The president of the Steel Pier in Atlantic City fully expects the 220-foot observation wheel to be ready by Spring of 2016.

The wheel will be the Steel Pier's largest attraction, and one that will be open year-round - except during extreme weather.  In fact, it's expects to be functional 365 days a year.

The total project will cost $14 million, with funding help from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority.  The wheel is part of a plan that will renovate the Steel Pier into an attraction that will draw customers year round.

Great idea!
