       Did Frontier City get the Balloon Ferris wheel from Tge?

       Due to extreme boredom cause by staying inside all day I was
       checking out random parks on the internet and saw that as part
       of its 2019 kiddieland revamp Frontier City added a Balloon
       Wheel, I saw it in a video of the park from last opening day but
       it was not yet set up but it looked like our ride and the promo
       picture the park used was identical to our old one. This was the
       smaller model and not the larger one like Six Flags America has,
       I checked the aerial image of the Great Escape and the wheel is
       still sitting in the boneyard next to the Pirate, but Wiggles
       World is still in the picture so it's at least from 2018, just
       wondering if anybody has heard anything about it being moved?

       I’ve heard nothing of it, and to be honest I’d be surprised if
       they shipped a kiddie ride cross-country, but anything’s
       possible.

       [/quote] It’s actually a lot more common then you think.
       Shipping it from Great Escape to Oklahoma is way cheaper then
       buying a new one which then still has to be shipped from where
       it was manufactured. Once google updates it’s aerial images we
       will know for sure. One of the other new for 2019 kiddie rides
       at FC came from SFOT so it does look like SF was looking to save
       cost and bring in rides from other parks.

       I have nothing to back this up, but I'd highly doubt it. The
       ride has been sitting outside for at least 7+ years behind the
       park. Plus I'm pretty sure they used balloons for decoration as
       recently as this past frightfest.

       Hard to say. I think they would have used one from a closer SFI
       park. There are a few sitting around. I tried to look it up but
       the SFI site is down.
       The accessibility guid also gives no info on the ride.
