The Giant Wheel, known as the Big Wheel from 2012 to 2024, is an 150-foot-tall Ferris wheel at Six Flags Great Adventure, located in Adventure Alley. It opened with the park in 1974.
The Giant Wheel was one of the opening day attractions at Great Adventure. At some point, it was renamed the Big Wheel. In March 2024, it was announced it would be returning to its original name for the park's 50th anniversary.[1]
