KALEIDOSCOPE
LACH+FREU-HAUS
New at Eugen Distel’s
“Lach+Freu-Haus”: “Sepp”
and pretty “Resi”
Equipped with
new LED lighting:
the rolling barrels
Text & Photos: Norman Vogt
The “Lach+Freu-Haus” from the Munich
showman Eugen Distel has held a top position
among Funhouse constructions for
some years now. With the figures “Resi”,
“Sepp”, and the speaking moose “Hubertus”,
Distel has now truly put the icing on the cake.
Having surprised us all with new effects and gimmicks
– such as the addition of a large barn – at
the beginning of every new season, the
"Lach+Freu-Haus”
now features Resi
and Sepp, loudly
talking to each other
in Bavarian dialect.
Resi is a pretty, busty
girl with a voluptuous
Dirndl décolleté,
who is sitting on
the gable of the barn
roof, legs sexily
straddled, talking to
her friend Sepp, who
is standing on top of
the bell tower on the
roof of the "Lach+Freu-Haus”. Crowd favourite
"Hubertus”, the singing and speaking moose, interjects
their dialogue every now and then. The
new figures were built by the Hofmann firm. By
the way, in case the voices of "Resi” and "Sepp”
sound familiar, they are the voices of the owner
of the "Lach+Freu-Haus” and his wife. The dialogues
written by Eugen Distel were recorded in
a professional sound studio in Frankfurt/Main. At
the Pfingstkirmes in Menden the zany trio
caused quite a furore for the first time. Another
novelty feature at the "Lach+Freu-Haus” is the installation
of brighter and more efficient lights at
the rolling barrels, providing for amazing effects,
especially when watched through the fun spectacles
handed out to the visitors. This season,
Distel’s "Lach+Freu-Haus” will be presented at,
among other venues, Düsseldorf, Paderborn,
Straubing, Crailsheim and Munich. ■

SKY GOAL
KALEIDOSCOPE
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
At this year’s spring market in Karlsruhe, held
on the Messplatz just before the start of the
European Football Championship in Poland
and Ukraine, a tall and rather strange construction
caused quite a stir. It was the probably
largest and loftiest football goal in the
world, the “Sky Goal”.
The gigantic goal was presented by Falko Traber
from Freiburg to mark the occasion of the
centenary of the Karlsruhe Messplatz. The special
event was organised by the Karlsruhe administration
and the Karlsruhe Showman Association
and sponsored by, among others, the
Real supermarket chain, and the EnBW power
company. For a voluntary donation, daring visitors
could board a hoisting cage taking them up
to a height of some 20 metres. From up there they
could try to shoot 6 balls at the huge goal and
sink them into three holes (diameter: 1.40 m)
An eye catcher at the
Karlsruhe Frühjahrsmarkt:
Traber’s “Sky Goal”
from a distance of 11 metres. Considering the
crowds forming in front of the construction even
on slower attendance days, this special action
was apparently great fun for the participants and
fairground visitors alike. The donations received
went to the German Child Relief Organisation. ■

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This is a letter to the editor pertaining to the article
in the Kirmes & Park Revue June issue
about the Caterpillar Ride, and the question as
to where one of the published photos was taken.
While leafing through the June issue of the Kirmes
& Park Revue, a photo in the "Raupenbahn” article
on page 37 immediately caught my eye. You wrote
that there "were no records” as to where it had been
taken. I am happy to be able to tell you that it is a
photo from the Fronleichnamskirmes in Köln-Mülheim.
In the background, you can see the prominent
steeple of the Herz-Jesu-Kirche, and the street
behind the fairground is the Deutz-Mülheim Straße.
The photographer back then took the photo standing
on the Mülheim Bridge. I received the same
photo from a friend of mine some years ago. Even
though the year of the photo given to me was 1970,
it may well have already been taken in 1965 as mentioned
in the picture caption.
Yours faithfully, Jürgen Nießen, Cologne ■

MAXXIMUM 2
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
Gregory Kopp and
his novelty “Maxximum 2”
While he had already presented his Mondial “Airmaxx”
in its new, futuristic paint work at the previous
venue (Nancy), French showman Gregory
Kopp presented his newly purchased Propeller
“Maxximum 2” at the Foire du Mai in Metz for the
first time.
Kopp took over the "Maxximum 2” – which is called "Infinity”
at Mondial, and is a further development of the
"Capriolo” with a rotating gondola – from the previous
owner Bazin at relatively short notice. Even though
Bazin celebrated the première of this prototype only in
the autumn of 2010, he has now already parted with it
– yet again. The attraction in predominating silver has
been equipped with numerous LED lights. Relocating
the more than 50-metre high looping ride with ground
measurements of 16.5 x 9.5 metres and electrical requirements
of 65 kW requires two transport vehicles.
This season, the "Maxximum 2” will be presented at,
among other venues, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Epinal,
Luxembourg and Rouen. And what will now happen to
the "Airmaxx”, Kopp’s other Mondial Propeller? Its
transports were parked in Metz, and in the summer the
construction will appear at the Amigoland in Grau-du-
Roi under Kopp management.

GHOST
There are a lot of new
elements on Burghard’s “Ghost”
Text: Michael Petersen
Photos: Michael Petersen, Nils Benthien
At the start of the season, Johann
Otto Burghard from
Hamm considerably extended
the outside area of his
multi-storey Walkthroughconstruction
“Ghost”, and
presented many new gimmicks
and effects.
The addition of the "Geisterfluss”,
or Ghost River to the outside area, followed
previous changes to the inside of the construction.
Before the visitors reach the entrance
to the construction, they first have to negotiate
treacherous obstacles, such as a shaking
bridge, moving tree-trunks, and jumping floors.

Moreover, a large crocodile and other frightening
creatures lurk in the water! Exiting the
construction, visitors have to overcome yet
many more obstacles along the "Geisterfluss”
once again. Burghard built this new
water element himself, consisting of two 9 x
2.5 metre water basins and holding about
4,000 litres of water each. Dismantled, the
two aluminium basins can be easily
transported on a car trailer. Visitors can hold
fast on thick bamboo poles, which also give
the new outside area the perfect visual finish.
Water jets now cascading from the skulls
on the outer façades provide the visitors with
an invigorating cooling down. Another new
feature is the large, moving animated figure
on top of the paybox.

PSYCHO
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
Now under management
of Bergmann: “Psycho”
One of the most prominent
and successful Funhouse attractions
of the 1980s and
1990s, which was sold to the
Dutch showman Kriek by the
Pluschies firm some years
ago before disappearing
from the German fairgrounds,
has now reappeared
again. The Munich showman Arnd
“Andi” Bergmann has taken over the construction.
The comeback of the attraction built by the Dietz
firm in 1984 was celebrated at the Worms
Pfingstmarkt. When the "Psycho” was put up for
sale last year, Arnd Bergmann was immediately
interested, and inspected the construction during
an appearance in Prague. A contract was
entered into in December and shortly before
New Year’s Eve the purchase contract was
signed. Earlier this year, Arnd Bergmann picked
up the five transport vehicles in Riga, Latvia,
where the "Psycho” had been presented under
Kriek management for the last time. On arrival at
the Bergman premises in Regensburg, Germany,
the construction was built up and renovated.
The electronic system was brought up to the
latest standards, the outer façade was repainted,
new tunnels were installed and new laser and
fog effects were incorporated. Further changes
are to be carried out in the coming months.
Neither the construction itself nor "Claire”, the
tree lady in front of it have lost their attractiveness
and appeal, and even live actors have
been engaged! This season, Bergmann’s "Psycho”
will be presented at, among other venues,
Idar-Oberstein and Regensburg. Further venues
are currently being planned, including several
top events abroad.

HENRY’S BUBBLE TEA

Henry Karl-Heinz Hempen
and his new attraction
The Oldenburg showman Henry Karl-
Heinz Hempen presented his new
“Henry’s Bubble Tea” attraction at
the Maikirmes in Nordhorn.
Earlier this year, the attraction was
planned by designers, built by Hempen
himself, manually painted by the Airbrush
Atelier Sly firm, and equipped
with a lighting system by the Ebeling
Licht GmbH firm. The shop , which was
completed shortly before the première,
has ground measurements of 4 x 3 metres.
Hempen comes from a traditional
showman family. With "Henry’s Bubble
Tea”, the young man has now become an independent
showman.
According to the owner, he attaches much importance
to quality and offers the original Bubble
Tea with tea freshly brewed before the eyes
of the customers and pure fruit syrup. As a first
step, the customer chooses a drink from the
menu offering black tea, green tea, milk or yoghurt
to which ice cubes are added. The second
step is to choose from eight different flavours
available, before the almost finished tea is shaken
in a special Bubble Tea shaker. During the
third step in the process, customers pick their
bubbles from ten different classic tapioca pearls
available. In the end, the Bubble Tea is poured
into cups and sealed.

TORNADO 4-D
Klaus Grubart and his new ride
“Tornado 4-D”
Text & Photos:
Norman Vogt
A new Miami has been introduced at the Frühlingsfest
in Wangen/Allgäu: the “Tornado 4-
D” from Klaus Grubart from Isny, built by the
Czech Confolding firm.
The tag 4-D relates to additional effects, as passengers
are confronted with wind, water, lightning
and fog during on the attraction. The construction
is very colourful, and the artwork on the
backflash is entirely dedicated to the chosen
theme. The speedy ride experience can be enjoyed
by up to 18 passengers simultaneously.
The 15-metre long and 5.5-metre wide ride
mounted on a (3-axle) transport vehicle was
ordered last December and arrived in the Allgäu
with a delay of five weeks. The lighting system is
equipped with LED-technology. The ride's compact
and space-saving design is enhanced by
the paybox being incorporated into the centrepiece.
Grubart’s Miami "Tornado 4 D” will be
mainly presented in Bavaria, among others in Olching,
Isny, and Bad Schussenried. ■

COCO BONGO

Stroucken’s “Coco Bongo”

Patrick Vanstipelen
The Stroucken family surprised the public with
their new Funhouse construction “Coco Bongo”
in Holland.
The 2-level attraction has been built on the base
of an already existing construction. The ground
level offers a labyrinth with a narrow suspended
bridge leading to the first level, and a walk-through
course with a water basin is located in front of the
construction. At first glance, expert visitors knew
immediately which 2011 Walkthrough novelty from
Germany the "Coco Bongo” was (unintentionally)
modelled on. This impression was further emphasized
at the reception pavilion, where visitors were
handed Hawaii necklaces. Première event of the
"Coco Bongo” was the Sint-Servaaskirmes in Maastricht,
further venues this season will be among
others Eindhoven, Den Bosch, and Nijmegen. ■

New in France is the “Cinema 3-D” from French
showman van Belinghen.
The attraction requiring only one transport vehicle
is built up with the shorter side facing the front. Then
each bay is pulled out to the left and right sides respectively,
and the staircases are affixed. This
done, the build up is almost completed. The paybox
and the control stand form a unit. A screen providing
information and animation for the visitors is
situation above the paybox. The 3-D-experience
(the side tarpaulin is even marked "4-D”) also offers
a number of air and water effects. Inside the cinema
different films a presented alternately. ■

KRAFTWERK
NEW PRODUCTS
The draft of Lorena
Zinnecker’s “Kraftwerk”
Text: Ralf Schmitt
Photos: Archive Zinnecker
After the report on the new Technical park project
“Wild Spark” in the Kirmes & Park Revue
March issue, it has now been disclosed just
who will be the new owner of this novelty in
Germany: Lorena Zinnecker from Munich.
The ride with the bouncing gondolas will be called
"Kraftwerk” and is to celebrate its première
punctually for the beginning of the season 2013.
The "Kraftwerk” ride is 17 metres in diameter including
an integrated backflash. A new type of hydraulic
waist restraint allowing for increased
speed has been announced as a special innovation.
According to the Zinnecker family, the control
sequence was provided "by the best Spanish experts
for this technology”. The seats are made of
carbon, and a completely new type of lighting
technology is to be installed. The "Kraftwerk” ride
consists of two transport vehicles: 1 centre trailer
and 1 baggage van.

