Gordon Bombay Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I wonder what this means for the Northern Kentucky one that's long been touted, but never particularly close to reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 So expensive to ride a Ferris wheel. I can justify the cost of $12 or $15 per person when you can go up the Carew Tower for $2.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondyRidesOn Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The Northern Kentucky one wasn't approved by the Army Corp of Engineers because of it comprising the strength of the levee and flood wall. Honestly, a permanent ferris wheel on the Ohio side of the river would look fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, a permanent ferris wheel on the Ohio side of the river would look fantastic. They worked that out a while back. They're going to build a pier off the floodwall then put the wheel on that instead: https://local12.com/news/local/newport-officials-approve-sale-of-bonds-for-skywheel I haven't heard anything else as far as when construction is supposed to start though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
