This year the 50th anniversary of the death of the famous composer Robert Stolz, whose song "in Prater Blüh’n the trees" has become a symbol of the amusement park. On the occasion of this anniversary, a concert by the high and German champions will take place on the Robert Stolz monument on the Gabor-Steiner-Weg on June 27th. The Prater Association President also thanks the entrepreneurs to prepare numerous highlights in the amusement park, which will not be missing this season.

An exciting new highlight will be the "laser dance", an attraction that whirls passengers with gondolas at a breathtaking speed and 360-degree turns through the sky. In addition, the largest roller coaster in Austria, “Vienna Looping”, is opened in April, which is a must for adrenaline junkies. For families, “The Daemonium”, the largest mobile family ghost train in the world, is to be experienced in the sausage praternity until October 31. Furthermore, the "Wilde XXL swing" will swing up to 40 meters high and offer space for up to 20 people.
