I dismissed my anxiety about heights to take a ride on the world's second largest Ferris Wheel, the (443 ft--wimpy to some of you) London Eye in the UK. I boarded one of the 32 passenger capsules. Up to 25 people are free to walk around or be seated on the 30 minute ride. The rotating London Eye does not stop moving; you have to walk on and off a moving capsule to ride. The nighttime panoramic view was marvelous, and a tad scary. It felt like a hovering helicopter ride...like my helicopter through the Grand Canyon.
