Description
"Mikey's Fun Wheel II" ---Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, CA
Is a digital rendition, created from my original Mikey's Fun Wheel photograph. By adjusting color hue, saturation, and adding a posterized effect, I was able to change the background to a colorful evening twilight sky—complemented by yellow-pink-roses in the foreground—adding beauty and drama to this fanciful scene.
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. (-:
