I don't like heights.

I don't like Ferris wheels.

I really don't like the thought of a spokeless Ferris wheel.

quote:
South Korea has announced that it will be building the world's largest hubless Ferris wheel. The futuristic structure is called Seoul Ring, and it's set to go up in Haneul Park. The location will mean that guests will get a sweeping view of Seoul's Hangang River. Set to be completed by 2025, the Ferris wheel is a major tourism investment in the city.

That looks very cool!

I hope the pods are big enough that with 25 people in it, everyone still gets a good view. I'd be more likely to go in this than on that glass platform that juts out over the Grand Canyon.

I went on the London Eye. Went early on a Sunday morning in the off season, so my companion and I were the only ones in our capsule. It was okay, but not knock-yer-sox-off amazing.

I love roller-coasters, too. I wanted to go on the ancient wooden one in Blackpool (100 years old this year!), but it was windy the day I was there, so they weren't running it. My companion and I went on the new, bigger, faster one, instead.

Original Ferris Wheel at the 1893 Columbian Exposition ...

So much of the modern world came out of the White City in Chicago.

I’d do it if there was a nice view. Otherwise they are kind of boring, especially when loading and unloading.
