4 Directions: Read the selection and answer the questions. The Strange Idea of George Ferris by June Swanson 2 3 Have you ridden a Ferris wheel lately? Can you imagine the soaring feeling as you are pulled to the top and then swished down to the bottom again? Can you imagine the view as you look out over roofs and treetops? (Or will your eyes be closed?) Today a Ferris wheel is usually forty to sixty feet tall. That seems very high when you re on the top looking down. But the first Ferris wheel was 264 feet high taller than a twenty-story building! Can you imagine the view from the top of that? The first Ferris wheel was built for the 893 World s Fair, the World s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. The Eiffel Tower had been a great success for the fair in Paris in 889, and they wanted something like that. 4 George Ferris submitted drawings of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris didn t give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 893. Ferris Wheel at the 893 World s Fair in Chicago Today s Ferris wheels have twelve to sixteen seats, which each carry two or three people. But that first one had thirty-six enclosed cars, each holding sixty passengers. When filled, it carried 2,60 people. During that summer in Chicago, one-and-a-half million people rode the Ferris wheel. Six platforms were used to load and unload passengers. Each ride was two full turns of the wheel. On the first turn, it made six stops for loading. Then the second turn was a nonstop nine-minute ride. Each car had five large glass windows in front and in back, giving everyone a great view of Chicago and Lake Michigan. After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 904 it was moved again this time to St. 2 Go On

5 Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair in St. Louis closed, the wheel stood unused. In 906 it was finally sold to a wrecking company for scrap metal. It took 200 pounds of dynamite to bring it down. 8 9 Fortunately a Chicago bridge builder, W.E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today. But, whenever you ride one, remember that it all began with George Ferris s strange idea! PLR0604ONP049 Go On 3
