Perhaps they've been doing their homework on this forum. Job well done boys.

I-Drive Live sounded like a concert venue. Glad they changed it.

Couple more shots. For some reason they took that other top piece back down today :look:

And from across the other side of I4 in Wal Mart parking lot.

Orlando Eye , or what we have been calling it sounds so much better. Thanks for all the I picture updates this is truly massive in scale bigger than I was imagining looking at site pictures.
P.S. I-Drive Live is something we already do: I drive (a)live

Crown of terminal side wheel support structure was back up last night. This morning it's back down. :shrug:

So, the Orlando Eye complex is going to have The Orlando Eye, SeaLife, Madam Tussaud's, The Titanic Experience, The Body Exhibition, and a yet to be announced attraction. This sounds like it will be a pretty busy place.

And Bob, I would imagine that they keep removing the tops to do some leveling/adjusting.

As I have seen it in person, it appears it's going to need some serious leveling. Maybe even a few small modifications. :look:

Having just learned that the actual height of the Orlando Eye is 434 feet, this makes it the second tallest structure in Orlando, beating the Hyatt Convention Hotel by 6 feet (for those of us counting). It ranks second only to the 441 ft tall SunTrust Center downtown. Considering that this is a wheel, meaning it'll be just as wide as it is high, I'm very curious to see how this massive structure fits into the existing skyline.

The profile will look impressive from the portion of I-4 that fronts I-Drive, but probably not as impressive from the north/south.

I've got some news regarding that rumored Wyndham Tower Teebs... Take a look at this

Thanks for the great pics, DH! :thumbs:

i wonder what's the deal with removing the "LIVE" from the name... Style or substance? :shrug:

Maybe cause it isn't live yet
