the spokeless Ferris wheel,
in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, China, the wheel is named "shi lai yun zhuan," which means 'turn of fortune', its height will measure 89 meters and the total weight will be 3,000 tons, the wheel costs a total of $24 million, hopefully it will be fully operational in October this year,
we first mentioned the construction of the wheel way back in January, among the top 10 highest Ferris wheels in the world, seven of them are in China, the highest Ferris wheel in the world is the Singapore Flyer at 165 metres (541ft) tall, the largest spokeless wheel is "The Big O" in Tokyo which is around 60 meters (196ft) tall, the ‘turn of fortune’ will almost be 24 meters taller,
as China's Spoke less Wheel is almost completing construction, New York is also sketching out an ambitious plan of building a huge Ferris wheel on Staten Island, Russia is also reportedly considering construction of its own spokeless Ferris wheel, in March it published designs for a 722ft tall Ferris wheel to be built in the capital, tentatively named Moscow View it will top the Singapore Flyer and the 443ft London Eye, I never knew that Ferris wheeling could be so popular.
