Honoured in Düsseldorf:
Manfred Howey
from Bremen
Since 1999, the city of Düsseldorf and the St.
Sebastianus Schützenverein 1316 eV have
honoured showmen for the merits of their service
to the “largest fair on the Rhine”. This
year, they selected the Bremen showman
Manfred Howey, owner of the Seesturmbahn
“Happy Sailor”.
At the ceremony in the Düsseldorf city hall,
where the prize winner was presented with a
porcelain "Jan Wellem”, Schützen Chairman
Lothar Inden and Lord Mayor Dirk Elbers pointed
out that Howey’s entrepreneurial commitment
to the "Largest Fair on the Rhine” has helped to
make it one of the best-visited and most esteemed
events in Germany. 69-year-old Manfred
Howey was present in Düsseldorf for the 25 th time
this year. "I am very proud that I can receive this
award. Being a showman is a hard job, and it is
nice to see that this is acknowledged,” said
Howey, who particularly treasures the visitors to
the Rhine Fair. "The Düsseldorf residents are true
fair enthusiasts coming to the fairground even in
poor weather.” As thanks for his award Manfred
Howey handed over a cheque in the sum of EUR
500 to the Lord Mayor as a donation to the "Regenbogenland”
children’s hospice. ■
GEISTERSTADT
Many new features
at Fellerhoff’s “Geisterstadt”

At the largest fair on the Rhine in Düsseldorf,
the “Geisterstadt” from the
Fellerhoff family was presented with
new decoration details.
The name sign, built by the Reckmann
firm from Oberhausen, was mounted for
the first time. The total length of the "Geisterstadt”
name sign is 10.20 metres
and is 1.50 metres in height. More than
4,000 LEDs with colour changing function
were installed, providing for lots of
colour combinations and variations at
running speed. Other novelties: a
wicked witch is now cooking up her
brew on top of the paybox, and large
chandeliers with skulls are swinging on
the balcony. The skeletons previously installed
there are currently being rebuilt
and, sometime soon, will give visitors to the
"Geisterstadt” creep experiences at a new
location. All new figures were once again
purchased in the USA.

LIBERTY WHEEL
Text & Photos:
Kai Morawetz
The “Liberty Wheel” Ferris Wheel from Robert
Gormanns, which has been the landmark of the
Volksfest events and the Christmas Market in the
Hanseatic city on the Baltic Sea since 1995, was
presented sporting a new paintwork at this year’s
Pfingstmarkt in Rostock.
COMING SOON...
www.Candy-Schokofr uechte.de
The lattice masts of the supports were already powder
coated in steel blue last year. The large liberty figure,
giving the Ferris Wheel its name, was also newly
painted. Moreover, the spokes and the rotating rim
were newly painted in white. The gondolas however
received the most striking paintwork, with their outer
sides being painted in a gleaming metallic colour,
and the colours of the seats also being freshened
up. At the same time, the gondola bearings were
replaced. According to Robert Gormanns, further
changes are currently being planned for the
coming year. The Ferris Wheel built by Mondial
for the Dutch showman company van der Honing
in 1990, is some 38 metres high and has 26 rotating
gondolas. Later on, it was taken over by showman
J. Rooze from Apeldoorn, who then traded
it in at the steel construction company Nauta-
Bussink for another Ferris Wheel. In 1994, the
Gormanns family then purchased the construction
from Nauta-Bussink. Further venues of the
"Liberty Wheel” from the Robert Gormanns family
will be the so-called Baltic-Tour in Mecklenburg-Western
Pomerania and the Rostock Christmas
Market, where it will once again be presented
as the "Christmas Wheel” at the end of the season.
The showman company Gormanns & Söhne
from Düren and Rostock have been touring Ferris
Wheels since 1951, and have also operated a 12-metre
high nostalgic Ferris Wheel with 10 gondolas. In
1970, they took over a 23-metre high construction
built by the de Boer firm.
The Gormanns family has been touring the "Liberty
Wheel” since 1994. One year later, Gormanns purchased
a "Europa-Rad”, built by the Nauta-Bussink
firm for the Arnoux firm. This Ferris Wheel was sold to
Denmark in 1999 and has been operated as the
"Hanse Rad” by the showman company Geisler & Urbigkeit
from Rostock since 2008.

SUMMER IN LONDON
The “Star Flyer”
prototype from the Vienna
Prater is an attraction in the
centre of London this summer
Spinning Mouse
“Cyclone” and “Star Flyer”
Text & Photos: Owen Ralph
Whether they were lucky enough or not to have a ticket
to the Olympics, there were plenty of special attractions
for visitors to London to enjoy this summer.
Since the end of July, the world’s first "Star Flyer” has been
enjoying a new home overlooking the River Thames and
the "London Eye” at Jubilee Gardens. The 67-metre-tall
Funtime attraction, which operated at the Prater in Vienna
from 2003 to 2010, has been acquired by the Mellors
Group, which is presenting it as part of the Priceless London
Wonderground until 30th September. In preparation
for its new life as a semi-portable attraction, a water ballast
has been added to the ride’s base frame, whilst its capacity
has been increased from 18 (originally 12) to 24, using
12 twin seats.
A new look centrepiece replaces the onion-shaped
‘crown’ that formerly graced the top of the tower structure
at the Prater. Now billed as the UK’s tallest mobile fairground
ride, the "Star Flyer” appears alongside Mellors’
Reverchon spinning coaster, which has been renamed the
"Cyclone” in keeping with the vintage carnival flavour of
the Wonderground event. Visitors to this themed "playground
of wonders and curiosities” can also enjoy a Walkthrough
maze and shows, including "Cantina and The Mutant
Barnyard Sideshow Wonderland”, in addition to a bar
and an open air seating area. A ride on the "Star Flyer”
costs £7 (EUR 8.95) – a steal compared to the £18.90 walkup
fare for the "London Eye”! A similar event in 2011 marking
the 60 th anniversary of the Festival of Britain featured a
smaller "Star Flyer” alongside fairground equipment from
the local Cogger family, whose Gallopers are currently
open close by. In each case the "Star Flyer” was intended
as a reminder of the Skylon beacon that stood on London’s
South Bank as part of the original festival in 1951 (hence
the new centrepiece) – a fact that may have been lost on
many 21 st century fun seekers! In the run-up to the games,
the Olympic Torch even took a "flight” on "London Eye” as
part of its 70-day tour around the UK. Yet the world-famous
Ferris Wheel that debuted for the millennium celebrations
back in 1999/2000 was not the only high altitude observation
experience on offer in the British capital during the
Olympics.
Visitors could also take a trip to the top of the "ArcelorMittal”
Orbit, the red steel "sculpture” overlooking the Olympic
Stadium, enjoy a cable car trip over the Thames on the
new Emirates Air Line, or even brave a guided walk over
the top of the O2 dome (former Millennium Dome). ■

SEESTURMBAHN
Under new management:
the “Seesturmbahn”.
Below: Dietrich Glocke
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
Since the beginning of this season, the
“Seesturmbahn” has been under new management.
The attraction, which was last toured by the
Sterzenbach-Schmidt firm from Bonn, was taken
over by Birgit and Dietrich Glocke from Herne.
Strangely enough, the couple married for 33 years
are relative "private people”, and had previously been
operating a taxi firm for 40 years. Instead of going into
retirement, they fulfilled a long-standing dream for
themselves – to tour a fairground ride. After the
purchase and the takeover of the ride, the hydraulics
and bearings were renewed, the electronic system
was repaired and laser lights were mounted in the
roof frame. This done, they travelled to their first venue,
the Frühjahrsmess in Gießen – naturally suspiciously
eyed by the other showmen. Operating the
ride went smoothly though in Gießen, just as was the
case at the following venues in Castrop-Rauxel, Ahlen,
Minden, Speyer and Offenbach. The "Seesturmbahn”
is to be presented at about 12 to 15 events a
year; in autumn it will appear at, among other venues,
Butzbach and Cologne.
■
VOGELSCHIESSEN DRESDEN
A missing gem of fairground research was rediscovered
and newly published as a reprint: “Das
Dresdner Vogelschießen” from 1861.
About 150 years ago, Herbert König dedicated himself
to the Dresdner Vogelwiese, and presented the
first overall view of a fairground. Many of the former attractions
have been immortalized in lovingly drawn
sketches with humorous descriptions, providing an impression
of the glamour and the misery of a fairground
before large attractions appeared. A series of show
booths, such as menageries or Völkerschauen, or
'freak shows' (among others "Wild People”), but also
the "Schießzelt” (shooting tent), and the "Kaffee-Zelt”
(coffee tent) were appealingly described. Naturally,
the man making the announcements, called the "fairground
crier” at that time, was certainly not absent either.
The book itself is a reprint; in other words, it is
printed in Gothic type, making it somewhat difficult to
read. At EUR48.90 it is not exactly inexpensive; nevertheless,
it is highly recommendable for all fairground
enthusiasts. Info: Herbert König, Das Dresdner Vogelschießen,

Novelty 2013: Looping-
Coaster “Cobra” from Agtsch
The coaster with a
triangular ground area
COBRA
Text: Michael Petersen
Photos: Archive Agtsch, Norman Vogt
Next season will see a new arrival at the German
fairgrounds. Punctually to the beginning
of the season 2013, Angelo Agtsch and his
partner Miriam Blume will present their
“Cobra”, a themed compact looping coaster.
So far, the coaster built by Technical Park and
technically conceived by Werner Stengel has
been under the ownership of the Bauer family
from Switzerland, where it will be operated under
the name of "Xenox” up until the end of this
season. The coaster is unique among its kind,
offering a lot of thrill and ride fun on a ground
area of only 380 m 2 including, among other
sensations, a 13-metre drop into a looping and
a downward spiral with high-speed turns – and
all this with a front length of only 31 metres and
a depth of 21 metres. Thanks to these compact
measurements, the coaster is perfectly
suited for city centre fairs with limited space.
Another interesting feature is the triangular shape
of the coaster. Two coaster trains accommodating
10 passengers each can travel along the tracks at
the same time. The coaster is only three years old
and is equipped with the latest triple safety restraints.
The construction is appropriate for all age
groups; children are allowed to ride with a height
restriction of a minimum of 1.30 metres.
According to Angelo Agtsch, the coaster is to do
a "warm up” (still under the name of "Xenox”) at
two German venues – Detmold and Lemgo – immediately
after the takeover this autumn, before
being completely rebuilt and newly painted
during the winter months by the MP Design
firm. A draft has already been drawn.
The new name of the coaster is short,
catchy and easy to remember: "Cobra”.
Plans provide for, among other features,
an elaborately moulded plastic decoration
and the installation of many water and fog
effects, as well as clever lighting effects.
Relocating the caster requires only four
transport vehicles, one of which is incorporated
into the construction. The
planned "Cobra” theme is a deliberate allusion
to the "Amazonas” Walkthrough
construction that Angelo Agtsch and his
partner will continue to tour.

construction is still on tour in

ATMOSFEAR
ride packed on one trailer was soon dashed
when local police apprehended it for being what
they claimed too long and too heavy for Italian
roads. Two-and-a-half weeks later, with the help
of a specialist logistics firm and a sympathetic
judge, Stanley and his team were finally on their
way. The delay caused them to miss their first
two engagements, including a planned appearance
in France en-route to the UK. A challenging
first month was rewarded with good business
at the Download Rock Festival in June, and even
at the mud-soaked Newcastle Town Moor Fair
the ride held its own, its owner expressing satisfaction
at both its technical performance and
earning potential. ‘High-energy’ decoration, LED
illumination, a Disco Smash sound system and
custom-designed handrails/queuing area are
among the features that give "AtmosFear” atmosphere.
Pictured here within just a few days
of summer solstice, we were unable to judge the
ride’s lighting to full effect, but we are told it looks
particularly well after sundown.
Due to their activity with bungee and simulator
attractions (Stanley Jnr sold a simulator to
Alexander Zinnecker in 2010), the Reeves family
has built up a varied touring schedule, and
the new attraction is expected to appear at various
music festivals, air shows and other events
in addition to its fairground commitments over
the coming months.

