National Harbor Capital Ferris Wheel
Artist’s rendering/Brown Craig Turner Architects + Designers |
National Harbor developer Milt Peterson envisons a $15 million brightly lit 175-foot-tall Ferris wheel offering visitors 12- to 15-minute rides on the Potomac River.
The Center supports the Capital Wheel. The Army Corps of Engineers will have to issue a permit for the ferris wheel.
According to Jon Peterson, Milt’s son and the principal of the family’s real estate empire, the Peterson Cos:
“When people fly into National, they are going to be saying: ‘Holy cow. Look at that. I want to go there,’ ” This will just solidify that we will be the place to be in the Washington area. This just adds another item to our bag of tricks.”
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) believes the wheel further shows “that National Harbor is not just resting, with MGM coming or the things they’ve been doing with Tanger Outlets, but always upping their game.”
The company manufacturing the Capital Wheel, Chance Rides of Wichita, Kan., has produced dozens of amusement park Ferris wheels. As with the Gateway Arch in St. Louis or the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the wheels provide a different view of a city for visitors. The Capital Wheel will feature a VIP cabin that can be rented for weddings or celebrations and — at a cost of $1 million — special-effects lighting that can change colors to suit the season or holiday. The Wolfgang Puck restaurant chain will provide seasonal concessions at the base of the ride. (Wash Post, 115/2014)
