Orlando Eye - Grand Opening

I attended the I-Drive 360 Grand Opening event last night and had an opportunity to ride the new Orlando Eye observation ride.  It was a great party and the views from the Eye were amazing.  If you're afraid of heights, think twice or have an adult beverage in advance.  At the peak, you're 400+ ft in the air.  The eye will shut down if winds are over 35mph and when lightning activity is detected within 5 miles of the attraction.  The weather was great for the grand opening and the sights from the top were amazing.  It's the same basic construction as the London Eye.

If you go... I-Drive 360
