Dubai is set to open the world's largest observation wheel, Ain Dubai, in October. It's almost twice the height of the London Eye and can carry 1,750 passengers at a time.

In terms of passenger experience, given this is Dubai, it's naturally a step above your standard ferris wheel ride.

But perhaps their biggest coup was roping in Kevin Dyer to take up the role of Ain Dubai's operation director. Dyer is the former technical director for the London Eye. In doing so, they had been able to"double the life of the cables" by looking at the stress cycles and the real loads on each of the cables of the London Eye, rather than the predicted loads, Brooke said.

A 135-meter-high framing structure, constructed from crane mast sections, was used to drop the wheel's legs into place. A 300-tonne truss was constructed to secure the eight sections of the rim. A bespoke jacking system then pushed each rim segment 100 meters into the air, where they were attached to the spindle, rotated, and another segment was attached.

Dear God (or do I mean Allah?): To be stuck in that place for one nanosecond is akin to being in hell. They're adept at exposing how much capitalists love to be mesmerized... even if it means spiritual peril for the capitalist. Jesus hated greedy people.
