Although I can find no further information online about this beautiful ferris wheel, I can say that visiting it and riding on it was a treat, for sure!!! At 56' in height, the view of the surrounding area was marvelous!!! We visited early on a Saturday morning, before any crowds arrived, and the lack of crowds afforded us 11 turns of the wheel before we had to get off - and all for $1.00!!! Worthy of a visit if you're ever in the area . . .
