A history of one of the world's most popular amusement rides: the Big Wheel.

Originally released in 1993 as part of the celebrations of the 100th Anniversary of the Columbian Exposition, this updated book tells the story of the inventor of the Big Wheel, George Ferris, and the man behind the Eli Bridge big wheels, William E. Sullivan. With pictures taken of wheels over their 100-year history, including installations in the US and UK, this is a fascinating book about one of the greatest amusement park and fairground rides.
