The New York Wheel was a proposed 630-foot (190 m) Ferris wheel to be located in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island, New York City, next to the Empire Outlets retail complex.
The project was announced in 2012 as part of an effort to make St. George a tourist attraction. It was canceled by investors in September 2018 after New York City mayor Bill de Blasio refused to endorse selling city bonds to finance what he called a risky speculative project that was supposed to be entirely privately funded.
Proposals to build a smaller New York Wheel were being discussed in May 2019, but these were officially cancelled in February 2023.[6]
