Ferris wheel to add to F1 attractions

In a first, a giant Ferris Wheel will add to the attractions at Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix. The 15th edition of the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix will feature a number of new attractions and among them will be the vending area at the Bahrain International Circuit’s (BIC) Formula 1 Village that will feature a gigantic Ferris wheel and a star flyer, the BIC said in a statement.

“Come March 28 to 31, the fun and excitement will be “limitless” for all, especially with what BIC has in store for this truly special occasion. “Furthermore, there is a Venetian Carousel for young children to enjoy, plus “The Mummy’s Tomb” haunted house for those brave enough to take on a little fright.

“The Ferris Wheel and Star Flyer can be seen from miles away. Their colossal stature can be intimidating for some, but both offer a unique kind of thrill that must be experienced by everybody,” the BIC added. The Ferris Wheel is 42 meters in height and it boasts 27 gondolas. The Star Flyer, meanwhile, towers at 60 meters height and it has 16 gondolas.

“This ride will make you feel like you are flying around like a bird in circles while being captivated by a magnificent view.”
