A German theme park quickly shut down a new ride -- not due to safety reasons, but because critics said it resembled "flying swastikas."
The "Eagle Fly" ride at Tatzmania, an amusement park in Löffingen, a city roughly 60 miles northwest of Zurich, Switzerland, was widely criticized after a video of it in motion reportedly circulated online.
Spinning in the air while ridegoers are strapped into a harness, the ride appears to look like two large swastikas.

A spokesperson for Tatzmania told Euronews that nobody was aware of what the ride resembled until video of it was released.
"First of all, I would like to emphasize that I would like to apologize with all form to all persons who feel disturbed and insulted by our design," park owner Rüdiger Braun told the European Broadcasting Union.



Braun said the ride, which only opened in July, will face a slight redesign — each arm of the "Eagle Fly" will have three eagles, not four.

First off. I still can’t stop laughing at the fact that this happened in Germany. I probably shouldn’t laugh. But seriously ?!

Second. That’s the oddest design and animal choice I have ever seen for that type of ride. It looks terrifying, and not because of the pseudo-swastikas.

They did this on porpoises and will now be losing money and have to sell the ride to the US for $1.....the US will gladly accept the “offer” and it will become the new “trendy” ride

German engineering is so advanced because they can't make simple 90 degree angles or swastikas might appear. That ride will have to be taken down and put back up with some sort of curved arm instead of the simple right angle.

No, I think it was a mistake and people are being too sensitive.

But I can understand why the theme park would take it down once they noticed.
Fuck outta here.

I bet that thing wasn't cheap. U telling me they built it without ever drawing a picture of it or having technical drawings?

Some cunt designed that as a joke and them some idiot diddnt look closely enough and had it built and paid for it
