Some History on the Ferris Wheel......
“The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The term Ferris wheel later came to be used generically for all such structures.”
The article also states that it is also known as the "Big Wheel" or the "Observation Wheel" in other parts of the world, so it is understandable that you had never heard the American term for it before.
I would like for you to finish out 'Pinky's Date' if you would....I'm going to be busy offline most of today, and will check in tonight (in about 10 hours)....I'm going to focus on Jake and his gathering of the various materials he needs to carry out his evil plan....Plus, I'm looking forward to see if Tony resists Pinky's advances, or gives in to them for the sake of gaining any information he can use and also keeping his deals with the Preps intact, since they represent the most money going to Tony's enterprises right now.....
