Sky Dream Fukuoka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sky Dream at Night
At 112 meters in diameter and 120 meters in height, Sky Dream Fukuoka, the giant Ferris wheel of Evergreen Marinoa (a large Japanese outlet mall), dominates the harbor of Fukuoka, Japan's western skyline. The wheel is the tallest wheel in Asia. At night the wheel is lit, standing out in the skyline.
The largest Ferris-type wheel in the world is London, England's observation wheel the London Eye which is 135 metres tall. Because observation wheels are sometimes considered to be of another kind of construction and counted separately, Sky Dream Fukuoka may be the tallest Ferris wheel in the world.
