Now under construction on International Drive "The Orlando Eye" a 425-FOOT-TALL observation wheel which is a sibling of the London Eye on the River Thames in London England. It is scheduled to open with its surrounding development "I-Drive Live"on New Year's Eve 2014 and will be nearly as tall as the 35-story SunTrust Building in downtown Orlando.
It will be so high that when the Eye is running, those riding will be able to see all of the city and as far as NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building on the east coast of Florida.
In addition to the observation wheel, the development will include a Madame Tussauds wax museum and a Sea Life aquarium, Titanic Exhibition, a Ben & Jerry's, Outback, Buffalo Wild Wings and a Yard House, as well as other restaurants and shops.
The developer, Unicorp, is also developing an I-Shops project on the previous location of the Wyndham Orlando Resort at the corner of International Drive and Sand Lake Road. The former hotel was demolished to make way for this development.
