Look no further... The Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel, that is still in operation! This thing actually has a bid. I'd like to see UPS deliver this beast :shock:

LOL

That was my first thought...
Whom but the big MJ would bid 50K on a Ferris Wheel...

Bet he could lure alot of young boys with that in his yard...

Shouldn't that thing be a landmark for Santa Monica?

I think Neverland has a Nefarious Wheel already.

I don't understand why they're selling this. Did it fail inspection or something? Are they getting rid of the pier rides? Why take it away?

I love that movie! It says it doesn't come with the base, only the wheel. Hope the buyer read that! lol.
