June 2018 saw the opening of a revolutionary 4D rotating darkride
Family theme park Bayern Park in Germany has opened worlds’ first Farm Fair GameChanger
managing director at Bayern-Park: “We are so proud of having the world premiere of this unique
The first reactions and findings of both visitors and park operators are overwhelming…”
The ride is completely designed in a crazy farm theme
and offers huge capacity of guests in a relatively small area
Visitors step into a vehicle on a platform that rotates like a revolver
they get to play amazing games at the Farm Fair
Bayern Park renamed the ride to the typical Bayerische ‘Stadlgaudi 4D’
With carrot cannons installed on the vehicles
so visitors can compare their final score to fellow players immediately
Just to improve their scores and beat their friends
The high-end technology only has one goal: to offer visitors and park operators a first-class experience
Reactions from other theme parks have shown that the Lago-technology has almost no downtime and all equipment is very maintenance friendly
In short: there’s no better and more reliable system
The experience for visitors is truly impressive
due to the very accurate interactive shooting game
CEO Lagotronics Projects: “We are so proud of our very own game-changing and unique darkride
Another advantage is the relatively small investment if you compare it to a traditional darkride
Both existing as interested clients say the huge capacity of guests in a relatively small area is the biggest advantage
We deliver the whole ride package from design to installation
world class equipment and unprecedented technology.”

We talk to managing director Silke Holzner about her plans for the family-run theme park
<a href="https://blooloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/bayern-park_silke_holzner.jpg" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>Silke Holzner&nbsp;took over the role after the passing of her uncle in 2009
Holzner is in conversation with Sam McCaffrey
I’m 39-years-old and I am the managing director of Bayern-Park
I worked as an assistant tax consultant before my uncle Josef Hochholzer passed away in 2009 and I took over his position at Bayern-Park
as my grandparents Elfriede and Alfons Hochholzer founded it in 1985
Bayern-Park derives its origin from animals as at first the park’s area was just a farm with animal husbandry
Breeding red and fallow deer was not really more than a hobby then
as the animals attracted an increasing number of visitors and evermore families made a trip with their children to see the enclosures on weekends and holidays
the decision to accommodate more animals and to found a wildlife park was made
pygmy goats and miniature ponies were the main attraction in addition to some carrousels and a playground
the Vilstaler Wildpark was renamed Bayern-Park and reopened as amusement park
It is now the home of more than 60 attractions on 40 hectares of land
We welcome around 390.000 visitors each season – from the Easter holidays until October
we increased our visitor numbers by around 6% compared to 2016
we’re hoping to reach 400,000 visitors during our season
The majority of our visitors come from a 250km radius around the park. This includes Bavaria, upper Austria and parts of the Czech Republic. As our region is not a big tourist magnet, we mostly have locals visiting our park.<a href="https://blooloop.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/bayern-park-logo-1.png" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>
We mostly focus on families with children up to 12 years as our main target audience
Our strategy is to widen the offer for this audience and to keep these visitors for as long as possible
We want to make it a new experience every time they come to visit Bayern-Park
With our Freischütz Launch Coaster and several other planned rides
we’re also hoping to extend our target audience to teenagers and young adults in the future
For our 2018 season we have four new attractions coming up at Bayern-Park. For families and smaller children, we’re going to open a tractor ride and the farm race, both rides coming from <a href="https://www.metallbau-emmeln.de/en" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Metallbau Emmeln</a>
Working with <a href="https://www.lagotronicsprojects.com/en/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Lagotronics Projects</a>, we’re also going to introduce our new Stadlgaudi, which roughly translates to “shed fun”. A truly crazy and insane <a href="https://blooloop.com/news/bayern-park-lagotronics-farm-fair-gamechanger/" data-wpel-link="internal">4D interactive rotating dark ride</a>
we’re going to have a new pirate magic show during the Bavarian Whitsun and summer holidays
we’re focusing on our slogan: “Enjoy your leisure time together!” Families can experience these new attractions all together
Nobody has to stay behind and wait for the others to finish the ride
The new Stadlgaudi also brings more interactivity to the park
It allows you interact with the 3D movies and try to gather as many points as possible
Bayern-Park opens for its 2018 season on 24 March
