Old Croc Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The much touted highest ferris wheel is nearing completion in Yaowarat Rd, Phuket City, adjacent to Tesco. Only problem is they seem to have been confused about how high it needs to be to get the record. It's only about the size of the one I rode as a kid in the local Luna Park! It appears they're constructing some sort of fair ground with a number of rides and other attractions. It appears to be part of the massive new undercover markets also near completion.

mogandave Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I think the highest is the "Big Wheel" at Elitch Gardens in Denver Colorado at ~1,800m I think the tallest is the "High Roller" in Las Vegas NV at 167.6m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it wouldn't surprise me if there are other, higher ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tallest is Ain Dubai at 210m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
