Hartje’s editorial calls to mind the news that New York is bringing the New York Wheel to Staten Island as part of a new complex on the Staten Island waterfront. At 625 feet it will be 5 feet taller than the planned High Roller in Las Vegas. Don’t be surprised if that planned height changes. New York Wheel will be 84 feet taller than the Singapore Flyer and able to carry over 1400 passengers at one time.
The New York Wheel will have 36 capsules, each able to carry up to 40 passengers. Expected to draw 30,000 riders a day during peak season, adding up to 4.5 million visitors per year. At the wheel’s base will be a 100,000-square-foot terminal building, which will house retail, restaurant and theater space, along with exhibitions about New York City history, alternative energy and environmental sustainability.Not far will be Harbor Commons, a 350,000-square-foot retail complex with outlet stores, restaurants and a 200-room hotel with views of the Manhattan skyline.
To be designed by some of the same people that worked on the London Eye, construction is expected to begin in early 2014, with the goal of opening by the end of 2015. via Gadling.com
