How we reviewed it
What owners say.

- 1 mixed
Paraphrased from public owner reviews. Each one links to where it was posted.
Brickset's reviewer calls it a well functioning Ferris wheel and a fun way to bring motion to younger builders. They like the cupcake cars, the candy accents and getting all three plushies, and rate the value as fair.
The same reviewer notes the cars can tip forward quite a bit, the ornate trim around the boarding area does not continue around the back, and questions why Liann appears in every set of this amusement park wave.
