May 4, 2009 – The Mickey’s Fun Wheel Attraction Opens in Disney’s California Adventure
“Sail up and over the beaming face of Mickey Mouse aboard this spin-sational Ferris wheel!”
On May 4, 2009, the Mickey’s Fun Wheel attraction opened in Disney’s California Adventure. The original attraction, named the Sun Wheel, was closed on October 13, 2008 for this remodeling. The attraction includes 24 gondolas: 8 that are stationary, and 16 that swing and glide on the rails. It is one of only two “wonder wheel” style of Ferris wheels still operating in the United States. Each gondola gives guests a view of Paradise Bay during the nine-minute ride.
