Top 30 Rides at Wiener Prater | Coasters, Crazy Flats, & Dark Rides!

[@aPAChe0911]

its a really cool vid great job! really like it. some rides to mention. the funtime sling shot, sombrero and unfortunately it seems you missed 'Spectacolo'. Its unspectacular from the outside. A big clownhead - looks like a kiddy-ride. *spoiler comming* a certain scary ride. But its an indoor tilting-bungee-tower with flashing lights.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I had to double check that wasn't an April Fool's prank. Dang, I'm bummed I missed that!

Why is there a scary girl behind two woman at 6.53 and not before? This actually looks terrifying

Swinging ships are the only ride that make me sick.

[@micoasters]

4:26 the tidal twist at the Columbus zoo also allows solo rides. So it had great spinning, that final brake hits so hard that the parks warns you about it. I had a bruise for awhile due to that brake

The older booster mentioned in the video was the newer one. The Kingsize Booster is my favorite. I drove it 18 times. I also like the speed wave. drove 3 times. However, this year 2022 the Olympia Looping will be built there for the third time. I've also ridden the freefall tower 18 times. now in winter it was really a great experience. I'm looking forward to the new season.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Olympia Looping will be nice there. I rode it at Oktoberfest a few years ago.

[@jackiewulf9355]

@@CanobieCoaster I drove the Olympia Looping already 4x times. The first time when he was brand new. It must be the year 89 at the munich Oktoberfest.

The King even beats the Black Mamba. It has also a better airtime.

2:55 - Super-8er-Bahn: Unfortunately, it is no longer available. It was dismantled in March 2023. It might be up to a year before a new roller coaster will be installed and I don't know exactly what will follow.

I'm not a big fan of Slingshot rides. They look better than they ride for me.

[@TerminatorCFC]

Thank you

[@idansheffer56]

Fan fact about the Boomerang(number 21): All the coaster of this model offers some of the highest positive G in the world! However I find them painful, uncomfortable, too intense, causing me to feel sick, not interesting, and the reverse prevent running them with more than one train-causing very long waiting. I rode the Kingda Ka and many other coasters which are way more thrilling, but boomerangs cause me to regret every time I try them. *One of the only two coaster in Israel is a Boomerang. The other is a newer(2001) SLC which is surprisingly smooth and fun

[@CanobieCoaster]

Boomerangs are definitely intense.

[@gemmachaos]

Interesting you should say the SLC in Israel runs well. The SLC in Egypt is supposed to be smooth-ish, as well, if El Toro Ryan is to be believed. I wonder if they run better in desert climates?

[@Schatzipuffi]

Don‘t forget to visit the restaurant „Schweizerhaus“ in the back of the Prater. There you get the best austrian specialties like „knuckle of pork“, „Wiener Schnitzel“ (veal and expensive), „Schnitzel Wiener Art“ (Pork and cheap), Langos, Kaiserschmarrn, Germknödel and so on. If you are hungry order all. It´ s much aber very tasty. Mmmmhhhh ….. See you in Vienna. P.S. The Prater is not pronounced like “Praeter” … but like Pruter ... The "a" is pronounced like an "u" … such as luck. .-.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks for the tips.

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

How many rides are at Wiener Prater? Normally you do top 15’s but this time you did a top 30.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Probably close to 100 with kiddie rides included.

[@micoasters]

Mega blitz is very similar, the same model as the knightmare from boblo island now hornet at wonderland

[@CanobieCoaster]

Megablitz has far more power than Hornet though. Trains are the same though.

The Funtime tower is only 80 meters high. They lie about the height. Funtime delivers those traveling droptowers with a max of 80 meters. (This droptower was formerly travelling in The Netherlands).

[@CanobieCoaster]

Good to know, thanks!

[@3Davmawey]

I guess walkthroughs are not considered as rides thus they weren't included? Because I recall the Prater having two AMAZING ones!

@@CanobieCoaster Too bad. I highly recommend you go check out POVs of the Blue Planet and Jack the Ripper ones. The theming is out of this world - especially for a carnival park :O I had an amazing time on both!

Great vid, but your Iceberg footage with what I assume to be Halloween actors was misleading .. since it’s a kids ride.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That's fair, but I couldn't find any other copyright free footage.

[@upsidedown_]

So sad this park has no ride all day wristband, paying for all the coaster credits will be frustrating after a while tbh, I prefer paying one time and not to be constantly reminded off money... it does looks like fun and what coasters aren't you allowed on?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I agree the lack of a wristband was frustrating. I had to save a large chunk of my Euros for this park. Auto Bergbahn is the only coaster adults cannot ride.

[@upsidedown_]

@@CanobieCoaster okay thanks! And yes it also sound frustrating... that"s one of the reasons I almost never real fairgrounds...

[@ElectriKong-]

Most European fairs lack a pay-one-price wristband because the rides are operated by different showmen who are independent from one-another. While that can be a problem for riders who may be unable to do as many rides as they want to because it would get too expensive, it does result in better and longer cycles because the showmen have to compete with other showmen for riders.

[@gemmachaos]

I don't do flats, I don't have the stomach for it. But I ended up riding 20 rides at the Prater. I'd probably rank them something like this. Sadly, the best thing I rode there was a visiting travelling ride, but it was pretty close anyway. Nothing I found was truly world-class but, on the flip side, only two of the rides were truly awful. I shudder to think how much this all cost me. 1 Olympia Looping 2 Gesengte Sau 3 Grottenbahn 4 Urgewald der Giganten 5 Hochschaubahn 6 Wildalpenbahn 7 Riesenrad 8 Megablitz 9 Super Achterbahn 10 Roller Ball 11 Aquagaudi 12 Eisberg 13 Boomerang 14 Dizzy Mouse 15 Insider 16 Maskerade 17 Race 18 Zug des Manitu 19 Wilde Maus 20 Volare

Achterbahn is rollercoaster in German. Acht also means eight. so 8erbahn is a pun.

Thanks for explaining. That was lost as an English speaker.

[@DaanBruins]

@@CanobieCoaster Yeah, being Dutch (quite similar to German), I know a bit of German and you can make this pun in Dutch too (achtbaan=rollercoaster). Achterbahn or achtbaan means 'eight-track/run', which refers to the layout of early coasters often being a figure-eight.
