Ronald Bussink

Ronald A. Bussink[1] has been a leading designer of giant Ferris wheels and similar structures for over 25 years.

[2] Bussink entered the amusement industry market in 1985[3] and designed, manufactured, and delivered more than 60 giant observation wheels between 1990 and 2005.

[5][6] It was then known as Ronald Bussink Professional Rides, a registered trademark of Ronald Bussink Aktiengesellschaft,[4] which was subsequently renamed Professional Rides Aktiengesellschaft, RoBu Privat Equity AG and then RoBu AG.

[12] Following the sale of the Wheels of Excellence range, Bussink founded a new company, Bussink Landmarks, to concentrate on the supply of giant observation wheels of 100 metres (328 ft) and greater in height.

[15] The R80XL is available in fixed (SV) and transportable (SP) versions,[16] both approximately 78 metres (256 ft) tall.
