Dear journalists,
Semi-final! Just two more wins and we’ll be world champions. The euphoria in Wunderland is already unstoppable. Our 215,000 mini-inhabitants have been celebrating the World Cup extensively in all eight of our worlds for weeks now. Motorcades full of German fans are flocking to the terminal at Knuffingen Airport and thousands of little Preisers are euphorically celebrating the team’s progress to the semi-finals at a number of fan festivals. Or a shepherd watching soccer with his animals on a mountain pasture, miners sitting underground in front of the tube, surfers racing through the sea with a black, red and gold sail or the Hermann monument wrapped in what is probably the longest fan scarf in the world. Our model makers have created a number of small scenes for the World Cup and will continue to do so every day until the end. The World Cup has also arrived on the rails. Our World Cup train, originally with 32 wagons, is currently still making its rounds through Wonderland with the remaining 8 until the end of the quarter-finals. The 24 wagons that have been eliminated are all already on the side track.
The Supermüller, Miniatur Wunderland’s new superhero, who kicked us into the round of 16 in the preliminary round, can also be found everywhere in our park. He stops an American Amtrak with one hand, puts out fires and takes on biting sharks. We made a two-and-a-half-minute tribute to him in the form of an elaborate stop-motion video. Since its release, the clip has spread rapidly online. Over a quarter of a million people have already watched the video on YouTube. The perfect video to reflect on the quarter-final victory. Why not take two minutes to watch this funny clip about the supermüller and share it with your friends?
For all North German journalists: You are more than welcome to view and photograph the scenes on site. We would be delighted to welcome you to Miniatur Wunderland over the next few days and experience the World Cup fever together. If you can’t / don’t want to come to Wunderland, we have many photos available for download in our press area.
To the semi-final, a glittering night of victory and two more wins,
Frederik Braun
