Talk:London Eye

message: The London Eye is categorically classed as a cantilevered observation wheel, it is even referred to as this on their website www.londoneye.co.uk.
Why is it listed here as a giant ferris wheel? Does anyone else agree that it should be referred to in it's correct term as a cantilevered observation wheel? GPLE (talk) 15:21, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: To add to the conversation, Ferris wheel contains the language: 
* The 135 m (443 ft) London Eye, typically described as a "giant Ferris wheel" by the media,[134][135] has ovoidal externally mounted motorised capsules and is the "world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel"[136] according to its operators, who claim "The London Eye is often mistakenly called a Ferris wheel. This is not the case: first, the passenger capsules are completely enclosed and are climate controlled; secondly, the capsules are positioned on the outside of the wheel structure and are fully motorised; and third, the entire structure is supported by an A-frame on one side only."[136] However the Singapore Flyer subsequently billed itself as the "world's largest observation wheel", despite being supported on both sides,[137] and the official londoneye.com website also refers to the London Eye as "Europe's tallest Ferris wheel".[138]

replies: text: "Critical" does not imply a negative, just a disciplined process of appraisal (as opposed to thoughtless open-mouthed wonder. Or outright, prejudiced condemnation. Look it up, please). Haploidavey (talk) 12:22, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Critical Reception 

message: Litchfield & Partners helped British Airways and Tussauds Group obtain planning permission.
The Millennium Wheel and the Millennium Dome grew from a conversation between Tony Blair and Bob Ayling (CEO of BA) on the need for iconic tourist attractions to mark the 21st century.  They agreed initially that British Airways would own, build and operate both facilities.  Due to the uncertain costs, it was later agreed to bring in Tussauds as the operator of the Eye and the Millennium Commission to build the Dome with National Lottery money, with BA limited to being the initial owner and sponsor of the Wheel.