As usual at this time of the
year, the St. Sebastianus
Schützenverein Düsseldorf
1316 e.V. invites the public to
its Schützen and Heimatfest
in the state capital. Once
again, more than 4 million
visitors from near and far will
happily accept the invitation.
From 13 th to 22 nd July, the
meadow between Oberkassel
Bridge and Rhein-Knie-
Bridge in the exclusive Düsseldorf
district of Oberkassel
will be transformed into a fantastic
amusement world: a
fair event in the capital city of
North-Rhine Westphalia – the
“largest fair on the Rhine”.
Text: Michael Petersen

Düsseldorf
To this day, the Schützen und Heimatfest,
voluntarily organised by the St. Sebastianus
Schützenverein Düsseldorf 1316 e.V., is the best
crowd puller in the state capital; even more so
than many trade fairs, sports, and other events.
The Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen Fair is the ultimate
highlight in the city’s event calendar. It is not only
an excellent show piece for the state capital, but
also the showcase for the German showman industry.
The first-class Volksfest in terms of quality
and quantity, which is newly laid out every
year, carefully combining traditional and modern
attractions, offers visitors an unparalleled
panorama. From the two Rhine bridges or the
spacious Rhine promenade in the adjacent medieval
city centre, visitors have a unique view of
a vast number of ride and funhouse attractions.
The “Rheinwiesen”, as the fair is lovingly called,
has a lot of charm and flair. It is something special
and offers extraordinary experiences. It has
its individual character, very special charm, and
exudes a sheer 'love of life'. Since last year, the
event has been extended by one day. Due
to the public's changed recreational behaviour,
the largest fair on the Rhine will already
begin again this year on the Friday precisely
at 2 p.m. While the fair will be officially
opened at the main entrance next to the water
ride, the opening celebration will once again be
held in the Diebels beer tent. According to tradition,
the Schützenfest will be opened at 3 p.m.
on Saturday. The magnificent opening with the
flag bearers’ procession and a music programme
will be held in the decorated Schützen
hall. The Schützenverein has once again decided
in favour of two opening events; an acceptable
decision that does not mean a separation
between the Schützenfest and the fair. The two
belong together and have equal significance.
Just as last year, the Düsseldorf media picked
up on the issues of security and affordability of
this voluntarily organised mega event. The event
can hardly be adequately financed anymore, so
the organiser is dependent on sponsors. Last
year’s security concept had to be modified
again, as there was hardly any room left in the
“Alpina-Bahn” area in the evening of the fireworks
display due to a deluge of visitors rushing
to the fairground from all directions. The resulting
‘Gordian knot’ was unravelled with the aid of
the security personnel. This year, there will be an
21

SPECIAL SECTION
Presented once again:
“Bellevue” Ferris Wheel and
“Konga” Swing
additional, almost 6-metre wide escape route towards
the banks of the Rhine, next to the coaster.
Moreover, the security forces are to guide visitors
right from the onset, and only in one direction
if necessary. “Oncoming visitor masses” are
to be prevented at peak times. Necessary steps
will be taken according to observations from up
to 40 security officers watching the crowd. All
other security measures will be the same as last
year. The new “Exit North” along the water ride
to prevent oncoming streams of visitors for example,
will once again reduce the number of visitors
using the main entrance. The beer tents
from the Düsseldorf breweries are another fixture
at the largest fair on the Rhine. They are meeting
points and party locations for Rhineland
joviality, a smaller version of the party-mile in the
Düsseldorf medieval city centre one might say.
It has to be said too that these tents are still a
general crowd puller. Nonetheless, the organiser
will be anxious to ensure that beer tent operators
are playing by the rules once again this
year. Loud music is to be prevented not only for
the good of all participants, but also in the interest
of complaining residents living in the direct
vicinity. Last year’s cancellation of the legendary
Füchschen tent on the grounds of the new security
concept providing for lower capacity,
which caused quite a furore, is now to be forgotten.
The Düsseldorf cult brewery will return to
the Rheinwiesen with a new and considerably
larger beer tent, built up on a different site. The
“Bayern-Festhalle” will not return to Düsseldorf.
Its site will be occupied by the new Füchschen
tent elaborately decorated and with a spacious
outdoor area. After the Schumacher brewery,
this will be the second new beer tent on the
Rheinwiese within two years. The tents of the other
breweries will occupy their usual sites, just as
will the “Tiroler Dorf” and the “Alpenwelt” (Renoldi).
The latter is to be even more attractively laid
out and designed this year. A new name on the
list of attractions is the “Bayerischer Biergarten”
from the Hölzgen firm, which will be built up in
the southern entrance area at the Schützenstraße.
Four major novelties will make their
débuts at the largest fair on the Rhine. The multistorey
Ghost Ride “Geisterstadt” from the Fellerhoff
family is looking forward to the first appearance
with this attraction, equipped with new
animated figures in the outdoor area, in their
home town. For the first time, the Kaiser firm from
Munich will present the “Rio Rapidos” Rafting,
providing for a good deal of a lot of 'cooling off'
and ride fun in Düsseldorf. Moreover, the “Amazonas”
Funhouse from Agtsch will offer its visitors
a great adventure with live animals, and with
the “Voodoo Jumper” Hans Otto Schäfer will present
a new attractive ride. Novelty attractions
can also be discovered among the concession
stalls. The Traber firm will prepare Flammlachs
(grilled salmon) on the Rheinwiese, and an ample
range of fish specialities will be served at the
“Gastmahl des Meeres” (Otto). Additionally, the
“Fliegende Frösche” (Scheffer) will be a new addition
in the games booth sector. The St. Sebastianus
Schützenverein Düsseldorf 1316 e.V. not
only preserves the Schützen tradition, but also
presents an interesting selection of traditional
ride and Funhouse attractions that can also be
found on the Rheinwiesen every year. Nostalgic
fairground attractions have been a fixture at this
largest fair on the Rhine for decades. Up to now,
these classic attractions were spread all over the
fairground, now these show pieces will be concentrated
in one section as a small historic fair
within the Rheinwiesenkirmes 2012. In addition
to the “Schwarzwald-Christel” gastronomy in the
22

ay on the Radschlägerstraße
(dike side), Schleifer’s Gallopers
will occupy the top end site
at the entrance to the bay, Fischer’s
indispensable “Toboggan”
will be built up directly at
the dike, and the “Selbstfahrer”
from Richard Müller at the exit.
Moreover, the section at the
Radschlägerstraße will accommodate
the “Looping-
Schaukel” (von Olnhausen)
directly opposite the Caterpillar
Ride from Steiger/Buchholz.
And where will the other attractions
be placed this time? A
stroll across the Rheinwiesenfairground
will start at the main
entrance and the large “Wildwasserbahn”
from Löwenthal.
Built up further along on the
right side of the Radschlägerstraße
on the dike side will be
the “Omni” (Kinzler), “Geisterstadt”
(Fellerhoff), chain ride
(Fuhrmann), “Lach+Freu-
Haus” (Distel), “Spinning Racer”
(Bruch), and “Rotor”
(Pluschies). Having passed
the “Schwarzwald-Christel”,
visitors will encounter the
aforementioned nostalgic fair
and the “Booster Maxxx”
(Hoefnagels/Denies). The topend
site opposite the water
ride will be occupied by
Kaiser’s major ride “Skater” this

year, followed by the “Südseewellen” (Barth),
“Nessy” (Markmann), “Diamond” dodgem track
(Hartkopf/Osselmann), “Shake” (Schäfer), and
“Amazonas” (Agtsch) located further along, in
the central area of the Radschlägerstraße. In the
bay area, the new rapid ride “Rio Rapidos”
(Kaiser), “Superrutsche” (Göbel), “Raupe”
(Steiger/Buchholz), “Kristall-Palast” (Sturm),
and Krameyer‘s “Big Monster” will entice the visitors.
As a result, the Polyp will assume the role
of the long-established Caterpillar Ride. In the
Schützenstraße, the “Bellevue” Ferris Wheel
(Bruch) will once again be the landmark of the
Rheinwiesen fair. As was the case last year, the
sites in this area will again be occupied by Weber’s
“The Game”, the “Große Geisterbahn”
(Schütze) and the “Wilden Maus” from Eberhardt/Göbel.
New on the corner site opposite the
Wilde Maus will be Langenberg’s “Vezenzianisches
Pferdekarussell”. Built up further along in
the inside area of the Rheinstraße, there will be:
the “Schnauferl” (Vespermann), “Voodoo
Jumper” (Schäfer) and the “Power Tower 2”
(Schneider) – the latter two in the inner bay.
Changing its site from the Radschlägerstraße to
the Rheinstraße, the “Golden Greats” dodgem
track will be built up next to the Power Tower for
the first time. This change is quite understandable,
as otherwise three dodgem tracks would
have been placed in close vicinity to each other
in the Radschlägerstraße. The site of Hempen’s
Funhouse “Big Bamboo”, one of the crowd
favourites at the Rheinwiesen 2011, will also remain
unchanged. Further along and extending

New in Düsseldorf:
Kaiser’s “Rio Rapidos”
as far as the water ride, visitors will also encounter
the “Breakdance” (Kinzler) and the
Show der Sensationen (Blume). On the bank of
the Rhine, from the Schützen tent to the water
ride, there will once again be a number of large
rides. Küchenmeister’s “Konga” is to bring a
new highlight to the banks of the Rhine. The socalled
“Rhine Bay” will be occupied by Fackler’s
“Go-Kartbahn”, Hanstein’s “Wellenflieger” and
Renoldi’s “Höllenblitz”. In the second Rhine bay)
the organiser will set store on successful attractions.
In addition to Howey’s “Happy Sailor”, the
“Fight Club” (Schultz) will occupy their usual
sites. They will be adjoined by the market and
the Trachten-Stadlmarkt. Great coaster fun will
be provided by the “Alpina-Bahn” from the Bruch
firm. Further attractions presented will be the
“Star Flyer” (Goetzke), Blume’s “Daemonium”,
“Circus Circus” (Bruch/Gründler) and Hartmann’s
“Time Factory”.These were the plans at
the time of going to press; naturally, there can be
yet further changes. All in all, it is a prominent occupancy,
which is further enhanced by the novelties
and relocations. As usual, the Radschlägerstraße
will be occupied by a large number
of Funhouses, as it is assumed that the noise
level of these attractions is lower than that of ride
attractions, which brings us back to the com-

With the layout of the Rheinwiesen, fairground

The fairground will present a partly different

us not forget the Schützen: before and during
the fair there will be a number of events
well worth seeing, with the processions of the

prominent highlight. Info: www.schuetzen-

A LOOK FORWARD
“Bruchmeister, Lüttje Lage, Ausmarsch
...”, or Bruchmeister (a ceremonial
title peculiar to Hannover),
schnapps, procession. In Northern
Germany these terms are inevitably
associated with the “largest
Schützenfest in the world”, held on
the Schützenplatz in the Hannover
city centre every year in early July.
This year’s event, celebrated from 29 th
June to 8 th July 2012, will already be
the 483 rd Hannover Schützenfest,
which according to tradition is considered
to be the largest event of its
kind. “This year our event will also be
in the German première Volksfest
league again,” said Klaus Timaeus,
General Manager of the Verein Hannoversches
Schützenfest e.V. satisfied
regarding the events, rides and
Funhouse attractions to be presented.
“Some 250 showmen will offer an
appealing mixture of unique, novelty,
classic, traditional and high-tech attractions,
partying and customs on
our some 10-hectare festival ground.
In other words, no matter if visitors
come in high heels, trainers, cocktail
dress, casual wear or Schützen uniform,
the Hannover Schützenfest will
offer something for everybody’s
taste”.
SCHÜTZENFEST HANNOVER
IIn the centre of the festival area with the usual layout of
thoroughfares, there will be four beer tents. The classic atmosphere
in the main beer tent "Festhalle Marris” will be guaranteed
by the "Bayern Stürmer”, "Kzwoa”, "Almrausch” or the
"Münchner Zwietracht” performing during the tapping of the
keg ceremony, as well as banquets and the Schützen award
ceremonies; all to be complimented by the first-class comedy
programme of a certain renowned tractor driver on the opening
evening, and with either a touch of 'V.I.P. appeal' or the
"Midnight-Ladies” providing the Craftsmen’s Evening with a
very special sound. Party fans can look forward to varied programmes
from catchy songs to Majorca hits, coming from the
turntable in the Alt-Hanovera tent, performed by Jürgen
Drews, pop singer veteran Heino, or Feel-Good-Mickie Krause
in the DAX-Bierbörse tent, and by cover bands and DJs in
the new Brauhaus Live tent adjacent to the pyramid. The Gay-
People tent, will once again entice visitors with a shrill and
colourful atmosphere, and not only during the flashy night with
Elke Winter on the Tuesday or the first-time stage programme
of Lilo Wanders on the Wednesday evening. Monday night,
with the allotment tenants electing, among others, their knowledgeable
Allotment Princess in "Wellington” rubber boots,
also promises a lot of partying and fun inside the Gay-Party
tent. This year’s cornucopia of ride, show and Funhouse attractions
on the festival ground is dedicated to the motto: "With
energy, back into the première Volksfest league”! True to this
motto, the Hannover Schützenfest e.V. Association has succeeded
in putting together a first-class amusement park,
choosing from 600 applications received. Presented once
again will be the "Olympia-Looping”, the largest touring Looping
Coaster in Europe, from the Barth firm. Another sensational
novelty will be the giant "Artistico” swing from the Köhrmann
family, boasting a height of up to 46.5 metres, a rotating gondola
and an outward-facing view. Further first-class novelties
for Hannover will be the "Break Dance No.1” from Patricia Kinzler,
"Love Dream” (the Caterpillar Ride from Rasch), the brand
new "Voodoo Jumper” from Schäfer, "Freddy’s Circus” from the
Zinnecker firm, the "Burg des Grauens” from Burghard, and
the "Hot Shot” ejector seat from Dölle.
For the first time, the classic coasters "Berg & Tal” from Schneider
and the "Wilde Maus” from the Eberhard & Göbel firm will
also be presented in Hannover. Moreover, visitors will again
encounter the large water ride from Meyer & Steiger, the looping
ride "Flash” from Weber, the Ferris Wheel "Roue Parisienne”
from Burghard-Kleuser, the "Booster Maxxx G4” from Hoefnagels-Denies,
and the speedy "High Impress” from Oberschelp
on the Schützenplatz. Other highly popular attractions
in Hannover will be the Wave-Swinger, this time from the Blume
firm, the Musik-Express from Krause, the "Shaker” from Wilhelm,
the newly designed Hopser "Hip Hop Jumper” from Greier,
and the "Petersburger Schlittenfahrt” from Burgdorf. The
show and fun sector will be represented by simulators such as
the "U 3000” from Ahrend, "The Game” from Weber and the
"Psycholdelic” from Häsler, offering visitors laser shows and
more. Moreover, the "Kristallpalast” from Sturm, "Remmi Demmi”
from Jansen, the "Aqua Velis” from Hofmann, two dodgem
tracks, a Go-Kart track and – a first-time appearance in Hannover
– the "Super Rutsche” from Göbel will provide visitors
with a lot of fun. The selection of attractions will be supplemented
by ten kiddie rides, including the novelties "Balluna”
from Cremer and the "Käpt'n Jimmy” from Ahrend. Despite all
this, it is not forgotten that the event is a Schützenfest. As a result,
Schützen shape the image of the 12-kilometre Schützen
procession through the Hannover medieval city centre. Every
year, some 10,000 people from German and foreign Schützen
Associations, marching bands, folk and carnival groups participate
in this procession.

