When we think of a Ferris wheel, an experience on this typical amusement park toy always comes to mind and, without us noticing it, a smile is sketched on our face, because it involves nostalgia and good memories.
Yup Star Foz brings that delicious feeling and the best, evergreen!
Yes, the Ferris wheel is a fixed attraction in the city of Foz do Iguaçu!
But let's go to some technical details:
The wheel is 88 meters high, 36 air-conditioned cabins, where 8 people per cabin enjoy a ride of approximately 20 minutes.
Now think about the following: 88 meters high corresponds to a building with how many floors?
We tell you: a 25-storey building!
Those who walk in it have the feeling that they are going to touch the clouds and, thus, become a child again!