Munich Oktoberfest

Not at all the exotically-billed “Olde Worlde Wiesn”
(Oide Wiesn), not a single new showman attraction,
just a decidedly small “Wiesn”: At the Wiesn 2012
(22 nd September to 7 th October) visitors will have
to settle for far less than they would have expected!
Dieter Reiter will see things differently. Earlier this
year, the economics consultant has also become
the official head of the Wiesn. "suit instead of dirndl”
was the Süddeutsche Zeitung's appropriate comment
on the August 1 st changeover at the frontline of the
most famous Volksfest in the world. As regards appearance
and charisma, the 54-year-old SPD politician
has certainly got what it takes to compare with his highly
popular and successful predecessor Gabriele Weishäupl.
The article in the SZ went on: "The largest novelty
this year is the image of the Wiesn”. They had a
point there. Not a single new top ride or spectacular
attraction will hit the headlines as a result of the appointment
of the Oktoberfest’s new organiser. All this
publicity comes in handy though for Dieter Reiter;
after all, the election campaign for the post of the Lord
Mayor, from which popular Christian Ude will resign in
2014, has already begun. And what could be a better
boost for the popularity of a candidate than the top
position of an event which has been experienced as
Munich’s "fifth season” for centuries? Reiter succeeded
in considerably increasing his popularity two years
ago, when he vehemently and successfully stepped in
to voice support for the continuation of the "historic
Wiesn” project (originally meant to be a one-time event

Ferris Wheel and
“Rocket”: The initially muchcriticized
placement of the two
constructions close to each
other last year turned out to be
a real eye catcher
on the occasion of the 200 th Oktoberfest anniversary),
which was very well received by the public. The "Oide
Wiesn” is more or less his "baby”; he even came up
with the name for it. This year, Reiter suffered a defeat
in his efforts to bring the "Oide Wiesn” to fruition
though. Despite tough negotiations, he did not succeed
in reserving a little space for a couple of nostalgic
rides and a cosy traditional tent in the area where
the Agricultural Festival will be held this year. So, no
sooner has the "Oide Wiesn” been founded, than it already
has to suffer a setback.
Wiesn and Politics: The predominant issues at this
year’s Oktoberfest will be ecology, education and social
topics (children and families), and security.
With the action "Wiesn-Klimaherzen”, for example, the
"Wiesn-Klimafreunde” wants to contribute to reducing
CO2 emissions, and all showman attractions will be
supplied with M-Ökostrom "green electricity” for the
first time. The new action "Oktoberfest macht Schule”
consisting of a Wiesn explorer game at the Zentrum
Familien-Platzl, a Wiesn exploratory expedition for
children and adolescents interested in technology and
history, and free guided tours for school classes.
Moreover, visitors will be no longer be allowed to bring
glass bottles to the event, and impatient Wiesn party
freaks will be admitted to the fairground only from 8
a.m.
“Novelties”
According to the Oktoberfest-live.de website (7 th
May), "it will be unusually difficult to reach the Oktoberfest
this year. At the southern end of the Theresienwiese-fairground
the Central Agricultural Festival will
occupy a lot of space: according to rumours 843 from
1,383 applicants – 50 more than in 2011 – are to be rejected;
‘many regular participants in particular will
have to be rejected,’ writes Reiter. It will also be bitter
for the ride attractions – novelties had been offered
only by non-local showmen, who are apparently not to
be approved. Reiter summarises: ‘For the first time in
years, not a single novelty can be presented at the
Oktoberfest.’
Apart from the quite unusual practice of going public
with messages like this even before the applicants
have received an official approval or rejection from the
organiser, the passage about the "non-locals” also
raised more than just a few eyebrows. After all, nonlocal
showmen – based in Munich – have always contributed
to the attractiveness of the Wiesn. Only last
year, a large ride coming from Switzerland had numbered
among the new top attractions. The reason given
is slightly flawed though; it is much more the case
that the acceptance point system under regular controversial
discussion has resulted in a total absence of
novelties this year. Even though the "kleine Wiesn” will
offer less space for approvals, there have nonetheless
been "non-local showmen based in Munich” who have
20

applied for approval to the Wiesn 2012 with a novelty.
Be that as it may, for those loving the Wiesn not only
for the excessive beer swigging, but also for a fantastic
offer of showman attractions, it is a bitter pill to see
new Walkthrough constructions or rides of the "Loop
Fighter” or "Smashing Jump” types bringing new momentum
to many other German Volksfest events 2012,
while there is a standstill in Munich.
Nevertheless, the Munich city authorities are heralding
three novelties in the fairground section: Edmund Eckl,

modifications (living ghosts, peeing skeleton in the

1962 – 50 YEARS AGO
1962 was a year of joy for all fans of large rides, as the novelty
list included the "Sprungschanze” from Heinz Distel, the
original version of the "Caravelle” (Judenhofer), and the "Paratrooper”
from Loeb was the first "Twister”-like Wiesn attraction to
take its passengers up to the skies in parachute gondolas. Moreover,
the "Sputnik” successor "Weltraumflug” (Kleiner) was
approved for the first time, and with Biermann’s "Calypso” there
was a structurally identical alternative to the attraction from Distel
of the same name.

The Familienplatzl around Radlinger’s beer garden will be enhanced
by the DECAP orchestrion, and Distel’s "Lach-Freu-Haus” will feature
a number of effective new gimmicks. These are all worthy and pretty
small details, perfectly presented in the press information: "With his
‘Shocker’ Ghost Ride, Edmund Eckl invites visitors to an apartment showing
of a special kind. Riding through elaborately and realistically designed

In addition to the seven horror themed cabinets, a ‘Geisterfahrer’ (the German
colloquialism referring to a person who drives the wrong way down
the autobahn), races towards the brave passengers from the wrong direction
in a curious automobile. Will there be a crash? Edmund Eckl, who redesigned
the Shocker in his own workshop according to his own ideas,
has also thought of the public though. Every five minutes, Wiesn visitors
who do not dare to step inside the high-tech ghost ride, can watch a
‘valentinesque’ live broadcast from inside the pitch-dark Shocker on a
screen.”

"The new attraction the Walkthrough construction ‘Lach+Freu-Haus’ from
Eugen and Christina Distel presents ‘Bavarian comedy’: Pretty Resi sitting
on the barn roof and funny Sepp standing on top of the 14-metre tall bell
tower have an amusing dialogue, with interjections from the singing and
speaking moose "Hubertus”. The taller than life-size figures were built by
the Hofmann firm in Bad Rodach. In the dialogues, written by Eugen Distel,
the voices of ‘Resi’ and ‘Sepp’ are those of Christina and Eugen Distel.
With the façade play at the Lach+Freu-Haus, the Wiesn has gained additional
free show fun. Another novelty is offered inside the Funhouse construction:
The ‘rolling barrels’ were equipped with efficient LED lights, providing
for amazing effects, when watched through the fun spectacles
handed out.”
Winners and Losers
Let’s take a brief look at the list of participating operators. Unfortunately,
there are always a number of losers on the "kleine Wiesn”. Therefore, it
was to be expected that attractions such as the "Mondlift”, "Rotor”, car artists,
or the large water ride had to take 'time out' according to a rotation
scheme. There will be only five instead of six dodgem tracks and no Looping-the-Loop
swing at all for the first time. "Monster”, "Alpenrausch”, and
"Silberturm” will not be presented, just as is the case with most of the attractions
from the "Oide Wiesn”. Only the chain ride and the multi-level carousel
will appear again, built up on the same sites they enjoyed in previous
years. A sad surprise is the absence of the "Fahrt zur Hölle” Ghost
Ride from the Dom-Jollberg family, which had been among the regular attractions
for decades, also on the "small Wiesn”. The familiar name of Haas
Indispensable: the “Flohzirkus”. A historic portrait of this
attraction will be published in the October issue of the Kirmes &
Park Revue

is also missing from the list, and neither the Walkthrough construction "Jumanji”
nor the Weißbier outlet have been approved, although both of them
did not have to take a break at the 2008 (small Wiesn).
Among the winners is the "Power Tower” from Schneider, which has now
also been approved to the smaller area (after breaks in 2004 and 2008).
Siegfried Edmund Kaiser will also be happy that his "Rio Rapidos”, which
fared quite well as last year’s Wiesn novelty, has been approved for its second
appearance despite the reduced Wiesn area. The approval of these
two attractions is undoubtedly an attempt to present a varied and balanced
selection of attractions. After all, important landmarks would be missing
from the ride contingent without a freefall tower and a water ride.
All in all, there will once again be a harmonious mixture of attractions at
this year's Wiesn – despite all the restrictions and reductions – and visit-
30

ors will be able to enjoy well looked after and perfectly operated fun attractions.
Some owners will perhaps not be entirely happy with their
allocated sites, such as those of the "Musikexpress”, "Parkour”, "Geisterschloss”
or "Cyber Space”, which had to move from the Schaustellerstraße
further inwards to the corresponding cross rows. But this is better than not
being approved at all; the small Wiesn requires compromises. The
Oktoberfest area will spread over 26 hectares this year, and the number
of approved attractions amounts to "only” 540. Next year, however, the
Wiesn organisers will be able to once again announce: "We present more”
– a sentence not only bringing back memories of Gaby Reutlinger’s fine
parade, but also calling attention to the final drawback of the Wiesn 2012,
where Gaby Reutlinger will not "present” anything at all; yes, the "Revue
der Illusionen” will be missing from the cornucopia of attractions for the
first time in many years. Those who want to enjoy merry illusions and escape
reality for a short time have to fall back on a 1-litre mug of beer, even
though it costs up to 9.50 Euro this year. As usual a list of operators presented
will be included in the preview section of this issue.

1992 – 20 YEARS AGO

Karl Ruisinger

The postcard photo opposite was taken exactly 20
years ago. The "Imperator” from Aigner celebrated
its première back then. In the media it was introduced
as a sensational novelty, along with Finnendahl’s "Fantastische
Reise”, which also appeared in Munich for
the first time in that very year. While the "Imperator” was
built up at the main junction of Matthias-Pschorr-Straße
and Schaustellerstraße, the "Fantastische Reise” was
placed at the top end of Straße 2. Both Wiesn debutantes
survived at the Oktoberfest only for a short
time; the "Imperator” for two years, the "Reise” already
disappearing the next year.
In 1992, there was however, another large novelty,
which was almost completely ignored by the local
media; the "Megadance” from Franz Goetzke. Initially,
this brand new Huss ride had not been approved, as
the decision makers had given priority to the other
round ride from the Goetzke family, the "Breakdance”,
which had already been presented in Munich since
1986. To give a last chance to the "Megadance”, which
had turned out to be somewhat of a financial
disappointment in the course of the season, Goetzke
withdrew the application for the "Breakdance” and it
was replaced by the "Megadance” at the very last minute
– as a novelty, so to speak, quasi "behind closed
doors”. It did not fair too well however. Despite having
been received quite well (at the corner of Straße 3), the
"Megadance” was given up at the end of the season
and never returned to the Wiesn again.

