The 150 foot Ferris wheel at Navy Pier is modeled after the world’s first Ferris wheel, which made it’s debut at Chicago’s 1893 World Colombian Exposition, only it is 90 feet shorter than the first wheel.

Love ferris wheels and roller coasters in general. the bigger and faster the better. The navy pier one looks too small. it needs to be gigantic like a big ass wisconsin wheel of cheese.

now D, why would it be like a wisconsin wheel of cheese when it’s in illinois?
dallas // Jul 13, 2004 at 9:50 am
now im not saying that the navy pier one specifically has to be the big one, i was saying in general that i want to ride a huge ferris wheel that would be the equivilant to the size of a wisconsin wheel of cheese, which to my understanding is frickin huge!
