Ferris Wheel

"Did I ever tell you how much I like Ferris Wheels?"

- John Sheppard

A Ferris wheel (also known as an observation wheel or big wheel) is a nonbuilding structure consisting of a rotating upright wheel with passenger cars (sometimes referred to as gondolas or capsules) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, the cars are kept upright, usually by gravity. Major John Sheppard has mentioned several times he likes them.
