- Derek FromsonMarch 31, 2013On a nice day, this is a great way to see practically the entire Southern California coastline from high above. Great fun, especially if you're playing host to out-of-town guests, or if you are one!
Dave LeachJanuary 18, 2013Solar panels you see mounted around the park help power the Pacific Wheel and its evening light show. The current Wheel was installed in 2008, but the 1996 original was the world's first solar wheel.Upvoted Mar 27

ANovember 23, 2018A little pricey but a long ride with stops at the top to take in the views and get pictures. Definitely worth it.
ᴡ RosarioSeptember 3, 2014The world only solar powered Ferris Wheel! Great fun place. Hang with friends, eat, get beers and enjoy the view. Awesome sunsets!
Moe ShehataFebruary 28, 2016The pacific wheel is quite beautiful at night, adds a little something to the city.
Chester Paul SgroiJune 4, 2012This ride costs $5 per person which gives you about ten minutes riding the wheel itself.

"Get there early, when the park first opens. It's the furthest away from the main entrance and it's easily the best ride at Universal."

"The 3d adds a nice touch to the already classical ride at Universal Orlando. The glasses are real nice! Arrive early to avoid the lines, buy your ticket online and use the early entry perk."
