The SkyStar Wheel, in the distance, formed a round frame around a palm tree.

The SkyStar Wheel had been installed at the eastern end of the Band Concourse in Golden Gate Park.

The SkyStar Wheel rose very high above Golden Gate Park. Notice the ladders that extended from the center outward toward each car.

A sign silk-screened to the window told how much each ticket cost, and how to purchase a ticket if nobody was present from which to buy one.

A few movable signs were stood together and said, "Enter Here," and "Stroller and Bike Parking Here."

A closer view of the cars with their doors on the side and surrounded by windows.

The entry was up a few stairs and into a maze to await boarding.

A canvas sign on the front of the SkyStar Wheel read:

SkyStar
Golden Gate Park
150 Years
San Francisco Recreation & Parks
SF Parks Alliance

A sign posted at the top of the stairs clearly spelled out "Passenger Restrictions." Among them was, "No guests subject to claustrophobia."