For the first time, a doublelooping
coaster will be built up on
the fairground. A ride on the “Teststrecke”
from the Steiger Achterbahn
GmbH takes 2 minutes and
20 seconds and goes through,
among other exciting elements,
two loopings along the 650-metre
track. Further highlights will be
the “Konga” Giant Swing from
Küchenmeister, the novelty
Walkthrough construction “Freddy’s
Company” from Hofmann-
Jehn, which celebrates its première
in Goslar, as well as the
“Krumm & Schief Bau” from Hartmann,
the “Top Spin” from Scheele,
the thrill-fun construction “Extrem”
from the Gebr. Boos, the
speedy “Flipper” from Splitt and
the “Star-Trip” from Fehlauer.
And what other attractions
will visitors be able to enjoy?
From 29 th June to 8 th July 2012,
the “largest Schützen and Volksfest
in South-East Lower Saxony”
will be held in Goslar, the
ancient and historic imperial
town on the Harz – an event
tantamount to ten days of fun,
action and uninterrupted tradition
on the Goslar Osterfeld-fairground!
Text & Photo: Uwe Holzmann
SCHÜTZEN- AND VOLKSFEST GOSLAR
The historic district of the thousand-year-old town of Goslar and the
local ore mine Rammelsberg, were declared UNESCO World Heritage
sites in 1992. Another old tradition preserved in Goslar is the “Privilegierte
Schützen- gesellschaft Goslar von 1220” Society, which was
founded 792 years ago, and celebrates its Schützen and Volksfest on
the traditional Osterfeld-fairground at the entry to the historic medieval
town centre in early July every year. The Schützen and Volksfest is organised
by the “Volksfest Goslar e.V.”. The Kirmes & Park Revue interviewed
Sven Schneider, Chairman of the association and the organising
body, shortly before the beginning of the event.
Mr. Schneider, what will be the highlights offered at the Goslar
Schützen- und Volksfest 2012?
The Ferris Wheel from Wilhelm,
the dodgem track from Vorlop,
the large “Break-Dancer”
from Dreher and the “Jaguar-Express”
from Ahrend are very popular
and successful on the Goslar
Osterfeld-fairground. Well-attended
in hopefully warm summer
weather will be the “Piraten-
Fluss” water ride from Heitmann-
Schneider, the “Krake” from
Uhse, and the heralded new ride
attraction “Devil Dance” from
Welte with an up and down ride
experience like a Miami. Another
novelty will be the “Mäuse-Stadt”
from Brambach Luch, and visitors
will once again encounter the
“Rotor” classic from Pluschies.
And what about attractions
for the younger visitors?
For the first time, younger
visitors will be able to try out the
“Crazy Clown” from Arndt, which
will be joined by the kiddie dodgem
track “Carrera-Dennis” from
Busch-Wegener, the “World of
Fantasy” from Bruch, the “Märchenland”
from Risse, the “Skyliner”
from Parpalioni, the “Blu-
36

menkarussell Biene Maja & Willi” from Weber, the
“Kindertraum-Karussell” from Salzen-Dieckmann,
and the “Bungee-Jump” from Risse
How many attractions were contracted this
time?
A total of 196 showman operations. As usual we
will offer an ample selection of first class games
booths, Continental Pick Stands, shooting galleries,
and snack and sweets operations. In midsummer,
the large number of beer gardens at a good dozen
first class beverage outlets is very popular, and the
beer tent from the Fichtelmann firm will offer snacks,
beverages and an ample music and entertainment
programme throughout the event.
What kind of special actions are planned?
“Action-Cards” and “Family-Cards” will be sold
at favourable prices in advance. Moreover, the Goslar
Marketing GmbH will raffle a backstage tour for a
number of participants both via the press and Facebook.
And what can you tell us about the supporting
programmes?
On Fridays at 11 p.m., the traditional fireworks
displays will provide the fairground with a special atmosphere;
the one held on the second Friday being
the largest and most impressive of this kind in the
whole Harz region. Further theme days, such as the
Men’s Day on Tuesday, the Family Day on Wednesday
and the Senior’s Day at the Lindenhof directly at
the fairground, will induce the public to visit the fairground.
Nor should we overlook the large events of
the “Privilegierten Schützengesellschaft Goslar
1220”, the long festival procession and the citizens’
parade proceeding through the entire old town to the
fairground. Moreover, the “SIE & ER” Exhibition: Bauen
und Wohnen” (His & Hers Exhibition: Building and
Residing) will be held in the centre of the fairground,
and the large pot and bric-a-brac market on the west
side of the Osterfeld-fairground with its 150 marketers,
numbers among the most important market
events in Germany.
What makes up the special appeal of this
event on the Osterfeld-fairground?
The 86,000 square metres Osterfeld, framed by
tall, ancient trees spread all around, has a very special
topography. Due to its hillside location – with a
height difference of some 30 metres from south to
north – a number of terrace sites have been created
for the larger rides and attractions. As a result, a stroll
across the fairground always offers new views and
perspectives. Moreover, the mixture of fairground,
exhibition, bric-a-brac market, Volksfest entertainment
and Schützen tradition is very appealing. In addition
to the traditional target group of all those happily
celebrating, the ample programme of the event,
which is laid out with all generations in mind, is meant
to appeal mainly to families. Goslar also has another
unparalleled 'plus point': The combination of the
beautiful, historic setting of its medieval town centre
adjoining a lively event offers the perfect destination
for a day trip during the summer holidays.
What does advertising for the event look
like?
With the “Goslar Marketing GmbH” an ideal
partner has been found for promotion. The event will
be advertised within a good 80-kilometre radius in
Lower Saxony, and as far as Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
53 huge boards, 900 A1-size posters, large
banners put up on farm trailers, 50,000 flyers, newspaper
ads throughout the surrounding region and radio
commercials on air on several major radio stations
will whet the public’s interest in the Schützenand
Volksfest Goslar.
Mr. Schneider, since when have you been involved
in the organisation of the Schützen and
Volksfest, and what about the security and the infrastructure
on the Osterfeld-fairground?
As a Goslar resident, I
have had a connection to
this large Volksfest for a
good forty years. For five
years now, I have been
Chairman of the “Volksfest
Goslar e.V.” and thus the
contact partner for the
showmen, marketers and
other participants. Ever
since the “Volksfest Goslar
e.V.” has organised the
Schützen und Volksfest,
private security personnel,
a mobile police station and
a Red Cross station have
provided for perfect security,
and peace and quiet
on the Osterfeld-fairground.
Moreover, all types
of bottles are banned from
the fairground. A number of
car parks are available all
around the fairground, and
there is a free park and ride
service for visitors at the
weekends.

HISTORY
Attraction in Goslar 1972:
Eberhard’s “Swing Up”
There is shouting, jumping,
boozing, dancing and celebrating
everywhere 24-7! In the
frenzy of enjoyment, all the frenetic
trading and sheer hard
work are forgotten and everybody
is partying and feasting”.
213 years later, this description
of the Schützenfest in Goslar
from a 1799 book about the Harz
Uplands is, with only some minor
changes, as true today in
2012 as it was in 1799,
demonstrating beyond doubt
that tradition is not just a marketing
promise in Goslar.

Goslar
The history of the Privilegierte Schützengesellschaft
Goslar dates back to the 13 th century as
a Schützen society was founded as early as 1220.
Even in the 15 th century, Schützen societies from other
towns were invited to shooting competitions, and
the so-called “Goslar Freyschießen” – freeing from all
financial burdens – was held for local residents.
These shooting competitions were both social events
as well as a kind of reserve duty training for the residents
of the medieval town. In the 16 th century, the “Am
Lindenplan” Schützen building was erected and in
the 18th century, the Freischießen evolved into a large
Volksfest event. On a meadow at the Schützen house,
a shooting tent, a kitchen tent, beer tents with dance
floors and a number of marketers’ tents were erected.
Linen sheets from Magdeburg, toys from Leipzig,
“an assortment of seamless corsets” for the ladies,
and many other things enticed “young and old visitors
from near and far”, and in the mid 1800s the
Schützenfest event – the duration of which was extended
to one week – was first advertised in the
Braunschweig Anzeigen, and then later also in news-

outside the town walls, where the world-famous
Schützenhof event is held, is a beautiful, large

Due to its location at the foot of the Harz, a known 'climate
divider', Goslar midsummer events have repeatedly
had to cope with adverse weather, and sudden
heavy thunderstorms are almost a fixture in the
programme of the Schützenfest. But people living in

Schützen house was built.
In addition to the Schützen associations, mining has
always – and still plays – an important role in the imperial
Town of Goslar – for more than 1,000 years ore
has been mined in the adjacent Rammelsberg Mountain.
As a result, Schützen and Volksfest events have
always been, and are still, highlights in the annual calendar
of events of the Miners' Associations and many

magnificent sunshine. However, reports from 1926
talk of, “... disastrous downpours lasting more than
24 hours flooded many streets in the Unterstadt district,
leaving stall owners at the Osterfeld fairground
complaining about severe damage ...” According to
the Goslarsche Zeitung, it was even worse in 1928

When Apollo 11 was launched on its lunar mission,
and Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the
Moon on 21 st July 1969, the Goslar Schützenfest 1969
had been over for just a few days. Nevertheless,
Goslar seemed to have been involved in this mission,
as a “Mond-Taxi”, or Moon-Taxi was already making
its rounds on the Osterfeld-fairground two weeks before
the moon landing. An entry in a small, private participant
log reads as follows: “Goslar 1969: Mond-
Taxi, roller coaster marked Hugo Haase, Jupiter Ferris
Wheel, Hully Gully, Allround, Round Up, Musik-Express,
Traum-Show, and the Ghost Ride called Hexen-Geister-Dämonen
…”
A year later, visitors were able to buy a special ticket
from Braunschweig to Goslar from the Deutsche Bundesbahn
(German Railways) for just DM 4.60, in order
to participate in the celebrations on 5 th July 1970,
which marked the occasion of the 750 th anniversary
of the Privilegierte Schützengesellschaft, accompanied
by a cannon salute in front of the Kaiserpfalz Imperial
Palace, and processions throughout the old

Holland, Austria, and Czechoslovakia; 40 festival
wagons and 100 marching bands will participate
in the procession on Sunday, when the Goslar Privilegierte
Schützengesellschaft celebrates its 750 th anniversary
...” After the procession, visitors went on to
the Osterfeld, excited to see the exceptional new attractions
presented on the fairground. Noted down in
the participant log for “Goslar 1970” are:
Schwabinchen, Im Weißen Rössl, the Haase Roller
Coaster, Satellit, Musik-Express, Calypso, Passat,
Allround, Round Up, Star-Parade, Menschen-Tiere-

Special novelties were repeatedly presented in
Goslar also throughout the following years, such as a
new Ferris Wheel from Bruch, a “Motorboot-Regatta”,
“Das Sündige Dorf”, the exhibition “Der Mensch”,
“Flitzer” and “Veteranen-Club”, for example in 1971;

Schlittenfahrt”, the “Wellenflug”, as well as the
“Super-Bob coaster in Goslar in 1979.
The 1980s were the days of many a large novelty,
such as: “Bayern-Express”, “Ranger”, “Katapult”,

1988: Fichtelmann’s
“Spiegelzelt”
360° cinema “Halleluja Hollywood” enthralled the
Volksfest visitors, and a new ride hit from Bremen
caused quite a furore, namely, the original “Break-
Dancer” built in 1985. As early as 1987 the larger
“Break-Dancer No. 2”, built by the same Bremen firm,
was virtually besieged by the Harz Volksfest visitors.
In the 1990s, magnificent ride attractions presented
on the Osterfeld fairground included the “Nightfly”,
“Frisbee”, “Salto Mortale”, “Tornado” and a water
ride. Other first class attractions at the Schützen and
Volksfest were Walkthrough constructions such as
“Der große Irrgarten” or “Asia”, and the popular
“Krake”, which enjoyed cult status as the successor
of the “Monster”. In the new millennium, attractions
presented include the regularly participating Ferris
Wheel from Wilhelm and the dodgem track from Vorlop,
along with the large and small
novelties from the Volksfest scene
such as various “Wilde Maus” attractions,
the “Wilden Fünfziger”,
1997: “Nightfly”
(Kaiser) and Uhse’s “Krake”

“Top-Spin”, “Flash”, “Take Off”, “Devil-Rock” and
many more.
The relationship between the organizer, the Schützen
Association and the showmen regularly appearing at
the Schützen und Volksfest event is excellent – a fact
which is clearly demonstrated by the two entrance
portals that the showmen from the Braunschweig region
and from Bremen have donated to the fairground:
the “Braunschweig Tor” and the “Bremen Tor”. Still another
special feature worth mentioning is the fact that
ever since 1981, the Privilegierte Schützengesellschaft
von 1220 e.V. has held a “Königschießen”,
or Royal Shooting, for the showmen appearing at the
event, which has already been won by many a wellknown
showman.

