STURZFLUG 

The “Sturzflug” from 

Lothar Winter at the Kunigundenfest 

in Lauf / Pegnitz

Schokofrüchte”: Vernon Moser, 

Gregor, Patricia Moser, boss 

Christian von Berg, Laura Ashley 

Kutcher, and Janek 

Text & Photos: Ralf Schmitt 

Since the beginning of this season, the 

“Sturzflug” ride is being toured by its new owner, 

Lothar Winter from Dillingen/Donau. 

The ride, built by the Dutch Bakker firm, has been a 

classic of many years on the German fairground 

scene, and being the only travelling example of its 

kind, it has also been an exotic ride at the same time. 

Known first as "Ramba Zamba” under the management 

of the Krameyer firm and later on the Schapals 

firm, it was presented completely renovated and under 

the new name of "Popcorn” by Andreas Zinnecker 

at the beginning of the new millennium. During the 

last few years, it was toured by Kurt Geier from Mun- 

SEEN.. 

ich under the name of "Geiers Sturzflug”, before it was 

sold to Lothar Winter late last year. Under his management, 

the ride is now also presented at venues 

where it has never appeared before, or where it is returning 

to after a long break. The ride (with backflash) 

is 19.5 metres in diameter. Built up without backflash 

and placed in the centre of the fairground (as in the 

photo of its appearance in Lauf / Pegnitz), it requires 

a ground area of only 17 metres. In the second half 

of the season, Winter’s "Sturzflug” will be presented 

at, among other venues, Cham, Weißenburg and Mindelstetten 

in the south of Germany, with the appearance 

at the large Volksfest event in Germany, the 

Wiesenmarkt in Eisleben, certainly being the highlight 

of the season.

...at the Maientage in Göppingen: 

On the day of the qualifying match of the German 

national team against Denmark during the European 

Cup soccer championship (17 th June), the staff at the 

"Candy Schokofrüchte” attraction from Christian von 

Berg from Stuttgart, all of them passionate football 

fans, devoted their beloved attraction to this match. 

This provided high spirits, especially after the German 

team had won the match 2:1.

ROUTE 66 

Since the Corpus Christi Day 

Fair in Oberhausen-Sterkrade, 

passengers can also experience 

a ride without looping 

gondolas in the form of Michael 

Goetzke's major ride “Rocket”. 

One of the five rocket-gondolas 

has the somersaulting function 

switched off, while the other rockets 

diligently perform their loopings. 

As a result, those visitors 

usually not riding the "Rocket” 

due to the inversion feature can 

now join in the fun. The inversionfree 

gondola is pointed out by a 

prominent banner, as well as by 

the service staff.

her daughter have brought it back to life and succeeded 

in putting together a good tour for the first year. This season, 

the attraction will appear, among other venues, in 

Düren, Dachau, Bad Dürkheim, Oldenburg, and Bremen. 

Further autumn venues are currently being scheduled. 

About 400 mice, all of them female, are presented in the 

travelling attraction from the show and Funhouse sector. 

Johanna Brambach is the daughter of Heinz Brambach, 

who has been touring the "Kampfarena” boxing booth 

throughout Germany for decades. Having operated a 

games and concession stall for many years, she has now 

taken over the travelling animal presentation, by her own 

account fulfilling all the regulations and requirements of 

the animal protection act. Due to a lift in the entrance section, 

wheelchair users can visit the attraction without encountering 

any difficulties.

KALEIDOSCOPE 

MAGIC HOUSE 

Text: 

Ralf Schmitt 

Photos: Archive Kutschenbauer 

The “Magic House” from 

Andreas Kutschenbauer 

This is how the BILD 

tabloid reported the incident 

A stage play based on mixups, 

strange coincidences 

and unbelievable exaggerations, 

which is intended 

to make the audience laugh, is generally defined 

as a “farce”. Yet a farce like this has recently taken 

place “in real life” at the Kirchweih in 

Neustadt/Aisch. 

What exactly happened? Well, a 46-year-old doctor 

visited the Kirchweih in the Franconian town of 

Neustadt / Aisch with his 3-year-old son. The child 

rode on the kiddie ride built up opposite the "Magic 

House” from Kutschenbauer. As the father reported 

later on, the child had kept watching the figures 

on the façade of the Walkthrough construction 

opposite, but had wanted to go home again after 

just three rides on the kiddie ride. The father 

claimed that back home in bed, the child had asked 

whether or not the people in the Ghost Ride were 

OK. The father’s reaction to this question from his 

son is quite unbelievable! That very evening, he 

proceeded to the police station to report the "Ghost 

Ride owner”. "The bloodthirsty figures advertising 

the spectacle at the front of the construction are too 

creepy for children’s souls, and a violation of the 

child protection law,” a police officer quoted from 

the criminal charge, as asserted by the 

father. The police officers thought the 

charge of the 46-year old father was a 

joke; indeed, as they presumed that the 

man might be drunk, they had even 

breathalysed him. However, the man 

was stone-cold sober! The head of the 

police station, Siegfried Archut, advised 

him against the charge. "In our 

opinion, there does not appear to be an 

offence,” he told the office of the Director 

of Public Prosecutions the next day. 

"I have had a look at the show booth myself 

– and it is quite a normal fun-show, or 'haunted 

house'; neither particularly frightening nor strikingly 

bloodthirsty.” As the father insisted on his charge, 

the matter was eventually submitted to the Prosecutors 

Office at Nürnberg, and the Department of 

Youth Welfare. When the "Magic House” owner 

Andy Kutschenbauer learned about the charge for 

the first time, he also thought it was a bad joke. The 

story eventually reached the attention of the press 

agencies and resulted in some significant mediahype. 

Local and national newspapers, radio stations 

and even the TV channels reported this "incident”, 

all of them quietly smirking about the complainant. 

When a SAT1 TV team positioned its camera 

in front of the "Magic House”, Kutschenbauer 

asked the editor, "Is there nothing important happening 

in the world?”, the editor put it in a nutshell, 

"Sure, but nothing funnier...” The fact that the Prosecutors 

Office in Nürnberg closed the files after just 

a few days following a brief investigation of the 

facts, concluding that there was no evidence of an 

offence, came as a surprise to no-one. ■

LITTLE ITALY 

KALEIDOSCOPE 

Text & Photos: Norman Vogt 

From this season, delicious pizza 

rolls with different fillings are 

available at “Massimilianos Little 

Italy” from Maximilian Schultze 

from Bochum. 

Schultze purchased the small (4.50 

x 5 m) beautiful sales booths – with 

which he became self-employed – 

from his aunt in Cologne. "Little Italy” 

is three years old and makes quite 

an impression due to a very appealing 

design with motifs of Italy. The 

young showman passed his A-levels 

only a couple of months ago, 

even though he had already made 

up his mind to go on tour previously. 

Maximilian, whose parents previously toured the 

"Magic Vision” show booth and currently operate 

the "Piraten-Trip”, chose his product to be 

"Pizzabrötchen” (pizza rolls) as this special 

snack is not being presented at Volksfest events 

too often as yet. Four different varieties are prepared 

and on offer that guests may choose from: 

salami, margherita, jalapeno or tuna filling, and 

of course they can also watch the specialities 

being prepared. "Massimilianos Little Italy” has 

already been presented at, among others, 

Bochum, Wattenscheid, Oberhausen, Recklinghausen, 

Geldern, and Pforzheim. Further 

venues in 2012 will be Friedrichshafen, Crange, 

Ravensburg, Bietigheim, and Stuttgart. ■

New outfit: Stampfer’s 

“Crazy Wave” 

CRAZY WAVE

Archiv Stampfer 

Since the beginning of this season, the “Crazy 

Wave” Miami from Manfred Stampfer Jnr. from 

Oberndorf, Austria, has been presented in a new 

outfit. 

As the backflash façade of the attraction (which used 

to be toured throughout Germany under the management 

of the Hoster firm) had faded over the years, it 

was time for a redesign. In addition to the new artwork 

– Stampfer decided in favour of a continuous motif – 

the façade framework was galvanized and partly rebuilt. 

The lighting system was completely renewed, 

from the running light machine ( and the name sign with 

colour-alternating LEDs, to the replacement of the 

highly power consuming spotlights with LED lights with 

a colour-changing function. In the end, a very personal 

dream came true for Stampfer Jnr, the purchase and 

installation of an Uhlenbrock sound system. ■

NEW PRODUCTS 

DONKEY KONG 

Verwijk’s “Donkey Kong” 


Climbing parks and climbing gardens have 

been increasingly popular for several years 

now. The mobile construction “Donkey 

Kong” from the Dutch showman firm Verwijk 

is based on this kind of physical exercise and 

entertainment concept. 

During the past few years, the predecessors of 

transportable constructions – the size and height 

of which cannot be compared with stationary 

climbing gardens – have already appeared in 

France and Italy. Verwijk’s "Donkey Kong” is especially 

designed for children and is completely 

dedicated to the "Jungle” theme. Once the 

ticket has been bought, most of the young visitors 

are provided with a kind of corset, which is 

fastened across the chest and the arms and then 

secured. Next, the corset is linked to the upper 

guide rail, which runs along the entire course. 

This done, the visitors can start on the course, 

where they have to overcome the perils of a 

shaking bridge and moving floors, ascents, and 

differing gradients. At the end of the course, visitors 

are released and the safety corset can be 

taken off. The construction can be used by several 

visitors at the same time, thus allowing for 

continuous entry. The construction is largely 

transparent, so that accompanying adults can 

keep a constant eye on the children. ■

THE BEAST 

The draft for Alwin 

Zinnecker’s new ride “The 

Beast” 

Alwin Zinnecker and Fabio 

Martini (Technical Park) signing 

the contract 

Text: Ralf Schmitt 

Photos: Archive Zinnecker 

The first “Streetfighter” looping ride for a German 

showman has been announced. Alwin Zinnecker 

from Neumarkt St. Veit will introduce 

the novelty “The Beast” at 

the beginning of the next season. 

In early June, the purchase contract 

was signed at Technical Park 

in Italy. The ride accommodates a 

total of 16 passengers in 4 gondolas 

and reaches a flight height of 24 

metres. The name chosen for the 

ride that is equipped with a backflash 

and the latest LED lighting 

technology, is "The Beast”. Green, 

purple, and black are the predominant 

colours of the ride. The Zinneckers 

have come up with a 

special feature for their novelty. 

"The Beast” will be the first ride in 

which the passengers can decide 

for themselves whether they want 

to have a ride with swinging movements 

only, or with a looping. To 

this end, an individual station area with two entries is 

built, where passengers have the choice between a 

"120° Swing” or "360° Loop”. 

Due to the purchase, Alwin Zinnecker will part with the 

"Geistervilla” Ghost Ride at the end of the season. ■

Crange Kirmes 

With the duration extended by one day, the 577 th 

Crange Fair (2 nd to 12 th August) will once again 

begin as early as a Thursday evening. This year 

however, the event will be extended only by 

“half” a day, as the fairground will be open from 

6 p.m. to midnight only on the first day of business. 

This is due to the legal action taken against the 

largest fair in North-Rhine Westphalia by a pensioner 

living in the immediate vicinity, who complained 

that the few additional hours were excessive. 

It is really outrageous that the legal action taken 

by a single person because of an additional six 

opening hours was upheld, and indeed, that there 

had to be a court ruling at all. Even more incredible 

however is the broader outcome of the case, in 

which the Herne city authorities reached a settlement 

with the plaintiff, according to which the fair 

event will also begin one day later again next year. 

Albert Ritter, President of the German Showman 

Association, was disappointed with the outcome of 

the case. After all, the well-attended additional six 

opening hours had been quite promising last year 

bringing most of the participating showmen highly 

satisfying results. For this reason, Ritter announced 

that he would talk to the new state government 

about the State Pollution Control Act. 'Noise pollution' 

is an important issue, without a doubt – but it 

must not jeopardize jobs or be at the expense of the 

wishes of hundreds of thousands of good-humoured 

people for a limited period of time. After all, as 

former late Bavarian President-Minister, Franz 

Josef Strauss said: "Noise coming from a fairground 

is no noise, but an expression of love for life!” 

In celebration of the origins of the Crange Fair, a 

large horse market will once again be held at the 

Steinhausen estate on the opening day. At 6 p.m. 

the "Citizen Night” will begin in the Bayernfesthalle, 

and on the fairground on the banks of the Rhein- 

Herne-Kanal. As is now tradition, the fair event will 

be officially opened in the Bayernfesthalle with the 

tapping of the keg by Lord Mayor Horst Schiereck 

and Ralf Jäger, the Interior Minister of North-Rhine 

Westphalia, at 2 p.m. on Friday. This time, it was 

possible to engage the Danish singer Gitte Haenning 

as the guest star. From the vast number of applications, 

fairground director Sabine Marek has 

once again put together a very appealing mixture 

of known, successful, as well as novelty attractions 

for Crange.

