Has anyone ever actually ridden it? I know the accident happened before this area was actually open/finished so it basically never got used before but I question if anyone breaking into the exclusion zone ever powered it up and turned it on.

Maybe after the war is over, not really a great idea to go to the place in the middle of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

You’re legitimately fine touring Chernobyl, if you clear it with the Ukrainian government. Radiation levels aren’t ideal, but they’re well within the tolerance of a day trip. Just avoid actively searching for radiation sources and you’ll be fine 999/1000 trips. Particularly on the Ferris wheel, tetanus and structural integrity are a greater concern. Which is to say, yeah, sure

The wheel is in Pripyat and I don’t think you’re gonna be touring the exclusion zone now.

I’ll prove you wrong, and I’ll bet you one kiss. Meet me at the wheel in six and a half months, nerd

If they decide to do so, one could say that they're S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Well if you do indeed decide to go, just try to stay safe comrade.