INTERVIEW
MAX EBERHARD
”Wilde Maus XXL”: For some
months now a continuous advertising
campaign by the
Hamburg Max Eberhard &
Sohn GmbH has been creating
excitement and curiosity for its
new attraction, which is heralded
as the “Only Event
Coaster in the World” no less!
The Kirmes & Park Revue interviewed
Max Eberhard about
the current situation with the
attraction.
Text:
Karolin Zitther
Photo: Archive Eberhard
Mr. Eberhard, not wishing to be disrespectful,
but a look at your year of birth reveals that you could
go into early retirement. Nonetheless, you are once
again working on a probably record-breaking project.
Soon to celebrate the première of the "Wilde
Maus XXL”: Max Eberhard.
These photos were taken prior to dismantling the
tracks for painting
Face-lift for the old Mack
paybox
(Max Eberhard): I have always enjoyed operating
the “Wilde Maus” coaster. It is easy to build up,
transport and operate. That’s why I often thought
about making the coaster more attractive in the
past.
What exactly does this mean?
I always went by the passengers' opinion. There
are two conflicting observations – a unanimous
“fantastic – but too short” is to be heard.”
Does this mean you have extended the track
course of the old “Wilde Maus”?
Yes, and yes again! There was a lucrative – virtually
irresistible – offer from another European
country for a used Mack ride, which is still the “Mercedes”
in the realm of “Wilde Maus” attractions....
48

INTERVIEW
The handrails for the
"Wilde Maus XXL" are welded
So that was the basis for the redesign and
extension?
The basic Maus, as I call it, is virtually
surrounded by a new track course. As a result, the
ride fun has been extended by 200 meters to a new
total length of 585 metres. We have won ten metres
in height and thereby added two very exciting
drops.
You said there were two compelling observations
from visitors inspiring you to innovate.
What else has basically changed?
I myself was always annoyed when visitors had
to join a queue after they had bought the ticket –
that was a real 'downer'. I had had the term Event
Coaster in my mind for a long while, yet the idea
took some time to mature. The Dietz firm has now
nearly completed construction. The waiting line
area contains a total of 14 entertainment elements
familiar in Walkthrough constructions and Funhouses,
such as rolls, shaking floor, suspension
bridge, etc.
In the meantime, we have lost more than eight working
weeks.
With your experience of many decades,
couldn’t you have foreseen certain difficulties?
Let me give you two examples. The longestablished
and traditional Mack firm had set up a
wonderful construction for us in Waldkirch. To my
utter dismay, I discovered that the coaster does not
meet all the requirements of a mobile construction.
Base segments that could be carried by hand before
had now to be moved by crane. There were
cable ducts provisionally laid out that would not
have survived a single dismantling. Dismantling the
four corner towers of the track required a complicated
system of working platforms and the simultaneous
use of several cranes – absolutely unsuitable
for touring. All this had to be changed. Now
the some 20-metre towers can be dismantled in a
INFO
The construction has a
total height of 27 metres,
is 57 metres wide
and 27 metres deep. ■
The new tracks have been
coated with a primer. Now they
go on to the paint finishing lines
You seem to be quite stressed, Mr. Eberhard.
Have you already lost your excitement?
I would rather say I set out with a lot of euphoria
and enthusiasm, but reality is catching up with
me. Actually, all trades involved in the redesign
have failed to meet the time schedules. Structural
engineers, technicians, other engineers and finally
the TÜV – new requirements had constantly to be
met. The steel walls of the new supports are twice
as thick as in the old “Wilde Maus” resulting in a larger
number of transports. This was not expected.
49

INTERVIEW
The attraction requires 15
transport vehicles. Top priority
in loading system: no extra
length, no excess weight, to
avoid heavy load permits
The workshop container
folding system – but this took up valuable time.
Moreover, the specifications of the gondolas had to
be recalculated. Due to the installation of a lighting
system, weight ratios in the cars have changed –
resulting in an enormous centrifugal stress on the
curved sections. Now the construction is perfect,
but it took almost six months, and in the end every
car has worked out at costing EUR 15,000.
Will the world première you announced for
this summer take place? After all, there are only
a couple of weeks left.
......indeed, thanks for reminding me! I have
applied for the Sommerdom 2012. Come what may,
the coaster will be built up – provided I get a contract.
To this day – and it is almost mid-June – I have
received no feedback from the organizer. But all the
colleagues are in the same boat. We are now focused
on the essential work; this means painting the
tracks, redesigning the paybox, hooking the
operator stand up to an electrical supply, welding
190 metres of handrails, installing the first light
strips, and – most important of all – modifying the
entertainment station. Whatever else happens, we
want to present the two-in-one experience!
In other words – you won’t be ready, Mr.
Eberhard?
That’s it. The eight weeks are simply missing
everywhere. In early October, the XXL-size WILDE
MAUS will make a striking impression. Everything
we announced will be presented, that much is certain.
Can we coax the total amount invested out
of you?
Several million.
You always say “we”. Who do you mean by
that?
My son and I have founded an enterprise for
this construction. He has specialised in the build up
of coasters, and over the course of time his company
has come to enjoy an excellent international
reputation. There is hardly a park in Europe that is
not utilising his expert knowledge in this field. Yes,
we can...XXL!

REBUILDING
INTERVIEW
Max Eberhard presents the
new design
The old cars were stripped to their steel frames.
New rollers, new axles, new bumpers – there
was hardly anything left from the original models!
The entire technical infrastructure
was removed, and even
the seat panels had to go, as the
electronic system of the new gondolas
had to be redesigned for the
considerably increased speed.
While they had reached an average
speed of about 35 km/h until
now, the Wilde Maus cars now
race along the track at a speed of
up to 60 km/h. As generally all cars
are custom-made, in other words
differ from each other by a couple
of centimetres here and there, a
standardised production is just
not possible. Everything must be
individually measured and adapted
by hand. To sand, cut and weld
the more than 200 corrugated
sheets installed inside the gondolas
alone takes many working hours. Painted in
four colours, the vehicles make for a perfect
visual appearance.

The new “Fresh´n´Food” from Jürgen Kratzsch

at the Palmkirmes in Recklinghausen, from where
it travelled on further south to the Spring Festival
in Stuttgart.
It took the Dietz firm three months to build the 7-metre
long and 3.5-metre deep wagon according to the
showman’s specifications. The rather quiet colour
scheme of the wagon is both plain and modern. The
LED lighting was harmonised with various neon name
signs, and product information is displayed on a

been touring snack, gastronomic and games booths
to events at, among others, Crange, Bremen, Düsseldorf,
Stuttgart, Oberhausen-Sterkrade, Eisleben and
Soest. The menu of the new “Fresh´n´Food” booth offers

BUBBLE TEA
GASTRONOMY
New: Bubble Tea from
the Theile-Scheel firm
Text & Photos: Uwe Holzmann
At the Hannover Spring Festival 2012, visitors
were able to take a close look at the new sales
booth “Bubble Tea” from Hilmar Theile &
Frank Scheele, managed and operated by
Jacqueline Voß Hanstein. They also had the
pleasure of trying the fare; delicacies that literally
dissolved in the mouth.
Last winter, the “Bubble-Tea” attracted the attention
of these showmen from Bad Gandersheim
and Duingen, after it finally arrived back in Europe
after a tour of Asia, the USA, and Australia.
Frank Scheele immediately set out to rebuild and
equip an appropriate sales booth. “Bubble Tea”
is – somewhat surprisingly – particularly popular
with the adolescent target group, as it is a mixed
drink made of tea, fruit juice or milk, and the
“bubbles”, of course; little fruit juice-filled ‘pearls’
that pop and taste fruity and sweet when bitten.
Jacqueline Voß Hanstein offers all the common
variations; mainly green tea or milk tea poured
on ice cubes and various fruit syrups (e.g. mango,
strawberry, passion fruit or orange). The real
hit, however, is the “Bubbles”, so-called tapioca
pearls filled with fruit juice or offered as in a yoghurt,
passion fruit or lychee flavour.
In Hannover, “Bubble-Tea” turned out to be particularly
popular with young Volksfest visitors,
who formed long queues in front of the attraction
– just as much so as at the shops in the city centres.
Hilmar Theile, Frank Scheele and Jacqueline
Voß Hanstein would like to present the
“Bubble Tea” booth in Lower Saxony, Hesse, and
North-Rhine Westphalia.

FRÜHJAHRSDIPPEMESS FRANKFURT
The Dippemess from the
Ferris Wheel perspective
Text: Ralf Schmitt

A number of novelties, one true ride première for
Germany, and the comeback of the main beer
tent characterized the image of the Frühjahrsdippemess
on the fairground at the indoor ice
rink in Frankfurt.
For more than 23 days (from 30 th March to 22 nd
April), more than 1 million visitors were able to enjoy
a prominently occupied Frühjahrsdippemess,
where the Loop Fighter ride "The King” from Andreas
Zinnecker celebrated its German première.
Other attractions heralded as novelties were the
Looping Coaster "Teststrecke” and Blume’s "Tower
Event-Center”. They were joined by the Ferris
Wheel (Willenborg), water ride (Löwenthal), "Cyber
Space” (Kaiser), "Circus Circus” (Bruch/Gründler)
and Schütze’s Ghost Ride, as well as the regular attractions
from the Frankfurt showmen, such as
"Breakdance”, "Wellenflug”, and "Taumler”. Newly
introduced, in addition to the very well-attended
Dippemess impressions
54

Family Days held on the opening Thursdays, were
the Kiddie Days (on Tuesdays), with reductions exclusively
for children up to the age of 12 years. Having
disappeared from the event in 2009, the beer
tent from the Hausmann firm returned to the fairground
on the Ratsweg this week, as its successors
A LOOK BACK
A varied offer of attractions
on the fairground in Frankfurt
had not been able to establish themselves despite
exhaustive efforts. For some time, the Frankfurt
Dippemess events have been noticeably gaining
momentum, as there has been a trend towards an
increasingly varied selection of major attractions,
rides and Funhouse constructions, which is undoubtedly
very much appreciated by the visitors. ■
NÜRNBERG
Text: Helmut Bresler
The large event in the Franconia metropolis at
the beginning of the season was characterised
by a new beer tent patron, a love fence, and a ride
accident without serious consequences, thank
goodness!
Unfortunately the weather was quite poor and generally
cold. Therefore it was not surprising that in the
end visitor attendance did not live up to expectations.
Nonetheless, Nürnberg visitors have learned
their lesson and developed almost hanseatic resilience.
While visitors used to stay at home with the
first drops of rain, they simply bring umbrellas and
raincoats these days. Large attractions presented
were, among others, the "Daemonium” Ghost Ride
(Blume), Ferris Wheel (Jost), "Piratenfluß” water ride
(Heitmann), "Power Tower 2” (Schneider), double
Wilde Maus (Münch), Toboggan (Fischer), "Magic
House” (Kutschenbauer), and the Go-Kart-track "Indianapolis”
(Böhme). New at Nürnberg: the "Devil
Rock” (Hanstein), "Big Bamboo” (Hempen), Sky
Rocker (Rüdiger) and the futuristic Adventure Theatre
"The Game” (Weber). Moreover, the Brambach-
Luch family celebrated the première of their newly
purchased "Mäusestadt”. Volksfest fans missed the
major coasters, which used to appear in Nürnberg
regularly, but have not been presented for a long
time, such as the Five-Loop Coaster (Barth), Alpina-
Bahn (Bruch) or Löwenthal’s large water ride. The
supporting programme included, among other enticements,
the Poland Night, the "Nacht der 1.000
Lichter” accompanied by a fireworks display and
music, and the first Volksfest-Race around the fairground
– unfortunately held during heavy rain. The
large Film Theatre Attraction, "The Game”, was unfortunately
not mentioned in the list of novelties in
the programme leaflet. Originally allocated a site in
a row, it was possible to relocate it to a favourable
corner site at short notice. Hempen’s "Big Bamboo”
won the audience award.
Changing beer tent patrons: For decades, the repeated
changes of beer tent patrons have been a
never-ending story in Nürnberg. After Maisel-Weiß,
Hahn, Melcher, Hölzgen and Murr, it was once again
the turn of Jürgen Papert from the Ansbach district,
who had already been the beer tent patron twenty
years ago, but had given up after only one year. Now
aiming for a long-term commitment with his
renowned enterprise, he benefited from adverse
weather conditions this year. His exquisite music
programme earned a lot of respect – a beer tent with
a first-class programme like this has not been seen
in Nürnberg for years. One can only hope that in
sunny weather visitors will also rush to the Herbstvolksfest,
as there will be fierce competition from
more than 50 restaurants, snack booths, beverage
outlets and beer gardens on the Dutzendteich-fairground.
The South German Showman Association
has taken up the new trend of fastening "love locks”
to fences as a symbol of eternal love and provided
a corresponding location in the entrance area. The
advertising concept that promoted the event with as
many as three different motifs urgently needs to be
improved – efficient advertising needs to incorporate
a sense of 'identity'. By the way, the Autumn
Volksfest will be entirely dedicated to Nurnberg’s
twin town, Shenzhen.

HANNOVER
New in Hannover:
Deinert’s “Big Spin”
Blume’s “Hupferl”, Risse’s
“Märchenland”, and Ahrend’s
kiddie track ride
Text & Photos: Uwe Holzmann
The first large Volksfest event of the year in Hannover,
the state capital of Lower Saxony, is the
Spring Festival, which traditionally opens its gates
on Easter Saturday.
This year, it was an XXL event with 25 opening days.
As May Day was concurrent, the Volksfest duly took
place on the Schützenplatz from 7 th April to 1 st May. The
event was towered over by the Ferris Wheel from Wilhelm,
and the track and major ride attractions occupying
the corner sites perfectly deployed over the fairground
included: the “Rock & Roller-Coaster” (in a new
colour scheme) from Vorlop, who also built up the
“High-Explosive” track ride, “Wildwasser 2” from Heitmann-Schneider,
“Salto Mortale” from Langenberg &
Gusowski, and the “Air Crash” from Wingender.
Additionally, an ample array of round rides, Walkthrough
constructions and the ghost ride provided the
visitors with a lot of fun and thrills. These included the
novelty “Big Spin” (Deinert), “Flipper” (Schneider),
“Frisbee” (Ruppert), “Magic” (Hainlein), “Night Style”
Armbrecht, “Breakdance” (Hainlein), the “Hupferl”
(Agtsch-Blume), which was very popular with young
people, the “Große Geisterbahn” (Schütze), “Happy
Family” (Heine), “Piraten-Rutsche” (Meyer), “Time
Factory” (Hartmann), “Time-Visitor” (Dormeier), and
the “Remmi-Demmi” (Janßen). Traditionally the Volksfest
classics are very popular in Hannover, such as the
three dodgem tracks (Armbrecht, Dieckmann, Thelen),
the Musik Express “Heisse Räder” (Armbrecht),
“Schlittenfahrt” (Burgdorf), and the “Wellenflug” from
Otto Wendler, which entertained many a regular guest
on its corner site at the Brauer-Tor. After many years, a
classic boxing booth was once again presented at the
spring festival.
The “Sport-Arena” from Lemoine-Heinen made a guest
appearance in Hannover. Moreover, a cornucopia of
attractions, including the large “Märchenland” traffic
kindergarten (Risse), “Mogli's Traumfahrt” (O.
Ahrend), the “Top Drive No. 1” track ride (F. Ahrend),
the compressed air rides “Disney Jet” (Armbrecht) and
56

“Baby Flug” (Müller), the mini-dodgem track (Kröker),
as well as a number of kiddie rides (Ahrend, Heider),
a Bungee-Trampoline (Ahrend), and the “Spanische
Reitschule” (Liebetrau), all provided the younger visitors
with a lot of Volksfest fun. Once again the two beer
tents (Marris and Ahrend) and the ample selection of
attractions within all sectors formed the fundamental
structure for the spring festival, and special events provided
by the organising “AG Volksfest” were not absent
either. In addition to media activities, family days,
fireworks displays, special tickets, Punch and Judy
shows and the kiddie make-up event played a substantial
role in the advertising campaign for the Hannover
Spring Festival.

