The Corbiere Wheel is the creation of French engineer, Henri Corbiere, built around 1956.
This veteran ferris wheel is the only ride in the world to have a spherical motion. In other words the whole wheel revolves around its base as its gondolas travel in a spiral path describing a sphere through space.
Now in its golden age this state of the art design had its passengers spellbound by the unique sensation of its double action.
Dreamland’s Corbiere Wheel is stored with Carter’s Steam Fair in Maidenhead and will be ready for restoration work to start at the beginning of 2011.
