Super Dance – Fritz Braun
Scheibenwischer with a shared bench and rhythmic ride
Operator: Fritz Braun (Bersenbrück)
Super Dance by Fritz Braun is a Scheibenwischer ride from Bersenbrück in Lower Saxony. If the name makes you think of a Break Dance with freely rotating gondolas, this is a different kind of funfair ride: the riders sit together on a long bench, which swings through its movement with momentum. This makes Super Dance particularly easy to recognise. Instead of lots of small cars, the focus is on one shared, rhythmic ride.

Highlights & records
Debut on 27 May 2016 at the Maimarkt in Wiesmoor; shared bench seating for 18 people.
Super Dance is not a Break Dance: here, all riders experience the lively ups and downs together on one long row of seats.
The sensation of riding on the swinging bench
On Super Dance, riders sit side by side. During the ride, the row of seats moves in the way typical of a Scheibenwischer, constantly changing its position. So you feel the acceleration not by steering a car or riding in several independently rotating gondolas, but through the shared swinging motion of the entire seating group. Because everyone sits side by side, you can experience your fellow riders' reactions particularly directly: one person laughs, another holds on tight, and the next movement changes the sensation all over again.
The ride is easy to watch from outside. Its compact structure lets you follow the ride and the row of seats moving up and down from close by. Although Super Dance is not a large roller coaster, the change in direction can certainly feel lively. Its appeal lies in this recurring rhythm, not in a ride on rails or a long course.

The history of Super Dance by Fritz Braun
Super Dance was built in 2016 by the Czech manufacturer Kilian. According to Ride-Index, its debut took place on 27 May 2016 at the Maimarkt in Wiesmoor. The database lists Fritz Braun of Bersenbrück as the showman. The ride is therefore a relatively recent example of the Scheibenwischer type at German fairs.
Ride-Index documents the ride's compact footprint and shared seating capacity. This means Super Dance differs from large circular rides not only in how it operates, but also in its design. If you spot it at a fairground, you can recognise it by its long bench and distinctive pattern of movement. The profile specifically describes Fritz Braun's ride, not just any ride with a similar dance-related name.

Who is Super Dance suitable for?
This ride is an interesting choice if you are looking for a manageable but action-packed experience at the fair. It's especially suited to friends who want to sit side by side and share the experience. If you are sensitive to repeated changes in direction, you should watch the ride first. The specific height and age requirements depend on the notice at the ride, where you can also find out which seats and safety rules apply.
Super Dance is also easy to compare with other circular rides. While a classic Break Dance features circular platforms and rotating gondolas, Braun focuses on the movement of a row of seats. This difference is exactly what makes the Scheibenwischer an interesting addition to a funfair line-up. Find more rides in the Attractions directory.
