The Eye on Malaysia to be relocated to Melaka... soon?

What is it? In case you have no idea how it looks like, just click on the images below to enlarge the beautiful wheel. The Eye on Malaysia is a 60 metres tall, the world largest portable ferris wheel first installed at Titiwangsa Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur. The wheel allows visitors to experience a 360-degree panoramic view of the city.
This astounding viewing wheel consists of 42 fully air-conditioned gondolas, including an exclusive VIP gondola that provides with plush leather seats fit for a king, a mini fridge, a DVD player, a plasma TV and a mobile telephone. There are also two specially designed gondolas, fitted with unique features making it friendly to the wheelchair-bound and handicapped visitors.
This giant wheel may be moved to Melaka soon and it could be permanent. If everything goes well, the ferris wheel will be dismantled, reassembled here in Melaka and relocated at the mouth of Melaka River in Taman Kota Laksamana. According to the chief minister, by then the existing Eye on Melaka(Malacca Eye) which is much smaller will still be in operation.
