Funfair Hire Paisley
The Giant Wheel or Ferris Wheel is one of the most iconic fairground rides and has been put into use around the world. The London Eye is one such famous example while the High Roller in Las Vegas, Nevada currently holds the record as the highest at 550 feet.
When considering fairground ride hire in Paisley, something a little smaller is likely to be in order! But the appeal of a giant wheel hasn’t diminished with time and is always the sight that attracts the eye when approaching a fairground area.
The giant wheel ride idea goes back to the 17th century and was first note din Bulgaria where chairs were suspended from wooden rings and were turned by men. It appeared in England later that century and began to spread around the world. In 1848, a Frenchman called Antonio Manguino created a wooden pleasure wheel at his fair in Georgia.
The first Ferris Wheel as we know them today was constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jnr and was 264 feet high. It was made for the World’s Columbian exposition in Chicago in 1893 and was designed to rival the Eiffel Tower that had been created four years earlier.
Today no matter what the event, it is possible to hire a giant wheel to complement the other features on offer and here at Event Catering Scotland, it is just one of the rides we can offer.
