In an era when the theme-park experience tends to be dominated by the thrill ride of the moment, sometimes it's fun to go old school. The Big Wheel, a 15-story Ferris wheel that offers guests a slower and gentler ride along with a fantastic view of the park and surrounding areas, has been around since 1974 and has undergone a "green" update in the interim. This is a ride the whole family can enjoy together ... assuming nobody's afraid of heights, that is.
