Industry ride suppliers Leisure Labs has announced its latest project, the world’s largest transportable giant wheel, in Place de la Concorde in Paris.
The big wheel – la grande roue – is the star of the Champs-Elysées Christmas market, attracting around 300,000 passengers. The festive market and big wheel are owned and operated by France’s so-called “king of funfair”, Marcel Campion.
The attraction is an upgrade from the previous wheel, a 50m-tall (164ft) ride that has been popular with tourists in the busy public square since 2000. The new installation, which offers panoramic views featuring some of the city's most famous landmarks, is a 48-pod, 70m-tall (230ft) wheel made by Mondial World of Rides.
“We find it very heartening this great showman has again entrusted Mondial to provide him such a legacy attraction,” said Mondial owner Froukje Knijpstra.
Sarasota, Florida-based Leisure Labs is the sales and marketing representative for Mondial World of Rides.
