When I was a kid, we convinced my father (who is extremely afraid of heights) to ride the sky ride at Busch gardens in Tampa. The ride malfunctioned and we were stuck swing in the air for over 30 minutes! I am in my 50s now and I still haven’t forgotten the look of fear on my father’s eyes that day!

I hope they do reopen the wheel. I enjoy going up in that thing. Plus the way I look at it everything is going to break and malfunction from time to time. They are machines. As long as no one gets hurt on it I think it should be allowed to reopen. ~~ You mentioned the skyliner. I have gotten stuck in that thing for about an hour and a half when it first opened. It did finally start up on its own so we didn’t have to worry about evacuating off of it. The only issue I had was I was on the thing with a man and his wife and his wife started to have a panic attack and him and myself had to talk her out of it. She was afraid of heights and we got stuck out in front of the gas station and that was pretty high up.
