Diamond Wheel, 2015 - Build up, Operation, Build down, Transport, Build up.

#Kermis #Carnival #FerrisWheel #Hoorn #Amsterdam
Registratie van (mogelijk) de laatste twee trips van het Diamond Wheel reuzenrad (onder de huidige eigenaar). We zien de opbouw, draai en afbouw in Hoorn, en een stukje opbouw ten behoeve van Sail Amsterdam. Het rad arriveerde in Hoorn nog in de wrap van het Belgische Tomorrowland festival en werd in verband met Sail Amsterdam 2015 voorzien van Staatsloterij wraps.

Het Diamond Wheel (2008) is het grootste reizende reuzenrad van de Benelux, maar zal na Hoorn en Sail worden vervangen voor The View (evenals het Diamond Wheel een concept van Mondial). Exploitant Arend Harms investeerde in een nieuw, mooier rad, met bovendien meer gondels en moderne verlichting. De oplevering van het nieuwe spul staat medio September (2015) gepland.

Loadout, Build up, Teardown, Load, Loadout and Build up.
The construction of the magnificent Diamond Wheel. This traveling wheel is shipped with its own supporting structure and wheel deck attributes like ticketing and operator booth. All needed, is a space large enough to hold the wheel and a soil condition that can deal with the weight of a wheel. Construction takes two days (or 12 nonstop hours) and this type of wheel is normally used for traveling fairgrounds or for special events like sports tournaments, exhibitions, festivals or annual events like X-mass (or, as seen in this video: Sail Amsterdam 2015). As soon as the buildup is completed, the wheel is ready to operate. Transportable Ferris wheels are designed to be operated at multiple locations, as opposed to fixed wheels which are usually intended for permanent installation.
Small transportable designs may be permanently mounted on trailers, and can be moved intact. Larger transportable wheels, like the Diamond Wheel, are designed to be repeatedly dismantled and rebuilt, some using water ballast instead of the permanent foundations of their fixed counterparts.
