Ferris Wheel

What is the ferris wheel in Long Beach that you see on the web cam?

Ferris Wheel

it has many, many years since Long Beach has had a ferris wheel (the original Pike..or what was left of it...closed in the late 70%26#39;s). Off the top of my head...there is a ferris wheel located on Balboa Island (Newport Beach) and another on the Santa Monica pier. What web cam do you happen to be looking at?

A webcam that I think is on top of city hall is what it says. I get it to it by going to cruise-addicts.com.

first of all I did not write my first response very clearly....Long Beach has not had a ferris wheel since the original Pike era. I went on the website you provided but it was dark at the time so I was not able to see anything.

If you are (and if my bearings are correct) I believe what you are seeing is the top part of The Pike ';Roller Coaster Bridge';, it spans over the roadway and was made to look like the old roller coaster that use to be a huge attraction down in Long Beach years ago (to see a full pic. of it go to the following website: http://www.gossamersf.com/projects.html

It%26#39;s anew Ferris Wheel. It%26#39;s ok, fairly good views form the top.

why thank you VickiSoCal for the information (and I apologize for the mis-information tmcipp). I will now have to speak to my friends in Long Beach and ask them why they have never mentioned it before.
