wdyt waterfront ferris wheel?

[jennlin]

it's being built up right now...supposed to be air conditioned / heated cabins, sits 4-6 or something...and i think it's about 10 bucks a person...

[jennlin]

i think it's way too expensive and nobody is going to ride it more than once, really.

[jennlin]

and 4-6 is stupid..i like oldschool duo seated ones...there's no smooching involved in a 4-6 person cabin.

*whispers* it's not for you, it's for the tourists. if you really want to go, wait till next summer and I'd be wiling to bet you money that there will be a groupon to ride it for like 85% off.

I don't have strong feelings either way.

I think it will look nice and I am sure I will ride it once, and more so if we have visitors.

I would ride on it once I think.

And I think 10 dollars is pretty typical? I don't know. I feel like that's what we paid to ride the ferris wheel down in Irvine.

FWIW it's about $34/person (after the exchange rate) for the super basic, standard ticket to ride the London Eye

love this!! also, i've only been on 1 two person ferris wheel. the others have the super big things.

I have a fear of falling, so non-enclosed ferris wheels terrify me. These are also scary, but more tolerable. I think it's a good idea .

I didn't even know that a ferris wheel was being built...

It'll be something to take the ILs to next time they visit, so whatev's.

It's not for ME? WHAT?!? But EVERYTHING is for me.... *stomps feet*

hmm... it would be a fun date night. when I heard about all the plans, I think it's pretty smart. and anti-tunnel as I am (only because I have fond memories of driving along 99 and love the view), I do like that downtown will be more connected to the waterfront.

husky - good call on the groupon! I'd totally do that.

I thought the ticket price was higher, at least $14? Well, I like that it's enclosed cabins as I always feel like I'll fall right out of the open ones (those old school with the puny bar? I easily could slip out and under, eep!). However, it's too big and I don't care for it. andplusalso I hate the viaduct removal. I'm going to miss the free view that EVERYONE got to enjoy from the top, and the only free/cheap parking in downtown that was under it!
