Home » Lamberink Ferris Wheels & Street Machine debut Chile’s first large Ferris Wheel in Viña del Mar

Lamberink Ferris Wheels, in partnership with Street Machine, has introduced Chile’s first large Ferris wheel to the coastal city of Viña del Mar. La Gran Rueda officially opened on December 12^th. The 33-meter Ferris wheel offers visitors a unique overlook over Viña del Mar and its coastline, including landmarks such as the Presidential Palace of Cerro Castillo and the Wulff Castle.

A perfect match

The collaboration between Lamberink Ferris Wheels and Street Machine was a natural fit. Street Machine’s expertise in managing large-scale events aligns perfectly with Lamberink’s experience operating Ferris wheels at festivals and public events in Europe.

Accessible for the whole family

Designed to be accessible for everyone, the Ferris wheel features a dedicated gondola and special access for people with reduced mobility, including wheelchair users, ensuring a welcoming ride experience for the whole family. The attraction is part of the 150-year celebration of Viña del Mar and will be operational until March before it moves to a different location.

6 million visitors

“We’re very excited with our collaboration with Lamberink”, said Robert Morrison, General Manager at Street Machine. “Their experience as wheel operators is reflected in an easy build-up and very friendly operational system. The new 33-meter wheel was launched in Viña del Mar, on the coast of Santiago city, on the 12^th of December with great media coverage and feedback from the local people. The city expects 6 million people during the summer season, and for sure, this wheel will be an iconic tourist attraction for all families. This new wheel is the beginning of the alliance between Lamberink and Street Machine in Chile and South America, with many ideas and projects in the pipeline”.

A bright future

“We’re proud to see this wheel bringing many happy faces to Chile and excited to continue working with Street Machine on future projects.” Said Romee Popelier, Managing Director at RP Rides, Lamberink’s representative for this project.

Street Machine’s successful opening weekend with La Gran Rueda is the kickoff to a bright future between both companies in South America.
