Melbourne Star Observation Wheel
Australia
Loathed by Melburnians for its exorbitant cost and constant delays, this observation wheel opened late to much fanfare in 2008, to only be closed 40 days later due to engineering faults and cracks. After complete reconstruction, the wheel is now safe and operational, and offers views over the city,
suburbs, the bay and to hilly and mountainous districts in the distance, taking 30 minutes for a full ride/rotation. An "encore ticket" can also be purchased which gives the rider two trips; one at day and one at night.
