Description
"Mikey's Fun Wheel" ---Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, CA
Located inside Disney's California Adventure Park, on Paradise Pier, Mickey's Fun Wheel is one of only 2 �wonder wheel� Ferris wheels still operating in the United States. This crazy thrill ride features swinging baskets that rapidly race and sway along isolated loops, while the giant outer wheel slowly turns.
For the less adventurous---saner passengers can opt to ride inside the safer outer baskets, which turn more sensibly, as with a traditional ferris wheel.
Yes, I did brave this attraction. Naturally, I put my trust in the slow-turning baskets because my 2-year old grandson, Isaac, with me. If the truth were told, Isaac would have preferred one of the faster baskets---had he met the minimum height requirement. (-:

Such a fun image, Doug! It makes me want to ride the roller coaster in the background! l/f

Thanks Fiona… I felt daring enough just to ride the Fun Wheel. By comparison the roller coaster looked somewhat suicidal. ((-:
