They Keep Reaching Higher and Higher
Ferris wheel technology has only improved since then. Most of today’s Ferris wheels are much
larger than that first one. The largest in the world is the "Singapore Flyer," which stands slightly taller than
twice what Ferris’s did!
Today, the Ferris wheel is the most common amusement park ride. But that does not mean you
should take them for granted. Instead, be thankful for Ferris’ invention. The next time you’re at an
amusement park, don’t just look up at the impressive wheel in the sky on your way to a newer attraction.
Take it for a spin!
