Giant Wheel
Ok, for those of you who have been to the park this past weekend (lucky-ducks!!) What are your thought on the new home of Giant Wheel?

The Giant Wheel looked like it really belongs in its new home. The view is spectacular, both of the lake and the park. The biggest difference is the amount of wind when you are stopped on the top. Made you think twice about hoping everything was tightened up when it was reassembled.

Is the new paint job the same colors as the old or did they change? Did they put in a new lighting plan or keep the old one?
It is home. I don't remember the lighting well enough, but I think the pattern didn't go to the edge last year, as it does now.

The new home for the Giant Wheel is fantastic. It was nice to see such a classic ride look brand-spanking new with its fresh paint job. The view in all directions is great. The seating areas facing out towards the beach on the back side of the ride were also a nice touch (though the new fencing does detract somewhat from the pleasant view--even though the new fencing is considerably more attractive than what had been there before).
To answer your question, Tim, I believe the paint colors remained the same, but, not having seen it at night, cannot comment about the lights.

Hopefully with a new home, maybe it will get more riders than in the past. The one thing that i can remember and that would always get to me is that every night there would always be numerous lights burned out on the ride and they only had it lit up on one side!!!

Er, the Giant Wheel only has a lighting package on one side. Or at least it only *had* a lighting package on one side; for all I know they could have added lights to the back side, but I kind of doubt it...
