View modelSkyviewAttractions + SkyviewCreations
Attractions That Sell The Location.
SkyviewAttractions and SkyviewCreations design and deliver custom attractions for cities, waterfronts, resorts, theme parks and mixed-use developments. That can mean a giant wheel, an observation tower, an immersive audience concept or a broader attraction package shaped around the site, the investment logic and the experience the client wants to create. We do not just build hardware. We help make places more visible, more attractive and more commercially alive.

Investor-minded thinking
- We think with clients about more than the ride itself: site fit, destination value, investor confidence, ticket appeal and the wider commercial role of the attraction.
- Our group combines Dutch engineering and delivery thinking with the flexibility to shape custom attraction concepts instead of forcing one standard answer onto every site.
- One partner for concept direction, manufacturing, turnkey installation, lighting, support, spare parts and maintenance follow-up after opening.

Why buyers choose giant wheels
A giant wheel sells more than rides. It sells the whole destination.
A well-positioned observation wheel becomes the image people remember, share and travel for. It drives ticket sales, lifts footfall for nearby hospitality, improves sponsorship value and gives the location a marketable landmark that keeps working in every campaign.
- Strong skyline presence that helps the destination stand out in press, tourism campaigns and social media.
- Broad appeal across families, tourists, corporate guests and premium event packages.
- Suitable for semi-portable and permanent destination strategies depending on site envelope and investment profile.
Why SkyView is broader
We do not start with one product. We start with what the location needs to achieve.
Some clients need a skyline wheel. Others need a tower, an immersive audience concept, stronger evening presentation or a custom attraction story that helps investors and municipalities believe in the project. That is the value of the wider SkyView group: engineering, visual impact and commercial thinking shaped around the brief instead of around a fixed catalog alone.
- Concept support for operators, developers and investor-led destination projects.
- Custom attraction thinking across wheels, towers, show environments, lighting and guest experience.
- On-site assembly, testing, commissioning, training and a SkyView Maintenance App approach for long-term follow-up.

Concept visuals
Some images and videos on this website are AI-made concept visuals to show how far a destination idea can go.
We use AI-generated impressions on selected parts of the site because they help clients, cities, developers and investors picture possibilities faster. That does not replace real engineering, real delivery or real project thinking. It helps open the conversation and make an early idea visible before every detail is fixed.
Some visuals on this website are real project references. Others are concept-driven impressions created to show atmosphere, ambition and the kind of attraction experience SkyView can help shape. The point is simple: we are not limited in ideas, styling or direction when a client wants to create something stronger for a location.
Why this matters
The visual is there to start the right conversation. The real project starts when we talk.
Every site, district and investment story asks for its own answer. That is why we invite serious clients to get in contact, share the location, the commercial goal and the kind of impact they want to create. From there we can help shape a real attraction concept, whether that leads to a wheel, a tower, lighting, an immersive environment or something more custom.
Management team
The people behind SkyView matter just as much as the products.
Buyers do not only buy a wheel, a tower or a show system. They buy the judgment, creativity and follow-through of the people behind it. Alongside the five senior profiles highlighted here, a team of more than 20 people works daily across operations, ICT, engineering, on-site technical support and project coordination to keep every delivery and every attraction running.
CEO
Perry Oerlemans
Leads the commercial direction of SkyView with a strong focus on destination value, operator reality and projects that need to perform in the public eye.
Commercial Project Advisor
Tjebbe Haringa
Helps cities, developers and operators turn a vague site ambition into a concrete business case. Tjebbe reviews capacity, ticket strategy, location fit, project positioning and the kind of practical operator details that separate a nice render from a commercially credible proposal.
Head of Attraction Engineering
Bernt Barink
Makes sure the bold attraction concept you approve on paper can actually be built, certified and operated in real conditions. Bernt's engineering focus reduces unpleasant surprises during delivery, keeps certification paths sensible and protects the project timeline from concept drift.
Head of Product Development
Henri Groels
Keeps SkyView products ahead of the market by engineering for real operator use. Henri's development work improves guest throughput, daily maintenance routines, long-term reliability and the kind of product differentiation that helps operators justify premium positioning, VIP cabins and stronger ticket tiers.
International Partnerships
Mien Chen
Helps SkyView connect with international partners, suppliers and destination relationships beyond Europe, so clients benefit from a broader supplier network and stronger delivery coordination for cross-border projects.
Project reference
Kaunas shows exactly why cities keep investing in observation wheels.
The Kaunas project in Lithuania underlines the commercial value of a well-placed wheel: stronger tourism positioning, a clear skyline icon and a new paid attraction that lifts the appeal of the whole district. That is the wider sales case many buyers care about most.