With a bit of luck, there will even be a German première, 

as the Ahrend firm would like to present its 

"Flasher” - truly a 'new dimension' in the major ride 

sector. This ride is said to reach the spectacular 

height of 70 metres! The manufacturer Mondial is 

currently working on the attraction at full speed. 

With the mega swing "Konga” (Küchenmeister) and 

Deinert’s "X-Factor” there will be two further debutantes. 

New for Crange will also be Dölle’s "Hot 

Shot” ejector seat and the Musik Express "Love Express” 

from Kreft. And there will also be a comeback; 

after a break of almost two years, the "Fun- 

Schiff” (Huss-Pirate) from Schneider will appear in 

Crange again. The "Voodoo Jumper” (Schäfer), a 

further novelty, will certainly cause a furore, and 

after an even longer break the "Super Movie Star” 

Round Up (Lütteke) will bring a little nostalgia to the 

fairground. Attractions appearing once again will 

be the Flying Carpet "1001 Nacht” (Hartmann), 

Schneider‘s "Power Tower” and the "Star Flyer” von 

Goetzke. 

The track ride sector will be represented by the 

"Alpina-Bahn” (Bruch), the "Wilde Maus” (Eberhard 

& Göbel), as well as the "Höllenblitz” from Renoldi 

this year. Also presented will be the water ride from 

Löwenthal. While Kaiser’s "Skater” and the classic 

"Revolution” from Kinzler/Nickel will provide visitors 

with a speed ride experience, they will be taken up 

in the skies by sheer muscular strength in Prumbaum’s 

"Sky Glider”. Once again, a large number 

of open round rides will be presented, many of them 

enjoying cult status at the fair. Spread across the 

whole fairground visitors will encounter the "Break 

Dance No. 2” (Bonner), the Wellenflieger "Circus 

Welt” (Kaiser), "Devil Rock” (Hanstein), "Circus Circus” 

(Bruch/Gründler), "Happy Sailor” (Howey), 

"Big Monster” (Krameyer), "Shake” (Schäfer), and 

the "Beach Jumper” (Wegener). Bruch’s "Bellevue” 

Ferris Wheel will once again provide visitors with a 

beautiful view. While the dodgem track from the 

Ahrend family will be replaced by the "Millennium 

Drive” from Quante this time, built up on the former’s 

site, the other four dodgem tracks, "Diamond” 

(Hartkopf/Osselmann), "Drive in” (Schmidt), "Number 

1” (Isken), and "Starlight” (Petter) will again occupy 

their traditional sites. 

The Ghost Rides "Geisterschlange” from Lehmann 

and the "Schloss Dracula” from the Schütze family 

will once again provide visitors with creepy fun. 

With the "Show Time” from Haas a new show booth 

is to come to Crange, offering a varied programme 

to all visitor groups, depending on the time of the 

day. A novelty for Crange will be the "Panic Room” 

from Lemoine promising a creepy live action show 

to its visitors. Moreover, guests will be able to enjoy 

the Funhouse attractions "Psychodelic” (Häsler), 

"Action House” (Kipp), "Hollywood” (Renz) and another 

Crange débutante – the "Time Factory” 

(Hartman). This is the overview of the attractions 

approved to this year's Crange Fair at the time of

SPECIAL SECTION 

A novelty at the Crange 

also: “Voodoo Jumper” 

going to press, but of course there can be shortterm 

changes, as negotiations were still being undertaken 

with the operators of a large attraction and 

a kiddie ride. However, the biggest uncertainty factor 

is the novelties, which had not yet been finalised 

at the time of going to press. 

Visitors will once again be able to purchase the 

popular fair passes valid throughout the event, except 

for the Family Day, this year. They will be available 

as "gastronomy passes” and as "ride passes”; 

every pass saving the buyer 5 Euro. Moreover, the 

pass is also a ticket for a lottery. 

The large souvenir stall will be built up directly at 

the Crange Tor, and will once again offer a cornucopia 

of beautiful souvenirs of the largest fair in 

North-Rhine Westphalia. In addition to many other 

articles, the new fair pin will also be available. The 

Fritz pin in an edition of 5,000 pieces will show the 

fair mascot on the heraldic horse, and will cost 2.50 

Euro. For current information: 

www.cranger-kirmes.de. 

This year’s supporting programme will be just as 

varied as the selection of ride and Funhouse attractions. 

One of the highlights at the Crange Fair 

will be the festival procession on Saturday, setting 

out from the St.-Jörgen-Platz at 10:30 a.m. and the 

festival floats coming to their final halt for the first 

time at the Flora Marzine. The groups on foot however, 

will continue to the Crange Tor via the main 

street. This decision was made in agreement with 

the organizer, the showmen, the police, and the fire 

brigade. In the last few years, the number of festival 

floats has steadily increased, so only three 

quarters of the procession finally arrived at the 

Crange Tor last year. Due to the large gaps, most 

visitors thought that the festival procession was already 

over and stepped onto the street. There were, 

however, further large festival wagons, which could 

no longer proceed to the Crange Tor as it was too 

dangerous. Unfortunately, this is the loss of a small 

piece of Crange fair culture. As a result of this decision, 

the show women from the Crange Tor will 

participate with their wagon for the last time this 

year. 

On 5 th August, a church service will be held in the 

Bayernfesthalle on Monday, and the "Engagierten 

Herner”, or "committed Herne citizens” will meet in 

the beer tent. Tuesday will be the designated "Kiddie 

Day”, and that very evening the new "Revierkönig”, 

or "King of the Ruhr Region” will be 

crowned. Wednesday will be characterized by two 

contrasting events: during the day there will be the 

designated Family Day with reduced prices, and in 

the evening, the Bayernfesthalle will be transformed 

into a party location on the occasion of the 

BILD tabloid Festzelthammer event. Thursday will 

be the designated Senior's Day, and on the second 

opening Sunday, the 577 th Crange Fair will end with 

the closing fireworks display.

Gäubodenvolksfest Straubing

Hardly any other event is as characteristic of the town of Straubing 

and the surrounding region as the Gäubodenvolksfest held 

annually in August, this year from 10t h to 20 th . The event has its 

roots in the first agricultural festival in 1812, from which it has 

evolved to the second largest Volksfest event in Bavaria. 

To mark the occasion of this year's 200 th anniversary, the organisers 

have come up with many ideas, such as a historic showman section, 

presenting historic and nostalgic attractions and immortalising the 

Volksfest tradition, and celebrating the broader history of the showman 

industry. Moreover, a large number of attractions will be built up 

in this section including, among others, the "Toboggan” (Fischer), nostalgic 

wooden Ferris Wheel (L. & M. Hörmann), a nostalgic Ghost Ride 

(Eckl), Kristallpalast (Sturm), a fairytale carousel built in 1903 (Schottenloher), 

the magnificent multi-storey carousel from Stey, the 

"Märchenlandexpress” railway (Dräger), the "Straubing Puppet Theatre 

” (Richter), "Hexenschaukel” (Keller), the "Fahrt in Paradies” 

(Schleifer), a "Steile Wand”, or Wall of Death, and the nostalgic concession 

stall "Die dicke Berta” (Zimmermann). They will be joined by a 

historic beer, old-style beer tent (called "Zelt 7”), where visitors will be 

entertained with Gstanzl, or 'stanza' singers, Schuplattler (Austro- 

Bavarian folk dance), and brass band music. Food and drink provided 

will include, among other delights, "Ochs am Spieß”, or spit-roasted 

ox, and the delicious anniversary beer from the Carmelite brewery. 

On the occasion of the Volksfest anniversary, an extensive special exhibition 

will be held in the Gäuboden Museum from 27 th June to 7 th October 

2012, and there will also be a commemorative publication. The 

exhibition will include, among other memorabilia, old photos, tickets, 

stamps, posters, ride models, beer steins and much more. The event 

will be opened by the Bavarian Prime Minister, Horst Seehofer, in an 

official ceremony held in the Reisinger beer tent on Saturday, 11 th August 

at 10 a.m. The fair event and the adjoining Ostbayernschau consumer 

exhibition with 700 exhibitors occupying 55,000 square metres 

will already be open the day before. While the Gäubodenvolksfest 

spreads over 90,000 square metres, another 9,000 square meters will 

be added this year for the historic section. In the anniversary year, the 

large fairground - the heart of the event - will once again accommodate 

a vast number of successful, and also several novelty attractions. 

From the more than 700 applications received this year, 140 showman 

operations were approved to the event. Attractions presented will be 

the "Star Flyer” (Goetzke), "Flip Fly” (Clauß), "Cyber Space” (Kaiser), 

"Wilde Maus” (Münch), "Top Spin” (Bausch), Wildwasserbahn 2 (Heitmann-Schneider), 

Ferris Wheel (Willenborg), "Feuer & Eis” (Courtney), 

"Wellenflug” (Stranninger), "Roll Over” (Zinnecker), "Happy Monster” 

(Zinnecker), "Lach+Freu-Haus” (Distel), "Big Bamboo” (Hempen), 

"Shocker” (Eckl), "Rotor” (Pluschies, and "The Game” (Weber), as well 

as the dodgem tracks from Distel and Menzel. They will be joined by 

the kiddie rides "Crazy Time 2” (Thoma), "Traum-Schleife” (Sgraja), 

"Veteranen-Club” (Grauberger), the kiddie rides from Stranninger and 

Sgraja, and the magnificent swing boat from Martin Kollmann, as well 

as original attractions such as the "Königlich bayrische Hofphotograph” 

(photographer to the Royal Court of Bavaria), the Vogeljakob 

(bird piper), "lightning artist” Toni All, and as many as two "Hi-striker” 

constructions. The selection of attractions will be rounded off by concession 

stalls from the game, lottery and gastronomic sectors. Includ-

AUSBLICK 

Present again: Top Spin 

and Star Flyer 

Traditional costumes are a 

must at the Gäubodenfest 

ing the historic tent, a total of 7 beer tents will be 

available this year. They will be supplied by 5 different 

breweries and will offer seating for a total of 

26,000 guests. In this anniversary year, the standard 

beer price will be EUR 7.90, which is an increase of 

50 Cents on the previous year. The most important 

events within the supporting programme: The Volksfest 

procession on the first Friday, the long festival 

procession on the second Sunday with groups in 

traditional costumes and motif wagons, a kiddie day 

on Tuesday 14 th August with fare prices reduced by 

half and special offers up until 7 p.m., as well as a 

kiddie theatre and a kiddie make-up event, a family 

day with reduced fare prices on Monday 20 th August, 

and the magnificent fireworks display at 9:45 

p.m. on the closing day, 20 th August. The Gäubodenvolksfest 

will operate daily from 11 a.m., and on 

the opening day from 5:30 p.m. It remains to be 

seen, if the Gäubodenvolksfest will achieve recordbreaking 

visitor numbers. Last year, the event registered 

1.35 million visitors; an increase of 120,000 

on the previous years. The Ostbayernschau also 

achieved an increase of 8 percent, reaching 

450,000 visitors. Since December 2011, various responsibilities 

have been changed regarding the organiser, 

the Straubing Ausstellungs- und Veranstaltungs 

GmbH. While Roman Preis is now Chairman 

of the Management Board and in charge of finances, 

personnel, and the Volksfest events, Günter 

Reiman is now Managing Director and responsible 

for city marketing, promotion at community centres, 

and special events such as the Christmas Market. 

The Gäubodenvolksfest and the Ostbayernschau 

will be organised by the head official Max Riedl – 

who therefore is the fairground director. For more information:

HOF VOLKSFEST 

Text: Rolf Orschel 

Fotos: Heiko Schimanzik, Archive Stadt Hof 

The Hof Volksfest numbers among the largest and most beautiful 

festivals in Upper Franconia. With an entertainment contingent, a 

pleasant atmosphere, and a large range of culinary specialities, the 

event entices thousands of visitors from near and far to the fairground 

on Ernst-Reuter-Straße. From 27 th July to 5 th August this year, 

the Hof residents and their guests can look forward to a centenary 

event under the motto “100 Years Hof Volksfest”. 

The anniversary event begins on Friday 27 th July with a colourful, onekilometre 

long festival procession with more than 60 groups on foot, 

which will set out from the town hall at 5 p.m. The parade will proceed 

to the festively decorated town centre to the beer tent on Naila Straße, 

where the event will be officially opened with the traditional tapping of 

the keg by the Hof Mayor, Dr. Harald Fichtner at about 7 p.m. From the 

applications received, the organisation team from the town authorities 

succeeded in putting together an attractive mixture of known and successful 

fairground attractions, as well as a several novelties for Hof. This 

year, the total of 52 showman operations, including 10 large attractions,

will fill some 30,000 square metres on the fairground. 

