After losing the title of “World’s Largest Aquarium” to China’s Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, Singapore’s Singapore Flyer has also been surpassed by Las Vegas’ “High Roller” in the category of “World’s Tallest.” The “High Roller” Ferris wheel, which opened on March 31, stands 168 meters tall, takes 30 minutes to complete one rotation, and features a total of 28 gondolas that can accommodate 1,120 passengers simultaneously.

The “High Roller” Ferris wheel is about 3 meters taller than Singapore’s Singapore Flyer. It has 28 air-conditioned gondolas, each capable of holding 40 people, with a full rotation taking 30 minutes—meaning it can carry up to 2,240 passengers an hour for a bird’s-eye view of Las Vegas. Additionally, the gondolas are equipped with audiovisual systems, so in addition to enjoying a 360-degree panoramic view of Las Vegas, riders can also listen to music and watch videos during the ride.
