This will be great for Staten Island, and great for the skyline, but I'm not sure of it's ability to draw people. About 2 million tourists ride the ferry every year. Let's say 1 million of them ride the wheel? That's still more than three times less than the London Eye draws.
Does it need to draw a similar amount to be a success?
Has the London Eye drawn a profit?
...
As a Staten Islander, I hope this gets built regardless.