Goetzke’s "Rocket” was contracted as the main attraction 

for the first time, and with Aigner’s "Parkour” 

and the "Twister” Coaster from Kaiser there will be two 

further debutantes. Moreover, the "Fahrt zur Hölle” 

Ghost Ride from Dom-Jollberg will also be a novelty 

for Hof. The "Royal Bavarian Wheel” from the Jost 

firm, built up on the area to the left of the site in the 

rear cross row, will once again be the imposing landmark 

of the event, and provide a beautiful view of the 

town and its surrounding region. Also presented 

again will be Wolf’s "Breakdance” and the "Top Spin” 

from Kollmann after a break of many years, and the 

"Rotor” from Pluschies will bring back a touch of nostalgia 

to the Hof Volksfest. While young visitors will 

prefer quieter rides, Hartmann’s dodgem track and 

the Wave-Swinger from Distel will also offer a rougher 

ride experience. Younger visitors will also be able to 

enjoy two kiddie rides, the "Veteranen-Club” and a 

pony ride. A number of snack, sweet and drink 

booths will provide visitors with food and drinks, and 

different concession stalls will invite them to try their 

luck and marksmanship. 

Due to the rebuilding of the Freiheitshalle, the beer 

tent and the pleasant beer garden had to move to the 

Naila Straße some time ago. This year, everybody is 

looking forward eagerly to the heralded new beer 

tent. After many years, a local team headed by the 

Hof "Wärschtlamo” (sausage man) Marcus Traub 

from the Franconia Volksfestwirt GmbH newly founded 

last year, will be in charge of the gastronomic section. 

In order to give the Volksfest a Franconian touch, 

the publicans have organised a tent in a 'wooden 

look', combining modern gastronomy with a traditional 

ambience. The tent has a gallery and a balcony 

and will be equipped with a 20 m 2 multimedia-LED 

screen. As in the previous years, a number of snack 

booths will be built up all around the beer tent and

evening blaze of light

RHEDE 

What is probably the most rustic 

street fair event in the Münsterland 

takes place together with 

the Junggesellen-Schützenfest 

in Rhede, on the last weekend in 

August (this time from 24 th to 27 th ) 

every year. 

On the occasion of its 350 th anniversary, 

the traditional event enjoying 

excellent repute far beyond 

the region’s borders will offer a 

colourful mixture of ride and Funhouse 

attractions for all age 

groups, consisting of 13 large ride 

attractions and eight kiddie rides. 

Fairground Director Daniel Ehlting 

has even succeeded in contracting 

five novelty attractions for 

Rhede. This year, the large fairground 

will be occupied by the 

"Caesars Wheel” Ferris Wheel from 

Landwermann-Henschel, Petter’s 

dodgem track, the Wellenflug from 

Wendler, and two novelties; the 

"Happy Family” Funhouse from 

Heine and Schmidt’s spectacular 

"Transformer”, along with the kiddie 

rides "Kinderparadies” 

(Wendler), "Star Trek” (Krenz), and 

the "Zirkuswelt” pony ride from 

Kaiser. Moreover, the Musik Express 

from Krause and the "Quarter 

Tramp” Trampoline (Dahlhaus) 

will once again be built up on the 

Bahnhofstraße, together with another 

novelty ride, the magic "Circus 

Circus” from Bruch-Gründler. 

On the Rathausplatz, visitors will 

be whirled through the skies in Gu-

Opening ceremony 2011 on 

the “Kirmesplatz”

Schwenke’s kiddie ride next to it 

will surely capture the children’s 

hearts. At long last, after a nineyear 

break, it was possible to engage 

a water ride for Rhede once 

again. The "Piraten Fluss” from 

Heitmann-Schneider will provide 

visitors with a welcome cooling 

down. Deployed around the 

church will be the "Time Factory” 

Walkthrough construction from 

Hartmann, "Looping the Loop” 

(Marquis), the "Montgolfiere” 

(Finke-Zarnikau), the kddie railway

Moreover, a kiddie chain ride 

(Meeß) and the fifth novelty, the "Piraten 

Trip” will be presented on the 

Kirchwiese. Even one day before 

the opening of the event, the backstage 

tour will offer interesting insights 

behind the scenes of the 

fair. The event will be officially 

opened by the traditional tapping 

of the keg by Mayor Lothar Mittag 

on the stage next to the Toy Museum 

on Friday at 3 p.m., while 

younger visitors will be served with 

free drinks. Moreover a balloon 

race will be held and from 6 p.m., 

and street musicians will be playing. 

On Saturday, there will be a 

"Seniors' Day” as well as the popular 

Jugglers' Day, as well as a 

magic show, acrobats, and fire 

eaters. Monday will be the designated 

Family Day with reduced 

prices from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a 

magnificent fireworks display held 

after sundown will mark the end of 

the four-day event.

BEECK 

Text: 


On the last weekend in August 

(24 th to 28 th ), the Duisburg district 

of Beeck will be entirely 

dedicated to the regionally 

renowned Beeck Fair, which is 

at the same an event that that is 

by no means highly popular 

only with the “locals”. Many visitors 

from neighbouring cities 

also keenly look forward to this 

Volksfest event that takes place 

right in the city centre. 

The contrast between the old steel 

mills and coal mines and the 

colourful fair is something rather 

unique, and provides the event 

with its own and very special 

charm. The fairground attractions 

built up on the streets, in the market 

square and on the Beeck Kuhle-fairground 

itself provides this 

city district, with its traditionally 

high unemployment rate, with a 

welcome diversion. For five days, 

locals can forget their everyday 

worries as the showmen bring 

high spirits and carefree hours to 

Duisburg. While the Volksfest 

event is traditionally a good venue 

for ride attractions, as they are 

highly popular with the visitors, 

concession stalls don't fare too 

well. Therefore, it is very difficult 

for the organising Duisburg Marketing 

to contract an adequate 

number of different concession 

stalls every year, even though the 

sites on the market square and on 

the streets are quite profitable for 

most of the participating showmen. 

On the Beeck Kuhle-fairground, 

however, business is 

somewhat more difficult. Once 

again built up on the market 

square will be the "Top Car” 

dodgem track from Wendler, and 

the range of goods and the event 

garden with stage will also remain 

the same at this location. The two 

dodgem tracks, "Golden Greats” 

(Kropp Jnr.) and "Action-Star” 

(Tusch) will also be presented at 

the Beeck Fair. In addition to this 

Fr. 24.8. - Di. 28.8.12 

'dodgem track trio', the "Love-Express” from Kreft 

and Reminder’s "Musik Express” will constitute yet 

another double presentation. Moreover, visitors will 

be able to enjoy as many as four large round rides at 

the fair this year; namely the "Beach Jumper” (Wegener), 

Markmann‘s "Octopussy”, Bonner‘s "Breakdance 

No. 2”, and the "Take Off” Booster from Ahrend 

built up in the circuit course. With Noack’s "Hip Hop 

Fly” there will also be a swing, and the "Time Visitor” 

(Walkhoefer) Simulator and the "Remmi Demmi” Funhouse 

from Janßen will provide the visitors with a lot 

of fun. The selection of large ride attractions will be 

rounded off by the "Family Star” family coaster (Alberts). 

press, but of course there can be further changes in 

the occupancy of the Beeck Kuhle-fairground, as the 

organiser was still negotiating with two other owners 

of large ride attractions. 

As is now a familiar tradition, the fair will be opened 

by the tapping of the keg on Friday. On Monday, there 

will be reduced prices and the event will be closed 

by a magnificent fireworks display. Unfortunately, this 

year’s event will fall on the financially weakest final 

weekend of the month. This has had a negative impact 

on results not only at Beeck, but also on other 

fairgrounds. However, the many friends of the Beeck 

Fair may well have saved a respectable "kitty” to 

These were the plans at the time of going to spend at the fair.

PREMIÉRE 

Premiere in Goslar: 

“Freddy’s Company” from 

Hofmann-Jehn 

Following the spontaneous 

“trial run” at the Schützenfest 

in Hildesheim in mid- 

June, the Hofmann-Jehn 

family from Eisenach celebrated 

the official première of 

its new Walkthrough construction 

“Freddy’s Company” 

at the Schützenfest in 

Goslar.

PREMIÉRE 

Factory owner Hansen 

making grumpy announcements 

from his office window 

ufacture and design, and to repeatedly 

bring in new ideas. In 

cooperation with the Daniel 

Geibel Studio that was in 

charge of the artwork, and the 

Heimotion GmbH that provided 

the animated figures, a first 

class themed Walkthrough 

construction was created, 

which has a front length of 22 metres and a depth 

of 12 metres, requiring two transport vehicles for 

relocation. "Freddy’s Company” is an abandoned 

factory somewhere in Germany which, although 

technically closed-down, is still nonetheless 

managed by its former owner Hansen, who 

comes across as a somewhat grumpy character, 

as he makes his announcements over the 

microphone in the purest Saxony dialect from 

the material container piled up next to the office 

building. The premises are guarded by a "Scrottweiler” 

(a play on "Rottweiler” and the German 

word for "scrap”) living in a dog kennel in front of 

the factory entrance. Additionally, the construction 

offers surprisingly original accessories, 

such as real street lamps, a genuine wire mesh 

fence, wooden fences, refuse bins, neon signs, 

ancient enamel signs, and typical advertising 

banners, an old factory winch lowering the 

Rolling barrel, the 

vicious 'Scrottweiler’, and the 

washing brushes 

41

PREMIÉRE 

The Walkthrough course 

on the lower level 

The “5,000-kg press”, the 

old motorbike, and the office 

machinist into her work 

station, and fantastic 

artwork with many 

amusing details; in 

short a decorative 

scheme that constantly 

leaves new things to be 

discovered and supremely 

appealing at the 

same time. Having 

bought a ticket at the 

paybox, visitors set out 

on an adventurous 

course through the 

closed-down factory, 

providing 28 interactive 

effects spread over two 

levels. First, they have 

to negotiate a course 

across old wheels and tyres, before the course 

leads them right through an old Trabant 601 car 

("Trabbi”) – a popular and much-photographed 

motif also for the spectators in front of the construction 

– up to a car wash. Coming out of the 

rolling course freshly cleaned, visitors enter the 

glass labyrinth, at the end of which they reach 

the stairs to the upper level, where they have to 

overcome sliding boards, air nozzles, a turntable, 

slanted rollers, a novelty air pendulum, 

and an attack from a "Fire Engine Lady”. From 

there the course leads onto the front balcony, 

where visitors encounter another novelty – a 

5,000 kg scrap press! It goes without saying that 

visitors come to no harm as they slip at just the 

wrong moment and are suddenly "pressed” between 

soft padding like sausages in a hot dog 

roll – that is great fun also for those watching in 

front of the construction. Next, visitors encounter

bridge 

Exit through the hole in the 

fence, or through the gate 

a moving belt leading to the upper container occupied 

by the factory owner Hansen, before the 

course leads down again past a tilting wall to the 

rolling barrel, which naturally can also be avoided. 

Finally, another moving staircase leads to the 

exit, where it can be noted that visitors do not 

leave the construction through the gate, but 

through a large hole in the fence; a fantastic gag 

for participants and spectators alike. Even after 

the very first hours of operation, the Hofmann- 

Jehn family noted that the construction was visited 

by both young and old alike. While families 

enjoy the Funhouse by day, adolescents and 

adults have great fun mainly in the evening 

hours. Despite some quite spectacular effects, 

the whole construction was 

planned and built according to the 

latest safety regulations and was 

equipped with video surveillance 

of all rooms and facilities. On request, 

the moving belt and the 

rolling barrel can be stopped by 

the staff on site or at the paybox. 

After the Schützenfest in Goslar 

and the Volksfest in Ulm, "Freddy’s 

Company” will be presented 

among others at the Jacobimarkt 

in Neugersdorf, in Grafenwöhr, at 

the Aachen Sommerbend, in 

Nürnberg, Eisleben and Erfurt. ■

PREMIÉRE 

“Voodoo-Zauber” 

– also for kiddies 

at a fair event in Italy. While first drafts were 

drawn under the preliminary title of "Speed Jumper”, 

the family council eventually decided in 

favour of the name "Voodoo Jumper”. In contrast 

to constructions in other countries, the very first 

plans for the Schäfer ride already called for the 

ride to be elaborately decorated with a backflash 

and to sport clever lighting technology and a 

slanted platform both as an eye catcher, and a 

truly unique feature. 

Artwork with Brush and Paint 

Within 6 weeks, the Art Studio Bernhardt, contracted 

for the paintwork, completed the 

Voodoo-themed scenes on the backflash, carried 

out in Italy using paint brushes instead of the 

usual airbrush technique. Prior to and during his 

work, the painter repeatedly coordinated his 

ideas with those from the Schäfer family. In the 

end, Martina Schäfer, the wife of owner Hans 

Otto Schäfer enthused, "our ideas have been fully 

realised.” The lighting technology installed on 

the "Voodoo Jumper” comes from the Kairies 

firm, and includes an elaborate control and lighting 

system (24-channel control in the arms and 

8-channel control for the backflash and everything 

else). At the Schäfer family’s request, the 

control system was built and installed by the 

Spanish supplier Jumpmatic Rides, a specialist 

cooperating with the Fabbri Group. The TÜV Süd 

accompanied the complete building phase of 

the construction. Even though the time schedule

PREMIÉRE 

A visual ride treat 

was met by all participants concerned, the ride 

could neither be presented at the planned première 

in Ingolstadt during Pentecost, nor at the 

subsequent venue in Oberhausen-Sterkrade. 

