Winter sunset at the beach! - a photo on Flickriver

            Santa Monica Pier and ride the landmark Ferris wheel over the Pacific—the world’s only solar-powered Ferris wheel at the West Coast’s only waterfront family amusement park! The historic tradition of amusements and thrill rides at the Pier that started in 1916 continues today in beautiful Pacific Park, and with your pass you can enjoy unlimited entertainment on 12 different rides.

The Pacific Wheel, erected in 1996, was the world’s first and only solar powered ferris wheel making cameo appearances in many Hollywood films including A Night at the Roxbury, Titanic, and Thank You for Smoking. The old wheel, has been auctioned off on eBay for over $130,000 dollars. The lucky recycler was Oklahoma City real-estate developer, Grant Humphreys. In time, Humphreys plans to incorporate the wheel into a mixed use residential community.

The Pacific Ferris Wheel at the Santa Monica Pier in California took her last spin on May 5th of 2008 before crews dismantled the sun-faded behemoth piece by piece to make way for a shiny new wheel. And shiny it is, boasting 160,000 LED lights that will bring glittering visual performances to Santa Monica’s evening sky. The solar panels used for the old wheel will remain at the pier, providing clean energy for the 90-foot ride and its 800 passengers per hour.
