The Ferris Wheel is the main ride at Old Town, the entertainment district on West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee, Florida. It replaced an earlier Ferris wheel that was removed in 2014, when most of Old Town's rides were taken out for a renovation.
The wheel was custom-made in Italy and stands 86 feet tall. It has 18 gondolas, each seating six riders, and gives views over Kissimmee and the surrounding area. It was part of the renovation that ended with Old Town's grand reopening in April 2019.
