Marty and Doug wanted to ride the Vienna ferris wheel. But this isn't just any ferris wheel; it's the ferris wheel that was in the 1946 movie, The Third Man. The movie is based on a Somerset Maughm book, and features Orson Welles as the shadowy "third man" who was profiteering from the neediness of the Viennese people World War II.
After the heavy bombing of the city during the war, city officials rebuilt the ferris wheel quickly as a way to bolster morale. The movie used the ferris wheel to assist with the process.
If you are so inclined, you can have a candlelight dinner on the ferris wheel. It's a unique ferris wheel and provides a great view of the city.
