EPIC FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAIL ahahahahahhaahahah -
an EPIC FAIL..!!! it was constructed, and operated for almost 2months... before it was faulty and started cracking and had to be pulled back down.... millions and millions of dollars for nothing...!!! and the melbourne government will tell you... they only wanted the giant wheel to compete with Sydney for Icons and tourist... when a ferris wheel is useless in any part of australia.... we have too harsh and damatic weather... besides how unoriginal... to copy London or China... EPIC FAIL!!!!

It was shut down indefinitely after structural defects, including buckling and cracks, were detected. The operators initially blamed the 2009 Southeastern Australia heat wave for causing the damage. It is not known when the wheel will reopen.
From wikipedia, it says that engineers working on the wheel discovered the cracks were not caused by the heatwave but rather a problem in the original design. Fourteen cracks have been found in the steel.
