I just posted about a press release and some pictures on the Ronald Bussink AG web site. Well, the Niagara SkyWheel was made in partnership with Chance Morgan as well. I was looking around their web site to see if they have any information on the Niagara SkyWheel, and they have a video! It is very well done and comes in both Quicktime (MOV) and Windows Media (WMV) formats.
The movie is just over 4 minutes long, and has some great shots of the wheel, as well as some comments by Harry Oakes, the President of HOCO Entertainment Resorts.
Unfortunately, I can’t link directly to the page. To download the video, visit the Family Rides section of the Chance Morgan web site. Then click the arrows to scroll through the rides until you see R60 Giant Wheel. You can then download the video in either format. They are both the same video, but the WMV format is a smaller file size, yet the video is actually slightly larger on screen, so I would recommend that.
Back in January I linked to the Ronald Bussink AG web site. They had a press release announcing the Ferris wheel coming to Niagara Falls. Now they have a press release announcing the completion. The details are almost identical to the original press release:
Ronald Bussink Professional Rides has finalized the delivery of a new Giant Wheel type R60 to HOCO Entertainment & Resorts. Together with Chance Morgan based in Wichita, the Giant Wheel Type R60 SV has been manufactured in both the United States and in Europe. The Skywheel is open for public since the second week of June 2006, and has already been a great success.
“The superior design of Ronald Bussink, combined with the manufacturing strength of Chance Morgan, makes the R60 the premier Giant Wheel product available in the market today,” remarked Harry Oakes, HOCO President.
The Giant Gondola Wheel features fully enclosed gondolas for a climate-controlled ride year around. After completion, the ride will be located in the Clifton Hill Area of Niagara Falls, Ontario. It’s slated for installation in the spring of 2006.
The Giant Wheel is part of a 3-phase, $100 million development project expected to take 5 to 10 years to complete.
If you visit the Ronald Bussink AG web site, and click on the News link (the site uses Flash, so I can’t link directly to it), you can then click on the information on the HOCO attraction. There are some nice pictures of the Niagara SkyWheel along with the press release.
I recently received the latest newsletter from the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview & Spa (I’m not sure why they use both that name and Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview in their promotional material). They are promoting some relaxing, spa-related packages:
