Why? WHY?

Sky Dream Fukuoka, the world's second largest ferris wheel, ceased operation in September 2009. Dammit, this was one of the reasons I decided to stop over here!

I was wondering on the way in why an outlet mall needed two ferris wheels. I rode the smaller Sky Wheel which mostly gives you views of the car park and, well, Sky Dream. It's hard to miss from that close. I got a free ticket for the Sky Wheel after buying something at a shop - I passed.
