No more Grizzlies Ferris wheel

The 80-foot Ferris wheel that was supposed to be turning all season long on the concourse beyond right field is no more.

World Amusements, Inc., which operated the wheel and other rides, removed them during the last Grizzlies road trip. A source with the company, who did not want their name revealed because they are not authorized to speak about company business, tells Taub Sports that the rides were planned to be removed this time anyway for fairs in northern California and Nevada.

However, they will not return as a matter of finances. "(The profits) just weren't there," says the company source.

The Grizzlies heavily hyped the fact that the arcade would be a season long feature. The team is mum on its removal.
