What it takes to build Coachella's most recognizable icon
"La Grande XL, with 36 air-conditioned gondolas, travels to various events across the country, but its custom logo of a palm tree and roadrunner is exclusive to Coachella and Stagecoach."
"The wheel features more than half a million LED lights, and the installation of the logo is a detailed process that takes approximately six hours to complete."
"Some of the best photos of the wheel are taken at golden hour or sunset, capturing the stunning backdrop of mountains and palm trees."
La Grande XL, a Ferris wheel at Coachella, is transported annually on 20 semitrucks and assembled by 10 team members. Debuting in 2017, it replaced the original La Grande Wheel and has served hundreds of thousands of festivalgoers. Unique to Coachella and Stagecoach, it features a custom logo that lights up at night. The installation of the logo takes about six hours and is considered the final touch. Tips for photography include capturing the wheel during golden hour for the best visuals.
