground fans,
due to the fairground vehicles arriving in the city, the build-up of
attractions beginning, and the information booth, providing a cornucopia
of merchandising products including the very coveted collector pin
featuring the Soest Jägerken in a limited edition of 5,000 pieces, being
already open. For once, the Soest Jägerken this year will be clad in a
black, red and gold outfit and decorated with a football featuring four
golden stars. Moreover there will be an ample selection of pointed caps,
postcards, a scarf, cigarette lighters and other products. The Soest
tourist information office will hold a backstage tour on this very Sunday.
On 2 nd November, a journey through the history of the Soest Allerheiligenkirmes
can be experienced in the Soest fairground cinema in Johannes-
Gropper-Saal at the Patroklushaus. At 1 p.m., 3.30 p.m. and 6 p.m., the
development of the Allerheiligenkirmes from 1930 to the year 2000 will
be presented in video sequences – most of which have never been
shown before – coming from private archives, at an entrance fee of €3.50.
A fixture in the event programme is the large horse market with a traction
engine market, market criers, farm supplies, and a large bric-a-brac
market held on the area from Osthofentor up to Thomätor on Thursday.

The success story of the Basle Autumn Fair, the
oldest and largest fair event in Switzerland,
began on 27 th October 1471. It opens a fortnight
before St. Martin’s Day and closes on the
following third Sunday every year. On Saturday,
25 th October at 12 o’clock this year, the sounding
of the bell from the tower of the Martinskirche will
open the 544 th edition of the event, which will
close on Sunday, 9 th November. The bric-a-brac
and experience market on Petersplatz will once
again be open two days longer, up until Tuesday,
11 th November.
The Basle Autumn Fair is more than a Chilbi or fair
event. With its more than 540-year tradition and its
special customs it is one of the city’s cultural assets.
As a traditional city-centre fair, the event attracts
about one million locals as well as national and international
guests to Basle every year, and ranks
among the fair events with the highest turnover in
Switzerland. Almost five hundred sales and handicraft
stalls, snack and beverage booths, as well as
ride and funhouse attractions of every kind offering
something for everybody, will spread across seven
fairgrounds and the exhibition hall 3. Due to the
special charm and flair of its varied kinds of fairgrounds,
the Basle Autumn Fair is highly popular

Wir freuen uns sehr, auch in diesem Jahr mit unserem KULT-KLASSIKER, dem ORIGINAL MACK-CALYPSO
an der BASLER HERBSTMESSE dabei zu sein und unsere zahlreichen Fans aus nah und fern sowie unser
anspruchsvolles und treues Basler Publikum einmal mehr restlos begeistern zu können.
Der zuständigen Bewilligungsbehörde danken wir herzlich für
das uns entgegengebrachte Vertrauen und empfehlen
uns allen Veranstaltern für die Saison 2015.

with the Basle citizens. Every single fairground has
its own concept and enjoys masses of visitors,
especially at the weekends. The fair and market unit
from the foreign relations and marketing department
at the authorities of the Canton of Basle are
responsible for the organisation of the Autumn Fair.
With the selection of attractions and the layout of the
individual fairgrounds, the organisers once again
succeeded in putting together an appealing and
exciting Autumn Fair, taking into consideration the
topography of the different city-centre fairgrounds.
From the perspective of all seven fairgrounds, the
Petersplatz will offer a very special flair. Families in
particular will be attracted to this fairground by many
sales stalls, culinary delicacies, kiddie rides and a
Punch and Judy show. Moreover, the idyllic fairground
also accommodates the so-called "Hääfelimäärt",
where ceramic wares have been sold for
time immemorial. In the so-called “family corner”
visitors will encounter a Punch and Judy show, two
kiddie rides, a chain ride, a kiddie Ferris Wheel and
a pony ride. Moreover, children can play at the “Robi
Spielaktion” for a couple of Francs under supervision,
enabling their parents to enjoy a stress-free
stroll across the Hääfelimäärt. From the Barfüsserplatz
visitors can proceed on to the Münsterplatz,
the actual origin of the Basle Herbstmesse, in just a
couple of minutes.
Apart from the Ferris Wheel providing a magnificent
view across the city, this area will accommodate
mainly family-friendly ride attractions this year;
namely the Musik Express, “Flying Swinger”
dodgem track, slide, and
“The Game”, as well as two
kiddie rides and a Jet Ride
for the younger visitors.
After a short walk from the
Münsterplatz, visitors will
reach the Barfüsserplatz in
the city centre, known as
“Seibi” or “Barfi” to the
citizens. As almost everybody
has to pass this
square, this fairground,
which will entice the public
with the “Swing Up”, the
“Free Style” Miami and a
kiddie ride this year, is
quite crowded throughout
the event. The Kasernenplatz,
used as a fairground
only since 1995, will be
largely dominated by
speedy rides. This year,
visitors will be able to enjoy
the “Super Chaos” swing,
A good orientation for
visitors is this sign giving

The most spectacular
Basle-novelty: Freefall Tower
"Swiss Tower" from H.O. Maier
After the good reception
last year, once again at Basle:
the "Wiener Prater
Geisterbahn"
“Maxximum”, “Breakdance”, “Discovery”,
“Euro Coaster”, “Spring
Tower”, “Panic Room”, “Allotria”,
“Disco Labyrinth” and a kiddie ride in
this location. With the “Swiss Tower”,
the fairground, located within walking
distance from the Kasernenplatz or

eachable by the tram route No 6 will offer a top
novelty ride, along with the “Calypso”, “Mocca
Cup”, “La Sauterelle”, “Tower”, and the walkthrough
construction “The Tunnel”. On the opposite
side of the street visitors access the exhibition hall
from the Riehenring, where the “Wiener Prater
Geisterbahn”, “Telecombat”, simulator, dodgem
track, “Surf Dancer” Hully Gully, looping swing and
the “Funhouse” will provide a colourful mixture of
ride and funhouse attractions this year. From the
exhibition hall, it is only a couple of metres to the
Rosental area. On this traditional fairground, visitors
always encounter a mixture of exciting and familyfriendly
attractions; this time there will be the “VIP
Schaukel”, “Star Flyer”, “Crazy Run”, “Freddy´s
Company” dodgem track and the nostalgic “Rössliritti”
carousel.
The variety of ride attractions and coasters –
unrivalled in Switzerland – on all the fairgrounds and
in the exhibition hall, will be rounded off by an
ample and colourful mixture of every kind of
concession stalls, snack and drink booths offering
culinary delicacies, as well as many kinds of
confectionery.

PREMIÈRE
Première at the Munich
Oktoberfest: Karl Häsler’s
“Encounter”
Is there a more exclusive venue
than the largest Volksfest in the
world, the Munich Oktoberfest,
to celebrate the world première
of a major new showman
attraction? No, there isn’t. However,
if the première does not go
smoothly due to various circumstances
and problems occur,
this special première venue can
easily turn into a curse, as there
may well be no other Volksfest in
the world that enjoys more
publicity and media attention
than the Munich Oktoberfest.

