Movie Park Germany: Das ist das Halloween Horror Festival 2023 - Ride Review Reportage

Welcome to a new video. We are in Moviepark Germany at the Halloween Horror Festival 2023. We will show you what's going on here, what you can experience here, what's new and much more. I promise you that. It's time for absolute annihilation. He's male, a bit too fat for his age and runs a medium-sized bad YouTube channel. Let's go, let's go. Is he in Moviepark? No, no. So, let's just get started. As you just heard, we are in Moviepark Germany at the Halloween Horror Festival 2023. Next to me is Manuel Prosortowicz, project manager of Halloween. And what I usually don't do, what people imagine, because you have so many titles on it, Prokurist, business and development and I don't know what, all marketing. Get your head out there so people know who you are and what you're doing here. I think I can put it all together myself. So, director of marketing sales, responsible for the marketing and sales activities of the park. Of course, brand development director, what is of course the heart of the park, the development of new attractions, the development of the park, the vision for the park for the next few years. Where do we want to go? What will change here? And at the end of the day, of course, also a member of the board of directors as a prokurist, together with Thorsten. And yes, that's it. It's not that much. It's just with a change on the business card. Before we get to the novelties of the Halloween Horror Festival, what is the Halloween Horror Festival, roughly speaking, for the people who should not know it, even if we have the Halloween Horror Festival for 25 years? Well, I think we can say with confidence that it is still the largest Halloween event in Europe. And we break the visitor records every year. And here, in any case, the Halloween event takes place on our entire park area. Eight mazes, five shows, four scare zones. So really the classic American Halloween, as you know it, also from Universal. So then the German version with us, but with the touch of Hollywood. So what is definitely starting again this year, because it is also very popular with our guests, is definitely Chupacabra in the Lost Temple. We have that with us again. This year, however, even with the temple in action, if it works. Then the guests can definitely drive in the dark. We took that with us. Then of course we have the Studio Tour Overlay again. Excuse me for a moment, Greetsche. The maze is from 12 this year? Yes, exactly, exactly. We also checked that again. And there is no blood, no splatter and nothing. And that's why we definitely included the maze from 12. Has the background that we of course took out the Fear Forest this year. And the Fear Forest was always our maze for the families or for the kids up to 12 or from 12. And that's why we thought about it, of course, because there is actually a lot of demand there too. But of course our core target group is still families with children. On Halloween it is the teenagers and the young adults. And that's why we looked a bit now that we definitely keep a maze that is from 12 years. And since Chupacabra of course lives more from the setting of the Lost Temple and also from the acting and also from this black dark corridor, we of course said to ourselves, okay, we can definitely offer the maze from 12. And then as an alternative to the Fear Forest, we downgraded Chupacabra to 12. But that's only because of that. Especially with these whole age classifications, it is primarily about that, of course, this splatter story is always rated differently. So body parts, blood, that has to be rated from FSK 16 or so. And with Chupacabra we don't have this splatter effect and this blood story and these body parts. And that's why we can definitely offer it at 12. But apart from the fact that you now take the journey with you, we haven't changed much either. So that would be Chupacabra. Studio Tour definitely has the well-known overlay. We kept it that way. It is still very popular and is also used very, very much in the evening. That was probably the explanation why the roller coaster is from 16. It is even so that we can definitely do it now. It is from 16. Because of course Andy gets the headshot. And of course the representations on the screens are also a bit bloodier. But this year we definitely have the opportunity to offer this for children from 14. If they are accompanied by a full-time adult or an adult, then that is also possible. We'll wait a little longer, because the beer barrels are being rolled out here. This is what it looks like when Uschi and I were in the movie park. Exactly, that was just the ride review consumption. Then we have Hell House back at the start. Definitely with one of the most popular mazes here with us. And still one of my babies and my favorite maze. Definitely after Final Stop and Murder Museum. Also there are changes in the entrance area, right? Yes, of course, due to the settings and the stunt show, because the Final Stop takes place under the stage of the stunt show, we had to change the entrance situation a bit. We still use the stunt show as the entrance area for the bus to Hell House. But we have now split it. That means on the left side you can find the entrance to Hell House. The bus picks up our guests there. And on the right side, which is the original