I believe this is the 2nd tallest in the US, it's 200 ft tall and the largest is 210 at the Texas state fair. More

Beautiful ride to take especially at sunset. The gondola like seats that you sit in are air conditioned and it makes for a lovely ride. If only it were a little longer of a ride for your money. Especially after the lomg wait longs. But it is still a beautiful ride. More

We rode this to challenge our fear of heights........... and Oh did it! 250 ft high. It took going around several times before I could really look out and open my eyes fully. The views are pretty. Most importantly it looks sturdy, solid and well built! More

We went during the day...night time gets more busy. GEt a coupon out of one of those booklets. The wheel is surrounded by Landshark bar and grill and gift shop and is close to other places to eat/drink or shop. Very friendly staff and great views! Take your camera! More

We rode the sky wheel at dusk and had a magnificent view of our surroundings. Ride was very comfortable and safe. My husband and I rode the wheel with our 15 month old son who thoroughly enjoyed himself. The lights from the impressive wheel do not take away from your view due to the tinting on the enclosure.
