Orlando’s ten year run

With this year’s IAAPA Attractions Expo return- ing to Orlando, after a one-year absence, IAAPA leaders will be challenged to keep the annual gather- ing new and fresh for attendees to return each year. Why one may ask? The 2010 edition of the convention and trade show will mark the beginning of an unprecedented 10-year run in Orlando. Sure this year’s show is easy and appealing. A scheduled evening at Universal Orlando on Thurs- day night to take in the new Harry Potter themed area is the current buzz in the industry...at least for this year.

What they are saying about the Wonder Wheel

Richard Munch, Historian for the National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives Richard Munch, historian for the National Roller Coaster Museum & Archives, expresses his admiration of the Wonder Wheel and its caretakers. “I remain thankful that the Vourd- eris brothers, Dennis and Steve, are still run- ning the show at Deno’s Wonder Wheel Park. They are two good guys that were stuck in the middle of a real estate game being played at Munch Coney, which I think has actually worked out for all involved (in late 2008). While they can claim to operate the largest Ferris wheel in the City of New York – as well as one of the most famous in the world – they are also preservation- AT PHOTOS / ists,” said Munch. “When the Thunderbolt roller coaster was Cut... unceremoniously demolished in Nov. 2002, they saved a small piece of that Coney Island icon, the large metal ‘N’ that made up the name over the coaster’s entrance. They contacted me, and in Aug. 2003, I picked it up and transported it to the archives of the American Coaster Enthusiasts, where it still sits today, one of the few remaining remnants of that famous ride. Without the Vourderis’ involvement, that wonderful piece of history would have probably been lost.”

Jim Futrell Historian for the National Amusement Park Historical Association Jim Futrell of the National Amusement Park Historical Association echoes Munch’s ad- miration of the ride. “The Wonder Wheel is one of the last remnants of what was considered the amusement industry’s Golden Age. In the years following World War I, advancing technology and more sophisticated consumers shifted the focus of the industry from sedate attractions Futrell such as live entertainment to the thrill driven attractions we know and love today. Like the roller coasters of the era, the Wonder Wheel was and is an engineering marvel, not only standing 150 feet tall, but also featuring the unique swing- ing cars that turn a tame observation ride into a true thriller. The Wonder Wheel is a classic and we are fortunate to have such great IMAGES COURTESY DENO’S WONDER WHEEL ARCHIVES caretakers as the Vourderis family overseeing this treasure.” The Wonder Wheel was built by the Eccentric Ferris Wheel Co. using a design by supplied Ken Hochman, by inventor Charles Hermann.

European amusement and attractions owners, operators, and suppliers will experience the vibrancy of London during the Euro Attractions Show (EAS) in 2011. EAS 2011 London will be held at the Olympia Exhibition Center, September 27-29, 2011. EAS 2011 London is expected to occupy the Grand and National Hall in the Olympia with more than 270 exhibitors and 8,000 participants. The Olympia, which is known for its stunning Victorian ar- chitecture, magnificent galleries and ornate barrel-vaulted roof, has recently been renovated and will provide a dramatic setting for Euro Attractions Show 2011. The exhibition facility, which is located in central London is surrounded by hotels and restau- rants, and is easily accessible by the London tube system and taxi services. The British capital is a world-class city rich in culture and history. It is well-known as host to some of the most famous and visited attractions in the world. The vitality of the city and its countless offerings draw everyone from families and students to business professionals and world travelers. “Going to London for EAS 2011 is a natural progression for IAAPA and the Euro Attractions Show. With our strong relation- ship with BALPPA (The British Association of Leisure Parks, Piers & Attractions) and the large number of attractions in the United Kingdom it is, without question, one of the best places to take EAS,” stated Mats Wedin, chairman of the IAAPA Europe Advi- sory Committee. •www.IAAPA.org/EAS.

Jora Vision also handled major projects for Gar- dens in Kopenhagen and The Dolfinarium in Harderwijk: • The Flying Trunk at Tivoli Gardens was built in 1993 to celebrate Tivoli’s 150th anniversary. De- signed by Tivoli artist Richard Branderup and updated by Mikkel Sonne, the attraction is based on 32 fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. During the 7.5-minute ride, guests encounter 120 animatronic figures from the fairy tales. Apart from Jora’s technical upgrades, which increased the ride’s capacity to 1,000 visitors per hour, the refurbishment of The Flying Trunk included the addition of new scenes and new lighting designed by Act Design. Todd Casper’s new title song and background music also enhances the atmo- sphere. •The Dolfinarium in Harderwijk, originally opened in 1965, is The Netherlands’ only such facility. For the 2010 season, Jora Vision designed and produced the decors and scenery for the park’s new- est presentation, Dream-wish. Having debuted in March, the new show is loaded with a number of surprising special effects designed to transport the audience into a fantastic world of dreams and fantasy. •www.joravision.com.

We felt the Riptide Bay expansion was the best way to kick off the 2011 season. The new double-sided Surf Rider is an amazing attraction that our guests will have just as much PHOTO COURTESY SIX FLAGS GREAT AMERICA fun watching as participating.

The group also has been instrumental in saving and restoring several classic at- tractions, including the Fright Zone at the former Erieview Park in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio. In addition to preserving, restoring, chronicling, and promoting dark rides, DAFE publishes a quarterly maga- zine, Barrel O’ Fun, has the Daffy Klub Web site www. dafe.org and it runs an annual survey of its members from which the group publishes the top favorites in several differ- ent genres of the industry. On this anniversary, Davis looks back fondly on DAFE’s creation. “We were three se- rious fans of dark rides and felt a formal group of other aficionados could help us with our mission of not only enjoying and promoting the rides and walk-throughs but also in helping us preserve and restore them before all the classic sites were torn down and destroyed,” Davis notes. “Thanks to the generous amount of time our member- ship has given over the years, we have succeeded and are much more than a basic fan club. We are now a strong, focused organization that has proven it can be helpful to at- traction owners throughout North America while provid- ing our members an oppor- tunity to learn, preserve and enjoy their passion.” For more information on the Darkride and Funhouse Enthusiasts group, go to their Web site at www.dafe.org, or contact Rick Davis at (330) 856-4623 after 4 p.m. Eastern or via email at: rickdavis@ AMUSEMENTTODAY.COM AMUSEMENTTODAY.COM AMUSEMENTTODAY.COM November 2010 AMUSEMENT TODAY 35 MIDWAY www.AmusementToday.com CARNIVALS FESTIVALS REVENUE SUPPLIERS Fair season in full swing, many continue to post gains Pam Sherborne Amusement Today The fair season contin- ues and numbers still seem to be consistent — with good weather, the fairs are posting gains over 2009.
