This was a very odd looking wheel with the real attraction being the swinging/rolling cars. Despite only 2 revolutions, I had a ball riding this wheel. I loved it when the cars rolled over that little bump in the track and your picked up speed like mad. The look of the wheel is interesting as well. The entire wheel seems to be made from iron I and L beams. I always like to refer to this wheel as "I Beams Revenge" because, well, thats what it is! An odd thing about the gondolas is that the seating arangements are all facing in one direction, as opposed to a normal Ferris Wheel gondola where occupants face each other. I seem to also remember chicken wire covering the open areas of the car. Definately an old school way of keeping people from falling out. A cool fact is that the Wonder Wheel is actually a landmark, along with the Cyclone. Its a bit short for the price but its such a unique ride that you cant not ride.
