As reported by The Sun, a woman in Pennsylvania has fallen in love with an 80ft high ferris wheel and plans to marry it.

Amy Wolfe, 33, she rides the amusement park ride 300 times a year and even gazes at a picture of it while in bed.

Wolfe, who has never had a boyfriend, suffers from a rare condition called ‘objectum sexuality’ where people develop attractions to objects.

She says she will marry the ride called 1001 Nachts and change her surname to Weber, the name of the ride’s manufacturer.

“I know people think it’s weird but I love him as much as women love their husbands and know we’ll be together forever,” she said.

Miss Wolfe first fell in love with 1001, based in an amusement park 80 miles from her Pennsylvania home, when she was just 13.

“I was instantly attracted to him sexually and mentally. I wasn’t freaked out as it just felt so natural but I didn’t tell anyone about it because I knew it wasn’t ‘normal’ to have feelings for a fairground ride.”

he unemployed church organist rides 1001 up to 30 times each time she visits.

Miss Wolfe said: “I tell him how much I’ve missed him and what I’ve been up to since my last visit. And I kiss the bits I can reach. The staff are really understanding.”
