So where is the ferris wheel, that ride in the pics is not round.....................

[pegscraper]

That thing isn't a ferris wheel. When the fair shows up in our local park, that is called The Zipper.

[eagleeye]

Right on, That things not a ferris wheel.

(sorry Ron)

I gotta agree.... try try again

[Ferrantelli]

I not so sure, there is the word "wheel" is in "Ferris Wheel". That doen't look like a wheel.

[dynodon]

It's a Zipper, nice try, good pics, but rules are rules!

[Animal]

I googled Ferris Wheel, and they were ALL round....

What do you say Ferrentelli?

 

( I wonder how long before googled gets in the dictionary ? )

[kantornado]

I ask one of the carnies at the park if they had a Ferris wheel the guy pointed to this and I got the picture.

After reading your post I went back and asked the guy at the park who runs the ride and he told me some people do call it a Ferris wheel but its real name is Zipper.

 

Now I am totally embarrassed on a world wide web site...................Ron

Ron there is nothing to be embarrassed about you are among friends. Now you have another reason to go out and ride some more.

Well, if nobody is going to get this then I'm off to Hershey Park tomorrow. The Ferris Wheel is right next to the road. My wife will enjoy her first ride of the season. You have 24 hours to beat me to it. If I win, I'll pick the snowman...

 

Well, wife and I got on the scoot for a ride up to Hershey. Didn't get too far. Flat tire. I've been meaning to order some Ride-On. Is this only available on line? Does Wally World carry it?

[sarges46]

You's guys are killing us northeners! I agree with Brad.....what about a pic with the bikes still in the shed surrounded by snow! snowing again as I type! Dang.

 

 

All well...heading to Alberta tomorrow morning....maybe see some brown grass there!

 

This is a neat thread btw....great idea.

[dynodon]

Ron, the only way to be embarrassed would be to have never tried. Great picture, good try, and added to the fun. In E. Peoria in my area, there is a Christmas display on a hill that looks like wreath, but is actually an old ferris wheel. Wouldn't have counted though, because it can't carry people anymore!

I guess if I loaded up my torn down bike in the truck, went to a Ferris Wheel, unloaded it, took a pic, loaded it back up and went back home, I could qualify!!!!!!!!!!!:rotf::080402gudl_prv:

[86Royale]

:rotf:I think THAT would deserve extra credit!

[IH Truck Guy]

OK,we got the ferris wheel. :cool10:148 miles,37 degreees,1 hour trying to get camera to download pics.Afternoon spent with Shari, priceless...................

[Kregerdoodle]

cool.....uh...but where is the pic ????????

[Pyro]

LOL, Ya, I think one of the rules is that you POST the photo! LOL.

 

Are you too busy enjoying the "priceless time" w/ your sweetie to upload it? haha.

 

When you're finished, get the photo uploaded!!!

 

All in good fun.

Right click on the pic, if you have an option that says "resize picture", select that and select 640x480. It will give you a copy of that pic that has the file name and says "small" after that. This is the file you want to upload. If you don't have that option, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx , look along the right hand column till you find the "picture resizer" file. Download to ur 'puter, then that option will come up when you right click on the pic. Orrrrr, email me the pic at danob11@comcast.net and I'll do it for you and then send it back to ya.

OOPS: file says "image resizer"

[IH Truck Guy]

OK,let's try this again. IT's taking longer to attach the photo,then the 3 hour bike ride.:whistling:

[Dano]

Ok, how did you get the Ferris Wheel to lay down on it's side?!?!?!:rotf:

[IH Truck Guy]

This pc is really trying to tick me off.:(

 

OK,The next mission is a picture of you, your bike, and a zoo sign (not a handmande zoo sign or your own house with the kids in it LOL!:no-no-no:) Should be a local zoo, county zoo, etc.

[IH Truck Guy]

We may not know how to use a PC, but we know how to use magnets (big ones):rotf:

 

 

Thanks for the downsizer heads up...
