Hubseilturm, Drop tower in Bayern-Park, Reisbach, Germany.
The Hubseilturm is an eight-meter-high tower in Bayern-Park where visitors pull themselves upward using their own strength through a pulley system. Four seats let two people at a time work together to make this manual climb.
The tower was built in the early 2020s at Bayern-Park as part of a new wave of physically interactive rides. It reflects a shift toward attractions where visitors must actively participate rather than be passively entertained.
The tower features traditional Bavarian white and blue colors, reflecting the regional identity of Bayern-Park and its connection to local architectural elements.
Participants must be between 100 and 210 centimeters tall, with a minimum age of four years and participation possible up to age 99. Those with reasonable fitness and no fear of heights can enjoy this experience to the fullest.
What makes this special is that visitors must use their own muscle power to pull themselves upward before descending in a controlled way. This turns it into a physically demanding experience where the sense of achievement feels particularly real.
