ferris wheel claimed to be the highest in the country will be placed on top of the shopping center AEON Mall, which is currently under construction, in Jakarta Garden City in Cakung, East Jakarta.

The operational technical director of PT Momozen Amusement Indonesia, Supratman, said Tuesday that the amusement ride would be built with a 50-meter diameter and a height of 69 meters.

The ferris wheel will have 32 gondolas, each of which will be equipped with air conditioning and a luxurious interior.

“To ensure the safety, security and convenience of visitors, all construction materials have been brought in from Japan,” the company’s president director Gosuke Sakai said as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com.

The ferris wheel will also have anti-lightning protection.

The construction of the ferris wheel began in January and will be finished around August. The ferris wheel will welcome visitors in September. (vny/dmr)
