The site is planned as a world-class sustainable venue emphasizing the visual history of New York, advanced technology and state-of-the-art sustainability elements. The Wheel will accommodate up to 1400 people per 38 minute ride, welcoming as many as 30,000 visitors per day and an anticipated 3-4 million visitors per year.