HAANER KIRMES
Text: Michael Petersen
Once again some 400,000 visitors from near and
far as well as the city's residents are expected
to celebrate this year’s Haan fair held from 22 nd
to 25 th September.
The fair will be opened on the Saturday at 2 p.m.
with a three cannon salute and the release of 300
colourful balloons into the air. As is now tradition,
this opening will be held on the platform of the
"Wonder Wheel” Ferris Wheel, where the town’s
Mayor, Knut vom Bovert, will heartily welcome the
showmen and a large number of guests. After the
tapping of the keg the rides will make their rounds
for four days, and the Haan town centre will be
transformed into a huge festival mile. Fairground
director Rainer Skroblies, who has successfully
laid out the event for some years now, was able to
contract spectacular novelties for Haan this time.
The most prominent highlight will be Küchenmeister’s
mega swing "Konga”, which will cause quite
a furore on the new market square. Apart from the
"Konga”, the "Wonder Wheel” will be the second
tall attraction built up on this square. The "Voodoo
Jumper” (Schäfer) round ride, engaged as another
novelty, will be built up without backflash above
the fountain. This will certainly be an unusual view,
even though attractions identical in construction
are almost always built up without backflash in the
middle of the fairgrounds in the neighbouring
countries. The "Shake” from Schäfer and the "Ad-
venture Live” Simulator will
round off the offer of attractions
on the market square.
The "Wellenflug” (Hanstein)
and Kutschenbauer's
"Magic House” will be
placed in the direction of
the Diekerstraße. On the
traditionally prominently occupied
Kaiserstraße in the
area of the town hall, visitors
will encounter the souvenir
stall along with the
"Phoenix” (Gusowski),
"Salto Mortale” (Gusowski/Langenberg),
the family
coaster "Willy der Wurm”
(Roos), the Musik Express
(Krause), and the "Wilde
Maus” (Barth), and in the direction
of Windhövel the "Diamond”
dodgem track
(Hartkopf/Osselmann) and
the Looping Swing (von
Olnhausen) will be built up
this year. With Markmann's
"Nessy” and the "Südseewellen”
(Barth), two further
attractive rides will be
presented directly at Windhövel.
For the younger visitors
there will be as many as
14 kiddie rides this year.
Moreover, a daily "Judy and
Punch Show” will be presented
several times a day.
Fairground Monday is a
special feature in Haan with
the residents celebrating on
their own. An 'early tipple'
event will be held, there will
be no school, and the shops
and most companies will be
closed. First, a church service
will be held at the "Diamond”
dodgem track, after
which the fair will be celebrated.
The Haan fair will be
closed by a colourful fireworks
display on the Tuesday
evening, the only one in
Germany with an encore – if
the applause is loud and
long enough! Opening
hours: Saturday from 2
p.m., Sunday from 11 a.m.,
Monday from 10 a.m., and
Tuesday from 2 p.m. ■

A LOOK FORWARD
VREDEN
Text:
Nils Benthien
The traditional fair in Vreden will
once again be held on the first
weekend in September (1 st to 3 rd ).
From the applications received,
fairground director Klaus Ahler
was able to contract some 120
showman enterprises this year, including
three novelties for Vreden,
that will be built up throughout the
town centre. On the market square,
the "Disco-Jet” from Heitmann and
a kiddie ride will once again make
their rounds, and Ruppert’s "Take
Off”, the "Phoenix” (Gusowski), a
kiddie swing boat, a Jet Ride, and
the figure-of-eight course kiddie
track ride "Highway Rallye” will be
available to the visitors. With the
"Voodoo Jumper” (Schäfer) and
Häsler’s "Psychodelic” Walkthrough
construction, the Hammans
car park will accommodate
two novelties at the same time. The
third novelty for Vreden, the "Salto
Mortale” from Langenberg & Gusowski,
will be placed on the
Viehmarkt – along with the "1001
Nacht” (Hartmann), "Looping the
Loop” (Marquis), the "Formel 1”
dodgem track (Heitmann), the
"Wellenflug” (Wendler), a kiddie
railway, a kiddie dodgem track,
and the nostalgic Galloper from
Wegener built up on the Twicklerstraße.
The Vreden fair will be officially
opened at the "Glücksprinz” continental pick stand at 4 p.m. on the Saturday.
After speeches from the showman spokesman Philipp Heitmann
and the Mayor Dr. Christoph Holtwisch, a donation to the "Aktion Lebenshilfe”
will be handed over, and free gingerbread will be distributed to the
visitors, as is the case every year. For the second time, the stroll across
the fairground will be accompanied by the Stadtlohn marching band
"Drumpets”, and up until 8 p.m. a happy hour with reduced fare prices will
be in effect. On Sunday, the fairground attractions will open after the Kirchweih
procession from 11 a.m., and on Monday a large bric-a-brac market
will be held, where 150 marketers will offer an abundant choice of goods
'from A to Z' – from automobile polish to Zinnia bulbs.
Moreover, the snack and gastronomy booths will proffer selected dishes
as special offers from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. On Monday evening, the Vreden
fair will be closed by a colourful fireworks display, which is traditionally
financed by all the participating showmen.

PREMIÉRE
Première at the
Sommerdom in Hamburg:
The “Wilde Maus XXL” from
Max Eberhard & Sohn
In the first few months of the
year, the green advertisements
from the Eberhard firm
on the back cover of the
Kirmes & Park Revue caused
a lot of excitement and anticipation
– and shortly before
going to press, this magazine
was already something of “a
fly on the wall” with regard to
this latest attraction from the
Hamburg showman (KPR,
issue 180). In mid- July, the
time had finally come for the
official introduction of the
“Wilde Maus XXL” to the public
at the Sommerdom in
Hamburg.

the cars go immediately down the drop at maximum
speed around the curve and then just as
fast through the second drop at the rear side of
the construction, until they reach the height of
the original Maus, marking the start of the popular
illusion of near drops in the hairpin bends.
This track section has also been completely revised,
now offering a speedy as well as smooth
ride.
As a result, passengers of all age groups were
equally thrilled. "We are highly satisfied,” said the
owner Max Eberhard. "At long last, the track offers
something for everybody once again, and is
very well received by the Dom visitors.” At peak
times, long queues regularly formed in front of
the paybox, while up to five 4-seat cars at the
same time were racing along the track course
extended by 200 metres, even though the track
in its current form has not yet been equipped
with all the features provided for in the original
concept. Due to delivery delays at the suppliers’,
only the "naked” steel construction could be pre-

At this point the height difference
between the existing
Wilde Maus and the new track
element is clearly visible
sented at the première, including a "pre show
area” incorporated between the paybox and the
entrance for the first time, which is loaded on a
separate trailer from Dietz, and has been
equipped with a total of 14 classic effects from
a Walkthrough construction in quick succession,
that are meant to entertain the waiting passengers
and spectators. Another completely new
feature is the sophisticated LED lighting from
Klaus Kairies in every single car, programmed to
blink bright white down the first drop and constantly
burning white down the rear drop. For the
rest of the time, one can perfectly follow the wild
swarm of cars along the complete track course
even after sundown, thanks to running lights
constantly changing colours. This is brought
about by a sophisticated technology with two

rechargeable batteries on board each car, and
a recharging facility in the station area.
As was the case with the front design, the current
lighting is actually only a first impression of
all the features yet to be installed over the coming
months. The "Wilde Maus XXL” will then have
supports painted in bilious green and be framed
by a total of 4 illuminated towers. A polyester
front from Stritzel will be mounted, rather
resembling a park ride, and the complete front
drop will be equipped with lighting effects. Moreover,
electronically controlled trick fountains will
be added in front of the drop-zone. However, the
success of the première event has once again
proved that these additional efforts are not really
necessary for the actual ride experience, as
long as the basic idea is already technically
working perfectly.
They mainly increase the attractiveness of the
whole construction, which is all the more important,
as the showmen have to apply not only for
national venues, but are also increasingly faced
with international competition. Indeed, Eberhard’s
"Wilde Maus XXL” has already been approved
to the prestigious "Winter Wonderland” at
London's Hyde Park, where the construction will
be presented with all the extra features from
November on.

the first Mondial “Turbine”
After the Propeller rides
“Capriolo” and “Infinity”, the
Dutch manufacturer Mondial

cake. The latest variation is
called “Turbine”, features the
ingenious gondola rotation
effect of the “Infinity”, and
has according to Mondial a

The first "Turbine” was presented by the showman
firm Turbine Bvba. from Belgium - a
cross-border cooperation of three renowned
showmen, J.J. de Voer and Wout Verbeek from
the Netherlands, and H. Heyblom from Brussels,
Belgium. Together they are aiming to present this
construction at events in the Netherlands, Belgium
and Germany in the future. Originally the
novelty should have already made a guest appearance
in Uden, Helmond, and Tilburg. However,
due to delays, the "Turbine” celebrated its
première at the "Park Hilaria” in Eindhoven only
in early August. While only test runs were carried
out during the opening day of the event, the attraction
went into normal operation the next day,
Sunday. The first impression: it is a striking construction,
scoring above all a hit with its height.
There are two rotating gondolas accommodating
10 passengers each (5 people sitting back

the "Turbine” a total capacity of up to 20 passengers
per ride. According to the information
panel at the ride, the maximum ride speed is 127
km/h – subjecting passengers to a force of up to
4.2 g – and a height of (quite daring!) 70 metres.
According to Wout Verbeek, the new owners
deliberately decided in favour of the manufacturer
name of "Turbine”, as it quite perfectly describes
the ride experience or, more precisely,
the ride's characteristic sound. Despite its large
dimensions, relocating the "Turbine” requires
only three transport vehicles, which are partly incorporated
into the construction. The BB Decor
firm was in charge of the ride’s design. After sundown,
the "Turbine” is illuminated in various
colours by the latest power-saving LED lighting
system. While the two gondolas rotated relatively
slowly at Eindhoven, they are to be accelerated
in the future. By the way, thanks to the gondola
rotation, passengers in the upper gondola
enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view during embarking
and disembarking. The three motors
have electrical requirements of 92 kW each. The
next venues of the "Turbine” will be/were, Osterhout,
Alkmaar and Gouda; further venues are
currently being planned.

The show lasts some 8 minutes. While children

adults after 8 p.m. Last year, the siblings Diana
and Bernhard Lemoine thought about how to improve
the "Live Action Show” and give it a new
theme. In the end, the redesign of the attraction
was inspired by the classic movie
"Panic Room”, which was made
famous by the American actress,
Jodie Foster. Instead of the originally
announced moulded plastic
front, the new front parts were built
by the H. Grass firm, and a matching
name sign tilting to the rear was
designed. The front area of the construction
was given a "rusty look”
and is dominated by a large printed
horror figure. Moreover, several
pictures of not exactly attractive,
'undead' creatures were also painted.
The inside of the construction is
currently being equipped with another
effect, where visitors will
suddenly find themselves involuntarily
incarcerated in a cage. The
"Panic Room” is a show booth of a
special kind, deliberately playing
on the visitors’ fears of darkness, confined space,
and horrible creatures. Even the parade was
changed to match the new theme, with monsters
and well-known figures from horror movies appearing
in the outside area over and over again,
scaring unsuspecting visitors. Lemoine’s "Panic
Room” will be presented at, among other venues,
Stuttgart and Bremen this year.

NOSTALGIA
The chain ride from
Martin Preuß at the spring
festival in Zwickau
The chain ride with which
Martin Preuß, a 4 th generation
showman from Weimar
(Thuringia) founded his
showman enterprise, has
been restored and pressed
back into service, and
celebrated a successful première
at the Spring Festival
in Werdau in late March this
year.
Text & Photos:
Rolf Orschel
Martin Preuß
Chain Ride
The ride's previous owner
was Werner Jacob
Jnr. from Tangerhütte, who
is also denoted in the ride
book as the manufacturer
of the attraction, which was
built in the mid 1980s. Even
though the ride was well
proportioned, successful
and equipped with a exceptional
amount of lighting
by former GDR standards,
it was closed down
and put into storage on
Werner Jacob's premises
in 1995 – due primarily to
an increasing lack of public
interest in typical GDR
rides. Two years ago, then
23-year-old Martin Preuß
purchased the chain ride in
order to found his own
showman enterprise. He
grew up in the business of
his parent’s – Sabine and
Hans-Joachim “Hajo” Preuß, who
had successfully travelled through
Central Germany with two selfmade
dart throwing wagons for
decades. After graduating from
school, Martin Preuß successfully trained and
even worked as a utility vehicle mechanic for a
short time. However, remembering the family’s
showman tradition and his newly awakened interest
in chain rides, eventually dared to become
a self-employed showman. The construction
was completely overhauled and visually redesigned.
The drafts for the striking artwork were
executed by the new owner with a computer programme
according to his own ideas. The painting
was then carried out by a specialist. The rotational
speed of the motor is controlled by a
newly built saltwater starter, providing the chain
ride with a smooth start.
Prior to the première in Werdau a new ride book
had to be compiled and the specifications had
to be recalculated, as due to the 15 years of being
out of service, the compliance permit had expired.
The ride is 9 metres high, has 36 seats, a
flight path of 15 metres, a four-level platform 8
metres in diameter, and electrical requirements
of 16 kW. Relocating requires only one transport
(baggage van and mast cart). The chain ride
from Martin Preuß will be toured throughout
Thuringia.

