is the sky ride on carnival legend
RodeoHouston opens today, and its new carnival ride, the SkyRide, offers a fresh perspective even for rodeo veterans. The ski lift spans the carnival grounds, acting both as relaxing entertainment and a mode of transport for visitors whose new cowboy boots have blistered their heels. If you get on this ride, you literally, from an aerial aspect, see the whole carnival, said Leroy Shafer, the show's chief operating officer. This is a way of seeing it all â and it's fun.. It's not for visitors who have a fear of heights, since the gondolas travel about 65 feet above the ground.
