The Great Wheel was built for the Empire of India Exhibition at Earls Court, London, in the United Kingdom. Construction began in March 1894 at the works of Maudslay, Sons and Field in Greenwich〔(The Great Wheel, Earl's Court Exhibition Ground )〕 and it opened to the public on 17 July 1895.〔(The Ferris Wheel's London Rival )〕 Modelled on the original Ferris Wheel which featured at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, US, it was tall〔(Spot the difference: London landmarks, then and now )〕 and in diameter. It stayed in service until 1906, by which time its 40 cars (each with a capacity of 40 persons) had carried over 2.5 million passengers. It was demolished in 1907〔(The Great Wheel, London )〕 following its last use at the Imperial Austrian Exhibition.