entrance of the stunt show, there is also the entrance to the Final Stop. That has changed slightly. Last year it was still in the western area, because we had already started tearing down the stunt show. But now it is the case that on the left side, exit stunt show, is the entrance to Hell House. And on the right side is the entrance to Final Stop. Slot House, of course. Now we are sitting diagonally opposite. We have also redecorated Slot House a bit. The team was also there at the start. A big thank you to the team. They really gave it their all. Slot House is still one of our most popular mazes. I think it is also because it is the most classic maze. Splatter, Body Parts, everything that people are interested in at such a maze. We also offer it. I am definitely very happy that we can offer it every year. And that it is also ranked so high among the guests. And also has a very, very high rating. Exactly. We have implemented St. Elmo a little bit this year in this Hillbilly story. Hillbilly Town, our new scare zone in the western area. Which I really love, which I think is really cool. You just saw it yourself. And I think this will be one of my new favorite areas here. And so that it fits a little better thematically, we have definitely made slight changes to the storyline. We have a new light programming in it, new sound, new sound effects. And no longer offer the haunted lanterns. Because we said to ourselves that it certainly makes no sense if we work with the haunted lantern system in the new Maze Final Stop. Also in a certainly different way. But that we don't want to offer that in double production now. Because we also want to offer a certain variation to the guests. And that's why it's just played normally with the actors now. The setting is the same, it's a pretty cool setting. Still from the set building. And that's why we've only made slight changes there. As far as the infrastructure is concerned, as far as the sound is concerned and as far as the light programming is concerned. Project Ninja is Project Ninja. We haven't changed much there. Still very popular. And also with one of our biggest mazes. So they're back at the start. And yes, there's not much to say. Except that it's still a very cool maze. And that's why we still have them in the portfolio. And they are also very, very well received by the guests. And of course it's back at the start. It can't be missing. Definitely not. The western area is now completely new. And I'll make a little cut. Because there are three more mazes to come. But that's a really nice transition right now. First of all, I really liked what we saw. And it was really completely different. I'm fascinated by how many people are there. Otherwise it was kind of alone. What's new in the western area? What makes it different now? So it was definitely very important for us to get away from this Rammstein music first. From this aggressive feeling that prevailed there. The actors have done their thing very, very well in recent years. Very western-oriented. But somehow we were missing a bit of the red thread through this area. And especially this Hillbilly theme, Redneck. That worked very, very well with Wrong Turn back then. And a lot of people said, hey, we miss Wrong Turn. And especially this theme. And then we had the idea to say, hey, we always have to miss a little refurbishment in the western area. And since I think this Hillbilly story is pretty cool. We said, of course, that fits perfectly in the western area. Then we created an entrance arch. Where our actors can stand up there. They can play there. So that the people already have a reasonable entrance. It is also important to us that it is clearly visible where a new scare zone is located. And then we designed it all in this western style. We even organized a really cool old US motorhome. From a dealer who actually imported it from Yellowstone. So it's really original, cool. It's been around for 20, 30 years. And is now here in our park. They can also play that. And what we also did new. Is that every 30 minutes there is a twist in the music. Then there is such wild banjo music. And then the actors can totally turn around. Turn around, dance with the guests and really go for it. The music is so country-like. Country rock. And that also sounds very good. So the guests have a lot of fun. Invites you to hang out. The lighting mood also changes when this country music is used. And they have extremely cool costumes. So the whole team. Very, very big praise to my team in the HILLBILLYTOWN area. What they came up with. I'm mega happy and have a lot of fun every time I'm in that area. And they do it so well. And that also shows a little bit the way we want to go in the next few years. That we definitely want to continue storytelling in the individual scare zones very, very consistently. Want to perfect. Also in the costumes and also in the whole layout. And I think HILLBILLYTOWN is now really a bit of a cherry on the cake. Which just shows what you can do when you have a consistent storyline. And when all the employees and actors really want to get on with it. We brought them on board from the beginning. That is also very, very important to us. Unfortunately, in recent years, it has always gone down a bit with the employees. Really speak early enough. Because they often make their costumes very, very early at