I would completely refurbish the Big wheel for the 50th anniversary complete with new paint and fiberglass work on the gondolas and new paint and led lighting on the wheel.
This ride was once the centerpiece of the park, now it’s nothing more than an eyesore.
It’s down to three drive motors out of four, the gondolas look horrible and one out of five are missing with peeling paint, etc, it doesn’t even light up anymore…WTH??
I would have Coca Cola sponsor the ride and let GA have a big 50 in the center of the wheel for 2024, then have coke put their logo in the center while they sponsor it…It’s a no brainer.
