Street Fighter – Marion Schmidt

Street Fighter Schmidt: On the road with Bertazzon-Berlin cars

The Streetfighter is a classic self-drive ride. You get into one of the cars, take hold of the steering wheel and steer around a shared track. All participants use the same track. Where there was a clear path just moments ago, another car may appear the next moment. These encounters and the constant need to adjust your direction make every ride different.

The vehicles are an important identifying feature. Ride-Index lists 20 Bertazzon Berlin cars for this specific ride. They move beneath a large roof supported by two pillars. As the hall is clearly visible from the outside, you can also watch the ride from the edge. Especially with friends, the shared space creates an immediately tangible sense of interaction.

Marion Schmidt's business in Saxony

Street Fighter is closely associated with the showmen's scene in eastern Saxony. Trade and press reports list the ride at the Dresden Spring Fair and the Autumn Fair. 2026 it was part of the line-up of rides at Pieschener Allee, where several classic rides and family-friendly attractions shared the fairground. Previous appearances by the bumper cars at the Jacobimarkt in Neugersdorf are also known.

Travelling through different cities is part of the ride’s character. For operation, the structure and vehicles are set up at different locations before the cars are put back into use on the ride surface. The name Street Fighter remains its distinguishing feature, even as the fairground and the neighbouring rides change.

Setup and appearance

The two-column design provides plenty of open space above the track. This makes it easier to see the cars and is a feature of the classic design of large bumper cars from this period. The structure should not be confused with a permanent indoor installation: Street Fighter travels as a fully dismantlable showman's ride.

As a visitor, you experience the hall mainly through the movement of the rides. There is no prescribed route across the shared area. As a result, different situations keep unfolding between the cars, even if you visit the same attraction several times.

History of the Streetfighter bumper cars

The current ride was built in 2000. The Ride-Index ride database lists Landwermann/Adesko as the manufacturer. It names Landwermann from Nienburg as the previous owner, before the bumper cars became part of Schmidt’s operation. This makes it possible to trace the ride’s technical identity beyond its former operator.

This distinction is particularly important when it comes to the name Street Fighter. Fairs also feature a high ride with the same name. This other ride is made by the Italian manufacturer Technical Park and consists of a swinging arm with rotating rows of seats. Marion Schmidt's Street Fighter, on the other hand, is a bumper cars pavilion. Apart from the similarity in their names, the two attractions have no technical connection.

Who is Street Fighter Schmidt suitable for?

If you enjoy driving yourself and reacting to other cars, the Streetfighter offers exactly this classic bumper car fun.
