The Ferris wheel is a large wheel-shaped construction that revolves around its own axis. The first object of this type, similar in shape and operation to the contemporary big wheels, was designed by George Washington Gale Ferris for the world exhibition organized in Chicago in 1893. This steel carousel was up to 80 meters high and weighed 2,200 tons. Big wheels located in large cities, such as Las Vegas, Singapore, London or Melbourne, are also attractive vantage points. Sitting in a glass cabin you can admire the whole area.
