Orlando Eye
Hi. I just reverted your recent edits which changed "The Orlando Eye is a giant Ferris wheel" to "The Orlando Eye is a giant observation wheel". Please note that similar reverts have also been made on at least five previous occasions - . Please see the first paragraph of Orlando Eye, which already deals with the operator's claim that the Orlando Eye is an observation wheel. Please see also these discussions:
 * Ferris wheel
 * Talk:Observation wheel
 * Talk:Ferris wheel/Archive 1
 * Talk:Ferris wheel
 * Talk:London Eye

Please also note:
 * Wheels which are marketed as, or claim to be, observation wheels are all primarily described as Ferris wheels in their respective articles - see High Roller (Ferris wheel), Singapore Flyer, London Eye, Melbourne Star, and New York Wheel. The 'observation wheel' claim is most commonly made for wheels with externally mounted passenger capsules - see the same five articles - as opposed to suspended capsules; the Orlando Eye has suspended capsules.
 * There is no 'Observation wheel' article; Observation wheel has been a redirect to Ferris wheel since June 2008.
 * There is no generally accepted definition for observation wheels (to be an observation wheel, it has been claimed that the wheel must have externally mounted passenger capsules; or have stabilised capsules; or have enclosed capsules; or that the structure be of the cantilever type; or simply that it not be located in an amusement park) and hence there is no Category:Observation wheels.

If you disagree, please feel free to discuss at Talk:Orlando Eye - but do not change the lead description back to 'observation wheel' without first establishing a clear consensus. Thank you. 223.205.245.162 (talk) 14:34, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
