The Matterhorn is a full-size fairground ride where two riders sit side by side in a suspended cart. The carts spin around a central undulating track – think of it as pringle-shaped – and as the speed builds, centrifugal force lifts each cart outward and upward. Add smoke machines, synchronised lighting, and a thumping sound system, and you've got one of the most intense rides on the travelling fair circuit, set up right at your event.
This isn't a bouncy castle with a motor. It's a genuine white-knuckle fairground ride, delivered, erected, and operated by our trained ride crew. You don't need to find operators or worry about safety paperwork – our team handles everything from setup to teardown, backed by £5 million public liability insurance as standard.
What Events Suit the Matterhorn?
Corporate fun days, company summer parties, large private celebrations, and milestone events where you want a genuine showpiece. The ride occupies a 75ft x 50ft footprint (100ft x 75ft required space with safety clearance) and stands 20ft tall, so it works as a visual centrepiece that draws people in from across the site. We've delivered full-scale fairground rides to corporate clients including Amazon and to councils across the UK.
Build a Full Funfair
The Matterhorn pairs well with DB's other fairground rides. Add a Waltzer, Dodgems, or Ferris Wheel for a multi-ride funfair, or combine it with a Ghost Train and 3-Deck Funhouse for a complete fairground experience. We also supply fun food stalls, side games, and generators – everything from a single supplier with one delivery, one invoice, and one team on site.
DB Entertainment owns 95% of its equipment in-house. No sub-hiring, no third-party reliability issues. We've been doing this for over 25 years from our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham, five minutes from the A1, M1, and M18.
