"The nine-story wheel that's been at Pacific Park since 1996 was put up for sale Tuesday on eBay. The wheel overlooking the Pacific has 20 gondolas and is outlined in 5,392 light bulbs. It has provided some 3 million rides and has been seen in movies, on television and in numerous photos.
Next month, however, the Pacific Wheel will be replaced by a $1.5 million modern model."
I miss Santa Monica!!!!! I used to live there!!! that coaster is fun to just ride and watch the ocean. I moved from there in 2000 and Santa Monica is a great place to visit if youve never been there
No doubt the single roller coaster ride at Santa Monica is constrained because, well, it's on a pier (weight issues, people underneath, not a lot of area, etc.) but that is also its charm. coastergrotto dot com lists the top USA RC rides as: #1 Voyage Holiday World #2 Superman - Ride of Steel Six Flags New England #3 El Toro Six Flags Great Adventure #4 Millennium Force Cedar Point #5 X2 Six Flags Magic Mountain

That's a pretty sweet ride, but believe it or not, I don't like this song. I would re-do it with Master of Puppets.
