A Waterfront Amusement Park With A Sky Bar And Giant Ferris Wheel Is Scheduled To Open In Mississippi In 2022

Next year, life in Mississippi will be much more amusing – and that’s because the state’s only amusement park is set to open in 2022! The waterfront park will boast all sorts of fun features, including a bar in the sky and a giant Ferris wheel.

If everything goes according to schedule, the state's newest amusement park will open at the Margaritaville Resort in Biloxi by next summer.

The park is a fitting addition to the resort, which is no stranger to fun.

Margaritaville is already home to a rooftop water park and a 55,000-square-foot entertainment center that offers everything from video games to a zip-line roller coaster.

Once open, both guests and non-guests will be able to access the amusement park, as is currently the case with the entertainment center.

Also like the entertainment center, the amusement park will have something for everyone, including a 20-story-high Sky View Ferris wheel.

Not your typical Ferris wheel, the Sky View Ferris wheel has a $12-million-price-tag! It will be similar to the one found in Atlanta. However, unlike the cityscape views afforded to riders in Atlanta, the Biloxi Ferris wheel will offer views of the barrier islands that lie just off the coast.

The amusement park will also have an Aerobar, which is a bar that’s 137 feet in the air!

Created by the European company Aerophile, Aerobar is a circular bar that starts off on the ground and slowly rotates as it climbs high into the sky. It can accommodate 16 passengers and a bartender, so you’ll be able to enjoy drinks as satisfying as the panoramic, 360-degree views.

Watch the video below for a closer look at Margaritaville's new park.
