Zhengzhou Ferris Wheel, Giant Ferris wheel in Century Amusement Park, Zhengzhou, China
The Zhengzhou Ferris Wheel is a 120-meter observation wheel located in Century Amusement Park in Zhengzhou, China, with 48 climate-controlled cabins that each hold up to 8 people. The wheel turns slowly, taking around 30 minutes to complete one full rotation.
The wheel opened in 2003 as the tallest observation wheel in China at that time and the second tallest in the world, after the London Eye. It was one of the first large-scale projects of its kind in the country, showing how fast urban leisure infrastructure was growing.
The wheel stood in Century Amusement Park, which also held roller coasters, children's rides and arcade games. It was demolished in late 2022 to early 2023, so nothing of the ride remains for visitors. Zhengzhou still has at least one other giant Ferris wheel, in Renmin Park.
The wheel no longer exists: it was demolished between late 2022 and early 2023, so there is nothing to ride at Century Amusement Park. Visitors looking for a giant Ferris wheel in Zhengzhou can go to the one at Renmin Park instead.
