The Big Wave ride experience

Big Wave combines a shared bench seat with the motion of a windscreen wiper. As the bench travels up and down along its circular path, passengers continue to face forwards. This lets you experience the rise and fall right alongside your fellow riders. You can get a good view of how the ride works from the edge of the fairground. The music and shared movement also make the ride enjoyable for a group visiting the funfair together.

Technology and data

The following values describe the specifically named attraction. Set-up dimensions refer to the assembled ride; for rides that rise, the maximum movement height does not indicate the free-fall distance. The number of seats describes simultaneous occupancy, not hourly passenger capacity.

18 passenger seats according to the Ride Index; year of construction and exact dimensions are not documented.

History of Big Wave

Ride-Index attributes this KMG ride to Dieter Milz from Engelskirchen and lists Bügler from Bad Kreuznach as its previous owner. No confirmed year of construction has been published there. Other rides named Big Wave are therefore not a source for its year of construction or dimensions.

Operator

Dieter Milz operates this attraction as a travelling ride. When looking for dates, combining the ride's name with the operator can help: similarly named rides may have a different design and their own history. You can find confirmed appearances in the funfair dates.

Tips for your visit

Watch the direction the bench moves before deciding whether to ride. For children, the size and accompaniment rules displayed at the entrance apply. Fares and conditions of participation are set or displayed at each appearance. Before buying a ticket, ask about the minimum height, age and whether accompaniment is required. Follow the instructions when boarding and stow loose items as directed by the team.
