This Great Observation Wheel of China will be the biggest in the world once fully constructed, scheduled to be completed by end 2009..jpg)
It will be at a height of 208m weighing 2,800 tons that comes with 48 capsules to cater for visitors. Each capsule could fit in 40 people which is like a normal public transport bus in Malaysia that seats 44 people. Just imagine how big is one capsule.
It seems that the Great Dubai Wheel and Singapore Flyer (which I have blogged about) are under the same management company Great Wheel Corporation, that will operate the Beijing Wheel.Tags: China, Beijing, Beijing Wheel, Great Observation Wheel of China, Great Wheel of China, Great Dubai Wheel, Singapore Flyer, Travel, Great Wheel Corporation

read about it in the papers. i wonder how much are they going to charge per ride?
Singapore Flyer (under the same managament company) is charging S$29 per ride. so, it should be a bit higher than Singapore's pricing since it will be the world's tallest and could fit in 40 people per capsule compared to Singapore's capsule which could fit around 28 persons.
