Phoenixville expects to cut the ribbon on its Phoenix Wheel, the oldest Ferris wheel in existence in early June 2026. The 133-year-old Phoenix Wheel delighted thousands of visitors to Asbury Park, the crown jewel of the Jersey Shore, for nearly a century from 1895 to 1988. Steelworkers in Phoenixville originally crafted the Wheel's steel components in 1893.
