Hamburger Sommerdom (2015)

It is always a good sign if the Spinning Coaster Höllenblitz by showmen Renoldi shows up in Hamburg. Together with Steiger’s Teststrecke and Buwalda’s Euro Coaster, there was a clear and good domination of roller coasters presented at this year’s edition of the Hamburger Sommerdom. Unfortunately, due to upcoming high winds, I could not take a ride with the Star Shape High Energy and therefore focused on getting some pictures with my new lense only.

Organ Music and a Small Roller Coaster

Böhmischer Prater

In addition to the large Wiener Prater, there is a second inner-city amusement park, the Böhmischer Prater, in the Favoriten district of Vienna on the edge of the Laaer Berg recreation area. In addition to more modern facilities, the park offers a number of historical treasures, such as the 125-year-old horse carousel, the 86-year-old caterpillar track and the somewhat hidden flight carousel.

The park is mostly aimed at children, who appreciate the park very much, even though the most visited attraction on this day was the mini golf course. In general the park was well visited this Sunday, probably due to numerous communion celebrations, so that even the search for a parking spot was a bit exhausting.

Shark Trip

As a roller coaster, the park can feature a ride by SBF Visa, which interestingly, like all other rides on this parcel, was controlled from a central place. The never-ending ride on the Shark Trip turned out to be much faster ride than the classical wacky worms of the same company.

Conclusion Böhmischer Prater

The Böhmischer Prater is a park which families with small children will definately enjoy. In comparission with the more famous Vienna Prater, the park will not empty your wallet. The gastronomic establishments are well attended, rides and other amusement facilities are numerous and street entertainment is also offered by numerous barrel organ players. You simply cannot do anything wrong by visiting this small amusement park.

Hamburger Winterdom (2014)

Häsler’s take on Disneyland’s long gone special effects dark ride Alien Encounter is just awesome. The show ride built by the showman himself offers a great suspense and has some interesting humour attached to it. The special effects are all to the point and leave you with a big grin on your face when exiting the ride. Not as frightening is the Double Jump Tagada by the showman Petter, which has a similar effect on its riders. Overall it was a very nice Winterdom.
