The Ferris wheel, described as an "observatory structure" in an application to the Planning Au- thority, is set to include 36 cap- sules which will each hold six persons. The proponent is Liam Man- gion, the sole owner of Extreme Events, and a shareholder in an- other popular amusement ride, Slingshot Malta, the latter with Paceville entrepreneur Hugo Chetcuti. Mangion confirmed to Malta- Today that the Lands Authority has not objected to him present- ing this application on public land. Anyone applying on public land is obliged to present a form showing that the authority does not object "in principle" to the proposed development. While the base of the structure will be 30 metres long, the wheel will rise to a height of 45 metres, which is equivalent to the size of an 11-storey building. This would make the structure one of the highest in Valletta – 10 metres lower than the Barr- akka lift. Other structures which rise higher than the proposed wheel are the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church (73m) and the St Paul's Pro-Cathedral (63m). The Malta Eye would be con- siderably lower than the London Eye, which rises to 135m. Liam Mangion told this news- paper his motivation for the project was his "great love" for Could Floriana get its own 'Malta Eye'? Entrepreneur Liam Mangion has formally applied for a PA permit to install the 'Malta Eye' Ferris wheel on the site of the car park on the edge of the Floriana granaries
