Wait, what?! Is there a Ferris Wheel in Times Square??? YUP.
Times Square’s Latest Attraction offers amazing sky-high views!
It debuted today, Wednesday August 25th, and we were amongst the first to ride it 🤩
Spinning 110 feet into the air, offers a UNIQUE view of Times Square: it definitely add excitement and wonder to one of the most iconic places in the world.
During pandemic, I often walked by an unrecognizable Times Square… New York is now back!!!
Well, we never left anyway 😉
“It’s time for us to stop dreaming and to start doing, and we’re starting to do things in Times Square,” said Times Square Alliance President Tom Harris. “An empty Times Square was symbolic of New York City’s shutdown. And now we want to be a symbol of resilience and recovery.”
For those who are on the fence about vaccination: if you got a shot between August 1 and September 12, you can show proof and get a free ride. “Too bad” for me that I got mine in April 😂. They are offering 100 free rides a day!
