Hurricane

The large Ferris Wheel is named ジャイアントホイール (pronounced Jaiantohoīru) in Japanese.  I would translate that as Giant Wheel, but the park's website lists the name as Giant Peeter on its English pages.  It is 85 metres (280 feet) tall and is one of the ten tallest Ferris Wheels in Japan.  It is built on top of the tall hill at the back of the park, so it provides some amazing views from the top of the ride.  The wheel never stops rotating, and it takes about 20 minutes to complete one revolution.
