I made this video last week. Due to circumstances I don't feel like appearing in front of my camera and do an intro. Sorry. Next time I will do an intro again.

Do watch this in High Quality !!


Intro:
That day was the opening of the built extension to the subway U-2 in Vienna, Austria. This extension runs from Schottenring to Praterstern and Stadion. Due to this opening there were various events held along this route and the rides were free of charge.

The Wiener Prater is a large public and amusement park in Vienna, which includes one of the earliest ferris wheels (1897) erected to celebrate Emperor Franz Josef I's golden Jubilee. It famously appeared in various films like The Third Man, The Living Daylights and Before Sunrise.

The Ernst Happel Stadium was known as the Prater Stadium (Praterstadion) prior to 1992, but was renamed in honour of Ernst Happel following his death in 1992. It will host the Euro 2008 final on 29 June. It is the largest football stadium in Austria and home of the Austrian national football team.
