From Wiki:

The Wiener Riesenrad (German: [ˈviːnɐ ˈʁiːzn̩ˌʁaːd]; 'Vienna Giant [Ferris] Wheel'), or simply Riesenrad, is a 64.75-metre (212 ft) tall Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd district of Austria's capital Vienna. It is one of Vienna's most popular tourist attractions, and symbolises the district as well as the city for many people. Constructed in 1897, it was the world's tallest extant Ferris wheel from 1920 until 1985.

I’ve never had a photograph trigger my irrational fear of heights until now.

I'm such an easy target. People bouldering indoors already make me feel nauseous.

Where in the hell is this old Ferris wheel that it looks that far down on the new one!?

Great photo by the way.

They're on the same ground actually, not a hill or anything. I just took the pic on the very top of the ride.

Thank you very much
