The Rio Star is a cantilevered observation wheel in the Santo Cristo neighborhood, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With an overall height of 88 metres,[1][2] from 2019 to November 2022, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in Latin America; however, it lost the title with the completion of the 91-meter Roda Rico, located in the city of São Paulo.[3]
