The Seattle Great Wheel in Washington, USA

The Seattle Great Wheel in Washington, USA started operations July 2012. 

The wheel is part of the famous Seattle Waterfront Park which comprises the area from Pier 57 to 59 and includes attractions like the Seattle Aquarium.  The wheel is positioned at the outset of Pier 57 which already was a destination itself with restaurants and a traditional carrousel. 

The Seattle Great Wheel is an original 53 meter R60SV carrying 42, 6-person gondolas. The wheel was built locally by Chance Rides under license from Dutch Wheels.
