The Sky Whirl was always a relaxing ride.

I'm glad the park took the time to paint their 25th Anniversary logo on the bottom of the wheel's engine.

What also was nice was the fact that trees all grew up around Sky Whirl so that when you took off and when you landed you had a nice close encounter with some greenery.
