ergo "thrill" ride
Coasters don't gin money?
Big wheels make money because they have the capacity to do so.
Tough to put people through a diver, skywheel, zipper, roc etc...
Well coasters are a great thrill ride with their own following, but you know you can only load a few tubs at once on a Giant Wheel as well, I think as stated above more of the "family" appeal while a normal Sky Wheel (faster speed) has the thrill of a coaster which not everyone likes. A Diver is all about thrill with going upside down and backwards. However, never did understand why they didn't load two or three tubs at once when they had a long line on the Diver, or two on the Sky Wheel with long lines, I mean you could still balance it with enough people.
But nevertheless, we have all debated this before on here, and we know they will not come back as much as they were around years ago, just enjoyed catching one when I can.
Midway rides of Utica brought a nice Rock O Plane thru here last year, hope they return as well.
The last Diver I saw was on J&J here at the Upper SC State Fair back in early 2000s, never got to see PGAM's/P&T Diver.