FRANKFURT
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
Many showmen and merchants were once
again attracted to the traditional Wäldchestag
event, held in the middle of the Frankfurt city
forest, during Pentecost (26 th to 29 th May) this
year.
The Frankfurt tradition according to which the citizens
rush to the city forest (especially on the Tuesday
after Pentecost, the peak day) to celebrate
their "Frankfurt National Holiday” dates back as far
as to the 18 th century. The whole
family goes exploring in the forest.
Even though the event was
officially documented for the
first time in 1792, the actual origin
of the Wäldchestag is still
not clear to this day. According
to the organiser, the Frankfurt
Tourismus + Congress GmbH, it
evolved either from the annual
Pentecost 'driving out of the
cattle' and the following forest
picnic enjoyed by the farmhands
and the farm girls, or from
the annual festival processions
of the craftsmen, which always
included a happy gathering in
the city forest. Be that as it may,
the event is held in high esteem
among the population to this
day. Up until the 1990s, the
Frankfurt retailers even closed their shops on
Tuesday afternoons so that their employees were
able to go to the city forest. The large fairground
offers a variety of gastronomic operations, sometimes
with appealing beer tents and beer gardens,
food and drinks, rides and concession stalls, as
well as several stages. In midsummer temperatures,
the "River Rafting” water ride (Kriek), built up
at the event for the first time, was very well
frequented. Other first-time appearances were
Hartmann’s "Time Factory” and the "Geisterhöhle”
Parties and ride attractions in
the forest at the Wäldchestag in
Frankfurt

Ghost Ride from Zinnecker. The "Breakdance”
(Müller) was the favourite attraction among young
people, and Oberschelp’s "High Impress” offered
a racy speed experience. Moreover, a Ferris
Wheel, the "Jaguar Express”, "Twister”, and the
"Wellenflug” were available to all age groups.
There was also an ample selection of ride attractions
for children, including the "Aqua Ball” water
attraction from Breuer. In the Africa Village
"Savanna” theme area, African goods were offered
for sale, and visitors were able to participate in a
drum workshop. All in all, this year’s Wäldchestag
was an appealing and varied event with pleasant
and sunny weather.

WUPPERTAL

The new event was immediately
very well received by the visitors.
For four days, the promenade at
the zoo stadium has been a popular
destination for the Wuppertal
residents and guests from
near and far. The new location of
the fair turned out to be a very
good choice due to its ideal infrastructure.
As the fair was held
on the weekend after the
Sterkrade Corpus Christi Day
Fair, the organiser succeeded in
enticing also attractive large
rides. Initially the Elberfeld-West
district authorities were not really
enthusiastic about a fair to be
at the zoo stadium and voiced
some objections, which turned
out however to be completely unwarranted
after the event. The organiser had focused
on laying out an attractive family-friendly fair with
new ride attractions for Wuppertal. Originally, the
name "Mega” fair had only been the internal term
for the invitation for applications. Once the name
was known, it attracted the attention of the press,
and the Showman Association was besieged with
questions from various media. A new approach was
taken in public relations and new media were chosen
for the placement of advertisements, in which
the close cooperation with the Westdeutsche
Zeitung turning out to have been quite sensible.
Moreover, a number of advertisements were placed
in the event magazine and in the local Wuppertal
Not the only attraction
often operating at full capacity
at Wuppertal: Wingender’s
“Air-Crash”

Between cable car and
stadium: the first Wuppertal
Mega-Kirmes was a big
success
Gina Osthoff from the WDR
interviewing Peter Fuhrmann
'small-ad freebee', as well as in the cinema programme
guide. Even though the advertising budget
was unfortunately not sufficient for local radio
commercials, there were detailed radio reports
about the new fair. Even the WDR television station
broadcast a detailed report in its "Lokalzeit” programme
on the final day of the build up week – there
had never been television coverage of the Wuppertal
fair before. For the first time, 10,000 flyers
were displayed at schools, petrol stations and
restaurants. 1,000 stickers were snapped up like
hot cakes and could be seen on vehicles and
school bags. 100 DIN-A-0 posters were put up on
the billboards at the cable car stations, and 500
posters were deployed at well-frequented sites
within the city area.
The selection of fairground attractions left nothing
to be desired. In front of the cable car station at the
Zoo, the "Geisterstadt” Ghost Ride from Fellerhoff
attracted the public’s attention to the event already
one week prior to the opening. It was virtually besieged
throughout the event. Another meeting point
in this area was the Travelling Bakery from Merken,
with its jelly-filled doughnuts made by hand turning
out to be a highly popular culinary delight. Stefan
Roseboom’s Continental
Pick stand offered an interesting
prize; polar
bears in different sizes
marked the occasion of
the birth of the little polar
bear Anori in the Wuppertal
zoo. His plan
worked out well; the polar
bears went like hot
cakes! Apart from a kiddie
ride, the first site was
occupied by three large
attractions, namely
Fuhrmann’s chain ride,
the "Hip Hop Fly” from Noack and the "Love Express”
(Kreft). The Walking Waterballs were also
well received in this location. Also built up along the
promenade between the terrace and the Wupper
banks were the "Helikopter” (Bauer), Wingender’s
"Air Crash” and Oberschelp’s "High Impress”. It was
especially the latter two rides were in heavy demand
throughout the event. At the opening on Friday
afternoon, there were also representatives from
the district authorities in charge, who were pleasantly
surprised by the varied and spectacular ride
contingent. The rush of visitors began even in the
early afternoon hours, and reached its peak in the
early evening. Although it began to rain at about 10
p.m., most of the visitors had plenty of fun and waited
patiently for the fireworks display. In the end,
their waiting paid off and they experienced a
colourful pyrotechnic spectacle well worth waiting
for. Although it rained on Saturday, a surprisingly
high number of visitors rushed to the fairground.
The sunny Sunday broke all records though, with
pushing crowds on the fairground from morning till
night. The rides, particularly the ghost ride, worked
to the limits of their capacity and the sales and
games booths did very good business. Even the
mega fair did not stand a chance against "King
Football” though. As a result, there were hardly any
visitors on the fairground during the match involving
the German team. The last opening day and
Family Day on Monday was another highlight. The
first Wuppertal "Mega” fair was a successful and
peaceful family event in every respect. The unexpected
rush of visitors and the financial results of
the event quickly got around among the showmen.
As a result, many non-resident showmen came to
the Wupper to convince themselves of the fair’s
success. The colleagues, sometimes coming from
far away, were surprised and full of praise. Unfortunately,
there were also some showmen who
warned their colleagues about travelling to Wuppertal.
"Don’t go there, there is no business and you
can’t make a living there.” What will happen in Wuppertal
in the future? For next year’s event, positive
signals have already been sent from the politicians
and the Sports Association. With a bit of luck, the
fair can be extended to two additional free spaces,
which would mean a sufficient opportunity for a
coaster so much longed for by the visitors, as well
as a Ferris Wheel.

KÖLN-MÜLHEIM
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
The “Schützenkirmes und Gottestracht”
event in Köln-Mülheim, which is always held
around Corpus Christi Day (this year from 7 th
to 10 th June), offered little flair, little fairground
fun, and only a couple of ride and Funhouse
attractions this year; thus once again underlining
the event’s decline.
Looking at the fairground under the Mühlheim
Brücke, it would not be exaggerating to talk of a
"lean-mix event”. Gone is the appeal of the once
not at all insignificant fair event. Even the regular
participants, who used to build up their attractions
regularly, have turned their back on the
Sankt Sebastianus Schützenbruderschaft and
looked for other more lucrative events with a
higher visitor attendance. Apart from a number
of concession stalls and kiddie rides, the ride attractions
presented on the fairground this time
were Wendler’s "Musik Express”, Bonner’s
"Breakdance”, and a dodgem track. ■

BAYREUTH
Text & Photos:
Helmut Bresler
In the end, the Pfingstvolksfest or Pentecost
Volksfest in Upper Franconia was one of the
events with the highest turnover in its more
than 100-year history.
This was due to the wonderful weather in the beginning,
as well as the exquisite list of represented rides
enticing visitors from the surrounding region, with "The
King” from Zinnecker, "Parkour” from Aigner, and the
"Breakdance” from Diebold being the most popular attractions.
The new Lord Mayor Brigitte Merk-Erbe
evolved into the most popular advertising medium for
the event, who accomplished the tapping of the keg
with only two blows of the mallet, and then mingled with
the crowd in the jam-packed beer tent. She looked for
conversation and drank to the success of the Bayreuth
Volksfest – and it was of no significance, which drink
was in her stein. It is a good thing to have a committed
Lord Mayor who demonstrates the importance
attached to the event not only on the opening day. Visitors
were able to enjoy among others the "Black Hole”
(Schierenbeck), Go-Kart-Track "Indianapolis” (Böhme),
"Nürnberger Wellenflug” (Distel), "Petersburger

track (Diebold), "The Game” (Weber),
"Alpenrausch” (Kollmann),
Mäusestadt (Brambach), and the
Ghost Ride "Spuk” (Sipkema-Lütjens).
For the first time, there was
an official press tour providing the
media representatives with a look
behind the fairground scenes, and
the chance to meet many a showman.
The highlight in Bayreuth is and remains
the beauty contest. The new patron Bastian
Schuhmann successfully coped with the crowd once
again leaving hardly any room in his brand new beer
tent on that day, even though the building regulations
office approved his new construction only 20 minutes
before the opening on Friday.
As a result, the beginning was somewhat clumsy, but
improved day by day. Bastian Schuhmann dared to
take a plunge and silenced sceptic voices. True, he
does not have the effective publicity of an old hand
publican yet, but he has successfully demonstrated
that he is able to realize his plans.
In his review, Marc Ermer, Fairground Director from the
"Bayreuth Marketing und Tourismus GmbH” said, "It
was a strong festival with high visitor attendance from
all over Germany.”

SCHORTENS-HEIDMÜHLE

Nils Benthien
Held every year:
Kramermarkt in Heidmühle
In the Heidmühle district of
Schortens, the 60 th bric-abrac
market was held from
22 nd to 25 th June this year.
Even though the first bric-abrac
market was celebrated
in the town in the Friesland
district in 1953, the patrons
Friedrich Rohlfsen and Eilt
Ennen from Schortens had
already operated a large
beer tent two years earlier to
offer the locals a little change from daily life. To use
the large tent to capacity, a number of merchants
were invited to organise a small sales fair for textiles.
They were joined by the horse carousel from
Kruse, Müller’s swing boat, and the bakery stall
from Pöpken. Additionally Eduard and Käthe Köhn
sold fresh fruit and vegetables as well as fried
sausages. The varied product choice was well received
by the public, and encouraged by the surprising
success, Eduard Kühn organised the first
large Heidmühle bric-a-brac market in 1953. Kühn
then acted as market attendant until he passed
away in 1981. Up until two years ago, his successor,
Manfred Kirchhoff and his deputy Holge Rabenstein,
were responsible for the organisation of the
bric-a-brac market, and since last year the Oldenburg
Showman Association has been in charge. On
Friday, Mayor Gerhard Böhling officially opened the
60 th bric-a-brac market together with the DSB Vice
President and Chairman of the Oldenburg Showman
Association, Michael Hempen. For the anniversary,
the fairground at the Friesenweg was laid
out as a circuit course without a centre row. Placed
directly at the entrance to the area was the "Take
Off” from Langenscheidt with the "Café Keese”
(Hempen) and Janßen’s "Remmi Demmi” standing
to its left. Built up further along the circuit course
were the "Music Hall” dodgem track from Hempen,
the "Breakdancer No.1” (Dreher-Vespermann), and
the Musik Express from Meinecke. Two kiddie rides,
numerous games stalls and snack booths rounded
off the selection of attractions. The final opening
was the designated Family Day with reduced fare
prices at all the rides, and in the late evening the
60th Heidmühle Kramermarkt was closed by a brilliant
fireworks display.

