In the heart of Macau’s Cotai Strip, between two glittering hotel towers dressed in Hollywood-style neon, floats a giant 8. It is not a mere Ferris wheel, but a scar left by two blazing planets crashing into the building’s facade. This is the Golden Reel — the world’s only figure-8 ferris wheel and the iconic soul of Studio City, Asia’s premier movie-themed integrated resort.
Unlike traditional Ferris wheels with their single, simple circles, the Golden Reel draws inspiration from Hollywood blockbuster disaster scenes. Architects designed the track as two overlapping “8”s, creating the illusion of a massive steel planet tearing through the sky and wedging itself between two towers. This bold, deconstructivist design generates astonishing visual tension while symbolizing luck and infinity — the “8” being the luckiest number in Chinese culture.
