Everyone guessed the correct answer that this ferris wheel was originally at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. Here is my daughter (on the right) riding in car #1. What a coincidence that the carnival opened on the same day that Michael died. I couldn't resist going and snapping a shot of something that has such a storied past. In my quest to verify that this was indeed Michael's ferris wheel, I found pictures and videos of it when the main body was painted orange. Now it has a fresh coat of green paint - so fresh that we couldn't even find any scratches on it!!
