The “Ferris Wheel” from 2001 was an Earth-orbit space station, not a spaceship.

In the movie, the spaceship "Odyssey One" included a rotating carousel section to store the majority of the ship's crew for the transit to Jupiter. You probably remember the scene where one of the crew jogs around the ring.

Yes, I know. The article mentioned that the spaceship "...spins through the solar system like a giant, futuristic ferris wheel...", which is pretty clearly a reference to the big space station:
