KALEIDOSCOPE<br />
PARKOUR<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Helmut Bresler<br />
Satisfied with the new<br />
lighting: “<strong>Park</strong>our” owner<br />
Andreas Aigner<br />
Convinced by extensive<br />
testing at<br />
the backflash of<br />
one of the gondolas,<br />
Andreas Aigner<br />
has now also<br />
had the remaining<br />
19 gondola backflashes<br />
equipped<br />
with the latest<br />
LED lighting elements.<br />
Meanwhile, more<br />
than 10,000 modern<br />
lighting elements provide the perfect lighting for<br />
the ride. Classic spotlights are used during loading<br />
to illuminate the entire round ride with bright light<br />
for security reasons only. During the ride, the<br />
attraction is completely illuminated by LED lights<br />
though. Even though the seller’s promises relating<br />
to the new light concept at the gondolas had<br />
whetted the owner’s curiosity, he had hesitated at<br />
first and wanted to try out the effects with only one<br />
gondola. Immediately convinced by the experiment<br />
at the Bremen Freimarkt, Andreas Aigner<br />
had the remaining gondolas re-equipped during<br />
the Hamburg Frühlingsdom. According to Andreas<br />
Aigner, the variety of colours as well as the impressive<br />
brightness of the LEDs, highly effective<br />
also in daylight, tipped the scales towards the<br />
investment. There are 140 LEDs on each gondola,<br />
amounting to a total of 2,800. Since 2009 – in other<br />
words for five years – the unique “<strong>Park</strong>our” ride has<br />
been in the Munich showman family’s collection.<br />
The construction is based on the “Sound Factory”<br />
round ride from Schwarzkopf, and was thoroughly<br />
overhauled and modernised by Gerstlauer Amusement<br />
Rides.<br />
■<br />
The “Devils Manor” has<br />
become “Terror Factory”<br />
TERROR FACTORY<br />
Text & Photos: Patrick Vanstipelen<br />
This season, the ghost ride from Stephane<br />
Vanderzeypen/Janssens from Belgium surprised<br />
visitors with a completely new design. The “Devils<br />
Manor” has changed into the “Terror Factory”.<br />
According to the owner, redesigning the ride with the<br />
new “Terror Factory” theme included the installation<br />
of many new animatronics. For the first time, the<br />
newly designed ghost ride could be admired at the<br />
Sinksenfoor in Antwerp.<br />

PIRATEN TRIP<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Norman Vogt<br />
After 15 years, Nik Schultze from Bochum parted<br />
with his “Piraten Trip” kiddie ride last autumn.<br />
The new owner is Marcel Hardt from Bonn.<br />
With this ride, Hardt has purchased a very popular<br />
guest of many years standing at many prestigious<br />
events, which has thoroughly impressed visitors, not<br />
least because of its<br />
flamboyant theme.<br />
The construction,<br />
which requires just<br />
one trailer for transportation,<br />
has<br />
ground measurements<br />
of 12 x 4.5 m,<br />
a flight height of 8 m,<br />
and electrical requirements<br />
of 40 kW.<br />
The ship accommodates<br />
24 passengers,<br />
including<br />
adults. Perfectly fitting in with the theme, the ride<br />
chips are collected by a member of the staff in a<br />
pirate costume. In the second half of the season,<br />
Marcel Hardt will present the “Piraten Trip” at, among<br />
other venues, Speyer, Friedrichshafen, Coburg,<br />
Wittlich, Bonn, Crailsheim, Bad Hersfeld, Rhede,<br />
and Werne.<br />

AQUA KING<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Michael Petersen<br />
In early June, Oliver Jung and his<br />
partner Melanie Bartling from<br />
Kreuztal near Düren took over<br />
the “Aqua King” ride from the<br />
Fehlauer family, who had themselves<br />
purchased the attraction<br />
from Andreas Zinnecker only at<br />
the beginning of this year.<br />
Oliver Jung has now parted with his “Disney-Flug”<br />
kiddie ride in favour of the “Aqua King”. His new<br />
purchase is a true novelty for the fairgrounds in North-<br />
Rhine Westphalia as this unique ride (at least, unique<br />
within Germany) has only appeared in Aachen once<br />
before so far. Under management of the new owner,<br />
the attraction has already been presented at the<br />
Schützenfest in Düsseldorf-Eller, the Halver Fair, and<br />
the Remscheid Summer<br />
Fair. In addition to<br />
the “Aqua King”<br />
Oliver Jung and Melanie<br />
Bartling also<br />
tour a “Churros” operation<br />
and a crêpesbooth.<br />

FREAK<br />

Première in Bayreuth:<br />
Zinnecker’s “Freak”<br />
The proud owners Alexander<br />
and Angelique Zinnecker<br />
At its première at the Bayreuth<br />
Volksfest, the new propeller<br />
attraction from Alexander Zinnecker<br />
fascinated the public with its<br />
predominant colours green and<br />
yellow. After a particular attraction<br />
was cancelled in Bayreuth, Alexander<br />
Zinnecker stepped in at short<br />
notice, building up his novelty ride<br />
virtually overnight. Originally, the<br />
delivery date had been scheduled<br />
for the late summer, but the Dutch<br />
manufacturer KMG rescheduled the<br />
building of the “Freak” to an earlier<br />
date at short notice. More than 40<br />
examples of this ride type have<br />
already been delivered all over the<br />
globe. The specialists from KMG<br />
were present when the construction<br />
commenced operation, and no<br />
problems arose either during the<br />
build-up, or during the first test runs,<br />
thereby providing for the complete<br />
satisfaction of Alexander and<br />
Angelique Zinnecker. According to<br />
the owner, the short build-up and dismantling<br />
times, the compact<br />
measurements, as well as the construction’s<br />
impressive 40-metre<br />
height were the reasons for purchasing<br />
the ride. They offer new potential<br />
to make the Freak a revolutionary<br />
attraction and a real crowd puller, true<br />
to the chosen motto: “Arouse the<br />
freak inside you!” The première<br />
planned to take place in Neustadt/<br />
Danube was cancelled. Further<br />

NEW PRODUCTS<br />
“Freak” during<br />
construction in Wiesbaden<br />
venues planned for this season that have either already<br />
taken place or are currently scheduled are, among others,<br />
Wiesbaden, Waldkraiburg, Geneva (Switzerland), Landshut,<br />
Freising, Delbrück, Amberg and Cologne. The backflash<br />
for the “Freak” is still being constructed and is conceived<br />
to conspicuously further justify the chosen name.<br />
“It will be a solid backflash; no tarpaulin”, said the owner.<br />
In addition to the “Freak” Alexander<br />
Zinnecker also continues to operate<br />
the “Street-Fighter" swing. Technical<br />
details of the “Freak” propeller:<br />
Ground measurements 18 x 6<br />
metres, approved by TÜV Süd<br />
Munich, 8 seats, LED-lights only. ■<br />
HANG OVER<br />
Text & Photo:<br />
Ton Koppei<br />
At the end of April, the young Dutch showman Frits Dauphin<br />
from Bergen op Zoom celebrated his première with his<br />
novelty “Hang Over”. The compact and colourful swing, which<br />
was delivered by the Czech firm Fun Light located in Brandys nad<br />
Labem, was presented in Oegstgeest for the first time. Afterwards<br />
it appeared at, among other venues, Venlo-Blerick and Heerlen.<br />
This season, Dauphin, who will also continue to tour his “Walking<br />
Street” Walkthrough construction, will present his new ride at,<br />
among other venues, Oss, Alkmaar, and Sittard.<br />

DISCOVERY REVOLUTION<br />
The brand new “Discovery<br />
Revolution” at the Vienna Prater<br />
providing over-the-top rides<br />
Text & Photos: Ralf Schmitt<br />
The new star among the major rides at the Vienna<br />
Prater has arrived; the “Discovery Revolution”.<br />
With an impressing flight height of 37 metres, the novelty<br />
from the Steindl family outdoes its predecessor<br />
“Discovery” by far. Moreover, the new attraction provides<br />
an over-the-top ride experience. It is the first “Discovery<br />
Revolution” built by Zamperla in Italy with the passengers<br />
seated facing inwards. On the other three previously built<br />
examples (constructed in the USA, Italy, and New<br />
Zealand), visitors are seated facing forwards. ■<br />
The previous model was<br />
dismantled after the 2013<br />
season and then the site was<br />
prepared for its large successor<br />

SPRING RIDE ROTATING<br />
KMG NEWS<br />
Text & Photos: Ralf Schmitt<br />
“Lollipop” is the name of a new<br />
15-metre family tower attraction<br />
at the Vienna Prater.<br />
The owner of the “Spring Ride<br />
Rotating” example from Moser<br />
Rides is the Kern firm. No doubt,<br />
the special feature is the mast<br />
rotating on its own axis, while the<br />
12-seat gondola is bounced up<br />
and down hydraulically. Another<br />
interesting feature is that the construction<br />
requires a ground area<br />
of just 6.10 x 6.10 metres. The<br />
“Lollipop” takes the site of the<br />
rather unfortunate “Octopus”<br />
ride.<br />
■<br />
The ride manufacturer KMG has yet again announced “full<br />
order books until August 2015”.<br />
First, three “Freak Out” constructions were built and delivered to<br />
customers in the USA early this year. The months of April to July<br />
were reserved for the production and delivery of attractions for<br />
European customers, among them the “Speed” Propeller for<br />
Dutch showman Bethel Thelen (“Jekyll & Hyde”) and Al (“Freak”),<br />
as well as an “Inversion” called “Swing Out” for Hugo Johansen<br />
from the Norwegian “Hugos Tivoli”. Moreover, “Inversion”<br />
examples will shortly be delivered to Powers Great American<br />
Midway and PJP Happee Days Shows in the USA. The first<br />
example of a completely new version of the KMG classic<br />
“Discovery” was ordered by the Australian customer Caine Brown.<br />
The new version will be taller than its predecessor, has 20<br />
suspended seats and a backdrop, is equipped with a LED/RGB<br />
lighting system, has low energy consumption and can be built up<br />
and dismantled by 2 people within 3 hours. Prospects 2015:<br />
There are plans to build the prototype of a “single transport” ride<br />
accommodating 24 people – further information will be announced<br />
by KMG late this year. Prospects 2016: The first “Giant Inversion”<br />
is scheduled to be delivered to a European customer in the spring<br />
– height: 62 metres! Further already known details of this giant: 4<br />
transport vehicles and 24 seats. The design of this construction<br />
will be introduced at the EAS in Amsterdam.<br />

Crange<br />
“So geht <strong>Kirmes</strong>” (“That’s how a fair<br />
should be!”) is the motto of the 579 th<br />
Crange Fair that will be held from 1 st<br />
to 10 th August, and will no doubt<br />
once again attract more than three<br />
million visitors from near and far to the Rhein-<br />
Herne-Kanal. Let's take a closer look at the<br />
largest fair in North-Rhine Westphalia, then consider<br />
the event’s facts and figures that so<br />
impressively prove that the Crange organisers<br />
truly know “…how a fair should be”.<br />
From more than 1,600 showman operations applying<br />
for approval to this year’s event, some 500 were<br />
chosen to once again offer visitors a colourful<br />
mixture of regular participants and novelties. For<br />
many years, the Crange Fair has been extensively<br />
advertised. With Timo Krupp, the authorities are<br />
able to also afford a city spokesman who keeps the<br />
fair in the mind of the public the whole year round,<br />
as well as keeping those responsible in the specialist<br />
departments focused on the event. Interesting<br />
facts and upcoming novelties are announced<br />
throughout the year. This “baiting” works out<br />
perfectly and arouses the public’s curiosity about<br />
the event. Already at this early stage, social net-<br />
Text: Michael Petersen<br />
Photos: Norman Vogt, Heiko Schimazik<br />
works are involved in the promotional initiatives, as<br />
they are an important advertising medium today.<br />
Moreover, the ample choice of merchandising<br />
products is becoming increasingly popular from<br />
year to year, with the limited edition of fair pins being<br />
the best-selling article. This year, mascot Fritz will<br />
ride on the ghost ride accompanied by a spook. The<br />
pin is available at the Stadtmarketing Herne GmbH<br />
Ticketshop at the city hall gate and at the Wanne city<br />
office. The opening of the Crange Fair will be held<br />
on 1 st August at 2 p.m. this year with Lord Mayor<br />
Horst Schiereck tapping the first keg of fair beer in<br />
the presence of VIPs from the local and regional<br />
scenes and the subsequent performance of this<br />
year’s guest star, Heino.<br />
Horse Market, Fireworks Display and<br />
<strong>Special</strong> Events<br />
As is well-known, the Crange Fair has its origins in<br />
a horse market. According to this ancient tradition<br />
various presentations and sales stalls will be offered<br />
at the traditional venue on Thursday, and in the<br />
evening the "Citizen Night" will be celebrated in the<br />
Bayernfesthalle beer tent. Outstanding programme<br />
highlights will be the opening and the closing fireworks<br />
displays, two magnificent events offering the<br />
latest pyrotechnic effects. On Saturday, the long<br />
festival procession will wind through the streets.<br />

SPECIAL<br />
Evening atmosphere at<br />
the Crange Fair<br />
ANNIVERSARY<br />
The Herne showman<br />
Reinhard Meeß celebrated<br />
a special anniversary<br />
with his kiddie<br />
baroque chain ride at<br />
the Crange Fair this<br />
year.<br />
For 20 years, it has been<br />
“Piel op no Crange” for<br />
him and his magnificent<br />
kiddie ride. The chain<br />
ride has been equipped<br />
with various new LED<br />
light segments, and the<br />
wrought iron crowd barriers<br />
have been ornately<br />
decorated. While the<br />
children are making their<br />
rounds, their parents can<br />
take a little rest on the<br />
new benches in the<br />
middle of a beautiful<br />
flower display. ■<br />
With a successful combination of traditional and<br />
modern themes, a mixture of carnival, Techno, Pop<br />
and folk music, groups on foot and festival floats, it<br />
will prove to be a procession of generations for<br />
every generation. All the other programme highlights<br />
during the opening week, including the<br />
Family Day, Senior's Day, Tag der Vereine<br />
(Associations Day) and other special events, will<br />
remain unchanged. The fair passes are now a<br />
fixture within the ample array of special features.<br />
After initial justifiable criticism, the benefit gained<br />
from fairground passes has now become clear.<br />
Somewhat weak weekdays are livened up by them<br />
and entice more visitors to the Rhein-Herne-Kanal.<br />
This feature is not free for the showmen though as<br />
every voucher is “subsidised”.<br />
Crange Novelties<br />
“At Crange” the latest and most spectacular attractions<br />
are gathering – along with fairground classics.<br />
At the press conference, Werner Friedhoff, head<br />
official at the Herne Public Order Office, was able to<br />
announce a number of novelties for this year. With<br />
the “Mega King Tower” from Zinnecker, the Crange<br />
Fair will present what is probably the most spectacular<br />
novelty of this season. The tallest transportable<br />
mega Drop Tower will provide a magnificent<br />
view across the fairground and the Ruhr region at a<br />
height of 80 metres.<br />
Crange is “Ruhrpott pure”<br />

Greetings from the<br />
Crange Fair<br />
Thrill seekers / adrenalin junkies will also get their<br />
money’s worth on the second novelty, Löffelhardt’s<br />
“Predator”, which turning the world upside down,<br />
guarantees a particularly intense and varied ride.<br />
The “Traumgenerator” (Lemoine-Häsler), a show<br />
with many effects and surprises, will take its passengers<br />
to a futuristic world of dreams. This year, two<br />
novelties will provide a creepy atmosphere. Fellerhoff’s<br />
“Geisterstadt” will make its début in Herne,<br />
bringing with it a horde of new, moving figures.<br />
The classic multi-storey ghost ride with its magnificent<br />
first-class interior will give its passengers some<br />
creepy experiences. Moreover, a creepy show programme<br />
will be offered in front of the Geisterstadt.<br />
This is also true for the “Horror-Lazarett” (Lehmann/<br />
Weeber), where "patients” are “helped” without<br />
appointments or health insurance. A visit to the<br />
military hospital – particularly with the gruesome<br />
operating theatres, doctors, nurses and the grisly<br />
mortuary – is an experience not for the faint-hearted.<br />
The selection of novelties for Crange also includes<br />
the “Twister” from Eick and the large “Around the<br />
World” chain ride. With the “Alpina-Bahn” from<br />
Bruch, the largest transportable family coaster will<br />
come to the largest Volksfest in North-Rhine Westphalia<br />
once again this year, along with Renoldi’s<br />
“Höllenblitz” and the popular “Wilde Maus” (Eberhard-Göbel).<br />
A total of five dodgem tracks will be<br />
available to the visitors once again. With the rebuilt<br />
and newly designed example from Karl Quante,<br />
there will even be an (almost) completely new construction<br />
along with the “Diamond” dodgem track<br />
(Hartkopf-Osselmann), “No.1” (Isken), “Drive In”<br />
(Schmidt) and the traditionally presented Petter’s<br />
“Starlight”. In addition to the aforementioned<br />
novelties from the show and fun sector, Lehmann’s<br />
“Geisterschlange” will also be built up at Crange.<br />
While the fortune tellers Ronja and Medusa will<br />
provide visitors with a glimpse into the future,<br />

Wheel” on the Saturday afternoon,<br />
for which 50 OV readers will be<br />
drawn by lot as participants. On<br />
Sunday at 10 a.m. a church<br />
service will be held in the Niedersachsen<br />
beer hall, and the large<br />
horse and cattle market will open<br />

WENDEN<br />
Text:<br />
Michael Petersen<br />
The community of Wenden<br />
(19,900 residents) is located in<br />
the south of the Olpe district, in<br />
the southern-most corner of the<br />
Sauerland. Currently there are<br />
100 too-few residents for<br />
Wenden to obtain municipal<br />
rights. The “Kärmetze”, as the<br />
largest Volksfest in South Westphalia<br />
has always been called,<br />
always begins on the third Tuesday<br />
in August. It is officially<br />
opened on the previous weekend<br />
though, and remains closed<br />
on the Monday. In other words,<br />
with so much celebrating going<br />
on it is deemed necessary to<br />
close the event for one day!<br />
This year, the Kärmetze, which<br />
evolved from a church festival, will<br />
be held on 16 th , 17 th and 19 th August.<br />
The Cologne Suffragan bishop in<br />
earlier times scheduled the date of<br />
the parish fair for the Sunday prior<br />
to “Assumption Day”. Merchants<br />
and jugglers met all around the<br />
church, and the event focused on a<br />
large bric-a-brac and livestock<br />
market, known far beyond the<br />
Wenden region at that time. Only in<br />
the second half of the 19 th century<br />
did the first comedians, carousels,<br />
shooting galleries, barrel organ<br />
players and Wheels of Fortune<br />
come to the community. Over the<br />
centuries, the event evolved into the<br />
largest Volksfest in South Westphalia. This year, a total<br />
of 400 showman enterprises and market merchants<br />
were chosen from the applications received. The brica-brac<br />
market offers a varied product range and boasts<br />
a vast amount of goods. The official opening of the event<br />
will take place in front of the town hall on Saturday at 3<br />
p.m. After the music programme by the Heid Musikverein,<br />
there will be a joint stroll to the opening ceremony<br />
at the Ferris Wheel where, after the speech and the<br />
tapping of the keg by Mayor Peter Büser, the rides will<br />
eventually make their rounds. On the Saturday evening<br />
the fireworks display will once again illuminate the<br />
Wenden skies. The church service on Sunday will be<br />
followed by the morning concert inside the beer tent,<br />
and the rides as well as the bric-a-brac market will open<br />
at 10 a.m. On Monday, the event will be closed as<br />
already stated, and on Tuesday the hustle and bustle<br />
will begin as early as 8 a.m. with the livestock show and<br />
the awarding of prizes. From 9 a.m. the fairground will<br />
open its gates once again. Nine large ride attractions<br />
and seven kiddie rides will be presented this year. Built<br />
up in the town centre and on the fairground will be the<br />
“Revolution” (Kinzler-Nickel), “Flash” (Weber). “Musik<br />
Express” (Wendler), dodgem track (Mennecke),<br />
“Columbia-Rad” (Burghard-Kleuser), “Wellenflug”<br />
(Wendler), “Wilde Maus” (Barth), “Breakdance No. 2”<br />
(Bonner) and the “Burg des Grauens” Ghost Ride (Burghard).<br />
The younger visitors will enjoy two Jet Rides, the<br />
“Truck Stop” kiddie track ride, a kiddie carousel, a<br />
kiddie Wave-Swinger, another kiddie ride and the<br />
“Crazy Clown”. This time, the attractions built up at the<br />
Kärmetze event will once again offer something for all<br />
age groups and will leave nothing to be desired.<br />
So let’s go!<br />

PREMIÈRE<br />
Première on the island of<br />
Majorca “Formula Maxx”<br />
Already last winter, the very first<br />
photos of a novelty ride on the<br />
Fabbri premises in the small<br />
Italian town of Calto were<br />
circulating on the internet. With<br />
this construction, the Fabbri<br />
Group has now realised the<br />
previously introduced “Dragon<br />
Claw” concept, but as a mobile<br />
version for touring. However, the<br />
ride that seems at first glance to<br />
be a semi-finished “Booster”<br />
turns out to be a powerful XXL<br />
swing named “Formula Maxx”.<br />
Text & Photos:<br />
Andre Blunck<br />
The 12-seat gondola is<br />
mounted to the swinging arm<br />
Formula Maxx<br />
Four years ago, for example, he<br />
purchased the prototype of the<br />
“Inversion XXL” ride, which is now<br />
touring throughout the Netherlands.<br />
He also operates a Booster Maxx<br />
The prototype was delivered to the Spanish “VB “Gigant”, whereas he sold his standard “Booster” to<br />
Grupo” of Vicente Banuls, one of the largest France a short time ago. Moreover, the showman<br />
showman group in Spain. Banuls has always been, enterprise is currently presenting a number of rides,<br />
and still is, known to Fabbri as a good customer. such as the “Jungla Encantada Rapidos” (River<br />
22
PREMIÈRE<br />
Rafting), several Spinning Coasters, the “Extreme”<br />
(Top Scan) and many other attractions throughout<br />
Spain.<br />
Now the “Formula Maxx” has been added to Banuls’s<br />
selection of attractions. While the giant propeller ride<br />
type “Booster” provides thrill seeking passengers<br />
with a number of inversions, high speed and strong<br />
g-forces, the “Formula Maxx” is more family oriented<br />
for the simple reason that it does not turn its passengers<br />
upside down. Nevertheless, the attraction<br />
should not be underestimated; after all, its arm with<br />
the gondola locked to it has a maximum outward<br />
swing of 95 degrees, and its daring passengers are<br />
subjected to g-forces of up to 3.6 g as they are then<br />
hurled through the boarding area. The ride is<br />
effectively accompanied by fog effects and the shrill<br />
noise of Formula 1 engines further enhancing the ride<br />
experience.<br />
At the time of our visit, the ride was very well<br />
frequented, even by visiting families. With the arm’s<br />
maximum outward swing of about 30 metres, the<br />
attraction does not break any records though as far<br />
as height is concerned. The prototype is dominated<br />
by the colours red and yellow, has a Formula 1<br />
design, and is equipped with a number of LEDs and<br />
an LCD screen. “Formula Maxx” celebrated its<br />
première at the “Fira del Ram” on the island of<br />
Majorca, from where it went on to the well-known<br />
“Feria de Abril” in Seville. Further subsequent<br />
venues were Chiclana de la Frontera and San Juan<br />
en León. The attraction, similar in construction to the<br />
successful “Booster”, requires only two transport<br />
vehicles. The manufacturer offers this ride type also<br />
with other themes.<br />

PREMIÈRE<br />
The “Swiss Tower” at its<br />
official inauguration in<br />
Frauenfeld<br />
On 14 th June 2014 at about 10<br />
a.m., “Conquest of Paradise”<br />
sounded from the loudspeakers<br />
of the “Swiss Tower” on the fairground<br />
in Frauenfeld, Switzerland<br />
– and the gondola rose up to<br />
a height of 80 metres for the very<br />
first time after its official inauguration.<br />
Riding with it was its<br />
owner Hanspeter Maier and his<br />
wife Fa, as well as showmen<br />
pastor Katharina Hoby, celebrating<br />
this third construction from<br />
the “Mega Drop Tower” series,<br />
built by Funtime, on its première<br />
ride.<br />

operation, as well as their colleagues,<br />
friends and media representatives for<br />
gracing the event with their presence. Even<br />
the “Stadtpräsident” (Mayor), Carlo<br />
B<br />
Papolari, was present at the inauguration,<br />
ack on the ground again after the exhilarating freefall,<br />
the passengers were welcomed by some 100 on his operation of the newly purchased attraction. Then<br />
and wished the newly purchased attraction all the best<br />
applauding guests invited to the inauguration party –<br />
and all the daredevils from the public were then able to<br />
board and try out the latest and tallest showman attraction<br />
in Switzerland. A so-called pre-opening of the “Swiss<br />
Tower” had already taken place at the Chilibi in Urdorf<br />
some days earlier where, according to the owner, the<br />
construction had worked flawlessly. In Frauenfeld, the<br />
elegant white tower, provided with exquisite lighting<br />
after sundown by 52,800 LEDs from the Kairies firm, was<br />
visible even from the autobahn. After the inauguration<br />
ceremony held by showmen pastor Katharina Hoby,<br />
Hanspeter Maier – himself hailing from Frauenfeld –<br />
thanked those responsible from the city authorities, the<br />
Funtime firm, for the harmonious and unhindered co-<br />
Hanspeter Maier put on gloves and smashed a bottle of<br />
champagne against the handrail, thereby opening a generous<br />
buffet. While the attraction is predominantly painted<br />
in white, its supports and centrepiece are a deep<br />
red. The metal panels along the stairs were covered with<br />
pictures of cities where Maier regularly presents his<br />
attractions. Apart from Zurich there are, among others,<br />
paintings of St. Gallen, Lucerne, and Basle – all of them<br />
cities where the “Swiss Tower” will make an appearance<br />
this year. Maier’s tower does without a backflash, as it is<br />
to be built up in the centre of the fairground at most Swiss<br />
venues. Between the two stairs, a decorative Swiss cow<br />
“slouches” – also sporting a “Swiss Tower” tattoo.<br />
Further venues of the tower in its première year will be<br />
24
Winterthur and the Seehasenfest in Friedrichshafen,<br />
Germany. H.P. Maier even had to tell a short but<br />
enthralling story at the opening; specifically that the<br />
tower had been struck by lightning during a heavy<br />
thunderstorm just the day before! However, after a<br />
moment of shock, a subsequent reset and a rebooting<br />
of the computers, the “Swiss Tower” ran without any<br />
problems. “I am completely satisfied,” said Maier. ■<br />

The largest Volksfest in Western Palatinate<br />
(23 rd May to 2 nd June) was opened on Friday<br />
at 6 p.m., and four hours later visitors were<br />
able to enjoy a colourful fireworks display.<br />
Even though visitor attendance was low on the<br />
Thursday (Ascension Day) as well as on the<br />
Monday and Tuesday, the participants were<br />
satisfied to very satisfied at the end of the event.<br />
“It was ok,” said many of them. This was not<br />
only due to the mainly good weather, but also<br />
to the harmonious mixture of operations put<br />
together from some 140 approved attractions.<br />
The “Mega King Tower” free fall tower<br />
(Zinnecker), engaged as the highlight of the<br />
event, set new height records in Kaiserslautern.<br />
The Zinnecker family also brought their<br />
“The King” ride to Palatinate. Another novelty<br />
was the “Big Bamboo” Walkthrough construction<br />
from Hempen, just as was Schramm’s<br />
“Disco Fieber”, which quickly turned out to be<br />
the favourite among teenage visitors and<br />
offered an electrifying show with music, smoke<br />
and light effects. The centre of the fairground<br />
was once again occupied by the “Jupiter”<br />
Ferris Wheel (Barth/Kipp), with the “Dschungel<br />
Train” (Blum) built up in front of it to its left, and<br />
the “Wellenflug” (Nickel) to its right. Also presented<br />
once again was the “Breakdance” from<br />
Becker, the meeting point of the younger<br />
visitors and those who are still young at heart.<br />
Further attractions on the fairground were<br />
Bergmann’s water ride, the “Take Off” (Ruppert), “Geisterschlange”<br />
(Lehmann), two dodgem tracks and the<br />
“Kerwe tent”, which was erected in the rear section. It<br />
was set up entirely without decoration and made a rather<br />
dismal impression, despite offering live events on an<br />
almost daily basis. The selection of attractions was<br />
rounded off by kiddie rides and<br />
concession stalls, as well as a<br />
varied selection of gastronomic<br />
operations. Moreover, market<br />
merchants built up their stalls<br />
on the Lautrer Maimarkt in the<br />
“Shopping-Gässje”. Just as on<br />
family day (Wednesday), the<br />
closing fireworks display on<br />
Monday once again attracted<br />
many visitors to the fairground.<br />
In addition, the Showman Association<br />
Barbarossa Pfalz-Saar<br />
e. V., in cooperation with the<br />
Kaiserslautern Kreissparkasse,<br />
came up with a special feature,<br />
“Kerwemoney” worth 10 x €1 that could be bought at the<br />
Sparkasse bank at €9. The “Dollar Day” on the second<br />
Friday was also well received, particularly with the main<br />
target group, the US Americans soldiers stationed in<br />
Kaiserslautern, who were able to pay with US Dollars at<br />
a favourable exchange rate at all the attractions. ■<br />

BAMBERG<br />
A LOOK BACK<br />
Impressions of the<br />
"Bamberg Frühling" on the<br />
new festival area<br />
Text & Photos: Helmut Bresler<br />
New name, new concept, new fairground and new<br />
momentum; that was just what the showmen in<br />
Bamberg had wished for! On the close of the threeweek<br />
event, they have achieved a decent financial<br />
result.<br />
For about 30 years, the “Bamberger Plärrer” has been<br />
held on the Breitenau fairground, and its list of participating<br />
showmen can boast of well-known names, such<br />
as Finnendahl’s “Fantastische Reise” and Barth’s<br />
“Fünfer-Looping". During the last few years there has<br />
been no consistency, however. First, the event had to<br />
be cancelled as the space was required as a car park<br />
for the Bamberg state garden show, and then a new<br />
site had to be found as the area is to be developed.<br />
One can only hope that the new “Bamberger Frühling”<br />
event has now found a permanent new home on the<br />
former site of the German-American Volksfest, at the<br />
junction of Zollnerstraße and the Berliner Ring. The<br />
area still belongs to the Americans up until the full withdrawal<br />
of the US troops on 30 th September. After that,<br />
the Bundesanstalt für Immobilenaufgaben (German<br />
Federal Agency for real estate) will decide on its future<br />
use, but the Bamberg city authorities, as organiser of<br />
the event, also hope to be able to continue to use this<br />
space as a fairground. The required infrastructure is<br />
available, but has to be adapted to requirements in<br />
some places. The fairground was successfully laid out,<br />
leaving nothing to be desired. New in Bamberg were<br />
the “X-Flight” (Uebel-Sachs), “Traumgenerator”<br />
(Lemoine & Häsler), the “Fahrt zur Hölle” ghost ride<br />
(Dom-Jollberg), as well as Alex and Störzer’s “Black<br />
out”, for which it was the second venue after its<br />
première in Nürnberg. There was no mere beer tent but<br />
a “Bierdorf”, or Beer Village, presenting different<br />
culinary offerings; a good idea, but one that requires<br />
improvement in order to present all the suppliers to<br />
best effect. The cooperation between both the<br />
professional associations has proved very successful<br />
in calling the public attention to the Bamberg Frühling.<br />
The request of the Americans to prohibit the parking of<br />
vehicles and caravans on the site for security reasons<br />
was granted. Despite good public transport connections,<br />
the current lack of car parks is a problem however.<br />
What will the future bring? Already on the old site,<br />
the autumn event in October used to cause lots of<br />
problems. A new concept and new ideas are urgently<br />
required to also continue and enhance this event. Both<br />
Bamberg events are currently going through a phase<br />
of change. While the “Bamberg Frühling” has enjoyed<br />
a good start, the autumn event is still waiting for some<br />
new inspiration.<br />

Impressions of the<br />
Maifest in Saarbrücken<br />
From 25 th April to 13 th May, on the occasion of the May<br />
Festival, the “Saarterrassen” fairground in the<br />
capital city of the Saarland was transformed into a<br />
colourful fun mile once again.<br />
A balanced entertainment contingent including an<br />
attractive supporting programme for both young and old<br />
was presented. In addition to many games and sales<br />
stalls, visitors also encountered ride attractions providing<br />
either nerve-wracking, or rather less 'demanding'<br />
ride experiences. New for Saarbrücken was the “Polyp”<br />
from Massel. The completely overhauled<br />
Schwarzkopf Monster 3<br />
celebrated a successful comeback<br />
and was very well received by the<br />
visitors, just as was the “Blue<br />
Hawaii” Twister (Pistorius), which<br />
was very well frequented. Other<br />
rides presented were the “Safarie<br />
Express” (Heiderich) and “Musik<br />
Swing” (Pistorius). Two dodgem<br />
tracks and the “Hyper Coaster” simulator<br />
rounded off the selection of<br />
attractions. Moreover, younger visitors<br />
were able to enjoy a number of<br />
kiddie rides, including the appealingly<br />
designed “Kleine Dschungelreise”. Every Tuesday,<br />
children paid reduced prices, and the Family Day with<br />
fares reduced by half on all rides was held on 8 th May.<br />
The May Festival was closed by a magnificent fireworks<br />
display in the skies above Saarbrücken on 13 th May. ■<br />

The 492 nd Pfingstmasche event,<br />
which was organised by the Altmärkischer<br />
Schaustellerverein,<br />
opened its gates in temperatures<br />
of more than 30°C on 7 th<br />
June at 2 p.m. Up until the Sunday<br />
after Pentecost (15 th June),<br />
the rides made their rounds on the fairground near<br />
the town centre.<br />
Up until some years ago, the “Masche” was one of<br />
the largest Pentecost Volksfest events in Saxony-<br />
Anhalt. This gradually changed from the mid-1990s,<br />
after the city festival in Magdeburg developed into the<br />
longest party mile in the federal state. Previously, the<br />
Magdeburg residents used to come to the Pfingstmasche<br />
en masse, but nowadays the locals rush to<br />
the easily reachable city festival in the state capital<br />
about 30 kilometres away. In addition to the regular<br />
participants represented at the Pfingstmasche every<br />
year, the Altmärkische Schaustellerverein always tries<br />
hard to engage new attractions for Halberstadt. This<br />
is no longer easy however, as participating in the<br />
Magdeburg city festival is more lucrative for the showmen.<br />
At the opening of the event Werner Jacob Jnr.,<br />
the chairman of the showman association, was able<br />
to welcome only a couple of visitors with a short<br />
speech. Afterwards, Mayor Norbert Eichler tapped<br />
the keg of beer, which was then dispensed to the<br />
visitors free of charge, by courtesy of the Showman<br />
Association, and after a loud three-cannon salute<br />
from the Schützengilde 1485 Haldensleben, the rides<br />
started to make their rounds. During the traditional<br />
stroll across the fairground, the guests of honour from<br />
the district, the city authorities and the Schützengilde<br />
tried out several ride attractions. Rides presented this<br />
time were the “Magic” (Herrmann), a chain ride<br />
(Sertic), “Schunkler” (Kazimierski), “Musik Palast”<br />
(Jacob), a ghost ride (Hünniger) and Meyer’s<br />
dodgem track. The younger<br />
visitors were able to enjoy a<br />
kiddie railway attraction (Eckermann),<br />
a kiddie carousel<br />
(Gabriel), a kiddie track ride<br />
(Pönitz) and a bungee-trampoline.<br />
These were joined by a<br />
shooting gallery, a hook-a-duck,<br />
a ball and dart throwing booth,<br />
and a number of snack, sweets<br />
and beverage operations providing<br />
the visitors with food and drinks. Wednesday<br />
was the designated family day with reduced prices at<br />
all attractions, and on the Thursday from 10 a.m. until<br />
midday, disabled people invited by the showmen<br />
were offered free entertainment on the fairground. On<br />
the Friday, the showmen held a lamp procession once<br />
again. This proceeded from the market square to the<br />
fairground, setting off at 8.30 p.m., and every child<br />
participating in the procession was able to enjoy a<br />
free ride on a ride of his or her choice, before the<br />
magnificent fireworks display was held after sundown.<br />
Let's talk about business: Due to midsummer<br />
weather with temperatures of more than 30°C and the<br />
Magdeburg city festival, business was quite modest<br />
at the beginning of the event. With the heat lasting<br />
almost throughout the entire event, the fairground<br />
stood almost empty in the afternoons. As visitor<br />
attendance was quite low due to the hot temperatures,<br />
financial results did not live up to the showmen’s<br />
expectations.<br />

The Sterkrade Corpus Christi Day Fair, the first of<br />
the three major summer fairs in North-Rhine Westphalia,<br />
was held from 18 th to 23 rd June.<br />
Shortly before the beginning of the event there were<br />
some unplanned changes that required fairground<br />
director, Sina Illmann, to relocate a number of ride<br />
attractions. Instead of the originally chosen “Bellevue”<br />
Ferris Wheel, the “Sky Lounge Wheel” made its rounds<br />

A LOOK BACK<br />
"Mega King Tower" at<br />
Oberhausen-Sterkrade<br />
on the site next to the Technisches Rathaus; the very site<br />
where it had been presented as the “Expo” Ferris Wheel<br />
four years ago. Moreover, the “Mega King Tower” was<br />
allocated a new site as it arrived in Sterkrade earlier than<br />
expected. As a result, the Freefall Tower soared into the<br />
sky visible from any distance on the Hirschhügel, the<br />
highest point of the fairground. In addition, Wegener’s<br />
“Beach Jumper” was slightly moved and almost cut off<br />
from the circuit. Due to being exquisitely operated, this<br />
ride ranked among the real “winners” of the event.<br />
Finally, the “Turbo Force” was placed on the Zilianplatz,<br />
and the “Transformer” occupied the site at the railway<br />
station originally allocated to the Freefall Tower. In the<br />
end, all relocations turned out to be more than successful.<br />
The “Mega King Tower” seemed to be even taller on<br />
the Hirschhügel, the collaboration between the propeller<br />
and the “Circus Circus” ride was highly effective, and the<br />
“Transformer” once again made a convincing impression<br />
on its site at the railway station – the area around<br />
which was noticeably enhanced by appealing concession<br />
stalls this year. Apart from these changes, the layout<br />
of the different areas was much as described in our<br />
preview. Results at the Corpus Christi Day Fair were<br />
positive, although not as outstanding as last year. ■<br />

The Bremerhaven Frühjahrsmarkt was held on<br />
Wilhelm-Kaisen-Platz from 16 th to 25 th May. Some<br />
70 showmen built up their operations on a newlydesigned<br />
fairground, as the area had virtually<br />
been reduced to half its original size due to a DIY<br />
store being constructed within the area.<br />
Organiser Jürgen Fuhrmann was able to present four<br />
novelties: The “XXL” Swing (Dennies-Kipp), “Euro<br />
Coaster” and “Jumper” (Rasch), and the “Happy<br />
Family” (Heine), along with the “Avenger” (Holzem),<br />
“Breakdance” (Dreher/Vespermann), “Night Style”<br />
(Armbrecht), “Petersburger Schlittenfahrt” (Burgdorf),<br />
Dodgem Track (Robrahn-Böker) and the<br />
Ferris Wheel from Cornelius. Moreover, the younger<br />
visitors were able to enjoy a number of kiddie rides.<br />
Numerous confectionery stalls, snack booths,<br />
games booths, beverage outlets and sales booths<br />
rounded off the selection of attractions. The Frühjahrsmarkt<br />
was opened on Friday evening and an<br />
opening firework display was held after dark.<br />
Wednesday was the designated Family Day, and<br />
there was another firework display on the second<br />
Friday before the Frühjahrsmarkt closed on the<br />
Sunday evening.<br />

