1996-05-11 Michael Jackson's roller coaster in Germany 1996 (Phantasialand)
On 11th May 1996, a few days after performing "Earth Song" at the World Music Awards 1996 in Monaco, Michael Jackson went to Germany to inaugurate a new roller coaster in the "Phantasialand" amusement park in Brühl, near Cologne. Michael apparently had some input in the creation of the roller coaster (see 11:08), so it was called "The Michael Jackson Thrill Ride".

1996-07-16 Michael Jackson's 1st Brunei Concert July 1996 (news clips)
On 16th July 1996 Michael Jackson warmed up for the upcoming HIStory Tour, by playing a one-off concert in Brunei to celebrate the 50th birthday of the Sultan of Brunei, Sir Hassanai Bokiah - back then the world’s richest man. He spent 15 million USD for Michael to perform. The concert was basically a Dangerous Tour style concert with the same songs and costumes, plus "You Are Not Alone" and "Earth Song" added. The concert took place inside the Sultan’s Jerudong Park Garden, a Disney-style theme park where admission and all the rides were free. Admission to the concert was free as well, and around 60,000 fans packed into the park to attend the two hour show.

A bit more complete transcript of Michael's speech in Sun City (thanks to @deservemjj at Facebook): Michael Jackson: "We are behaving like people without compassion and love for the most vulnerable section of society. The children of the universe are without a spokesperson, they are voiceless. We are all touched by the atrocities committed against children: sexual, physical abuse, child slave labor, educational neglect. We feel ashamed, Angry, Appalled. But there is no action No action.", Michael declares. At the press conference also, he gives an emotional discourse to the people of South Africa: “First, I would like to say, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, you have no idea how happy and honored I am to be here in South Africa. The people here have been so kind to me their love, their generosity, the hospitality has been overwhelming. I mean, I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart, ‘cause I really mean it. And I’m not wearing these glasses to be Mr. Cool, I wear these glasses because they are a facade, so you won’t have to see my tears ... [voice choking with emotions] ... I’m so happy to be here and you all have been so wonderful to me and I want to thank you so much and I thank you for coming to Sun City. I would like to take this opportunity to thank president Nelson Mandela and the wonderful people of South Africa for this gracious, really gracious welcome to your wonderful country. I just love it. I love it so much, I’m looking for a house to buy here [laughs]… I would like to thank the wonderful wonderful (inaudible) and the staff and its hospitality and hosting this conference. And I’m sorry I was not able to play South Africa dates previously, because I was so much looking forward to coming here. But now I am really excited about bringing the HIStory Tour – a brand new show, the HIStory Tour to South Africa. We are in negotiations right now, with promoters now and, but we’re playing South Africa in mid January 1997, in Capetown, in Durban and Johannesburg. My promoter, Mr. Marcel Avram is here today to announce additional dates and answer any questions you may have regarding the HIStory World Tour. I love you from the bottom of my heart and I thank you so much for your wonderful wonderful opportunity. Thank you.”
