    I have lived in Central Florida for nearly 30 years and in that time only 3 Hurricanes have come through the area, all in 2004. We build to 120 MPH wind standards.
    The Wheel is a very solid piece of equipment undergoing some teething problems.

    What is it with all these amusement park rides breaking down all over the place?? Alton towers then one in Germany and one in Denmark another in Alton towers again and now this? Is it simply more reporting that would not make news in the past ?

    Was at the wheel yesterday at that time. No one was overly concerned. Seemed to be under control.
