The Seattle Great Wheel, Seattle, WA
The Seattle Great Wheel is an iconic landmark situated in Seattle, Washington, USA. It is the largest Ferris wheel on the West Coast of America and stands at 175 feet tall! The structure consists of 42 air-conditioned gondolas that can carry up to 8 passengers each. It offers fantastic views of Elliott Bay, the Seattle skyline and some of the most picturesque scenes of Mount Rainier.
The wheel was initially opened to the public in June 2012, with a grand opening ceremony presided over by then-Mayor Mike McGinn. Since then it has become a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all around the world. In addition to providing breathtaking views from its height, The Seattle Great Wheel also features concessions, souvenir shops and photo ops along its length.
Designed by talented engineer Hal Griffith, The Seattle Great Wheel’s engineering feats have been recognized worldwide for its sophistication and complexity. Its axle is connected to its hub using no less than 91 bearings and every spoke requires a special welding process to ensure it remains structurally sound even when subject to pressure from high winds. In addition, 4 powerful motors are used to rotate each gondola safely around the wheel at up to six miles per hour!
For those brave enough, there is also a VIP Gondola which sits atop one of the spokes closest to the hub offering unbeatable 360-degree views - as well as room for 8 passengers! If you want something a bit more special though then why not try out one of their signature ‘Lights Out’ experiences? This unique offer sees all lights on The Seattle Great Wheel switched off for one rotation giving you an entirely new perspective on your city's beloved site!