the beginning of the year. Also invest a lot of money, a lot of time, a lot of energy. And that's why I'm so happy that we were able to discuss this with everyone very early on. Who were up for it and who are really giving it their all here. So extremely happy with this scare zone. It's just fun. And I'm glad we were able to implement it so well. A scare zone where you probably weren't so happy in recent years is the Fear Pier, I would say. Yes, that was our trap. There is also a big add-on or two add-ons, I would even say. What has changed at the Fear Pier? Except that I noticed that there are even people who go there now. There are people, totally crazy. On the one hand, it was extremely necessary that we do something in crowd management. Last year we had a visitor record at the Halloween Horror Festival. And the number of visitors is constantly increasing every year. And of course we have to make sure that we distribute them skillfully and really smartly across the park area. And that's why it was extremely clear that one of the biggest areas that we have in the back area of the park has to be played. To just tear down the masses a bit and to create the roundabout again. Which is actually intended in this area. And I have to say, big praise to my boss, Thorsten Backhaus. He actually had the idea and said, we have to move the circus to the Pier. That fits like a glove. And since I was always a bit skeptical about the footprint and the whole infrastructure. But well, no challenge here. Of course, we also want to make sure that we can implement things and have accepted the challenge. And then simply implemented the circus completely. Because we also noticed last year, with the Monster Walk, the queue line of the circus always collided with the people on the Hollywood Boulevard. So infrastructurally, that was a small challenge last year. And now we have definitely managed to move the circus there. But we didn't just want to move the circus there and then say, this is a scare zone. But the circus is now really immersing itself in this whole topic at the Pier. So when you walk through the circus, you can see the giant wheel, the track carousel, the music. You can see the lights that reflect on the water. So it's a completely different atmosphere than in the muffled courtyard of Pizza & Pasta. And I think it's very, very successful. The colleagues are doing extremely well. Also a big thank you to the team that set up the circus. They put a lot of heart and soul into it. Also Rick, who is also part of my Halloween team, who has been with us for many years and has always been responsible for the circus. He came up with a lot of great things. And I'm mega happy with it. But to make the whole thing a little rounder and to close the Pier concept, we thought that we would definitely bring a show to the Pier with Annika. She has a super talented entertainment team with her. They all came up with super cool choreographies. They even built their own stage on the Pier. And there will definitely be another 10-minute show. Now, when it doesn't get dark so early, definitely at 8 p.m. And extremely well choreographed, very aesthetic, very beautiful. At the end there is a cool highlight. I don't want to spoil it now. People should watch it. Or you spoil it later. It's okay if I don't do it. I haven't done it yet. It's coming, it's coming, it's coming. That's a picture I can't leave lying around. No, we definitely have to take that with us. But it's time to reveal it here. We'll put it somewhere. Yes, we'll cut it in. Definitely. And we also have the Valfahrer with us at the start this year. So if you already know them from the Russel Labyrinth, I thought it was pretty cool back then. The guys did a really good job. And so that we can continue to expand this gaukler theme and the entertainment theme on the Pier, they have their circus car there. We also play it several times in the evening. And a bit of interactive theater with the guests on the Pier. And I've already seen the human dreams there before. So that is also very, very well received. And that definitely revives the entire Pier. Of course, a great light staging was also built by our showdeck guys. And very, very successful. I'm very happy with it. And it just shows, even if you now ... You just saw how lively the Pier is now. That it really distributes the masses better. And that we definitely have a reasonable crowd management now. That we have really recreated the circuit. And the Pier and the 4Pier definitely contributed very, very well to that this year. Strong. Really strong. And also a maze that already existed. Now at a new location. I found it super interesting. I think the location is really, really cool. And there is also ... Not for everyone, but for many who go through the maze. A surprise in the meantime. Where I also ... It's a joke. But no. I think you also saw that you don't necessarily go through the rides while you walk through a maze. I definitely think that's super strong. And then we would already be at the new mazes, I think. I hope I haven't forgotten any colleagues. Otherwise they'll kill me later. But I think that should ... I said it now. When is my turn? You overwhelmed me. And I have to ... Exactly. Murder Museum. We did that first. I'm thrilled. You can't imagine it like a classic maze with jumpscares. But it's blatant storytelling