On Wednesday, June 4, 2025. The night before our departure to Berlin, my sister, my German partner, and I all went to a walking roller coaster in Duisburg, Germany called tigers and Turtle. It is 21 – meters tall, with each twist and turn intended to express the dynamic interplay of a tiger and a turtle. To some, it is even the slowest roller coaster in the world however, the speed of the coaster is solely determined on the rider. The coaster gave a gorgeous overview of the city in Duisburg. Weather permitting, it is possible to see from Duisburg city center along the Rhine as far as Duesseldorf. Sometimes being able to see as far as the airport control tower. You could see dense forests left untouched, and steelworks. You could see the busyness of the areas around making it for a peaceful experience. The landmark was created by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth and includes 800 LED lights to allow for the sculpture to be open day and night. At peak interests, it looks best at night with the lights allowing to see the twists and turns of the coaster.
