A Ferris wheel (to quote from Wikipedia) is a structure consisting of a rotating upright wheel with passenger cars (sometimes referred to as gondolas or capsules) attached to the rim in such a way that as the wheel turns, the cars are kept upright, usually by gravity. What is claimed to be the world’s biggest (80 meters or 262 feet from top to bottom) opened to the public in Puebla this week. Goal is to attract more tourists to Puebla, a city about 80 miles east of Mexico City, which already has many attractions ranging from good food to good night life, historical buildings and even the world’s largest pyramid (by volume, not height). All that Puebla lacks is a beach.
