Please sign this petition to save the Fellhornpark. One of the best parks in Germany and probably the one with the best kickerline.
You can help by following this link and signing the petition.

https://www.change.org/de/Petitionen/fellhornbahn-oberstdorf-keine-schlie%C3%9Fung-des-fun-parks-am-fellhorn#share

Karma to everyone who signed. Thanks for your help NS!

Here a few edits from the park. I think they made it to the frontpage a while ago.

They say they need to upgrade the existing park by building a new parkbase and a special park-lift. They mentioned moving terrain to have a better kickerline but this isnt doable because the area is a sanctuary. They dont have money to upgrade the park and they cant move earth up there so they think the park isnt profitable any longer. They want to shut down the Easypark and the Mainpark and build a Funslope instead. Funslopes suck! Search for "Funslope Serfaus" and see for yourself.

Any help is appreciated! Discussion with the resort is still on!

Oh shit, a funslope! I get why resorts want them, they're great for kids and families, but the park is the natural next step after the funslope, and so is as, if not more, important as the funslope. Let's hope this doesn't turn into a trend in Germany/Austria.

Damn, these "funslopes" are probably the most gaper thing I've ever fucking seen

is it seriously made up entirely of a bunch of gimmicky things like tunnels and banked turns?

Signed... Good luck.

As stated above fun slopes are directed towards small kids and families. Small kids that get hooked on skiing turn into paying adults with their own family. It's a good way to generate revenue and keep kids out of terrain parks.

They're not, they're a great way to keep families and young children who can't ski very well out of the park, and they're a great stepping stone for kids and everyone else that wants to get into riding park, but not yet have the skills.

The problem arises when the resort fails to comprehend that a funslope and a snowpark are linked together, as one is the natural continuation of the other. To only focus on a funslope is bad business, as the people that start out on the funslope will want a snowpark once they get better. And when you don't have one, or the one you have is shit, those people will go somewhere else, and you have just lost yourself business with arguably the key demographic of a ski resort. Stupid move.

Btw, I did in fact sign up to get emails from Change.org and as a result have signed several petitions for random things that are somehow making the world a better place. But, I don't know how to stop receiving them.

Same thing happend to me. Haha. I am still getting them but my email-programm now dumps them automatically in the spam folder.

Also good job guys! Fellhorn confirmed to keep at least the Easy-Park alive. Thats something.
Discussion about the future of the main-park is still on as far as i know.
