(Colorado) The Ferris wheel has captivated hearts for over a century.

The large, slow-turning wheel provides stunning views of the surrounding area, and it is a thrill ride that is fun for all ages.

The first Ferris wheel was unveiled during the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, and it is named after its designer, George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr.

The iconic ride can now be found almost everywhere, from small-town fairs to big-city landmarks.

Illinois can claim the first Ferris wheel, and Las Vegas has the largest one, but Colorado has the highest one!

The record-setting Ferris wheel is at the base of Pikes Peak in the North Pole.

The North Pole: Home of Santa's Workshop is a beloved Christmas-themed amusement park in Cascade, Colorado, a few miles west of Colorado Springs.

The park has been a Colorado treasure since 1956.

It was designed by a former Walt Disney artist and has a cute village ("Santa's Village") and 24 holiday-themed rides, including the world’s highest Ferris wheel and a vintage carousel from 1919.

It is a must-visit destination for everyone who loves Christmas, nostalgic treasures, and Ferris wheels!
