I Am Sure We Are All Familiar With A Ferris Wheel,

Diana and myself have ridden on two of them, 

the London Eye and the Singapore Flyer, but I had never thought about one being made without spokes till now,

but that is what is happening in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, China, the wheel is named "shi lai yun zhuan," which means 'turn of fortune', its height will measure 89 meters and the total weight will be 3,000 tons, the wheel costs a total of $24 million and is expected to go into operation in June this year, this will be the world's largest spokeless Ferris wheel, what will they think of next?
