World S Largest Ferris Wheel

Two years ago, Dubai's skyscraper-studded skyline welcomed a Ferris wheel touted as the world's largest, but it mysteriously stopped turning just months after opening.

The Las Vegas Strip is getting the world's largest Ferris wheel. The outer wheel of the 55-story High Roller ride is scheduled to be hoisted into place today. The gargantuan project is now visible from all over the city, including the airport. Early next year, it will be outfitted with 1,500 LED lights and start its slow spin.

Dubai has added a new item to its top ambitions such as building the world's largest Ferris wheel and bidding for an Angry Birds theme park - a site honoring the Quran.

Turkmenistan, an authoritarian ex-Soviet state with a knack for setting peculiar Guinness World Records, on Friday unveiled the planet's largest Ferris wheel in an enclosed space.
