About Mickey's Fun Wheel

The new gondola wheel that just replaced the former Sun Wheel on May 8th, 2009. It consists of a giant Mickey head where the sun was, new lighting effects, a red-painted color scheme on the wheel, and with gondolas painted with the Disney character faces. It matches the Victorian theme of the nearby Toy Story Mania and Games of the Boardwalk. -- Last edited by Max LaZebnik

I unfortunately went in one of the carriages on tracks and hated it. Grimaced everytime the ride stopped cause the carriage would swing up and back making me feel so sick. - Jadzia Dax

Mickey's Fun Wheel is the exact same ride as the Sun Wheel but with a Mickey face instead of a sun. They also re painted the wheel and added Disney characters to the gondolas. The waiting area unfortunately is still bland looking. It's relaxing ride where you can get nice views of the Disneyland resort. The Swinging gondolas are neat but have longer lines than the stationary ones. - Manny Barron
