Tempozan Ferris Wheel

One of the worlds tallest ferris wheels. From 97 to 99 I believe.
Now the largest is the Singapore flyer ^_^
It is the 2nd tallest in Japan. The other is Daikanransha, a 115-metre (377 ft) tall Ferris wheel at Palette Town in Odaiba, Japan [wikipedia]






Little info from wikipedia on the Tempozan -
Tempozan Ferris Wheel is located in Osaka, Japan, at Tempozan Harbor Village, next to Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, one of the largest aquariums in the world. The wheel has a height of 112.5 meters and diameter of 100 meters.








Tempozan Ferris Wheel opened to the public on July 12, 1997. During the 17-minute ride (¥700), it offers a view of Osaka Bay and surrounding areas, such as Ikoma Mountains to the east, Akashi Kaikyō Bridge to the west, Kansai International Airport to the south, and Rokko Mountains to the north.
