Features
- Step right up, hop aboard and hold on for the ride of your life! Proving that bigger is better, Jupiter is your gateway to a breathtaking view. Just as Jupiter is the king of the planets, so is Jupiter the king of HO Scale Ferris wheels. Standing a hair under 150 scale feet tall, this fascinating motorized model brings all the glitz and action of an amusement park to your pike.
- Since the 1890s, Ferris wheels (named for inventor George Ferris) have delighted millions of fair, carnival and amusement park goers. This model is based on the huge wheel from Nauta-Bussing and operated by Barth-Kipp in Bonn, Germany, beginning in the 1970s. While based on a German prototype, the model is a real eye-catcher on American model railroads, too.
- From its intricate wheel and 36 colorful gondolas to its detailed entrance pavilion, this new model has all the trappings of a flashy amusement park ride including colorful support trusses and decorative rooftop ornaments for the ticket booth. This detailed kit includes a 12-16-volt motor for realistic operation. By adding the Ferris Wheel Lamp Set (sold separately), you can illuminate each of the gondolas, the front supporting pillars and the large Jupiter sign.
- The completed model measures: 11 x 8-5/8 x 20-1/2" 28 x 22 x 52cm.
