Ferris Wheel

Clearly visible throughout Solomon Island's southern region, the Ferris Wheel is located on the eastern side of the park. A fairly basic ride with few specific alterations, this was another problem region during construction: Lorraine specifically notes that her lover, Don, fell to his death while working at the top of the Ferris Wheel, apparently due to a malfunctioning safety harness. Of course, due to the debilitating effects the emotion-siphoning had on the minds of certain visitors, it's equally likely that Don simply committed suicide while under its influence, intentionally disengaging his harness and jumping to his death.

In 2012, the Wheel is still intact despite years of neglect, and serves as the player's gateway to the shadow realm; similarly, in the shadow realm itself, the Ferris Wheel and the area surrounding it ultimately become the location for the final showdown between players and the Bogeyman.

The fourth ride encountered by Lorraine during The Park, the Ferris Wheel can be reached by a flight of stairs ascending a small rock formation just across from the Bumper Cars (this formation does not exist in the real world). Once again, the ride appears far larger and far more menacing than its real-world counterpart, occurring in its own isolated clearing; furthermore, it is already in motion - again requiring players to shut it down before she can board, whereupon the Bogeyman takes control. Given the relatively placid nature of the ride, Lorraine spends most of her time aboard reminiscing about Don, how they first met, how they fell in love, and ultimately how he died while helping to construct the very wheel she's riding on.

Upon leaving - and succumbing further to the park's emotional manipulation - she discovers a ticket to the roller coaster some distance away from the Wheel, amidst a pile of refuse blocking the path ahead. No sooner has she picked it up, a car falls from the Ferris Wheel and begins rolling down the incline towards her, narrowly missing Lorraine as it crashes through the roadblock.