BAYREUTH<br />
A LOOK BACK<br />
Text & Photos: Helmut Bresler<br />
No top attractions, worries<br />
about the future<br />
organiser, and a dissatisfied<br />
beer tent<br />
patron; these were the<br />
headlines reporting on<br />
the Pentecost event in<br />
Upper Franconia.<br />
Andreas Zinnecker’s<br />
“Mega King Tower”,<br />
heralded as the highlight<br />
in advertising, was conspicuous by its absence.<br />
According to the owner, the short-term cancellation<br />
was due to technical problems, but the tourism<br />
Director Jan Kempgens did not want to speculate<br />
about the real reasons. After all, he was concerned<br />
about finding a replacement, and hit it lucky with<br />
Alexander and Angelique Zinnecker and their<br />
novelty attraction “Freak”. Behind the scenes there<br />
is a hot political infighting about the future of the<br />
Volksfest, or rather about the future organiser. For<br />
some years now, the “Bayreuther Marketing &<br />
Tourismus GmbH” has mastered this task with ease.<br />
Now it has turned out that contracting an organiser<br />
without a European-wide tender procedure<br />
probably infringed the national competition law;<br />
therefore there will be a new call for bids. Naturally,<br />
the showmen would like to continue to work together<br />
with the tried and tested partner, as they are worried<br />
about private organisers who only want to make<br />
money on the Volksfest. A decision will not be taken<br />
before late October or early November.<br />
Jan Kempgens: “We are now beginning with the<br />
tender and planning of the spring festival and the<br />
Volksfest. By the end of this year everything will have<br />
been fixed for the season 2015!” He is undoubtedly<br />
right. Built up along the large circuit course were,<br />
among other attractions, “The King” (Zinnecker),<br />
“Fahrt zur Hölle” (Dom-Jollberg),<br />
“<strong>Park</strong>our” (Aigner), “Rotor” (Pluschies),<br />
“Flipper” (Meeß), “Rio<br />
Rapidos” (Kaiser), “Happy Family”<br />
(Heine), the “Twister” coaster<br />
(Kaiser), “Breakdance” (Diebold)<br />
and the “Nürnberger Wellenflug”<br />
(Distel). Unfortunately, a Ferris<br />
Wheel – shown on the poster – was<br />
missing once again. Diebold’s<br />
dodgem track changed its traditional<br />
site and provided the fairground<br />
with a new image. Just as at the<br />
Erlangen Berg and the Amberg<br />
Dult, the extremely hot Whitsun<br />
Weather permitting and the festival streets<br />
in Bayreuth were well frequented<br />
weekend resulted in low visitor attendance and<br />
affected the end results. During the 12 years that<br />
Jan Kempgens has been responsible for the<br />
Bayreuther Volksfest, he has seen five beer tent<br />
patrons; Uwe Hölzgen, Gerhard Widmann,<br />
Hermann Murr, Bastian Schuhmann and, now for the<br />
second time, Jochen Mörz. Therefore it is understandable<br />
that he hopes for continuity and<br />
earnestly desires that there are no further changes<br />
in the future. In principle, the cooperation with the<br />
present beer tent patron works well, even though<br />
there is a need for negotiations at the moment. Mörz<br />
is critical of the high number of beer and snack<br />
booths all around his beer tent and calls for a<br />
substantial reduction. For Kempgens, a classic beer<br />
tent is an indispensable must! For the first time in<br />
many years, the Miss Bayreuth contest – the 'mega<br />
event' during the Volksfest – was fiercely criticised<br />
for its poor attendance and unbearable attendant<br />
noise. This is a pity, as the candidates would have<br />
deserved a truly professional event – another<br />
matter requiring urgent action.<br />

HALVER<br />
Text: Michael Petersen<br />
The 370 th Halver Fair, celebrated<br />
from 20 th to 23 rd<br />
June, was prominently<br />
occupied.<br />
On the occasion of the anniversary,<br />
the organiser had<br />
slightly increased the number<br />
of participants and contracted<br />
two spectacular ride<br />
attractions. The section at the<br />
former railway station made a<br />
convincing impression this<br />
year due to the effective<br />
placement of the two towering<br />
ride attractions, “Star<br />
Flyer” and “Artistico”. Also<br />
built up in this section were<br />
“Die verrückte Farm”, a<br />
dodgem track and the<br />
“Crazy Mouse”. In front of the<br />
Sparkasse building, the<br />
“Liberty Wheel” Ferris Wheel<br />
and the Musik Express made<br />
their rounds. The street<br />
section was livened up by the<br />
“Disco Dance” Miami, and on<br />
the Jugendheimplatz “Break<br />
Dance No.2” and “Aqua<br />
King”, which replaced the<br />
“Jekyll & Hyde” propeller, but<br />
did not fare too well next to<br />
the large Breakdance. Particularly<br />
noticeable was the<br />
very good selection of concession<br />
stalls. In the end, the<br />
anniversary fair was very well<br />
attended, but it did not really<br />
stand a chance against the<br />
WM football frenzy. As a<br />
result, it was not really surprising<br />
that business on the<br />
Saturday evening proved a<br />
big flop. Next year, the Halver<br />
Fair will be smaller due to<br />
construction work in the area<br />
at the station, but now alternative<br />
sites are becoming<br />
available.<br />

Many attractions at the<br />
Common Easter Fair 2014<br />
in Southampton<br />
Text & Photos: Marcus Gaines<br />
What a difference a year makes, gone was the<br />
snow and arctic cold weather of 2013, replaced by<br />
weekends of glorious sunshine and April showers<br />
during the week. The sunshine over the Bank Holiday<br />
weekend helped to attract the crowds making<br />
for a busy weekend for showmen.<br />
The fair is located in the middle of Southampton’s<br />
largest open park land, so families took advantage of<br />
the sunshine with picnics and football games, and<br />
then ventured to the fair for a few rides.<br />
However it wasn’t all good news. The lateness of<br />
Easter meant that straight after the Easter weekend<br />
the school holidays finished and there were few children<br />
to visit the fair during the weekdays. Add in some<br />
heavy rain and even the evenings were quiet. Luckily<br />
the sun returned for the second weekend of the fair<br />
38
and the rides were busy once again. As the largest<br />
fair on the South Coaster of England, the ride line up<br />
was of the usual high calibre. Making its first appearance<br />
at the fair was Graham Sedgwick with his “Rock<br />
Rage” KMG Inversion. Unfortunately being tucked<br />
behind a burger stand meant that walking through the<br />
fair in one direction was a little obscured, except of<br />
course when running. For the 2 nd week of the event<br />
Graham Sedgwick debuted a 2 nd ride, the “Superspin”<br />
KMG Experience, which had been open elsewhere<br />
for the Easter Weekend.<br />
As is now common the fair had a couple of<br />
duplications, with Marissa Wall’s (previously John<br />
Wall) dodgems and William Cole’s dodgems present,<br />
and Keeley Wall’s "Super Star" and Leigh Danter’s<br />
"Super Star" also in attendance. But all were riding<br />
well despite the immediate competition.<br />
Star attractions at the fair also included Edward<br />
Danter’s “Oxygen” KMG Booster, John Searle Jnr.'s<br />
“Jumpin Jaks”, Perrin Stevens "Jump n Smile", Craig<br />
Danter’s ARM “Superbowl” and George Brewer Jnr.'s<br />
“Midnight Express” Sobema Matterhorn. Unfortunately<br />
Midnight Express was strangely closed<br />
for much of the busy Easter weekend.<br />
Creating an olden time area of the fair was Ricky<br />
Smith Jnr.’s “Big Wheel” Ferris Wheel and Tommy<br />
Chipperfield's "Helter Skelter". A<br />
traditional cork gun side stall<br />
helped finish off the vintage feel to<br />
the section. With its dated facade<br />
Charles Lock’s “Energy Rush”<br />
Rotor didn’t look out of place<br />
positioned here either.<br />
The juvenile section of the fair<br />
continues to grow, with even more<br />
rides catering for the younger<br />
visitors. There was just about<br />
every genre of kiddie attraction in<br />
attendance from the traditional<br />
train ride and toy sets, to mini<br />
paratroopers and inflatables.<br />
Charles Ive Jnr.'s “Runaway Train”<br />
Roller Coaster was once again<br />
popular with the more daring<br />
youngsters. With so many families<br />
with young kids enjoying the<br />
spring sunshine these rides were<br />
undoubtedly the busiest of all the<br />
attractions on offer. With such a<br />
diverse range of rides for all ages,<br />
what a fair of this size is really<br />
missing is a large roller coaster.<br />
It’s been 6 years since James<br />
Mellors last attended with his<br />
“Magic Mouse” Spinning Coaster<br />
in 2008. But then the UK has less<br />
than 10 adult roller coasters on the<br />
travelling circuit.<br />

FOIRE DU TRÔNE IN PARIS (F)<br />

For almost two months (from 29 th March to 25 th May), the<br />
traditional “Foire du Trone” Volksfest was celebrated in the<br />
French capital city of Paris.<br />
This year, the two major novelties among the showman<br />
attractions making a guest appearance were from Germany; the<br />
large “Daemonium” ghost ride and the mega drop tower “Sky<br />
Fall” both went to Paris for the first time. The Huss Freefall Tower<br />
“Countdown” took a break in favour of the “Sky Fall” this year,<br />
and its passengers enjoyed both the magnificent view across<br />
the roofs of Paris from the very top, and the “freefall” experience<br />
from a height of about 80 metres. The “Daemonium” was also<br />
very well received by the public, despite the French being<br />
already quite spoilt by the “Train Fantome”. The fare prices at the<br />
two Ferris Wheels presented on the fairground were a muchdiscussed<br />
topic this time. While a round on the modern “Roue<br />
de Paris” with its closed gondolas cost €5, the other Ferris Wheel<br />
– an older example with lattice masts and open gondolas – tried<br />
to put one over on its competitor by offering a “cut-throat price”<br />
of €2 per person.<br />

NOSTALGIA<br />
NOSTALGIC EXHIBITION IN NÜRNBERG<br />
The largest and most diverse<br />
nostalgic exhibition Germany<br />
has ever seen – apart from the<br />
“Oide Wiesn” in Munich – was<br />
presented as a special attraction<br />
at the Nürnberg Frühlingsfest.<br />
After an experiment in the<br />
autumn of 2011, some ideas were<br />
taken on and integrated into a<br />
completely new concept, and<br />
visitors rushed to the exhibition<br />
under the patronage of The Nürnberg<br />
Lord Mayor and President<br />
of the German "Städtetag", or<br />
Congress of Municipalities,<br />
Ulrich Maly who was the patron<br />
of the exhibition.<br />

Some impressions of<br />
the nostalgic section at the<br />
Nürnberg Frühlings Volksfest<br />
Last year’s 125 th anniversary of the South German<br />
Showman Association provided the theme for the<br />
exhibition. On a corner of the fairground course<br />
visitors could find the historic Caterpillar Ride (Buchholz),<br />
the Toboggan (Fischer), the flea circus from Birk<br />
(the previous owner, Hans Mathes from Nürnberg-<br />
Schweinau appeared in his home town in 1977 for the<br />
last time), and the swing from Eschenbacher.<br />
Therefore, the public almost automatically moved into<br />
the historic section with the usual separation between<br />
present Volksfest culture and the nostalgic section<br />
seamlessly blending; a concept both elegant and<br />
ingenious! In addition to the displayed tractors,<br />
several large organs (Roie/Frankfurt, Diebold/<br />
Augsburg, Kunstmann/Erlangen, Braun/Nürnberg,<br />
Schneider/Munich, Heitmann/Münster, Kinzler/<br />
42
Stuttgart, Kalb/Nürnberg,<br />
as well as the example of<br />
the Verein Nürnberger<br />
Straßenbahnfreunde, or<br />
Association of Nürnberg<br />
Tram Friends) took turns in<br />
playing music. If one also<br />
counted the two organs<br />
from Eschenbacher, the<br />
Kündiger example, the<br />
Perz organ and the<br />
Hartmann-Wunderle organ,<br />
they added up to the<br />
imposing number of 14<br />
examples ready to be<br />
played. Where is there<br />
more to offer?<br />
The visitors rediscovered<br />
crossbow shooting, curiously<br />
watched the<br />
tractor rarities presented<br />
by Peter Nolde and Sebastian<br />
Bichler, thoroughly<br />
admired the showman<br />
caravan from Lotte and<br />
Heinrich Feldl, built in<br />
1920, which accompanied<br />
the showman couple<br />
on their tours throughout<br />
Europe for almost 75<br />
years and was provided<br />
by Peter Münch. The large<br />
circus tent presented a<br />
colourful cornucopia from<br />
the showman world<br />
ranging from the past to the present day. The large<br />
books of memorabilia were a real crowd puller once<br />
again. Short written explanations at the exhibits<br />
provided the visitors with important information. A high<br />
number of members from the Showman Association<br />
dedicated themselves to the exhibition with Denny<br />
Morawski and Georg Schweizer being the tireless<br />
driving force. The Historische Gesellschaft Deutscher<br />
Schausteller e.V. as well as the Berlin showman and<br />
collector Rolf Hartmann also earned much praise for<br />
his support. An elegant and visually perfect solution<br />
was the tent entrance with the historic Walkthrough<br />
construction “Das Land des Lächelns” built up in front<br />
of it providing the motto for the exhibition. The<br />
exhibition was supplemented by the very well<br />
attended four-day model fair exhibition in a separate<br />
tent, the first-time presentation of traditional hot-air<br />
balloons accompanied by appropriate music, and the<br />
tractor meeting for the finale. The event was well worth<br />
seeing and an experience nobody should have<br />
missed. Currently, there are no plans to repeat this<br />
oganizational feat.<br />

NOSTALGIA<br />
The “Hurrican” with the<br />
serial number H110 from the<br />
Jacobi firm in Leipzig, 2014<br />
After almost 50 years, this author<br />
once again encountered a ride<br />
type he had been fascinated by in<br />
his childhood days at this year’s<br />
Spring Kleinmesse event in<br />
Leipzig. Way back then, his<br />
grandfather had repeatedly<br />
treated him to rides on the<br />
“Hurrican”, and watched his<br />
grandson enjoying himself as<br />
the boy raced through the sky in<br />
the rocket-shaped gondolas at a<br />
height of up to 8 metres. It was a<br />
compressed air ride from the<br />
“Hurricane X” series built by<br />
Klaus from Memmingen.<br />
Hurrican<br />
However, in Leipzig it was not the “Hurrican” with<br />
the serial number H73D, purchased from the<br />
Bremen Renoldi firm and operated mainly in<br />
southern Lower Saxony from 1963 to 1967 by<br />
Richard Franke from Braunschweig from the 1960s,<br />
but the Hurricane H110 built for the Fähtz firm in<br />
1963 and finally taken over by the Dessau Wieser<br />
firm after several changes of ownership. Wolfgang<br />
Wieser operated the compressed air ride from 1995<br />
to 2013. Since then, the ride was passed on within<br />
the family to Bettina and Nico Jacobi, who now<br />
lovingly care for the “Hurrican”. In addition to the<br />
compressed air ride, now presented at the Leipzig<br />
Kleinmesse, they also tour the “Pirates Caribbean”<br />
Miami and several concession stalls, mainly<br />
throughout Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony.<br />

