Where is the biggest Ferris wheel in the world?

At present, the Guinness World Record holder and the world's largest Ferris wheel-London Eye in London, England, is 135 meters high. The "Nanchang Star" Ferris wheel under construction is located in Hongjiaozhou Ganjiang Citizen Park, Honggutan New District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province. It is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world and a landmark building in Nanchang.

The total height of the Ferris wheel is 160m, and the diameter of the turntable is 153m, which is higher than the 135m "London Eye" Ferris wheel located on the Thames in England. It is the second tallest Ferris wheel in the world at present (Singapore Ferris Sightseeing Wheel was opened in April of 15m). It has 60 capsules, each of which can accommodate 6-8 tourists. Equipped with LCD TV and air conditioning, it can accommodate nearly a thousand people to watch Nanchang in the air every hour.

The world's largest clock will also be installed on the Nanchang Ferris wheel, and 60 space capsules will represent a 60-minute time scale. Ferris wheel will adopt dual power supply and dual power supply system to ensure the safety of tourists. At the same time, there are fire extinguishers, walkie-talkies and life-saving rope barrels in the space capsule, so that in case of failure, tourists can descend along the rope to avoid danger. The ferris wheel runs at a constant speed, but if a passenger suddenly falls ill in the space capsule, such as heart disease, he can contact the ground operation controller through the intercom to adjust the transportation speed so that the patient can reach the ground quickly.

The colorful lights on the wheel surface of Nanchang Star Ferris wheel are composed of six or seven thousand LED semiconductor lighting devices. When all the lights are turned on, a giant color clock with a diameter of153m can be displayed, and different patterns can be set as required. At present, 15 programs are preset in the colorful light system. In addition, citizens can also send short messages to the control system, and the colored lights of the Ferris wheel can display the content of short messages, as long as the number of words is within 12.
