The installation of a Ferris wheel in Vinaròs's port area, where the festivals' verbenas and concerts are held, puts this year's fairground attractions at risk of not taking place.

Fairground operators have expressed their disagreement with the decision to install this Ferris wheel in the port area, arguing that it divides the fair's entertainment offerings and could negatively impact their businesses. The usual location for the attractions is the Fora Forat section of the promenade, next to the Cervol river mouth.
Furthermore, they will have less space this year, meaning two fewer attractions can be set up. The operators claim the City Council did not inform them beforehand about the Ferris wheel's placement next to the port's party tent and regret finding out after paying the fees.
With the festivals set to begin in six days, the situation remains uncertain. A potential solution could be relocating the Ferris wheel to the fairground site, although this would require expanding the current space.