COBURG

Rolf Orschel
In 1932, a spring festival was celebrated in the
town in Upper Franconia for the first time. Ever
since, the event has evolved into both the first
highlight and the launch into the open-air season
in the Coburg calendar of events.
For the 80-year anniversary, celebrated from 27 th
April to 6 th May, visitors were able to enjoy an appealingly
laid out fairground with attractive ride attractions,
a musical programme and an ample
choice of culinary delicacies.
The spring festival was opened with the traditional
tapping of the keg and a brilliant fireworks display
on the Friday evening. In addition to successful and
well-known attractions, the organizer, the Coburg
section from the South German Showman Association
with its chairman Ralf Pazdera, was able to
also contract some novelty attractions from the received
applications this year. As a result, first-time
appearances were made by the “Super Tower”
from Mölter, E. Kaiser’s family coaster “Twister”, the
Musik Express from E. Volklandt, “Mäusestadt”
from Brambach-Luch, and Burghard‘s Walkthrough
construction, “Geister Hotel”, on the
“Ketschenanger” fairground. Other ride attractions
presented were the “Twister” and the “Street Style”
Miami (Mölter), as well as the dodgem track from
Fertsch. Younger visitors were able to enjoy a kiddie
ride, pony ride, kiddie chain ride, kiddie Ferris
Wheel, a kiddie track ride, and a Jet Ride. The selection
of ride attractions was joined by a number
of games and concession stalls, snack, drink and
sweets booths, and a large beer tent. To mark the
anniversary, the supporting programme included
numerous additional highlights, such as an “80
Cent Birthday Party” on Monday afternoon, when
all ride and Funhouse attractions could be tested
for 80 cents from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday was the
designated Family Day with prices reduced by half.
In a common action by the Radio 1 radio station and
the showmen, all attractions offered free rides or entry
for a single kindergarten on Thursday afternoon.
Moreover, the children were allowed to try out all
sorts of delicacies for free. On the second opening
Friday a large fireworks display was held accompanied
by music. Beautiful weather with almost
summer temperatures brought a rush of visitors to
the fairground on peak days.

As the first Volksfest throughout the wider region,
the Rostock Easter market - held between the
Neuer Markt and the Universitätsplatz from 24 th
March to 9 th April - created a spring atmosphere in
the old town district of the Hanseatic city on the
Warnow.
The Easter Market is organised by the Großmarkt Rostock
GmbH, and has been a fixture of the Rostock
Frühlingserwachen, or Spring Awakening, for more
than six decades. For the 16-day event, the city centre
was transformed into the first festival mile of the
year, even though the spring weather did not awake
from its winter sleep on schedule. Instead of sunshine
and pleasant temperatures, it was colder throughout
the event than at Christmas. Yet despite the low temperatures,
the Market with more than 60 large and
small attractions, a gourmet mile, handicraft stalls and
a flower market, attracted a large number of visitors
once again. A ride on the Ferris Wheel (Lorenz) provided
a perfect view over the festival mile and the old
town. The “Flying Star” (Holtz) also whisked its passengers
high up into the sky. The dodgem track from
Welte was a meeting point for both young and old. The
front of the dodgem hall was retouched with self-adhesive
foil, and another attraction presented was
Krüger’s “Bayern Wippe” Schunkler. The younger visitors
enjoyed the nostalgic kiddie ride “Kindertraum”
(Roggelin), the “Flying Star” Jet Ride (Holtz), and the
“Orient Zauber” kiddie track ride (Scheel), along with
the “Märchenlandexpress” (Vorlop VSB) being once
again built up around the seven-metre Easter tree on
the Uniplatz. The painting of a giant Easter egg created
by children has been a tradition in Rostock for many
years. This year, the egg was painted with motifs from
the TV cartoon series “Yakari – the little Indian Boy”. In
the gastronomic section, visitors are provided with
food and drinks and nine games booths, including the
flower game from Ruff, rounding off the selection of
fairground attractions. The Family Days, with reduced
fares on the ride attractions, were each held on a
Wednesday. On 1 st April, the Easter Market was accompanied
by an open shopping Sunday afternoon in
the city centre from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. At 3 p.m. on the
Sundays the carillon at the Fünfgiebelhaus at the Universitätsplatz
played spring melodies. The festival mile
was closed on Good Friday, and on Easter Monday a
showman ecumenical church service was held at the
dodgem track for the second time.

175 th Maikirmes celebrated
in Ahlen
According to the official gazette of the Münster
Royal Government, the Ahlen fair event dates back
to the year 1873. Accordingly, the 175 th May Fair
could be celebrated from 27 th April to 1 st May this
year.
Every year two fair events are held on the Dr.-Paul-
Rosenbaum-Platz in the town in the Münsterland; one
in spring and the other in autumn. They are both organised
by the fairground director, Dietmar Kisolowski
from the town authorities, who had chosen 60 showman
operations for the May fair this year. In addition to
58

the major ride “Artistico” (Köhrmann), which arrived in
Ahlen directly from its première site in Aachen, visitors
were able to enjoy the “Formel Eins” dodgem track
(Schneider), Musik Express (Schneider-Krause), Feldmann’s
nostalgic Ferris Wheel (built in 1918), Krameyer‘s
“Big Monster”, the “See Sturm Bahn” from Glocke,
and Isken‘s “Number 1” dodgem track. Moreover,
Klünder's “Big Splash” water ride, and the “Amazonas”
Walkthrough constructions from Agtsch were built up
in the centre row. Younger visitors were able to enjoy
the kiddie Wave-Swinger (Schütz), kiddie ride (Thelen),
the “Disney Flieger” Jet Ride (Weber) and the “Bonanza”
pony ride (Kaiser). Numerous games and sales
booths rounded off the presented attractions.
The stroll across the fairground for the guests of honour
on Friday afternoon, preceded by the Drensteinfurt
Rentnerband, with the fairground organ presented
by the showman family Schneider, one or two spins on
a ride attraction was not to be neglected either! Particularly
worth mentioning was the ride on the Ferris
Wheel, together with the Rentnerband playing the
“Steigerlied”, an old miners’ song.
Afterwards, the May fair was officially opened with the
tapping of the keg by Mayor Benedikt Ruhmöller. Friday
was the designated Voucher Day - pay once, ride
twice - and after sundown a brilliant fireworks display
was held to mark the anniversary of the Ahlen May Fair
that enthralled many a visitor. Monday was the designated
Family Day, with reduced fare prices as well as
special offers, before the event closed on the Tuesday
evening.

This year, the spring festival on the
Viehmarktplatz in the small town of Immenstadt,
Oberallgäu was held from 28 th April to
6 th May.
The towering Ferris Wheel from the Jost firm was
visible from afar and served as a direction sign
to the fairground in the midst of the mountain
settings.
A manageable number of showmen attractions
were built up on the site. In addition to sweets
stalls and a snack booth, visitors also encountered
several games booths, and younger visitors
enjoyed the "Samba” ride (Kreis). Moreover,
Hirschberg’s "Comic Trip” Miami offered a
speedy ride experience and the chain ride from
Mayr occupied the centre of the site. While the
spring festival had often suffered from continuous
rain or even snow, ideal weather left nothing
to complain about for showmen and visitors alike
this year. Wednesday was the designated Family
Day with reduced prices.

Lunapark on the Maspernplatz
in Paderborn
This year’s Lunapark was held
on the Maspernplatz from 21 st
April to 1st May. Ever since
1965, the event that has been
celebrated since 1920 has
been organised by the Paderborn
city authorities. This year,
62 showmen were contracted
for a site on the some 8,000-
square metre fairground.
The official opening was held by
Mayor Heinz Paus at 4 p.m. on the first opening Saturday.
Rides presented were the “Crazy Mouse”
(Janßen), Deinert’s “X-Factor”, a dodgem track
from Petter, Heitmann’s “Disco-Jet”, the “Ghost”
Walkthrough construction from Burghard, “Europa
Rad” (Schieck) and “Breakdance” (Dreher-Vespermann).
The younger visitors enjoyed three kiddie
rides and a bungee trampoline. Not to forget the
landmark of the Paderborn Volksfest events, the
“Paderborner Pferdekarussell” from Nessel. Particularly
striking were the large banners advertising
the event (also in English, for British soldiers stationed
in and around Paderborn). Car parks were available
in the direct vicinity of the Maspernplatz, and
for the first time two rest areas were set up on the
fairground. On Tuesday, some 170 disabled people
were invited by the showmen to use the fairground
attractions for free. Moreover, there was a backstage
tour and on Friday a fireworks display was
held after sundown.

REMSCHEID
High up into the sky
at the Remscheid Maikirmes
Text & Photos: Michael Petersen
From 27 th April to 6 th May, the traditional May Fair
was held on the Schützenplatz of the town in the
Düsseldorf administrative district.
Over the last few years, there was hardly anything
positively worth reporting about the two annual Volksfest
events in Remscheid, as the once largest fair in
the Bergisches Land region (celebrated on the second
weekend in July) had declined to a 'mini event' of little
significance. The May fair in the past years could however
make up some of the 'lost ground' of previous
years, even though the number of ride and Funhouse
attractions remained 'cautious' and offered little variety.
This year, the event was able to live up to some extent
60

to the 'good old times' at long last. Many visitors could
hardly believe their eyes when they saw the many novelties
offered in Remscheid. A well-designed circuit
course with attractions that almost filled the whole
Schützenplatz; a spectacle that has not been beheld
for many years. Up until a few years ago, a Ferris Wheel
had always been a highlight in Remscheid; after all, a
ride in the Ferris Wheel on the Schützenplatz provides
visitors with a magnificent view over the Bergisches
Land and far off into the Cologne Bay. Gorman’s Ferris
Wheels now brought back this view again. While a
couple of showmen had cancelled their contracts during
the week of build up during the last few years, leaving
large and ugly gaps that could not be filled, several
showmen applied for approval right up until the
week of build up this time. Due to the “replacements”
there was a drawback in the otherwise perfect design
of the fairground; the high-flying “Aviator” had to move
to the second row. Nevertheless, the ride was very well
attended.
Both top-end sites were prominently occupied by the
Musik Express (Hoster) and the “Breakdance” (Sonnier).
Built up along the circuit course, there were also
the “Wilde Maus” (Barth), the “Heartbreaker”, the “Hully
Gully” (Vollmer), Deinert's chain ride, and the “Enterprise”
from Geelen. The younger visitors had the
choice between seven kiddie rides of different types,
and the Funhouse sector was represented by the
“Super Mario World” (Markmann), and the “Action
House” (Kipp). Unfortunately, the May fair – so conspicuously
'sizeable' again at long last – was only
modestly advertised, as the organiser, the Schützenverein
is responsible for the advertising. The decidedly
dull and definitely not at all numerous posters were
completely lost between the sprawling masses of election
campaign posters of the political parties, and a
prominent advertisement in the daily newspapers was
nowhere to be seen. What about other events in Remscheid
this year? So far, prospects for the fair event
with attendant Schützenfest in July are disillusioning.
Unmoved by the decline of the event, the date remains
unchanged. The July fair will be celebrated from Friday
to Tuesday during the second weekend, and the
Düsseldorf Rheinwiesen will start on the following Friday.
If the event was held one week earlier, several
“Düsseldorf participants” would certainly build up in
Remscheid first, but the Remscheid Schützenfest has
always been celebrated on the second July weekend,
period! Some of the Remscheid Schützen in charge
are simply unbearably stubborn. The times have
changed; it is high time to take action!
May Fair summary: The event, held almost without any
promotion, was varied and very well designed, and deserved
a higher number of visitors and more ideal
weather. Many visitors will come back in July full of expectations
– and will probably be seriously disappointed.
Perhaps though, those responsible will consider
changes after all. Remscheid certainly has the
potential for another large fair on the centrally located
Schützenplatz.

