I agree. People would definately be doing that.

It'd be neat to have some kind of high thrill flat, but I still think a ferris wheel is a good investment!!! :D

Make it like The Wonder Wheel at Coney with the rocking cars on the inside or still cars on the outside.

That'd be a great ride! I've always wanted to ride that. Unfortunately, it probably won't happen. Maybe this is how GAm could claim some sort of record. Build the largest and/or fastest ferris wheel! :lol:

there were at least 3-4 Tripple Wheels. SFGAm, PGA, Interama in South America and there was one in Japan or Taiwan or somthing like that called Hydra. I think there may have been more, but they are now all defunct.

i really like the idea of a floorless roller coaster
or mabye a giga?
i think a ferris wheel would be nice
but as long as its not like the one at navy pier
too big
too slow
zzzzzzzz
i think they need to have a comeback of shockwave
get rid of go carts, take some of the parking lot land and put itno a place to construct
then put parking lots further back there
then bam right where the shuttle was

A triple or double wheel ferris wheel would be neat to see and ride. Also, when on ferris wheels is a great time to view the park at a high point.

I would love to see Six Flags add a Ferris Wheel in Deja Vu's spot, if only for the irony...
