I know the long time owner of this ride. She just sold it but it will still be touring. I've worked on it during the winter, painting and rewiring the lights. Actually ran it for her at the Tampa State Fair ..... once ( I DON'T do rides, but she was in a bind and I was there..........
) It is all ran manually too, nothing is pre-programmed. 6 buttons,3 toggle switches and two rheostats just to start it each ride. Dead man switch too of course. It spins in 3 different axis at once and you couldn't get me to ride it for $100.00

Scott that looks like a real puker of a ride, lol. I'm wary of very large Ferris wheels, stopping on top, swaying sideways, creaking.

It IS! It actually has a dedicated hose/water system just to wash it down when that happens! hehe.... a "carny" secret...... sometimes , on these type of rides, the operator actually TRIES to make the riders puke. I know while I was running this, a friend of mine works on this all year, and him and the others would bet in the morning on how many pukers they/we would have that day! If he was running "short" he would whip em around for up to 6/7 minutes (normal ride 2/3 minutes), hang them upside down spinning, quick reverse and then a full speed run...... worked every time
