In Duisburg, Germany, there is an unusual structure called Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain. It looks for all the world like a roller coaster, but it’s actually stairs, and it’s considered a sculpture. You can climb on all parts of it except the inverted portion of the loop, for obvious reasons.
We never did figure out why they named it Tiger & Turtle.
Have you ever been to Tiger & Turtle? Why do you think it was given that name?
The name is a reference to the dynamic of a tiger and the slowness of a turtle.
The sculpture is the dynamic part and the visitors are the turtles.
Regards,
turtle

The “operating instructions” destroy all the fun. But then again, maybe that’s where society is heading. Organized fun. Freaky, crazy, cool … but keep to the rules. If you don’t … Danger Everywhere.

Give some of the operating instructions, I think this place is on top of a fully-functional secret lair. It’s a big metal thing that acts a power source and a distraction from what’s really underneath? Or maybe I read too many comic books? 😛 These are very neat, kinda surreal photos.
