This is what it’s like to ride Roulette
On a Round Up, passengers stand in individual seats around the outer ring. As the ring rotates, the resulting outward force keeps them in their seats. The ride can also raise the rotating platform from its horizontal position. This changes passengers’ spatial perception: they experience the circular motion not just on one level, but at an angle. It is this combination of steady rotation and changing orientation that makes the classic Round Up principle so appealing.

History and classification
The Round-Up concept is one of the distinctive classics among rotating funfair rides. Unlike modern pendulum rides, its defining movement comes not from a large swinging arm but from the rotating passenger ring. Roulette by Robin Sokolowski keeps this ride principle alive on the travelling funfair circuit. The combination of a clearly recognisable circular shape, standing passengers and the ring being raised is easy to understand from the outside too. As well as the ride experience, this attraction offers an interesting insight into a specific type of circular ride.

Operators and guest appearances
The ride is listed in Belgian line-ups of rides under the name Roulette, operated by showman Robin Sokolowski. In September 2026, it was among the attractions explicitly named as new to the city at the September fair in Tongeren. Roulette was also listed by name with the same operator at the Jaarmarktkermis in Niel in November 2026. These appearances show that the ride is used at various Belgian fairs. Such lists naming the ride are particularly helpful to visitors, as the name Roulette alone does not clearly identify every similarly named ride.
Who is Roulette suitable for?
Roulette is mainly for fairgoers who enjoy spinning rides and appreciate classic, mechanically driven rides. Unlike on bumper cars, you do not steer it yourself; the machine controls the ride. If you are sensitive to sustained circular motion, you should bear this difference in mind. Before boarding, follow the access and safety instructions displayed at the ride. For visitors interested in the variety of ride designs that have evolved over time, the distinctive construction of the Round Up is an attraction in its own right.