Encounter
To clear matters up right from the outset: all the
technical problems occurring at the première in
Munich can easily be solved. “Häsler would not be
Häsler if he could not manage”, Karl Häsler proclaimed
in Munich! The construction base of the new
“Encounter” was the basic structure of the unforgetable
"Sensorium” theatre, of which there is nothing
much else left.
The “mental” foundation evolved in Karl Häsler’s
brain; namely to present a transportable show
attraction never seen before at a Volksfest. The
concept of the show in brief:
38

In detail: paybox,
waiting and entrance area
Initially, visitors only watch – but gradually they
become part of a scientific experiment which goes
badly wrong in the end. Accompanied by loud noise
and wafts of mist, the creature created by the
scientists, escapes from the seemingly safe protective
glass of the huge metal cylinder standing in
the middle of the auditorium.
Visitors enter an old deserted factory building and
take a seat in an auditorium (80 seats – in four-row
sections to the right and left). The 7-minute show
begins:

The entire show is accompanied by sound effects

Christian Wildermuth, who was also responsible for
The liberated creature seems to be moving around
the room -now completely dark - and due to the
numerous effects partially integrated into the seats,
the monster seems to be very, very close to the
visitors! That's a brief description of the script and
story so far.
40

PREMIÈRE
The show begins
the sound at the “Sensorium” and the “Traumgenerator”.
The Art Studio Bernhardt was contracted
for the design and artwork of the imposing
“Encounter” façade, and did a fantastic job.
The time for the Wiesn drew nearer, and eventually
the transport vehicles arrived at the Munich
Theresienwiese, the attraction was built up, and the
little problems, “issues” and delays took their
course. At the official media tour shortly before the
beginning of the Oktoberfest, Karl Häsler could
explain only in his own words what was to happen at
his Wiesn novelty in front of the “Encounter” – the
participants could neither enter
the attraction nor get a life experience!
The first Oktoberfest
weekend went by – but the doors
to the “Encounter” remained
locked. During the first opening
week, the attraction was open at
least occasionally – and Karl
Häsler told the Munich tz newspaper:
“Some of the technology
works. The rest will be repaired
during the night.” Moreover, the
“sound and light system and the
mechanics integrated into the
seats simply did not work
properly.” Up until the end of the
Oktoberfest, the “Encounter" was
operating most of the time – but
only with a limited programme.
The entrance fee was reduced
from the original €8 to €5. However,
at the paybox, visitors were
not told however that the show could be experienced
only with limitations. Therefore it was no wonder that
many “Encounter” guests were quite disappointed
when they stepped out of the two exits at the end of
the show. Karl Häsler felt deeply sorry for them, and
did not mince matters in a short interview with the
Kirmes & Park Revue, but explained some of the
problems in detail. For example, according to the
TÜV the shoulder restraints at the seats had to be
dismantled as the passengers’ shoulders would
have been subjected to a weight of more than 15 kg.
Moreover, due to delays at the suppliers of the seats,

escapes from the huge metal
cylinder – and seems to be

PREMIÈRE

a number of planned effects could not be realised –
such as the “head massage spider” that emerging
from the upper section of the seats to give visitors
the impression that the escaped creature was
crawling over their heads. Moreover, Häsler told the
Kirmes & Park Revue that for safety reasons a grid
had to be mounted in the middle of the auditorium,
which had never been planned for. Furthermore,
there will also be changes made to the waiting area
where, among other requirements, screens are to be
installed. At the end of the interview Häsler was convinced
that the construction will operate to its full
extent – with all the planned effects – in the coming
weeks. Visitors will be able see this for themselves
at the only other appearance of the attraction during
this season at the Hamburg Winterdom. ■

SPECIAL
Calm before the storm:
the crowd on the fairground
slowly increased only from
9 p.m.
The small community in the
Spanish province of Huelva in
Andalusia is located some 6 km
off the Atlantic Coast, not far
from the border with Portugal. In
August, one week after the Feria
de Huelva (the largest Volksfest
in Andalusia), the smaller but
very attractive Volksfest in Lepe
is held.

Classic rides:
Skid ride and dodgem track
Even though the fairground is located on the outskirts
of the town, it can be easily reached on
foot. For the Feria, a section of the access road to
the town centre is closed to road traffic, and given
over to accommodating numerous booths and
stalls serving national specialities. In addition to
Spanish delicacies, visitors who love pizza, hamburgers
and sausages also get their money's
worth. Among the culinary favourites – particularly
favoured by the local public – are without doubt the
Churros offered in ample varieties, ranging from a
palatable pudding filling enclosed by a strong

SPECIAL
“Tagada” with
illuminated backflash, and
mini-coaster “Tokito”
fairy lights and LED ornaments. About a dozen
games booths, such as dart and cans throwing
operations, shooting galleries and Continental pick
stalls were spread across the area this time. On the
evening of our visit to the event, rides began to
make their rounds at 9 p.m. – initially with modest
attendance. Later on however, almost all of them
operated at full capacity up until late at night – even
the kiddie rides made their rounds until well after
midnight! The layout of the harmoniously occupied
small fairground was well worth seeing. Top
attractions were the “La Ufo” track ride, on which
brave passengers were pulled up some 40 m and

SPECIAL
A typical Spanish
Volksfest peculiarity, the

role – incorporating the
passengers in their jokes
Also presented was the “Tren Los Niños” railway
attraction enjoying cult status in Spain. It is available
in umpteen versions and can be encountered
at many events throughout the country. Here the
railway, going round in circles with two clowns who
“annoy” the passengers in a witty way, is not the
only entertainment offered to visitors. Often one of
the two clowns was waiting for the train in the inner
area - equipped with black light - and followed the
train to the outside. It did not take long, however,
before the train disappeared into the dark again,
accompanied by loud applause and much
laughter, for the game to begin again. The “Super
E.T.” Tagada with an amply illuminated backflash
also provided a lot of fun.
48

Several
attractions are also available as
junior versions. Inflatables are
included in the entertainment
contingent
49

SPECIAL
Kiddie rides and track rides
are built up a number of times
A goal wall shooting and
sweet delights in Lepe
The operator really knew how to entertain the
public with funny interludes during the ride. As a
result, large crowds were constantly forming in
front of this ride. The show was accompanied with
many fog and light effects. The Saltomontes ride
“Flipper” built up directly next to it
was very popular especially with
the family public.
The regular attractions on Spanish
fairgrounds – and naturally also
presented in Lepe – are “Toro
Locos” constructions, where the
public sit on a beam designed as a
buffalo. After the start, the beam first
turns gently to the right and to the
left. Shortly after that it also lifts and
lowers – and with accelerating
speed most of the guests fall down.
The winner is the “rider” who holds
fast to one of the beams for the
longest time. The younger visitors
were able to try out their skills in a
“Toritos Locos” kiddie version of
this attraction, which was not only
great fun for the children, but also
for the parents watching their
offspring desperately holding fast
to the beam, but only to finally fall
down in the end. A dodgem track,
which had come directly from the
earlier Feria de Huelva, caused
quite a furore due to its opulent light
show, with a lot of neon lights, fog
and laser effects, as well as its
larger-than-average track.
Further rides presented were the “Latigo
Andalucia” Zic-Zac and the “La Carcel” Rainbow
version, where passengers can complete the ride
standing. Annoying factors were the loud music
from the loudspeakers and the extreme noise level
at most of the rides. Those thinking there is a recordbreaking
noise level on Dutch fairgrounds would
soon think again in Lepe! Conversations in front of
the attractions were impossible unless people
shouted very loudly at each other. Also on offer was
a varied and ample selection of kiddie rides. In
addition to the aforementioned “Locos”, a kiddie
Saltomontes, various kiddie rides, the “Tokito”
roller coaster, the “Turtles” track ride and a dodgem
track were available for the younger guests. ■

A LOOK BACK
CRANGE

opening at the Crange: Heino

“So geht Kirmes” or “so goes the fair” was the
slogan of the 579 th Crange Fair, which once again
enticed about 4.3 million visitors from 1 st to 10 th
August. At the end of the event it may well be said,
“Yes, this is really the way a fair goes.”
Even though the weather was not exactly ideal
throughout the event, Crange was nonetheless spared
both heavy rain falls and excessively high temperatures
this year. Visitors rushed to the fairground every
day, bringing most of the showmen good to very good
results. Visitor attendance was particularly high during
the two weekends and on Family Day, with the last
Saturday being extraordinarily well frequented. The
President of the German Federal Showmen and
Marketers Association, Hans Peter Arens, said this
was the final Saturday with the highest attendance he
could recall. The Crange Fair was opened in the richly
decorated Bayernfesthalle early on the Friday afternoon,
in the presence of more than 2,500 early waiting
guests, including about 500 guests of honour invited
by the city authorities. The opening ceremony started
with a small mishap, however – the procession of the
traditional flags into the beer tent was not accompanied
as usual by music! This did not distress DSB
President Albert Ritter though; he simply asked the
guests to stand up and accompany the flag-bearing
procession by rhythmically clapping their hands. In the
meantime, Vice Chancellor Siegmar Gabriel had entered
the beer tent through a side entrance, and accompanied
by the tune "Glück auf - der Steiger kommt" (an
old miners' song), Lord Mayor Horst Schiereck and
other guests proceeded into the beer tent. After the
traditional tapping of the keg and brief speeches the
52

