The term Ferris wheel comes from the maker of one of the first examples constructed for Chicago’s World’s Columbian Exposition by George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr in 1893.
Cosmo Clock 21 is a 134 meter tall ferris wheel at the Cosmo World amusement park in the Minato Mirai 21 district of Yokohama, Japan. When it first opened, it was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel, until the completion of the 108-metre (354 ft) Igosu 108 in Shiga, Japan, in 1992.
