Ep. 168 - Is This Still a Fairground Classic: The LEGO Ferris Wheel Review

Ferris wheels are making a comeback in the LEGO world, and this episode takes a deep dive into one of the most beloved amusement park sets ever released. With a brand-new Friends theme Ferris wheel arriving in the LEGO lineup this summer and rumors of another classic fairground attraction returning in 2026, it felt like the perfect time to revisit one of the most iconic sets from the Creator Expert fairground collection. In this review, we take a close look at the 2015 Ferris Wheel set designed by Jamie Berard. From its massive footprint and unique minifigure lineup to the surprisingly simple build structure behind the scenes, we break down what makes this set so memorable more than a decade after its release. We also talk about where this build fits within the larger fairground series, how it compares to the other rides in the lineup, and whether the secondary market price still makes sense today for collectors. Is this classic amusement park centerpiece still worth adding to your collection, or has time and newer sets changed the equation? Watch the full review to see how it holds up today.
