I wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel as it's the oldest ferris wheel in Europe. I enjoyed it but it doesn't last very long and was a cloudy day so you couldn't see everything very clearly. Would still recommend it just for the experience

The Wheel itself worked perfectly, Short queue, no issues with tickets or boarding. The overall experience was underwhelming. The Amusement Park was looking very shabby/dirty and most of the other rides were not functioning. The view from the wheel itelf was not very good.

The preferential entrance is only in the ticket purchase queue, i.e. you have already bought the ticket and you don't get in the purchase queue, then you get in the queue with all the people who have bought the normal ticket to get on the cable car.

Your Experience

Enjoy a ride on the historic Giant Ferris Wheel of the Austrian capital and a symbol of the world-famous Wiener Prater. A must-see attraction in the city, it allows you to soak up breathtaking views of the entire city and its most popular landmarks. The ride lasts 10 to 20 minutes during which you’ll experience spectacular views of the Vienna Woods hills, the picturesque River Danube, the Marchfeld, and the Pannonian Basin. You can even explore the restaurant, Fotoshop, and Souveniershop on your own.

The Giant Ferris Wheel offers more than a traditional Ferris wheel cart ride. The newly constructed The Wheel of Time – shown through the ‘Panorama’ installation – revives much-loved Prater traditions with artistic and technical audio-visual elements in eight cabins. Taking on two thousand years of the city’s history and stories about the Prater, discover the city in an extremely unique manner – high above the ground (64.75-meters to be exact) on this quintessential Ferris Wheel.
