the first funfair was made by An English agricultural engineer named Frederick Savage (1828 to 1897) is credited with inventing a steam engine that could operate fair rides, so that they no longer depended on manpower. This invention opened the door to an array of steam-powered rides, including roundabouts and swing boats. In 1863, a prominent example of a steam-powered ride was the merry-go-round at the Midsummer Fair in Halifax, England. The English "Gallopers" ride emerged in 1891, and it came to be known in Europe and the United States as the "Carousel." The first Ferris wheel appeared at the Chicago World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. It was designed by George Washington Gale Ferris, a bridge architect
