Ferris vs. Observation

While there are plenty of third-party usages of the term "Ferris" wheel, I believe the trend is to get away from the catch-all term "Ferris" wheel and call the large models observation wheels. Ronald Bussink told me that Geroge Ferris got the recognition he deserved throughout the last century. Now it's time to modernize the name.

Thank you. I've already seen the Star's 'opinion' (note that by their definition, the R80XL doesn't qualify), lamentable PR spiel IMHO. 183.89.118.75 (talk) 22:20, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
