"This was the best ride ever, guys." — Isabella[src] |
The Giant Ferris Wheel is an amusement ride constructed by Phineas and Ferb for a dose of extraordinary revolving wheel pleasure.
History[]
One afternoon, Candace is desperately trying to get her mother to witness an enormous invention originated by Phineas and Ferb. As the parent unloads the groceries inside, the boys begin sending off their ride guests in succession to cease operations. A foreign blast strikes the midpoint gear of the structure during the process, detaching it from the base in a rolling motion. Failing again to bust her brothers, the disheartened teenager channels her frustration with an imitation of her family's end-of-day routine ("Leave the Busting to Us!").
Design[]
The Giant Ferris Wheel is an observation wheel with a light gray holed rectangular base, two center-converging light gray masts, a gray cylindrical support, a white rotator ring, 35 gray cables, a light gray rim, two light gray triangular proppers, and red capsules embodying gold seats and gray bar restraints.
Mechanics[]
The Giant Ferris Wheel is a rotating ride working on electric motors. Every mounted pod is gyrated along the wheel's extension by the mechanical potential held on the spinner piece, the foundation of which statically equilibrates the circling system. A gray floor lever can be used to mediate the mechanism's flow and stops.
Background Information[]
- When the Ferris wheel is first shown, a carnival fanfare plays in the background.
- Known passengers of the ride are Isabella, Holly, two astronauts, and two yellow aliens.
- Exiting the ride, Isabella expresses her belief that the wheel is the best entertainment structure ever made.
- One of the spacemen requests Phineas and Ferb to send them to space, indicating that the wheel may have an implement that ejects people into the atmosphere.
- The aliens greet the boys with the phrase "Erimnevop Yelsgnik Nad", Dan Povenmire's full name spelled backwards.
- From what is visible, a total number of about 28 cars can be deduced as the ride's full capacity, adding up to a maximum of 56 riders at once, separated in two per car.
- Since Perry is seen flying by ahead of the ray, it can be presumed that its source is an evil scheme of Doofenshmirtz.
- The Giant Ferris Wheel was an item in the carnival map of the Summer Vacation Summerizer. Combining it with Isabella resulted in an animation of her, Phineas, Ferb, Vanessa, Doofenshmirtz holding Balloony, Candace, Jeremy, Monogram, Carl, Linda, Lawrence, P. P. Otter, and a mime riding it.
