I've hauled these rides for many years. But I never could stop to watch them get put together. There either not put up yet or already taken down. Thanks for posting.

As many times as I have seen and ridden Chance Giant Gondola Wheels, I have never seen one get set up. Nice.

A very well done, and fascinating, video! Shared it to my Facebook, and thanks for answering this question so well LOL.

[@LatinoSan]

[@Vintabilly]

[@ballenberkley]

[@joned1000]

thanks for the good vid

[@Ryanlikes2PARTY]

That is pretty cool!

[@Busdude97]

Thats cool yall. I've always wondered how the rides are set up.

[@TheoBinnendijk]

Nice video; I like this kind of stuff. I made some videos of the set up of the Fair in Wijchen in the Netherlands this year. It takes 2 days as well, but I didn't speed it up; 3 videos, total time 1 hour.

[@Dodowvogel]

Wow very nice!

[@soccersmarts]

Butler set up a policy that now, you have to be 18 to ride on this wheel, and you need ID, even if you look to be above 18.

[@rdcolles]

This IS a Chance Giant Wheel and they're ALL four trailers. Perhaps you're thinking of the Chance Centruy Wheel which is a one trailer ride, however some shows offload some of it onto another trailer to lighten the load.

[@Predatorocks]

That was awesome what you show in this video. Who is this wheel made by? The Chance Giant Wheel only has 2 trucks, but this one has 3. Well, technically 4. I'm kind of shocked they aren't going to buy a ferris wheel with less trucks because of gas. It's hard in the Chicago area to find anything over 2 trucks for a ride. There are only likely 3 rides I know of that even have 2 trucks. It's all one mostly. The Ferris Wheels are mostly Eli or Century Wheel.

[@MRIFAILATCOD]

they take their time with the leveling outriggers

[@camhesse1]

i reaaly like this video i wondered how they set up a ferris wheel at the fair

[@AlphaFlight]

Still my favorite videos. Can you try and do one of the spin out?

[@chrishasic]

Alot of work to assemble one of these. But this is pretty cool!
