The Ferris wheel was invented by George WG Ferris Jr. He built the first one for the 1893 World`s Fair, in Chicago, Illinois. Ferris owned a company that tested iron and steel for railroads and bridges. He used his knowledge of structural steel to design a steel structure that would amaze the visitors to the fair. The first Ferris wheel was supported by two 140-foot tall steel towers, with a 45-foot long axle between them. The wheel had a diameter of 250 feet, and had 36 wooden cars that could each hold up to 60 riders. It was lit up by 3000 of Thomas Edison`s new light bulbs. The first Ferris wheel was a huge success, and was considered a marvel of engineering.
