I was just wondering if anyone here has been theree to see it in person yet? I myself will be down there the last week in June to see it & ride it. It's a great looking Wheel, and from a distance, looks like James Strates' Kroon Wheel sorta, which is cool. What they need is some Fairground rides to go along with that SkyWheel, like a Freak Out or something, swinging out over the boardwalk. You guys know how i am on names, they could've called it something other than "SkyWheel". LOL 😇 ...such as MoonWheel possibly as it feels like it's taking you to the Moon & back down with it being so tall. I've seen a few people's videos of it on youtube with the lights on at night & looks really good lit up. Anyway, thought i'd ask & see how many here have already seen it in person or gonna go ride it this summer? Later

Hey Daniel-here is a link to the company that built RCS wheel and many others. The company used to be called Nauta Bussink.
