Joseys Art School Presents Line Drawing Art Class Dandelions Ferris Wheels Pin wheels

 

Ferris wheels are giant, slow-spinning wheels with seats that lift people high into the air. Invented by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, they give kids a fun, safe, and magical way to see the world from above. [1, 2]
Cool Facts
  • Gravity Keeps You Upright: The seats on a Ferris wheel never flip upside down. Gravity keeps the cabins level the whole time the big wheel turns. [1, 2, 3]
  • Built to Beat the Eiffel Tower: The very first Ferris wheel was made in 1893 to rival the Eiffel Tower in France. It held over 2,000 people at once! [1]
  • Super Safe and Relaxing: Unlike fast roller coasters, Ferris wheels move at a slow and steady pace, making them a great, low-stress ride where kids can spot their favorite fairgrounds or city sights from the sky.