guest star Heino performed,
earning a chorus of whistles
for his greeting “Dear Herne
residents”.
Heino gave his performance in
his new rocker outfit, and enthralled
the public with his rock
cover songs, and at the end of
his show, he also sang his own
well-known hits.
Fairground director Sabine
Marek had once again carried
out a number of changes. With over-the-top rides, the
section opposite the Alpina Bahn made a rather
crowded impression, however.
“Flasher”, “High Energy” and “The King” were too
much of a good thing for this limited space. The
Bremen row accommodated the “Wilde Maus”, the two
novelties “Mega King Tower” and “Horror Lazarett”,
and there was a small nostalgic corner between the
“Twister” and the “Bodenmühle”. The Crange
debutantes “Geisterstadt” and “Predator” established
a conspicuous new presence. All in all, 17 round rides,
14 kiddie rides, 9 fun house attractions, show booths
and walk-through constructions, 7 major rides, 5
dodgem tracks, 2 ghost rides and a water ride were
spread on the 11-hectare fairground this year. The ride
and gastronomy passes could also be bought online
this time and were quickly sold-out. The souvenir shop
at the Crange gate was very well frequented this year,
and the new merchandising products sold like hot
cakes. This year, visitors were able to book “Crange-
Erlebnisse” (Crange Experiences) from the Stadt-
GROSSENHAIN
marketing Herne. On offer also were culinary rides on
the Ferris Wheel, special seats in a box with service for
the fireworks display, a backstage tour, a fairground
tour for children and a culinary stroll across the fairground.
These experiences were offered in a beautiful
brochure and were sold-out in no time. As they turned
out to be real hits, further experiences are to be added
to the programme. Crange is a family-friendly fair experiencing
an upward trend, and nobody has to worry
about its fruitful, enduring existence. Actually, there
was generally only positive news to report, and the
Crange review should have been excellent this year.
Unfortunately, the final report on this year’s Crange Fair
proved to be negative in almost all the media however,
as shortly before the closing fireworks event there was
a mass brawl involving some 60 participants at a
dodgem track in which two police officers were also
injured. This incident is under investigation, and next
year appropriate measures are to be taken to ensure
that such an incident will not occur again, marring the
otherwise positive results.

This year, the district town near
Meißen was host to the “Tag der
Sachsen” (“Day of the Saxons”)
celebrated for the 23 rd
time. The largest city, association
and Volksfest event in
Saxony has always been held
on the first weekend in
September since 1992.
On the “Wochenende der
Sachsen”, or “Weekend of
Saxons” from 5 th to 7 th September,
hundreds of thousands of visitors
rushed to the town to get to know
the Saxon customs, the flair of the
town and the Saxon savoir vivre,
as well as extensively celebrate.
55

A couple of days before build
up, the Auenstraße fairground
was completely flooded. On the
muddy ground it was hard to
manoeuvre the transport
vehicles
Throughout the event, the town was divided into
three event zones; a cultural zone in the town centre
with numerous presentation stalls, stages and
events, a sport and play zone in the Sportpark
Husarenviertel, and a rest area in the town park. All
over the town, sports clubs, choirs, and music
groups provided a happy atmosphere. Moreover,
entertainment and concerts involving popular rock
bands and pop stars were offered on the 15 entertainment
stages and four media stages in the town
centre. In terrific weather conditions, visitors seized
the opportunity to get an insight into the work of
craftsmen, stroll around the market stalls, or try out
the large number of participatory offerings. On the
11,000 m 2 Auenstraße fairground, on the edge of the
cultural zone, an amusement park was built up,
organised by the showmen Klaus Kunze and Olaf
Liebold from the Dresden Showman Association.
Continuous rain during the week prior to build up had
changed sections of the area into a lake land that
eventually turned muddy. At times the water was
about 20 cm deep, so that a number of showmen
were able to move their transport vehicles on the fairground
only with the help of several traction units.
After the event, the showmen had the resulting deep
ruts removed. As there was not enough power available,
the large attractions were connected to three
powerful generators. The selection of fairground
attractions offered entertainment for everybody.
Rides presented were the Ferris Wheel from
Schubert, “Breakdance” (Meyer), “Flipper” (Splitt),
“Top In Express” (Bachmann), “Drop Attack”
(Bereit), and the “Mexico City” family coaster (Walkhoefer-Fischer).
The show and fun sector was represented
by the ghost ride from Hünniger and the
“Crazy Outback” walk-through construction (Hofmann-Jehn),
and younger visitors were able to enjoy
a carousel, a Jet Ride and a track ride. Three Continental
Pick Stands, three shooting galleries and a
hook-a-duck invited the public to try their luck and
marksmanship, and a bakery as well as a number of
snack, confectionery, and beverage operations
provided the visitors with food and drinks. Due to
marvellously sunny weather and pleasant temperatures
visitors virtually besieged the event especially
on Saturday. As the fairground was also well
attended on the other days, the showmen were quite
satisfied with their financial results. On the Saturday
evening at about midnight, a fireworks display
changed the Großenhain sky into a colourful sea of
lights. The highlight of the three-day event was the
festival procession on Sunday with 4,000 participants.
Shown in 170 pictures societies and clubs
wound through the town for two-and-a-half hours. ■

the fairground the mayor insisted on making
announcements over this ride’s p.a. system. With
Landwermann-Henschel’s “Caesar´s Wheel”, a Ferris
Wheel was once again presented at the event after a
long absence. Moreover, visitors encountered the
Musik Express (Noack-Ahrend), dodgem track

the “Montgolfiere” (Zarnikau). The younger visitors
were able to enjoy several kiddie rides this time. A

The 25 th edition of the
Stunikenmarkt in Hamm/
Westphalia was held from 19 th
to 23 rd September. The event,
named after the local
merchant Johann Bernhard
Stuniken, always takes place
on the third weekend in
September.
Up until the 1960s, the fair
attractions were built up on
Richard-Matthei-Platz in the
town centre. Due to the square
being developed, the fair could
no longer be held here, but was
relocated to the outskirts. After
prolonged negotiations between
the Showman Association
Hand in Hand and the Hamm
authorities, the Stunikenmarkt
has again been held in the town
centre, spread out all around Paulus-Kirche since
1990, and has enjoyed great popularity with both
the local population and the showmen. This year,
the organising showman association succeeded in
presenting a harmonious fairground with about 90
showmen. Santa-Monica-Platz accommodated
the “Super Gaudi” Miami (Schneider-Sonntag),
Musik Express (Wendler), the “Voodoo Jumper”
(Schäfer), “1001 Nacht (Hartmann) and “Hexentanz”
(Markmann). Built up all around Paulus-
Kirche were the dodgem track (Isken), “X-Factor”
(Deinert), “Geister Hotel” (Burghard) and the
“Around the World” (Cornelius). The younger visitors
were able to enjoy the kiddie rider (Isken), the
“Bounty” kiddie swing-boat (Bossle), “Safari”
kiddie trackride (Wendler) and the kiddie chain
ride (Schneider). Moreover, a number of games
and snack booths could be encountered. The
event was opened on Friday afternoon by Lord
Mayor, Thomas Hunsteger-Petermann, and the
Chairman of the showman association, Uwe
Röhrig. In addition to free beer and ginger bread
elephants, visitors were able enjoy free rides for
half an hour at all rides, where long queues had
already formed prior to the opening. Tuesday was
the designated Family Day with considerably
reduced prices and the market was closed with a
fireworks display.

