A Ferris wheel is a large wheel shaped mechanical construction facility, with a passenger cabin hanging from the edge of the wheel for passengers to ride on(Gondola). Passengers sit on the Ferris wheel and slowly turn upwards, overlooking the surrounding scenery from a high altitude. The most common Ferris wheel usually appears in amusement parks (or theme parks) and park fairs. As a type of amusement park ride, it is known as the "Three Treasures of Amusement Parks" along with roller coasters and carousels. But the Ferris wheel often exists alone in other occasions, usually used as a viewing platform for activities.
