The wheel was first established as part of a traveling program. It has moved around to from Paris (located across the street from the Louvre Museum) and Switzerland, and then on to the United States via Pensacola, spending about 16 months in each location. But it is now settling in Atlanta.
This is a good picture showing you how close ParkBar is to the wheel, and to CNN which is in the upper right corner. Mat and I still work just steps from each other :-)
Each gondola holds up to six people, climate control cars—which were cool and comfortable on the hot day we visited. As the wind picked up a bit, our car swayed, which was the cause of M & M's reaction here.
