    Never been on the ride before…but when I am 90 i’ll ride it.
    Then after if I have to change my shorts..I wont know if it from age and being scared.

    No. I truly doubt that I will look anywhere near as good as The Wonder Wheel does at 90 years of age. I also doubt I will have as many people wanting to ride me at 90 either!

    In 90 years more hot ass has sat on and gone up and down on the ride then I will ever see. Mad props to the wonder wheel for all the dry humpin.
    I WONDER if the wheel is poppin viagra?? I WONDER if Wonder bread was the corporation the ride was named after or the backer. White bread, Ahh. The perfect snack for a honky cracker such as myself!!!

    I spent some time last Sunday pondering this magnificent Ferris Wheel. What beautiful lines. What vibrant colors. Took quite a number of photos. It’s an icon because it draws you in, fascinated. And it is so hard sometimes to turn your gaze away.

    I recall a ride from my youth that is probably older, but definitely not as good looking. I’m pretty sure it was cheaper too. It gave a pretty good ride, but sometimes you would get a burning sensation for a few days afterwards.

    We called it Mrs. Fisher. Tim Should remember…
