Safety Awards

North Germany’s best leisure park is worldwide top in terms of safety: quality seal “Certified Leisure Park” for HANSA-PARK

Top place for HANSA-PARK once more: the price-performance ratio is TOP.

As the first leisure park in North Germany and second-best leisure park worldwide, HANSA-PARK has been awarded the new safety certificate by TÜV SÜD.

"The quality seal "Certified Leisure Park" is a synonym for modern and high safety standards which HANSA-PARK has built up over the decades and constantly developed further," concludes Wilhelm Schaaff, head of the amusement ride certification department at TÜV SÜD.

Apart from HANSA-PARK, so far only Europa Park in Rust has managed to gain this quality seal.

The leisure park safety certificate issued by TÜV SÜD focuses on the interaction of all safety factors. This is of particular importance in huge parks such as HANSA-PARK. Apart from individual technical tests, award criteria are: emergency preparedness and response, save and rescue services, maintenance and inspection schedules and the documentation concerning the conditions of the rides and facilities in the park.

Comprehensive audits evaluate the organisation, processes and structures of ride operations and their effects on the safety of the visitors. However, the main prerequisites are the individual amusement ride tests in accordance with DIN 4112, the guidelines on the calculation and design of amusement rides and the guidelines on the construction and operation of amusement rides. Before the certificate is issued, proof of regular individual tests performed in the past and their continued performance must be provided.

For several weeks the TÜV experts conducted safety tests, for instance on electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic amusement ride parts. Among others, they tested velocities and brake runs as well as individually experienced ride feelings and they conducted staff audits.

All of the over 34 ride attractions at HANSA-PARK were tested for the above technical safety aspects, among others Germany's only water bobsled ride, the "Rio Dorado" or the "Rendezvous in the Loop", which sees two roller coasters meet in a looping.

Managing director Andreas Leicht considers the TÜV certificate award an acknowledgement of HANSA-PARK's continued and successful efforts to combine top, high-quality and thrill-packed riding fun with utmost safety at Germany's only adventure park by the sea: "For HANSA-PARK as the No. 1 and market leader of North Germany's leisure parks and second-best theme park in the whole of Germany, it is a matter of course to be top in safety-related issues, too."

For 30 years now, HANSA-PARK has asked TÜV SÜD to perform the technical safety inspections on all its rides and both companies have been continuously cooperating in the fields of testing, acceptance and regular inspections of rides and fun facilities ever since. TÜV SÜD therefore disposes of extensive knowledge on the rides and facilities in addition to its technical know-how and experience from its long years of international activities.

The new certificate sets international safety standards for leisure parks. The amusement ride department of the TÜV SÜD gained the necessary accreditation last year. Manufacturers and operators of amusement rides as well as the leading leisure parks in Germany and abroad, among others in the USA, Canada, Hong Kong and Saudi-Arabia, use TÜV SÜD as their safety partner.
