Great structure, but I would enjoy it more if it was closer to the city skyscrapers, than just watching the sea and the distant skyline from the highest point.

It8s true that poverty should never be excused, especially to be covered up by vanity projects, but I do think the big malls are beneficial since the heat is so unbearable (50 C) and there is not place to walk or exercise outside.

It is ironic that the narrator says "only in Dubai" would an 82 meter observation wheel be built, considering that the original observation wheel was 80.4 meters, built in Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair. That Ferris wheel (the rightful name, after its designer Washington Gale Ferris) could also hold 2,160 passengers in 36 cars the size of train cars, above the Dubai wheel's 1,750 capacity. Know your history!

@rodrigomesquita268 3 года назад

There is something wrong. There are 192 cables that measure half the height of the wheel, or 125 meteres. 192 x 125 = 24000 meters = 24 km.

London Eye is so popular because it is slap bang in the middle of one of the worlds most icon cities meaning it's very convenient, it's in a terrific location on the Southbank and it also has more than enough significant landmarks around it to make it worthwhile and London looks amazing day or night. This wheel however I don't know, is on an island far away from the main city, hopefully, its sheer size though should help make it a success.
