World's Largest Ferris Wheel May Rise & Shine At Staten Island, New York
As per Staten Island Advance's report, New York's third largest borough- Staten Island- could be hosting the world's largest ferris wheel soon. The New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) has collaborated with a company to get a 600 foot wheel in site close to the ferry terminal. If everything goes as planned, this wheel shall replace Singapore Flyer's wheel as the world's largest.

Singapore Flyer
If at all this ferris wheel is materialized, it would result in a huge boost in the economic figures of that area in likes of tourist money, if the success of similar structures like Flyer and London Eye is anything to go by. Two sites, presently occupied for parking needs are being considered for redevelopment. The parking then needs to be replaced. Top-line retails shall seemingly be employed in the second site, which would be built on stilts over an existing parking lot, that will stay as it is. All developmental plans shall proceed only after getting a nod of approval from The City Council.
