The Ferris wheel

Invention of Ferris wheel

1 century ago when the Eiffel tower was made it was a big star meanwhile there was a big world fair in Chicago. The man behind this was Danial Burman. A famous architect that time he wanted a lot of people to admire his work. So he called a lot of architects for ideas but he didn’t like any of them. One architect George Washington Gale Ferris junior was at restaurant when a thought came to him of a giant bicycle wheel in the air. That’s when the idea came to him of a giant wheel which rotates with carts so that the passengers can see their entire city. But Daniel declined and told that it was too dangerous. George didn’t give up and made 400,000$ to build a Ferris wheel. And after it was made George, his wife and the city’s mayor were the first ones to ride the Ferris wheel. During the next 19 weeks 1million people had lined up to ride the Ferris wheel.
