Observation Rides

Reliable Technology for Modern Landmarks - Robust and Unobtrusive

Observation Wheels have become iconic landmarks in cities and theme parks around the world. The technology behind these impressive structures must meet the highest standards: Reliability and safety are top priorities, especially as people are directly involved. Our conductor rails and slip ring assemblies ensure stable power transmission, allowing the wheel to operate continuously, regardless of weather conditions such as rain, snow, or extreme temperatures.

Conductix-Wampfler systems take into account thermal expansions that can occur due to strong temperature fluctuations and are optimized for permanent outdoor use. It is also important to us that our technology blends seamlessly into the overall design of the Ferris wheel and, therefore, meets the aesthetic requirements of modern attractions.

Whether for lighting the wheel, operating the cabin air conditioning systems, providing entertainment in the cabins, or controlling motion, our solutions provide the necessary power and data transmission to create a smooth and unforgettable ride experience. We are proud to accompany these impressive projects worldwide and to make the future even bigger and more spectacular.

Tailored Solutions for You:

• Conductor Rails bent into a ring are best suited for carousels and rotating rides, allowing a 360° supply of energy and data.
• On customer request, the conductor rail insulation profiles can be selected in an optional color, enabling optimal integration into the observation wheel.
• Slip Ring Assemblies - with housing or as built-in slip ring assemblies - transport energy and data to the rotating parts of the carousel and can be combined with hydraulic and pneumatic rotary transmitters.

360° Experience at the Highest Level - Reliable Technology for Gyro Towers

A Revolving Gyro Tower combines the function of an observation tower with the experience of a slow, rotating ride that offers passengers a breathtaking 360° view. The technology behind this experience must be both safe and aesthetically pleasing. Our energy and data transmission solutions ensure that the tower's platform rotates smoothly, the lighting shines, the air conditioning works, and passengers have access to media, regardless of the weather conditions.

As experts in outdoor applications, we supply systems that function reliably even in rain, snow, or extreme temperatures. Our conductor rails and other solutions are designed to compensate for thermal expansion and overcome mechanical challenges. At the same time, they blend unobtrusively into the overall design to preserve the aesthetics of the tower.

With decades of experience and close collaboration with the industry's leading manufacturers, we offer operators reliable and proven systems that meet the highest standards for an exceptional ride experience and satisfied customers.
