A San Diego-based restaurant group is looking to elevate the dining experience at Balboa Park while maintaining social distance guidelines. The plan is to use a 148-foot Ferris wheel for diners to enjoy a meal.
If approved, the temporary fixture would be in place for approximately three months, taking just two weeks to assemble. It would be operated by Sky Views of America, the same company which operates the San Diego County Fair’s Grand Wheel, and there would be 36 gondolas which would seat up to eight people.
The company said it wanted to offer a new way for people to dine after many restaurants closed down in March due to the pandemic. Safety protocols would be enforced, including mandatory face coverings for passengers and staff. The gondolas also would be sanitized between each use.
