According to WLUK, the nation's largest producer of amusement rides and Ferris wheels, Chance Rides Manufacturing Inc. -- located in Wichita, Kansas -- is making the big wheel.



"The Big Wheel" is Bay Beach's second Ferris wheel. WLUK says that one is more of a thrill ride and The Big Wheel will be slower and more scenic for riders.
