Kolkata Eye, Unbuilt Ferris wheel near Hooghly River, Kolkata, India.
The proposed observation wheel would have reached a height of 120 meters with 30 passenger capsules rotating above the Hooghly River.
The project initiated in 2011 with a budget of 100 crore rupees aimed to create a major observation structure similar to other global wheels.
The structure's name caused legal concerns with Merlin Entertainment company, leading to its later designation as Kolkata Giant Wheel.
The design included plans for accommodating 500 passengers with a complete revolution lasting 30 minutes above the city landscape.
Despite multiple planning phases and international collaborations, including Chinese manufacturers, the structure remained unrealized by 2017.
