The Incredible Machine


The first man to create the Ferris Wheel was George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. He designed this machine for the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. It was the tallest attraction there, standing at 264 feet high. In fact, the original Ferris Wheel was designed as much to be seen as to be ridden. I found this information from a reading comprehension activity that I did.