Frankfurt Volksfest and is held twice a year. While
the fairground on Ratsweg opens its gates for three
weeks in April, the “Dippemess im Herbst” (Dippemess
in autumn), as it is now officially called,
always takes place in September, this time from 12 th
to 22 nd .
The organising Tourismus und Congress GmbH
succeeded in contracting many novelties for the Main
metropolis this year. Making first-time appearances
were the “Predator” (Löffelhard), “Sky Trip” (Hartmann),
“Atlantis Rafting” (Vorlop), the “Jekyll & Hyde”
Propeller (Thelen), “Chaos Airport” (Haberkorn), and
the “Roue Parisienne” Ferris Wheel (Burghard-
Kleuser) along with the “Breakdance” (Schramm),
“Wellenflieger” (Roie), “Wilde Maus” (Göbel), “Jaguar
Express” (Geisler), and the “Alpha 1”. Rides presented
once again were “The Game” (Weber) and the

“Fantasy Drive” ghost ride (Heinen), which stepped in
for another ghost ride at short notice, as well as the
“Adventure Shuttle” (Sottile), two dodgem tracks and
various kiddie rides. Moreover, many games and
snack booths, some of them with cosy beer gardens
invited the visitors to linger and enjoy. The showmen’s
review of their financial results ranged from dissatisfied
to disappointing, as after a weak first weekend, the
weekdays turned out to be a financial disaster for some
of them.
Business was very good on the Family Day though,
and on the second weekend visitor attendance was
much better than on the first. Nevertheless, turnover
losses could not be made up for. Due to extensive
advertising, the layout of the fairground, and the
varied supporting programme, a considerably higher
number of visitors had been expected. One can only
hope that this year’s poor résumé was nothing but a
flash in the pan, and that future events will succeed in
matching former results.

The Hanse Sail in Rostock is the largest maritime
Volksfest in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Since 1991 it has been enticing numerous large
and traditional vessels and more than one million
visitors to the Hanseatic city every year during the
second weekend in August. With more than 200
traditional vessels and many unique ships from 12
nations, this year’s 24 th staging of the event was
as “maritime” as never before.
In addition to the meeting of proud windjammers,
lovingly preserved traditional vessels and museum
ships, visitors were able to enjoy a colourful Volksfest
with interesting cultural and entertainment offerings
for everybody for four days. The event was held
across seven venues; in the city harbour, on the
premises of the former Neptun shipyard, at Gehldorf
Ufer, in the IGA Park, in Warnemünde, Hohe Düne
and on the Warnow, as well as on the Baltic Sea itself.
The event was focused on several core themes: Ships
in action, sailing trips, a colourful market, varied
entertainment programmes, competitions in the
sailing stadium, the gunner meeting and the Mini-Sail
in the IGA-Park. Seven stages, a colourful market and
a fairground with ride and funhouse attractions, as
well as a colourful assortment of concession stalls
organised by the Großmarkt Rostock GmbH, shaped
the scenes in the city harbour. The selection of ride
attractions was somewhat disappointing this time,
though.

“Breakdance” (Groß) and
“Speedy” (M. Welte) in Rostock
Above all, visitors missed a large coaster or water
attraction, as well as another speedy ride. The
heralded crowd puller cancelled its contract at short
notice and could not be replaced with another one.
For the first time, the “House of Horror” walk-through
construction (Plaenert-Schieck) was presented at the
Hanse Sail. Other attractions built up were the
“Liberty Wheel” (Gormanns), “Wiener Sportrad”
(Taube), “Speedy” family coaster (M. Welte), “Musikladen”
(Hedt), “Sound Machine” (K. Welte),
“Drachen” mini coaster (Thiede), “Fantastic World”
Simulator (Walkhoefer), “Breakdance” (Groß),
“Berliner Rutsche” (Bungardt) and the dodgem
tracks “Hot Wheels” (L. Welte) and “Hot Cars” (Rathsack).
Moreover, the “No Limit” Propeller (van
Reeken), and the “Shaker” Miami (Venekamp) had
come from the Netherlands once again. The younger
visitors were able to enjoy the “Happy Cars” kiddie
ride, a kiddie chain ride, the “Dschungel Trip” and a
kiddie carousel.
The kiddie carousel from Köllner was relocated to
another site, where it could be fully built up with roof
and rounding boards at long last. In the last few years,
this ride had always been placed in front of a
restaurant, where it had to do without a roof so that
the guests in the restaurant had an unobstructed view
of the traditional vessels sailing by. A number of
snack, confectionery and beverage operations
provided the visitors with food and drinks.
Financial results differed depending on the sector.
While operators of ride and funhouse attractions were
satisfied or very satisfied, business at snack and
beverage operations did not live up to expectations.
“The 24 th Hanse Sail was a successful trial run for the
25 th event next year. Preparations and the
organization of this ‘Silver Sail’ are a big chance for
all of us to further enhance the quality and the sustainability
of this wonderful maritime festival,”
summarized the Rostock Lord Mayor Roland
Methling.

OLDTIMER PARADE IN CRANGE
Text & Photos:
Michael Petersen
On the occasion of the Crange Fair, the “1 st Oldtimer
Parade” with numerous historic showmen vehicles was
held on Monday, 4 th August. Initiator of the parade was
Albert Ritter, Chairman of the Historische Gesellschaft
Deutscher Schausteller, or Historical Association of
German Showmen.
The organisation of the parade was energetically supported by
the Herne Public Order Office and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der
Schausteller, or Showmen Associations' Working Group, in
North-Rhine Westphalia. The response exceeded the
organisers’ expectations by far. With considerable optimism
they had expected 25 vehicles at the most, but there were in
fact many more! All in all, more than 70 vehicles, including just
a few modern traction units took part in the parade. The
participating vehicles, ranging from historic tractors and towing
vehicles from the 1960s and 1970s to the latest traction units,
clearly demonstrated the technological development of
mobility in the showman industry. Additionally presented were
veteran cars, regular motor vehicles with caravans and trucks
from the post war years. Even old fire engines used for
protection against fire at the Crange Fair joined the parade.
Showmen had come with their historic treasures from all over
Germany, many of them not even being participants in the
Crange Fair. The car park at the Bochum Jahrhunderthalle,
where a historic fair has been held in wintertime for some years
now, had been chosen as the meeting point. After a communal
breakfast and the subsequent inspection of the vehicles, the
Oldtimer Parade began at 1 p.m. The course proceeded
through Bochum up to the Herne city hall, where Mayor Horst
Schiereck climbed on board, before it went on to the fairground.
“I would never have dared to dream that so many showmen
colleagues would put their treasures on the road for our very
first parade. I am truly overwhelmed!” said initiator Ritter on his
arrival with the troupe at the fairground, where he introduced
every vehicle to the visitors. At the end of this superb event
covered by the media in every detail, every participant
received a certificate of honour. That done, there were extensive
joint celebrations!

PORTRAIT
Built by Zamperla:
Spengler’s “Alpen Blitz”
The Swiss showman family
Spengler from Zurich have been
operating track rides since 1980,
when Konrad Spengler purchased
the “Alpen Blitz”, built by the
Schwarzkopf firm, which celebrated
its highly successful
première at the “Grün 80” horticulture
exhibition in Basle. The
successor to this track ride is
being toured to this day.

Even though the first roller coaster was very well
accepted by the public on the Chilbi fairgrounds,
Konrad Spengler sold the attraction to
Germany in the early 1990s as the construction was
too large for most of the Swiss fairgrounds. Since
1992, the Spengler
family has been touring
with the “Alpen Blitz”,
which was built in Italy.
This attraction was built by the Zamperla firm
in 1991 for the Swiss showman Fritz Müller,
who sold it on to Konrad Spengler after only
one season. The “Alpen Blitz” from Zamperla
is a compact construction of a size almost
ideal for Swiss fairgrounds. The complete coaster
requires only two transport vehicles, with the
centre trailer being incorporated into the coaster as
the station. It takes about one-and-a-half days to
build up and half a day to dismantle the coaster.

The train in detail
The train, operated by two friction drive wheels and
headed up by a small steam engine, accommodates
a maximum of 20 passengers per ride. The
train is strikingly painted in the national colour of
red.
73

Spengler’s “Alpen Blitz”
appears at 15 to 20 events in
Switzerland every year
The backflash, which was not included at the time
of purchase, was painted with Swiss alpine motifs
by Rudi Höhner. The pleasant ride goes through two
tunnels and past additional decoration elements
purchased and integrated into the coaster by
Konrad Spengler. The Spengler family presents the
“Alpen Blitz” at 15 to 20 events per year. Apart from
minor events, the tour schedule also includes the
Knabenschießen in Zurich and the events in
Geneva and Lucerne. Countless passengers were
able to enjoy the ride fun offered by the coaster
during the last 22 years. To this day, the speedy ride
running through two steep curves attracts the
family public and adolescents, and enjoys loyally
returning guests on many fairgrounds. The “Alpen
Blitz” has a front length of 28 metres, a 17 metre
depth, a maximum track height of 5 metres, and
electrical requirements of 30 kW.

