Today’s post is a fun image that was taken the same day as my post from The Boardwalk. While exploring Disney’s Pop Century Resort, which is themed around different era’s of the 50’s through the 90’s, I came around a corner and spotted this ginormous Big Wheel! Having fond memories of riding one of these when I was a kid, I was immediately transported back in time to my childhood. I used to love riding these things. The colorful plastic toy could keep a little one busy for hours.
I setup my tripod low to the ground to make sure the largeness of this awesome set of wheels was emphasized. I had to move around quite a bit until I found the composition I was looking for. I was drawn to the bright colors of this scene that just seemed to pop out.
Pictures can’t really do justice to the size of this but it is just about as tall as the four-story building behind it.
If you ever make a trip to Disney, be sure and stop by this resort. It is definitely worth a visit!

Nice shot Michael. Those were so popular with kids in the early 70’s. This Big Wheel is so huge… What is it made of?

Thanks Jim! I remember every kid had to have one of these! Not sure what it’s made of – maybe fiberglass or plastic. Really cool to see in person!

Great pic — I love how they have a fence running under it just in case someone thought to ride it out of there. 🙂
God Bless you, Michael!

I’m having flashbacks of dragging my big wheel up a steep hill and then racing down, feet off the pedals! Great shot, Michael. 🙂

Outstanding photographic work. I especially like this one. The big wheel does remind me of my days zooming up and down the street terrorizing anything in my way. Thank you for the memories. I will be back to see more of your outstanding work.
