The Wurstelprater in Vienna opened its doors on Sunday afternoon, but visitors had to stay outside. Because officially the amusement park is “closed due to Corona”.
Attractions are “crown-fit”
Distance marks have been attached to attractions, for example, so that the minimum distance can be accurately observed. In the future, seats at attractions will also be assigned to visitors in such a way that there is enough space for neighbors. Employees wear gloves and mouth protection, disinfection dispensers are ready, and systems are disinfected regularly.
Showmen are eager to unlock their businesses again. Because the Wiener Wurstelprater loses its strongest season in the Corona crisis. But the amusement park, one of the most important places in Vienna with more than five million visitors a year, is caught in bureaucratic confusion.
Request for the fast opening of the Prater
According to the Vienna Events Act, the Wurstelprater is one of the “burlesque public entertainments”. The Vienna State Law makes the Prater an event for the Ministry of Health, so it should not open until September 1. Operators at numerous attractions see it differently.
“The MA 36 responsible for business premises and events believes that the Wurstelprater in state law is not an event within the meaning of the Epidemic Law. We ask responsible federal ministers to work together on a solution that will start the business in the Wurstelprater in Within the scope of the epidemic law until mid-May, “says a request by the president of the Prater Association, Stefan Sittler-Koidl and Katja Kolnhofer (” Extasy “,” Geisterschloss “) in” mein.aufstehn.at ” .
According to the petition, the fate of numerous Prater attractions and more than 1,000 jobs will depend on the opening on May 15, along with Prater restaurants such as the “Schweizerhaus” (reported “Today”).
