I noticed today, the Ferris wheel at UD Town is being dismantled, all the pods were off.
One of Udon Thani's first class tourist attractions bites the dust.

For those who travel to London ...... The London Eye Ferris Wheel costs GBP 18.80p for Foreigners ........not sure if it's the same for Brits, as none have ever been able to save up enough to try :roll:

Fantastic experience and well worth the money.

Ferris Wheel - Dismantled

New subject line perhaps more accurate?

I saw that thing and thought there's no way any of us are going on it. Strange config on the power setup, dodgy looking way to "anchor" the structure.

It would start raining with lightning not too far off in the distance, and there'd be someone up top on a mobile phone, and the staff would have little care in the world.

Why not just hand out lightning rods? :badteeth:
