FERRIS WHEELS<br />
AUTUMN<br />
IN IDIOMS<br />
Not everyone knows that the first ferris<br />
wheel was in fact the American architectural<br />
answer to the Eiffel Tower. The<br />
Americans were determined to design<br />
something that would surpass the splendour<br />
of the French invention. The original<br />
ferris wheel was presented at the World’s<br />
Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.<br />
It was equipped with 36 cars and required<br />
20 minutes to complete two revolutions.<br />
One of the most well-known contemporary<br />
ferris wheels is the London Eye which in<br />
the year 2000 was the tallest ferris wheel<br />
in the world. In Poland, the landscape can<br />
be admired from a ferris wheel in Gdańsk,<br />
which is called AmberSky and has 36<br />
air-conditioned cars. At present, the tallest<br />
ferris wheel is the High Roller in Vegas,<br />
however, soon it will be conquered in size<br />
by a ferris wheel which is being built in<br />
Dubai.<br />
