Lightning tends to strike the tallest object in the vicinity. Since Ferris wheels are very tall that does make them a likely target, though other, taller features may still have a higher chance of being hit.

Lightning will strike the tallest object in an area regardless of its shape, so a Ferris wheel may be a potential target if it is the tallest structure nearby. However, lightning is unpredictable, and it can strike any object that provides a path of least resistance for the electrical discharge.
