- Plan your next step
- From age 4
Western-Riesenrad
The Western-Riesenrad is a small Ferris wheel in Exploria, next to the children's western town. Where the heroes of the prairie once took their Sunday bath, you now sit in a wooden washtub. The wheel has been turning since 2008 and was built by Zierer.
The concept
The gondolas are wooden washtubs, fitting the Wild West theme. The wheel has a diameter of 8.7 metres and stands 12 metres tall. It turns gently, at 3 revolutions per minute.
The Experience
From the top you look out over the tipis and saloons of the children's western town. It's a calm ride, ideal for young children and for parents who fancy a sit-down.