With details such as the boarding lattice in front of the seat benches<br />
in the gondolas, the perfect sitting comfort inside the rocket, the<br />
hissing of compressed air during the fast – indeed decidedly racy –<br />
ride, and the fantastic ride experience in which the passenger<br />
controls the upwards and downward movement of the rocket, the<br />
attraction took older visitors back to their childhood days allowing<br />
them to re-experience these bygone days; a delightful “flashback”, so<br />
to speak, to the 1960s.<br />

up and down three hills and valleys, equipped with<br />
massive, richly carved wooden gondolas, from<br />
showman Mario Caspari after the Christmas<br />
Market in Gotha in 2012. Having purchased and<br />
taken over the ride Willy Fellerhoff began to<br />
thoroughly restore the ride, as it was in quite a wornout<br />
condition, and he felt that it should be presented<br />
in its original condition if at all possible. Before the<br />
gondolas were restored, the arms and supports<br />
were upgraded; that is to say, they were newly<br />
painted and equipped with new seat upholstery.<br />
year. The rounding board is also still being restored<br />
and all the decorative pictures are currently being<br />
overhauled and renewed. The platforms below the<br />
floor segments have been covered with motif foil<br />
and will be repainted over time. The paybox is some<br />
40 years old and comes from the “Das sündige<br />
Dorf” Funhouse that the Fellerhoff family used to<br />
tour. “As restoring the switchback takes a lot of time<br />
and is quite expensive, it can be carried out only by<br />
degrees, but the ride has already been successfully<br />
approved by the TÜV.<br />

“Blue Hawaii”<br />
About a year ago, Reinhold<br />
Pistorius from Saarbrücken/<br />
Völklingen took over a Twister<br />
built by the Fähtz firm in 1983.<br />
Previously, the ride equipped<br />
with “Hollywood Star” gondolas<br />
had been operated by a French<br />
showman for many years, and<br />
then sold to the “Walygator”<br />

President Albert Ritter<br />
Volksfests in Flanders Recognised as an Intangible Cultural Heritage<br />
Huge Success for Belgian Showman Industry<br />
Flemish Minister for Culture Visits Joke Schauvliege Visits ”Sinksenfoor“ in Antwerp<br />
Volksfests in Flanders have been accepted as<br />
an intangible cultural heritage. This was announced<br />
by the Flemish Minister for Culture on<br />
the 23rd of June during a visit to the ”Sinksenfoor“<br />
in Antwerp. ESU-President Albert Ritter<br />
congratulated Belgian showman colleagues on<br />
this huge success.<br />
”Fairgrounds are culture“ The Flemish Cultural Minister Joke<br />
Schauvliege at the ”Sinksenfoor“. Left: ESU-Vice President Franck Delforge.<br />
Right: General Secretary Steve Severeyns.<br />
The recognition of the Volksfests by the Flemish<br />
Government is one of the prerequisites for the application<br />
for acceptance on the UNESCO intangible<br />
cultural listing.<br />
In her speech Cultural Minister Schauvliege firstly<br />
congratulated the Belgian showmen, for their convincing<br />
concept for an important contribution for<br />
the recognition of the Volksfests. A big fairground<br />
fan since childhood, the Minister spoke of her<br />
”warmest memories“ of the fairgrounds: the boisterous<br />
atmosphere, the attractions and the gloss<br />
of every visit to the grounds. The fairground was a<br />
meeting place for many. Comfort and fun go hand<br />
in hand during a visit to the fairgrounds, since the<br />
middle ages. And even though much has changed<br />
since then, the atmosphere on the fairs has<br />
remained the same: ambience, togetherness and<br />
relaxation.<br />
With a wink Joke Schauvliege also told of the romantic<br />
meaning of the fairgrounds – after all just<br />
how many love stories have been written there<br />
and how many pairs had first met at a fairground.<br />
As finale and with a lot of applause for her well<br />
thought out speech, the Cultural Minister Schauvliege<br />
reminded everyone of the work involved in<br />
the future for the acceptance of Volksfests on the<br />
national list of cultural heritage, as it must be preserved<br />
. The history of the 2,500 Volksfests in Belgian<br />
must be continuously written.<br />
Tradition must be maintained, and<br />
handed onto the next generations.<br />
Joke Schauvliege assured showmen<br />
of her support. President Albert<br />
Ritter called the decision of the<br />
Flemish government ”an important<br />
signal for neighbouring<br />
European countries to protect their<br />
Volksfests as a cultural heritage in<br />
the long run.“ The Volksfests and<br />
Christmas markets in Europe are<br />
not unique only because of long<br />
tradition. Volksfests have had a<br />
considerable influence on the development<br />
of society, socialisation<br />
and tourism for many centuries in<br />
Europe. ”And we showmen are the<br />
supporting pillars of the events“, emphasised the<br />
ESU-President.<br />
General Secretary Steve Severeyns (right) and<br />
Flemish Cultural Minister Joke Schauvliege.<br />
The ”Sinksenfoor“ is one of the oldest Volksfests<br />
in Europe.<br />

Within the fames of the regulatory powers of<br />
UNESCO there is in addition to the world culture<br />
heritage to which for example Amsterdam's<br />
famous ring of canals, the medieval city of Bruges,<br />
and the Cologne Dom also belong, other<br />
possibilities to protect immaterial cultural heritage<br />
through UNESCO. According to UNESCO<br />
it's not only outstanding constructions and natural<br />
sites that are worth protecting for future<br />
generations. Cultural diversity is also reflected in<br />
living forms of expression such as Volksfests,<br />
customs, dance and theatre, music, languages<br />
and craftsman techniques. In 2003 the UNESCO-<br />
General Conference finalised the preservation<br />
of intangible cultural heritage. After being ratified<br />
by 30 countries, it became effective on the<br />
20th April 2006.<br />

CRAZY TRIP<br />
On 5 th April Joe Probst from<br />
Güterfelde near Potsdam introduced<br />
his newly purchased<br />
attraction, the used two-level<br />
Walkthrough construction<br />
“Crazy Trip”, at the Frühjahrs-<br />
Jahrmarkt in Halle/Saale. Probst<br />
is just 22 years old and founded<br />
his own showman enterprise<br />
with a Continental pick stand and<br />
a pick up trolley three years ago.<br />
Last November, he took over the<br />
Walkthrough construction that<br />
had been kept in storage for<br />
quite some time, from Ilona and<br />
Jürgen Parniske from Leipzig.<br />

Proud new owner of the<br />
“Crazy Trip”: Joe Probst<br />
Even though the attraction was in perfectly preserved<br />
visual, technical and ready-foroperation<br />
condition (despite rumours to the<br />
contrary), it was nonetheless redesigned after the<br />
takeover. All the effects were removed and replaced<br />
by new ones. The new fun effects include,<br />
among others, a suspension bridge, a broom<br />
carousel and different floor effects; and all, just as<br />
is the case with the new outdoor course, with<br />
various obstacles, were built by Joe Probst himself.<br />
Currently, a short labyrinth is being built into the<br />
attraction. Having negotiated the last obstacle on<br />
the upper level, visitors reach the exit via a spiral<br />
slide or staircases.<br />
The Funhouse was built as “Geisterhölle” by the<br />
showman Lutz Hofmann and his<br />
father-in-law, Günter Topf, from<br />
Mansfeld in the southern Harz<br />
Uplands, as well as two ride manufacturers<br />
in 1987/88. Günter Topf<br />
was a technically-skilled showman,<br />
who together with several experienced<br />
craft enterprises built the<br />
“Holliday Star” Waltzer ride in the<br />
early 1950s and the two-level “Lachhaus”<br />
in 1987, according to his<br />
ideas and drafts. After minor<br />
revisions, the construction of the<br />
Lachhaus was taken over for<br />
building the “Geisterhölle”. The<br />
upper level is lifted by four hydraulic<br />
cylinders; the lower level has two<br />
bays. The undercarriage and the<br />

skeleton structure with the<br />
hydraulic system were built<br />
by the Leipzig Paselt firm also<br />
way back then. Next the<br />
skeleton structure was<br />
sheeted by the Brausemann<br />
firm. While all the other work<br />
was carried out by Lutz<br />
Hofmann and Günter Topf,<br />
the showman artist Andrea<br />
Patzer was engaged for the<br />
imaginative artwork, successfully<br />
passing her first<br />
major practical test. In the<br />
winter of 1991/92 the attraction<br />
was redesigned as the<br />
“Crazy Trip”. The entire front<br />
was newly painted, a spiral<br />
tube was installed from the<br />
upper level, and a speaking,<br />
water-spitting tree was put up<br />
in front of the attraction. One<br />
year later, Lutz Hofmann sold<br />
the “Crazy Trip” to Ilona and<br />
Details of the new outside course<br />
and the spiral slide<br />
Jürgen Parniske from<br />
Leipzig, who first installed<br />
new effects and had the<br />
front newly painted. In the<br />
winter of 2001/2002 the<br />
“Crazy Trip” was redesigned<br />
once again and<br />
was equipped with a 20 x<br />
3 metre extension to the<br />
front with four water basins<br />
and illuminated fountains.<br />
Due to the showman enterprise switching to smaller<br />
attractions, the “Crazy Trip” was shut down and put<br />
into storage two years ago. After another owner<br />
changeover last year, the attraction was presented<br />
in tip-top condition and well received by the public<br />
at the Frühjahrs-Jahrmarkt in Halle/Saale. This<br />
season, Joe Probst will also present the “Crazy Trip”<br />
at Volksfest and city festival events in Brandenburg,<br />
Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The construction,<br />
requiring two transports (1 centre trailer and 1 small<br />
baggage van) for relocating, has ground measurements<br />
of 18 x 7 metres, is 9.50 metres high, and has<br />
electrical requirements of 25 kW.<br />
■<br />
The attraction changing<br />
over the years: 1988 – in its<br />
original condition as “Geisterhölle”,<br />
1992 – as “Crazy Trip”<br />
after its first redesign, and in<br />
1998 – having been newly<br />
painted once again<br />

MODEL CONSTRUCTON<br />
A view of the Lego<br />
fairground from Artur Fritscher<br />
Many things can be built from the<br />
colourful LEGO plastic bricks,<br />
panels, gearwheels and sundry<br />
small parts – even powered<br />
models with different rotating<br />
movements and functions. At<br />
present there are some 78,000<br />
different components in 96<br />
colours, and they can all be combined<br />
and put together in any<br />
way one likes. Twenty-three year<br />
old mechanical engineering<br />
student, Artur Fritscher from<br />
Cologne, has been busying himself<br />
with this construction kit<br />
system for 17 years; in recent<br />
years specialising in building<br />
fully functional fairground<br />
models.<br />

Lego Fairground<br />
day he took his first ride on a “Breakdance”.<br />
Ever since that very day, he has<br />
been obsessed by the idea of building a<br />
perfect model of this ride from LEGO<br />
bricks. During the last 6 years, he has<br />
His passion for the popular toy brand was succeeded in building an impressive, fully functional<br />
aroused in 1997, when he was given his first Breakdance model - and without a specific example<br />
construction kit for his 6 th birthday. Visiting a model to model it on. The ride was designed according to<br />
construction fair one year later, he saw fairground his own ideas; only the backflash was modelled<br />
models assembled from the colourful bricks for the after the example of the Piontek firm, the design of<br />
first time, and deeply enthralled by them, he began which he likes very much.<br />
to build a ride from LEGO bricks that very day. Some At the same time Artur Fritscher built a 1.20 m Ferris<br />
years later he built an “Airwolf”, “Take Off”, “Flying Wheel on three centre trailers, a “Cadillac” dodgem<br />
Circus”, “Frisbee”, some dodgem tracks and Miami track, a Jet Ride, a kiddie carousel, the “Glückshaus”<br />
constructions, as well as a “Top Scan”, closely resembling<br />
the original rides. Artur Fritscher also built hook-a-duck, the “Spiel Shop” arcade machine, the<br />
continental pick stand, the Dutch “Lucky Duck”<br />
vehicles and many other models right up until the Chinese snack booth “Mandarin”, a beverage outlet,<br />

