The Attraction is projected according to the most recent and strict safety standards respecting as well the local environmental impact. For this reason the Attraction is simply placed on the ground without needing any concrete foundation. The basement the Wheel is equipped with allows it to withstand heavy wind forces, storms and other bad weather conditions.
Structural Design
The “Design” of the structure, is specifically studied to place this structure into both antique or modern environments , adding to the linearity of the buildings a unique harmonic shape.
Cabins
The closed cabins have a smooth, aerodynamic shape with large windows offering the passengers the possibility to have a fantastic view over the city. The technology used for these cabins comes from famous Swiss Cabin Manufacturers offering very strong aluminium structures being especially reinforced for this use.
Access
The Attraction’s drive system is specifically studied and manufactured to allow a continuous rotation at low speed: in this way passengers enter and exit the cabins when these are in proximity of the station. The rotation cycle can be stopped in case elder people or persons with a handicap need to enter or exit one of the cabins.
