When I Look At The World

archiemcphee:

While this might look like a roller coaster, Tiger and Turtle is actually a walkable sculpture designed by Heike Mutter und Ulrich Genth and recently installed in Duisberg, Germany. 

Mutter and Genth describe their creation thusly: “The roller coaster stands for acceleration and high speed of a tiger but the visitor has to explore it step by step like a turtle.”

40 visitors at a time may explore Tiger and Turtle while enjoying the views from 85 meters (nearly 280 ft) over the Ruhr region via 249 steps.

We’re sorry to report that the loops are inaccessible (unless you’re exceptionally skilled at Sonic the Hedgehog).
