The Luna Luna art amusement park features a Ferris wheel by Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Luna Luna, the world's first art amusement park, was the brainchild of Austrian artist André Heller and featured work by Salvador Dali, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, David Hockney, Joseph Beuys, Roy Lichtenstein and others. It opened in June 1987 in Hamburg, Germany and was seen by an estimated 300,000 visitors. Heller planned to travel the world with Luna Luna but circumstances led to its permanent closure. Canadian rapper and art collector Drake acquired the works, which were stored in 44 shipping containers in Texas. The pieces were reassembled and Luna Luna reopened to the public in a downtown Los Angeles warehouse in early 2024.
