PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Judge's comment: The judges were impressed by two aspects of this engineering feat. Firstly, the logical development of Giant Observation Wheels from a three chord rim in London to a two chord rim in Singapore and now, the ultimate, a single tube at Las Vegas. And secondly, the rigour and diligence of engineering the mechanical details and fatigue resistance throughout.
