The Incredible Machine

Everyone has a favorite attraction at an amusement park, and I am no different. However,

unlike most people who seem to prefer rollercoasters, 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 wheel is simple and yet also quite complex. That is, riding it is easy, but how it
works is complicated. A 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.

What It Lacks in Thrills…

While the Ferris wheel is not as thrilling as a rollercoaster, it is still very exciting. The fact
of being high in the air makes it so much more entertaining than a lot of rides. I mean, how often
do you hang from that high up in daily life? Nevertheless, I have to admit, I don’t seek Ferris
wheels out because of their excitement. Rather, I find them very relaxing. At the top of the Ferris
wheel, you get beautiful sights of the park. You also get a sense of calm that you don’t get in the
hustle and bustle of the park below. Additionally, Ferris wheels are also gorgeous to look at when
they are lit up at night. In fact, the original Ferris wheel was designed as much to be seen as to be
ridden. It happened at the World’s Fair.
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!
They Keep Reaching Higher and Higher
Ferris wheel technology has only improved since then. Most of today’s Ferris wheels are
much larger than that first one. The largest in the world is the "Singapore Flyer," which stands
slightly taller than twice what Ferris’s did!
Today, the Ferris wheel is the most common amusement park ride. But that does not mean
you should take them for granted. Instead, be thankful for Ferris’ invention. The next time you’re
at an amusement park, don’t just look up at the impressive wheel in the sky on your way to a newer
attraction. Take it for a spin!
