Is a road trip part of your summer travel plans? Perhaps you’ll encounter some of the Weird Roadside Attractions we’ll talk about this week on the Wiki Corner! If you find yourself driving through Detroit, you might see the Uniroyal Giant Tire alongside I-94 in the suburb of Allen Park! The 80-foot-tall tire was originally built as a Ferris wheel for the 1964 New York World’s Fair. It cost $750,000 to construct and carried over 2 million people at the fair. When the fair ended in 196, US Rubber offered to donate it to New York City or any other entity that wanted it, citing transportation costs of $300,000. They didn’t get any takers, however, so it was disassembled and shipped to Allen Park and reassembled outside the company’s Midwest corporate headquarters. It’s anchored in 24 feet of concrete, so it can withstand hurricane-force winds. And the tire is made out of a polyester resin reinforced with glass fiber, so it’s flame resistant. It’s the biggest non-production scale model of a tire ever built, and one of the world’s largest roadside attractions. Learn more in the audio below.
