Here's an article from Branson Tri-Lakes about Michael Haygood and his team lighting the wheel:

We were there for the concert, wheel lighting, and fireworks. Very impressive. Thought the turnout was great.

The Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel is now open in Oklahoma City.  The setting is not as interesting, in my opinion, but the owner hopes to attract more to his district.

OKC could have had a Star Flyer in BrickTown, they blew it.

I was there over the weekend, they had a "special" show at 10  and 10:55.  Michael haygood and his group had designed a new program (light show) for the weekend.  it was pretty well done.. amazing what they can do with led lights, computer and someone smart enough to put it all together..

Has anyone taken a ride on the new ferris wheel? Unless I missed something I've only seen reviews for the light show.  Hows the actual ride?  High up there?  Worth the money?

It's $12 for an 8 minute ride.  $8 for children (I think). Eight minutes gets you one revolution - it travels slow.  Yes, I enjoyed it - the views are great.  It's not something I'll probably do again soon, but definitely worth it the first time.  I'd suggest riding during the day so that you can actually look out around you.  Hubs and I went back during the evening to see it lit up and watch the synchronized 4th of July show set to music.  It was really cool! I read somewhere about long lines, but we just walked on; no line.
