Wonder Wheel Pictures

Amusement Park Pictures > Coney Island > Rides and Attractions > Wonder Wheel Pictures

The Wonder Wheel stands 150 feet tall. It features 16 swinging and 8 stationary cars.

The Wonder Wheel was built in 1920 and to this day has a perfect safety record. The only stoppage in the history of the ride was during the great NYC blackout on July 13, 1977 - riders were brought down safely when owners hand cranked the ride to turn it.

A full sized replica of the Wonder Wheel exists in Yokahama, Japan.

The Wonder Wheel was named an official NYC landmark in 1989.
