It will be the first ever of its kind, operating as a spokeless Ferris wheel with two intersecting rings.
Each ring carries pods that seamlessly revolve around inside and outside tracks.
The Seoul Twin Eye will accommodate 64 capsules, each carrying 20-25 people at once.
In total, it can provide rides to more than 1400 people simultaneously, almost doubling the capacity of the London Eye.
With a diameter of 180m, the wheel will be built upon a 40m high new cultural complex that is expected to house an exhibition space, a performance hall, retail and food & beverage outlets.
The Seoul Twin Eye will stand atop this podium, reaching a height of 220m and becoming the world’s tallest spokeless Ferris wheel.
As such, it will ensure the most expansive panoramic views possible of Seoul.
The proposal also included plans to build a monorail connecting the subway station to the Ferris wheel, as well as a zip line to add an extra experience for visitors.
