The World’s Fair Wheel was built in 1989 by the Dutch amusement engineers the Kroon family, who later founded the renowned ride fabrication company KMG.
The Kroon family travelled the Wheel for five years in the Netherlands and across the continent, as far as the former Yugoslavia, where it had to be quickly dismantled with the outbreak of war.
The Wheel was brought to the UK in 1994, when it appeared as one of the highlights of that year’s Nottingham Goose Fair. From here it spent three years at the Ocean Beach amusement park in Rhyl, North Wales, before being purchased purchased by the current owners.
The ride saw in the new millennium at Piccadilly Gardens in Central Manchester and has since been presented by de-Konings with the Blackpool Pleasure Beach company in Southport, and at events in Ireland, the Isle of Man and the length and breadth of the UK.
Following extensive refurbishment by Jan de-Koning, the World’s Fair Wheel is now available for hire at your event or attraction.
