The ride experience on Musik Express – Krause
On the Musik Express, the gondolas follow a wavy circular track close behind one another. As the speed increases, you feel the curves push you outwards. The regular ups and downs combine with music to create a shared ride. The seats remain facing the direction of travel; the movement comes from the circular track. That is what makes this classic so easy to recognise. Friends sit side by side and experience the same bumps. From the edge, you can already see how the speed affects the behaviour of the other riders.

Tips for your visit
Seating arrangements matter on a waltzer. Ask the staff who should sit on the inside and who on the outside, especially if children are riding. Fares and participation conditions are set or displayed at each engagement. Before buying a ticket, ask about minimum height, age and whether an accompanying person is required. Follow the boarding instructions and stow loose items as directed by the team.
