Description
Forty gondolas, each seating up to six passengers, hang from the 140-foot wheel on Chicago's Navy Pier.
The Ferris Wheel opened in 1995 and operated until it was replaced in 2015. It was 150 feet high with 40 gondolas and was modeled after the world's first Ferris Wheel, which was built for the Chicago Colombian Exposition in 1893.
