Ferris
Wheels A gripping story of one of the engineering marvels of both the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries, the Ferris wheel The Ferris wheel, perhaps more than any
other amusement ride, symbolizes all that is magic about amusement
parks and county fairs. Towering above the carousel, hot dog
stands, and kiddie rides, the Ferris wheel lifts young and old
alike for never-to-be forgotten views. Few passengers forget
their first ride on the queen of the midway and the sensations
they felt when the rapidly spinning wheel carried them over the
top.