This was due to the fact that a safety valve already 

built into the construction had to be 

changed in accordance with TÜV standards. As 

a result, visitors at the Sommersend in Münster 

were able to enjoy a true ride première. The ride 

experienced no serious technical problems at its 

première fairground; nevertheless employees 

from both the ride manufacturer and the Spanish 

manufacturer of the control system were present. 

The "Voodoo Jumper” was very well received 

in Münster just as at the world's largest 

Schützenfest in Hannover – which was to be expected, 

considering the success story of this 

ride type in other countries. A striking feature of 

the "Voodoo Jumper” is the relatively generous 

station and waiting area, which is due to the fact 

that the ride’s circular path completely fills the 

platform and leaves only the front section avail-

European Showmen’s Union 

Europäische Schausteller-Union 

Union Foraine Européenne 

International non-government organisation (NGO) • Established in 1954 

President Albert Ritter 

Dear Readers, 

The showman industry 

counts as one of 

the oldest forms of 

cultural communication 

in Europe. For 

centuries it has offered 

entertainment and 

fun for both young and 

old at Volksfest events 

and fairs. In its own interest, 

and in order to 

be effectively represented 

in respect to politics and administration, 

the European Showman Association 

and the Showman Union (ESU) merged in 

1954. 

I’m very pleased to announce that in the future 

the Kirmes & Park Revue will be informing 

you about the work of the ESU, and we 

thank Gemi Verlag for its willingness to cooperate. 

In order to familiarise you with the professional 

body of the European showman, we begin 

today with a portrait of the ESU. 

We wish you a lot of reading enjoyment 

Albert Ritter 

President 

Collectively for Europe’s Cultural Asset, the Volksfest 

The European Showman Union in Portrait 

From time immemorial, showmen were the pioneers of the European idea. They recognise 

neither political nor national borders, but build a relationship of understanding between 

neighbouring European countries. As amusement professionals they have been the 

determining factor for a light-hearted sojourn at the Volksfest, and have made recreational 

time a delight for centuries. 

Unity is strength, and it is only in solidarity that collective solutions can be found. However, 

a representation of interests demands a strong international and professional association. 

Oldest European Professional 

Association 

The European Showman Union (ESU), head 

office in Luxemburg, was founded in Amsterdam 

in 1954. It is the oldest European 

professional organisation with over 70,000 

members in 22 national associations, and 

has rendered, as a non-governmental 

organisation, acknowledged work for the 

benefit of the European cultural asset, the 

Volksfest. 

The ESU is an international representative 

amalgamation of national associations for 

travelling showmen as well as amusement 

parks and circus organisations. Its objective 

is the voluntary, amicable, and professional 

unification of all members of the showman 

trade, via their own national association in 

Europe. The European Women Association 

and the European Showman Youth Union 

are affiliated with the organisation. 

The ESU has campaigned in the interest of 

the showmen and for safety at Volksfest 

events in Europe for almost 60 years as advisory 

member to the European Council, the 

committee for Trade and Marketing of the 

European Union, and the European Movement. 

The ESU identifies itself as the pioneer of 

European thought, and rightly so. Only three 

years after its founding in 1954, the signing 

of the Römischen Verträge, (the Treaties of 

Rome) laid the foundation for the European 

Coal and Steel Community, the EWG, EG, 

and today’s EU. The trailblazers of international 

understanding however, were the 

showman and circus members all along. 

The saying "panem et circensis” ("bread and 

circuses”) has been around for over 2,000 

years, as well as the oldest form of cultural 

events: fairs, travelling circuses and Volksfests, 

where showmen, artists, marketers, 

and storytellers gathered together, in order 

to "flaunt” their abilities, to offer wares from 

near and far, and to tell of happenings and 

news from foreign countries. 

Together with nearly 300 amusement parks, 

over one billion people of all age groups 

amuse themselves at the 30,000 Volksfest 

events in Europe every year. There’s hardly 

another cultural sector that reaches such a 

huge number of the public annually. An important 

objective of the ESU is therefore to 

Collectively for European Volksfests: ESU- 

President with (f.l.) Deputy General Secretary Steve 

Severeyns, General Secretary Janny de Vries, 

Vice President Nicole Vermolen, Vice President 

Monika Niewinowska, Vice President Franck 

Delforge and President Albert Ritter. Vice President 

Charles Senn is missing from the photo.

European Showmen’s Union • Europäische Schausteller-Union • Union Foraine Européenne 

induce UNESCO to admit Volksfests as a 

World Cultural Heritage in the catalogue of 

intangible cultural assets, through its 

contact to the European Parliament. 

Unity is Strength 

Showmen, circus and amusement park 

operators have long recognised that the 

creation of a European community would 

result in peace, a higher standard of life, 

and more influence for the citizens of Europe. 

They are also aware however that the 

change of industry, economics, and society 

can only be achieved through commonality. 

The European Showman Union is working 

on this task with energy and determination. 

Whether it’s traffic or safety questions, 

standardisation, safety standards, education, 

tachograph exemption, tax relief, food 

law, wind load and environmental zones, 

the demands of the showmen have to be 

emphasised during discussions with those 

politically responsible in Brussels and 

Strasbourg. 

The future of the showman is determined 

more and more by European committees. 

Hence, the constructive collaboration between 

the European Showman Associations 

is more necessary than ever, in order 

to improve the framework conditions for 

the profession.

REGENSBURG 

Successful: the 

Maidult 2012 in Regensburg 

Text:

Ralf Schmitt 


At the Regensburg Maidult (from 11 th to 

28 th May), participating showmen 

achieved good to very good results. The 

weather was quite good and the visitors 

enjoyed spending their money. 

As a result, the Maidult was able to live up 

to last year’s success, and the police reported 

a "relatively peaceful Dult”. So, the 

Dult regulations, valid since 2010 including 

the banning of alcohol from the fairground, 

proved to be very helpful after all. Due to 

relocations and new approvals, or readmissions 

after long breaks, the fairground 

offered a slightly different image. While the 

"Cyber Space” (A.E. Kaiser) was a novelty 

for Regensburg, the "High Energy” 

(Kaiser), "Pirates Adventure” (Schneider), 

and Kinzler‘s "Omni” returned to the event 

after a long absence. Other attractions presented 

were the "Magic” (Hohmann), "Frisbee” 

(Goetzke) "Wellenflug” (Stranninger), 

"Wilde Maus” (Münch), Ferris Wheel (Willenborg), 

"Geisterschloss” (Kunz), and the 

dodgem track (Lindner). The church holiday 

of Ascension Day and the kiddie day 

proved to be the days with the highest visitor 

attendance.

WOLFSBURG

Schützenfest in Wolfsburg – this means ten days 

of Volksfest fun at the largest Schützen und 

Volksfest in the region located between the Harz 

Uplands and the Lüneburg Heath in South-East 

Lower Saxony, staged during the week of the Ascension 

Day Christian religious feast. 

The Schützengesellschaft Wolfsburg e.V. with its 

“Schützen Colonel” Rolf Wolters and the fairground 

director, showman Peter Vorlop, succeed in putting 

together a varied and highly appealing amusement 

section on the Allersee-fairground every year. This 

year, Peter Vorlop was able to contract a number of 

prominent attractions for the Schützen and Volksfest 

from 11 th to 20 th May 2012, namely the novelty 

Swing “Artistico” from the Köhrmann family, the 

Moon Rocket Ride from Goetzke, and the Super 

Propeller “Booster Maxxx” from Hoefnagels-Denies. 

For the first time, families were able to enjoy a 

number of coasters, such as the “Crazy Mouse” 

from Janßen, the track ride “Willi der Wurm” from 

Roos, and the nostalgic “Toboggan” from William 

Fischer, along with the “Wildwasser 2” from Heitmann-Schneider 

and the “Große Geisterbahn” from 

Schütze. In addition to the Ferris Wheel from Wilhelm 

and Vorlop’s dodgem track, the harmonious 

mixture of rides included the “Booster” 

(Ahrend), “Magic” (Hainlein), “Breakdance” 

(Welte), “Venezianisches Pferdekarussell” 

(Langenberg), and the “Jaguar Express” from 

Konny Ahrend, that were perfectly dispersed 

across the fairground. The “Krumm & Schief- 

Bau” from Hartman was a novelty Walkthrough 

construction for Wolfsburg this year, and was 

very well received by the public, as was the 

“Mäuse-Circus” from Bruck-Plexnies from 

Hannover. The selection of attractions available 

for younger visitors was also worthwhile seeing 

and included the “Fantasialand” from Berweke, 

“Teddy Land” from Kucklack, “Flying Airdance” 

from Wilhelm, “Barock-Kinderflieger” from 

Kutschenbauer, the “Top Drive No. 1” from Ahrend, 

and a Bungee Trampoline. Inside the Schützen 

beer tent from the Marris family, the daily changing 

festival and music programme presented included 

the show bands “Charivari”, “Musik Express”, “Bajuwaren“, 

“Die jungen Zillertaler”, and “Die Allertaler”. 

Despite football (DFB cup final, Champions League 

final) being broadcast on TV at the same time and 

a rather cold Ascension Day this year, reviews ware 

positive. It was a peaceful and 

happy Volksfest event with excellent 

visitor attendance, especially 

the second Saturday with a 

fireworks display (“Schützen 

Colonel” Rolf Wolters: “The fairground 

was jam-packed!”) – and 

in the end some 350,000 visitors 

were recorded attending the 

Schützen and Volksfest Wolfsburg 

2012.

“Take Off” (Ruppert) in 

Aalen 

Volksfest – Enter at your 

own risk 


This year, the Aalen 

spring festival on the 

Greut fairground was 

celebrated from 28 th 

April to 6 th May. 

The varied supporting 

programme included, 

among other enticements, 

the two Happy- 

Family-Days, the large 

fireworks display "Nacht 

der tausend Lichter”, the 

"Mallorca-Party” in the 

Papert beer tent, and on 

the fairground visitors encountered the "Caesars 

Wheel” Ferris Wheel, "Space Party”, the "Breakdance” 

dodgem track, "Take Off” and the "Horror World” Ghost 

Ride. The younger visitors enjoyed different kiddie rides 

and a mini dodgem. At the end of the event however, 

several showmen were not altogether satisfied 

with their profits - the Aalen spring festival had not lived 

up to their expectations. Moreover, there were complaints 

that the organiser, the Grund-Löwenthal firm, 

had approved too many attractions. The advertising 

campaign for the event was impressive though, despite 

the slightly strange large advertising board put 

up at the entrance displaying the Volksfest heart motif 

("We have a heart and a face and are looking forward 

to your visit”), bizarrely qualified however, by as many 

as five (!) signs warning that visitors "Enter at your own 

risk – Parents are liable for their children” had been 

added. It did not look very inviting.

ERLANGEN 

Nightlife in the Erlangen 

city centre enticed the public 

after the closing of the Berg 

Text & Photos: Helmut Bresler 

With a fantastic Berg event 

and the most beautiful beer 

garden in Germany, Erlangen 

has once again demonstrated 

its national appeal during Pentecost. 

The event is and remains 

a family festival for all 

generations, offering a beer 

festival and showman attractions 

in close proximity to one another. 

Although there was hardly any room left in the Berg 

area and on the streets due to the enormous mass 

of visitors on the Whitsun weekend, the atmosphere 

was peaceful and friendly. Apart from Kipp’s 

Ferris Wheel the ride site accommodated only one 

ride this time, a layout Michael Wolf’s "Breakdance” 

benefited from. Hempen’s "Big Bamboo” with its 

water fountains provided visitors with a welcome 

cooling down, and the Hawaii-Ketten characterised 

the image of the event throughout the 12-day 

event. The public loved the show-theatre, which 

became the talk of the day. A waste of space was 

the placement of Kunze’s "Fantastical Trip” on the 

Ghost Ride site in the centre of the Berg area. As 

it did not completely fill the site’s depth, a mobile 

54

transmitter mast was erected there for the first time. 

Traditionally, this site is occupied by a larger attraction 

from the show and Funhouse sector. Bügler’s 

"Adrenalin” marked the end. For the first time, 

the central bus stop was moved to the rear Berg 

section at 9 p.m., a benefit for the showmen in this 

area. On the private property below the Ferris 

Wheel, Nülken’s "Skydance” appeared for the first 

time and the operator was also very satisfied with 

results. Another new feature in the layout was sales 

booths built up all around the "Alt Wien” pony ride. 

One could easily ask the question as to whether it 

is sensible to build up a couple of operations in 

front on Monday morning as it seriously affects the 

overall image in the entrance area. Annoying as 

usual was the daily closing already at 11 p.m. while 

partying goes on in the city up until the early morning 

hours. The pocket-size information with the 

Berg site plan from the Erlangen Tourismus und 

Marketingverein was indispensable once again. 

