Hamburger Sommerdom (2017)

Who would have ever believed to see the last Mack Rides log flume to disappear from the German fair circuit and yet it is. Since my childhood, Meyer/Steigers log flume Wildwasser dominated all fairs in Northern Germany and of course most of the other parts of Germany as well with its stunning backdrop and the great double drop finale. Let’s see where Mellors will place the Grande-Dame, maybe we will see her again in Skegness in some years.

While Wildwasser shows up for the last time, the VR dark ride Dr.Archibald Master of Time had its great premiere. Sadly, it was broken on my day of visit, but Mr.Greier did a fantastic job on the decoration of the ride. You can hardly tell, that this ride used to be the Geistertempel/Geisterhotel ghost train in its former life.

If you ask me about the ultimate HUSS attraction, I would refer to the Flic Flac. It is an insane maschine, which was born in a time when everything had to offer multiple upside down moments. Yeah, it is a product of the late 90’s. Interestingly, the Flic Flac came into existance as the Mega Dance – a modern approach of the classical Swing-Up –, which suddenly had to react to the new Shake attractions of Mondial, which just turned the world upside down, in order to stay interesting. Due to several crack problems, there are not many Flic Flacs left in operation. To the suprise of everybody, the showman Hanstein took his hand over the old Flic Flac of the showman Schrod and created Devil Rock. For many years, Devil Rock offered an insane ride sensation – as it is just the case with every ride by Hanstein –, before he sold it up to the showman Steffen. As I love this ride, I could not resist to visit this year’s edition of the Hamburger Frühlingsdom:

This year the great funtime drop tower Skyfall by showman Goetzke got even more interesting, as it just turned itself into a Gyro Drop. Now, the ride does not only feature an excellent freefall experience, but also a great panoramic view onto the fairground, which is even more exciting, when you can enjoy it in Hamburg
