4. Mickey’s Fun Wheel – Paradise Pier
Mickey’s Fun Wheel can hardly be accused of being inconspicuous. After all, its giant Mickey face can be seen from great distances. That said, it’s often – though unintentionally - considered part of the background and it’s usually California Screamin’ that gets a lot of the attention. But this big wheel offers equally-fantastic views at a calm speed, with the option of stationary or swinging gondolas. It’s considerably higher than its neighbouring roller coaster too, and at least you won’t be screamin’.
