Chippewa Lake Park Chippewa Lake, Ohio October 7, 2002 Page Sixteen
The Ferris Wheel was situated so it would look out over Chippewa Lake. The only way you can get that view is by climbing the tree that now resides in the wheel. Note the freshly painted fire hydrant. It looks like they cleared all the shrubbery around all of the hydrants and repainted them after the recent ballroom fire in the park.
It's a new species of trees...Ferris-wheelus.
This Ferris Wheel is an older model that used a cable to spin the wheel rather than tires like most wheels today. Shane said that he read that this was known as the fastest Ferris Wheel in existence which means I would definitely not ride it! I like the bigger wheels but the rocking on the little ones makes me a little queasy.
