Flying Wheels

Fast Facts

Themeable
ADA Version
Interactive
Indoor/Outdoor
Thrill Factor: 2/6

Flying Wheels are a real highlight for young park guests—visually striking, interactive, and with gentle thrills. Riders take their seats in freely rotating gondolas. Four possible motion directions create an exciting combo of vertical movement and rotation—without overwhelming younger guests.

What makes Flying Wheels special is not only the optional interactive features like scannable tags or target markers, but also the availability of ADA gondolas for barrier-free access.

With bold looks and dynamic motion, Flying Wheels draw a crowd—ideal as a stand-alone attraction or a centerpiece in a themed area. The ride needs only a comparatively small footprint and, thanks to its solid construction, is built for continuous operation.

Gondolas can be fully customized—from whimsical flying objects to branded worlds. LED lighting, sound effects, or light shows can be added to boost the experience.

An ideal kids’ ride—often with no minimum height when accompanied—perfect for guests who want “more to experience,” but aren’t ready for thrill rides yet.
