The Ferris wheel, which Rostov-on-Don can be proud of, was originally planned to be launched by the May holidays so that residents and guests of the city could enjoy magnificent views all summer. But when the supporting structures were erected, a marriage was discovered in them. To admit that Rostovites risked their lives while skiing was impossible.
Builders had to dismantle the building to the ground. New parts were ordered in Germany. The work was carried out at an accelerated pace. And the new Ferris wheel in Rostov-on-Don was launched two weeks ahead of the scheduled deadline for September 3.
