What are the amusement parks around the world? How much is the cost? How big is it?
At present, the world's largest Ferris wheel is located on the Thames BA London The London Eye (British Eye), from the ground up to 135 meters. However, because of the The London Eye belongs to the ferris wheel structure, some people think that it should be at the top of the Ferris Wheel and gravity separately, so far the world's largest Ferris wheel is in Japan Fukuoka sky dream Fukuoka (Sky Dream, Fukuoka, SDF), is a round body diameter 112 meters, from the total 120 meters high Ferris wheel. The project was designed by the Holland Ivy company, which once designed the British Ferris wheel "The London Eye". According to the company's engineers, Beijing "Chao wheel" structure ultra-high, super long diameter, large wheel, in the same building can be called the world's most.
The first Ferris wheel was designed by the American George Farris (George Washington Ferris) in 1893 for the exposition of Chicago, aiming to compete with the Paris tower built by Paris in 1889. The first Ferris wheel weighs 2200 tons, can take 2160 people, the height is equal to 26 floors. Because of Ferris's achievements on people with "Ferris wheel" (Ferris Wheel) to the name of this facility is what we are familiar with the Ferris wheel.
According to the difference of operation mechanism, the ferris wheel can be divided into two types: gravity wheel (Ferris Wheel) and Wheel (Observation). The cockpit Ferris wheel is hung on the wheel, in order to maintain the level of gravity; while the ferris wheel on the cockpit is hanging in the round outside, need to link the mechanical structure is more complicated, as the car around the position to maintain the level of the synchronous adjustment.
The ferris wheel is a large wheel shaped mechanical building equipped with a passenger cabin (Gondola) hanging from the rim of the wheel. The passengers sat in the ferris wheel, slowly turning upward, overlooking the surrounding landscape. The most common form of Ferris wheel is the amusement park (or theme park) and the garden party. As an amusement park, it is called "the three treasures of paradise" with the roller coaster and the merry go round. But Ferris wheels often exist alone on other occasions, and are often used as active viewing platforms.