This year, the 85 th anniversary of
the large Volksfest on the Main
was celebrated in Aschaffenburg
(15 th to 25 th June).
Seldom have there been so many
novelties and debutantes at the
largest Volksfest on the Bavarian
Untermain. As many as 8 operations
made a first-time appearance
opposite the picturesque castle
with Goetzke’s "Rocket” and
Kaiser’s "Rio Rapidos” being the
highlights among the novelties.
The other debutantes, the "Flash”
(Weber), "Parkour” (Aigner)
"Krumm & Schief Bau” (Hartmann)
"Venetian Carousel” (Langenberg), "Beach Jumping”
trampoline (Meeß), and the "Musik Shop” Musik Express
(Rasch), were also very well received by the
public. Other attractions presented were the Ferris
Wheel (Willenborg), "Turbo Force” (Schäfer), "Hexentanz”
(Markmann), "U 3000” (Ahrend), "Samba Tower”
(Halbig), Rutsche (Göbel), chain ride (Keller), and
Lehmann’s "Geisterschlange”.

Highly popular with the
visitors: Kaiser’s “Rio Rapidos”
SCHWEINFURT
Text & Photo: Helmut Bresler
The fact that the metropolis in Lower Franconia
loves its Volksfest event is demonstrated by Lord
Mayor Sebastian Remelé at the traditional opening
stroll across the fairground every year, when he not
only talks and shakes hands, but also takes many
a ride. At the end of the 11-day event the majority
of the participating showmen were satisfied with
their results. 60 attractions enticed the visitors, including
the large water ride (Löwenthal), the "Artistico”
swing (Köhrmann), the "Spuk” Ghost Ride
(Sipkema-Lütjens), "Wellenflug” (Fahrenschon),
"Domino” (Michel), "The Game” (Weber), "Hot Shot”
(Dölle), "Breakdance” (Wolf), and "Live Boxen” (Lemoine-Heinen).
According to the showman spokesman
Heiner Distel, the American guests were very
well represented and have "played a substantial
role in this year’s success”. Remarkably, the
Schweinfurt Volksfest did not suffer any losses as a
result of the three matches of the German team in
the European Football Championship – not least
thanks to numerous screens put up in the beer tent
of patron Michael Hahn, which also served as the
site of the official opening once again. For the first
time not a single drop of beer was served up until
the tapping of the keg this year. As a result the first
litre of beer was all the better. A supporting programme
for the opening is a good idea, but it must

event on the first Sunday, when

beer tent and did not

good thing that this idea is continued
and supported by various
sponsors. The supporting programme
once again included
two fireworks displays (at the
start and the finale), a Ladies’
Night, Family Day, Showman Church Service, and
the traditional lottery; not to forget the well-researched
16-page Volksfest paper. The event was
once again perfectly organised by Sylvia Amrhein
from the city authorities, and Frank Reppert, head
official at the Public Order Office.

Turnover at this year’s Worms Pfingstmarkt
(26 th May to 3 rd June) fell short of the expectations.
As usual, the mixture of fair event and consumer
fair was organised by the town authorities.
On the second opening weekend, the
Pfingstmarkt suffered from a parallel-running
event on the Kisselwiese located a good kilometre
from the town centre, with a shopping
night (up until midnight) with numerous actions
and attractions. The bungee tower built
up as an eye catcher was clearly visible also
from the fairground. Why the total of only six
ride and Funhouse attractions approved to
the event included two chain rides ("Wellenflug”
and "Around the World”) was also hard
to fathom. Both operators were not exactly
happy with the situation.

European Showmen’s Union
Europäische Schausteller-Union
Union Foraine Européenne
International non-government organisation (NGO) • Established in 1954
President Albert Ritter
Europe’s Showmen together against Administration Arbitrariness
ESU Resolution for safeguarding the European Volksfests
associations. A regular exchange about
current questions and problems with the
national showman associations and the
European Showman Union is essential.
4. Allocation of Space:
In order to safeguard the regional Volksfest
tradition in Europe, the national showman
associations are preferred to address the
matters of tenders and allocations of spaces.
It’s first when the wished for attraction
cannot be made available by the specific
national operation, that cross-border tenders
should be offered.
5. Planning Security:
ESU-Conference in Warsaw
Following an invitation issued by Polish
showmen, the ESU chairmanship and representatives
of the European Showman
Association met for an international
exchange of views. In addition to discussions
about current themes, the unanimously
passed "Resolution in furtherance
and safeguarding the showman industry
and the Volksfests in Europe” was the
centre point of the event.
The resolution applies to all Volksfests that
are presented by cities and municipalities,
e.g. those governed by public law surveillance
and control:
1. Spiral of Charges:
With a view to the increasing costs, the
showman branch requested that the ESU
demands moderate fees for stand costs, or
alternatively location fees. An increase of
charges will have fatal results for the existence
of the operators, and with that the future
of the cultural asset, the Volksfests.
2. Volksfest Bylaws:
3. Communication:
The ESU contrives for the furthering of
communication between event managers
and showmen, or alternatively showman
The European showman companies require
operation and planning security. The
adherence to traditional Volksfest dates by
the event organisors is therefore absolutely
necessary.
6. Debureaucratisation:
Transparency between organisors and
showmen builds the basis of a successful
collaboration. The system of place allocation
must be non-bureaucratic. Tenders
The European Showman Union demands
simple and clear Volksfest bylaws e.g. approval
guidelines that are valid in general,
containing no exceptions.
Europe's Volksfests: Economic and Cultural Asset

European Showmen’s Union • Europäische Schausteller-Union • Union Foraine Européenne
and application documentation is to be
clear and concise in order to avoid unnecessary
bureaucratic hurdles.
7. Infrastructure:
The social environment of the Volksfest
must be in tune. The organisors are required
to create reliable framework conditions.
The showman caravans as well as social
rooms are to be analogously treated by the
established sector.
8. Intake and Expenses:
Earnings should be made at the Volksfests.
The ESU demands that the cities and municipalities
keep their intake and expenses
for the organisation of the Volksfests
transparent, and to give showmen an unrestricted
insight.
9. Immaterial Cultural Asset:
Europe has a unique and multifarious cultural
landscape. To this belongs in particular
the centuries old culture of the
Volksfests. The European Showman Union
is endeavouring for the recognition of
Volksfests as immaterial cultural asset
through UNESCO. The ESU demands cities
and municipalities to support this matter.
Unity gives strength!

GASTRONOMY
ZUR ALTEN SCHNITZELMÜHLE
At the Erbach Wiesenmarkt
visitors were able to enjoy
freshly prepared, crispy fried
schnitzel: Jeffrey Bauer from
Worms presented his new
speciality booth “Zur alten
Schnitzelmühle” for the first
time.

Jeffrey Bauer with
his sister Janine preparing
schnitzels in the “Alte
Schnitzelmühle”
The schnitzels are prepared before the eyes of
customers, the very way they know it from "home”:
first, the pork escalope is beaten with a steak pounder
to tenderise it, then dipped in beaten egg and
breaded. This done, the meat is deep-fried until it is
crisp and golden. There are 6 different variations on
the menu for visitors to choose from: Escalope chasseur
with mushroom sauce, escalope in cream
sauce, escalope served in spicy sauce with red and
green pepper, and of course the classic Wienerschnitzel,
or "Viennese style”. They are served with
delicious fried potatoes or fried chips – and there is
nothing left to stand in the way of culinary delight.
While response was quite modest on the first opening
day, things abruptly changed on the second day.
Word of the menu that is quite unusual on a fairground,
as well as the high quality went around quickly,
and there were even guests who returned to "Zur
alten Schnitzelmühle” several times. The Bauer family,
travelling with several gastronomic operations,
purchases the meat for the schnitzels at their regular
butcher in Bad Rappenau. The construction was built
by the Schmäding firm according
to the customer's wishes last year,
and was first presented at the Heidelberg
Christmas Market, without
this special offer though. In the
rear section, there are several
seating possibilities with tables,
where guests can sit and eat their
Schnitzel dishes in style. After its
guest appearance in Erbach, the
attraction went on to the Crange
Fair; further events are currently being planned. The
construction has ground measurements of 9 x 4.50
metres and requires only one transport vehicle for relocation.

PORTRAIT
Very rare: a new pier
with new ride constructions
Seaside piers always attracted
people for a day of sea, sun and
fun. And what better way to have
fun than on a pier filled with
rides, and games and food
stands. And even though these
days many historic piers have
disappeared, there are still some
in the world, mainly situated in
the UK and in the United States.
Galveston Island Historic
Text & Photos:
Rik Engelen
In their heyday, these piers attracted record
crowds and big entertainers. Galveston Pleasure
Pier on Galveston Island in Texas was no exception,
and back in the 1940s it was the largest in the
country. In 1961 however, Hurricane Carla brought
an end to all this and badly damaged the pier.
The pleasure pier’s place was taken by the Flagship
Hotel, a hotel over the Gulf of Mexico,
renowned for over 40 years. 2008 brought Hurricane
Ike, which unleashed its brutal winds on the
hotel. However in 2009, the company Landry’s –
owner of restaurants as well as the nearby Kemah
Boardwalk with the infamous “Boardwalk Bullet”
wooden coaster, planned on rebuilding the pier as
it was more than half a century earlier, when it was
last a pleasure pier. This pier opened in May 2012
under the name “Galveston Island Historic Pleasure
Pier”. It has the look and feel of a historic pier but
of course is filled with modern rides. Although the
pier is modest in length, 16 rides are presented,
both large and small, most of which were bought
mainly from US manufacturers such as Chance and
Larson. Apart from a flume ride, a “Larson Loop”, a
pirate ship and an Afterburner, the two large constructions
are the “Euro-Fighter” from Gerstlauer,
and the Funtime “Starflyer”.

Pleasure Pier
At the time of the author’s visit, the pier was still in its softopening-phase,
and the “Texas Star Flyer” was not even
completed. This attraction is equipped with a normal
chain arrangement and not the newer version as at various
Six Flags Parks, and promises a twirled ride, especially
when there’s some wind coming off the Gulf of Mexico
as usual.
The “Euro-Fighter” from Gerstlauer was however accessible
and operating – with a special design of a rather
stretched and small footprint due to the width of the pier.
The ride is short but is filled with action from start to finish.
In the small station, guests are loaded into one of the three
wonderfully themed shark cars. Since the construction of
the “Dare Devil Dive” for Six Flags over Georgia (2011),
Gerstlauer does not equip the 8-seat “Euro-Fighter” cars
with shoulder restraints anymore, but with new lap bars –
another plus point for the ride. From the
station, passengers climb the 30.5 m high
vertical lift, exciting in itself also because of
the new restraints. At the peak, the lift slows
down and the cars crest the summit slowly,
giving riders a brief view of the ocean
surroundings, before speeding downwards
more than vertically. This is followed by quite
a number of elements despite a track length
of only 379.8 m, which makes the ride very
disorientating. And so “Iron Shark” offers its
guests a racy ride from start to brake. And
should a passenger choose a seat on the
right side of the car, they are actually ‘outside’
the pier above the water when waiting to
enter the station.

Pleasure Pier offers a wide
array of ride constructions

Whilst the “Starflyer” was
still being built up, the pier was
already open with other
attractions
“Iron Shark” features four major inversions. In the
case of many modern coasters, elements have
started to fade away from the classic forms, making
it harder to really identify them within the ride.
This is even more so in the case of “Iron Shark”
since it has such a short and tight layout. The elements
can best be described as a beyond vertical
drop followed by an Immelmann, a diving curve, a
small airtime hill, a cutback, and a somewhat
inclined loop. The “blue shark” has hardly any
running noise however is not quite so smooth,
probably due to the action packed and compact
layout.
“Iron Shark” however is a very interesting ride because
of its design as well as the restraints; and fits
into the bright, new and shiny pier beautifully. Credit
does truly go to Landry’s for having chosen such a
bold and intense ride, although an additional kiddie
or family coaster would not have been out of place
on the pier.

