Ferris Wheel

9+ years old

Ferris Wheel is an amusement ride consisting of a large upright wheel rotating on a fixed stand and having seats around its rim suspended freely so that they remain right side up as they revolve.

The wheel is constantly in motion so when you get on and off it is moving but at an extremely slow pace.

The Ferris Wheel is turning manually in a circular motion by using a Simple machine—an Axle & Wheel.

The Ferris wheel spins upwards with the help of gears and motors, while gravity pulls the wheel back down again. This cycle continues for the duration of the ride.
