Eye on Malaysia

Eye on Malaysia

The Eye on Malaysia is 60 metre tall portable Ferris wheel installation at Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is built based on the London Eye in London, United Kingdom

The wheel comprises 42 gondolas (including 1 VIP one) and was unveiled in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007 on January 6 2007 by Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

The wheel allows visitors to experience a 360-degree panoramic view of Kuala Lumpur and over 20 kilometres of its surroundings including KL Tower, Istana Budaya and Petronas Twin Towers, during a 12-minute ride.

It will be relocated to Malacca in November 2008. [cite news|url=http://malaysia.news.yahoo.com/bnm/20080319/tts-mohd-ali-wheel-993ba14.html |title="EYE ON MALAYSIA" WILL BE RELOCATED TO MELAKA |accessdate=2008-03-26]
