Rigoberto Valdes, has been seriously involved in developing a series of plans to design, build and finance a monumental theme-park attraction in South Florida hoping to receive approval to build it on the vacant lot behind the AmericanAirlines Arena.
The structure isn’t actually a Ferris wheel and it would rotate glass-skinned pods large enough to host a small party on a track around a 2,000-ton steel oval mounted atop four legs that dive directly into the water, according to which New York engineer Malcolm McLaren and would cost $350 million. It would include a restaurant and bar about 250 feet up in the air, plus a retail-lined walkway beneath the wheel connecting Museum Park and Parcel B behind the AmericanAirlines Arena. The walkway would be 40 or 50 feet above the slip, tall enough to allow a number of yachts to continue to dock along the seawall, McLaren said.
