Everyone has a favorite attraction at an amusement park, and I am no different. However, unlike
most people who seem to prefer roller coasters, my favorite ride is a little gentler. Every time I go to
Coney Island, Navy Pier, or the Santa Monica Pier, I absolutely have to ride the Ferris Wheel. The Ferris

series of carts are attached to a wheel, which is attached to a rim. That rim rotates vertically around an
axis, and gravity keeps the carts upright. As simple as the ride seems, only advanced engineers can
make safe and fun Ferris Wheels.
While the Ferris Wheel is not as thrilling as a rollercoaster, it is still very exciting. The fact of being high

The first Ferris Wheel was made by and named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. He designed
it for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. It was the tallest attraction there, standing 264 feet high.
However, visitors to the fair were impressed by the size of the ride as well as the mechanics of it. In
1893, anything that was not turned by hand was considered a sight to see. And the Wheel, which was a
machine, was truly incredible to see. Further, as one visitor put it, the Wheel was amazing because it
seemed to be missing support. That is, it did not look like it could stand on its own. And yet it did and
even rotated!
