What has 45 gondolas, goes 1.5 revolutions each minute and is the most popular ride at the State Fair of Texas?

The answer has to be the Texas Star® Ferris wheel, the largest Ferris wheel in North America.

Built in Italy, the wheel debuted in Fair Park in 1985. More than 15 employees staff the Texas Star®, which carries riders some 20 stories high. On a clear day, those on the Texas Star® can see the downtown Fort Worth skyline some 40 miles away.

During the State Fair of Texas, the Texas Star® shines under the wattage of 16,000 incandescent red, white, and blue turbolites. You’ll find the Texas Star® Ferris wheel at the far south end of the Midway.
