Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen According to the Wiener Netze spokeswoman, it was a "rather minor power outage". Only the rides in the Wiener Prater were affected.
The Wiener Prater cited "safety reasons" as to why the rides were not running, but it would theoretically have been possible to continue.
Possibly a transformer failed
The surrounding residential area in Vienna-Leopoldstadt was spared from the power outage. The cause is still under investigation, but it is "assumed that a transformer failed".
As confirmed by the press spokeswoman of the Vienna Prater, operations could be resumed after one hour. The Vienna professional fire department reported to the "Krone" that no evacuations from rides were necessary.
