Walkable Roller Coaster in Germany

• Since November 13, the new large-scale sculpture dubbed “Tiger and Turtle - Magic Mountain" was opened in Duisburg, Germany, after a year of construction.
• The sculpture, which has a 220-meter track and is made of zinc-plated steel and grates, gives tourists an impressive view over the Rhine, according to German artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth.
• LED lights are integrated in the handrails and highlight the flight of stairs so the sculpture is accessible at night, they added.
• "Visitors can climb on the curved sculpture and walk around, taking in the surrounding views from the spiral walkways - but not at the breakneck speed usually associated with roller coasters," it said.
• On the other hand, tech site Gizmodo noted the sculpture was built at a cost of $2.7 million.
