Vienna Recordia 2010 – Day of World Records

It’s records time again! On the 26th September 2010 at the Vienna Prater, the oldest amusement park in the world- the major international world record event, named Vienna Recordia, takes place the fifth time. Come to the Prater and be part of it!

This day of superlatives promises spectacular record attempts, to participate in as well as to marvel at! From the attempt to collect the milk of a coconut with the bare hands to the trial to destroy as many baseball bats as possible with one hand – last year again several record attempts managed to gain an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.

With more than 10,000 enthusiastic visitors the event was a great success. Here are some impressions of the last years of the Vienna Recordia:
