G3 More Giant Ponies!

[Neelah]

I just stumbled across this on Pinterest, first time I've ever seen it! This was a car on a ferris wheel inside a Toys R Us in Times Square. It's now in Florida, as a parade float at the Give Kids The World theme park! What a cool way to let it continue being enjoyed! Here's the link to the article about it's new life - https://www.rd.com/article/toys-r-us-ferris-wheel/

And a picture during it's life on a ferris wheel -

And a bonus giant Pinkie Pie - I don't know anything about this one but it was also found on Pinterest -

I've been to give kids the world in Florida I wish I new it was there so I could ask to see it
I think past wish kids can still go back years later even as an adult but idk, I would die to be able to see it and sit in it lol

Edit: yes I could go back there is a request form
Also I think they also have one of the MLP g3 mascots as well I remember seeing a pic from there site

I remember seeing that car in Toys R Us, along with other non MLP characters. I've never ridden the wheel, I am terrified of ferris wheels. But loved seeing it!

I went on the Toys R Us ferris wheel as a child! I grew up in NYC and LOVED going to Times Square to run around the Toys R Us. It was INSANELY huge. I wish I went on the pony car even though I was very scared of ferris wheels and still am.

Man I am so happy you posted this. I actually cried. I hated that Toys “R” Us time square was closed, and especially worried about what was going to happen to these cars. I’m so happy that they’re down there at give kids the world village. I’m still so upset we lost it (before Toys “R” Us went bankrupt in America), I still haven’t watched the defunctland episode specifically about this location. It hurts too much to think about still.

As for give kids the world Village, from what I understand they still have an area themed around the charity pony that they made in 2008 around the time core seven existed.

There’s too many little links that don’t seem to go anywhere for some weird reason, but if you Google “give kids the world village twinkle hope“ you’ll see clips and images and blurbs about it.

Yeah I'm not sure even ponies could get me on a ferris wheel!

Ooh I love defunctland, I'll have to find that one!
Definitely going to look more into the Twinkle Hope and the pony area!

We were in NYC in 2007!
Our daughter on the subway, knowing that we wound be heading to the TRU (among other sites):

Made it to the TRU!

Success!

I would post photos of us standing in line, but I can't figure out how to blur/crop out the other people...
