Enchanted Kingdom Revives Iconic Wheel of Fate

Enchanted Kingdom reopened its legendary Wheel of Fate on March 21. The ferris wheel returned as part of the park’s “The Legend Shines Again” campaign. The ride had been closed for four months after the park’s 30th‑anniversary celebration. Officials upgraded the wheel with a new theme, smoother motion, and modern ride‑system technology.

The Wheel of Fate lifts riders 130 feet above Santa Rosa. It offers panoramic views of the city. At night, the wheel lights up the entire park. Guests have enjoyed the ride since the park opened in 1995. It remains a favorite for families and multigenerational visitors.
