America 250 Wheel Debuts at OSU Fair | Oklahoma City News

Oklahoma State Fair is rolling out its biggest yet: the 230-foot America 250 Wheel, the world’s largest portable observation wheel, opening Sept. 17 for 11 days to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. Nearly double the height of the old Sky Eye Wheel, each gondola highlights a U.S. president with historical tidbits — blending thrill with education. Weighing 700,000 pounds and requiring 11 trucks, 400 man-hours, and four days to assemble, it’s a logistical marvel designed to give visitors panoramic views and a fresh perspective on Oklahoma City.
