Welcome to Vienna’s Prater, where the ultimate new hit for adrenaline fans has been waiting since 2020: the Rollerball! This modern elevated ride is no ordinary attraction — it is a real highlight for the whole family. With its gondolas hanging sideways from the rails, it offers a completely new and surprising ride experience unlike anything you have felt before. Whether with children, as a couple or with your whole group of friends: here, an ordinary Prater visit turns into an unforgettable adventure with a true wow effect!
Just imagine: you are sitting comfortably in the stylish, side-mounted gondolas. Slowly and almost majestically, the ride takes you straight upwards — to a height of approx. 25 metres. Once at the top, the ride pauses briefly … and you enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view over the entire Prater! The lights, the Giant Ferris Wheel, the whole colourful world below you — a moment to breathe deeply and marvel. But then it begins: with momentum, you rush downhill in a zigzag, combined with brief free-fall moments, wild swinging movements and the special thrill of sometimes moving forwards and sometimes backwards. The gondolas rotate sideways, creating a free and almost weightless feeling — laughter, screams and pure excitement are guaranteed! The ride lasts around 1 minute and 40 seconds and is perfectly measured: thrilling enough for an adrenaline kick, yet family-friendly enough for everyone to join in.
What makes the Rollerball so special? Its innovative 4th-dimension technology! Thanks to the side-hanging gondolas, you experience the track from a completely new perspective — sometimes floating sideways above the track, sometimes swinging freely through the air. It is this mix of ascent, panoramic pause and dynamic downhill rush that makes the Rollerball one of the most exciting new attractions in the Prater. No rigid rail feeling, but pure freedom of movement and plenty of surprises. Perfect for anyone who wants to try something different from the classics while still enjoying that typical Prater fun.
The Rollerball is a true family highlight: whether with children aged 6–10 or 10–14, with teenagers or with the young at heart — everyone shares the same thrill and the same magnificent view. It is loud, colourful, lively and brings generations together. After the ride, faces are flushed, eyes are shining and the first words are usually: “Again!”
After the ride, the next highlight awaits: capture the moment with our action photos! The best moments — the amazed look from above, the big laugh during the free fall or the shared cheering in the gondola — are professionally captured. A wonderful souvenir that will remind you of this unforgettable Prater moment for a long time to come.
The Rollerball is more than just a ride — it is the perfect mix of modern design, thrill and Prater feeling. Whether in bright sunshine or in the evening, when the lights of the attraction shine especially beautifully: this is where memories are made and shared with family or friends.
