A loading dock for a motorboat cruise type ride would have been kind of cool for the kiddies since they're going to get rid of the kid stuff where the beer garden is going. That's just me though (I have a prejudice against Ferris Wheels in general).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-35173037247949283832008-10-12T13:59:00.000-07:002008-10-12T13:59:00.000-07:00Let it begin... - is that ti be a new catchphrase....Let it begin... - is that ti be a new catchphrase..<BR/><BR/>Anyway. It's nice to know that this is happening. Hearing that it is going down to be refurbished is quite reassuring. Particularly as it is to be such a long road. Thanks for mentioning that. I feel so detached from that side of the world, being back home in the UK, but I still like to get my bits and pieces to catch me up on the progress.

I am not sure but my thoughts are that it may not be the best choice as the sun wheel was more known for the "special" smoking going on inside by the teenagers. On second thought Fun Wheel might just be perfect...lol RWRAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