that takes you completely into the story. You are really in the topic. You are so blatant at some point. The one colleague who goes there and ... He just does like this. That's so strong. What is Murder Museum? Tell us something about it. First of all, I have to say that Murder Museum is definitely a co-production of our creative team. I have Charlene and Desiree from my team. They always had the idea for this story to create a maze about serial killers. Or based on serial killers. I think they've had that in the drawer for two years. And we always thought about how we could build it up. How can we connect it like a storyline? And then I asked them to work on it a little further. They are extremely creative. Otherwise they wouldn't be in my team. They really worked on a great concept in the form of this museum. First of all, you have to understand which big Hollywood blockbusters are all based on real serial killers. I have to admit that I'm an extreme horror fan. But I wasn't aware of that myself. And if you look at it now, for example, the entrance and the first exhibition rooms in the Murder Museum actually show which real serial killer was the basis for many, many, many films that we all know from the cinema. On the one hand, I think that's a really cool story to understand who is behind it. And then they really connected it with a dramaturgy. That we really have a switch again at some point. That it looks like a normal exhibition at first. But then at some point there is the switch to the story. And then the guests are definitely in the middle. I think you have to emphasize very clearly that this is definitely not a classic horror maze, as you said. But this is really an experience. This is also very much connected with acting. The actors tell a story. We have FBI employees. We have the murderers, the serial killers. But actually, and that was also important to us, they are not represented in person. And you can see, for example, the apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer, where we really put a lot of value on how authentic it should be. So if you look at the original apartment of Jeffrey Dahmer. The pictures, the lamps, the decoration, the idea, who built the kitchen. So that's really spooky. If you put the original reference next to it and just see how they rebuilt it here. Extremely cool. These are the real pictures, the real lamps. We really looked that we get everything. And he always looked exorcist when he killed his guys. And the whole Polaroids of them. And then he always made human flesh on the sandwiches. And he distributed it to the neighbors in the hallway. And Desi and Charlene also put a lot of effort into it. They were extremely in love with the detail. And they really reworked every little effort. And really to make it as realistic as possible. And that turned out to be extremely cool. We also worked with Scare Designs for the first time. A provider that makes props from the Netherlands. Also a really cool guy. He also built a hanging corpse for us. Which is somehow slit open in the middle. Which also hangs in the barn at Ed Gein. I am extremely happy with the project. The feedback is really, really good. And it's a completely different experience. And that is also extremely important to us. That we don't repeat the same scheme every time. It's getting more difficult, you have to be honest. But we definitely try to bring a very, very wide variety into these mazes. And I think with this maze it turned out extremely well. Because they did it so well. And it's really an experience. Every room builds on the next one. The story builds on the next room. This is really a really drawn-out red line. So hats off to my two ladies who implemented this. I am mega proud of them. They did it really, really fantastic. And the feedback is great. And they also liked it extremely well. That's why I'm also happy that it got to you so well. And yes, this is the Murder Museum. I really have to emphasize it again. So strong and so different. And what I think is super funny. You can't plan that. But from Charlene and Desi, this is the maze. And I know how they were still in the hostel at the time. And played along. And now they have their own maze in the same rooms. That's so cool. And there is also a cool easter egg. So if you look at the FBI room, which case files are on the FBI's desk, you will certainly discover the easter egg. For me it was all way too much. But easter egg is a good keyword. Yay, that leads us directly to the next novelty. Did you build another maze this year? Did you have two new mazes this year? Yes, that's stupid. That would have almost killed me, but yes. There is still a second maze. At our walkthrough or at the construction site? That too. Before laughing and before enthusiasm. Yes, I think I can take so much in advance. I am also enthusiastic about it. I knew it before, still in construction. And yet I was surprised by a lot. The mood, atmosphere and set design is super impressive. And the storytelling is really cool. What is Final Stop? Final Stop is the new maze, but ... Exactly. Final Stop is basically the new maze on the old square, under the stunt show stand, where we used to have Insidious and Walking Dead. We have now revived that again, because the setting is actually pretty cool. Wasn't Walking Dead under Studio 7, a.k.a. Christian Fahlertum? We had the very first Walking Dead. Was that also Walking Dead? The experience was already here under the ... Was that the one with the bars and the stroboscope straight through? Yes. That was Walking Dead? Yes, that was Walking Dead. I thought that was some non-HMD. No, that was actually ... We were very smart and worked together with Fox, the series broadcaster. And that was more like a promotion marketing campaign. And that's why it wasn't the real Walking Dead yet, as we know it under Studio 7. But that was more like a promotion campaign to promote the series. And we worked very closely with the broadcaster. But that was more like ... And we'll talk about that in another video. 