Casino Pier announced the start of construction on their new ferris wheel to be built on the new portion of the amusement pier this week.

A new 40 meter Ferris Wheel will stand 131 ft tall & bright on our newly expanded pier in 2017. Manufactured by Technical Park, 34 gondolas seating 6 passengers will offer breathtaking views of the Jersey Shore. One gondola will offer wheelchair accessibility.

“Some shiny and new pieces arrived for the Ferris Wheel! The west support is being put into place,” the company said on Facebook. Photo Casino Pier, FB.
