Talk:List of Ferris wheels

Unreferenced transportable wheels
I moved the following transportable wheels which don't have their own articles and which have no references from the list to here. Please add them back to the list, in overall height order, as valid references become available, and then " strike " them from this page. Thanks. 2.26.132.54 (talk) 21:35, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Unreferenced fixed wheels
I moved the following fixed wheels which don't have their own articles and which have no references from the list to here. Please add them back to the list, in overall height order, as valid references become available, and then " strike " them from this page. Thanks.
 * While resolving a large number of formatting and other consistency issues in the table below, I've streamlined the content to simplify editing. The main difference is that this table only shows metric height. When moving a wheel from the table below to the table on the article page, please copy the formatting used on the article page, which includes the conversion from m to ft. Thanks. 92.40.243.109 (talk) 23:03, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Criteria for inclusion
I propose that wheels only be included if valid references can be provided that confirm at least two of the following: 92.40.248.32 (talk) 06:08, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * name
 * year (of opening)
 * overall height
 * coordinates (unreferenced coordinates acceptable if the wheel is visible on Google Maps or similar)

Wheels with no name
The list currently includes a number of wheels which show only a question mark in the 'Name' column. I propose to replace each of these question marks with the name that would most likely be given to a Wikipedia article specifically about that particular wheel, if such an article were to exist. In practice this will be the name of the location, followed by 'Ferris wheel' (with a lower case 'l' – 'Ferris wheel' being a description, whereas 'Ferris Wheel' is a proper name, or part of a proper name). I think this is uncontroversial, so I am going to go ahead and make these changes immediately. If anyone sees any problems with this, or has an alternative suggestion, please discuss here. Thanks. 82.132.237.146 (talk) 10:18, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Darien Lake Ferris wheel
Please include the Darien Lake Ferris wheel

The Giant Wheel, originally built for the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tenn. The Giant Wheel was the largest Ferris wheel in the world at the time and the park's tallest attraction at 165 feet.

The Giant Wheel provides an incredible view of the midway and the lake, and it showcased a light display at night.

If I counted correctly the ferris wheel has 30 cars with each car having room for 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.74.43.82 (talk) 11:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Tried, with edits reverted (by a heroic IP address that seems to own this article) because apparently no references mean the wheel doesn't exist. I'll try again but apparently that part of high school about citing sources that I always glazed over means I apparently can't ever edit a Wiki article. →ClarkCTTalk @ 01:37, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Angkor Eye in Cambodia
Hi, everyone. I just uploaded an image of the Angkor Eye to Commons. It doesn't seem to be in the list. Its official site lists it as 85 m and opened in March 2020. BTW, there's some problem with the list too. The Prince Manor Eye Ferris wheel listed for Cambodia has coordinates that place it in Thailand. Jason Quinn (talk) 05:22, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
