Quick Facts General information, Status ...

It was to have been constructed near Orlando in Orange County, Florida, United States, at a site adjacent to the OrlandoOrange County Convention Center, near Interstate 4, SeaWorld, and International Drive. Plans included an integrated terminal building with commercial and retail facilities, and it was to have provided a 25-mile (40 km) view of Central Florida attractions including SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Walt Disney World, as well as firework displays and rocket launches from Kennedy Space Center.[citation needed]

In 2010 it was reported that the project had been "put on hold" due to the poor economic climate.[1]

Subsequently, Great Orlando Wheel Corp., created in 2007 and placed under the control of a receiver to liquidate its assets in 2013, sought to sell the 20-acre site on which they had planned to build the wheel for $12 million.[2]