Ready to go: The<br />
“Breakdance” centre trailer<br />
a crêpe stall, an ice cream stall, a pick up trolley,<br />
including a matching vehicle fleet for each of these<br />
models! It took him between half a year and 2 years<br />
to build each model.<br />
In addition to further fairground models, Fritscher is<br />
currently building a major ride, which is to be<br />
finished this year. Prior to building the rides and concession<br />
stalls, the model builder takes many photos<br />
and obtains the relevant measurements and drafts.<br />
Due to the shape and size of the LEGO bricks he has<br />
to make compromises every now and then, and<br />
occasionally he even has to process individual<br />
bricks to achieve a perfect finish. Apart from<br />
adhesive decoration elements and gearwheels<br />
which have to be selectively fixed, the rides and concession<br />
stalls can be dismantled. All the rides are<br />
powered by standard LEGO motors, and technical<br />
elements were used for the gears. A number of<br />
LEGO railway transformer stations supply the<br />
models with a 9 volt direct current. Initially the model<br />
builder purchased construction sets and a<br />
complete collection, from which he could not<br />
assemble all the components though. However, as<br />
this kind of material procurement was too expensive<br />
in the long run, he has for some time been purchasing<br />
suitable components in special internet shops,<br />
where he can search for particular colours<br />
according to his specific needs. The turquoise bricks<br />
for the Breakdance vehicle models cost the model<br />
builder a veritable fortune, as the bricks - no longer<br />
produced for some time now - are coveted rarities.<br />
Three years ago, Artur Fritscher displayed his fairground<br />
models at the “Circus & <strong>Kirmes</strong>modellbau”<br />
exhibition in Oer-Erkenschwick for the first time,<br />
which immediately proved a big success. In 2012 he<br />
designed a 7 m 2 miniature fairground with a total of<br />
1,500 LEGO figures, so-called “minifigs”, which he<br />
has presented at a number of model construction<br />
and LEGO exhibitions in Germany and France ever<br />
since. This year the construction will be presented<br />
at, among other venues, the “Inspiration Modellbau”<br />
in Mainz from 19 th to 21 st September and at the<br />
Modellbautage in Aschersleben from 22 nd to 23 rd<br />
November. Artur Fritscher also occasionally decorates<br />
shop windows with his models, and will this year<br />
display a Christmas diorama made of LEGO bricks<br />
in the Römerapotheke in Arloff, a district of Bad<br />
Münstereifel in North-Rhine Westphalia, and would<br />
like to present his fairground models also at other<br />
model construction exhibitions and trade shows, as<br />
well as undertaking more shop window commissions.<br />

Extra Gigante" can't be ridden in real life, because<br />
it describes the vehicle in Norway's most<br />
successful film "The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix" from Ivo<br />
Caprino.<br />
The vehicle was designed by Kjell Austen, one of<br />
the most well known illustrator and cartoonist in<br />
Norway. Although there is a replica fit to drive, it has<br />
to be satisfied with only 550 Horse Power – due to<br />
the intervention of Formula One racing legend Niki<br />
Lauda.<br />
Already three years ago there were first plans for<br />
erecting a large coaster for this year's anniversary;<br />
however definite plans only came into being a year<br />
ago.<br />
The first vegetation clearance began in the summer<br />
of 2013, in order to complete a large part of the work<br />
as soon as possible, due to the difficulties of working<br />
outdoors in winter with temperatures of up to<br />
minus 30°.<br />
Thus it's even nicer for visitors to the Hunderfossen<br />
Familiepark to be able at long last to take a ride in<br />
the famous “Il Tempo Extra Gigante” cars. The new<br />
coaster attraction is already visible from the adjacent<br />
dual carriageway E6, although due to its dark<br />
green supports it blends into the surrounding<br />
forest and only the glaring red tracks can be recognised.<br />
The real optical highlight however is the<br />
currently worldwide most elaborately designed<br />
coaster train.<br />
66
In order to remain as close as possible proportionally<br />
to the original design from Kjell Austen and to<br />
be able to realize the colossal sized bonnet and<br />
mudguards, a complete row of seats were waived<br />
in the front car – so 14 instead of the regular 16 passengers<br />
speed through the richly curved course.<br />
The best place to be is – and where else should it<br />
be – the first row. It's only there that guests have a<br />
detailed cockpit together with plastic steering<br />
wheel, various knobs as well as a functioning gyroscope.<br />
The realized design comes from Heinrich<br />
Richter from Zierer. A special gimmick is also a<br />
functioning horn in the front car, which is very popular<br />
with many of the passengers – at least the beginning<br />
of the ride!<br />
But at the very latest after climbing the 25 metres<br />
high lift hill, which due to its hillside location affords<br />
a very wide view into the valley, most prefer the restraint<br />
rather than the horn, especially when going<br />
through the right angled first drop, at the foot of<br />
which the highest speed of 65 km/h is reached. This<br />
is followed immediately by a 540° ascent helix to<br />
the right, and after a short breathing time, the ride<br />
beings again with a strongly angled right curve,<br />
with passengers being pressed strongly into their<br />
seats by a 270° left curve travelling near to the<br />
ground. This is followed by a near-miss with the corner<br />
of the station building, where the train absolves<br />
a strongly banked curve only a few centimetres<br />
away from the building. The ride experience is<br />
rounded off by a small bump and Trimbrakes, a<br />
right hand curve, and the final brakes. This layout<br />
has already been realized in the German<br />
Schwabenpark; slight changes have been limited<br />
to being only at the end of the ride. In comparison<br />
to "Force One" at Schwabenpark, "Il Tempo Extra<br />
Gigante" has been designed for two-train operation.<br />
Actually however,<br />
only one train<br />
is in operation.<br />
Perhaps the best designed<br />
coaster train in the world –<br />
definitely unusual and<br />
elaborate<br />
67
Fitting to the new attraction:<br />
the merchandising articles<br />
The station area and<br />
the troll theming in the<br />
complete park area<br />
Nevertheless "Il Tempo Extra Gigante" is completely<br />
different to the "Force One" in Germany. Due to the<br />
hillside position the station is underground, whilst<br />
visitors use the roof of the station as a viewing platform<br />
simultaneously. And so viewers also get their<br />
money's worth as they can see the attraction very<br />
well from there. Additionally a lot of glass covering<br />
has been used in the waiting area, so that one can<br />
have close contact with the ride already, increasing<br />
anticipation immensely. The ride also appears to be<br />
loftier due to its hillside position but is not so present<br />
in the park due to the reserved colours as well<br />
as the hardly noticeable ride sounds. The still present<br />
vibrations at Schwabenpark are notably less<br />
here, and fit perfectly to the imaginative racing cars.<br />
Other super effects are the stroboscope lights in the<br />
station building, and the illuminated lamps on the<br />
vehicles that are equipped with LEDs that are lit up<br />
the whole day (charging up for the evenings).<br />
Sum up: With "Il Tempo Extra Gigante", the second<br />
largest individual investment in the park's history of<br />
around 3.8 million Euro, the Hunderfossen Family<br />
<strong>Park</strong> did everything just right. In addition to the very<br />
successful embedding in the park grounds on the<br />
slope, the best designed roller coaster train has<br />
also been realized. The ride itself is speedy but family<br />
friendly. And due to the required and relatively<br />
low minimum passenger size of 120 centimetres,<br />
the new coaster is ideal for almost the complete<br />
family.<br />
Interview with Hogne Høstmælingen<br />
Mr. Høstmælingen, first of all congratulations<br />
on your anniversary season. How long has<br />
the Hunderfossen Family <strong>Park</strong> existed, and how<br />
many visitors do you have annually?<br />
We are celebrating our 30-year anniversary<br />
this year, in other words we have been open since<br />
1984. Currently we have around 300,000 visitors a<br />
year. With that we are the second largest park in<br />
68
Norway, only Tusenfryd and Dyreparken have more<br />
guests, but there are definitely more people living<br />
in the direct catchment area there.<br />
What in your opinion is the difference between<br />
the family park Hunderfossen and other<br />
parks in Norway?<br />
The location of the park<br />
and with that the coaster, offer<br />
beautiful views<br />
Direct comparison is difficult as there are<br />
undoubtedly more tourists there as in the region<br />
around Lillehammer.<br />
That's true of course. On the other hand the<br />
Lillehammer region is very interesting as a tourist<br />
area for Norwegian residents both in the summer<br />
and winter, because of good skiing conditions on<br />
the Hafjell Mountain, and in the near surroundings<br />
the world's best white water rafting can be found.<br />
The region is visited annually by around two million<br />
guests, and so we are open in summer and winter,<br />
in particular in the peak season with our troll nights,<br />
during which time our employees dress up as trolls.<br />
During the winter our outdoor constructions are<br />
closed, compensated for by sledding trails and<br />
other actions at the park.<br />
We attempt to extend the portfolio for our<br />
target groups correspondingly, and we place great<br />
importance on the theming. Additionally we are in<br />
cooperation with companies such as Mercedes-<br />
Benz or Volvo, in order to be able to offer our<br />
younger guests a ride in true-to-original small versions<br />
of the Mercedes SLS AMG or Volvo trucks.<br />
And our larger rides such as the indoor Freefall<br />
"Trollfallet" from abc rides have been designed by<br />
Farmer Attractions. The theme Edutainment is also<br />
very important to us. In addition to a large sciencecentre,<br />
we also have stop-offs on our tractor-train<br />
where with animatronics and video screens the procedures<br />
on a farm are explained. Primarily though<br />
Hunderfossen has been thematically dedicated to<br />
trolls and Norwegian fairytales – and that makes it<br />
something really special.<br />

<strong>Park</strong> Manager Hogne<br />
Høstmælingen sitting in his<br />
favourite place in the front<br />
I found your Troll-Restaurant very impressive,<br />
offering a very nice atmosphere and<br />
good food. How important in your opinion is the<br />
theme gastronomy at parks?<br />
The "Trollsalen"-restaurant was awarded the<br />
title of best park restaurant in Norway last year. In<br />
my opinion gastronomy is very important in order to<br />
have satisfied visitors – which is a very important<br />
criterion for us. For this reason we have for example<br />
no ban on food brought in and consumed at the<br />
park. We even offer BBQ facilities where guests can<br />
grill their own food, and can also purchase baked<br />
goods from our own park bakery. On the other hand<br />
we offer in addition to the classic fast foods also<br />
high quality gastronomy, which is of the best quality/price<br />
ratio. We also tried to establish an additional<br />
offer of healthy foods at the park, but this<br />
was not particularly well received by the guests.<br />
By the way trolls: whilst a large part of the<br />
park is designed with Norwegian fairytales and<br />
trolls, your new main attraction has a completely<br />
different theme. How did this come about?<br />
Designing a coaster with a troll theme is not so<br />
easy. We wanted however to use a typical Norwegian<br />
theme, so we fell back onto the car design<br />
from Kjell Aukrust which had played a big role in the<br />
very well known Stop-Motion-Film in this country<br />
"Flåklypa Grand Prix", from Ivo Caprino. To this end<br />
we needed a company that could implement our<br />
design wishes. We had spoken to quite a number<br />
of manufacturers and finally found the correct partner<br />
in Zierer and Heinrich Richter, who could design<br />
the train according to the original drafts.<br />
Did you test other deliveries of the Zierer’s<br />
Elevated Seat Coasters in the run-up?<br />
We took a closer look at "Polar X-Press" at<br />
Legoland Billund, "ForceOne" at Schwabenpark<br />
and "Verbolten" at Busch Gardens Williamsburg,<br />
which together with the ride characteristics finally<br />
convinced us.<br />
Up until now you have only used one train<br />
operation on the "Il Tempo extra Gigante" but<br />
have all the systems for two-train operation.<br />
How has the visitor number changed since the<br />
opening of the attraction?<br />
In comparison to last year our visitor numbers<br />
have risen by a high two-digit percent figure and<br />
the peak season is yet to come – we are therefore<br />
very satisfied. The national media presence is also<br />
very high.<br />
Thank you very much for your answers. We<br />
wish you all the best for this season. ■<br />

INDOOR<br />
Attraction and nature<br />
united – that's the storyline,<br />
and that's the attraction<br />
Normally every theme park<br />
makes sure it offers as many attractions<br />
as possible that are<br />
independent of weather to its<br />
guests, so that even on rainy<br />
days enough carefree amusement<br />
is available to them. However<br />
there’s really never any<br />
bad weather in Germany’s sunniest<br />
region, and that’s the reason<br />
that the new indoor experience<br />
world will not be marketed<br />
as an indoor experience initially,<br />
but as a new and terrific experience<br />
attraction at Europa-<br />
<strong>Park</strong>. And “Arthur” is that without<br />
a doubt, and much more!<br />
Text & Photos: Frank Lanfer<br />
The new theme area is<br />
reached by a bridge<br />
Arthur<br />
Finally “Arthur” opened in July 2014 almost three<br />
months later than it originally was planned.<br />
Manager Michael Kreft von Byern explained with a<br />
twinkle in his eye: “We promised our park guests a<br />
new attraction for spring 2014, and in fact could<br />
open shortly before the calendrical summer<br />
beginning.” <strong>Park</strong> Manager Miro Gronau is also<br />
happy about this fact: “We’ve spent a number of<br />
years mulling over this perfect ride, and are simply<br />
just happy that it’s here now.”<br />
And the waiting was well worthwhile. Whilst other<br />
parks open new ride constructions earlier and the<br />
appropriate theming is only completed during the<br />
running year or even in the following season,<br />
Europa-<strong>Park</strong> definitely wanted to present a complete<br />
experience right from day one – which in the<br />
case of “Arthur” definitely makes a lot of sense<br />
because the theming belongs with the ride!<br />
The idea of ride and theming came from Junior<br />
Manager Michael Mack: “We wanted in particular<br />
to produce a special attraction for our large number<br />
of French guests.” And it’s thanks to him that<br />
the contact with film director Luc Besson came<br />
about, who not only produced the animation trilogy<br />
“Arthur” that is hardly known outside of France, but<br />
also the film sensation “The Fifth Element”. But even<br />
without any knowledge of films, the “Arthur”-ride is<br />
a special experience between a coaster ride and a<br />
theme ride.<br />
72
The four-minute ride begins with a film clip from the<br />
first Arthur film. Here also every non-French person<br />
will also understand that they are zooming into the<br />
world of small animals that live in the grass at<br />
ground level. The train travels uphill in a spiral form,<br />
with oversized bees and butterflies passing by. This<br />
is followed by the first meeting with the Minimoys,<br />
but suddenly a pit bull appears. The evasion<br />
manoeuvre leads directly into the mouth of a taxicaterpillar,<br />
and travels for the first time into the<br />
open. Following a 180° curve, the train disappears<br />
once again inside. On a second screen, a film clip<br />
from the second Arthur-film can be seen, before the<br />
coaster train flies with its passengers over the<br />
“Paradise Alley” scene. After surprising vibration<br />
effects, the cars glide through the circular hall. The<br />
ride then energetically goes into the second and<br />
longest outside sequence that even<br />
leads over the Ely rivulet – it’s the first<br />
time in the history of the park that<br />
available and appealing nature has been<br />
included in an attraction. The train nears<br />
a beehive and after a curve the station is<br />
reached again where passengers alight<br />
onto a synchronised, walking-pace moving<br />
walkway.<br />
However, there’s more to discover under<br />
the 16 metres high dome of “Arthur – Im<br />
Königreich der Minimoys”: the ten<br />
metres high “Poppy Tower” is hidden behind<br />
huge poppies, where all visitors<br />
look like small Minimoys. The tower that<br />
has a drop height of eight metres stems<br />
from Zierer and offers not only children a<br />
first class freefall feeling at Europa-<strong>Park</strong>.<br />
Another attraction is the “Mül Müls<br />
Karussell” from Zamperla with two-seat<br />
gondolas that are partly covered by<br />
plush fur. The portfolio is rounded off with two<br />
slides from atlantics, the small “Minos Spielecke”<br />
from eibe, a chill out room, and “Jack’s Deli Snack”.<br />
Aditionally, there are also 50 animatronics from<br />
Heimotion. Further companies involved in the<br />
theming were AAB, TAA, P&P, Neverland, Kraftwerk<br />
und Rockworks.<br />
From the park planning point of view, the “Arthur”<br />
area was to be an extension of the fairytale forest<br />
to bring it back to life, as although the section was<br />
elaborately renovated over the past years, it was<br />
not always well frequented. This has also been<br />
hugely successful as shown during the first<br />
opening days. The earlier and French-born park<br />
architect Frederik Pastuszak, who was Creative<br />
Director of the project confirmed: “The visitor flow<br />
showed a significant increase.”<br />

