Fireworks rise above the new $1.5 million solar powered Ferris wheel, replacing the Pacific Wheel Ferris wheel that was auctioned off on eBay for $132,400 in April, on its opening night at Pacific Park amusement park on the Santa Monica Pier on May 28, 2008 in Santa Monica, California. The old 90-foot tall Pacific Wheel Ferris wheel appeared in 105 photo shoots, 71 television commercials, 69 television shows, 28 films and 13 music videos and carried more than 3 million riders130 feet above the ocean on its 20 gondolas over the past 12 years.
