Ferris wheel
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Ferris wheels (or big wheels) are large, round structures with gondolas where people sit. They are sometimes called Big Wheels in the United Kingdom. They are pouplar at amusement parks and fairs. They are named after George Ferris, who made the first modern wheel for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. There are also observation wheels, which are like Ferris wheels but are used for observing and looking at things on the ground. The most famous of these kinds of wheels is the London Eye.
