The amusement rides of the Popp family are among the last individually designed entertainment facilities in Vienna's Prater. One of the distinctive features of the Wiener Prater, the oldest amusement park in the world, is undoubtedly its history and, in particular, the sense of tradition upheld by some entrepreneurial families who have shaped the Prater over many generations, making it unique in the international comparison.

The Popp family, formerly known as the Reinprecht family in earlier generations, has been present in the Prater since 1894. What began with live horses in the late 19th century is now dedicated primarily to the youngest visitors of the Prater, children aged between two and ten years old. After the destruction during World War II, the grandfather of the current owner gradually rebuilt their businesses: in 1949, the small cars were installed, followed by the motorboats in 1958, the train in 1961, and the airplanes in 1963.
