Crews work to finish erecting a massive Ferris Wheel in Golden Gate Park

The opening of the Ferris Wheel was delayed for months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A new Ferris wheel in Golden Gate Park is set to open next week, ending a delay that lasted months.

The 150-feet-high attraction is set to open October 21.

The "SkyStar wheel" was built for the park's 150th anniversary in April. But, like so many other events, the opening had been postponed because of the pandemic.

Tickets cost $10 and must be reserved online.
