Скачать или смотреть "THE CONEY ISLAND WONDER WHEEL"

Just a brief description of one of my favorite vintage rides ever. This is the famous landmark "Wonder Wheel" Ferris Wheel. It is one of the oldest operating ferris wheels in the world (1920's or 30's, I think). An original, with only one copy out there (Disney's Fun Wheel in California). It is known as an "Eccentric Ferris Wheel" because of the firm commissioned to build it and it's unique layout of of carriages or gondolas. You have 8 stationary that travel the entire perimeter & height of the wheel, and 16 swinging that travel on tracks in and out of the inner wheel as the entire structure turns. Along with the Cyclone roller coaster, it too is a must ride upon every visit to Coney Island...
