Today the world's largest Ferris wheel operates in Singapore. The Japanese were engaged in its design and construction, so it is not surprising that it turned out not only to be the highest, but not a single modern attraction can argue with it in reliability. Visitors have the opportunity to stay in its 28 cabins for 28 people each. The largest Ferris wheel in the world allows you to enjoy views of Singapore, parts of Indonesia and Malaysia from a height of 163 meters.
Before the "Soaring Singapore" (that's the name of this attraction) began to work, the leading ferris wheel in height was in London. Those who wish can view the capital of Great Britain in its cabins at the level of 134 meters from the ground. Today's number two in the "World's Largest Ferris Wheel" list is metal and glass booths that offer a mesmerizing view of both the ancient and ultra-modern city.
Such a miracle of technology and scientific progress, but even more impressive in height, alreadyit is planned to build in the capital of Russia for several years. One of the most promising projects is considered to be a 220-meter ferris wheel, which is expected to be built either at the All-Russian Exhibition Center, or in Gorky Park, or on Vernadsky Avenue. Such ambitious plans arose from the local authorities back in 2002, but then the project remained on paper.
Whether Moscow will soon receive the largest Ferris wheel in the world is not yet clear. But serious steps have already been taken towards the implementation of these plans. So, for example, today the attraction project has been approved. It was designed by an American architectural firm, whose famous works include London's River Park and the 632-meter-high Shanghai skyscraper.
It is planned that the largest Ferris wheel in the world, which can be built in Moscow, will have a non-standard look. Firstly, its design does not provide for the classic spokes that connect the booths to the wheel axle. They will move on rails. Secondly, a 320-meter-high spire, which will be erected close to it, will attract special attention to the Moscow ferris wheel. And at the foot of the attraction there will be another wheel, however, already in a horizontal position from the ground, where various restaurants, shops, cinemas and even a 24-hour ice rink will be located around the perimeter. Inside this ring, according to the project, fountains and a registry office will operate, gardens will bloom under it. Naturally, a structure of this magnitude should have a separate parking lot, which is planned to be built in the immediate vicinity.proximity to the entertainment complex. Its capacity is 2.5 thousand cars.
But for now, these are all just plans, and "Moscow View" (the working name of the attraction) exists only on paper and in electronic form. There are already companies that are ready to invest in this grandiose construction, but the corresponding competitions have not yet been held. In Russia, Sochi is considered the city where the largest Ferris wheel is already operating. Its height is just over 80 meters. 140 people can ride it at the same time.
