The Giant Wheel was the largest Ferris wheel in the world at the time and the park's tallest attraction at 165 feet. It’s currently the second tallest wheel in North America.

The Giant Wheel provides an incredible view of the midway and the lake, and it showcased a light display at night.

If I counted correctly the ferris wheel has 30 cars with each car having room for 6.
