Moscow Sun, Ferris wheel at Exhibition of National Economy, Moscow, Russia
The Moscow Sun rises 140 meters into the sky with 30 glass cabins offering panoramic views extending up to 50 kilometers across the Russian capital.
The structure replaced the previous Moscow-850 Ferris wheel and opened on September 10, 2022, during the celebration of Moscow's 875th anniversary.
Located in VDNKh, a center that displays Russian achievements, the wheel represents modern engineering progress while maintaining connections to national traditions.
Each temperature-controlled cabin accommodates 15 passengers, with a complete rotation lasting 18 minutes and 40 seconds through the Moscow skyline.
The wheel features 14 electric motors of 200 kilowatts each, making it the tallest operating Ferris wheel across Europe, surpassing the London Eye.
