Big Bird's Whirly Birdie

Big Bird's Whirly Birdie is a family-friendly mini Ferris wheel in Sesame Street Safari of Fun.

Big Bird's Whirly Birdie is a gentle spinning ride for young visitors: small gondolas circle in a tight loop and give children a nice sense of height without pushing them toward a major thrill ride. With the Sesame Street setting, it feels more like a playful breather than a classic fairground ride.
