Unreferenced transportable wheels

[edit]

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)[reply]

Unreferenced fixed wheels

[edit]

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)[reply]

Criteria for inclusion

[edit]

I propose that wheels only be included if valid references can be provided that confirm at least two of the following:

  • name
  • year (of opening)
  • overall height
  • coordinates (unreferenced coordinates acceptable if the wheel is visible on Google Maps or similar)

Wheels with no name

[edit]

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)[reply]

Darien Lake Ferris wheel

[edit]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Angkor Eye in Cambodia

[edit]

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)[reply]

Requested move 12 October 2024

[edit]

List of Ferris wheels → List of tallest Ferris wheels – There is no list of all buildings or office centers, all amusement parks, etc., just as the idea of ​​including all Ferris wheels in the world in one list is absurd. I believe the article should be renamed, as the number of Ferris wheels in the world is absolutely huge, likely measured in thousands, and including all of them in a list is simply impossible! And not necessary, as there is no encyclopedic significance in all Ferris wheels ranging from 10-20 meters in height, from every small town, amusement park, or even shopping center... Perhaps the original idea of ​​the article was the TOP of the tallest Ferris wheels in the world, but then the title simply does not correspond to the content and the article needs to be renamed.

The only, in my opinion, controversial point is what should be the threshold for including a wheel in the list. My opinion - definitely not less than 80 meters (possibly more - 90 or even 100), otherwise there will be too many wheels and it will be difficult to maintain the relevance of the article. As an argument, I would like to refer to the sale of 88-meter-high wheels on alibaba, which means that wheels of this height can be mass-produced and installed all over the world for a relatively low price for such a giant. Another example - I tried to find a source to confirm the Phnom Penh Eye wheel from Cambodia (from this article), 88 meters high, and found only one very questionable source, and it was not even possible to determine if such a wheel exists or not... Therefore, there is a corresponding problem with wheels up to 80 meters in height, while there are no such problems with wheels ranging from 90-100 meters in height.

  • Oppose, if a Ferris wheel has an article it should be listed here, but let's leave the criteria or entry wording for another discussion (i.e., the suggested criteria would eliminate the original Ferris wheel). Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
