it promised to be an interactive learning experience with a high fun factor: the “Mega Dino Live Show”, which took place last Saturday in the Ustermer the stadthof hall. Children should be on dinosaur dummies horseback riding, you are allowed to feed and so more about the extinct animals learning. By means of posters (including promises like “We entertain you” and “Fun and Action for Kids”), and to schools and kindergartens, distributed vouchers for a reduction of one franc for children and their parents were made to the Show’s attention.

Conveniently located, the Dinos pass is: 19 Swiss francs it costs for adults, CHF 20 for children. However, 400 to 500 people came to the morning idea. In retrospect, many parents seem to regret this decision. Some request the money back, at least in part, because the Show provides too little for the price. The “Zürcher oberländer has reported”.

In the break home

Many parents left the morning shot idea already for the Pause, almost half the chairs remained empty after that. “We are totally disappointed,” said a father. For this price, he would have expected to definitely more. Riding on a Triceratops-dummy, for example, was only possible for children, who expressed this desire already at the cash register and the card you had received. And even for this it was, according to the “Zürcher Oberländer” more of a Up and down lift as a “ride”. You have only three seconds to sit on it, says a girl.

A father from Russikon described the Show as “disappointing”. The demonstration was “extremely long-winded and totally unloving”. He knew German productions of puppet theaters, which are always very well made – “but here everything is missing,” he says. For more parents to join the criticism. “Pure rip-off” and “total Trash” is out of the question.

agitators in the audience

We could not appeal to everyone in the audience, replied Silvana Wittmann criticism. She has performed companions the occasion with your life. In addition, a spectator had stirred up the Rest of the audience, says Wittmann, a day after the first report of the “Zürcher Oberländer”. The two had been in the first place back dissatisfied.

An employee of the stadthof hall confirmed this statement. If a plaster hoe, were other often infected. This was also on Saturday. In addition, the organizers have been caught off guard a bit by the many spectators. In the second presentation of the afternoon had been, instead of 400 to 500 around 200 visitors. The sequence was then appropriately smooth.

Sophisticated Ustermer?

Finally, Wittmann points out that the Show had already been a guest in various German cities and also in the two Swiss cities of Buchs and Jona SG. Such a sophisticated and “in-sensitive and aggressive” audiences have never experienced before.

Many would probably have expected something in the style of the Show “walking with Dinosaurs”, she suspects. The life-sized Dinos of this production to be controlled remotely by technicians. It will take place but in large towns and cities (also in the Zürcher Hallenstadion), shelled out 70 to 90 francs for the entry fee and will cost around $ 20 million. In comparison, their amounts were moderate, Wittmann.

Still, it had been on Saturday ready to take on some of the demands for a money refund – but only after the Show. The indignant parents, which shot the Show to break left, have not been able to benefit from it. (hwe)