Show persons from eight member associations
of the European Showman Union met up on the
23rd September in Amsterdam for a regular
meeting.
During the extended Presidium meeting current
themes were discussed such as toll charges,
taxation rights, transport and traffic questions,
the safety Norm 13814 for ride constructions,
schooling as well as the recognition of
the European Volksfests as a World Cultural
Heritage.
During the ESU meeting Scottish colleagues
informed about the continuing problems caused
by double fee demands when applying for Volksfest
licences in their country. The ESU considers
the fee demand to be simply a "rip-off", which is
contrary to the EU-guideline 2006/123/EG. The
presidium confirmed the support of the ESU of
Scottish showmen.

Association representatives from the Netherlands,
Belgium, Great Britain (together with the Scottish
section), Sweden, France, Finland, Austria and
Germany travelled to Amsterdam to discuss with
colleagues the progress of the current season, and
strategic political points for the future.
In the matter of "professional driver qualification"
the presidium emphasised the demands of the
European Showman Union for a European wide
exemption rule, as already is the case in the
Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium and Germany.
A qualification for showmen in Europe is not necessary
as showmen are not professional drivers.
They transport their own inventory to reach the
Volksfest grounds to earn their salary. According
to the ESU there is a clear definition between
commercial freight transport and the showman
profession. The ESU announced a relevant written
confirmation will be available to the national
member associations.

COASTER
The world’s longest
Inverted Coaster was built
by B&M and stands since
2014 in the beautiful Kings
Island in the US state of
Ohio
According to legend, a banshee
is the supernatural appearance
of an old woman emitting earsplitting
wails who always appears
near a river when the
death of a family member is imminent.
And so this was the way
that Kings Island could cope
with the death of a quite young
family member "Son of Beast",
the location of which this new
record coaster has taken over.

Banshee
Mystical legends here or there, in the case of
the new Inverted Coaster from the Swiss
company Bolliger & Mabillard in the beautifully
landscaped Kings Island near Cincinnati, it
appears that "Banshee" was only able to fulfil its
assignment a little later than planned. As its supports
were rammed into the ground on the slope in
the immediate vicinity of the Arrow Suspended
Coaster "The Bat", there was no death to report as
only the station was left from the "Son of Beast".
Earlier this attraction was the highest wooden
coaster in the world, at times operating with
looping. The station appeared to be used as a
haunted house for Halloween at that time. "Son of
Beast" (RCCA, Stengel) was demolished in 2012,
after only just 12 years and many modifications
(the looping was already removed during the
winter break 2006/2007), when it became obvious
that a trouble free resumption of operation was no
longer realistic (the attraction was at a still stand
since 2009).
80

By the way, this was not the first coaster at the park
that had to go out of operation after only a short
life cycle. The previously mentioned attraction
"The Bat" had a predecessor of the same name
from 1981 to 1983, interestingly the same ride type
and from the same manufacturer. However in
those days the applied construction methods
were simply not developed enough for a
Suspended Coaster, so it was first in 1993 that this
still existing construction – originally known as
"Top Gun" – actually opened. Following a name
change to "Flight Deck" due to the separation from
Paramount in 2008, it was renamed "The Bat" in
2013, conforming to its history and fitting to the
expected new acquisition in the neighbourhood,
and continues to offer a lot of ride fun,
fitting perfectly into the terrain.
The last mentioned has also been of good use
to "Banshee", with the station sensibly being
placed considerably nearer to already existing
paths at the theme park and the bordering
theme area (e.g. equipped with a “Giant
Frisbee” from Huss), which happily doesn't
make the way to the entrance into an endless
mountain climb. This also has the advantage
that the lift and the first drop can be very well
seen by all park visitors. The waiting line leads
initially over a cemetery, which gives the required
atmosphere in the evening hours.
Those who look closely can discover a grave
stone here, reminding one of the previous
resident of this park area, the "Son of Beast".
After passing the beautifully laid out cemetery,
visitors continue on unceremoniously to the
scanty waiting area, before being able to climb
the steps to the station. After arriving at the
station it doesn't take long before passengers can
take their place in one of the three trains, each
equipped with eight rows of four. It's here at the
very latest that the first innovations are revealed,
which are unknown in this form until now on an
Inverted Coaster from B&M. Firstly there is no lifting
floor under the course, which on the one hand
speeds up the loading process significantly, but
on the other hand the smaller passengers – the
construction allows participation of passengers
from 1.32 metres – find it more difficult to have
comfortable access to the large and comfortable
seats.

A morbid theme, and
allusions everywhere of past
attractions
New Restraints for Maximum Freedom
The second innovation for an Inverter is the
restraint system. In this case it's the already known
combination of flexible vests and protruding
restraints with lap padding on Wing Coasters from
the same manufacturer. Even the smallest head
bang is ruled out as a result, which increases ride
anticipation. The only point of criticism about this
system is that the vests are so stiff that they begin
to press uncomfortably. Naturally the task of the
system is to keep the upper torso in position, but
a minimal reduction of the pressure would
contribute to general ride
comfort.
Following successful start
clearance, the train reaches
the lift after a slow left curve,
bringing passengers to the
maximum height of 50.9 m.
Once reaching this point the
"Banshee" gives a bloodcurdling
scream that can be heard from far away,
before it travels into the long first drop downwards
with expected vehemence. This is followed by a
dive loop and a vertical looping that has already
been travelled through on the lift – a lovely and
infrequent motive. Passing the waiting area guests
reach the Zero-g-Roll before going into the back
section on the slope. Relentlessly and with full
power "Banshee" rips the passengers in the
“Pretzel Knot” into the depths, and robs all of any
orientation. The special characteristic here is that
this section is no longer on the same level as the
station. With that, a number of elements as well as
82

the deepest part of the Pretzel Knot are under the
station level, which leads to a total height difference
of around 63.4 metres. Hardly has this
powerful element found its horizon again, another
vertical looping follows, before travelling upwards
in a long right curve again.
Extremely Long Coaster with No Brakes
The well disposed B&M riders can at this point
expect the block brakes on the attraction that
believe it or not has a track length of 1,257 metres
– a world record for an Inverted Coaster – and a
three-train operation. Luckily this expectation
doesn't come about; instead riders travel at a
comfortable pace into an In-Line-Roll, which is a
novelty for the Swiss firm.
And at this very time the correct choice of restraint
system is proven, as the classic shoulder restraint
used until now would not give enough hold, due
to its not quite ideal adaption to varied torso sizes.
As finale, passengers travel through a powerful
helix upwards, and are then transported upwards
to the station level, before the ride is given a good
dose of the final brakes, and the ride comes to an
end.
The entrance leads to the
"Haunted Hill" – and not only
during the Halloween season
83

COASTER
In contrast to the
predecessor "Son of Beast"
the track course of
"Banshee" can be seen very
well by all park visitors
"Banshee" is packed with an enormous number of
experiences from beginning to end, and is mostly
comparable to the countless number of compact
constructions from B&M, for example "Batman",
"Nemesis" or "Black Mamba". With "Banshee"
B&M has managed to impart the very same
feelings on a large attraction. It's very rare here
that passengers have time to even take a breath
and orientate themselves, although
most of the elements
have been experienced in similar
succession and form. Only
the In-Line-Roll of this type is new
and unusual for the ride characteristics
of an Inverter. Positive is
the waiver of an often disturbing
block brake, and simultaneously
moves the well-established team
to high performance, as this type
of capacity monster has to be
sent on its way efficiently.
In finale one can only say that Kings Island Theme
Park has presented a great hit to the public. On
the one hand a gap in what the attractive park
offers has finally been closed, and on the other,
the park presents its guests here with a beautifully
smooth but very intensive attraction, which has
been very well received by the targeted visitors
groups.
■
FUN FACTS
The new B&M inverted coaster "Banshee" can
give thanks to its name not only due to myths
and legends, but also to the fact that the Cedar
Fair Group to which Kings Island belongs, had
already registered the "Banshee" name as a
trade mark for coasters in 1995. All the same it
was the attraction known these days as "Mantis"
that originally was to carry this name. Due to
negative press reports regarding the name, the
project was renamed "Mantis" even before the
opening. The original logo design was then
reused later for the "Steel Force" at Dorney Park.
The name "Banshee" however remained unused
until the announcement from Kings Island
last year.

