| | Yeah it looks kind of weird! Pax is a strange company, with strange ideas! Just look at their 'chain-thing-powertower' in Wiener Prater! Their Russian for something

I have been to wiener prater... and the only "tower" i saw was the S&S one thats next to the boomerang. they do have the starflyer ride (thats on a tower) but thats FunTime. and then the "2 towers" of the slingshot.. that are next to the starflyer.
what ride were you talking about?

| | | and you Rlr.. dont spam by saying "dont do that" without any help to the topic :-P
so.. yeah its FunTIme.. but maybe pax made the tower itself? because on paxs site it says they make radio towers.. so they may have helpped?

| | | Wow, that must get horrible ride time (people per hour-however you say it). There's like 12 people at a time.
Anywho, that ride goes that high and only those little lap bars. That is insane!

| | | It Probably gives you a "Omg, this is my last ride, LET ME DOWN!!" kind of feeling because of the little slide up and down lapbars.
