Famous Ride

Has anyone else seen the movie "the Third Man"? Post-war, Orson Welles, murder mystery thriller. 

Well, if so you will know that a key scene took place on Vienna's iconic ferris wheel, which was originally erected to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef I in  1897.  It's large, and features cabins that look like miniature train cars and are fixed to the spokes only at the outside points, which means they swing gently depending on the weight and location of its occupants,  In other words, if everyone in the cabin moves to one side to take a photo or whatever, the entire car tips.

We experienced this as a minor thrill.  However, there were others in our cabin that did not share our enthusiasm and blanched severely at the least movement.

It is located in a funfair park, which has some fantastic rides and old-school charm.  If we had more time and I didn't have a bad back we would have spent an entire day here.
