Ferris wheel
I know noria is the word, but some Spanish speakers I know do not know this word. In your experience is noria the common term?

Noria? It means this:
 Where are you friends from? I'm from Spain, and everybody knows the word.

A "noria" here is a waterwheel, which is rather associated with colonial and some rural water systems, so it's a word that we don't use much, as the object itself is rarely seen.

Yo conozco la noria como un pozo de agua que se saca con un balde amarrado a una cuerda. Algo parecido a esto ► http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/d...A_1487706e.jpg
