Myrtle Beach SkyWheelJune 6, 2013
Situated as the centerpiece of the 1.2 mile-long Oceanfront Boardwalk and Promenade the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel is the first observation wheel of its kind in the United States
Social News NetworkFebruary 14, 2013
Along with the A/C gondolas, this wheel has one million lights, creating quite a light show at night. If you're afraid of heights, the breath-taking view will have no problem distracting you

Fun "ferris" wheel. Carts have A/C. Great view of the beach during day or night. Longer lines at night: Discounts for military members

Always busy but go during the fireworks show every Wednesday on the boardwalk!

Photo Tip: If you want to take photos inside the gondolas on the ride, take a black t-shirt with you, turn your flash off, and get someone to hold the t-shirt behind your head to block out the glare.

Photo Tip: Use a circular polarizer filter to reduce the glare inside the gondolas for the best photos you can capture.

We went on at night and it was nice but you probably have better views during the day or at sunset. There is also a self serve ticket machine out front if you don't want to stand in the ticket line.

Great view of the Grand Strand! Stop here and take it all in!
Matt CasonJuly 22, 2013
Everyone has to do this once or more if up to it. Great view and comfortable gondolas. Worth the wait and price.

Coupons available in the books or use your vmb card for a discount. Once is enough. It was fun, especially on a rainy day!

I'd never get on the damn thing (too scary), but I love watching it change colors at night!
Missy ThompsonJuly 30, 2014
Great views, and nice comfy cool gondolas. Worth it. And very little wait mid day.

Air conditioned pods. VIP skips the line, gets a gift bag and extra long ride.

It's fun. It goes slow so if you are prone to motions sickness you will be ok (except while you wait for it to start).

After being on the high roller in Las Vegas nothing compares... 14 per person little steep!
