Late last night, my daughter and I heard about the Grand Opening of the
Myrtle Beach SkyWheel and how the first 100 people in line were going to be given the inaugural ride free! So, we decided we were going to kick off Summer 2011 by trying to snag a couple of free seats!
I mean, how could we not? This is one
big ferris wheel! It is actually the largest east of the Mississippi and climbs 200 feet about sea level right on Myrtle Beach at the
Myrtle Beach Boardwalk & Promenade. Unfortunately, we didn't get a free ticket; we were #106!!!! So close...but we rode anyway.
Yep, it is a big one!
She was smiling but she was NOT happy at this point! There were no handles or seat belts!!!
The view from the top was pretty amazing!
Look at those tiny men over there...
Well, we may have not gotten on the inaugural ride but we got to ride it 2nd!