Not even those who do not like wine came to the

Small but pleasant – is the perfect summary 

of the spring festival with accompanying 

fair in Wangen / Allgäu, which was 

held from 4 th to 7 th May. 

Organiser was Klaus Grubart from Isny, who 

also presented his new "Tornado 4 D” Miami 

at the event. In addition to a dodgem track, 

a bungee trampoline and a kiddie ride, visitors 

could also enjoy the Simulator from Zinnecker 

on the fairground located near the 

town centre. Various game booths, sweet 

stalls and snack booths rounded off the 

Volksfest fun in the Bavarian community. ■

SMALL SPRING MARKETS IN LOWER-SAXONY

Spring markets held in a number of Lower 

Saxony districts on the last weekend in April 

marked the beginning of the fairground season: 

Vechta 

From 28 th to 29 th April, the spring market organised 

by the town authorities enticed the public to the 

centre of Vechta. The short festival mile consisting 

of some 20 showman operations, spreading from 

the Große Straße up to the Bremen Tor, was appealingly 

laid out by fairground director Jens Siemer. 

Three kiddie rides and a kiddie Ferris Wheel were 

joined by a number of snack and sweet booths as 

well as game booths. Moreover, the shops in the 

town centre were open for business on the final 

opening day. 

Damme 

The spring market held in the town located south of 

Vechta from 27 th to 30 th April was organised by the 

Bramsche town authorities in cooperation with the 

Mania Entertainment firm. Only since last year have 

the ride attractions been built up in the town centre. 

This time, some 25 showmen had come to Damme 

presenting, among other attractions, the "1001 

Nacht” Miami, the "Auto Discothek” dodgem track 

from Strothenke and Piontek’s "Breakdance”. Three 

kiddie rides and a Water-Walkingball attraction, as 

well as various games and snack booths rounded 

off the entertainment contingent. On the Saturday 

there was a bicycle auction, and on the Sunday visitors 

were attracted by shops open for business 

and a large flea market. 

Bramsche 

In sunny weather, the spring fair (27 th April to 1 st 

May) was opened by Mayor Liesel Höltermann. The 

"High Impress” from Oberschelp was engaged as 

a novelty attraction for Bramsche. Furthermore, 

there were the dodgem track from Barber, Noack’s 

"Hip Hop Fly”, the Musik Express, and the Simulator 

from Welte. 

The younger Volksfest visitors were able to enjoy a 

bungee-trampoline and three kiddie rides. A number 

of sweets, snack, games and beverage booths 

rounded off the selection of attractions. Highlights 

in the supporting programme were the Family Day 

on Friday, the fireworks display on Saturday evening, 

the open shopping Sunday, and two happy 

hours at the ride attractions on Monday. ■

BERLIN-STEGLITZ 


Kai Morawetz 

From 25 th May to 10 th June the “Steglitz 

Woche” was celebrated for the 60 th time. On 

the occasion of the milestone anniversary of 

the popular festival, the organizing district office 

Berlin Steglitz-Zehlendorf and the Showman 

Association Berlin e. V. invited the public 

to attend a colourful mixture of cultural 

programme and Volksfest event at the idyllic 

Bäkepark in the south west of Berlin. 

Even though the fairground surrounded by 

greenery is difficult to find for non-resident visitors, 

its vast number of tall old trees provides a 

special flair where showman attractions can be 

placed harmonously. Unfortunately, there was 

no Ferris Wheel among the 60 showman attractions 

built up this time. Nevertheless, the Wave- 

Swinger (Barthel) took visitors up to the famous 

"Berlin Skies” providing them with a magnificent 

view across the fairground. In addition to the 

"Melodie Star” from Müller, visitors encountered 

Dinali’s "Breakdance”, the "High Explosive” family 

coaster (Vorlop), "Apres-Ski-Party” Funhouse 

from Fackler, "Walk of Fame” labyrinth (Schürmann), 

"Halloween” (Rasch), and the dodgem 

track from Noack. Younger visitors could enjoy a 

kiddie scooter, a Jet Ride, and a nostalgic kiddie 

ride. Particularly noticeable was a lovingly 

laid out beer garden under shady trees. A number 

of Continental Pick Stands (at the 

"Glückspalast” visitors received a football mascot 

free if they bought an XL-size ticket bag) and 

other games booths invited the public to try their 

luck and marksmanship. The Volksfest was 

officially opened by the District Mayor, Norbert 

Kopp, giving a short speech and tapping the keg 

at 6 p.m. on Friday. Among the highlights of the 

event were the Family Days 

with half fares on all rides on 

Wednesdays, and three fireworks 

displays held on Saturday 

evenings. On 31 st May, the 

showmen invited 1,000 handicapped 

children and adolescents 

to a free stroll across the 

fairground, as also the older 

generation and school crossing 

patrols and on the 4th and 

7th June. At the time of our visit, 

visitor attendance was quite 

modest due to cold and rainy 

weather.

From 21 st to 25 th June, locals and guests from 

near and far celebrated the Johannisfest in 

the North-eastern Hessian district town. 

The traditional festival known since 1927, for 

which the whole town was decorated with oakleaf 

wreaths and in the colours blue and white, 

offered many interesting highlights and an 

amusement park of attractive ride and Funhouse

constructions built up on the Werdchen fairground. 

The Johannisfest is traditionally celebrated 

on the first Sunday in July. However, if the 

Hessian summer holidays already begin in June, 

the event is put forward to the last Sunday prior 

to the holidays. Throughout the five-day event 

the town’s social life is completely dedicated to 

the festival events in the town centre. The town 

festival was officially opened by the tapping of 

the keg and a Schürzenjäger concert in the beer 

tent on the Werdchen fairground on Thursday 

evening. As is tradition, the event began with the 

processions of a number of nursery schools and 

parties throughout the whole town centre in the 

late afternoon. As usual, Saturday began with 

the Maienzug (May procession) of pupils carrying 

birch bushes into town like a living forest. At 

3 p.m. the rides on the fairground eventually began 

to make their rounds. The impressive large 

swing "Artistico” from Köhrmann engaged as 

novelty and main attraction, was effectively 

placed at the main entrance. Rides presented 

were the "Breakdance” from Grünberg, dodgem 

track from Schellberg, Scheele’s "Top Spin”, 

"Geisterschloss” Ghost Ride (Schütze), Deinert‘s 

"Big Spin”, "Euro Rutsche” (Kutschenbauer 

& Roden), the Musik Express "Star Light” (Nier), 

the "Hupferl” (Blume), and Schellberg’s Twister 

"Scirocco”. The show and funhouse sector was 

represented by the "Happy Family” (Heine) and 

"The Game” (Weber) and children could enjoy 

kiddie rides, a kiddie track ride, a Jet Ride, water-walking-balls, 

and a bungee-trampoline. A 

colourful assortment of various concession stalls 

rounded off the entertainment contingent. The 

Johannisfest was closed with a brilliant fireworks 

display on late Monday evening.

FRANKENBERG 

Text & Photos: Michael Petersen 

From 25 th to 29 th May, the 435 th Pfingstmarkt 

was celebrated in the North Hessian town of 

Frankenberg. The traditional event is a successful 

mixture of a fair with attractive ride 

and Funhouse attractions and a sales exhibition 

for industry, trade, crafts and agriculture. 

Due to an ample supporting programme, the 

event enjoyed a high visitor attendance. 

Some 250,000 visitors rushed to the five-day 

Pfingstmarkt in the 20,000-resident town, which 

has evolved into a coveted venue for showmen 

from all over Germany over the last few years. 

58

Some guests even come from far away, just to 

be able to visit the traditional market. The licence 

plates of cars in the car parks are clear sign. In 

1960, the Frankenberg showman family Wagner 

took over the organisation of the Pfingstmarkt. 

Thanks to the tireless commitment of the Wagner 

family, the Pfingstmarkt evolved from the local 

festival of former times into a Volksfest event 

known throughout the surrounding region. It was 

repeatedly and carefully improved and extended 

without being overdone. Nevertheless, the 

organiser always succeeded in contracting novelties 

from all amusement sectors. As a result, 

the news of the event’s steadily increasing attractiveness 

quickly got around among the 

showmen. For many years, Brunhilde (Bruni) 

Wagner skilfully organised the Pfingstmarkt. After 

she passed away, her grandson Max Wagner, 

who had already organised the Pfingstmarkt 

together with his grandmother, took over this 

task. In his welcoming speech, the Frankenberg 

Mayor Rüdiger Heß praised the good organisation 

of the Pfingstmarkt by the Wagner organisation 

team, and pointed out that the event is an 

invaluable advertising medium for the town. 

While several large Pentecost Volksfest events in 

North-Rhine Westphalia suffered from the sticky 

hot summer weather, the Frankenberg Pfingstmarkt 

on the "Wehrheide” fairground presented 

itself in top form. The rides were fully occupied 

and visitors rushed the Ghost Ride and the Ferris 

Wheel until long after midnight. Max Wagner 

had put together a first-class fairground from the 

large number of applications received, with the 

"Jupiter” Ferris Wheel (Barth-Kipp) and the "Daemonium” 

Ghost Ride from Blume being the 

prominent highlights. While Weber’s "Flash” was 

a novelty for Frankenberg, Grünberg’s "Breakdance” 

was a regular participant. Markmann’s 

"Hexentanz” enthralled all age groups, just as 

the family coaster "Twister” from the Kaiser family. 

The "Rainbow” (Klinkerfuß), the "Starlight” 

Musik Express (Nier), Klünder‘s "Kristallgrotte”, 

Walldorfs "Twister”, and the two dodgem tracks 

(Kreuser and van Elkan) rounded of the selection 

of large attractions. There was a point of criticism 

in the gastronomy sector though. At the 

time of the author’s visit to the Pfingstmarkt, the 

messy condition of a large beer garden was well 

noticed. The tables were not cleaned and drinks 

were served in plastic cups – quite outdated. The 

five-day Volksfest event was opened with a festival 

procession on Friday, followed by a varied 

programme in the beer tent, and a brilliant fireworks 

display in the late evening. On Sunday a 

church service was held, and in the evening 

there was a disco party in the beer tent. Monday 

and Tuesday were the designated family days 

with special actions, as well as fare prices being 

reduced to half on Tuesday.

HALVER 

Text & Photo: 


Even without the Ferris Wheel missed by many a 

visitor, the small town in North-Rhine Westphalia 

celebrated a happy fair event from 8 th to 11 th June. 

The organisers had once again succeeded in 

putting together an attractively occupied fairground 

in the town centre. Due to the annually changing major 

ride attractions, the fairground offers a different 

image each year, with the "Drive In” dodgem track 

(Schmidt) and the "Breakdance” (Bonner) being the 

only regular participants. Moreover, at least one kiddie 

ride is changed according to an annual rotation 

schedule. As the organizers have recognized that in 

the meanwhile the rotation scheme has reached the 

limits of possibility, appropriate action has been taken. 

As a result, last year’s large slide site did not accommodate 

any ride attraction this year, and will not 

be occupied in the future. As the majority of attractions 

were allocated new sites, the fairground offered 

an attractive overall image. For the first time, the 

“Super Mouse” in Halver 

59

A LOOK BACK 

"Street Style” (Mölter) was built up in the entrance 

area of the fairground. The combination of "Breakdance” 

and "Top Spin” (Scheele) was especially 

popular with the younger generation. In front of the 

Kultur-Bahnhof (culture railway station), Mölter’s "Super 

Tower” took its passengers up to the skies, and 

was joined by the dodgem track occupying its traditional 

site. A "Spinning” Coaster from the Netherlands 

built up on the tracks of the former railway line 

turned out to be the crowd puller in Halver. The "Big 

Monster” (Krameyer), unfavourably placed in the 

rear station area did not fare too well though. This site 

is simply unsuitable for ride attractions. Next year, 

the former station area will be available for the fair 

event once again, even though it is up for sale and 

is to be developed. Retail outlets, office and residential 

buildings are to be built and no ride attractions 

will be built up there during construction. On 

completion, this area will be available for the fair 

event again. In the end, most of the showmen were 

satisfied with the course of business. However, just 

as at other Volksfest events held at the same time, 

the first match of the German national team during 

the European Football Championship caused losses 

also in Halver. 

Negatively noticeable at the time of our visit were a 

number of very dirty areas in the town centre, where 

the organisers had apparently forgotten to dispose 

of the rubbish. This slightly marred the otherwise perfect 

overall image of the Halver event.

Text & Photos: Michael Petersen 

At the end of the six-day Corpus 

Christi Day Fair (6 th to 11 th June) 

the organizer and the showmen 

gave a positive review. The 

traditional fair in the city centre 

was once again a crowd puller 

for visitors from the surrounding 

region, and a popular tourist 

attraction during the extended 

weekend. 

The fair was extensively celebrated 

up to the late evening hours already on the first 

opening day, and visitor attendance on Corpus Christi 

Day exceeded expectations by 

far. Due to the rush of visitors, 

there was barely room to move in 

the area between Neumarkt, Zilianplatz 

and the station. However, 

the security concept was very 

successful. The police, fire 

brigade, the Public Order Office, 

and the ambulance services cooperated 

professionally in redirecting 

the masses of visitors, 

proving the critics of a security 

concept as being wrong. While 

results on Friday and Saturday 

afternoon met expectations, it was 

a completely different picture on 

Saturday evening, when football 

was the king in Germany. On this 

usually strong-turnover-evening 

of all times, the German national 

team played its first match in the 

European Football Championship, 

and the fair event was almost 

completely forgotten. Public screening and partying 

was now the order of the day, whereas the rides and 

Funhouse attractions were just standing by, causing 

almost all participants bitter disappointment, and 

moderated the excellent start of the Corpus Christi 

Day Fair. The following days were as successful as in 

the years before, as the next match of the German national 

team took place only after the fair in Sterkrade. 

Except for one attraction, occupancy met up with our 

preview. The new "Voodoo Jumper” ride (Schäfer) 

could not celebrate its eagerly awaited première, but 

was replaced by Schäfer’s attractive "American 

Swing”. On late Monday evening, the Corpus Christi 

Day Fair was closed with a magnificent fireworks display. 

According to the organiser, the Sterkrade Corpus 

Christi Day Fair registered far more than 1 million 

visitors, thus proving it foremost position as a top fair 

event once again. The selection of fairground attractions 

was perfect, and the layout didn’t show any apparent 

drawbacks. The attractions built up on the Eugen-zur-Nieden 

Ring between the market and the ascent 

to the Hirschhügel did not fare too well though, 

as this area is not sufficiently frequented. For this reason, 

an attractive and spectacular major ride is to be 

placed there in the future.

Regular guest: 

“Breakdance” (Michel). Ghost 

Rides are very popular in Metz 


Norman Vogt 

This year’s “Foire de Mai” (5 th to 28 th May) in 

Metz offered visitors many new and exciting 

attractions, and no less than six debutantes 

for this venue. 

One of these was the "Maxximum 2” Propeller construction 

("Infinity”, from Mondial) from Gregory Kopp. 

The Top Scan "Poseidons Rache” was also built up in 

Metz for the first time. It was presented by the showman 

Pourrier, who was a surprise guest with the "Crazy 

Tiger” (Mondial "Super Nova”) last year. The ride experience 

it offered was not new in Metz though, as Gregory 

Kopp built up his structurally identical "Drop 

Zone” on this fairground a number of times some years 

ago. Further novelty attractions were the Walkthrough 

construction "Cake Walk”, the "Cinema 3 D”, "Le Batoo” 

(a track boat), as well as the "Ranger” with two 

gondolas). After a break of several years, a "Round up” 

ride was also presented once again. However, it was 

unfavourably placed between two other attractions, 

where it was hardly noticed. Other attractions presented 

were two Ghost Rides, various Walkthrough constructions, 

the "Euro Splash”, a Simulator, the Smashing-Jump 

Ride "Twister – Maxi Jump”, as well as the 

regular participants "Shaker Loop”, "Breakdance”, 

"Move in Top”, "Super Railway”, "Toboggan” and the 

Ferris Wheel. Moreover, there were as many as 4 (!) 

"Walking Water Balls” attractions, while the number of 

"Bungee Trampoline constructions” had been reduced 

to just 2 examples.

COASTER 

Despite the low height, 

the new coaster offers an 

exciting ride experience not 

only for the family public 

After being open nearly 50 years, 

SeaWorld San Diego has opened 

its first true roller coaster. While 

SeaWorld Orlando and Sea 

World San Antonio have been 

entertaining visitors with coasters 

since the 1990’s, the original 

“SeaWorld” park has gone 

without until last season. Has it 

been worth the wait?

Mack Rides 

The station area in a Polynesian 

style 

Manta 

In 2004 SeaWorld San Diego opened “Journey to 

Atlantis“ built by Mack Rides, which actually 

though is more water ride than coaster. 

Not long after its opening, plans began for the 

installation of a fully blown coaster with launch 

drive, which in actual fact should have been built 

by Premier Rides, after all the company had just 

realized this type of attractions for both Universal 

Studios in Hollywood and Orlando. However, due 

to the looming sale of the parent company 

Anheuser-Busch to competitor InBev (end of 

2008), the project was put on ice for the time being. 

It was only after the US financial investor 

Blackstone took over the park section in October 

2009 that the endeavour for a new coaster began 

again. The decision however was made for a Multi- 

Launch-Coaster from Mack Rides, after its firstling 

“blue fire” had celebrated its première a few 

months before at Europa-Park. After two years of 

concept planning, the 18 month building period 

began. 

“Manta” is a completely different genre of coaster 

to the identically named ride found at SeaWorld 

Orlando. Orlando’s take on “Manta” is an intense 

Flying Coaster from B&M (see KPR 7/2009) while 

San Diego’s is a non inverting family coaster. This 

was a conscious decision due to the different 

target audience, but both rides fit their names in 

recreating the flight of a manta ray. 

Both “Manta” named rides are far more than a 

coaster, as both are the focal point of a newly 

themed area, combining animal exhibits and interactions 

with a major ride. In the case of San Diego 

an existing touch pool that was part of the previous 

“Forbidden Reef” area was reconfigured to fit to the 

new “Manta”, completely in Polynesian style. 

Visitors cross a bridge over the coaster track, and 

reach the ride’s entrance and the large bull nose 

ray pool, where guests can reach in and touch the 

inquisitive creatures that happily swim to the surface 

to be stroked. 

64

There’s also the chance for guests to go below the 

surface to view the fish through underwater viewing 

windows. There’s also a flamingo enclosure, 

whose colours distinctly contrast the blue and 

purple colours of “Manta’s” track. 

To join the queue for the new coaster, guests must 

walk down a set of stairs, alongside the main 

splashdown of the ride, and then walk past underwater 

viewing windows of the manta pool, before 

continuing along a typical queue line to the ride’s 

station building. It’s a shame the aquarium portion 

isn’t longer, but it gives some entertainment to 

those waiting far back in the queue. Like in Orlando, 

non riders have a separate access to the 

aquarium area. 

Reaching the station, the ride staff efficiently batch 

guests into rows, promptly getting people into the 

trains and safely checking restraints in time for fast 

dispatch. Mack Rides have a timer on the control 

panel that counts down to the earliest opportunity 

that a train can be dispatched, most of the time the 

operators beat the countdown and are given 

praise over the PA when they do, resulting in 

regular high 5’s all round, so despite the stress 

there’s also a good staff atmosphere. 

Boarding one of four trains, riders find themselves 

seated in some of the most comfortable seats on 

any coaster at the current time. Although the 

restraints are pulled down from over head, they are 

simply lap bars, and there is no portion that ends 

up over the shoulders. The seats are raised leaving 

all but the tallest riders with their legs dangling 

as if the train was floorless. 

The train leaves the station and rolls down into a 

tunnel, where it comes to a halt on a slightly upward 

ramp. A 270 degree video projection created by 

36 projectors then begins, giving the impression 

that one is under the sea with a variety of fish 

including manta rays swimming around. The whole 

train also begins to rock backwards and forwards 

giving the sensation of drifting with the waves of 

the ocean. This is created by mini starts and the 

train rolling back down the incline. After around 30 

seconds the music builds, the tunnel door opens, 

and the train is accelerated to almost 70 km/h in 

two seconds. 

The name sign brings to 

mind the 2009 erected coaster 

of the same name at SeaWorld 

Orlando 

Even the roof has been themed 

right down to the last detail 

65

The train ascends 

to its 

highest point, 

a 9 metre high 

banked turn 

before dropping 

down 16 

metres into a 

lagoon for a 

simulated 

splashdown 

in the water. The track travels up through a sweeping 

hairpin turn wrapping around the ride’s main 

sign and signature rock formation before banking 

left and into an airtime hill. After another couple of 

swooping turns and airtime hills it’s into the midcourse 

brakes. Just a little bit sadly, that these 

brakes reduced the speed of the train before it is 

launched for a second time. A faster rolling launch 

would have made the whole ride more fluid, and 

potentially less energy would be needed to get the 

train back to speed. Anyway, the second LSMlaunch 

sees riders fired back up to the ride’s top 

speed of 69 km/h. What follows next is a more intense 

layout than the first half. Exiting the second 

LSM launch, the track banks to the left and heads 

through a figure of eight layout that pretty much 

hogs the ground, only changing in height when 

crossing over parts of the track. This series of turns 

are all taken at a more aggressive and thrilling 

pace that comes as a pleasant surprise after the 

more graceful, but equally fun, first half of the ride. 

All too soon the train hits the final magnetic brakes, 

before rolling into the unload station. 

Given those huge smiles on the riders’ faces, it’s 

hardly surprising that SeaWorld San Diego have 

played host to a number of other theme park 

operators keen to take a look at what is so special 

about Mack Ride’s latest creation. According to 

SeaWorld’s President, even managers of parks 

known for their extreme coasters have been impressed 

by this family friendly attraction. 

66

As with many coasters, the experience is different 

depending on where one sits. Towards the back 

gives the best opportunity to enjoy the projection 

tunnel, as towards the front most of the action 

appears to be taking place behind, also seeing the 

tunnel door which is a gap in the projection, and 

one also gets a better view of the water splash. 

While sitting in the front gives passengers the most 

intense ride with the best hits of airtime of which, 

happily, there are a lot. 

Currently the landscaping under much of the 

coaster track and through the queue line is a little 

sparse. It’s apparent there has been substantial 

planting, and hopefully in the not too distant future 

the plants will have grown to cover the ground. It 

may be a bit picky, but swooping around mounds 

of brown dirt doesn’t quite fit with the idea of 

swooping around the sea like a manta ray. A subtle 

effect that helps with the sensation of gliding over 

water is the sound of the wheels. Whether is by 

lucky chance or design, the noise sounds like 

ocean waves. As the trains travel through the 

elements, in particular as the speed changes, the 

pitch of the noise also changes much like when 

listening to waves. If this was deliberate, then 

bravo for such attention to detail, if not, well done 

anyway. 

The complete ride height of less than ten metres 

may come as a surprise to some, but the coastline 

of California has very strict building restrictions. 

Specifically the city of San Diego requires that 

structures should not exceed a 

height of 30 feet. Since the law 

came into force in 1972, the 

height has only been exceeded 

three times, one of which was for 

“Journey to Atlantis”. “SeaWorld 

San Diego” does have permission 

to exceed this to build a 

coaster 50 metres tall, but it was 

decided that the concept idea 

for “Manta” didn’t require ex-

ceeding the limit. So something bigger is yet to 

come. 

A unique problem created by the bat ray touch 

pool, is that it has a tendency to attract sea gulls, 

hoping to scavenge some of their food. Roller 

coasters and flying birds aren’t a good mix, so Sea- 

World San Diego has employed a bird of prey 

handler to use a hawk to scare away the sea gulls. 

Generally the hawk is only let loose when the park 

is closed just in case it actually catches a seagull, 

as it might upset some guests to see a gull being 

eaten. During opening hours just the presence of 

the hawk on the handlers arm is enough to keep 

the sea gulls at their distance. 

On paper, “Manta’s” statistics are relatively unimpressive, 

it’s not extreme, it doesn’t reach high 

speeds or reach tall heights, but don’t let this fool 

anyone. The reality is “Manta” is a coaster that’s 

enormous fun that can be appreciated by riders of 

all ages, with enough thrills to satisfy even adrenalin 

junkies. The projection idea breaks the mould 

and raises “Manta” to a whole new level. Teaming 

Sea World San Diego’s creativity and Mack’s 

coaster knowhow may have lead to the creation of 

the ultimate family coaster. “Manta” proves that 

parks should not only go for world’s firsts and world 

records, but go back to what coasters are really 

about, pure fun! 

Interview with John Reilly 

John Reilly has been the president of SeaWorld 

San Diego since 2010, prior to that he was the President 

Busch Gardens Williamsburg. He took time 

out to talk to Kirmes & Park Revue about “Manta”. 

What is Manta? 

It’s a brand new mega attraction that really only 

SeaWorld could create. It’s part family coaster, part 

thrill ride, a really comprehensive animal attraction 

and exhibit that tells the story of the ray. The ride 

68

COASTER 

itself was meant to mimic the movement of the ray, 

soaring diving twisting along the surface of the 

ocean. 

What was the decision behind a more family 

Manta coaster than that found in Orlando? 

That is been the really encouraging early 

return on Manta. We knew families would like the 

ride, the animal exhibit and the queue because we 

designed it with their input in our research. Enthusiasts 

from around the country are giving great 

reviews. 

Park President John Reilly 

What the rides both have in common is they 

both tell the story of the animal, the ray; they both 

have heavily thematic queues and exhibit space 

based on the ray. The difference here in San Diego 

is the height requirement and we’re very 

deliberate in the creative process to ensure we 

reached the critical mass of thrill for people seeking 

a thrill, but we also wanted families with children 

to be able to ride. In general a 7 year old, sometimes 

a tall 5 or 6 year old can ride this ride. And 

we thought that was very important because that’s 

who’s coming to SeaWorld San Diego. 

