The Incredible Machine Everyone has a favorite attraction at an amusement park, and I am no different. However, unlike
most people who seem to prefer rollercoasters, my favorite ride is a little gentler. Every time I go
to Coney Island, Navy Pier, or the Santa Monica Pier, I absolutely have to ride the Ferris wheel
The Fems wheel is simple and yet also quite complex. That is riding it is easy, but how it works
is complicated. A series of carts are attached to a wheel, which is attached to a rim. That rim
rotates vertically around an axis, and gravity keeps the carts upright. As simple as the ride seems,
only advanced engineers can make safe and fun Ferris wheels​
