SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of designing and manufacturing a Concentric Ferris wheel, characterized by seats arranged in two or more concentric circles. While the design is possible, significant challenges arise regarding passenger loading and unloading, particularly for those seated in the inner ring, which necessitates climbing stairs or using an elevator. Additionally, the experience for passengers on the inner ring may be compromised as they do not reach the full height of the ride.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of mechanical engineering principles
  • Knowledge of passenger safety regulations in amusement rides
  • Familiarity with design software for structural engineering
  • Experience in project management for large-scale manufacturing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research passenger flow optimization in amusement rides
  • Explore safety standards for multi-level amusement attractions
  • Investigate design software options like AutoCAD for structural modeling
  • Study case studies of successful Ferris wheel designs and their operational challenges
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, amusement park designers, project managers, and anyone involved in the design and manufacturing of amusement rides will benefit from this discussion.

By "Concentric Ferris wheel" I believe you mean a ferris wheel where the arrangement of the seats form 2 or more concentric circles.
It is certainly possible to design such a thing. But there would be issues: passenger loading and unloading would; which passengers get the inside ring that requires climbing stairs or using an elevator to get to it and then doesn't give a full ride to the top.
