George Washington Gale Farris built the first Farris wheel for the World Fair in 1893. The wheel had a diameter of 80 meters (262 ft) and took 10 minutes to complete one revolution (1 rev = 360 degrees or 2π radians). Laura gets on the Ferris wheel at ground level and rides the wheel for 26 minutes, then the Ferris wheel broke down and stopped.
