CoastersRZ Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 I am very excited for this news. I wish that this was staying all summer long. It will certainly be quite the site, and offer some really unique views. I think the admission price is also very fair. 4 Quote
Creed Bratton Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 That's really interesting! Most wouldn't think of a traveling Ferris Wheel/Sky Wheel. I know I didn't. It'll be interesting to see how many folks decide to ride. I'm wondering where in the park this will sit. 1 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Ferris wheels freak me out for some reason. I am taking a hard pass on this one. 1 Quote

Creed Bratton Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Awesome thanks @bengals fan for that link! In Coney's Facebook post, when they said it was soaring over the Ohio River, I pictured it further back in the park. 2 Quote

Kind of bummed it's not permanent. 1 Quote

jcgoble3 Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 I have no issue with the big wheels like this, but the smaller 12-seat wheels like the ones at Coney Island and Stricker's Grove make me legitimately nervous. They're the only rides left (of those I've encountered in my short travels) that do so. 2 Quote
CoastersRZ Posted May 21, 2018 Posted May 21, 2018 Construction on the Island Wheel is coming along. This is located in the parking lot, right next to the Twister water slide, and next to the East Pool Gate (which is an exclusive entrance for season pass holders. You can see this thing from the pool area, as well as along Lake Como (and likely from the 275 bridge). I can`t wait to see this thing at night. 4 Quote
