So the day I met Emma….I thought she would get a kick outta the Prater Fairgrounds in Vienna. How might I explain the atmosphere of this place….
A retro, sinister, cheesy, and tacky midway which is open all the time. It is reminiscent of a zombie movie in the 1970s….or Buffy the Vampire Slayer Circa 1992:
loved this movie
There are inexplicable things at the Prater…..along with the classic fair atmosphere. It is these inexplicable things that give the prater so much CHARACTER!
Here are some EXPLICABLE flix….just a great atmosphere:
Nothin says fairground without a HOLE pic 
bringing out the innerchild
just a little beer garden before rides
beauty
our excitement for going on rides!
stopping for cotton candy
here we go!!
loves it
BUT I WANNA GO ON THAT ONE!
THE CLOWN LOOP DE LOOP!
Ok so these seem like normal fairground occurances….but then you run into the statues, and the weird “it’s a small world rides,” which don’t really make sense at all! However, they are still enjoyable in some strange way – why? It’s the fact that they exist at all. I mean WHAT WHERE THEY THINKING? It seems to be that whomever created such masterpieces must have been on some sort of hallucigents, or possibly had a little more than one voice in their mind. EITHER WAY! I thought it was amazing….definately remiscent of Rob Zombie’s House of 1000s corpses for some reason…
one of the more innocent ones..
ummmm?
a close up of the madness!
yea i'm down with it
and again!
To make sense of this madness – we thought we would check out the warped it’s a small world ride. Which had these disgustingly horribly beautiful dolls on display in the front:
Display in front of the ride!
The first car of the ride was headed by a blue smurf – YES THE BLUE SMURF WOULD LEAD US TO CLARITY!
boarded on our smurf car!
the smurf lead the way!
Once on the ride – things were still unclear. Was it a collaboration of all fairytales? or reject fairytales gone bad? Or was it the result of what fairytales would be like if they were for a grown ups audience that happen to be on some sort of drugs? or was it FAIRY TALES FROM HELL?!
you decide…
little red riding hood?
the three little pigs minus that last brick house?
merlin?
queen elizabeth? & joker?
but of course!
I took some footage too because this ride was just tooooo classic!!
I LOVE IT!
I want to go to Prater like every weekend naturally. Its my fav thing to do in Vienna!
