Go rent Beverly Hills Cop III. The Sky Whirl at the Paramount's Great America park is featured prominently in the movie. Same ride.

Maybe that was the 3rd Sky Whirl for the other Marriott park that never happened?

I've got Fright Fest footage that I took from 1999 that shows it briefly in the background. I will see if I can pull it off of DVD, and convert it to AVI for you to see. Its kind of strange to see the park 6 years ago compared to now.

The picture can't be of that 3rd one though because it is at a park somewhere. The spinning of the ride didn't go that fast. It was like a ferris wheel speed. Those trees look like the one at SFGAm even though it might not be.

Thanks for showing that site. I was looking for it.

From this picture it looks like the same triple wheel from Buenos Aires. Take a look http://members.aol.com/interama/wheel04.htm Plus there was another triple wheel at Hershey Park. The one that was at Hershey Park had blue arms as seen in this picture http://members.aol.com/interama/wheel05.htm Those are the only other triple wheels I know of but I doubt those other two are the third Marriott triple wheel.

Could have been Hydra, though that was recently scrapped I'm told.

The pictures on that sight occasionaly are just stock photos.

Also if you look carefully at it people are visible in the cages.

Hi,

The photo in that ad is of the defunct Sky Whirl / Triple Wheel at PGA in Santa Clara. The ad is out of date because the ride was scrapped is not available for sale.

Also, the rides at Hersheypark and in Buenos Aires were doubles, not triples. There were two other triples: one in Japan and one in Korea. Both are also defunct now.
