Guess what's rolling into Orlando . . .

A GREAT BIG WHEEL, that's what.

If you've ever been to London, or have seen cityscapes of the British capital, you have an idea of the scale of this new tourist attraction to be built on the infamous International Drive in our little corner of heaven.

Orlando's "Big Wheel" will be capable of transporting nearly 1,000 riders at any given time, taking just 30 minutes to complete a circuit that culminates in a peak viewpoint that will allow ye socks to see more than 25 miles in any direction.

Pretty cool, huh?

Another cool thing is the projected cost of a ticket. (You knew a miser like me HAD to go there.) They're saying it will only be about $15.

Anyway, at least this landmark will be more aesthetically pleasing than that stupid glass pseudo-asparagus stalk outside City Hall . . .
