Quite a view from up there. Thanks for the free ride. I'll be sure to return someday.

here is the video (I am going to try to attempt to change the patterns at some point (I really want an all fade and etc.), but I was happy to just have anything working for now)

Oh wow, I'm late. This is really good, but Bart was right. The floor should probably be half that long, I kept sliding down while trying to climb it. I tested it as an half pipe with that skateboard I won at one of the stall. Worked great! Just have to avoid hitting the gondolas

The ride was awesome though. (Why is Gump looking so creepy at me?)

I will look into shortening the platform some. (I kinda like it long though for some reason, but I think I can shrink it)

(guess you better ask Gump what the face is about)

As of now, I can not change the patterns to what I want, but I hope to at some point (have to talk to the company some). the lighting I was hoping to use for the hub facing outward was DOA and I hope to find something else similar to what I am after for the hub. but is there any lighting for the base of the supports that might work well (I kinda feel that the light should only be on the wheel, so I do not know what I want, unless I did a lighted sign like what I did for BR maybe?)

As for now I have the project listed as completed, so if I do any major modifications it will be when the wheel is moved 20+ feet more or less vertical from where it is now (it might go onto the next level).

Sparkfun has some Arduino Shields for EL wire.
