Prater Turm, Swing ride in Prater district, Vienna, Austria
The Prater Turm extends 117 meters into the sky, making it one of the highest swing rides in Europe, offering views across Vienna's skyline.
The swing ride opened its doors on May 1, 2010, adding a modern element to the centuries-old Prater amusement park, formerly imperial hunting grounds.
The Prater Turm represents the evolution of Viennese entertainment, combining traditional fairground elements with contemporary engineering in the historic amusement district.
Visitors can access the ride throughout the year, with height restrictions requiring children to be at least 10 years old to participate.
The rotating mechanism lifts riders to an elevation matching a 40-story building, creating a fusion of vertical thrills and circular motion.
