Driving by Lagoon yesterday, I noticed the park's Vekoma Giant Wheel
gone (save for the supports) with a large crane standing in the
vicinity. Anyone have insight as to whether this is a major
refurbishment or if it is being removed?

This wheel started out life as "Jumbo" and later "Giant Wheel" at
Circus World/Boardwalk and Baseball before being moved to Lagoon for
(I believe) the 1990 season.
