SkyWheel's 42 Swiss manufactured passenger gondolas are fully enclosed and climate controlled for year round comfort. The convex, blue-tinted glass enclosures are designed to be non-reflective and UV protective. Each gondola provides space for up to six passengers, although unrelated groups of riders are not required to share a gondola. One VIP gondola features extra amenities such as leather bucket seating and a glass floor.
