| It sounds neat and it's probably something we'd try at least once.

| Doesn't interest me in the least. Especially not for $15-$20 a pop. $100 for my family to ride a 30 minute glorified ferris wheel? No thanks, I'd rather be in Disney!

| yeah, what dave said....and he also had an interesting article about disney having a tethered hotair balloon where the current PI is. not sure that i would ride that or the ferris wheel....and lightning, hurricanes, etc, what they are around here would also give me pause to even consider building these things. guess that is why i am a nurse and not a construction engineer!!!!  |

| I have always said that Disney should put a ferris wheel at the Boardwalk Mouse Extra but now we get a balloon at DTD. I still would like to see them blow up the Atlantic Dance Hall for a wheel

| I wouldn't bother (but then again on my one trip upon the London Eye, I got to the top and screamed 'GET ME OFF HERE' - some Japanese tourists who were in the same capsule are probably still having nightmares). But still, much as I love Orlando, it's not exactly interesting from the air, is it?

| I guess we could approximate the view using google earth! Has anyone set up a flyover or anything that would show the view?

| I've ridden the London Eye and it was great. But then, there may be more to see from the air over London than Orlando.