25 years of Halloween Horror Festival. You'll see that another time on the channel, because now it's about Final Stop. Exactly. Final Stop under the stand of the stunt show. Yes, cool setting. Definitely with all the concrete floors, all the supply pipes, drain pipes, water pipes. Electricity cables that are everywhere. That means, in itself, it has already given us a very, very good basis for storytelling. And then we brainstormed together with the team of ImaMotion and ImaScore. And I have to admit honestly, I love the maze Below in Walibi. I think it's extremely strong, it's one of my absolute favorite mazes worldwide. They did that so well. And I always wanted to have a maze that takes people into the underworld. And here, of course, we also want to connect to the storylines of our existing event and also to the storylines of the existing infrastructure. That means, of course, it's close here. The stunt show is now playing in L.A. We have the Los Angeles setting, we have the Los Angeles Metro. So it was obvious to us that we said, we use the L.A. Metro as a headliner for this maze, as a show place. And that's why it was clear very quickly that we definitely wanted to have a sewerage, tunnel, L.A. Metro, a metro station. Combining all of this together was a bit of a challenge for ImaScore and ImaMotion. But the team mastered it bravely. And when we got the first artworks from Tim Ommer, who is also a very, very gracious designer with whom I extremely enjoy working with, I was immediately in shock and said, we have to build that. Then, of course, it starts with the metro station. Do we paint? No, tiles. We need real tiles, metro tiles, as authentic as possible. And then we sat down and planned the thing, made the route. And it was also important to us not to use this straight tunnel again, but to use the route so that we could use the areas of the stand from right to left, which we couldn't use before due to TÜV restrictions. Because, of course, we have to have certain heights. But if we now work with these sewer pipes, with these drainage pipes, we can of course also install them in the back corner. This means that we were able to greatly increase the footprint of the maze. So a big advantage for us to make the maze much bigger than it used to be. And also to give the guest the feeling of really crawling through the sewer pipe. And he has to crawl and climb a few times. We have installed a large water tank, water pipes where water runs out. Which is really, really cool. And that was also important to us in the theming. Authenticity here too. Also all the drainage channels, all the sewer pipes, they are all made of concrete. We have 13 tons of cement in the thing. And then Petro did that, with whom we also implemented the stunt show sets. And they did a great job there. And I'm extremely happy because it's just extremely robust, because it's super, super authentic. And you forget, and that's what was very, very important to us from the beginning. But of course there is still a certain residual risk that this maze still feels like it is under the stand. But that actually worked out so well that you completely forget that you are under a stunt show stand. And of course we also have an extremely cool part, which you also designed. So again, big thank you to you. Because it has become so, so cool. I mean, I'm not allowed to say it like that, but I love this toilet area. It just became so fancy, so porn. You did a great job. We are also very grateful for that. And yes, a very, very cool area. And we just experienced it in the sweat of our faces. And were chased by the toilet lady. You were already scared at the beginning of the maze in front of me. But what you say, that you no longer know that you are under the stand. And at some point you are lost in this maze. That doesn't make any sense. We can't go back. You don't even know where you are going. That's really blatant. And that's just under a stand. That's actually so huge. Very smart ideas from the team that we said we don't do straight courses, but we really do a semicircular course. So that you really feel like you're going around the corner. It's a straight course, but we just bent it. So that you don't see the end and the beginning. But from the feeling, it feels longer. It confuses the guests. And of course you have a completely different orientation when you come out of the corridor. And we definitely did that a few times. That we changed the direction so that it definitely feels as if it were much longer than it actually is. And also to get the guests to lose their orientation in the overall structure of the maze. And that really worked out very well. So I'm very, very