What slip ring would you recommend for a ferris wheel and is my motor big enough?

Noobie here,

Mostly a lurker but ready to dive in. I'm toying with building a PVC ferris wheel. Likely 10' tall. 3/4" PVC.

Already have a 110V 1/8hp motor with speed controller and wondering if in y'all's opinion this is big enough?
Also wanted to know which slip ring you would recommend to run 110V outdoor lights on it? Actual amazon or ebay links would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

That slip ring says 250 rpm's. I think that would be a little too fast for a ferris wheel.
