'Eye On Malaysia' Wheel In Pulau Melaka To Operate In April.
MELAKA, Nov 26 (Bernama) -- The 101-metre high "Eye on
Malaysia" Ferris wheel under construction in Pulau Melaka is expected to
start operating in April next year, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam
said today.
Construction of the 13th highest Ferris wheel in the world,
being built at a cost of RM40 million, had progressed to 15 per cent, involving
installation of piles, he said. "The installation of the wheel structure
will begin in February," he said during a visit to the project site.
Mohd Ali said the made-in-China Ferris wheel, with 54
gondolas, could assist in the development of Pulau Melaka, which also has a
wildlife theatre, as a major tourist attraction of the world. Besides the
Ferris wheel, local company The Eye Sdn Bhd was also developing a water and
light theme park as well as a 28-storey hotel, he said.
Mohd Ali invited more tourism industry players to invest in
the state, particularly in the development of large-scale theme parks.
