The Melbourne Star Observation Wheel [link] was built by Sanoyas Rides Corperation and designed by a consortium of structural engineering firms, led by ARUP [link] and located in the docklands precinct of Melbourne. The Melbourne Star has a long and interesting history, even before it opened for business (2009), then closed for business (2009), then opened again (2013), then temporary halted operation (2013) then unhalted operation 15 minutes later (2013), then closed again (2014) and now reopened (2014). It looked for a while there, like it was heading in the same direction as the Springfield monorail, only a larger than life donut didn't save it.
Irrespective of all this, it sure does look pretty lit up at night.
