Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel
Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel
The Riesenrad (meaning \"giant wheel\") is a Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Vienna, Austria. It was one of the first Ferris wheels, erected in 1897 to celebrate Emperor Franz Josef I\'s golden Jubilee. The designer was an Englishman, Walter Bassett, which explains why the wheel\'s diameter is a round number in Imperial units - 200 feet (approximately 61 m). The Riesenrad is now one of Vienna\'s most popular tourist attractions, and symbolises the city for many people.