WATERPARK
The unusually colourful
design of "Humungaslide" is
without a doubt one of the
optic highlights of the park
and simultaneously lively
and speedy fun
The first themed water park in
Thailand opened on the 3 rd
October 2014 – the Cartoon Network
Amazone Waterpark in
Bang Saray. Additionally this
project is the first water park
worldwide with a theming
according to the popular Cartoon
Network characters.
CN Amazone Waterpark

CN Amazone
Another slide highlight is
"The Omnitrix", a huge
"Sphere"-slide that is designed
after the Ben 10 Planets and
has a starting point of a 23
metres height
Located only 20 minutes by car from the tourist
stronghold Pasttaya, the new water park mainly
targets the 20 million foreign tourists that visit Thailand
every year. The capacity of the 6.5 hectare
sized park is one million annual visitors, and is
operated by the Thai company Amazon Falls Co.
Ltd, which had also developed the park in cooperation
with the Cartoon-Network-licensor Turner
Broadcasting.
Themed water parks are not a world novelty. Countless
parks around the globe have the tropics, the
Amazon or the Caribbean as theme.
More unusual themes can be found for example at
Disney’s Blizzard Beach. However that what is
normal in "dry" theme parks such as attractions or
whole theme areas with "intellectual property" (IP),
in other words licensed characters or brands
(mostly from the area of film and television), have
86

not spread very far into the water park sector. One
of the very few exceptions are the Lego water parks
in Northern America and Malaysia. Particularly with
the opening of the "Legend of Chima" themed
areas in both US-parks in California and Florida,
operator Merlin Entertainments Group has now also
set the water park on IP.
Interestingly, Lego's toy series "Legend of Chima"
also has its own television series on the children's
channel Cartoon Network, which is very popular in
South East Asia. However with a completely
themed water park with the characters from Cartoon
Network, the makers of this water park step
into totally new waters.
The park was already in test operation at the end of
July, before being officially opened at the beginning
of October. It is divided into ten zones, six of which
however are retail shops, a food court, an event
stage, a spa, and other similar things. The real
theme areas in that sense are four in total until now:
the "Omniverse Zone", the "Adventure Zone", the
"Megawave Zone" and the "Cartoonival".
"Omniverse" is themed according to the cartoon
series "Ben 10", and is the thrill-zone at the park.
The signature ride is without any doubt the
"Humungaslide". As all other slides at the park, this
23 metres high Racing-Slide has been supplied by
Turkish manufacturer Polin.
The water playground
offers 150 different features
87

In addition to all the thrill
slides there is also a resting
zone and a large Lazy River
Artificial wave surfing is
also offered in the new water
park, which is located directly
in the Bang Saray Bay
"Humungaslide" is structurally identical with constructions
at other parks that are operated there
with the name of "King Cobra" – a ride concept that
in 2012, 2013, and also in 2014 was bestowed the
European Star Award. Here in the "Omniverse Zone"
the slide of the same construction type, themed
after the "Ben 10" villain dinosaur, is once again a
convincingly different theme.
On the "Intergalactic Racers" four persons are able
to slide in competition. In the "Goop Loop" with trapdoor
start, thrill seekers experience 2.5 g when they
slide into a looping after a 12 metres high freefall.
The "Omnitrix" pipe slide flows into a funnel with
sound and projection. "Alien Attack!" is a traditional,
100 metres long pipe slide, and "XLR8tor" is a 17
metres high speed slide.
The second slide theme area is the "Adventure
Zone" where guests Finn and his friends from the
cartoon series of the same name meet up. Eyecatcher
here is the "Jake Jump" slide, where guests
can slide along Jake's body in a double boat. Overall
the slides are more family friendly here as in the
neighbouring "Omniverse" area. In addition to "Jake
Jump", the funnel slide "Banana Spin" invites guests
to take part in a slide party. The third attraction
"Rainfall Rainicorn" is also a family friendly tube
slide. Not far from the "Adventure Zone" is the entrance
to the 335 metres long Lazy River "Riptide
Rapids" that travels completely around the "Omniverse"
and "Adventure Zone" areas.
In addition to the "Megawave Zone" that comprises
of a wave pool and the Flowrider-double
88

construction "Surfarena", the water play area
"Catoonival" rounds off the offers at the park."Meet
& Greet" with cartoon heroes from Cartoon Network
is a permanent part of the experiences, and in this
form is a real novelty for a water park.
One thing that all the theme areas have in common
is the unbelievable colours and theming of the
water slides, which are without comparison worldwide.
Manufacturer Polin has been well known for
this feature for a long time, for example with its
already mentioned, the mulitple award winning
"King Cobra". However all other slides can be
described as spectacular, alone due to their
colours, with which together with the well known
characters, the water park will without a doubt
receive a lot of attention.
Considering the matter internationally, the Thai
water park branch has up until now played a minor
role. For a long time South Korea has been the
country with the most water park visitors in Asia;
according to AECOM it's there that 5 of the 15 most
visited Asian water parks can be found. It was first
with the opening of the currently most strongly
visited water park worldwide in Guangzhou from
the Chimelong-group that China has also appeared
on the water park map.
Due to the climate and the relatively low investment
costs, water parks are ideal for project developers
in South East Asia, and it's to be expected that there
will be further water parks opening in the near
future. Another large water park, the Ramayana
Waterpark currently under construction, is also
located in Pattaya. The
opening is planned for
2015. With construction
costs of one billion Baht
(around 24 million Euro),
the investment is similarly
as high as the CN Amazone
Waterpark. Whilst all
slides for Amazone have
been delivered by the
Turkish manufacturer
Polin, the Ramayana Water
Park will be equipped by
Canadian manufacturer
WhiteWater West.
Pattaya is located just two
hours from Bangkok, and
insofar long established
water park operators in the
capital city of Thailand
have to be prepared for
new competition. ■

EXHIBITION
This time the EAS
flags were not dominant in
the entrance area as other
exhibitions were also taking
place at the same time
The Euro Attractions Show 2014
took place in Amsterdam from
the 23 rd to 25 th September at the
RAI exhibition centre, and once
again broke all records. During
its eleven year history, there
were a record number of exhibitors,
exhibition area, and visitors.

On the evening of the first
exhibition day, exhibitors and
visitors met up at the Opening
Reception at the Strand Zuid
Around 10,750 visitors attended the event this
year, and in comparison to the EAS 2013 in
Paris, that is an increase of 26%. Visitors attended
from more than one hundred different countries,
and 441 companies from 36 countries presented
their latest products. Parallel to the exhibition,
more than 1,800 guests took part in the seminars
and lectures with different themes such as mobile
management, social media, brand-name products,
employee development strategies, innovative
technology, and much more.
The exhibition commenced as always with the
Opening Ceremony. This time those responsible
had thought out a very successful introduction
with a film showing Vice-President Karen Staley
reading the morning paper that announced that
the EAS was starting that day. She immediately
made her way by bicycle, horse, and vintage car,
and arrived on time. After the end of the film she
arrived at the exhibition hall in person, in the same
vintage car and in the same Dutch traditional
costume that could be seen in the film.

