New York Wheel, Observation wheel in Staten Island, US
The New York Wheel reaches 630 feet into the sky next to the Empire Outlets retail complex in the St. George neighborhood.
The wheel project, announced in 2012 to transform Staten Island into a tourist destination, encountered financial difficulties and construction delays until 2018.
The structure includes 36 glass-enclosed capsules designed to accommodate 40 passengers each for panoramic views of Manhattan and New York Harbor.
The completed parking garage near the Staten Island Ferry terminal provides spaces for 950 vehicles to facilitate access to the attraction.
The engineering plans required specialized equipment to lift and secure massive steel components weighing several hundred tons each during construction.
