Super-Skooter – Staudenrausch

Super-Skooter at Memminger Jahrmarkt

At Memminger Jahrmarkt, the covered bumper car track is a landmark at Kaisergraben. The city of Memmingen lists the bumper cars there as one of its popular classics. The large fair spans several squares in the city centre, and among the wide range of attractions, the bumper cars offer a place to enjoy a ride together.

For the Staudenrausch showman family, Memmingen is also their home town. Alongside the bumper cars, the family operates other rides, including a Musik-Express. The fair therefore features different types of fun from the same family business. This shows the range of the business without conflating its different rides.

What a ride on Super-Skooter Staudenrausch is like

The cars move independently across a shared metal floor. You take the wheel and can choose an open route, a turn or a change of direction. At the same time, other visitors steer their cars. This means that open routes and encounters keep changing throughout each ride.

Super-Skooter relies on the classic principle that has made bumper cars a meeting place for generations. Riding with friends creates a shared experience, even though each car goes its own way. From the outside, you can watch the cars spread out across the track and react to one another.

The Mack hall's design and character

The two-pillar design gives the riding area an open feel: a roof spans the floor, while you can watch the cars from outside. According to the ride register, the 28 cars are made by Bertazzon. A Mack hall combined with cars from another manufacturer is not unusual for travelling bumper cars. Both elements contribute to the appearance of this particular ride.

History: From Karl Kritz to Memmingen

The history of this Mack hall leads from Stuttgart to Memmingen. Ride-Index records Karl Kritz from Stuttgart as its former operator until July 2023. The ride then passed to Schaustellerbetrieb Staudenrausch. The physical two-pillar structure remained unchanged when it changed hands. So, when identifying historical photos, it's worth noting that images from the Kritz era may show the same bumper cars that later travelled with Staudenrausch.

The sale was connected to another development at Kritz: in 2023, the Stuttgart family introduced a newly built Super Skooter by manufacturer Adesko. This modern new ride is a different attraction. It inherited the name, not the Mack hall. So if you're looking for Kritz's former bumper cars, you can now find their travel history with Staudenrausch.

Who is Super-Skooter Staudenrausch for?

The bumper cars are a good choice if you prefer steering for yourself rather than following a set ride. Encounters on the track add variety, especially when you visit the funfair in a group. Ask at the ride for the age and supervision rules for children.
