St. Matthew's Pilgrimage begins in Prague

The carousel seats were barely filled. “Buy a ticket, we're going, we're starting!” The sound system hummed into the audience's heads as to what the pilgrimage had to offer.

“First, let's see what they have here, then we'll choose something,” said Roman Kopecky, a young visitor. “We are very impressed with the high carousel there,” he said, pointing to the tallest attraction in the amusement park, which, according to the operator's data, reached a height of 80 meters and provided a rotating speed of 70 kilometers per hour. . “Well, I'll have to shoot the rose. That'll be it,” Roman smiled, looking at the young woman with him.

Prices for tourist attractions have not changed much compared to last year. Small slots were 60 to 80 crowns, older children or adults were about a hundred crowns, and the carousel mentioned in the high tower was for 160 crowns. A three-minute drive by car on a classic autodrome costs 120 crowns for a crew of two, five shots at a shooting range cost a hundred.

“We were satisfied with the prices, maybe they didn't go up too much, we expected it to be too bad,” said Sykor parents, who came from Nebomuk in the Pilsen region with their two older children. “But I am disappointed by the attractive offers. We came here last five years ago and it was an attraction. It seems very empty to me now,” said the father of the family.
