The Search for a Ferris Wheel

This week I took a pause from my totally aimless wondering around indie clubs in SL and went in search of the best ferris wheel. I only found around a dozen and most of them totally blew. The one at SL's Coney Island was no exception (the majority have a poseball positioning problem that keeps your ass from actually being in the seat that I find extremely annoying) but there were so many other fun things to do and grab that I ended up staying for ages.

I would have never imagined riding a damn merry-go-round in SL would be so soothing.

I sometimes get really excited about cotton candy?

And yet I'm indifferent to those spinning rides that fling you about.

Oh and if there's a random giraff running around I will ALWAYS ride it.
