Anyone who has visited London can’t have failed to have noticed the Millennium Wheel on the skyline. The gigantic wheel was built next to the River Thames in celebration of the new millennium - and riding in one of its huge capsules provides you with a fantastic view of London and its famous landmarks.

The Great Wheel Corporation - an international company with headquarters in Singapore - has built similar Great Wheels across the globe - and on June 25 will be announcing plans for such a wheel to be built in Orlando.

Exact specifications are yet to be released - but the Wheel is likely to be over 200 metres tall with each capsule carrying around 40 passengers.

If you enjoy spotting Disney landmarks from the top of Expedition Everest or Summit Plummet then this may be just the attraction for you!

More information will be made available on June 25 at greatwheel.com/orlando.