From a technical point of view “Arthur” is the world’s<br />
first Inverted Powered Coaster – in other words a<br />
coaster permanently powered by electricity and<br />
with non-freely swinging hanging gondolas. Each<br />
train has three 4-seat passenger carriers that are a<br />
little bit less than three metres wide, and also have<br />
an incredible more than three metres axis centredistance,<br />
offering unimagined freedom. Unique<br />
also worldwide is the control system of the Powered<br />
Coaster, which allows the trains to travel at<br />
various speeds on the open course or even to stop<br />
completely, for example to view a short film sequence.<br />
<strong>Special</strong>-effect seats known up until now<br />
only in 4D-cinemas have<br />
also been used for the first<br />
time on a coaster: they<br />
vibrate when passing certain<br />
scenes. Added also is the<br />
controlled horizontal rotation<br />
of the gondolas that (seemingly)<br />
rotate independently<br />
of each other, giving a varied<br />
ride dynamic together with the quite curved coaster<br />
tracks. Although the cars can be rotated individually<br />
by the press of a button shortly before the<br />
second open-air section so that passengers may<br />
experience a sideward and backward ride, the<br />
system most probably only becomes accessible for<br />
frequent riders due to the already permanent<br />
motion sequence.<br />
Not so decisive for a Powered Coaster is the height<br />
difference, however between the lowest and<br />
highest points of the track there is after all eight<br />
metres. And with a total height of 13 metres, the<br />
visual stimulus is definitely surprising, particularly<br />
74
when travelling through the dome and the pending<br />
two open-air sequences. The attraction has been<br />
given the green light by the TÜV for children from<br />
four years of age and with a minimum 100 centimetres<br />
height.<br />
“Arthur” is a surprising (indoor) ride, but much more<br />
than that. It is a kiddie ride but reaches more than<br />
just this target group. It is a French attraction, but<br />
can also be understood by other nationalities – to<br />
characterize “Arthur” is not so easy. Quite simply a<br />
résumé is not necessary: it is a surprisingly exciting<br />
and dynamic family-indoor-theme-coaster like<br />
no other. And it will without a doubt be taken note<br />
of by Disney and Universal, which with their megaexpensive<br />
“Harry Potter” and “Ratatouille” attractions<br />
didn’t produce a particularly exciting overall<br />
ride experience. Added to this, the Mack prototype<br />
is extendable to include every customer wish – for<br />
example open downhill sections could be integrated,<br />
in order to emphasise the coaster feeling more.<br />
Europa-<strong>Park</strong> however didn’t want a thrill ride, but a<br />
ride that is equally attractive to both children and<br />
young adults – a tightrope walk that appears to be<br />
very successful here, when watching the reaction<br />
of the riding guests. One can only offer<br />
congratulations!<br />
■<br />
The two other rides are the<br />
"Poppy Tower" from Zierer and<br />
the "Mül-Müls Karussell"<br />
from Zamperla<br />

Nestled in the picturesque and<br />
quintessentially <strong>English</strong> landscape<br />
of the South Downs lies a<br />
family owned zoo. Not far from<br />
the seaside towns of Brighton<br />
and Eastbourne, Drusillas <strong>Park</strong><br />
started life in 1925 as a tea garden<br />
attracting motorists on a<br />
pleasant drive through the<br />
countryside to a stop for a spot<br />
of afternoon tea.<br />

attraction and the operating<br />
family (f.l.t.r.): Cassandra,<br />
Caroline, Laurence, Oliver and<br />
Christine Smith<br />
Faced with growing competition, the owners<br />
Douglas and Drusilla Ann decided to add a<br />
small zoo. Among the early residents were a<br />
kangaroo, a chimpanzee and a ring-tailed lemur.<br />
The zoo helped to make the tea gardens a huge<br />
success, which attracted a great deal of attention<br />
– for example Entrepreneur Reginald Goddard<br />
visited the tea gardens to seek advice from<br />
Douglas Ann on how to set up a similar venture<br />
which then opened in 1931 as the Chessington<br />
Zoo. That venture exists today as Chessington<br />
World of Adventures, a well known theme park<br />
belonging to the Merlin Entertainments Group.<br />
After the Second World War the park entered its<br />
next stage of evolution with the addition of<br />
“Kiddies Corner” with pedal cars, climbing frames<br />
and the park's first ride, a Switchback.<br />
In the 1960's the park found itself struggling to<br />
compete with the rising popularity of drivethrough<br />
safaris such as Longleat and Windsor<br />
Safari <strong>Park</strong> (now Legoland Windsor). Under the<br />
guidance of Douglas Ann's son, Michael,<br />
Drusillas <strong>Park</strong> was promoted under the slogan “a<br />
child's first zoo”, a slogan which fits equally well<br />
today. The zoo was expanded with the introduction<br />
of flamingos, penguins, a rare breeds farm,<br />
76
PORTRAIT<br />
capuchin monkeys and tamarinds. The tea rooms<br />
were no longer the main focus; instead the zoo<br />
was the priority.<br />
In 1997 the Ann family sold Drusillas <strong>Park</strong> to<br />
Laurence and Christine Smith. The husband and<br />
wife team quickly introduced many new animals<br />
to the zoo including racoons, bats, mongoose and<br />
prairie dogs. In 2007 a well known character appeared<br />
in the park with the signing of a 10 year<br />
contract with HIT Entertainment bringing “Thomas<br />
and Friends” to Drusillas. It was the first time the<br />
kids' favourite would be seen "real" in a European<br />
attraction. Thomas provides train rides around the<br />
zoo and past scenes from the books much to the<br />
delight of youngsters, especially when the Fat<br />
Controller also appears to make sure Thomas is<br />
running on time.<br />
And now on the 18 th May 2014 another well known<br />
character has made her European park debut at<br />
Drusillas <strong>Park</strong>. For the first time outside of Asia,<br />
families can step into the cartoon world of “Hello<br />
Kitty”. The Japanese character created in 1974<br />
has become a global brand. According to the<br />
stories, Hello Kitty was born in London not far from<br />
Drusillas <strong>Park</strong>, so it seems natural she would have<br />
a Secret Garden nearby.<br />
Topping 1million BP, “Hello Kitty Secret Garden” is<br />
the biggest investment in the park’s 89 year<br />
history, and harbours three new ride constructions.<br />
Of course there is also “Hello Kitty's House”<br />
for that all important meet-and-greet opportunity.<br />
And at one end of her house is her Beauty Parlour.<br />
Wonderfully designed to look like a real beauty<br />
parlour, it's in lots of pink and scaled down to kids'<br />
size. In the parlour, little ones can have their faces<br />
painted with the design of Hello Kitty's face seeming<br />
very popular. In addition to the “Hello Kitty's<br />
House” and a gazebo with a Hello Kitty statue, the<br />
area has little in the way of structural theming.<br />
Instead, the new land takes advantage of the<br />
area's name and the early history of the park with<br />
lots of traditional British flower<br />
borders creating a colourful<br />
garden.<br />
All the rides feature Hello Kitty<br />
in some form. The “Hopper<br />
Ride”, a Zamperla Jumpin' Star,<br />
features the cat’s head on the<br />
top. The teapot on the mini<br />
Zamperla “Tea Cups” has Hello<br />
Kitty peeking out.<br />
But the “Car Ride” from Metallbau<br />
Emmeln is the most extensively<br />
themed of all the<br />
rides. The individual cars have<br />
a cat shape, and the surprisingly<br />
fast drive takes visitors<br />
through several tunnels, past<br />
shaped topiaries, around a<br />
large water fountain, and<br />
through the lovingly maintained<br />
flower gardens.<br />
Just like the staff in the zoo area,<br />
those working in “Hello Kitty<br />
Secret Garden” are wonderfully<br />
friendly and cheerful, helping to<br />
create a fun and happy atmosphere.<br />
Exactly what parents are<br />
looking for on a family day out<br />
with young kids.<br />
Naturally a beauty parlour<br />
can't be missing<br />
77
The two "Hello Kitty"<br />
attractions from Zamperla<br />
Drusillas <strong>Park</strong> is laid out in such a way that one follows<br />
a continuous path through the zoo, venturing<br />
past and through themed enclosures that allow<br />
visitors to get up close to many varieties of small<br />
animals. At the end of the trail there is a large area<br />
of play structures, indoor soft play, bouncy castles,<br />
and now “Hello Kitty Secret Garden”. There is<br />
a little short-cut that gets guests to the rides much<br />
quicker, which is worth taking advantage of as<br />
naturally the new land is busier later in the day as<br />
families reach the end of the zoo trail.<br />
Despite being a character typically loved by girls,<br />
the choice of rides appeal to all children although<br />
it would appear that girls are the ones who get<br />
most excited by the prospect of visiting Hello Kitty.<br />
Drusillas <strong>Park</strong> is a bit of a hidden gem that's been<br />
much loved by those nearby for many decades.<br />
No doubt the introduction of a major brand to the<br />
park will attract much more wide spread attention<br />
boosting attendance. “Hello Kitty Secret Garden”<br />
may not be the largest of the branded areas to<br />
have opened in the UK over the past couple of<br />
years, but then the park isn't the largest zoo in the<br />
UK either. The size, choice of rides, and indeed<br />
the chosen theme, fit well with the early idea that<br />
Drusillas <strong>Park</strong> is “a child's first zoo”.<br />
Interview with Laurence Smith<br />
How did you decide on the Hello Kitty<br />
brand?<br />
We saw lots of children walking around the<br />
park wearing Hello Kitty hats, t-shirts and bags so<br />
decided to investigate the brand. We then realised<br />
just how massive it is and how popular. It also<br />
complemented our Thomas the Tank Engine train.<br />
So we approached the London agents Fluid World<br />
to suggest a Hello Kitty land at Drusillas. It all took<br />
a while to organise but we signed the deal in June<br />
2013 and could open a year later.<br />
This is your first venture into rides. How<br />
has the project gone?<br />
Very successfully, it’s been really popular with<br />
our visitors and has added an extra dimension to<br />
our park. It's also increased the value for money<br />
aspect of a day at Drusillas, which was a key<br />
priority for us.<br />
What was it like working with the ride<br />
manufacturers and theming companies?<br />

No problem. Zamperla were excellent and so<br />
were Metallbau Emmeln - who we dealt with before<br />
when they built Thomas. We had dealt with<br />
both theming companies before so that made life<br />
easy - RMA and Meticulous.<br />
Was it more challenging than introducing<br />
new animals to the park?<br />
usual last minute rush that seems unavoidable<br />
however well you plan things in advance.<br />
Will we be seeing more rides in the park?<br />
Not sure yet but it's something we are considering<br />
but the zoo is the heart of Drusillas and<br />
we don't want to lose that.<br />
Thomas and his Friends<br />
was realized for the first time<br />
worldwide at Drusillas <strong>Park</strong><br />
Not really just a bit different. There was still the<br />
Thank you very much for the interview. ■<br />

SANTORINI FANTASY<br />
The Santorini Theme <strong>Park</strong> that<br />
opened last year was extended<br />
by a new water park at the end<br />
of 2013. Both are located directly<br />
next to the Cha-Am Premium<br />
Outlet Mall in Hua Hin near<br />
Bangkok, and are all owned by<br />
the same company.<br />

The first building phase comprising of a 16,000<br />
m 2 sized ground area contains 12 water slides,<br />
a water playground, and a wave pool for an approximate<br />
investment amount of 2.3 million Euro. The<br />
Santorini Water <strong>Park</strong> Fantasy has been designed<br />
for a capacity of up to 3,500 visitors, with the park<br />
design and all the slides stemming from Polin.<br />
Highlights amongst the water slides are the repeatedly<br />
award-winning 15 metres high "King<br />
Cobra" in snake form, the translucent "Looping<br />
Rocket" with an almost twofold (horizontal) helix, the<br />
"Space Shuttle" with a huge closed sequence, the<br />
"Freefall", and the "Bowl"-slide.<br />
The facility was conceived by Supoj Tantichirasakul,<br />
Chairman of Pena House Public Co. Ltd.<br />
He is known in the fashion world as a clothing manufacturer,<br />
but is also well respected in the business<br />
world for his creative thinking in the development of<br />
new concepts for tourism. He plans to extend the<br />
whole region for the tourist industry, as already<br />
almost 20% of visitors come from overseas. ■<br />

