On March 25 authorities announced that the Ferris Wheel located inside Uminonakamichi Seaside Park will be closed and taken down. Operations will continue until the end of August. The wheel had been in operation since 1984. At its peak of popularity on 1988, 250,000 persons rode on it annually. However in the last ten years the number has dropped to between 30,000 and 50,000 per year. The Ferris Wheel was a landmark of the park. How about talking one last ride the Spring and Summer?
