Santa Monica’s New Solar Powered LED Ferris Wheel
by max on Monday, June 2nd, 2008
Santa Monica Pier will be getting a new solar powered LED ferris wheel.
The Pacific Ferris Wheel at the Santa Monica Pier in California took her last spin on May 5th before crews dismantled the sun-faded behemoth piece by piece to make way for a shiny new wheel. And shiny it is, boasting 160,000 LED lights that will bring glittering visual performances to Santa Monica’s evening sky. The solar panels used for the old wheel will remain at the pier, providing clean energy for the 90-foot ride and its 800 passengers per hour.