The Steinert-Kirmes
in Lüdenscheid
LÜDENSCHEID

Michael Petersen, Nils Benthien
The Steinert Fair in Lüdenscheid – the largest
fair in the Sauerland – was ill-starred this year
(from 11 th to 20 th May).
Fairground director Jürgen Linnepe had to cope
with a number of problems. Due to short-term
cancellations, he had to change the original layout
considerably and occupancy of the fairground,
resulting in a number of drawbacks. In
early May the owner of the Ghost Ride had cancelled
his contract, and one day before the
opening a Dutch firm that was meant to present
its family coaster followed suit.
But that was not all, the “Columbia-Rad” from
Burghard-Kleuser also caused problems, as it
was still making its rounds at the “Tag der offenen
Tür” at the new Berlin “Willy Brandt” airport
on the first opening weekend, and thus could be
built up in Lüdenscheid only on the Tuesday. At
the end of the accompanying Schützenfest on
Tuesday, the beer tent was dismantled first and
then replaced by the Ferris Wheel. As a result,
the two highlights, the “Booster Maxx” (Ordelmann)
and the Ferris Wheel were built up at right
angles to each other.
Annoying and hard to fathom for the organiser
was the fact that a showman dismantled his two
61

snack booths and slipped away unseen
on Sunday night. Therefore it was no
wonder that the gaps could not be
closed at short notice. However, with
Burgdorf’s “Schlittenfahrt” it was possible
to engage a beautiful ride as a replacement,
filling at least one large gap
in the circuit.
“The Steinert fair 2012 took its toll on my
nerves. Hopefully I will be spared these
kinds of problems next year,” commented
Jürgen Linnepe.
Financial results at this year’s event
ranged from satisfying to deeply disappointing,
depending on the sector. All
in all, turnover was modest, due to cold
spring weather with much rain. ■
“Breakdancer” in Lüdenscheid
New Fairground Director
in Krefeld: Detlev Könkes
KREFELD
Text & Photo: Michael Petersen
Attractive ride and Funhouse attractions characterised
the overall image of the Krefeld Sprödental
Fair held from 4 th to 13 th May.
At the beginning of the year, there were intense discussions
among the showmen about fairground director
Renate Hake, who had surprisingly resigned
from her post. She had always been strongly committed
to the fair and had positively livened up its appearance,
carrying out many changes. No reasons were
given for her sudden resignation, but there have been
ongoing rumours and speculations. Be that as it may,
her former deputy, Detlef Könkes is now in charge of
the fair and its organisation. Detlef Könkes, who up until
now had been responsible for the town’s smaller suburban
fair events and flea markets, is a trained technician
and has been working at the Krefeld town authorities
for seven years. Having been offered the post
of fairground director by the head of his department
Mr. Mertens, in February, Könkes willingly accepted.
As there had not yet been any concrete plans or contracts
for this year’s Sprödental
fair at that time, the
showman operations had to
be chosen from the applications
received and
contracted at short notice.
At this point, the positive cooperation
with the Sprödental-Kirmes
working group
paid off once again. Presented
this time were “Wonder
Wheel” (Bruch/Schneider),
“Air Crash” (Wingender),
“Beach Jumper” (Wegener),
“Big Spin” (Deinert), “Schloss Dracula”
(Schütze), “High Impress” (Oberschelp), “Shake”
(Schäfer), “Frisbee” (Robrahn), “Spinning Racer”
(Bruch), “Schlager Express” (Dreßen), “Rotor”
(Pluschies), Rutsche (Meyer), and “Remmi Demmi”
(Janßen).
The layout of the fairground showed a number of mistakes
as the new fairground director needs a little more
time and has to gain experience for the ideal placement
of the individual attractions. Building up the “Air-
Crash”, “Big Spin”, dodgem track, and “Frisbee” close
together was too much of a good thing. Moreover, the
“Big Spin” was virtually squeezed in between the Continental
Pick Stand and the dodgem track. Moreover,
the small top-end site in the first bay, unfavourably occupied
with a canoe construction, offered an unattractive
view behind the scenes. The event was extensively
advertised, although one could easily have
doubts about the poster advertising presented on bill
boards.
Positively noticeable was the cooperation with the
daily newspapers and the local radio station, Welle
Niederrhein. Additionally, the Sprödentalkirmes working
group had come up with a new competition, with
the first prize being a new car. 47,000 entry cards with
relevant information about the fair were distributed via
the Westdeutsche Zeitung, and another 33,000 were
available elsewhere, for example at all showman attractions.
The winner was drawn on closing day. Even though the
car had to be financed by the participating showmen,
they all supported this special action. The feedback to
the competition was rather modest though. Apparently,
many people are more cautious with regard to their
personal data these days. According to the organiser,
there was no need to worry in Krefeld though, as all entry
cards were destroyed after the drawing of the winner
in compliance with the law.

MODENA (I)
A LOOK BACK
The Lunapark in Modena
Text & Photos: Ton Koppei
The Italian town of Modena is known all over the
world mainly due to its association with the worldfamous
automobile manufacturers Ferrari, Lamborghini,
and Maserati. As if this were not enough,
the beautiful historic 180,000-resident town also offers
an annual spring fair with a history dating back
to the year 1875.
From 14 th April to 1 st May some 100 showman attractions
were built up on the fairground, which is located
on the outskirts of the town, directly next to the “Ipercoop”
shopping centres and not far from the autobahn,
and provides an additional spacious car park. The Lunapark,
as fair events are commonly called in Italy,
takes place on a clean fairground with well-maintained
attractions. However, the layout this year was unfortunately
lacking in imagination, and failed to form a true
circuit course. Particularly noticeable were a number
of discount initiatives presented by the showmen offering
among other incentives, reduced fares at kiddie
rides and combination offers, hinting at the current financial
crisis in Italy. The Lunapark opened in the late
afternoon every day and was well attended mainly in
the evenings (as usual in the south of Europe). Apart
from a couple of exceptions, almost all the attractions
presented were made in Italy. In fact, many ride manufacturers
are based in Bergantino and Melara, only half
an hour from Modena by car. Built up in Modena were,
among other attractions, the open Caterpillar Ride
“Sound Machine”, a Matterhorn construction with an
unusual design called “New York Subway”, and two
well looked after examples of the Italian cult ride of the
“Telecombat type, which are an indispensable must at
Italian Lunaparks, and highly popular with young and
old alike to this day. In addition, visitors were able to
enjoy two larger coasters at the same time: the “Alpenblitz”
from the Casagrande family, and the classic family
coaster from the Costa family. Other attractions presented
were a 4-D Cinema, two Walkthrough constructions,
“Move It”, Double Ranger, “Superbowl”,
“Kangaroo”, “Nuvola”, two dodgem tracks, a Go-Kart
track and the “Extreme” swing. Young visitors were
able to enjoy, among other attractions, two “Big Apple”
coasters, and the “Grand Canyon” Western-style railway.
A number of kiddie rides as well as well-kept operations
within the snack and games sectors rounded
off the selection of attractions.

COASTER
The first and most intensive
drop follows the
chain lift immediately
Spain’s most successful theme
park, PortAventura in Salou near
Barcelona, opened a gigantic coaster
in May 2012. Following
“The Big One” at England’s
Pleasure Beach (1994) and
“Silver Star” at the German
Europa-Park (2002), the bar has
been raised as the “Shambala”
is now Europe’s highest coaster.

Shambala
Five years after the last adaption of a large
attraction – “Furius Baco” from Intamin was the
world’s first “Wing Coaster” in 2007 – and a year
after the opening of the new and successful kiddie
area “SésamoAventura”, it was time for another
coaster: B&M’s “Shambala”, which is the highest,
the second fastest (only “Furius Baco” is slightly
faster), and still the fourth longest coaster on the
European continent. And with that PortAventura has
proved that despite, or rather because of the current
economic crisis in Spain, a downward experience
must not always be unpleasant – at least
if one likes airtime, and if it’s about a coaster.
In the usual sovereign manner without the least bit
if unevenness, the B&M Hypercoaster winds
through its ride programme: following the almost
endlessly seeming lift that gives each passenger
enough time to enjoy the aerial view of the lovely
theme park PortAventura to the left, and the nearby
Mediterranean Sea to the right, as well as the
sheer luxurious seat spacing on a coaster, the first
drop follows without ceremony – and unfortunately
without any pre-drop. However, thanks to the extremely
long train – due to the seat configuration –
there’s intensive airtime to be experienced already
here in almost all rows. After travelling through a
tunnel in the deepest valley section, a parable Himalaya
Mountain peak sends the train into the
Catalonian skies again, to then speed downwards
once more with the corresponding feeling of
weightlessness in all seats.
66

Something really special was thought out for the
turn of the out-and-back coaster: a standing eight!
For a long time this ride figure had been considered
as not realizable because it was not rideable.
However B&M has managed it – even if this element
only looks like an eight from the side, and in actual
fact is similar to a very slanting pretzel. However,
this only discloses a view from below.
The return trip is initiated by another parable-flight
figure packed with airtime that finishes with a water
splash, well put into the scene. Unfortunately it’s
only a fake and doesn’t pull the water with it to
splash the viewers as well. Because there’s no
contact with the water, the train is not braked and
can travel through the following track metres at full
power. After two still relatively high peaks with
weightlessness guarantee, the one and only block
brake follows, a 180° directional change and
another smaller airtime hill, before the final brakes
take a determined grip, preparing for the end of the
brilliant expedition.
As on most of the now seven coasters at PortAventura,
this unusual trip into the mountains also offers
onride-videos. “Shambala” is equipped with a photo
and video system from the Italian supplier Pegaso/Fotosmile:
the Moviesmile-system replaced the
ridercam/lagotronics installations on “Furius Baco”
already in 2010, and on the “El Diablo” in 2011 and
has proved very reliable.
Due to the large distance between both seats in
each of the back rows of a car, there had to be three
cameras installed, instead of the usual two on each
vehicle.
In order to capture all 32 passengers on the video,
the 8-car train carries 24 cameras.
A New Theme Area
“Shambala” has received its own theme area of the
same name. The 14,000 square metre sized area
that is located in the second row between the Chinese
theme land and the “SésamoAventura” kiddie
section, abducts visitors on an expedition into the
Himalaya massif. The designer was inspired by the
historic Kingdom of Bhutan, one of the least known
67

Some Onride sequences
The new theme area entices
with its position that
allows for an uninterrupted
view of both coasters
areas on the earth, located between India and China.
Even though the design can only be described
as successful, one can still recognise the fact that
there’s not as much money available these days:
whilst the “China” area had been lavishly completed
with bricks, cheerful roofs and high quality
sculptures, the new “Shambala” area is dominated
by a gunned concrete façade, given though that it
is of a high standard. As it is the new area is a delightful
extension of the Chinese theme land that –
apart from a number of large plastics and apparently
left behind Himalaya expedition accessories
– has an exciting experience character particularly
due to the two coasters. The 1995 “Dragon Khan”
has been remarkably well and newly set in the scene
next to the unbelievable “Shambala”. This gives
the impression as though both coasters are tangled
in each other. In actual fact though there are only
two positions where there is a slight overlap of the
train paths, however because both rides have been
placed in the immediate vicinity of each other, the
sensation of the atmosphere of this special place is
also conveyed to those not partaking of the ride.
Résumé
Whilst the neighbouring “Dragon Khan” with its
ample height of almost 50 metres and a length of
68

1,270 metres is a Looping Coaster with seven
inversions, the new Hypercoaster is not stingy with
two things either: a lot of freedom and more intensive
airtime.
Though it wouldn’t have hurt to bring more variety
into the coaster portfolio, for example an Inverted
Coaster, Floorless Coaster, Standup Coaster or
even a Flying Coaster, but maybe a future track
attraction will offer it. Henceforth however Port-
Aventura offers one Wing Coaster and six (!) Sitdown
Coasters, when at the same time the seating
configuration on the “Shambala” is unequally more
generous than all the others. Irrespective of this
fact, “Shambala” can now establish itself as the new
queen in Europe’s coaster skies.
We discussed these facts with Sergio Feder, the
President of PortAventura-Resorts. He came to
Spain in 2010, together with the new investor, the
Italian-Spanish private-equity-group Investindustrial.
Earlier, he was the Managing Director of Italy’s
Gardaland, which also was part of the Investindustrial
portfolio, before being sold to Merlin in October
2006.
First of all, our heartfelt congratulations on
this great new attraction. However, the opening
takes place in a time of one of the biggest economic
crisis that Spain has to come through, so
what is the visitor prognosis for this year?
Interview with the Park President
The opening date of “Shambala” fell right in the
middle of the largest crisis Spain has to go through
since the end of the Franco-dictatorship in the years
1977: during the current disastrous economic
imbalance and unemployment numbers that unfortunately
have grown at least as high into the skies
as the new coaster itself. Is it difficult to think about
recreational activities in these times? Based on experience,
it’s theme parks in particular that have the
potential to profit as regional tourist destinations
during unsettled economical times, when the
population has no money for a bigger holiday. To
that, theme parks are designed to make their visitors
forget everyday problems for a day (or from the
view of the operator, gladly a number of days). Has
chance played its hand arising from the crisis,
particularly in the Spanish parks? Naturally the
visitors have to be offered something special, maybe
even something new. Once again PortAventura
appears to have done everything right – even if the
plans for this mega-attraction were made far in
advance.

of 16%. It is the beginning of the season and it is
very difficult to know how the season is going to be
but, thanks to “Shambala”, we are very optimistic
for 2012. We expect that this new ride will be a
strong attraction for the visitors, and our target is
reaching 4 million visitors in the next few years.
You have park owned hotels as do the Disneyland
Resort in France and the Europa-Park
Resort in Germany. How many beds are available
and how high is the annual utilisation rate?
Nowadays we have four 4-Star-hotels with 500
rooms in each one, which means 2,000 rooms available,
and almost 1 million hotel clients every year.
The occupancy rate is 100 % in the high season.
Since the park opened, the family with children
visitor number has developed very positively.
How do you explain this pleasant increase?
And can this trend continue?
First and foremost we are a family park, proven
by the fact that 70 % of our visitors are families.
“SésamoAventura”, our new family area with 11
attractions, is our main product in this segment.
One year after the launch, our visitor numbers
increased by around half a million. Of course we
want to keep on developing this target. This year
for example, we created a driving school for kids
from 3 to 12 years.
The location Salou/Tarragona is situated on
the coastal region Costa Daurada, which has
always been a very well frequented tourist area.
How high are the international visitor figures,
and from which countries do they come?
Currently PortAventura receives more than a
million visitors from abroad, accounting for 2 % of
the total number of tourists in Spain (56.7 million in
Spain in 2010). By market, in the year 2011 we
experienced growth in all markets with a 29 %
increase in Spanish visitors; the most notable were
Andalusia (+38%), Catalonia (+33%) and Madrid
70

(+17%). With regards to the foreign markets, the
most obvious is the growth of the Russian market
(+30%).
The two main owners, each owning 50
percent of Port Aventura, are the Italian privateequity-company
Investindustrial [editor’s note:
earlier Gardaland-owner], and the large Spanish
bank La Caixa. It’s particularly well known that
the banks are becoming more and more affected
by the crisis. Will there be a lack of large
investments such as “Shambala” in the near
future?
Since Investindustrial’s entry in 2010 as a
shareholder (together with La Caixa), the two of
them have established a plan to invest 80 million
Euro over a four-year period. The projects that we
have already mentioned have taken up around half
of the investment, and our plan for the future is to
continue developing the resort to become the best
family destination in Southern Europe.
Why is the PortAventura Resort much more
successful than other Spanish parks?
The key to success is that it has become a holiday
destination that delivers experiences to families,
with a clear focus on customer service and
quality.
It’s not a question about countries, but a difference
between those parks which have been able
to develop a resort to target holiday tourists, and
those which just remained a park. We can find
examples of that in countries all around Europe.
Let’s get back to the new attraction “Shambala”:
how did the idea come about and
from whom, for this still rather unusual
theming in the amusement industry?
PortAventura wants to become the
leading park within Europe, in terms of both
innovation and breaking records. It is
imperative in order to attract visitors not
only from Spain, but from all over Europe,
especially markets such as the UK, France,
Russia and also Germany, Italy and Benelux.
“Shambala” complements the park by
offering a new leading attraction and by
creating a new zone for fun and entertainment,
not only for people boarding the ride,
but for everyone who wishes to stay on land
and explore the surrounding area.
What came first – the theme or the
desire for the highest coaster in Europe?
Of course the first decision was to have
a “breaking records” attraction.
Due to the immediate
vicinity to the “SésamoAventura”
kiddie area that opened last
year, there are interesting contrasts
Do you see any differences between Spanish
parks and those of other countries? Or are
there differences in the recreational behaviour
of the Spanish in comparison for example to the
English or the Germans?
“Shambala” has almost become a
separate theme world, but is actually a
significant upgrade of the Chinese area.
With this step, is an important visitor
group being targeted for the future?