Ceremony opened the EAS
exhibition with the successful
film appearance of Karen Staley
(above together with Liseberg
boss Andreas Andersen)
The Kirmes & Park Revue
and the special edition were
available at the KPR stand as
well as on other locations
The evening Opening Reception took place after
the first exhibition day on the Strand Zuid, which was
conveniently located between the two exhibition
halls. Many exhibition visitors and exhibitors were
able to enjoy a reunion in a cosy atmosphere.
For a number of exhibition visitors the day was not
over however, as after the ending of the Opening
Reception the Kirmes & Park Revue event took
place. The winners of this year's European Star
Awards voted by an international trade jury were
honoured and celebrated on the premises of the
trendy Heineken Experience World.
Alphabetical Review / IAAPA Review
In this year's EAS exhibition report we are
presenting a summary of imminent new projects.
In part some have already been mentioned in our
last exhibition reports or past KPR editions. As
long as they are current, they may well be listed
once again. Additionally we must also mention
that the IAAPA exhibition report (planned for the
Kirmes & Park Revue, January issue 2015) will
review and elaborate on all new and important
projects.

Always a little
annoying when the EASexhibition
has to be divided
into two halls – but this was
surprisingly positive at
Amsterdam: both exhibition
halls were completely booked
out and very well visited
EAS 2015
The next Euro Attractions
Show 2015 will be guest
of the Swedish city of
Gothenborg from the 6 th to
the 8 th October. And an especially
atmospheric EAS
exhibition is to be expected,
as the exhibition area is located
directly next to the famous
Liseberg-Park, where many
of the special and evening
events such as the Opening
Reception will take place, as
well as the European Star
Awards.
■
abc rides
Madame Tussauds in Singapore will receive an Indoor
Boat Ride and the Hello Kitty Park in Shanghai
a "River Splash" and a "Maibaum". The company
will also install an 18 metres high and 250
metres long "Indoor Compact Water Coaster" with
vertical lift in a shopping centre in China.
Funtime
The Austrian manufacturer will be – how could it
be any different – flying high again next year. A
rotating gondola is used on the model "Skyfall",
and the first example from this new series went to
the Dutch showman Ordelmann, and went into operation
at the same time as the exhibition. An
around 80 metres high "SkyScreamer" will be
erected at Six Flags Mexico, and in Orlando on the
I-Drive in the immediate vicinity of the planned
Ferris wheel "Orlando Eye", a 140 metres high "Star
Flyer". The future record breaker will have a spectacular
peak that will be able to be seen from far
away. Funtime is also planning a completely new
type of attraction for the Prater, which will be a real
adrenalin machine.

EXHIBITION
The design of the
Gerstlauer "Sky Fly"
created for Familypark
Neusiedlersee shows a lot
of promise
Gerstlauer
Intamin
Intamin: the 40 metres high
Water Coaster for the Hello
Kitty Park in Anji, and the 27
metres Looping Coaster for an
unnamed park
A new model of the "Sky Roller" has been developed
by the Schwabian manufacturer in which
case only the gondola cross is elevated. For the
safety of the riding guests, an automatic restraint
locking system will be in use. The older model had
a construction height of 22 m; the new attraction
will be offered with a 35 m height. Customers may
choose either 16 or 24 individual seats. The attractive
"Sky Fly" that is similar in its mode of operation
but due to its slanting flight radius will also
be delivered a number of times in 2015 – to a
Taiwan park, to Dreamworld Australia, and the
Familypark Neusiedlersee. The last mentioned
has also ordered the smallest coaster in the world
("Kiddie Racer"). Further along, a 12 m high and
181 m long "Shuttle Family Coaster" will be delivered
to Adventure City in Anaheim (California),
a 22 m high and 361 m long "Euro Fighter" to the
SindiPark Casablanca, Morocco, and a "Lunched
Infinity Coaster" to Powerpark, Finland.
Basically, the Swiss company offered three new
ride systems in the areas of coaster, flume ride and
freefall, the prototypes of which all went into operation
this year. In the case of coaster it was the new
"Gringotts-Coaster", however Intamin according to
Universal may not reveal any technical details. In
the Log Flume section Intamin presented the
"Chiapas" ride opened at Phantasialand, which is
very convincing being fully packed with new
technical innovations. The company name of this
ride is "Flume Ride 6 with Backdrop", whereby the
number six represents the seating capacity of one
boat. A further development of Intamin's "Gyro
Drop" is the "Sky Jump", which will open at Busch
Gardens Tampa. The new feature here is that the
gondola is tipped forward during the fall to 95°.
Future construction deliveries will be a "10 Inversion
Coaster", (height 33 m, length 875 m) for Hopi
Hari in Brazil, an "LSM Launch Coaster" in Europe,
a water ride in Great Britain, and a 120 m high

Adventureland in the USA
will receive a Spinning Coaster
from Mack Rides
Ferris Wheel in the USA. And after the Turkish
Vialand in Istanbul has already been supplied with
an abundant ride supply, there's another large
contract from a new Turkish theme park project developer:
Ankapark in Ankara ordered a "10
Inversion Coaster" a "Jet Ski Coaster" and an "LSM
Launch Coaster", a 435 m long Rapid Ride, a 50
m high and 422 m long "Hyper Splash" and a 45
m high "Flying Island". Additionally, as already
proved by other manufacturers as well, China is
once again a large sales market: a "Looping
Coaster" will go to Romon World (27 m high, 560
m long), Hello Kitty in Anji will receive a 35 m high
"Coaster Wheel", and an unnamed park has ordered
a Mega-Coaster (77 m high, 1,505 m long), a
Water Coaster (40 m high 475 m long), a "Gyro
Drop" (80 m high) a "Flying Island" and a "Reverse
Freefall Coaster".
Jora Vision
Kolmarden Zoo in Sweden (Parks & Resorts
Scandinavia) has a new area called "Bamse’s
World", with the main character being the figure
Bumser Bear, which is a famous cartoon figure in
Sweden. The area has a size of 20,000 m 2 and will
receive themed rides and playgrounds.
KumbaK
New seats have been developed which can be
used on a Vekoma SLC. The seats are very noticeable
due to a soft and comfortable restraint system,
whereby the principle is similar to seatbelts
in cars, and with that hardly cause any hindrance
during the ride.
Mack Rides
The new "Inverted Powered Coaster" at Europa-
Park caused a lot of interest. Almost all large park
chains showed interest in this attraction Nevertheless
there's (still) silence regarding potential
customers for such a ride a la "Arthur". But on the
other hand information was supplied about the
following customers: Hainan R&F Ocean Paradise
(“Boat Battle” and “Twist ‘n’ Splash”), Adventureland,
USA (Spinning Coaster; 382 m long, 17 m
high), Xian (Mega Coaster; 1,290 m long, 61m
high, 115 km/h speed, 1 Looping, 1 Zero-G-Roll,
2 trains each with 24 seats), Forellenhof Plohn
(Powered Coaster; 266 m long), DivoOstrov
(Launch Coaster; 1,056 m long, 38 m high, 100
km/h speed) and Wanda Nanchang ("Twist ’n‘
Splash").

An "X-Train" front car
with a new type of restraint
system from Maurer Rides
Maurer Rides
Modelachterbahn.de
Maurer has further developed its X-Car to an X-
Train, which apparently will be a lot smoother when
operating due to the axle steering device and the
spring loaded side wheels. The new train is also
built according to the Euro Code 3 Norm. The
seats are now multimedia capable and have a
touch screen. The park for example can present
its own advertising on this screen during the time
spent in the station or videos during the ride. New
LED-lighting can also be installed according to
customer requirements. The first delivery of an "X-
Train" will be delivered to Ningbo in China, and
Hershey Park will be supplied with a "Spinning
Coaster 2000", which as an indoor version will be
themed with UV and black light features.
Many German school children and students exhibit
a coaster model that they have worked on and perfected
for years, and continue to do so. However
there are already signs of a whole lot of innovations
and inventive genius for which they have been distinguished
in the German competition "Jugend
Forscht" (Youth Research): for example the ride
course having track switches inbuilt so that the
passengers can control the coaster cars individually.
This is the second coaster model from
the young researchers – their first was also a moving
working model that has been on display at
Hansa-Park since 2011. Possible participation
sponsors at the EAS were such companies as
Bolliger & Mabillard, Vekoma Rides, and others.

