Vote expected Monday on giant downtown Ferris wheel – Atlanta Business Chronicle

The Atlanta City Council is expected to vote Monday whether to allow a private developer to build a 20-story Ferris wheel in a parking lot across from Centennial Olympic Park, reports Atlanta Business Chronicle broadcast partner WXIA-TV.

An affiliate of St. Louis-based Pacific Development LLC recently filed plans for a 180-foot-tall Ferris wheel called “SkyView.”

The amusement is expected to feature 42 “fully enclosed climate-controlled gondolas” that fit six people each. Rides would take 12 to 15 minutes and promise views of Centennial Olympic Park and the downtown skyline.
