This Rollercoaster's A Walk In The Park...

This is the rollercoaster to go on when you feel like a stroll in the park with a view and you're not scared of heights.
The Tiger and Turtle Rollercoaster at Magic Mountain is a walkable sculpture designed by German art duo Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth.
The sixty nine foot tall sculpture is at Wanheim Duisburg in Germany.
A long way to go for a walk in the park perhaps...

    wow - The Tiger & Turtle monument is situated on an artificial hill - also called Magic Mountain -
    comprising toxic zinc dross (? heavy metal)
    A dung hill changed into gold!

    Up to seven protective covers are installed to avoid contamination.
    Our son’s girl friend is living in Duisburg and much to his regret he can’t do the looping ;-)
