The World's Scariest Ferris Wheel Ride

<div style="text-align: justify;">This Ferris wheel although it looks like the ride of death, it's all an intricate optical illusion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is a video project in which the wheel's structure disappears, you can only see the gondolas and the people floating in space.
