If anyone has information (year built, manufacture) on the Plainville Drive in Ferris Wheel I sure would appreciate it. About 20 years ago (1993) I purchased the Ferris Wheel from a local Plainville residence. Shortly after it took two years of Monday nights to rebuild with another local guy. Now it is on static displayed at Summer Scoops at Osborne Nursery 80 Washington Street (Rte.1) also still in Plainville, MA.

The above address will map accurately to the location of the drive-in, which is visible on Google Earth using present day imagery.