President Sergio Feder
Our future plans will focus on new and unique
attractions that will serve us to position PortAventura
as an internationally referenced family park. We
are not targeting new profiles of people with each
new attraction, but a full range of profiles.
Were other manufacturers under consideration,
or was the decision for Bolliger & Mabillard
already made in the early period?
Which were – besides the coaster manufacturer
Bolliger & Mabillard – the involved and implementing
firms?
The rest of the theme work was managed by Port-
Aventura’s development department, with collaboration
of other partners such as PGI-Boma or Claudio
Mazzoli [editor’s note: Mazzoli also was Senior
Designer at Gardaland],to design the theme..
Because we were looking for a European leading
project, we needed to work with the number one
roller coaster builder: B&M
Mr. Feder, thank you for the interview and
we wish you continued success with beautiful
PortAventura.
BUILT UP IN A SHORT TIME
Despite the gigantic size of the coaster, the build
up was not only trouble-free, but also completed
within only two and a half months: building
began on the 18 th January, on the 29 th March the last
track piece was delivered by B&M, and already on
the 31 st of March “Shambala” was ready for its test
run.
Max Eberhard Jnr. is rightly proud that his special
company Ride Construction Service (RCS) from
Hamburg ensured that the attraction could open in
due form and time: “We were the only company that
could keep to the stipulated date, whilst our
Spanish competitors had prognosticated the completion
for July/August. Following the new B&M
attractions at Thorpe Park and Parc Astérix, it’s our
third B&M coaster this year.”
Construction Manager Carsten Stock was onsite
the whole time: “It’s not an everyday occurrence
when 400 to 500 ton cranes are in use. But a good
team, expert knowledge, organisation and the
relevant equipment are crucial.” At track close, all
involved nationalities were thought of in a ceremonial
moment that enabled the new queen in the
coaster skies to be a true European project: in
addition to the Spanish flag, hoisted were also the
flags of Catalonia (location of the park), Switzerland
(manufacturer B&M), Germany (build up by RCS),
Poland (the most employees of RCS), and naturally
the one of PortAventura.

The new coaster at the

One of the most popular short

forming the Legoland Resort together,
which offers recreation

The technical data promises a
solid family attraction: the 20

track length are all a good indication
that the core target group remains in the focus of

Although there are also single-rider and expresspass
entrances, visitors at the normal entrances can
gather information from countless information
boards about animals in the polar circle, so that the
waiting times are not so tedious. Regardless of which
variation is chosen, waiting times have been minimised
thanks to the well attuned performance of the
operation team.
An Excursion in the Polar Circle
After place has been taken in the anatomically well
shaped seats that fit to almost all physical sizes and
the lift hill has been climbed, the ride travels down
the steep first drop angled to the left. The 16-passenger
train crosses under the lift hill here, and then
crosses over the path underneath with a Camelback.
During the following downward helix the train increases
speed again and absolves a second Camelback
through a rock formation, as well as an upwards
helix and a right curve. The rest of the kinetic energy
of the train is stopped by a braking system before
the train rolls slowing into the rock mass, coming to
a standstill. The gate to the iceberg closes behind
the snowmobile designed train, and an animated film
draws the attention of the riding guests. Whilst they
are watching the screen, the train suddenly and
abruptly drops one level, much to the surprise and
delight of shrieking guests.
After the freefall that does not have a hydraulic
system here as on “Thirteen” at the sister park at
England’s Alton Towers, but uses a magnetic brake
system, the “Polar X-plorer” mutates into a true blue
expedition into an animal world, with the way back
to the station being lined with a number of animals
made of Lego bricks. But that’s not all: the guests
also travel past the penguin enclosures and can
observe the penguins – even if only for a short time.
On closer inspection it looks more as though the
penguins are casting an envious glance at both of

the very handsomely designed coaster trains. And
with good reason as the plumy suited little creatures
will have to do without a ride in the future as well, and
will miss a coaster ride that is surprisingly intensive:
in the curves the passengers are pressed to the
seats by 4.2 g, and during the Camelbacks the bodies
of the guests are distinctly lifted towards the skies
– which most probably astounds one or the other
grandfather on the ride! The freefall element is also
convincing, because particularly for those partaking
for the first time, it’s a pretty frightening moment –
even though admittedly – the actual freefall is not
particularly deep and interrupts the ride dynamic
somewhat.
All Sunshine and Roses at Polar Circle?
Unfortunately no, at least when the sun shines: The
first part of the ride until the freefall element has plenty
of speed changes, surprising amounts of airtime,
and is very convincing with its running smoothness,
but there’s something missing inside the mountain
mass particularly: darkness.
Although attempts have been made to minimise the
entering daylight with black cloths, there are not as
many as are necessary. This results in the ride guests
having a very good view on the technology which
results in the illusion of a polar expedition being destroyed
to a certain extent. The by far greater dilemma
is however that on sunny days the passengers
can only roughly recognise what is happening in the
film before the freefall. This should definitely be improved,
even if it doesn’t appear to be an important
point for many park visitors. They are impressed with
the “Polar X-plorer” anyway, which can be seen on
the faces of exiting passengers. Countless repeat
rides speak a plain language and for Scandinavian
coolness – which since this year is polar frosty. ■

INTERVIEW WITH THE PARK’S CEO HENRIK HÖRMANN
Text:
Frank Lanfer
Legoland Billund in Denmark was
opened in 1968 near the Lego-factory.
In the past year, 1.7 million
guests visited Legoland Resort Billund,
around 40% of which were from
outside of Denmark (coming
particularly from Norway, Sweden,
Germany, and Holland). We spoke
with CEO Henrik Hörmann about this
year’s novelty, “Polar X-plorer”.
Most Legoland parks in the
world are momentarily concentrating
on the StarWars hype.
Why then is the Danish Legoland
going another way?
We launched StarWars in “Miniland”
in 2011, and had a great response
at Legoland Billund. Due to
the previous year’s success with more tourists
and more guests coming to Legoland, we decided
to go for a completely new land in 2012.
And how did you arrive at the “Polar
Land” theme? Was it decided right from the
start to have a new large ride attraction erected
as well?
The Merlin creative team Merlin Magic Making
(formely Merlin Studios) and the Legoland
Billund team worked out a number of different
themes and ride concepts. Based on consumer
research, we chose to go for “Polar Land” with a
new Drop Coaster from Zierer, a penguin display
with live Gentoo penguins, and a new restaurant.
Were there also other manufactures that
came into question? For example Intamin
also offers a similar attraction that is already
present at the English Alton Towers.
As always, we asked three to four manufacturers
to come up with their suggestions for a
Drop Coaster solution, and we chose the Zierer
coaster.
How was it working together with Zierer?
It has been a pleasure working with Zierer.
It has been a very constructive and problem-free
co-operation from ride design all the way to ride
commissioning.
The combination of rides and animal
habitat is of course interesting, but due to the
animal welfare situation, is also a sensitive
topic.
We already have an Atlantis by SeaLife
aquarium at Legoland Billund and have a highly
qualified Display Manager and Aquarist team
that are fully qualified to take care of our Gentoo
penguins. They have spent time in other SeaLife
Centres that have Gentoo penguins, and we
have had our team at Edinburgh Zoo where our
Gentoo penguins come from, to learn how they
lived there.
On what does it depend that other Legoland
parks will also erect a similar attraction?
Or will “Polarland” remain a unique attraction
at Legoland Billund?
We have a great tradition for sharing attractions
and rides across the soon to be six Legoland
parks.
Will a “Flying Ninjago” attraction arrive at
Legoland Billund as at the German sister park
next year?
We are still working on our programme for
2013.
Thank you for your interview, and good luck
for this season.

HARRY POTTER TOUR LONDON
For the first time Muggles (non
magical humans) can walk
through the authentic Great Hall
of Hogwarts Castle, climb
aboard a triple-decker knight
bus, and take a Nimbus 2000 in a
Quidditch match.

At the end of the Harry Potter film series, Warner
Bros. decided to open and make a visitor
attraction on the area of the Leavesden Studios ,
where the eight films were mainly shot.
Behind the name "Warner Bros Studio Tour London,
The Making of Harry Potter”, one will find a
walking tour, the first portion of which takes
visitors through the most iconic sets including
Dumbledore’s office, Hagrid’s Hut, and the Ministry
of Magic. Strolling down Diagon Alley, visitors
get to appreciate the incredible attention to
detail that was put into creating the sets for the
films.
The outdoor portion is next, "The Backlot”, home
to the exterior sets including Harry’s house on
Privett Drive, and Hogwarts Bridge. The final area
is the Creature Effects workshop featuring the animatronics
creatures, make up and scale models,
which brought the movies to life.
The undoubted highlight of this section is the
scale model of Hogwarts Castle that was used in
all the movies.
Seeing the school for the first time is surely a
spectacular and memorable moment for fans.
Through the use of green screen and movie
magic, visitors can climb aboard a broomstick
and take flight, or ride in the Weasley’s flying car.
A souvenir photo of the experience can be purchased
for the rather expensive price of £12.
At £28 for an adult and £21 for a child there has
been much criticism in the media about the attraction
being too expensive, especially as there
is only enough to do for half a day. It doesn’t help
that to exit, one must go through the souvenir
shop filled with expensive merchandise. Tickets
must be booked in advance and despite the
price, many days well into the future, are already
sold out.

Universal Studios Japan
Proving that Harry Potter is a global phenomenon,
Universal Studios Japan has announced that
work has begun on the first Harry Potter attraction
in Asia, leaving only Universal Studios Singapore
as the only park group without a Wizarding World
on offer.
Due to open in late 2014, Japan’s expansion will
open a full year ahead of Universal Studios Hollywood,
and will expand the park by a fifth. Early
indications are that it will be an exact copy of
Islands of Adventure’s original "Wizarding World
of Harry Potter”. However with a budget of
$500million, double that of Florida, there’s speculation
that the attraction in Japan will have much
more to offer the Japanese visitor.
Mike Davis, Senior Vice President/Executive
Producer of Universal Studios Japan, enthuses
that "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” is a
huge project which will create many new jobs and
bring 5.6 trillion yen of economic impact to all of
Japan. "I am extremely excited about this amazing
addition to Universal Studios Japan, and am
looking forward to seeing so many wonderful
smiles in late 2014.”
Universal Studios Orlando
It’s hardly surprising that so many Universal Parks
are adding Harry Potter attractions. Universal’s
Islands of Adventure (Orlando) saw a 30% increase
in attendance the year "The Wizarding
World of Harry Potter” opened. An announcement
is also expected revealing that the original
Wizarding World is to be extended into the adjoining
Universal Studios Orlando, and will feature
a Gringotts Magic-bank themed coaster. ■

