From what I understand, there are a number of variations to ferris wheel designs around the world. Among the most unique designs are a double ferris wheel and an eccentric ferris wheel like the Wonder Wheel at Coney Island. For example, an eccentric ferris wheel had a number of gondolas that are fixed like a traditional ferris wheel and a number that are swinging and giving the sensation of a ferris wheel. There have been numerous observation wheels such as the London Eye in London and High Roller in London with motorized capsules and are closer to a traditional ferris wheel design, though the design is much different than a traditional fairground ferris wheel with some major differences in appearance as well. However, the overall shape is similar to the fairground ferris wheels, though the capsules are much different from a traditional ferris wheel gondola. There are also observation wheels with climate controlled enclosed gondolas such as the Seattle Great Wheel and the Myrtle Beach Skywheel. There are also centerline ferris wheels and one has already been built in China as an observation wheel similar to the London Eye and another one is being planned for Seoul. Therefore, I am wondering if the design of a double ferris wheel or eccentric ferris wheel could be adapted into an observation wheel with gondolas like the Seattle Great Wheel or motorized capsules like the London Eye. https://modernmidways.com/rides/byid/2
