A Ferris wheel, named after George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., (sometimes called a big wheel, observation wheel, or, in the case of the very tallest examples, giant wheel) is a nonbuilding structure consisting of a rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred to as passenger cars, cabins, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity.
Some of the largest modern Ferris wheels have cars mounted on the outside of the rim, with electric motors to independently rotate each car to keep it upright. These wheels may be referred to as observation wheels and their cars referred to as capsules. Sometimes these alternative names are also used for wheels with conventional gravity-oriented cars.
The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The term Ferris wheel is used generically for all such structures which are now the most common type of amusement ride at state fairs in the United States.
The original Ferris Wheel, sometimes also referred to as the Chicago Wheel, was the centerpiece of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.
Intended to rival the 1889 Paris Exposition's 324-metre (1,063 ft) Eiffel Tower, the Ferris Wheel was the Columbian Exposition's largest attraction, with a height of 80.4 metres (264 ft).
The Ferris Wheel was dismantled then rebuilt in Lincoln Park, Chicago, in 1895, and dismantled and rebuilt a third and final time for the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. It was demolished there in 1906.
The Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He was a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, bridge-builder. He began his career in the railroad industry and then pursued an interest in bridge building. Ferris understood the growing need for structural steel and founded G.W.G. Ferris & Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders.
Ferris may refer to:
A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the main components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel and flywheel.
Common examples are found in transport applications. A wheel greatly reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by the application of another external force or torque.
The English word wheel comes from the Old English word hweol, hweogol, from Proto-Germanic *hwehwlan, *hwegwlan, from Proto-Indo-European *kwekwlo-, an extended form of the root *kwel- "to revolve, move around". Cognates within Indo-European include Icelandic hjól "wheel, tyre", Greek κύκλος kúklos, and Sanskrit chakra, the latter both meaning "circle" or "wheel".

The North Carolina carnival worker was able to adjust the malfunctioning Ferris wheel but fell and sustained minor injuries.
We got to go up in a capsule and take in the views from atop the Orlando Eye! It is the largest ferris (observation) wheel on the East Coast. This thing goes HIGH. Let's be honest...I was a little nervous about it! Some other family members were nervous too though. Even though it was slightly overcast when we went, we still had amazing views in all directions! My kids loved seeing helicopters below us while we were riding. Thanks for watching! Don't forget to give us a THUMBS UP! Please subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/FFPSubscribe We love fan mail!

Adrianna Zbik was in awe of the spectacular pink SkyWheel display in Myrtle Beach that her husband surprised her with as a backdrop for their gender reveal photos. The joyous moment comes after a lot of pain for the couple. When Adrianna found out she was pregnant, at first she was expecting twins. But a few weeks later, she lost one of the babies due to Vanishing Twin Syndrome. InsideEdition.com's Leigh Scheps (http://twitter.com/LeighTVReporter) has more.

A carnival employee was injured while trying to rescue children from a malfunctioning Ferris wheel in North Carolina. Albert Irwin could be seen trying to help two boys, ages 5 and 7, as they clung to each other inside a tilted carriage at a carnival in Greensboro around 9:45 p.m. Friday. "One of them kept saying, 'I don't want to die, I don't want to die,'" Irwin said. He reassured the children that they were going to be OK, telling them, "You're not going to die; I'm here to help you."

A ferris wheel
Hey, I don't know what to say, I think of you each day
And in my loneliness, I don't know what is best
Maybe I might pretend, I'm going round the bend
And many a lot will heal, on the ferris wheel
Hey, I'm losing it again, a lack of oxygen