How are young people responding to it? 

Is the height restriction the reason for going 

for a multiple launch coaster? 

We have a master plan that does enable us to 

exceed the standard height requirement for the 

coast of California. “Journey to Atlantis” exceeds 

the general height requirement. And in that master 

plan we can build to 160 feet with some restrictions. 

But we didn’t feel this ride was the ride to do 

it, low to the ground skimming across the surface 

of the ocean. And then the excavation of ten metres 

makes it really unique. So this just wasn’t the 

time that we chose to exceed that 30 foot guidance. 

What were Mack 

Rides like to work with? 

Just fantastic. We’re 

thrilled with our partnership 

with Mack. They 

have great engineers. 

The reliability of the ride 

has been fantastic. 

They’ve been here on the 

ground with us for 

months and months. I 

couldn’t say better things 

about them. ■

COASTER 

In the case of the new 

“Skyrush” at Hersheypark, 

love and pain seem to be 

very close to each other 

Those who don’t tag along with 

the big parks and their “higher, 

faster, longer” concept have to 

find another niche. At Hersheypark 

from the US chocolate manufacturer 

Hershey, this niche is 

called “innovation”, as many 

ride types at the park were the 

first of their kind worldwide. Now 

they are presenting another 

authentic prototype with the Intamin 

V-seating firstling, the 

“Sky Rush”.

The lift transports 32 passengers 

into the American skies 

at lightning speed 

Skyrush 

The seating arrangements on “Skyrush” are 

similar to the new Hypercoaster-trains from 

Bolliger & Mabillard. However, due to the narrow 

gauge of the Intamin construction, the thrillseeker 

seated on the outside even experiences a real 

bottomless ride experience, which is the reason 

that the manufacturer also dubs the attraction as 

a “Half Wing Coaster”. Optically the very openly 

designed group of cars look good – slim and 

beautiful – so much so that one can hardly wait to 

get on board. This process proves the real friendship 

between the waiting quartets of ride guests, 

if they know each other at all of course. Naturally 

the run on is for the free and open outside seats, 

as the two seats in the middle are less popular. 

This results in the group of four that had just been 

allocated their places by the station personnel 

splitting up, with two guests waiting for the next 

train, and the seats in the middle remain empty. 

This brings the real capacity down, with the additional 

fact that Hersheypark has deemed loading 

and unloading to take place on the same side of 

the station platform. 

Once seated in the train, most 

possibly in one of the coveted 

outside positions, or even possibly 

in the last row of the train 

that promises airtime in abundance 

due to the 85° steep first 

drop, the pleasure is outweighed 

initially by such a free position 

in the outside seats offered 

by the “Skyrush”, which is not 

available on any other train 

system in the whole world! “This 

is going to be great” are the 

thoughts, and when the train is 

pulled by the cable lift in only a 

few seconds at a sheer unbelievable 

speed to the 61 metre 

high lift, one is simply speech- 

70

less. This lift even outdoes other high-speed cable 

lifts from the same manufacturer that in comparison 

are like a lame duck. The train shoots over 

the lift peak, and logically gains speed so that the 

back section of the train is ripped over the summit 

with a vengeance that has never been known 

before. Up until this point the “Skyrush” has already 

established itself with a number of superlatives, 

but with the first drop unluckily there’s another: the 

so very popular airtime on “Skyrush” becomes a 

scourge for riding guests. How can that happen? 

It’s due to two things that come together here: the 

first is that there is no other coaster 

in world that has this type 

of powerful, uncompromising 

ride sequence fitting to airtime. 

And the second reason is the 

construction of the restraints. 

Maybe Intamin should have 

been inspired by the excellent 

A view of the “Skyrush” 

track course 

The station building is 

very near to the “Comet” wooden 

roller coaster 

Return to the station 

71

The super fast lift per 

cable winch is followed by an 

85° drop 

The world’s first layout 

that has been designed for consistent 

maximum airtime 

lap bars on the new coasters from Mack Rides. 

Unfortunately however the Intamin restraints were 

obviously optimised for the ergonomics of an 8- 

year-old, or perhaps Chinese passengers. In the 

case of European or American teenagers or 

adults, the lap bars are not situated flat on the 

thigh, but press the passengers into the seats by 

the back edge – which unfortunately results in a 

negative effect with the combination of the worthwhile 

catapult seat-airtime from “Skyrush”. And 

that’s really a great shame as it puts the actually 

great, unusual, and breathtaking ride experience 

somewhat in the background. 

And this is how it goes: the incredible and very 

steep first drop throws the riding guest with a right 

curve to ground level. The course then climbs to 

around 30 metres. Here the train actually shoots 

over the peak and one clutches at painful thighs 

a second time. Right next to the turnaround of the 

neighbouring wooden coaster “Comet”, the “Skyrush” 

presses the riding guest immediately into the 

seat with a ground level 240° left curve, and then 

travels over the lagoon and flows into the next 

camelback with terrific airtime. This is followed by 

a right curve that rises slightly with the banking 

reaching almost the 90° mark. A light right-left- 

72

swerve leads into the next brutal turnaround with 

an ensuing right curve, and already another no 

less intense turnaround links up to the left. The last 

airtime hill sends the train into a strongly angled 

curve to the left, and following a slight bounce the 

train enters the brake section that runs parallel to 

the “Comet” lifthill. 

When the train returns to the station and the 

restraints are released, a good half of the riding 

guests are already rubbing their thighs first thing. 

The general park visitor teeters on the reaction 

somewhere between bewilderment over this type 

of strong power and the wrong assumption that 

this is the way it should be on such an intensive 

construction. Unfortunately there’s a lot of ride fun 

potential that has been given away here. Could 

this be rectified by a belated and marginal change 

to the restraints? Laura C. Woodburn, Director of 

Rides Operations: “We know about the problem. 

The contact surface on the thighs is simply too 

narrow for the intensive airtime. We are currently 

undertaking discussions with manufacturer Intamin. 

‘Skyrush’ is a wonderful attraction and maybe 

even one step further as far as intensity goes 

than other constructions before it.” Why nobody 

involved recognised this actually simple to rectify 

design mistake during the preliminary stages of 

the draft or test phase, remains unexplained. 

So that’s our summary: “Skyrush” is one of the 

most intensive coasters on the planet! The most 

intensive because “Skyrush” retains its relentless 

power right to the end and (up until now) is not 

braked down. Whether or not the attraction maybe 

shoots over the target a little will show with time. 

One thing that “Skyrush” definitely is already: 

legendary!

At long last Holiday 

Park has also received an 

adequate entrance 

More than 40 years after the 

founding of the park, Holiday 

Park, now called Holiday Park 

Plopsa, has at long last received 

an entrance area that no longer 

looks as though it’s just a secondary 

entrance: from now on 

visitors enter direct from the parking 

area through a generous 

and invitingly designed entrance 

area – fitting to a “grownup” theme 

park.

Majaland 

Asufficient number of cash registers keep waiting 

times on peak visit days tolerable, and an 

information office, and long overdue toilet facilities 

can be visited from outside. Visitors with a long trip 

behind them are particularly happy about this. The 

relocation of the entrance area from the Holiday- 

Park-Straße in the direction of the parking area was 

the perfect step, and the design of the entrance has 

been lovingly created. Directly behind this area, 

visitors walk through a small roofed over area with 

a very nice souvenir shop, and a small Holiday- 

Park-museum – the old park mascot Holly and a 

gondola no longer in use from the major track ride 

“Tour de Fleur”, are also on display. 

The New Entrance Area 

The entrance promenade is covered over by a 

colourful glass dome, and leads directly to the new 

central area of the park. Dancing fountains that 

opened last year are located here; however the 

section now has a completely new appearance with 

new laneways to the left and right. This area offers, 

among others, a small snack booth, games booths, 

and another new toilet facility. The “Anubis Free Fall 

Tower” and the old show building, where the “Sapa 

Inka Show” is now presented with crocodiles, constrictors 

and tarantulas, are located on the opposite 

side. As is the case of the entrance area, the design 

of the new houses is in a typical and magical 

timber framed style from Plopsa. The signature of 

designer Piet De Koninck can definitely be recognised 

here, and corresponds to the other Plopsa- 

Parks in Belgium and the Netherlands. 

74

The reconstruction work for the entrance area is 

huge: the water ride that was redesigned to “Tabalugas 

Abenteuer” last year is located in a cul-desac, 

the carousel ride “Balloon Race” has been 

placed directly opposite the “Bounty Tower”, and 

the lovely old “City-Jet” has had to leave the park, 

probably due to age. 

The New Majaland 

The complete area between the “Platz der Fontänen” 

(“Square of Fountains”) and the old entrance 

and exit has been rebuilt. The new “Majaland” has 

come into being here on 15,000 square metres – a 

perfect theme area for smaller guests, but due to 

the lovely and picturesque design, it is also interesting 

for all other visitors. “Majaland” was completed 

in only five months of building time, and the 

new entrance area for around nine million Euro, and 

with that is one of the largest individual investments The central square at Holiday 

Park Plopsa now entices 

at Holiday Park. 

Biene Maja (Maya the Bee), many of her friends and lingering due to the thematic 

many other personalities, among others Steve Van rebuilding 

den Kerkhof (CEO of the Plopsa Group), Bernd 

Beitz (Park Manager of Holiday Park), Heinz-Joachim 

Klein (Architect) and Piet De Koninck (Creative 

Director from Studio 100), were present at the 

opening on the 26 th of June. The last mentioned 

showed his abilities live, and took hand to paper 

and pencil during the press conference to present 

in 15 minutes a very impressive design of the new 

restaurant in the form of a tree trunk, which is planned 

for the 2013 season. Visitors will feel like a bee 

there due to the oversized blossoms.

The Newly Designed Attractions 

The new “Majaland” contains eleven attractions 

based on the famous Maya the Bee and her friends. 

The design here was also done lovingly, and 

already “Majaland” is the new magnet for the public 

at Holiday Park: a snack booth in the form of a 

huge stone, many metre-high coloured flowers, 

some even illuminated from inside, and a small 

watercourse with lake, decorate Majaland. Most of 

the ride constructions are ideal for both children 

and adults, and kiddies with a height from 0.85 

metres can ride almost all attractions, when accompanied 

by an adult. All the attractions together, 

offer riding fun for 2,500 guests per hour. 

“Majas Blütensplash”, a “Flying Fish” from manufacturer 

Zierer has been effectively placed over the 

water. The gondolas of the attraction have been 

designed in the form of huge calyx, and can be 

steered interactively by the ride guests. The object 

is to steer the blossom gondolas during a speedy 

scenic flight, accompanied by a song. When passengers 

hear the words “Majas fliegen hoch” (Mayas 

fly high) then all blossoms on which a Maya is sitting 

fly upwards. When the words “alle Willis fliegen 

hoch und alle Majas fliegen tief” (all Willies fly high 

and Mayas fly low), then all blossoms on which a 

Willi is sitting fly upwards. A huge amount of fun for 

riding guests of all ages, but only those who have 

listened and reacted well remain dry. 

The “Verrückte Baum” causes butterflies in the 

stomach a little when it swings wildly up and down 

and simultaneously rotates on its own axis. The 

theming of a tree trunk was successful once again 

in this case, and the Zierer “Kontiki XL” has been 

well integrated into the surroundings. 

In the case of the “Schmetterlingsflug”, the colourful 

gondolas in the design of huge butterflies can 

be steered into the heights by pedals. A lovely 

theme has been chosen here, which happily deviates 

from designs at other Plopsa-Parks. Manufacturer 

of the “Magic Bikes” is Zamperla. 

“Flip, dem Grashüpfer” offers a hopping trip to 

riders on its back, travelling through Maya’s flower 

wonder world. The design of the ride that opened 

last year has been extended again this year, and 

the station has been placed into a hollow tree trunk. 

The attraction from Metallbau Emmeln also provides 

ride fun for all generations. 

The twelve metre high kiddie Freefall Tower “Majas 

Blumenturm” from Zierer was already erected last 

year, and is now receiving an appealing theme. 

76

PORTRAIT 

“Die Frösche” (“The Frogs”), which also opened 

last year, is now perfectly integrated into the new 

theme area. The manufacturer of the “Jump 

Around” is Zamperla. 

The following and already existing Zamperla ride 

attractions that have been redesigned, have been 

reserved for children with a height of up to 1.39 

metres: “Minicars” (an Autoskooter suitable for 

children), the “Bienchenwirbel” (a “Mini Tea Cup”), 

“Laras Marienkäferflug” (earlier “Dolly’s Hummeltanz”) 

and “Willis Floßfahrt” (known earlier as “Rob’s 

Piratenfloßfahrt”). 

Further along there is also a new water playground 

that delights children of all ages, especially on hot 

days: litres of water spray out of the holes of a 

bucket on a rotating basis. 