CENTRO PARK & OCEAN ADVENTURE PARK
Not at all – it was very successful. But the shopping
mall CentrO is one of the most visited destinations
in Germany, and therefore this was an opportunity we
wanted to exploit. We have the chance to also start to
build here a ‘cluster’ of our ‘midway attractions’ here is
a group of attractions such as we have for example in
Berlin, London, and Amsterdam. Midways are our 2 to
3 hour visit attractions and clustering them together in
one city as we are doing in Oberhausen not only gives
us operational and commercial benefits but most importantly
benefits visitors through the provision of
combi-tickets; special promotions and events.
Will these be erected on parts of the property
of the earlier CentrO-Park?
Yes, the park is very well landscaped, and has a
lot of potential.
And the rest of the grounds are to be redesigned
into the so-called Ocean Adventure Park?
We want to take the proven SeaLife model to a
new level: and to extend the indoor midway attraction
into a new outdoor experience with the fusion of rides
and creatures. The Ocean Adventure Park will therefore
be a hybrid concept that takes the best elements
of our theme park business and combines them with
elements from the largest aquarium brand in the world.
When showman Oscar Bruch
Jnr. decided he no longer wanted
to renew the lease on the
amusement park property located
next to Germany’s large
shopping mall CentrO in Oberhausen
at the end of 2010, and
Merlin Entertainments took over
the management of the small
amusement park at short notice
in March last year, the speculation
was that the new operator
would most probably invest in
the around 10 hectare area, in order
to secure continuation.
Text: Frank Lanfer
Photos: Merlin Entertainments
Now it’s official: the Merlin Entertainments Group
(Merlin), which has been successfully operating
a SeaLife-aquarium here since 2004, intends to extend
their investment in Oberhausen, and open two
other attractions at CentrO. Merlin is planning to invest
around 15 million Euro by spring 2013 in the
town. This includes moving their Legoland Discovery
Centre from its current location in Duisburg to Oberhausen.
This two to three hour indoor experience
based on the popular LEGO toy will include popular
entertainments such as a 4D-cinema, play-workshops,
a number of ride attractions, and a Miniland
with local architecture and landmarks.
In the meantime CentrO-Park will undergo a complete
transformation and when it reopens in 2013 will
showcase an exciting new concept from Merlin. We
spoke exclusively about this the company’s plans
with James Burleigh, Divisional Director Midway
Europe, who has worked with Merlin for 19 years and
is responsible for the Oberhausen attractions
amongst others.
Why is Germany’s first Legoland Discovery
Centre being moved from Duisburg to Oberhausen.
Was the location not successful?
That sounds like an exciting new Merlin-product.
Which and how many different attractions are
planned to go into the new Ocean Adventure Park?
The development will take place in a number of
phases and should be completed within three to four
years. When Ocean Adventure Park opens in April
2013 there will be initially one main attraction: a water
attraction based on an Antarctic theme and taking
visitors through various penguin habitats. The new
concept will carry clear conservation messages and
help visitors understand more about the Antarctic and
these amazing and at times very amusing creatures.
Apart from new “Polar X-Plorer” attraction at
Merlin’s Legoland Billund, up until now such a
successful symbiosis of rides and animal habitats
was considered to be more preeminent to the Sea-
World parks, which belong to the same investment
group as Merlin Entertainments. Will any help and
support come from colleagues in the USA?
No. The two companies are entirely separate and
also have very different operating philosophies particularly
with regard to the care, breeding and conservation
of marine and other animals. We would for example
never tolerate the keeping of whales and dolphins
in captivity, but where we have at times acquired
80

usinesses which historically have included shows or
displays which involve these creatures, Merlin can
hopefully always improve such situations. Our objective
in such situations is always to work with the team
and experts to develop plans which we believe are in
the best interest of the animals involved including upgrading
environments, adapting shows to remove
‘tricks’ and instead concentrate on the creatures’
natural behaviour; and if at all possible to move them
to another natural habitat.
So, will no SeaWorld Germany come into being
at Oberhausen?
Absolutely not. Ocean Adventure Park will be
nothing like Sea World. It is not a theme park for one
thing but a 2 or 3 hour experience; but most importantly
the operation will be underlined by all the expertise
and caring of the SeaLife team and brand.
Thank you very much, and we wish you a lot of
success. We’ll us meet in 2013 in Oberhausen.

SEA WORLD ORLANDO

noblekom, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment
A new type of 3D-cinema experience worldwide
has been available at SeaWorld Orlando, Florida
since the end of April 2012, which can be described
as an extension of the well known 180°cinema
with the latest technology, and with that
puts the 360°-cinemas from the Disney competitor
well in the shade.
Here there are not just single and more or less
small screens in the round auditorium, but the
complete round dome becomes a complete
screen: the six minute computer generated 3Dfilm
experience is made possible with 34 projectors
that connect underwater pictures smoothly.
Additionally 368,000 luminous light fluxes flow
together, whilst sound effects are produced from
22 channels in order to bring about a magical
underwater reality.
The main actor is the baby turtle named Nyah that
goes on an adventurous and dangerous journey,
and experiences in the process the wonder of the
ocean: from birth in the sands, to an unprotected
way through the open sea, the dangers and the
gorging enemies, until the return to the sands of
birth where she lays her eggs.
And SeaWorld wouldn’t be SeaWorld if there were
no appeals to the audience to partake in the
saving of the planet and the ocean. This is also
mirrored in the video game "Race for the Beach”
once again, which is presented on large video
screens that have been installed around the actual
attraction, and provides entertainment and increased
knowledge.
And naturally the SeaWorld concept was adhered
to with the new attraction, with entertainment
attractions combined with close up meetings with
animals: before the almost 200 person cinema is
reached, visitors pass two huge habitats. Whilst
one aquarium holds sweet water fish and the
Florida native manatees (the new attraction actually
uses the earlier building of the "Manatee Rescue”),
the other is filled with over 1,000 saltwater
fish and 15 marine turtles.

SIAM PARK
At the beginning of the year
there were a lot of rumours
about a second Siam Park that in
the fantasy of a number of
zealous newspaper reporters
was to be erected on Grand
Canary. The reality is, Park Manager
and Vice President Christoph
Kiessling assured Kirmes
& Park Revue, that there isn’t
even a plan for it. However, in
July a generous extension to the
185,000 m 2 sized Thai themed
Siam Park that opened in 2008
located on the Costa Adeje in
southern Tenerife will be completed.
The owner-family Kiessling has invested 2.5
million Euro for the kiddie zone "Sawasdee”
(Thai for "Welcome”), as up until now there was
only little on offer for family and children, or rather,
most of the slides were too awe-inspiring.
However very soon there will be more on offer for
the younger guests – and all separated from the
thrill area. Erected will be a small pool and four
larger slides for children: Mini Naga Racer (a fourlane
slide), "Mini-Dragón” (a small version of the
most popular attraction at the park), and two
standard slides.

New: Kiddie Area & Mega Slide
The absolute highlight this year will however be
the "Megatobogán Kinnaree”, an impressive slide
with a 210 m length. The word describes the Buddhist
mythology of woman and bird, and the over
200 m long, richly curved water slide will be the
first of its type in Europe. It begins at a 25 m height
and reaches a high speed thanks to the 45° slope.
All the new slides are supplied by the Canadian
manufacturer ProSlide, whilst the theming is from
the Italian artist Paolo Bonano.
New: More Comfort & Relaxing
Further novelties at Siam Park are a VIP-villa where
up to 15 guests can chill out alone during an allinclusive-day,
and the improvement to the surfing
area in the "Wave Palace” area. The artificial
waves were already the highest in the world at 4
m, but are to be now technically improve. ■

Wet ‘n Wild
This is the first novelty in 4 years. With that, manufacturer
ProSlide could realize the larger version of
its so-called "Ride House Ride ’n Spray Structure”:
the complex structure is over 15 metres high and
contains 15 smaller slides and 160 water jets. ■
It’s well known that competition livens up
business, and there’s plenty of that in central
Florida. The mother of all water parks has not
been spared either.
For a number of years now, the Universal operated
water park Wet ’n Wild Orlando, which was opened
by George Millay, the co-founder of the SeaWorld-
Parks, and in the earlier stages host to many
innovation premières, is not only confronted by
competition from Disney and SeaWorld, but now
also by the family water park at Legoland Florida.
As a reaction to this at the beginning of June the
4,000 m 2 family area "Blastaway Beach” was
opened – only a few days before the (re)-opening
of the newly designed Cypress Gardens Water Park
that without a doubt is a big draw due to its Legotheme.
EUROPA-PARK & NWAVE
An unusual and somewhat scurrile way has been
chosen by Mack Media, a subsidiary of Mack
Rides.
The especially for Europa-Park produced 3D-cinema
film "The Secrets of Balthazar Castle”, which
was found to be positively a cut above the usual
productions that are presented in all other theme
parks since the winter opening period, is to be
presented worldwide. The Belgian firm nWave has
been contracted, which will immediately offer the
15-minute production under the name of "Castle
Secret”. Somewhat peculiar, as the Balthazar
Castle only exists at Europa-Park as well as the
Euro-Mouse, one of the main heroes of the film, as
well as being the park mascot.

MAJORCA
New on Majorca: two companies
intend to erect the first so-called
“Hotel Park Resort Experience”
on the popular tourist island, in
a win-win-partnership.
Text: H. Jürgen Kagelmann

The largest hotel company in Spain, Meliá Hotels
International (founded in1956, 350 hotels in 35
countries) and the Katmandu Park in Magaluf
south west of Majorca have come up with an
interesting agreement. Meliá is currently building a
mega-resort on Calvia Beach in that 6 already
existing hotels are being brought up to 4-Star-level,
being rebuilt into theme hotels, with new bars,
restaurants and beach-clubs to bring a touch of
Miami to the area. The most important element in
the course of this action is the Katmandu Park that
is in existence since 2007, which will be newly
pepped up.
This interactive theme park was founded by the
American couple Scott Demerau and K.G Johnson
(Producciones de Parques, S.L), and contained at
that time 5 attractions as well as gastronomy establishments.
The centre is the noticeable from afar Upsidedown-
Mystery-Fun-"House of Katmandu”, where the illusion
is given that the world is upside-down in 8
themed rooms on 1,600 m 2 .
The centre point is "Boro” (The Great) mythology
figure, one of the last Abominable Snowmen. Other
protagonists are Kilgore the
mysterious adventurer, and
the mermaid Rojalisa.
A separate 4D-cinema offers
6 different films that are
shown in rotation, amongst
them the well known film in
Germany "Haunted Mine”
from nWave. There is also an
interactive shooting construction
"Desperados” von
Alterface.
Another attraction called
"Asylum” (for adults only) is
defined as a "themed 5D
suspense ride” thematising
the experience in an abandoned
mental hospital,
where it’s easy to get in, but
hard to get out. In this "abandoned asylum where
patients have spent their lives in fear, there’s danger
in every corner” (brochure), there are rain and
wind effects among others. The attraction produced
in Poland is rich in curious horror fun in
Spanish-British adult taste, which would have little
sense in Germany – even apart from the discrimination
of the psychologically ill.
For those who prefer a more peaceful type of
entertainment there is the themed mini-golf-park (3
million Euro) "Expedition Golf” with two different 18-
hole courses, themed as Glacier Valley (ice-world)
and Fire Gods’ Challenge (fire world) with special
effects such as a fire show and water bombs.
Entrance price is between 16 Euro (for the park)
and 25 Euro (for the combi-ticket).
According to information from the company, the
park and mini-golf (2011) had 300,000 visitors.
That will probably increase this year, as the newly
designed hotel with its new façades will draw many
tourists looking for entertainment. In 2013 there will
be two new Darkrides added; one will be a Pirates
Shooting Attraction.
Magaluf, better known over the past years for the
excesses of the British cheap tourist,
will become the leading experience
destination in Majorca after the
island operates two water parks –
"Western Water Park” und "Aqualand
Magaluf” – as well as a new wave
pool in planning. Considering the
tourist mass until now with amazingly
little theme park potential on Majorca
(four water parks as well as the marine
animal Marineland and Palma
Aquarium, and the shelved,
previously planned Bible Park), the
area will receive a very strong push
in the right direction.

LEGOLAND CALIFORNIA

Legoland California
At the beginning of June, a new attraction went
into operation at California’s Legoland. It is the
first in Legoland, in the water park and also
theme park area, to demand a separate ticket for
entry.
And in this case it makes a lot of sense as it’s a socalled
"Shoot-the-Chutes”, a ride that has the main
task of wetting riders and viewers right down to
their undies! The fact that with a height of only seven
and a half metres, it is extremely
child-friendly doesn’t
change anything when the two
15-seat boats drop into cool
waters.

Over thirty pirate models from
more than 220,000 Lego bricks
provide the relevant theming.
One of the manufacturers that has
specialised in this type of summer
entertainment is the North American
firm O.D. Hopkins, which has
supplied the new "Pirate Reef” at
Legoland California.

FANTA WILD
Text: Frank Lanfer
In addition to the park group OCT, there’s another
Chinese enterprise that has expanded
strongly – and it appears this won’t be restricted
to the domestic market in the future.
The media company FantaWild had originally presented
itself solely as a manufacturer of 3D and 4D
animations at international exhibitions, but then
erected its own theme park in the Chinese city of
Wuhu in 2008. This Fantawild Adventure Theme
Park has since been visited by 11 million guests
and spurred on by this success 4 other Fantawild-
Parks were opened in China within a very short time
– and another 10 to 13 are in planning. The group
also intends to expand overseas: at the end of 2012
a FantaWild-Park is to open in the Iranian city of
Esfahan, and there are also current plans for new
parks in the Ukraine and in South Africa. ■

TEA/AECOM GLOBAL ATTRACTIONS ATTENDANCE REPORT 2011

David Camp
AECOM / TEA
Despite, or perhaps due to, the tough economic
times the global theme park industry is continuing
to go from strength to strength. Total admissions
to the world’s top 25 theme parks rose to a new record
volume in 2011. Over 196 million visits were
made to these parks, almost 4 % more than in 2010
and a growth of more than 6 % since 2007.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the industry
is that through the longest, deepest recession that
the world has ever encountered, the theme park industry
is one of the few sectors that has exhibited
sustained growth.
Most of the top 25 parks increased their visitor numbers
in 2011 with some parks showing exceptional
growth. The ongoing appeal of Harry Potter increased
visitors to Universal’s Islands of Adventure by
29 % in 2011 and this was on top of a 42 % increase
in 2010. In two years, Harry Potter has added almost
3.5 million visits to Islands of Adventure. No
wonder Universal is looking to add Harry Potter
lands to their parks in Hollywood and Japan.
The big growth in 2011 took place in the Asian market.
the Ocean Park in Hong Kong (29 %), and Hong
Kong Disneyland (14 %) and Nagashima Spa Land
in Japan (30 %) all reported double-digit percentage
attendance growth. The only other of the
world’s top 25 parks to achieve this was SeaWorld
California in San Diego.
The impressive growth in Asian parks has led to
attendance at the top 20 parks in Asia breaking the
100 million figure for the first time. North America
still tops the geographic rankings but Asia is catching
up fast and if the pace of growth continues Asia
will overtake North America soon.
The Key Facts
■ 196 million visits to worlds top 25 theme parks in
2011; up 3.8 %
■ 337 million visits to attractions run by top 10
operating groups in 2011; up 4.7 %
■ 127 million visits to top 20 North American theme
parks in 2011; up 2.9 %
■ 103 million visits to top 20 Asian theme parks in
2011; up 7.5 %
■ 58 million visits to top 20 European theme parks
in 2011; up 2.8 %
■ 25 million visits to the world’s top 20 water parks
in 2011; up 12.9%
