What has 45 gondolas, goes 1.5 revolutions each minute and is the most popular ride at the State Fair of Texas? The answer has to be the Texas Star Ferris wheel, the largest Ferris wheel in North America.
Built in Italy, the wheel debuted in Fair Park in 1985. More than 15 employees staff the Texas Star, which carries riders some 20 stories high. On a clear day, those on the Texas Star can see the downtown Fort Worth skyline, some 40 miles away.
During the State Fair of Texas, the Texas Star shines under the wattage of 16,000 incandescent red, white, and blue turbolites.
Behind the Aquarium, across from the Texas Star, you will find a bison tube hanging. This is an extremely high muggle area during the fair. You will need to use as much stealth as possible. Good luck!
Avoid the use of acronym only logs and cut 'n paste logs. You must sign the log to claim the find. Blank logs and double logs may be deleted without notice. No exceptions, no excuses!
