it would probably be better to sense the ferris wheel, get it's rotation and then have chair calculate it's offset from the wheel and move there.
CODE
vector offset = <0.0, 0.0, 5.5>; // the chair at the top

// blah blah... repeateing sensor...
sensor(integer n)
{
	 llSetPos(llDetectedPos(0) + (offset * llDetectedRot(0)));
}
(I think... rotations still befuddle me now and again.)

Since i too have to script knowledge equivalent to a grapefruit. i'm still learning a lot.

if we get the child prim (basket) to look at a specific coordinate below (on the ground)
It should work?

Pierre, the example code snippet at http://lslwiki.com/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=llLookAt (or an adaptation thereof) may be useful to you.
