How does the Fabbri Giant Wheel compare to the Expo Wheel in regards to height and capacity?
I think Strates' wheel is 108' (33m) high.
Ride the Zipper?
Yes, that is the one; manufactured by Fabbri. Are they taller and have more capacity than the Expo Wheel? Thank you for the information.
Then there are the Dutch Wheels that Strates, Reithoffer and RCS have, 24 tubs, 4-6 passengers each,approx 100' diameter.

Oh that's a Fabbri Gondola Wheel. Bluegrass Shows had one as well, and there is a show out west that has one, and Bruce Turpin (sp?) has/had one. It's 20 meters (66 feet) tall, 16 tubs, 64 passengers. Not listed under Fabbri anymore, it is on the Technical Park website though.

Chance Giant Wheel is 20 tubs at 4 to 6 people per tub

Chance Century Wheel is 15 tubs at, as Matt said, 4 per tub

So seating cap is quite different

By "Giant Wheel" do you mean the Chance version? If so, it's taller than the Century Wheel, at around ninety feet. Century Wheel, I believe without looking, is around sixty eight feet or so. A Mulligan Gondola Wheel (two trailer version) is eighty feet in height.
