Set to open in 2025, the enormous new Seoul Ring ferris wheel is set to make its mark on Seoul, in Haneul Park.

The unique spoke-less design means the wheel is a perfect ring, devoid of the supportive beams that we’re used to seeing. It will be the world’s largest Ferris wheel when completed, with impressive views of the Hangang River, downtown Seoul, Namsan Mountain, and Bukhansan Mountain.

Via Uncrate:

“Seoul Ring will break away from the traditional design of spoked Ferris wheels and use innovative technology to create an aesthetically advanced spokeless design. The city consulted with domestic and international experts in architecture and engineering to secure construction safety and structural integrity of the spokeless design of Seoul Ring.”