happy with this maze. And also very, very happy with the collaboration with Xaver Willebrand and his team. And what they did there. I know I was probably also pain in the ass. But they had very, very good ideas. Very, very good works at the start. The light is great. What Patrick Kerner did. So the media content from Patrick Jansen, from my brother, you definitely have to show that. The pre-show, not the pre-show, but the safeties. So what he did there. That's really next level. And I could just watch the safeties all the time. Because they turned out so cool. Incidentally, also with a lot of easter eggs. But I think we'll play them to you again. You'll definitely have to show them too. And then people can watch. In any case, definitely. After a very short final stop, Haunted Lanterns are out at St. Elmo. Yes, that's right. How could I forget that? Too much news. But I know what you're up to. Of course there is a very, very good collaboration with Hank from Haunted Lanterns. And this time, also in line with the setting, not with a lamp that you wear, but with a construction helmet that has the lamp on top and which is supposed to show the light to the guests at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes, sometimes not. I think it creates a completely different mood and atmosphere through the fog and the light from the lamp. And when another one comes up, that looks really cool. I love that this hazer in this whole maze definitely makes sure that when this beam of light from the helmet breaks in the fog, it's just a really cool feeling. I mean, I'm a marketing person. But I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart. And because I just think it's cool, it's really this beam of light that breaks in the fog and it really looks so authentic and so cool. You're really in the mood. I just celebrated it so much because I just thought it was so cool. And by the way, I had the helmet on for the very first time with you today. I haven't even thought about putting this helmet on at some point. But yes, mega cool. I needed the helmet today too. Right, I saw you docked a few times somewhere. For everyone who is trying this out now, there are a lot of water pipes everywhere in the whole maze. And they are sometimes in the way. A little bit. Max Behring is back at the start. He's warming up the people. Stefan Nölle is back and has the hypno-casting. You have completely new light design on the Main Street. You also have so many new decorations in the Scare Zones. Light is even more, effects are even more. The MP Express is now called Bamboo Twister Express and also has a light concept. Bandit got new light. Very new for Halloween. That's all cut off very quickly before people say, what are you doing? But that's all new too. But where are we actually sitting here? Yes, that's right. And I also have a Bemsel hanging around my neck. It has a little something to do with it. So we, and that is also extremely important for us as a park. We are always in dialogue with our guests. And I'm always out a lot with my team. And we always listen to each other. What do the guests want? What are the guests still missing? And what do we still have to optimize, improve, change for the next few years? And a very, very big demand was always to go backstage and look behind a Halloween haunted house to see how it's done. What do the green rooms look like? Where do the monsters make up? Hey, we need a little retreat point where you can chill out for a while and where we can go back out into the mire. And all of that combined was then the idea to offer a VIP ticket. We didn't want to call it R.I.P. Pass again or anything. Since we have SICK as the Self-Intelligent Killing Machine, as our mascot for Halloween, we decided to call it SICK Pass. So our VIP Horror Experience in Movie Park Germany. There are a lot of goodies in there. It starts with a VIP parking next to the ticket booth. There's a backstage tour, an hour to an hour and a half, where you can see the green rooms. You also go to the costume fund where they show how our latex masks are made, how the make-up works. Then there's the Ninho project, which you can see during the day with lights on. You can also look at the monsters in the green room. There's also an interview situation. All of that is included in the backstage tour. Then there's of course the entrance to the SICK Lounge, because we wanted to create an area where the guests can chill and where they are close to the stage. The area goes from the front to the stage. We did that in cooperation with Monster Energy Drink. Here's a little retreat. We have the former Gossam Ice, which was here for 20 years in the Dornröschenschlaf. I can already spoil that much. There will also be a sledding rental at Christmas. The location will definitely stay with us. Then there are the two new mazes, which are extremely popular and are already booked on many weekends. You can also visit them without a time slot. Then there are two more mazes that are more stressful. The customer group who wants to go there wants it to be a little more chilled and a little quieter, a little more elitist. I would also say that we did four mazes today and walked around a bit and looked at the streets. You couldn't have done more without running through here in a hurry. You want to celebrate that. You really have to say what you just