Cosmo Clock 21 (コスモクロック21,   Kosumo Kurokku 21) is a giant Ferris wheel that is part of the Cosmo World amusement park located in the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama, Japan. It was the largest Ferris wheel in the world from its completion in 1989 until the construction of the Tempozan Ferris Wheel in Osaka in 1997. Shortly after this, the wheel was renovated and placed on a higher base, bringing it up to the same height as its successor. Cosmo Clock 21 is prominently featured in the climactic battle of the 1992 Godzilla film Godzilla vs. Mothra.


History

Heisei era

Godzilla vs. Mothra

Battra and Godzilla fight near Cosmo Clock 21 in Godzilla vs. Mothra

During the final battle between Godzilla, Mothra, and Battra in the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama, Godzilla used his nuclear pulse to knock Mothra into Cosmo Clock 21, then fired his atomic breath at the base in an attempt to topple the structure on top of her. Before the giant Ferris wheel could crush Mothra, Battra flew overhead and grabbed it. He then lifted the wheel into the air and dropped it on Godzilla, trapping him in the mess of wires and metal, giving the two divine moths an opening to bombard him with their rays.
