From afar, it looks like a forgotten relic of a theme park that has since picked up and moved on – but it’s actually a walkable sculpture. ‘Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain‘, as it’s named, rises on a dirt hill above the city of Duisburg, Germany, promising a strange adventure to those who approach.
As you come closer, you’ll see that there’s a portion of this looping, curving stairway that seems to go upside-down, just as a real roller coaster would. Unfortunately, that’s part of the ‘magic’.
Architects Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth explain, “Having a closer look, the public is disappointed in a disarming way. The visitor climbs on foot via differently steep steps the roller-coaster-sculpture. So the sculpture subtly and ironically plays with the dialectic of promise and disappointment, mobility and standstill.”
LED lights were integrated into the handrails so that the sculpture is not only accessible at night, but acts as a landmark, visible for miles. It was built on the site of a toxic zinc-slag pit left over from a local zinc operation that was cleaned up and made fit for public use.
Buenos Aires becomes a fantasy urban playground in this fun video by Black Sheep Films, featuring roller coasters with no tracks that zoom through the city.

If this winding, looping roller coaster looks out of place in the picturesque German countryside, it may be because not everything is as it seems.

If Adam Carolla, Larry Miller, and Lenny Clarke were men of the cloth, even god might get piss drunk. Comics get biblical in the middle of the world’s most god forsaken joke.

A demonstration of how the GPS interface works and what to expect. The built-in GPS interface requires the GPS receiver to be set to protocol NEMA IN NEMA OUT. It may require you to purchase two cables. The serial cable for your GPS and the GPS cable for your Camera. The Nikon MC-35 has a male 9 pin serial interface. The company I mention at the end of the video is JOBO.
