Ferris wheel glowing at night
A Ferris wheel (or, more commonly in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland [UK], big wheel) is a nonbuilding structure consisting of an upright wheel with passenger gondolas suspended from the rim. Ferris wheels are a common type of amusement park ride and may also be found at urban parks and public places. Ferris wheels usually hold about 50-100 people. The Ferris wheel is named after Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduate and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania bridge-builder, George Washington Gale Ferris, 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 Ferris & Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders.
