Dubai to build world's biggest Ferris wheel
|
|
Dubai's ruler has approved a $1.6 billion (¥150 billion) island development project that would be home to what's billed as the world's biggest Ferris wheel. The project reflects a renewed appetite in Dubai for extravagance as the economy rebounds from a debt-driven slump during the past three years. The official WAM news agency said Feb. 13 that the Ferris wheel — dubbed the Dubai Eye — will stand 210 meters, exceeding the London Eye's 135 meters. Construction is set to begin this year. Dubai has proposed a series of mega projects reminiscent of its boom years before the downturn hit in 2009. (AP)
