Thanks for putting that on KZitem. The Skywheel has always been one of my very favorite rides because of it's unique qualities. It combines the feeling of a Farris Wheel into the thrill of a race car (so to speak) in the same ride. I used to ride the Skywheel every year at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson but then after about 1997 I was no longer able to find the ride in any midway or carnival. In Sept. 2012 I toke my 1st ride on a Skywheel in 15 years at the KSF. It was really fun!

its a Allen Herschell model basically a trailer mounted ride the drive wheels they used are from a Volkswagen Beetle up to 1968. as at the time the car was cheap and they used the wheels and tires to make the ride's wheel drive systems. these were also made by Chance Rides

I first saw this at the Du Quoin State fair (DuQuoin illinois) in the early 1970's. I thought it was the Boss of the midway. Never knew the name, I always called it the double-decker ferris wheel.

I've ridden a few Sky Wheels & on one of them, you could clearly hear your seat grinding...praying that thing doesn't just drop you Way down there where the midway's at! LOL Old rides like the Sky Wheel are rickity...although, my favorite ride is the Sky Diver. I trust riding a Sky Diver anyday over a Sky Wheel! Ain't no way of falling out of a Sky Diver car, you're in there pretty good!

I thought they only had that a couple times at the NYS fair because one year a part fell off and seriously injured or killed someone.

When I went to the NYS Fair in 2016. I went two days but not in a row, the ride never worked either days. It just stood in the air. But I saw it move for a few minutes the one day but then shut down immediately the next second I looked. I think a few people were on it. I'm not sure what happened but if it never ran after that then something serious was wrong with it. It's sad though because I wanted to go on it XD.

The Skywheel is becoming a thing of the past. Now it seems like there are more of the large single ferris wheels. That is too bad. Make more skywheels!

would have been a lot better video. if you tried it. the full effect is when you get stuck on top and are waiting for the other wheel to load.
