  • the bearing and/or guiding structure is e.g.
  • a rim like, circular, vertical or inclined ring structure rotating around a central hub, such as with a traditional ferris wheel, or e.g. a comparable ring structure, but in that case mounted without the possibility to rotate.
  • the gondolas are stationary mounted to the ring structure and follow the movements thereof.

  • the cabin is designed such that during the ride passengers are offered sufficient space to walk around and take several positions without obstructing other passengers.
