Ferris wheel planned for downtown Spartanburg | GoUpstate.com

This ferris wheel, to be located along Daniel Morgan Avenue (SC-296), would be a seasonal attraction.

Somehow parking some temporary carnival ride in the middle of a downtown area seems rather tacky. Unless it was a large permanent version similar to the big ferris wheel at Myrtle Beach.

That is my thinking as well. If the ferris wheel is permanent, has a cool design, landscaped around, etc it will be cool. It should have a name too (ie: The Spartan Flyer or something.....and a logo.....be uplit at night.....become a true attraction).

Sadly, my gut tells me this will be a typical carnival ferris wheel with plastic seats in various colors and large electrical cables running along the ground to power it.....trip over them, just like at the fair.

I would not mind seeing a more permanent Ferris wheel in Spartanburg if it was included in a fun park similar to Frankie's Fun Park and larger in size. Having a carnival Ferris wheel would get by for the season, but it is something I would not want to have as a permanent fixture.

I was thinking it would be a big ferris wheel like MB. It's a cool idea.

If Spartanburg had more to see, I would support one. I would like to see Spartanburg vertically grow some.
