The Bailang River Bridge Ferris Wheel is a centreless non-rotating Ferris wheel built on the 1771feet Bailang River Bridge that crosses the Bailang river in Weifang, Shandong, China.
The structure has a height of 145m (476feet) and when completed in 2017 became the world's largest centreless Ferris wheel.[1]
Comprising 4,600 tons of steel and a kite grid construction system, described as a 'dragon spine', the body of the Ferris wheel remains stationary while each of the 36 carriages takes 30[2] minutes to fully traverse its circumference. Each carriage can carry 10 passengers and has Wi-Fi and television sets.[1] [3]
