Iconic ferris wheel welcoming guests to Branson

If you haven’t seen Branson from atop The Branson Ferris Wheel… you haven’t seen Branson.

Open almost two years at The Track Family Fun Parks – she stands @ Track 4’s location. The Branson Ferris Wheel was formerly Chicago’s iconic Navy Pier Ferris Wheel, ridden by nearly 17 million people from 1995 to 2015. Standing 150 feet tall, its 40 gondolas hold 240 riders, and it lights up the night with 16,000 LED lights. The Branson Ferris Wheel boasts spectacular views of the famed entertainment corridor and the picturesque Ozark Mountains.

“It’s a 15-minute ride with beautiful views of the Ozarks during the day,” Julie Wilson, the Marketing Director for The Branson Ferris Wheel, said.  “We have a fabulous show at night called “Electrify”- A Music and Light Spectacular!  We do a show every hour on the hour, check our website for show times.” “It displays an amazing array of lights,” she added. “We’ve added 16,000 LED fixtures holding over 144,000 individual lights! Each light can be computer-controlled to light up the Branson sky in an array of colors and animations. But there’s more than meets the eye here!”  Julie believes the Branson Ferris Wheel will charm Branson visitors just as it did for 20 years in Chicago.

“Come visit The Branson Ferris Wheel,” she said. “We’ve had a great couple of years. It’s become quite an icon.”
