Stationed in Duisburg, Germany, the "Tiger and Turtle – Magic Mountain" sculpture allows you to savor the ride at your own pace. The artist's usage of tin, zinc and steel symbolize the early industrial use of the Duisburg area. Almost 120 tons of galvanized steel were used to make the "Tiger and Turtle – Magic Mountain" sculpture. It is supported by 17 posts which hold the 249 steps that line the walkways that hold the LED lights that were placed to illuminate the handrails at night.
