Osaka Oblong Ferris Wheel Battle

My quest in Osaka is complete.
I have ridden, the ONLY OBLONG FERRIS WHEEL IN THE WORLD.
I strolled down to Doutonbori, hunted down the ever elusive towering ferris wheel with the giant penguin, paid my 500 yen (2000 yen per car, 4 people), and and the most exhilarating 15 minute ride I will ever experience.
Look at this view! All the colors of the rainbow.

Never have I seen such beauty. New Zealand’s got nothin’ on this!

The rooftops… the grimy street below… I cried.
Ride this ferris wheel because it’s OBLONG. Not for the view.
Be sure you don’t fit any of the “I’M SORRY, IT CANNOT RIDE” profiles before you go.

Drunk penguins rock.
