The only time I go to Staten Island is when I'm driving through it to get to Long Island or out of Long Island. I usually have to hold my nose while I drive due to either lovely low tide STANK or methane nastiness emanating from the giant landfill there. I wonder if Staten Island still has the world's largest landfill or if someplace else took over that title...
Anyway, in a few years Staten Island is getting the world's largest ferris wheel according to this Newsday article. Honestly, I'm a little shocked. Why the hell would you put something like that there? I get that you want a nice view of the Statue of Liberty and all, but why there?! That's not such a good area. No one goes to Staten Island unless they live there and it's not easy to get there in the first place. Plus, it smells bad a lot of the time. I just don't understand people and their decisions.
The last ferris wheel I went on was during the Salem Fair this summer. It was awesome but I apparently now have a semi-fear of heights that I didn't have before. I got to see the Mill Mountain Star from afar during dusk and there was no smell. :-)
