These towering attractions offer a thrilling experience for every adventurer

The Ferris wheel is a classic amusement ride beloved by people of all ages, from children to adults. Its unique appeal lies in its ability to provide a relaxing and enjoyable way to view panoramic landscapes from above. Today, Ferris wheels can be found not only in amusement parks but also in city centers and shopping malls around the world, including in Indonesia.

The Ferris wheel traces its origins to the visionary idea of George W.G. Ferris Jr., who designed the structure for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. He built a giant wheel with a diameter of 250 feet and 36 wooden cars, each capable of carrying up to 60 passengers. The project’s success established the Ferris wheel as one of the greatest feats of engineering of its time.

In Indonesia, several iconic Ferris wheels have become major tourist attractions, including:

1. Dufan Ferris Wheel, Jakarta

One of the main attractions at Dunia Fantasi (Dufan) in Ancol is a giant Ferris wheel that lifts visitors approximately 30 meters above sea level. With a capacity of up to 180 people, this ride is perfect for families and friends. The scenic view of Ancol’s coastline and the Jakarta skyline at sunset adds to the experience, especially when the park lights begin to glow, creating a charming and romantic atmosphere.

2. Cakra Manggilingan, Yogyakarta

At Sindu Kusuma Edupark in Yogyakarta, visitors can enjoy Cakra Manggilingan, a 50-meter-tall Ferris wheel offering panoramic views of Jogja. It has 28 cabins, each accommodating four adults, and is located in the middle of a pond complete with fountains, creating an aesthetic and pleasant setting. A full rotation takes about seven minutes, offering plenty of time to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

3. J-Sky Ferris Wheel, Jakarta

The tallest Ferris wheel in Indonesia, the J-Sky Ferris Wheel at AEON Mall Jakarta Garden City, stands at 69 meters high. It features 32 air-conditioned capsules, each accommodating up to six people, including four specially designed for individuals with disabilities. From this height, visitors can enjoy a stunning view of Jakarta’s skyline—rows of skyscrapers and the city’s bustling energy look truly spectacular from above.

Ferris wheels are more than just amusement rides—they offer a delightful way to admire the beauty of a city from a new perspective. With a variety of locations to choose from, Ferris wheels in Indonesia provide unforgettable experiences for every visitor.
