Crazy Christmas Drive – Küchenmeister

The design and the No. 2 bumper cars

The track is covered by a roof structure, allowing the experience to retain the classic bumper car feel even in wintry weather. In a feature on Winterberger Kirmes, the attraction was explicitly described as “Küchenmeister No. 2” by Dirk Küchenmeister. The measurements and track area given there show that this is a large, standalone bumper car ride. A feature on Kirmesecke also lists it under this name and describes the colourful evening lighting. The music and changing light effects also contribute to the ride’s distinctive appearance.

The addition “No. 2” is important for identification: the Küchenmeister showman family is also associated with an “Automatic-Scooter”. The two names should not be treated as equivalent without evidence from the ride. The attraction presented here is the bumper cars documented as No. 2.

Crazy Christmas Drive: The driving experience

Unlike a ride on a set track, you choose your own direction on these bumper cars. You drive around the shared area, dodge other cars, turn the steering wheel and react to their movements. This interaction is what makes bumper cars so much fun: you can cruise around at your own pace or try out new routes with friends. It is an experience you share with others, too, as you can watch the little duels on the track from the sidelines.

At Küchenmeister No. 2, music is an integral part of the ride. LED effects highlight the illuminated hall. At Weihnachtszauber, the ride presented as Crazy Christmas Drive blends into the festive winter atmosphere while retaining its character as a freely steerable ride.

History and Christmas appearance

The name “Küchenmeister No. 2” is already familiar from previous funfair seasons. It appears both in trade overviews and in event reports from Westphalia. As “Crazy Christmas Drive”, the ride is given a name that suits the event at Cranger Weihnachtszauber. The line-up of rides listed for 2026 explicitly includes both names together, so the Christmas appearance can be attributed to the same physical ride.

Who is Crazy Christmas Drive suitable for?

If you’re looking for an attraction where you can get involved yourself, this bumper car ride is one of the accessible classics of a fair visit. Riding as a group is especially enjoyable: as each car drives differently, the fun between passengers happens naturally. Spectators can also enjoy the lively scene of moving cars, music and lights.

That’s why it’s worth checking the notices at the entrance before you ride. You can find binding access and safety rules directly at the ride. If you’d like to compare other similar attractions, you can find them in our overview of rides.
