The Wheel
The Wheel is the observation wheel on its own pier behind the city. A cabin comes round to the gate every 30 seconds; one turn takes 12 minutes, with the whole city and the bay below.
Book a cabin at the booth on its pier — up to three friends with you, your own private cabin and your own voice chat inside — or ride the next free one.
