Not your typical Ferris Wheel-The Texas Star is a 212.5-foot-tall ferris wheel at Fair Park in Texas. It made its first appearance at the 1985 State Fair of Texas and has run every year since. With forty-four cars able to seat six people each, up to 264 riders can be on the wheel at once. During the State Fair at night, the wheel lights up red, white, and blue.The Texas Star is the tallest ferris wheel in the Western Hemisphere and the twenty-fifth tallest in the history of ferris wheels. It can be seen from a few miles away on I-30. From the top of the ride, the Fort Worth skyline and the cluster of buildings along Central Expressway in Richardson can be clearly seen.
Brady couldn't wait to hop on this ride! He stood millimeters from the man ahead of him as I hoped the man wouldn't take that one dreadful step backwards. Please look at the RULES sign. Yes, Brady broke rule #2 and #3... but apparently the consequences aren't enforced-lucky us!
