In 2019, limeiqi created a small urban amusement park in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Spanning approximately 5,000 square meters, the park features a 30-meter-high custom-designed gondola Ferris wheel, a cake-themed disco, and a mini flying car. From the selection and layout of rides, every decision was carefully considered in light of the tropical rainforest’s climate, optimizing visitor flow and ultimately making the Ferris wheel a visual landmark for the park and surrounding area, achieving a stable flow of visitors.
Project Overview
- Project Year: 2019
- Client: City park operator in Malang
- Project Area: ~5,000 sqm, a compact urban site
- Key Equipment:
Project Challenges
Tropical Climate Adaptation
- High humidity, frequent rainfall, and year-round warm temperatures demanded corrosion-resistant and weatherproof designs.
Compact Space & Visitor Flow Management
- The 5,000 sqm footprint required meticulous layout planning to optimize circulation and ensure safety between rides.
Ferris Wheel as a City Landmark
- The 30-meter Ferris wheel had to integrate seamlessly with the park and surrounding urban landscape.
- Placement had to prevent obstructing sightlines, maintain spatial balance, and serve as a potential social media attraction.
Safety & Longevity
- High-usage rides demanded robust materials and precise engineering to ensure zero incidents.
- Maintenance planning had to be incorporated into the initial design for uninterrupted operation.
Our Solutions
Drawing on extensive project experience, limeiqi fully understands Malang’s local climate, terrain, and urban context. With deep expertise in city park projects, we are well aware of the challenges this site presents. The following measures were implemented to address these specific needs:
Climate Adaptation → Materials & Structural Strategy
All rides, including the Ferris wheel and Disco, were constructed using corrosion-resistant, weatherproof materials. Additional anti-humidity treatments ensured resilience against Malang’s tropical rainforest climate.
Compact Space → Layout Optimization
The Ferris wheel was strategically positioned at the intersection of the entrance and central park axis, maximizing visitor flow and visual impact without obstructing other attractions. Disco and bumper cars were placed to complement movement patterns, guaranteeing smooth circulation.
City Landmark Integration → Design & Visitor Experience
Ferris wheel aesthetics were aligned with the park’s theme to enhance the overall visual harmony. Surrounding spaces were designed for photo opportunities, amplifying the ride’s social media appeal and establishing a subtle “city landmark effect.”
Operational Results
Since 2019, the Ferris wheel and other rides have operated safely, with zero incidents reported.
Visitor flow is smooth, and the park experiences high engagement.
The 30-meter Ferris wheel has become a regional micro-landmark, attracting daily visitors for photos and social media posts.
The park itself has grown into a recognized local destination, maintaining consistent foot traffic and stable operational performance.
Visual Assets
