Roue de Paris

The Roue de Paris is a Ferris wheel in Paris, which was first established in December 1999 to commemorate the Millennium on the Place de la Concorde. It was built by the firm Nauta Bussink in the Netherlands. It is in the tradition of the Grande Roue de Paris, which was built for the World Fair in 1900 and 1937 broken down.

The original operating license for the Roue de Paris expired on 31 December 2000. Nevertheless, the operator Marcel Campion refused to cease operation. It was only after a court ruling he built the Ferris wheel from in January 2002 and sold it to the UK. There it was from November 2003 to February 2004 in Birmingham and in December 2004 at the Christmas market in Manchester. In early 2005 it was sold to the company Magic Fair Attractions bv Dutchman Leon Snep sold. After a short visit at the World Town Fair in Sittard -Geleen it was in the summer months on the Museum Island in Amsterdam. 2006 was the Ferris wheel in Bangkok. It now belongs to the company Freij Entertainment International
