^^ Yeah that sucker is going to be 28 stories taller than my office building. That's a little scary.

They should build a coaster on the side of it like TTD. LOL
Then they could have the tallest coaster and Ferris wheel.
I wonder what Mr. Ferris would think of this thing.

Honestly what's the point? It seems to be a competition of who has the bigger ferris wheel. You know, pretty soon, they're going to be so high, nobody will ride them. I'm pretty sure, some people already won't. Besides claiming to have the largest ferris wheel (until a bigger one is built) there's really nothing special.

Wow. I am stunned at the size of this thing. I would love to ride one of the giant ferris wheels. Hopefully I will get to at some point down the road.

I was just about to say that.
The picture screams nothing less than Paramount.

I wouldn't mind riding that. I can see businesses renting out pods or carriages for dinners or events... awesome!

^Dinner on a ferris wheel. Great idea. I could see a permanent resteraunt being added to some of the carriages. I'd like to eat there.

Ok. Now what? Sitting in an air-conditioned car? I'll go to the Empire State Building instead.

The worlds tallest ferris wheel? Ummm, I see nothing to brag about on this thing. One of the slowest amusment park rides known to man and they want to make it the biggest. Sure you can get a nice view more than likely, but thats what skyscrapers are for. I honestly don't see the point.

It's just like every coaster that's the "biggest, tallest, fastest, etc". It's just a marketing tool.
It doesn't neccesarily make it a better ride.

That's very large to say the least. I think I would be more afraid to ride this than any coaster I know of. HUGE.
