• The itsy bitsy spider...

    ...isn't actually a Spider at all (although Battech is selling those again...)

    I guess it's Powers Great American Midways. They've bought a new giant
    gondola Ferris wheel, this one around 90' tall. It's a brand new Wheel, and it's built so that the spreader bars between the sweeps are curved; the
    result is that the whole thing looks like a gigantic spider web.
    Accordingly, at the hub of the wheel is a giant illuminated (and apparently animated) spider.

    Perhaps the best part is that this, the largest, most imposing ride on the midway, is named "Itsy Bitsy."

    Not sure if you can see this or not, but I learned about it here: https://www.facebook.com/rayrideguy/posts/4124565660915873
