    Great pics!!! I wanted to visit the State Fair, but no time… believe it or not. Any shots of downtown from the top of the wheel?

    Hey Ernest, Unfortunately the main ferris wheel didn’t offer a great view of downtown, only a small portion of BB&T was visible at the pinnacle.

    Apparently one of the smaller wheels had a better view, though.
