The Netherlands-based Dutch Wheels designed and constructed the wheel. It was a model R50SP-36.[5] It had 36 climate controlled gondolas that could accommodate 6 people each. A VIP gondola featured a glass floor. A dining car was reservable for dinner or high tea, which is why it was also known as the Dinner Wheel.[6]
