I thought I would feel better about riding this one since they are gondolas that are completely covered. No fear of falling out. This ferris wheel never stops, so it goes at a snail's pace to allow people to get on and off. There were several points where it felt like we had stopped.
The first couple of minutes were exciting for me. I was trying to get as much of the view in as possible. But the higher we went the more anxious I became. The feeling that I had lost total control over my destiny kept eating at my mind. I just sat quietly and tried to focus on the view. There was the ocean and port off in the near distance. My husband was pointing out his favorite houses below. The sun was on the horizon. As we reached the bottom safely, my husband wondered how much the ferris wheel shakes during an earthquake. Ha! I am glad that thought didn't occur to me while we were at the top. Our last strong earthquake was May 2008.

Ha! I rode a Ferris wheel once. Yep, only once. I was scared silly!
Wonderful photo, though!
I haven't been on one; too scared even in my childhood. Gondolas I can handle, just like you.
Have a good week.
I love ferris wheels. Great photo.
This is impressively large yet looking delicate. I see a bicycle wheel up in the shy, as if the bike is inverted and the wheel is touching the sky. A stunning sepia shot!
Very cool. Great photo.
the angle is perfect!
My husband hates ferris wheels. Death traps, he says.
thanks everyone for coming by.
EG, Ewok and curtis, glad I am not the only one who doesn't like them.
I thought I could this one would be fine. But after riding it, I decided I don't like Gondola Ferries either.

This is a really fine picture. I love the angle. Very powerful.
Holy cow, that's a big Ferris Wheel! The view must be worth the momentary fear of falling out, what with the height of that monster. Sweet!
"my husband wondered how much the ferris wheel shakes during an earthquake."
