Star upgrades

Melbourne Star Observation Wheel’s (MSOW) technical team will execute a planned upgrade to the attraction’s LED lightshow from August 31 to September 9.

The project will cost more than a million dollars to re-design and manufacture a more energy-efficient and impressive lightshow.

The upgrade will be implemented in conjunction with Melbourne’s leading lighting engineers. MSOW’s regular flight schedule will not operate during the planned 10-day upgrade.

While MSOW is temporarily closed to guests the attraction will offer visitors 10 days of giveaways via a social media campaign.

The major prize will allow local schools, sports clubs and community groups to have their colours light up the new LED show during the September school holidays.
