"Kansas City's New Ferris Wheel: A Skyline Spectacle and Inspection Woes"
TL;DR
Kansas City's new Ferris Wheel, located in the Westside neighborhood, offers panoramic views of the city skyline, although the doors of the gondolas partially obstruct the view of the skyline. The ride lasts 12-15 minutes and costs $17 for adults and $13.50 for children. The gondolas are climate-controlled, and there is a mini golf course called Pennway Putt nearby. The KC Wheel and Pennway Putt are part of the larger entertainment district, Pennway Point, which is set to open in 2024. The Ferris Wheel has already become an iconic attraction in the city, and the lights on the wheel can be programmed for special shows and events.
