The first ever ferris wheel was made for the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. American Engineer, George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. made this huge structure where a 250-foot wheel would rotate and carry 2160 people in boxes the size of train cars. The ferris wheel currently up on Chicago's Navy Pier has a 140-foot diameter and carries 240 people.
