Indiana Beach Boardwalk Resort in Monticello, Indiana, has begun a major renovation project on the Giant Gondola Wheel in preparation for the park’s 90th anniversary in 2016.

The Giant Wheel, an iconic Indiana Beach ride, will be dismantled later this month and sent to the ride’s manufacturer, Chance Rides of Wichita, Kansas.

The refurbishment will be completed over a four-month period.

“The Giant Wheel refurbishment is just one project of many that will be completed before next season,” said John Collins, general manager of Indiana Beach Boardwalk Resort.

“This off-season promises to be an exciting and busy one under the new ownership of Apex Parks Group. Watch for additional announcements in the near future as we prepare for the upcoming 2016 season.”
