Picture of the day-386: VGP Universal Kingdom with Giant Wheel in the background
The giant wheel is a fascinating creation. I used to like and ride it in my younger days. After a time, somehow I developed sort of uneasiness, or maybe even fear and could not bring myself to ride it. So now I just watch it from a distance, as the fascination has not completely disappeared. It applies to the various joy rides in the amusement park.
Grateful thanks to VGP Universal Kingdom.
