Doomed New York Wheel could still be happening after all
The developers of the New York Wheel killed plans to build a 630-foot observation wheel on Staten Island in October, amid skyrocketing costs and lengthy delays in getting the project completed. But, NY1 learned Tuesday that plans are in the works to bring the project back to life.
Archinect has been covering the tumultuous history of what was once promoted as "the tallest observation wheel in the Western Hemisphere" with spectacular views from Staten Island's North Shore.

This 2016 Instagram post proudly announces the original target size. The new, revived wheel could be considerably smaller.
As NY1 reports now, the proposed revival of the less-than fortunate wheel "would be closer to the size of the 443-foot London Eye than the 630-foot wheel initially envisioned, but it could use the foundation that's already been built."
