Pure thrills: the new main attraction "Vienna Looping Rollercoaster" is set to cause a sensation from April. The Viennese can also look forward to a new scary experience.

The popular Wurstelprater is still in hibernation, but in just under a month's time it will be time again: the world's oldest amusement park will start its summer season. It has not escaped the attention of observant eyes that a lot has happened there over the winter months.

According to showman Stefan Sittler-Koidl, the new "Viennese Looping" in the Prater is set to be an "absolute sensation".

A roller coaster is currently being built here on an area of around 3000 square meters in accordance with international standards: the "Viennese Looping". Three seconds of weightlessness, steep descents and a maximum height of 31 meters will offer the Viennese a spectacular experience. Once at the top, you can then enjoy an impressive view over the Prater during a slow 180 degree turn. With a total track length of 518 meters, the ride will reach speeds of up to 81 km/h.

A new Prater attraction is under construction
Showman Stefan Sittler-Koidl is already delighted. The area of the Prater where the new roller coaster will be located is currently still somewhat less frequented. With the new attraction, the well-known Prater entrepreneur wants to attract more visitors again. A new neighborhood is to be created here, which could also benefit nearby locations. According to Sittler-Koidl, comparable attractions in other countries have brought in around 500,000 additional visitors per year. Opening: April 2025.

The cozy "Gösser Eck" restaurant is located next door. Owner Soufian Tabib is already in the starting blocks after a short winter break. The first highlight of this year's season is a herring feast on March 5. A year ago, the landlord opened his second restaurant "Das Beisl im Prater".

But something is also happening in another corner of the Prater. This year, the former site of the Super 8 ride will be home to a very special attraction: the "Dämonium" by German showman Martin Blume. "Experience horror in a completely new dimension and let yourself be frightened and terrified..." is the promising description of the modern high-tech spectacle. Four interconnected, freely rotating gondolas, effects and scary scenarios will ensure this. The plan is for the world's largest mobile ghost train on four levels to remain at the location until the end of October 2025.