said. We now have an upgrade at the Mapping Show. I haven't mentioned it. I forgot something else. We'll get back to that later. It's really a lot. We have so much that even the marketing manager forgets what he actually has in his portfolio. But the Mapping Show got an upgrade. We definitely went back two minutes. Then there is a recap. The old logos of the mazes and a bit of old archive material. We'll show that at the end. Then there is and I love Beetlejuice there is a light show on the Hollywood Boulevard. Our show tech guys programmed it. I just love it. There are bars in every window. We can illuminate every window individually. We have all the moving lights. We have the spots. We have a lot of gobos with our logos and the atmosphere on the street. A mega show laser in front. Definitely an experience. But it happens randomly. We want to pay the people who are here and who don't visit a maze. Many just come because of the atmosphere. That was our goal for 25 years Halloween Horror Festival. To increase the atmosphere and deliver better quality. We invested a high six-digit sum in light. I think you can see that in the whole park. It's a pleasure to see the atmosphere and that the guests like it. Mapping show, light show, Madhouse show, show show show. Madhouse was extremely popular last year and this year again. Great team. It's fun to work with them. But we said we definitely need a new headliner act. It's really cool. They are a bit crazy. We even pushed them to bring something that is extremely creepy. They have the Baron from America's Got Talent. He holds the Guinness World Record with his strongest nipples in the world. He pulls his girlfriend up and she swings on his nipples on the rope. That's really cool. It's a lot of fun. Madhouse, just watch it again. I like to watch it again and again. Cool show. Definitely a great enrichment for the Halloween Horror Festival. You have 280 incredibly strong, sick, cool monsters that really deliver here. I would like to hear that again. I would like to hear that again. I would like to hear that again. How cool they are and how you feel the heart. They don't just come to the park. Halloween always starts with the Monster Walk. Monster March. Monster Walk. Sorry, but this music is really awesome. There is also an upgrade and Sick is there. Yes, that's right. I forgot something again. Shame on me. Sick is our mascot. You can see it here in the park. We have it as a photo point. As an inflatable. Five meters. If you want to take selfies with Sick. If you want to take selfies with Sick. But Sick lives and moves. He's not just an inflatable here. He becomes an inflatable and leads the parade. He leads the parade. And there, too, Anni from our entertainment team has put forward a cool choreography. They all have hats on. They run away with torches. That's a lot of work. It's great because we want to have a big eye-catcher who leads the parade. And then of course our sensational good Skerak follow and run to the rhythm of the music. They run in and the guests go crazy. I'm very happy that we have this opening and that it works so well. And that everyone is so eager to participate. Without all the Skerak that we have here, the Halloween Horror Festival would not be what it is. It lives on the actors. I'm incredibly happy what they deliver here. They are so eager. They really give it their all. It's so much fun to see them all over the different areas. They had a short break here. How cute. They all stood together at the door. They say they liked it. And of course they are happy when they get us. Sometimes I have the feeling that they lead a bar list because they scared me. And that's really a bone job. I take my hat off to them. What they do here every evening with the masses of people that we push through here. That's the madness. There is the greatest respect. They are here every day. They stand here on the mat and make up for hours. Great job. Without them, it would not be the Halloween Horror Festival. The last 1-2 years I was a bit fed up. But this year, I was excited. Everyone put a lot of effort into the atmosphere. The park had so much energy today. Respect for that. Good luck. You still have until November 12th? Yes, until November 12th. We still have a few days on the calendar. We will close the park on November 12th and open it again on December 1st. Some of you may have noticed that there are Christmas lights everywhere. That's our plan right now. At the end of Halloween, we hang up the Christmas lights, put them in operation and test them. We will do that in parallel for the next few weeks. So hats off to my boys who test the Christmas lights all night after Halloween. Stay tuned. This year, Max Behring has a lot of DJs with him. We are working closely with the booking agency Perucaville. Max Behring & Friends and JC Zeller will be there this year. Just have a look on our website when they will be there. I think it's great for everyone who is a fan of EDM and wants to party. We have a great line-up this year. I'm super happy that we were able to make it happen. I hope we didn't forget anything. Perfect. You have to go to the homepage for the calendar of the event and for the prices for entry, mazes and so on. Hashtag DynamicPricing so you know what it costs. That's it. Thank you. Thank you. Nice to have you here. Nice to have you here. Yeah, exactly.
