The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Some of the largest modern Ferris wheels have cars mounted on the outside of the rim, with electric motors to independently rotate each car to keep it upright.
- The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, although much smaller wooden wheels of a similar idea predate Ferris's wheel, dating perhaps to the 1500s.
- The generic term "Ferris wheel" is now used in American English for all such structures, which have become a very common type of amusement ride at amusement parks, state fairs, and other fairs or carnivals in the United States.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ferris wheel article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
