Presents the story of one of the engineering marvels of both the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries, the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel, perhaps more than any other amusement ride, symbolizes all that is magic about amusement parks and county fairs. Towering above the carousel, hot dog stands, and kiddie rides, it lifts young and old alike.
