Four-Seat Ferris Wheel
 ✖  |
We got the idea to build a four-seat Ferris wheel from an old one that a neighbor had. It starts about 10 ft. 6 in. high and turns at the center on sealed bearings. When riding you balance people of equal weight across from each other, and as each person gets to the bottom they give a push off the ground to keep it spinning. Although the original one was made as playground equipment for children, we beefed it up so adults can take their turn going around, too. It has been a lot of fun for our four children, but could be dangerous if not used with caution and adult supervision. (Jared Jamison, 2330 Co. Rd. 76, Quinter, Kansas 67742 ph 785 754-2157)
