"Over The Top" Self-Propelled Ferris Wheel

This 2-person Ferris wheel is powered by the riders, using arm muscles to shift their weight. Standing 20 feet tall and made of plywood, it's truly a green machine.

About the Maker(s)

Steven White Woodworking

I design and build treehouses, boats, wind tunnels, staircases, furniture, and now self-propelled amusement park rides. Aesthetics is foremost in my designs: how good it looks is as important as how well it works.
