ride the ferris wheel
When in a funfair can we say:
I rode the ferris Wheel , and I went for a ride on the ferrris Wheel ?
I mean, which is the best verb to say that you were in a ride?
Thanks
Both are correct, although you would capitalize "Ferris" since that is a person's name.
Note that "funfair" is UK English, which is equivalent to an "amusement park" in the USA. A "traveling funfair" would be equivalent to a "carnival" in the USA.

I guess I should give an example of my previous comment. Let's say you and a friend got separated at the fair and just got back together:
A- "Where did you go?"
B- "I went for a ride on the Ferris Wheel."
A- "What did you do?"
B- "I rode the Ferris Wheel."
A- "What have you been doing?"
B- "I've been riding the Ferris Wheel."

Both sentences are correct. Which one you would use will depend on the conversation.
The second sentence is just a little more formal.
