    So what you're really saying is.............. Vegas has the World's Largest Observation Wheel again....... gotcha. 😉😉

      Well no. Because the Ain does exist. Maybe Vegas has the largest currently operational wheel, but thats all

      @davidwebb4904 what do you mean “that’s all”?? Isn’t the point for it to be operational?? Who wants to have the largest non-operational wheel??? 😭🤣😭

    This looks like a knock-off The B1M channel. Using the same thumbnail style and covering the same topics, soon after B1M makes a video about it! Reported.

      @@windhouse No it's not. There have already been many lazy, cash-grab UA-cam channels caught copying formats, thumbnails, and topics from more popular channels. Just to make money from ads. This is yet another one of those.

    The “composite material” is probably the problem

      I also think so. I think the desert heat expanded something unevenly, causing a catastrophic dimension change, probably in the undersized bearings .they probably rejected roller bearings of a size that could manage the weight as impractical , and gambled the entire project on a new approach. I guess when you have to hire out for non native talent to do everything for you , there is a learning curve.
      once you get into heavy things, friction goes wild. I've seen steel cables on cranes go instantly cherry red , without movement, just from being bent on a ledge, when holding heavy weight.

      The problem is that mammoet cranes take up a lot of space to work on it.

    If you look at it closely, Dubai really has not completely finished very many of it's colossal undertaking's. Most of their adventures have been either closed down or severally scaled back. This wheel of death is just another example of looks good on paper, in reality, we might have bitten off more than we can accomplish. How about we start getting back to the more realistic goals that benefit the greater good for all.

      these are royals, they only care about their monuments to their power, not the peasant non royals. Witness the palace, with a matching " tourist hotel" on one side of the royal palace , so it wouldn't look entirely self serving to the masses.

    My guess is it will be taken down. It's got a fundamental design flaw so great that it cannot be serviced and they're probably figuring out the cheapest way to remove it.

      Even if they got it to run there weren't many people riding it. I only count 10-13 riders per pod in every vids I see. This is far short of 40 per pod.

      You got your money's worth considering it cost $1.6 billion. Exactly how many people were in the pod? Ever vids I see only has 8-12 riders. Far from 40 that it can hold.

      Every cable is made from hundreds of smaller wires wound together, even then 2400KM is a big stretch, there is nothing Dubai will not exaggerate about.
