Germany stands a “walkable roller coaster” that invites visitors to go around its towering, spiraling curves not in breakneck speeds of the real thing, but only as fast as they choose their own feet to take them which named ‘Tiger and Turtle – Magic Mountain'. This 20-meter structure was formed to be the focal point for the Ruhr region, standing on top of a mining waste tip at the Heinrich-Hildebrand-Height of Angerpark, 85 metres above sea level.
Ulrich Genth and Heike Mutter has made this whimsical sculpture of 249 steps is made entirely of tin, zinc and steel. The winding walkway measures in total 220 meters long, a project costing two million euros. LED lights fitted into the handrails illuminate the structure at night. So problem to walk at night.
