A limited-time Ferris wheel is opening in New York City's Times Square Wednesday offering tourists and residents a new view of the city. The 110-foot-tall ride is in operation from Aug. 25 to Sept. 12. Times Square Alliance President Tom Harris called it "an incredible new way to enjoy Times Square from a completely new vantage point as we navigate these times and reflect on all we have been through this past year." Six people can ride in each gondola.