The already available and in part spectacular attractions 

have been perfectly complimented with 

the rebuilding from an amusement park to a theme 

park, and that’s exactly what has been missing at 

Holiday Park in the past years. It’s not enough these 

days to simply place attractions in a park. With Italian manufacturer Zamperla could also erect a new ride at Holiday Park Plopsa 

Maya the Bee and her friends, the young Viking Wiki again this year: “Magic Bike” 

as well as Tabaluga moving in, and the design elements 

of the Plopsa Group, a promising future has 

begun for Holiday Park Plopsa. ■ The “Kontiki XL” from Zierer is in a wonderful wooden tree theme, similar to 

other attractions of this type at the Plopsa Parks

On the anniversary of being 

Chairman of the Board of the International 

Association of Amusement 

Parks and Attractions for 

one year, Roland Mack, Managing 

Partner of Europa-Park, conducted 

the annual Board of 

Directors Meeting from the 18 th to 

21 st of June 2012.

A spontaneous small 

reception was given at the “Bell 

Rock” construction site / Photos 

right: Dinner Show in the 

“Teatro dell’ Arte” 

IAAPA Meeting 

Not only all IAAPA board members travelled to 

the event, but also participants of the European 

Committee, who met up on the first day at 

Europa-Park. 

Under the chairmanship of Bart de Boer (Efteling), 

the European Advisory Committee, the Education 

Committee, the Manufacturers and Supplier Committee 

and the Safety Committee conferred in 

particular about the execution of the upcoming 

Euro Attractions Show (EAS) in Berlin from 9 th to 11 th 

October 2012. Other important themes were the 

global uniform safety aspects, proceeding against 

patent violations, political lobbying, and harmonisation 

in production and operation of amusement 

facilities. 

Further along, Paris was decided on as the location 

for EAS 2013, whilst Europe’s most important 

branch exhibition 2014 may well take place in 

Amsterdam once again. In the evening a wet and 

happy party was on the programme, taking place 

between the coasters “Wodan” and “blue fire”. 

On the second and third days, the 27 IAAPA board 

members retreated in order to work out a 3-yearplan 

(2013 to 2015), to coordinate exhibitions and 

events worldwide, to champion global safety standards, 

and to upgrade the IAAPA-Foundation. 

However the emphasis at the annual conference of 

the worldwide association was the ever increasing 

product piracy and the basically connected problems. 

Roland Mack: “Safety for us is paramount, 

and it’s important to unitize international safety 

standards. When families visit a theme park, they 

wish to experience an eventful and safe day. And 

it makes no difference if they are in Europe, Asia, 

the USA, or South America. Regardless of where it 

takes place in the world, an incident affects the 

entire amusement industry.” In Europe the safety 

standards are already very high; however in other 

countries there is a lot of catching up to do. We 

can’t afford to have construction with different 

standards worldwide, explained Roland Mack further 

along. 

78

The IAAPA registered a billion park visitors worldwide 

in the past year, and a branch turnover of 23 

billion Euro. Alone in China there were 70 million 

park visitors, and calculations show that the total 

Chinese visitor number could well climb to nearly 

220 million in ten years, and in 20 years it could 

even go as high as 400 million. IAAPA also anticipates 

a growth course in southern and Eastern Europe. 

And now the shady side: IAAPA acknowledges 

that in light of the worldwide boom in the 

amusement industry, ideas and ride constructions 

are being faked more and more. Roland Mack: “We 

are being confronted with a development that has 

long ago taken place in the automobile industry or 

mechanical engineering.” During the conference 

at Europa-Park, IAAPA affirmed that it will intensify 

its fight against patent rights infringement with an 

“intervening troop” of market observers and detectives, 

who detect and prevent illegal products 

before they come on the market. The safety of a 

construction has priority, and for this reason there 

should not be any cheap copies available, which 

in some cases appear as the original, down to the 

smallest detail, but every now and again are 

produced from substandard materials and stem 

from unskilled production. For a long time, the 

worldwide umbrella organization IAAPA had not 

acknowledged, or alternatively had closed its eyes 

to this development, with its safety relevant ramifications. 

It was first Chip Cleary, who has been 

President and CEO of IAAPA since April 2011, who 

actually got the ball rolling. Despite the decisive 

instinct towards patent protection, Cleary left the 

association after only one and half years in order 

to work once again in an amusement facility: “I look 

forward to planning and developing attractions 

and entertaining guests once again, so I am excited 

about returning to the theme park industry.” On 

the 1st January 2013, Paul Noland will take over as 

successor. He operates a consultancy firm, and 

was a board member of Walt Disney Parks and 

Resorts from 1995 to 2011.

EUROPA-PARK 

On the 12 th of July, the fifth parkowned 

theme hotel by the name 

“Bell Rock” was opened. 

Text: Frank Lanfer 

Photos: Frank Lanfer, Europa-Park 

The 4-Star-Hotel comprises of a five-storey 

central construction and 5 four-storey adjacent 

buildings that are separated only optically by the 

way. 

It has cost 40 million Euro and was erected on a 

40,000 m 2 ground area between Europa-Park and 

the small town of Rust, which promises interesting 

connections: whilst the back “garden” of the hotel 

is self-contained and is characterised with clear 

focus on the park area (apart from the public paths 

that run in-between), the entrance side is open to a 

public street, and with that is a part of the municipality. 

The theme hotel therefore is a point of intersection 

between the themed and real world. 

The landmark of the “Bell Rock” is a 35 metre high 

lighthouse, which contains an exclusive restaurant 

and six suites, among them a 360° panorama suite 

over two levels (for 975 Euro a night). A further 29 

Hard to believe but this is 

really “only” a standard room – 

when at the same time on a 

high price level 

Hotel Manager Thomas 

Mack enjoys the view from the 

exclusive panorama suite 

double-storey suites are ready and waiting in the 

main building. However there’s also nightly adventure 

waiting in the other 190, 35 m 2 standard rooms, 

because in addition to a double bed there are also 

2 wooden boats designed as kiddie beds. Adults 

have also been catered to with a shower that 

promises a view due to a large vision panel to the 

parent bedroom – only joint showering offers more 

fun – which thanks to the size generosity need not 

be ruled out. Other features of the hotel are themed 

restaurants, a kiddie playground corner, an inside 

and large outside pool, and a huge fitness and

WEYMOUTH SEA LIFE TOWER 

Text: Frank Lanfer

On the 22 nd of June and with that only a few 

weeks before the start of the Olympic Games in 

London, a new 53 metre high viewing tower from 

Huss Park Attractions went into operation in 

Weymouth in the County of 

Dorset. 

The “Sky Tower” was erected in 

less than 9 months on a cement 

platform that protrudes over the 

ocean on Festival Pier. The attraction 

has a five-piece shaft 

that was completed at the Huss 

factories in Hungary. The new 

type of gondola with a diameter 

of 12 metres was developed in 

Germany, and built in France. It 

accommodates 69 passengers 

and one wheelchair user. The 

Olympic sailing competition will 

take place here on the south coast of England, 

which promises lucrative takings for the operator. 

However, the viewing tower will be used as a permanent 

attraction even after the Olympics. The operator 

is Sea Life Aquarium from nearby, a company 

of the Merlin Entertainments Group. A 15 minute 

ride costs 8.10 Pounds (from 3 years of age). ■

FUN SPOT AMERICA 

Fun Spot is a place that is ignored 

in Orlando – at least by European 

tourists. Understandably, if 

one is having a holiday there for 

7, 8, or 11days, as visitors want 

to see the world famous parks, 

and when coincidentally there’s 

a half a day left over, then one 

chooses something from the list 

of “B-experience worlds” at the 

most. This is different in the case 

of the Americans; they do visit 

Fun Spot Action Park, which by 

the way is located very near to 

the Universal property, and indulge 

themselves in a few rides 

on the Multilevel Go-Kart Racing 

Tracks.

The founder and owner, John Arie Sr., looks after 

his, as generally accepted, little park very 

intensively. He’s somebody who reinvests his 

earnings constantly in the extension of his park. 

After the tourism hollow in 2002 to 2005, the situation 

began to improve in the past years in Orlando, 

and Arie built another park quite quickly in the neighbouring 

city of Kissimmee, not far from Disney’s 

Celebration, and with that is only 15 minutes by car 

to the main entrance of Walt Disney World. Fun Spot 

U.S.A. is the name of Arie’s second park, which has 

more thrill rides than the parent park. 

Over the next few years it appears to be all about 

expansion. If everything that was announced in the 

past months actually is realized, 

then John Arie will gradually land 

in the A-group of Orlando attractions. 

The announced investment 

of 20 million dollars for Fun 

Spot Action Park that will be 

called Fun Spot America in the 

future, will triple the active park 

grounds of 20,000 m 2 to 60,000 

m 2 . 

Phase I should be completed by 

February 2013, containing a 

“Screamin’ Swing” from S&S (a 

used ride from Wild Adventures, 

Georgia) and a double-storey 

carousel from Chance Morgan 

(from the earlier Cypress Gardens). The highlight 

however will be a wooden roller coaster from Great 

Coasters International. It will by the way be the only 

one in Orlando and the third in Florida – apart from 

the fact that actually it will be a wooden-steel 

Hybrid. 

Phase II is planned to be completed three months 

later. In addition to the 76 metre high “SkyCoaster” 

(used from MGM Grand Adventure), a further 

novelty will be a “SplashTacular” water park that is 

in the planning. One apparently sees potential here 

after the end of Water Mania, a competitor that has 

left the field, and although Wet n’ Wild (Universal) 

is very popular, it’s not nearby. The specialist 

SplashTacular, Inc. will be installing four slide 

complexes: an eight-lane Splash Rally”, a “Double 

BowlsEye” with two pipes, which flow into a common 

basin, a “360Rush” with a vertical drop, and 

“Twisted Racers”. There will also be a Lazy River 

with a “Spin-out Lagoon”. 

Phase III is planned to be realized by May 2014, 

and this will see the installation of a 67 metre high 

“Windseeker” from Mondial, so that Fun Spot Action 

Park will be seen from far away, bringing attention 

to itself. Another highlight will be a family SLC from 

Vekoma that is in planning, which from its layout will 

be similar to the “Kvasten” at Sweden’s Gröna 

Lund.

The innovative Double-Launch-Coaster 

“Batman & Robin: The Chiller” at Six 

Flags Great Adventure near New York 

was only operated for ten years. 

Already in 2007 the massive roller coaster 

from US-manufacturer Premier Rides 

was closed, dismantled, and offered for 

sale. And now it has found a new operator: 

Beto Carrero World, located in the 

Brazilian city of Penha. Latin America’s 

largest theme park also announced an 

alliance with Universal Studios and 

BOOK FROM JOEL MANBY 

Text: 

Sacha Szabo 

“To verify is good, but trust is better!” Did you 

notice anything? The usual order of the 

sentence is topsy-turvy. And it’s exactly this 

principle, namely to change conventional management 

methods that concerns Joel Manby, 

Chairman of Herschend Family Entertainment 

(HFE). 

HFE is one of the largest operators of theme parks. 

In addition to Dollywood, which was built in cooperation 

with country singer Dolly Parton, HFE 

operates 16 other parks. 

The philosophy that has made this company so 

successful can be summed up according to Joel 

Manby, by seven principles: patience, friendliness, 

trust, selflessness, genuineness, leniency, 

and dedication, all of which most probably can be 

best described by the words “to put heart and soul 

into it.” 

These basic principles lead to an atmosphere in a 

company that motivate the individual to identify 

himself with the company, and with that be more 

committed. The book works with many examples 

that demonstrate the advantages of this type of 

approach. Naturally we all know that recognition 

of our achievements motivates, and unjustified 

criticism has the opposite effect. 

Manby shows that devotion (“love”), an appreciative 

handling of personnel, can induce a competitive 

advantage. He has proven this with a questionnaire 

that Google has used with its staff in order 

to establish the qualities of a good superior. 

This led to the result that professional competence 

was last on the list, but an open ear and transfer 

of competence were considered the main issue. 

And it’s exactly this that the author summarises in 

principle, listed at the end of each chapter. In relation 

to “trust” he demands “have trust in others”, 

“listening is a sign of trust”, “be responsible, distribute 

permission, sharing and informing are possibilities 

of involving those with a decision to 

make.” 

This leads to a completely different form of management. 

Suddenly the decisions will be met by 

personnel involved, and management follows. At 

the moment this theme known as “swarm intelligence”, 

is under heavy discussion in Germany. 

We can see in only these few extracts how a company 

can have satisfied employees and with that 

satisfied customers. And particularly for amusement 

facilities where personnel 

work directly with the customer, 

it’s an important and necessary 

aspect. 

Although the book is written in 

English, it’s light reading and 

can be gotten through quickly. 

There are hardly any technical 

terms and it has the anecdotal 

style of Anglo-Saxon books. 

Dolly Parton summarises better 

as we, and recommends the 

book with the following words: 

“If this book doesn’t help and inspire 

you to be a great leader, I 

don’t know what could.” 

The book “Love Works. Seven 

timeless principles for effective 

leaders” from Joel Manby is 

available from:
