Pepsi Globe


Food and beverage giant Pepsi has announced it will create America’s largest Ferris wheel in New Jersey. The 287-foot-tall “Pepsi Globe” will be incorporated into Meadowlands Xanadu, a unique sports, leisure, shopping and family entertainment destination in East Rutherford.

Pepsi will offer unique interactive experiences during the Pepsi Globe ride, which will last approximately 25 minutes for a full revolution and offer sweeping vistas of the New York skyline and the Hudson River. Groups of up to 20 visitors each will enter 26 glass-enclosed, climate controlled capsules for the ride of a lifetime.

The 287 foot (87 meter) Pepsi Globe is still somewhat of a minnow on a global scale. The Star of Nanchang in China currently holds the title at 525ft (160m) but the Singapore flyer is set to become the world’s tallest Ferris wheel at 541ft (165m) when it opens in March this year. The London eye stands at 443ft (135m).
