During the last lockdown, some creative ideas and, above all, technical innovations were actively implemented. Now the two attractions are ready to open their doors again with renewed vigour, and to warmly welcome guests!
New station at Time Travel: “Painting in Vienna” – Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka
The anteroom of the waltz hall was redesigned on the theme of “Viennese Modernism” with the main actors Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. Take a look at the artists’ studios and learn more about the careers of the painters and their creative work. Ernst Fuchs, Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Gottfried Helnwein are also discussed. Take your personal souvenir photo in the studio with life-size figures by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. The new station offers four different photo points.
New panorama: “Vienna by night” in the Time Travel carriage ride room
A great panoramic picture of Vienna, on which the most important sights of Vienna such as St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Ferris wheel and the Danube Tower are easily recognizable, was photographed with perfect clarity and a wall print was produced that now adorns the rear wall of the carriage ride room.
Photopoint with a new life-size figure by Hans Moser – “Hello Dienstmann”
Time Travel has grown. Professor Gerlinde Stelzer has lovingly handcrafted a new life-size figure of the legendary Hans Moser in the role of the servant from the film “Hallo Dienstmann” with Paul Hörbiger and Hans Moser. He is ready for a snapshot with his guests!
