The London Eye is categorically classed as a cantilevered observation wheel, it is even referred to as this on their website www.londoneye.co.uk.
Why is it listed here as a giant ferris wheel? Does anyone else agree that it should be referred to in it's correct term as a cantilevered observation wheel? GPLE ( talk) 15:21, 17 December 2018 (UTC)

This in a huge problem in the article. The text reads, "It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel....When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel." This makes it sound as though it was a Ferris wheel when it opened, but at some point was structurally reconfigured into an observation wheel. Please clarify the article to indicate all that changed was terminology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BC65:42B9:D4EB:FA95:7B3C:B79 ( talk) 07:37, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

The Millennium Wheel and the Millennium Dome grew from a conversation between Tony Blair and Bob Ayling (CEO of BA) on the need for iconic tourist attractions to mark the 21st century. They agreed initially that British Airways would own, build and operate both facilities. Due to the uncertain costs, it was later agreed to bring in Tussauds as the operator of the Eye and the Millennium Commission to build the Dome with National Lottery money, with BA limited to being the initial owner and sponsor of the Wheel.