SEA WORLD AQUATICA<br />
WATERPARK<br />
Text:<br />

The water park that opened in 2008 in Orlando<br />
received a breathtaking novelty in the most<br />
literal sense of the word this season: the<br />
quadruple Freefall slide "Ihu’s Breakaway Falls"<br />
from ProSlide.<br />
An interesting fact about this attraction is that each<br />
of the four slides appears to be the same at first<br />
glance, but of course they're not. The orange<br />
coloured is the longest slide at 128 metres. The<br />
green has the shortest freefall sequence, and the<br />
blue slide has the steepest drop. The lilac coloured<br />
pipe slide isn't a real Drop Slide, and is the only one<br />
without a freefall mechanism and is a completely<br />
normal slide.<br />
All four slides have a simultaneous start at 24 metres<br />
height and offer after the introductory 60° to 80°<br />
steep freefall, a final horizontal 360° helix before –<br />
only seconds after the start – the brave park guests<br />
land in the lively outlet.<br />

ZAMPERLA WINS COURT RULING<br />
Innovation for ride attractions<br />
is the essential point in business<br />
with theme parks and<br />
Volksfests, and a good idea can<br />
very quickly develop into a<br />
sales hit. This fact however<br />
also induces imitators to make<br />
plans almost as quickly, to offer<br />
cheaper prices due to lower development<br />
costs – and in contrast<br />
to the original manufacturer,<br />
most probably haven't had<br />
the need to invest in less successful<br />
developments earlier.<br />
Text & Photos: Jochen Peschel<br />
However not only direct economical reasons<br />
speak for taking action against copyist. When<br />
a non-original ride construction is involved in an<br />
accident, the resulting negative publicity is often<br />
directed at the original manufacturer out of ignorance<br />
– and the considerable damage to the<br />
original manufacturer's image is hard to remedy.<br />
The protection of own ideas can be undertaken in<br />
various ways, summarized under the term<br />
"intellectual property". The copyright protection,<br />
which automatically evolves by creating a work,<br />
applies particularly to the copying of catalogues<br />
and photos. Based on this fact the Shanghai China<br />
Union Fun Equipment Manufacture Co., Ltd was<br />
prohibited from distributing its catalogue at the EAS<br />
2008 in Munich, Germany.<br />
Other possibilities are patents and trademarks,<br />
each of which must be applied for at a competent<br />
government organization at a fee, and in most cases<br />
involves costly prosecution proceedings. Such<br />
protection however applies only in countries where<br />
the application was registered or granted. In addition<br />
there is also the hard to grasp Law against<br />
Unfair Competition, which with certain prerequisites<br />
also protects against imitations.<br />
Antonio Zamperla SpA und Zamperla Inc., have<br />
proceeded with legal action in two cases in the USA<br />
based on a patent and the Law against Unfair Competition,<br />
and won the cases in the District Court of<br />
Florida. Both decisions apply nationwide. The first<br />
verdict prohibited the distribution of certain<br />
brochures by the Peking Shibaolai Amusement<br />
Equipment Co., Ltd. Additionally the decision forbade<br />
the advertising, marketing, sale and delivery<br />
of Zamperla constructions that correspond to the<br />
Disk´O, Moto Coaster, Power Surge, Rockin' Tug or<br />
Jump Around, or are very similar.<br />
The second judgement was against the Zhongshan<br />
Golden Dragon Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd.,<br />
and also enjoins the distribution of certain<br />
brochures as well as the advertising, marketing,<br />
sale and delivery of attractions of type Disk´O, Sky<br />
Drop, Jump Around, Flying Carousel, Flying Tigers,<br />
Moto Coaster or Rockin' Tug, or similar ride constructions.<br />
The enforcement of intellectual property rights is a<br />
permanent battle. Achieved verdicts pertain essentially<br />
only to the said defendants; new proceedings<br />
must be initiated against each new<br />
imitator. However judgements have a deterrent<br />
effect on third parties, and should the rightful owners<br />
discontinue their efforts then all dams would<br />
break.<br />
And so we must agree with Antonio Zamperla's<br />
statement when he said "We will continue to protect<br />
our company and the public from rides that appear<br />
to be Zamperla equipment, but which have not<br />
been engineered and manufactured according to<br />
our standards". He may also enjoy the economic<br />
bonus.<br />

LEOLANDIA<br />

Really quite clever: the erection of next year's attraction<br />
will be an attraction itself! The new<br />
theme land announced for 2015, "Peppa Pig’s<br />
World" at Italy's Leolandia is already enticing<br />
many small onlookers even this year.<br />
There's quite a lot to experience on the "Mr. Bull's<br />
Worksite", for example "helping" to blow up<br />
pipelines at the press of a button. Whilst all figures<br />
of the popular kiddie series that first became real at<br />
England's Paulton's <strong>Park</strong> in 2012, are only two<br />
dimensional figures in Italy at the moment, but<br />
Peppa Pig can already be experienced and<br />
touched "live".<br />

LEGOLAND DEUTSCHLAND<br />
There's a novelty to experience<br />
once again this year at the<br />
south German Legoland Resort<br />
– the erection of the large<br />
"Königsburg".<br />
Text:<br />
Frank Lanfer<br />
Photos: Frank Lanfer, Legoland<br />
With the establishment of an extensive accommodation<br />
offer at Legoland Deutschland<br />
Resort it appears that the resort has its finger<br />
firmly on the current trend, as family short-holidays<br />
are more popular than ever!<br />
The first houses for "Legoland Feriendorf" were<br />
erected in 2008, and extended to 72 in number in<br />
2011. In addition to restaurants, evening programmes,<br />
a lake area with climbing garden and<br />
playgrounds and a mini-golf course, the "Ritterburg"<br />
was added in 2013 with 34 rooms. Marketing<br />
Director Stephan Prien: "The success of our<br />
'Ritterburg' is overwhelming. And so it was easy to<br />
recommend an unscheduled investment to the<br />
Merlin Entertainments Group."<br />
With this step the accommodation offers could be<br />
increased this year as well. With the opening of the<br />
large "Königsburg", the capacity has been extended<br />
to an impressive 68 attractively designed<br />
rooms with 284 beds. Additionally the "Königsburg"<br />
is the first real hotel at the Legoland<br />
Deutschland Resort, offering a large buffet<br />
restaurant and a bar, and with that is independent<br />
even in the colder months of the year from other<br />
central facilities on the 11 hectares sized holiday<br />
village.<br />
Despite the current capacity of almost 1,000 beds<br />
(including the camping area with 1,900 sites), the<br />
increase in overnight accommodation is already<br />
foreseeable: Stephan Prien confirmed that a<br />
further extension in the upcoming years is already<br />
planned. In 2013 the holiday village was able to<br />
greet 12% more guests than in the previous year.<br />
57% of guests come from abroad, boosted by<br />
both Italy and Eastern Europe with the average<br />
length of stay at 2.6 days. Prien added: "2013 was<br />
our best result until now. And it appears that we<br />
may well top that again this year."<br />
84
This year's novelties at Legoland Deutschland will<br />
also make a definite contribution: in addition to the<br />
new show "The Original Cuban Circus" and a new<br />
ocean dweller at "Legoland Atlantis by Sea Life",<br />
the snake-neck turtle, there are also the world's<br />
largest Lego-model and the new Lego-cinema<br />
film.<br />
The largest model ever built from Lego-bricks is a<br />
"Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter" with a total length<br />
of 12.8 metres, a span of 13 metres, and a height<br />
of 3.3 metres – that is 32 times the size of the<br />
special model available in toy shops (see small<br />
picture on left side). The model made of 5.3<br />
million custom Lego-bricks and weighing around<br />
20 tons can be seen at the "Lego Hero Factory"<br />
together with other Star Wars exhibits (the reason<br />
for dismantling half of the 10 Kuka "Robo-<br />
Coasters").<br />
Just how long the travelling exhibition loved by<br />
Star-Wars-fans will remain at the German<br />
Legoland is unknown at this stage; the previous<br />
year it stood in New York Times Square.<br />
The current success film worldwide, "The Lego<br />
Movie", can be seen at all Legolands. An agreement<br />
with Warner Bros., has secured the rights for<br />
the Lego-concern: each Legoland may show the<br />
film once a day.<br />
The computer animated comedy of Australian firm<br />
Animal Logic (Directors Phil Lord und Chris Miller),<br />
shows only buildings that can also be recreated<br />
with Lego-bricks. And the Lego-figures, principal<br />
actors in the film, don't move smoothly deliberately,<br />
so that everything looks like authentic<br />
Lego. The message of the film: don't build only<br />
according to directions, but build what you like.<br />
The world première of "Lego The Movie" took place<br />
on the 7 th February 2014, and received many good<br />
reviews.<br />

GARDALAND<br />
Accompanied by the announcement<br />
regarding a new 42 metres<br />
high Dive Coaster from B&M for<br />
2015, and with already some<br />
ground work in progress,<br />
Gardaland opened its gates on<br />
April 1st for another exciting<br />
season.<br />

Whilst next year's novelty<br />
is already being built, Manager<br />
Aldo Maria Vigevani opens the<br />
new kiddie and water land<br />
As for the 2014 novelties, they already welcome<br />
guests immediately behind the park entrance.<br />
Located in the medieval section of the park and<br />
occupying the surface once occupied by “Ikarus”,<br />
a Huss Condor now operating at Miragica and by<br />
a medieval stunt show, “Prezzemolo Land” is a<br />
themed area entirely dedicated to summer entertainment<br />
of the youngest visitors.<br />
The idea of an attraction of this kind came from a<br />
guest who submitted it during the past season for<br />
the contest: "Il Gardaland che vorrei" (<strong>English</strong> translation:<br />
“The Gardaland I'd like”). The lucky winner<br />
and his family were among the main guests at the<br />
official opening.<br />
The central element is a small "castle" surrounded<br />
by five colourful waterslides and a set of powerful<br />
water cannons that can be used either to attack the<br />
castle from the outside or to defend it from the<br />
inside. The area is also filled with hidden fountains,<br />
barrels and other water tricks. A final measure to<br />
stop brave guests entering the castle is a giant<br />
bucket located right above the main gate which<br />
periodically releases quite a lot of water.<br />
The area can be enjoyed wearing swimsuits with<br />
changing rooms being provided. Also, to get dry in<br />
no time, there are two big yellow up-charge dryers<br />
available.<br />
On one side of the big castle there is a dry playground<br />
dedicated to the creations of Prezzemolo,<br />
the Inventor, who is clearly Gardaland's tribute to<br />
Leonardo Da Vinci. In fact the area contains flying<br />
machines, a planetarium and a large section<br />
dedicated to the art of painting featuring the<br />
masterpiece of Prezzemolo, which is no doubt a<br />
reminder of the Mona Lisa painting. Rounding off<br />
“Prezzemolo Land” there is a snack bar and<br />
another smaller area containing jumping mattresses<br />
for children.<br />
86
All in all, Prezzemolo Land is a nice and colourful<br />
addition to Gardaland and a more than welcomed<br />
refreshment for hot summer days.<br />
Due to the erection of the next large attraction for<br />
2015, the Intamin Freefall Tower “Space Vertigo” will<br />
not be available this season, and according to unconfirmed<br />
announcements the park is apparently<br />
to part company with the coaster "Sequoila Adventure"<br />
(the world's first "Screaming Squirrel" from UScompany<br />
S&S).<br />

POWERPARK<br />
Photos: Powerpark<br />
A completely new and unusual Funhouse went into<br />
operation at the Finnish Powerpark this year. The<br />
simple facade harbours the attraction "Working in<br />
Progress".<br />
It's an attraction where fun can be had by the whole<br />
family – which were the thoughts of the operating<br />
family Lillbacka. For this reason the 36 gags and<br />
tricks were attuned to this public, among them a<br />
small slide, the obligatory rolling barrels, moving<br />
floors and so on. However the theming as a building<br />
site is the special characteristic. There are a<br />
total of seven scenes that can be watched with<br />
builders. Manufacturer of all elements is the Italian<br />
firm Gosetto.<br />

KNUTHENBORG SAFARIPARK<br />
With a total area of over 500<br />
hectares, it's the largest safari<br />
park in northern Europe, and<br />
still remains in private ownership.<br />
It is visited by over<br />
220,000 guests annually but is<br />
now to receive its first ride construction.<br />
Text:<br />

Photos: abc rides<br />
Earlier visitors were enticed by an extensive area,<br />
its roots going back to 1867, when Count Eggert<br />
Christoffer Knuth had a landscaped garden installed<br />
based on <strong>English</strong> models. In 1950 a few animal<br />
enclosures were added, and in 1969 the first exotic<br />
animals arrived. These days a 15 kilometre long<br />
road network can be travelled by car, and – as a<br />
special characteristic in this segment – visitors may<br />
alight from cars in many places to watch the 1,000<br />
animals living there, at close range.<br />
A few restaurants, a large nature-playground, and<br />
a water playground round off the offers at Knuthenborg<br />
Safaripark on the Island of Lolland (1.5 hours<br />
by car from Copenhagen). However on the 10 th May<br />
2014 a water attraction from abc rides opened in<br />
the African theme area, which can even boast<br />
about being the steepest construction of its type in<br />
the whole of northern Europe!<br />
"Congo River" has a total length of 395 metres with<br />
the lift transporting the 6-seat boats to a height of<br />
16 metres. From there visitors have a view of the<br />
park that they couldn't have earlier, however this is<br />
followed by a 15 metres depth and 51° steep drop<br />
into the lake. The simultaneous operation of seven<br />
boats results in a capacity of 250 passengers per<br />
hour. The total ride time is around seven minutes,<br />
and all park guests who are a min. age of 6 years<br />
and have a height of 120 cm may partake. ■<br />
