Miami company, Caribe-Miami Corp., headed by Rigoberto Valdes, are trying to build a large 650 foot ferris wheel in Downtown Miami, according to the Miami Herald

The proposed ferris wheel - called "Eye on the Bay" - would be located next to the American Airlines Arena and next to Museum Park over the FEC boat slip.
