La Grande Roue de Montréal

This guide to La Grande Roue de Montréal centers on gondola number forty-two, the one cabin on Canada's tallest Ferris wheel built with a glass floor over the Old Port. It traces the wheel's opening in twenty seventeen for Montreal's three hundred seventy-fifth anniversary and the private investors who put up twenty-eight million dollars to raise it on anti-seismic foundations. At night, eighteen hundred LED lights switch on across the whole structure.
