Propeller is a ride owned and travelled by showmen Albert Ordelman since 2011.

History

The ride debuted in 2010 as Inversion XXL in Sevilla April Fair, Spain, by Vicente Bañuls. It was the prototype Inversion manufactured by Fabbri. Then, the ride arrived in the Netherlands under the direction of Albert Ordelman, premiering at the Kermis Amsterdam Westerpark in 2011. During Christmas 2011 and new year, it operated at the Funderland event in Dublin, Ireland.[1] In late 2015, the ride was rethemed and its name changed to Propeller. Ordelman also partnered with German showman Blume from November 2015 to approximately 2017.[2] In 2018 the ride was modified to reduce the seats from four sets of four to three sets of four, reducing the capacity of the ride from 16 to 12.[3]

Since 2023, the ride is currently in Kuwait on loan and is expected to return to the Netherlands-Germany in spring 2026.[4][5]