Plopsa Group
For the first time the Plopsa Group also took part
as exhibitor and not only to present a model of its
new "Plopsaqua" indoor water park that will go into
operation in April 2015 at Plopsaland de Panne,
but also to be present as licensor. With the internally
well known characters like Maya the Bee,
Wickie the Viking, Tabaluga, Heidi and others, the
group aims at giving other theme parks the
opportunity to realize attractive kiddie and family
areas.
Reverchon
Reverchon presented three new rides at the exhibition:
a "Compact Mini Flume", a new Rafting
construction, and a "Swinging Coaster". In the
case of this coaster concept the riding guests sit
back to back. The cars can also rotate at 180°, and
the seats are so mounted that they can swing out
freely in each curve on a carrier.
rollercoasterrestaurant
This new restaurant chain from Heine-Mack, with
restaurants already operating at Europa Park,
Nürnberg, and Hamburg, plans to expand, hence
the representation at the EAS exhibition. Food and
drinks are transported to the relevant tables on
tracks similar to a coaster. Currently there are
plans for further branches – one in November
2014 in Abu Dhabi with 380 seats and another for
Sochi in 2015.
Reverchon's new coaster
idea that already has a prototype
is a type of Suspended Coaster

the complete Sunkid/Heege
team of 25 years
Vekoma Rides: a 360°
cinema for Roermond, and the
"Giant Boomerang" that opened
a few weeks ago in Sochi
Sunkid
Sunkid presented a coaster train at the exhibition
designed for Vekoma's Boomerang, with the first
delivery already going to the Vienna Prater. The
train only has a lap restraint instead of shoulder restraints,
and can also be equipped with an audio
system. Although the train was designed for only
Boomerang type of rides initially, it can be fitted to
all other types as well. Further along, exhibition
visitors could also take a closer look at a singlerider
car from the "Biga-Coaster". The track course
of this model can be installed on the smallest of
spaces; the first installation being on the transportable
showman attraction, "The Tower Event
Centre".
Technical Park
A very special gimmick could be admired at the
Technical Park EAS stand: a new ride concept
presented as a Lego-model. The exhibit was
invented and built by the young German, Thomas
Hölderle. The ride characteristics probably could
best be described as a new type of combination
of the "Transformer" called ride (from Mosers
Rides) and the so-called "Move It" (from KMG) to
create a new ride sensation.
Vekoma
The Dutch manufacturer is also running in top
form, and it's particularly the erection of indoor attractions
in shopping malls in the upcoming
months that are on the programme. For example
a custom-designed "Motorbike Launch Coaster"
and an unusual "Dive Pretzel Loop Coaster" which
will open in the Berjaya Mall in Peking, and two
shopping malls in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev will
also be happy about an upgrade with attractions
from Vekoma: Respublica Mall will receive a custom-designed
Junior Coaster, and the Lavina Mall
a 395 m long Family-SLC. The Outlet-Centre in
Roermond in the Netherlands near the German
border will receive an "I-Ride Panoramic Flight
Simulator", a "V-Ride Adventure Theatre Simulator"
and a "D-Ride Ranger Interactive Dark Ride"
shortly before the opening.

EXHIBITION
A remarkable
project from Zamperla that
concentrates on the
increased integration of
disabled persons, offering
many solutions
Videoimage
Zamperla
Videoimage in cooperation
with Aquarena, has
developed an Onride
photo point for water
slides. The first installation
was built into the Therme
Soltau, with the requirement
that there were no
injuries to riding guests by
protruding parts. The lens
of the equipment had to be
treated so that there is no fogging up.
When a bathing guest uses a slide, photo
information is stored on the guest ID-Band.
Following the ride the guest can see the photo for
30 seconds, and then can choose between
having it printed out in the evening at a self-service
terminal, or having it forwarded per email by way
of a QR-code.
An interesting project from Zamperla named
"E-Motion-Park" addresses people who despite
physical or intellectual disabilities wish to visit a
theme park. This programme contains not only
special ramps but also light and sound signals for
the hearing impaired or partially sighted visitor. For
example Braille could be mounted at the entrance
area, and a park plan could also be offered in
Braille – and there could also be small "touch"
models of ride constructions available.
In this way the park experience could be almost
the same as for those who are not disabled. The
programme has been designed according to all
relevant safety and health standards. The
necessary information can be called up by the
disabled visitor at special Info-Points. Naturally
technical adaptation is necessary for cars and
gondolas, in order to attain a simple passenger
loading procedure.

“The European Star Award is becoming an annual fixed part of the
EAS program for a lot of key stakeholders within the major European
Theme Parks and ride suppliers. A casual event where the industry
can socialize and celebrate the great attractions that make our
business so exciting.”
Jacob Helenius, Head of Development at Tivoli
“We are tremendously proud of the fact that ‘Vertigo’ has been
named ‘Europe’s Best Attraction’, and we are incredibly pleased. It’s
the craziest ride we have and a ride that gives the biggest rush.
You’re subjected to a g force of 5.2 when you’re spun around at 100
kilometres an hour. And it’s unique.”
Andreas Andersen, CEO and President Liseberg Group
“Liseberg is a proud recipient of two European Star Awards, and
these awards really mean something – to our guests, to our employees
and to me. I keep them in a very prominent place in my
office.”
Erich Wagner, Owner Fantasiana Erlebniswelt Straßwalchen
"We view this award as encouragement for even more great
investments with the corresponding background, so that the smaller
parks in comparison to the big ones still remain in the visual field, in
order to make our visitors happy. We are currently planning a new
attraction, and I think that this attraction will also be worthy of an
award."

Steve Van den Kerkhof, CEO Plopsa Group
"This is a reward for our work.’Sky Scream’ is a unique coaster
throughout Europe. We are very happy about this recognition. It is
also an honour because two parks from the group were awarded a
prize."
Jim Seay, President Premier Rides
“We are extremely proud that ‘Sky Scream’ was selected for a
European Star Award in the category of ‘Best New Rides 2014’. It
was an honour to work with the Plopsa Group, one of the fastestgrowing
and most successful entertainment companies in Europe.
The Holiday Park staff was passionate about creating a first-class
highly-themed thrill ride unlike any other in Europe. The results speak
for themselves.”
Werner Nowotny, Maintenance Manager Merlin Oberhausen
"Merlin Entertainments is proud about so many awards. ‘Kirmes &
Park Revue’ is a valuable magazine for the industry in view of
inspiration and information. But it also fits our Merlin value: ‘…make
it fun.”
Jean Pierre Joyaux, Project Manager Parc du Futuroscope
“This recognition underlines the creative and collaborative work between
the Futuroscope Teams, the Ubisoft Company, and artistic
partner Circus Agency, which specializes in animation and digital

wonderful incentive to continue our work with the same love of detail
as before."
Michael Mack, Member of the Executive Board Europa-Park
"I'm really thrilled about this award for ‘Arthur’ as one of the top
novelties in Europe. It is the pay-off for many years of hard work, and
a reward for my family, the complete team, and naturally also Mack
Rides, who have all played a significant part in this really unique
attraction. The award for ‘Arthur’ will definitely have a place of honour
in the attraction. To be considered as the best theme park in Europe
by such a trade jury that is comprised of real branch experts, is for
us a huge honour, and at the same time also an incentive for the next
years and decades."

have received, which are recognition of the passion we at Parques
Reunidos put into innovating and optimizing our assets to create

only for our Turkish guests but also for our guests in the surrounding
area which extends from Middle East to Russia and Balkans.”
Søren Kragelund, President Fårup Sommerland
”We are very pleased to have received the prize, especially because
this is the second prize that ‘Orkanen’ received within a year. Last
year, when ‘Orkanen’ was built and launched it was immediately
recognized as the second best new coaster in Europe. We believe
that we have managed to build a roller coaster that is both wild and
fun – and at the same time children from 1.05 meter are allowed to
try it. ‘Orkanen’ emphasizes Fårup's values, which is all about fun
and good times for the whole family. Furthermore, the combination
of technology and design is also a success.”
Christoph Andreas Leicht, Owner Hansa-Park
"Both of this year's awards are an occasion for
elation, and will serve as an incentive for the
future to continue the same way: that our name
continues to symbolize, and to continue to delight
our visitors. The award ‘Best Family Park Europe
Place 3’ fills us with a lot of pride in particular,
because not only all our personnel are equally
honoured, but we are also in the league of awardwinning
leading performers in Europe."
