As a tribute to the original Wonder Wheel built in 1920, still in operation today at Coney Island, Intamin premiered a more modern version, featuring state-of-the art equipment for maximum thrill. In addition to the traditional giant wheel, gondolas are placed on a moving chassis so vehicles are free to move along the ellipsoidal tracks inside the Coaster Wheel.

Just like a classic roller coaster, gravity creates and influences the movement of the gondola. Depending on the specific position of the wheel, riders will slide either forward or backwards, rocking back and forth until reaching the next dynamic wheel position.
​
The Coaster Wheel attracts not only passengers but also spectators. It is a great family-friendly ride for everybody, which will enrich every park, shopping mall or other destination. It’s a giant wheel ride that can be a completely different experience every single time!