The new pier with its attractive ride constructions is

sure to draw large crowds. With all the rides open,
an illuminated pier and a gentle evening breeze to
chase away the Texan heat, there is no better way
to end a beautiful summer day.

It often happens that a new coaster
replaces an old one. And it
also happens regularly that the
older attraction is hard to replace
because it had gained a certain
cult status over the years.
But it has never happened that a
construction has had to compete
with such a strong heritage as
the new attraction “Verbolten” at
Busch Gardens.

The vehicle design is unusual
and also good
Verbolten
Verbolten” manages this – relatively easily,
because the construction is simply convincing.
This begins already with the first look at the
peculiar seeming name: a mixture of “verboten”
and “bolt” – in other words, lightning. Without a
doubt, quite original. And the ride is as fast as
lightning thanks to the powerful LSM- launches,
but more about that later.
The thematic settlement of the construction
through its location in the “Oktoberfest” theme
area was already predetermined, although the
story of “Verbolten” plays out in the Black Forest.
Okay, the Americans used geography here as
anything else other than exact, and relocated the
“Black Forest” unceremoniously into Bavaria. Be
that as it may! This faux pas is compensated for
by the lovingly designed waiting area with various
antiquated advertising placards for “Black
Forest Tours”, complete with downright heart
wrenching misspelling. One therefore must pose
the question as to why a multimillion dollar park
such as Busch Gardens is one of those that obviously
has no money to spend on a German
speaking copy writer. Oh well, something that
will be noticed the least by the Americans. And
the German visitors at least have something to
laugh about.
In the case of “Verbolten” it’s all about a drive
through the Black Forest, organised by the fictive
tour operator “Black Forest Tours”, that let’s
say, gets somewhat out of control. The “black” in
“Black Forest” can definitely be taken as literally
speaking: half of the ride is practically spent
in the dark. For this purpose a huge hall has been
placed in the low ground under the Oktoberfest
area, which due to its location can hardly be recognised
from outside. A lot goes on in this hall,
and the first acceleration section shoots directly
into the dark. A genial effect that one usually
82

looks for in vain.
But the ride has something to offer even outside
the huge “Show Buildings” as the park has called
this building: directly after leaving the dark
and black forest, the train is brought from its two
acceleration runs to its highest speed of 85 kilometres
per hour. In an uphill leading right-leftpassage,
the train is conducted over a bridge
that leads over the “Rhine River”. Yes the good
old Father Rhine in the American version flows
through the middle of the Black Forest, but then
that’s their impression of Germany: somewhat
abstract, and everything that isn’t at least 1,000
miles away is quasi around the corner. The said
bridge has obviously seen better days – good
that the train is brought down to a crawl by way
of an electromagnetic braking system. A warning
sign in German makes it definitely clear that
it wasn’t such a good idea to go over this bridge…
and even before one knows where they are
the whole train goes into a steep, left turning
drop towards the “Rhine River”. But we’re in
America so there’s naturally a happy end, and
the train just manages the curve. The previous
construction “Big Bad Wolf” also had a similar
drop, which was the highlight of the ride.
Here the drop can be better described as
tame, which can naturally be due to the fact
that design related, the intense swing-off of
the Suspended Coaster cars is missing in the
entry to the curve. At least the massive foundations
of the Arrow-attraction could be reused
again for “Verbolten”, which however
are most probably a little oversized. However
the reuse is naturally sensible, particularly as
to dredge this huge fundament out of the
water would not have been cheap. And on
the way back to the station “Verbolten” takes
the identical course as did “Big Bad Wolf”,
and waits in an upward passage before the
final curve again with a surprising airtimemoment,
before reaching the final brakes
through a left curve.
Unfortunately “Verboten” seems somewhat

COASTER

room with a view of the

The train drops into
the thick “Black Forest”
The indoor sequence with
freefall element takes place in
this hall construction
short, and with only an 864 metre track course,
in actual fact doesn’t belong among the longest
of its clique. All the more points therefore for the
indoor sequence. But what exactly happens
here? After the LSM booster takes a powerful
grip and catapults the connecting train at an
orderly 63 kilometres per hour into the pitchblack
in less than two seconds, a fierce rising
curve connects up. The now visible effects are a
multitude of two-dimensional murals of fluorescent
colour, which symbolise an eerie forest.
Everything here is held deliberately in a more
comic-style, and does not attempt to be frantically
realistic. A short delay section offers time to
gain ones breath, and then the train takes off
again into the figure-8-layout that essentially is
within the hall, and stops after another short
drop. And with that the freefall element is reached.
There are three different “shows” in the freefall-room
that are chosen by a random generator:
either one is viewed by a spooky red bugloss,
another time there’s a fierce storm, and the
third time there’s the threat of being exposed to
menacing trees. To speak of three different
“shows”, as the park does, is a little too much of
marketing-clatter, but still it’s always a little exciting
to see just which effect will be seen. The
fall-sequence in itself runs smoothly: the train
stops, after the short show it travels downwards
and then out of the freefall sequence and over a
small drop direct into the second acceleration
course. All in all it takes around 20 seconds.
In an unavoidable comparison to the Intamin
variation, which until now has only been realized
84

as “Thirteen” at Alton Towers, “Verbolten” offers
the somewhat deeper drop with safety only by
way of a lap bar. Nevertheless the high freefall
effect has been bought dearly with the omission
of the pre-drop, which was simply not technically
possible here. The Zierer variation, different to
the Intamin version, doesn’t work with a hydraulic
system, but with a grid winch system.
In addition to the consistent indoor-section and
the powerful acceleration part, “Verbolten” is
also convincing with its train design that reminds
one of a classic Porsche-sports car – including
functioning headlamps and glassless windscreens.
In the waiting area guests are keyed up
about the pending ride by wonderful-kitsch type
art. Old original cupboards from the Zierer
workshops have found their home in the station
area that resembles a garage. It looks real, because
it is real. Additionally announcements are
made with a German accent, and Teutonic fragments
such as “auf Wiedersehen” are naturally
included.
Summary: “Verbolten” is a worthy replacement
of the “Big Bad Wolf”. The theme is convincing
and lovingly implemented and makes it all a lot
of fun. And the ride itself, as its predecessor, can
be classified as family friendly. A visit to Busch
Gardens is definitely worthwhile.

TOP ACT
A water coaster is a
lot of fun particularly in the
summer months –
especially when there’s a
water park nearby as well
With its two records “Highest
Water Coaster Worldwide”, and
“Highest Coaster in Italy”, Mirabilandia
is setting new standards
for the 2012 season in the
Italian park scene. The largest
single investment of 20 million
Euro is a terrific birthday present
for the 20 th anniversary season.

Real coaster elements
distinguish this attraction
DiVertical
The park wanted a large attraction for the
celebration, ideal for the whole family. With the
two attractions “Katun”, an Inverter from Boliger
Mabillard, and “iSpeed”, a Launch Coaster from
Intamin, the offer on large coasters at the park is
covered superbly. So, it had to be a water attraction,
fitting to the mostly very hot Italian weather
conditions.
Contact was made with a number of manufacturers,
and in the end it turned out that the best concept
for the park would be a “Hyper Splash” from
Intamin. A 41 metre high prototype of this new
water ride generation was already opened in May
2009 in the American state of Indiana. Mirabilandia’s
Park Director Riccardo Capo had viewed the
“Pilgrim’s Plunge” attraction at Holiday World (see
KPR 8/2009) and had received a good feedback
about the ride from the technology department of
the operator.
However Mirabilandia didn’t want simply a water
ride, but a water-coaster with a lot of coaster
segments. As a result there was
a necessary row of technical
modifications, and so the boats
for the coaster section have the
customary guide roller and side
roller that travel on the inside of
the tracks. To prevent the lifting
of the boats there is a restraint
construction mounted underneath
the boats, which glides in
a T-profile affixed in the centre of
the track.
The boats swim in the water
canal that leads from the station
to the lift. Another modification
of the boats pertains to the division
between the second and
third seat rows, where a hinge
that can turn axially has been
built in. This is necessary so that
the boats can travel through the
slanting curves in the coaster
section.
86

Basically when compared to the construction at
Holiday World, it’s only the distinctive vertical lift
that remains, whilst all other components of
“DiVertical” are largely new developments. The
complete attraction has not only a normal splashdown
sequence that takes place in the large water
basin, but also a water brake system as being
the first splash zone. This actually comprises of
two interlocked water basins. The large outside
basin is in effect only viewed as a theming element.
The smaller basin inside, into which the
boats plunge, serves as a controlled brake system,
which has been used for the first time worldwide
at Mirabilandia. The result is very successful
and functions in the following manner: when one
of the boats speeds down from an almost 60 metres
height, it reaches the first splash zone at the
end. Here the ride speed is not reduced strongly
as on conventional constructions by the water
contact though, as the boats require somewhat
speed at the end of the water sequence when the
coaster part begins, in order to climb a 25 metre
high hill. The boats are equipped with a type of
spoiler on the underside with which they glide over
the water surface, not sinking too deeply. For this
reason the level of the water here must be exact,
The controlled speed reduction
by a cool down
sequence is unique until now

Speedy drops and wet
launches in turn are the
characteristics of this ride
Onride imressions
so that the boats are not braked too much or too
little. Occasionally there are still a number of problems
with the sensors in this area, but on the
whole the ride functions without any problems.
The theming design of “DiVertical” was chosen in
correlation to “iSpeed”, as both constructions
have been settled in the same park area. Whilst
“iSpeed” immerses in the world of Formula One,
the chosen theme for “DiVertical” was the
congener water theme of offshore racing-speedboats.
Building began in October 2011. The loading
capacity of 75 semitrailers was necessary to
transport all the components to the building site.
Ride Construction Service GmbH (RCS) and
another 80 firms with approximately 300 external
personnel were involved in the building of the ride.
10,500 tons of concrete was used for the complete
attraction with a ground area of 45,000 square
metres – 7,500 square metres of that are for the
water basins.
The technical inspection was completed by TÜV
Munich. Children may ride the water coaster from
a height of 120 centimetres, or they must be eight
years old. There are eleven boats available, each
accommodating ten passengers (normally ten are
in use with one always waiting in a rotational
process).
88

TOP ACT
The optical distinction on this fully-fledged water coaster is
the vertical lift
The unusual lift from a view below
The attraction is naturally an eye-catcher, with the
winding construction of the lift bringing a lot of attention
to it. Park visitors stand in long queues for
a ride, and as is the case at the American Holiday
World, visitors at Mirabilandia can ride “DiVertical”
in their bathing attire. This makes sense of course
as the water park Mirabilandia Beach is only a few
steps away, and will receive its own entrance for
the new season.
The layout of “DiVertical” is rich in variety. At first
the boats travel into a water canal after leaving the
station, which leads to the vertical lift. The lift has
two loading platforms for the boats. These move
in the opposite direction to each other, up and
down. Therefore while one boat is lifted, the other
empty platform sinks. This saves time and increases
the transport capacity. The ascent is impressive
and offers a great overview of the water
attraction. Once arriving at the top of the vertical
lifthill, the boat holds for a few seconds before it
glides slowing into the first drop. The drop has a
45° angle, and reaching the end, the boat travels
unusually smoothly over the first splash zone at a
significant speed of 110 kilometres per hour,
whereby the passengers from the second row
already receive their first cooling down. Due to the
high tempo the water does spray into the boat, as
though it were under pressure.

The coaster section then begins without any interruption.
Initially the boats climb up a 25 metre
high hill that leads into a 180° left curve. The
following and short straight section comprises of
a block brake segment, followed by a 360° helix
turning to the right. The second and final splash in
a second and larger basin is a lot wetter. The riders
in the front remain dryer than the rest here as well,
while the other passengers are refreshed by even
more water. But that’s the object of the exercise,
particularly during the mostly very summery
temperatures not far from the Adriatic coast. From
the second splash zone, a straight course in the
water canal leads back to the station. The ride in
total offers a lot of fun. The lap bars offer the
necessary freedom to enjoy the ride, and the
coaster section is smooth without any type of
vibration. There are no high g-forces, but that’s
exactly what the park wanted. An optically spectacular,
but simultaneously family friendly water
ride. Park Director Riccardo Capo emphasised
that family-friendliness was the main issue during
decision making for this new attraction. For the
next season, investments are planned for the
kiddie area.

