With an overall height of 88 meters, from 2019 to November 2022, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in Latin America; however, it lost the title with the completion of the 91-meter Roda Rico, located in the city of São Paulo.
The ferris wheel has 54 cabins and can transport up to 432 people every 20 minutes, the average duration of a full tour.
It is located on Orla Conde, also called Olympic Boulevard, in the port area of Rio de Janeiro, next to the AquaRio aquarium.
The opening took place on December 6, 2019 for the general public.
Note: The last 2 photos were taken from our cruise ship in April 2024.
