Description

The present invention relates to a ferris wheel.

In recent years, attention has been focused on a ferris wheel that can be enjoyed by using the size as a structure by applying electrical decoration.
And in the conventional ferris wheel, the arc tube is provided on the rotating wheel. That is, the arc tube is attached only to the radial ridges that are radially arranged to constitute the rotating wheel.

Therefore, in the conventional Ferris wheel, you can enjoy various color changes when viewed from a distant position that is some distance away from the Ferris wheel, but the color change is difficult to understand from the position near the Ferris wheel and directly below, and the fun is lacking. There is a drawback that the impact is small for a large Ferris wheel.
In particular, in a ferris wheel attached to a building in the city, the above-mentioned drawbacks appear remarkably because it is viewed from directly under the ferris wheel or from the opposite side of the road facing the building.
