THE world will truly be spinning beneath your feet on this new ride. The world's highest "Ferris wheel” has opened on top of the 450 metre Canton Tower in Guangzhou, China, promising a view, and ride, like no other.
Flying in the face of traditional vertical Ferris wheel rides, thrill-seekers can jump on board one of 16 transparent pods that circle around the edge of the tower’s roof at just a 15-degree incline.
The ride lasts between 20 and 40 minutes and can hold a total of 96 people. It will cost 130 Yuan ($19).
Built using a macromolecule material, it claims to offer 360-degree “clear” views - when weather permits.
