Image title | The "Texas Star," the Ferris wheel at the Texas State Fair in Dallas, Texas. As of the date of this photograph in 2012, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in North America.
The structure has an overall height of 212 feet (64.6 m) and can carry up to 264 passengers in its 44 gondolas. The Texas Star was built by SDC Corp. in Reggio Emilia, Italy, at a cost of $2.2 million; it was shipped to Dallas for its debut at the 1985 State Fair of Texas. From 1985 to 2007, it was illuminated at night by 16,000 incandescent red, white, and blue turbolites. In 2008, the incandescent system was replaced by a longer-lasting, more energy-efficient LED system. |
