Chicago Wheel

Origin
George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr. created the Ferris Wheel for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The event planners wanted something bold and noble to rival the Eiffel Tower in Paris four years earlier. Ferris contacted them and convinced them to build it, helping the fair pull itself into the profit margin. The wheel was dismantled and rebuilt twice; the Warehouse saved it from demolition at the end of the 1904 World’s Fair.

As one of the largest artifacts in the Warehouse, it has been afforded its own separate floor space. The wheel has been spotted many times in flybys through the Warehouse and in some opening credits.

Effects
Violently explodes and regenerates after three rotations. Only works if at least three carriages are occupied.