EXHIBITION
This year’s AAE was
very well attended
The halls 5B and 5 E at the Hong
Kong Convention & Exhibition
Centre were sold out. This reflects
the dynamics of what actually
is behind the Asian market
currently: more than 5,100 registered
visitors and 274 exhibitors
– never before was an Asian
branch exhibition larger than
this year!

Manufacturers and operators from the Asian
amusement industry came together at the
Hong Kong Asian Attractions Expo from the 7 th to 9 th
of June. More and more of those involved want to
be involved in the theme park boom of the Far East.
Within only four years, the exhibitor numbers at the
exhibition have doubled.
With Ocean Park and Disneyland, the special
administrative region Hong Kong has belonged
among the theme park capitals of South East Asia
for many years, and the neighbouring province
Guangdong can confidently be considered as the
centre of the amusement industry in the People’s
Republic of China with its large amusement parks
in Shenzhen and Guangzhou. In the near future the
“Bullet Coaster” from S&S at Shenzhen’s Happy
Valley, and plans for the second park of the Chimelong
Group – the Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai – for
which amongst others, Mack and Zierer will be
delivering ride constructions, have already been
completed.
The established parks on the Pearl River Delta continue
to expand: the new Mack attraction “Arctic
Blast” at Ocean Park as well as the Vekoma Launch
-Coaster “Big Grizzly Mountain” at Disneyland
opened officially on the 13 th July.

After an S&S 4D coaster went into operation in
Changzhou, and a Giant Boomerang from Vekoma
in Shanghai, the speedy development in the greater
metropolitan area of Shanghai continues. Various
manufacturers are building ride constructions for
the Romon World in Ningbo located two and half
hours away, north of Shanghai. Those in the party
include amongst others Intamin with a looping
construction, Maurer Söhne with an X-Car coaster,
and Zamperla is also supplying a number of ride
constructions.
At Huagudeng Carnival Park located west of Nanjing,
Shibaolai is currently installing a Suspended
Looping Coaster, and is also working on new ride
constructions for the Shijingshan Amusement Park
in Peking.
Not far from the provincial capital in Triumph Kingdom
in Wuqing (Province Tianjin), work has already
steadily advanced: Zamperla is building amongst
others its first car ride with central guide rail, and
Intamin is busy with its first delivery of the “Fly
Rider” concept. Most of the remaining ride constructions
are of Chinese production, and among
others, a Suspended Looping Coaster from Golden
Horse is already completed. The next park from
the Happy-Valley-Group will also be built in Tianjin.
Confirmed already are a wooden coaster from the
Gravity Group, an “El Loco”-Coaster from S&S, and
a Minetrain from Golden Horse. Remarkable is the
fact that with the exception of two coasters, all ride
constructions will be delivered by local manufacturers.
In the neighbouring province of Hebei, the Great
Mall of China is currently under construction, a
project of the Malayan firm Berjaya Properties, and
will harbour, amongst others, a large coaster from
Premier Rides, as well as a “Motorbike
Launch Coaster” and a looping
construction from Vekoma. Berjaya
has been operating an indoor park in
the Malayan capital Kuala Lumpur
since 2003.
The Fantawild-Group is also expanding
further, just as the OCT-
Group is doing with its Happy-Valley-
Parks. In addition to new park projects
in the Middle East there are also
two new parks being built for China,
with Maurer Söhne and Vekoma also
being involved as suppliers. Vekoma
is delivering a new Boomerang
coaster with a magnetic brake system
to both Fantawild Adventure
Parks in Fujian and Zhengzhou;
Maurer is delivering a “SkyWheel” to

EXHIBITION
Eizein Freij and son

the largest showman enterprise
worldwide
The team and the
exhibition stand of Chinese
manufacturer Golden Horse
the park in Zhengzhou. Following the installations
at World Joyland and Wuhans Happy Valley, this is
the third “SkyWheel” for China within two years.
Investments are also being made in western Asia:
Golden Horse is delivering a water attraction and a
“Splash Battle” to Chengdu. In the capital of the
Republic of Tajikistan, which boarders China, a new
park is being completed. Most of the 31 ride constructions
will be delivered by Preston & Barbieri
(among others a Swing Boat, a Wave Swing, and
Ghost House). The Ferris Wheel for the park stems
from Fabbri. Fabbri was also able to sell a wheel to
neighbouring Turkmenistan; both attractions are 60
metres high.
In Taipei on the island country of Taiwan the
government operated Family Park is moving to new
grounds. The rundown ride constructions will be
replaced completely by new versions, delivered by
Fabbri, I.E. Park and Bertazzon. In addition to a
number of round rides there will also be a Ferris
Wheel and a small coaster.
In south-east Asia Legoland Malaysia, ride constructions
from Intamin, Mack und Zierer are waiting
to open, and in Singapore Intamin is currently
installing a similar ride system to the “Chute the
Chutes” for an action filled open river ride. Universal
Studios in Singapore already opened a new simulation
darkride in December – named “The Transformers”.
Preston & Barbieri have sold another two ride constructions
to Indonesia: in the first example children
can climb into racing cars as is the case of the
attraction opened last year in Bandung – the second
version offers jeeps.
In Japan the “Toy Story Mania”-ride at DisneySea
opened on the 9 th of July, and Universal Studios
Japan has announced the transformation of its
“World of Oz” theme area into a “Harry Potter
World”.
For the first time the new “Polercoaster” concept
was introduced at the Asian Expo by US Thrill
Rides, or alternatively S&S. Up until now, new
announcements were always made during the IAA-
PA Exhibition in the November of the relevant year.
The S&S licensed concept combines a viewing tower
and coaster ride on a compact ground plan, and
94

is ideal for parks with a shortage of space. The introduction
of the concept not only emphasises the
great value of the Asian market for S&S in particular
– in the past two years five coasters could be
sold to China – but also the meaning of the Asian
market for the whole branch in general.
Other manufacturers were also enthusiastic about
the ongoing activity in Asia, where planning and
development of new projects are less obstructed
by bureaucracy than in the west. One exception in
this regard is the approval of completed ride
constructions by the Chinese regulating authority
CSEI. However, so long as compliance to safety
standards is shown to have priority, there are
usually no great problems.
On the Thursday of the exhibition, a successful
completion of a contract was announced at the
Mack stand with the Galadari Group for the construction
of a mega-coaster in a new park in Dubai.
The attraction will have the same layout as the “blue
fire” at Europa Park, but will run partly indoors.
For the first time at an Asian Expo there was also a
copyright office that could be contacted when
infringement of copyright could be established by
an exhibitor. In the past there have been repeated
episodes of Asian manufacturers advertising ride
constructions or very similar constructions in their
catalogues, which were of western manufacture
origin. In the case of such situations this year,
materials were immediately confiscated or the
stand was closed.
The feedback to questions
about the progress of the
exhibition was mixed: nobody
of course complained
however in many
cases the response was
that results were far better
the year before. This
doesn’t necessarily have to
be bad news as the exhibition
returns to Singapore
once again next year. This
time though at the Marina
Bay Sands Hotel, and not
to the island of Sentosa. ■

EAS 2012 IN BERLIN
Europe’s largest exhibition for
the amusement industry, the
Euro Attractions Show, returns
to Germany in 2012. After last
year’s success in London where
a record number of exhibitors
were greeted, it appears that
those responsible have made
the right decision in choosing
Berlin as the next exhibition location:
at the beginning of August,
the announcement was
made that a fifth exhibition hall
had to be added due to the
countless enquiries regarding
stand availability.
Photo: Marcus Klepper
More than 350 exhibitors are expected to present
their products in over 100 categories:
offering from coasters, Ferris Wheels, and water
slides to inflatables, mini-golf courses and 4D cinemas,
right up to theming and design firms, ticket
systems and software.
The Euro Attractions Show (EAS) has developed
over the past years to become the meeting point for
the European amusement industry, and so once
again the leaders of the recreation industry from over
100 countries are expected this year. The EAS has
proved to be a reliable opportunity to exchange information
with international experts within the
branch, right before the front door so to speak, to be
informed about the latest products and innovations,
and to learn in the conference programme from leading
“best practices” theme parks in Europe.
The exhibition will open officially on the 9 th October
at 10:45 a.m. with a short show (with energetic support
from prominent IAAPA-members).
In addition to the extensive seminar programme with
presentations to the themes Social Media, Price and
Discount Politics, as well as new markets (Poland,
Russia and Turkey will be the centre point here), the
Opening Reception will also – as tradition has it –
take place on the first evening for exhibitors and visitors
in the neighbouring palais at the Radio Tower
Berlin. There will be enough opportunity to exchange
experiences and to network whilst enjoying drinks,
snacks, and a number of surprises. Somewhat later
in the evening the branch juniors will have a rendezvous
at the Young Professional Reception.
The second exhibition day will begin with the Leadership
Breakfast, when Europa-Park-owner and
IAAPA-President Roland Mack as well as the CEO
from PortAventura, Fernando Aldecoa, will give a
lecture on the history, the present and the future of
both parks, and will give an insight into their sustainable
development.
On the second day of the exhibition there will be further
seminars regarding themes amongst others, regarding
safety, Halloween and other events, guest
services, trends in the F&B industry with representatives
of notable manufacturers from this sector, and
how one can increase profit through environmental
sustainability. Thursday and the third day will be dedicated
to the FEC/indoor park sector. In cooperation
with the Deutscher Hallenspielplätze Verband (German
Indoor Park Association), IAAPA was successful
in enticing five speakers to Berlin to lecture about
start-ups, successful operating models, and the
future of the industry and promotional possibilities for
such attractions.
There will be a special behind the scenes view and
talks with operators who are offering tours to Tropical
Islands (Monday 8th October), and to the Film
Park Babelsberg (Thursday 11th October). For those
who still haven’t had enough, there’s still the possibility
of participation in the small group, three-day
“EAS Post Tour”, during which Heide-Park, Hansa-
Park and the Hagenbeck Zoo can be visited.
The Euro Attractions Show has developed to be the
most important European branch meeting over the
past few years, and one should not miss the opportunity
to visit! The Kirmes & Park Revue is naturally
represented at our stand: we will be thrilled to greet
you in Hall 11.2 – Stand 181.
As a special offer, EAS visitors can take advantage
of a special rate with the Deutschen Bahn (German
Railway) for just 99 Euro return in the second class
section. More information under:

will be added: the “Gravitron” with an
alien theme, a “Disk’O”, and a “Haunted House”
Darkride. Classic attractions such as “Scrambler”,

TWO NEW PARK-PROJECTS FOR EUROPE?
establishments (in depth details about this project
in KPR 12/2011). Leading the way was first the
purchase of land in March; the project will
apparently develop on 171.6 hectares, cost
around 700 to 800 million Euro, and bring about
22,000 new jobs that Spain so urgently needs. No
wonder then that almost all political parties are
positive about this project.
Building contractor is Proyectos Emblemáticos
Murcianos S.A. (PREMURSA), with foundation
members being the Santa Mónica Financial
Services S.L., the Región de Murcia Turistica S.A.
and the national Paramount-licence owner, Instituto
de Fomento de la Región de Murcia. Already
3 million visitors have been prognosticated for the
first year.

Despite all prophecies of doom, two large projects
in the European amusement industry officially
started in the past few weeks, both with a
planned opening in 2015. In the Spanish backcountry
and also in central Poland the first turn
of the spade took place with great interest from
the media.
Paramount Park Spain
The laying of the foundation stone was celebrated
in Alhama de Murcia, around 30 minutes by car
from the Mediterranean coast, and marks the beginning
of the construction of the first Paramount-
Park on European soil, together with two theme
hotels and a gigantic LifeStyle Centre with City
Walk-element, more hotels, apartments and other
Those involved with the large project near the
capital of Warsaw also want to do the job properly
and as quickly as possible: it was first in July
2011 that the big plans were introduced to the astounded
public, and already on the 21 st July the
first turning of the spade took place.
Adventure World Warsaw should open in 2015 –
and with that a year later than initially planned – as
the first modern theme park in Eastern Europe,
and right from the start wants to be compared to
the great top theme parks in the European amusement
industry, such as Disneyland Paris, Efteling
and Europa-Park. The envisioned visitor numbers
have once again been corrected upwards (!): at
this stage 2.6 million visitors are expected in the
first year, and in the following years after all building
phases have been completed, 4.6 million
annual guests. This large number will apparently
not only be generated by the theme park and its
five theme lands with 50 attractions (among them
24 ride constructions mainly from Vekoma, Mack,
Hafema and Zamperla), but also by two theme
hotels with 800 rooms, a large indoor-water park,
and a City Walk-element for shopping and regular
evening entertainment (in depth details in KPR
9/2011).
The 230 hectare sized project, directly on the
motorway between Warsaw and Berlin that should
be finished by then, has an investment volume of
620 to 750 million Euro, and should provide
around 3,000 new jobs.
Peter Jan Mulder, President of Adventure World
Warsaw Parks & Resorts (AWW), and the Luxemburg
located Las Palm sp.z o.o.: “Adventure World
Warsaw will be a compelling new brand that will
command the attention of families and young
adults. It will immediately join the ranks of the
world’s top theme parks and resorts when it opens
its gates.”

ADVENTURE WORLD ABU DHABI

Frank Lanfer
Maybe it is just a kind of megalomania: Although
the first Adventure World Project has just made
it to the starting blocks, businessman Peter Jan
Mulder wants to place already a second project
with the same contents and form in the desert
sands of Abu Dhabi – even the “Polski Plaza”,
one of the Polish theme areas will also be
included.
The total costs of the Arabian Adventure
World have been estimated to be 900
million US Dollars. The chosen location is
the artificial island Saadiyat, not too far from the
neighbouring Yas Island where the weakening
Ferrari World stands. Peter Jan Mulder emphasised
that initially the Warsaw project will be concentrated
on, however: “The Adventure World concept will
be implemented in Abu Dhabi within a partnership
and cooperation with Adventure World Warsaw.
Adventure World Abu Dhabi will be one of the
largest year-round themed parks in this part of the
Middle East.”

FERRARI WORLD ASIA

Frank Lanfer
By all accounts currently the Italian car company
Ferrari S.p.A. – is, to put it mildly, not
amused about the results and the popularity of
Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi, and in the meantime
fears even image damage that could come from
the launching of another theme park project.
This time however in the promising Asian area,
more precisely in the small town of Paju, located
around 50 kilometres outside South Korea’s capital
Seoul. This of course has caused the city authorities
of Paju to start dreaming. With the settling in of
Ferrari World there would be 30,000 new residents,
which would mean a complete transformation of the
city: in addition to the indoor-theme park, there
would be a large shopping mall and other recreational
facilities established, making it the number
one leisure city of South Korea.

PREVIEW: NEW TOP-ATTRACTIONS FOR 2013
As was the case last year: the
current season is already running
with full (coaster) trains, and
already occasional novelty announcements
for the upcoming
year are being pointedly placed
– especially by American operators,
who are unable to offer new
attractions in the still running
year.

And as there are in some cases spectacular
announcements, we do not wish to wait until the
current season is over, but to inform our readers
right now.
Silver Dollar City
After the first attempt in the modern era to build a
wooden coaster with looping failed disastrously,
there is now another attempt being made to realize
this spectacular combination.
In 2000, Kings Island commissioned Roller Coaster
Corporation of America (RCCA) to erect the highest
wooden coaster in the world, and added to that a
vertical looping of steel in the track course. However,
after a number of accidents, improvements to
the track and construction, and the removal of the
loop in 2006, the 2,143 m long and 64 m high “Son
of Beast” was put out of operation in 2009.
However now Silver Dollar City in Missouri (a company
of the Hershend Family Entertainment Group)
and the US manufacturer Rocky Mountain Construction,
short RMC, are daringly making another
attempt – and what an attempt!
The barely 50 m high wooden construction “Outlaw
Run” is already being built, and in addition to the
81° steep drop – the steepest on a wooden coaster
– there will also be further elements that until now
have only been offered on steel looping coasters.
These are, apart from a spectacular 153° angled
summit, the two Heartline-Rolls at the end of the 895
m long track course.
Ascertained however is the fact that both 24-seat
trains run on steel tracks during their one and half
minute run, similar more to a steel coaster – and
only a Backbone or something the like is missing.
And this track bed of steel will be supported by a
massive wooden construction. So the question is –
what amount of steel is permissible for a construction
to be considered as a pure wooden coaster.
Regardless however if “Outlaw Run” will be called
a wooden coaster or even a Hybrid Coaster, it’s
certain even now that it will be a refreshing and
different coaster layout.

Cedar Point
California’s Great America
For a long time, the theme park in the north of the
US state of Ohio has had its nose pointed to the
front when it had anything to do with the title “Roller
Coaster Capital of the World”. Then the park
appeared to concentrate on other ride attractions
other than exclusively coasters, but with the announcement
of a new coaster it appears to be the
media for a new world record.
Looking closely at the “Gate Keeper” it’s neither the
highest, fastest or longest construction, but “only”
in the special subgroup of the “Wing Coaster”, it will
be the highest and fastest construction in the world.
Nevertheless the facts are impressive: “Gate Keeper”
will be almost 1,700 m long and almost 52 m
high, and the 3 trains rush at up to 107 km/h over a
very interestingly designed layout.
The chosen name without a doubt refers to the
spectacular course execution that travels partially
over the entrance, as room, especially for large
coasters for which Cedar Point is famous for, has
not been available on the island on Lake Erie for a
long time.
In the past decade, the once grandiose Northern
Californian theme park Paramount’s Great America
was robbed of its best three roller
coasters by its own new parent
company (in 2006 Cedar Fair LP took
over the park) – the reason was intensions
to close as the city prevented
new attractions for fear of noise
pollution, and because the construction
of a new football stadium on parts
of the visitor parking area was already
decided.
However, there is a deciding change to
report now: following an agreement
with the San Francisco 49ers football
club and after the city had given building
permission for new attractions, the
construction of a 940 m long and 33 m
high wooden coaster from Great
Coasters International has been announced.
Originally this project was
already planned for 2009.

April at the Norwegian
theme park located

The coaster construction
is a used attraction
from Italian theme
park Mirabilandia, which also belongs to the
Parques Reunidos Group. There, the 335 m long
and 13 m high Junior Coaster with two 20-seat
trains that reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h was
operated for ten years under the name of “Family
Adventure”.
Being far-sighted in those days and producing a
semitransparent construction with a sole was a
benefit with the location change: the conversion of
the track attraction and the build up on level concrete
without any costly individual foundations was
possible. However at the time of acquisition of the
coaster (built 2001) both Mirabilandia and Tusenfryd
were not yet under the umbrella of the same
park group.

Steelman Partners
The famous and notorious Steel Pier in the
gambling metropolis Atlantic City in the US Sate
of New Jersey has existed since 1898 – so time
for basic renovation and restructuring.
For this assignment, Anthony Catanoso, President
of Steel Pier Associates, LLC, engaged the expert
team from Steelman Partners. A 2-year-programme
will change the historic pier to a family attraction,
and with that give the city a new and better image.
Anthony Catanosa: “Our goal is to attract more families
and be a part of showcasing non-gaming attractions
in Atlantic City.”
All in all, looking it at it from an architectural viewpoint,
the pier now looks more “tidied up“ than earlier,
and is less a planless confusion of attractions.■

Ferris Wheel from where visitors can take their

event that the total project from real estate mogul

will follow, such as a coaster.
You separated from the Mack firm as
Management Associate in 1999, and were then
self employed with your engineering office in
the areas of project management and planning,
and also advisor to various theme parks for
more than a decade, and have now joined Swiss
Rides AG as CEO.
Swiss Rides is a 100-percent subsidiary of the
very successful Bartholet Maschinenbau AG in
Flums, specialising in cable car technology. Swiss
Rides is focusing on theme park facilities. Company
boss Roland Bartholet courted me rather
intensively. And now I’m a little proud that I can
contribute my competence to a young and dynamic
team at the age of 56.
And you have already acquired a noteworthy
contract?
Swiss Rides AG is building 32 gondolas for a
152 metre high Ferris Wheel in Las Vegas. It is the
largest single order in the company’s history. The
size of the order is definitely in the double-digit
million area.
Momentarily there are a number of Ferris
Wheels in planning in Las Vegas. What is the
unusual?
We are the first. And we build real glass palaces.
A total of 2,000 square metres of glass is being
processed in the factories in Flums. Even the floors
will be transparent. Here we use armoured glass –
23 millimetres thick. Each gondola is approximately
23 square metres in size, completely air-conditioned,
and offers place for up to 25 passengers.
The inside area will be so prepared logistically that
a cocktail reception or a birthday party can take
place at any time.
But how do you achieve stability with such
an extreme load?
A classical steel construction cases the glass.
A gondola weighs around 7.5 ton on the scales.
That achieves stability and in particular safety at
such an exorbitant height. But that wasn’t our
greatest challenge.
What was?
Our engineers have invested a lot of creativity
and innovation in the suspension. Our objective is
a freely hanging gondola. The phenomenal view of
Las Vegas should not be impaired by steel bracing
or anything else. So the solution is a type of triangle

THEME PARK IN TIBET
Text:
H. Jürgen Kagelmann
The news was surprising: a huge theme park is
planned in the so-called self-governing region
of Tibet.
According to the view of one of the few official
Chinese press agencies, Xinhua, which spreads information
as well as statements from governmentcritical
organisations, the situation is as follows: the
“China Tibet Culture & Tourism Creative Park” is to
come into being on a ground area of 8 km 2 , located
around two kilometres from the city of Lhasa. The
costs should be approximately 4.7 billion US-$. The
attraction will apparently contain a museum, a
shopping district, a new residential area, and a
large theme park with possibly seven theme areas.
One-third of the development costs will be taken
over by a conglomerate of 13 Chinese firms; foreign
investors are not involved at this stage. The completion
of the total complex is expected to take four
to five years.
Interestingly the new plans will contain effective
theming, with the design being concentrated on the
historic figure, the Princess Wen Cheng from the 7 th
century. Additionally visitors will be familiarised with
the folk medicine and folklore of Tibet. The Vice
Lord Mayor of Lhasa, Ma Xinming, defines the park
as a “living museum” with educational aspirations.
The Chinese leaders emphasise two things: firstly
the intention to encourage inland tourism through a
large park (from the 8.5 million to now, the visitor
numbers should increase to 15 million within the
next few years), and secondly educational – or
better said ideological – objectives should be
pursued. The central princess figure is considered
as a symbol of the peaceful coexistence between
the folk of Tibet and of China.
The daughter of the sovereign, Li Shimin from the
Chinese Tang-Dynasty, travels as a 16 year old
3,000 kilometres through China to Tibet to become
the (second) wife of the legendary Kong Songtsan
Gambo – a pretty example of ethnic harmony with
the background message that Tibet had already
belonged to China for many centuries.
It is in any case these two aspects that have caused
partially very aggressive commentary from the
Tibetan opposition. A theme park in the holy city of
Lhasa would basically be rejected, although looking
at it at another angle, there have been small
parks there for a long time. However it’s the political
arguments that are mostly the centre point: the –
from Chinese for Chinese – planned park will ruin
the Tibetan culture.
For all non-Chinese theme park fans, the news of
the pending founding is probably not particularly
relevant as currently there is once again an entry
ban for foreigners into Tibet, and it’s not very probable
that the Chinese government even thinks
about changing its rigid policies within the next few
years. Whether there will be unique attractions at
this “Culture Park” – or even if the whole project will
come into being – still stands in the stars. ■
