The Star of Nanchang opened for business in May 2006, having cost 57 million yuan (roughly $7.3 million) to build.[1] Formerly the world's tallest Ferris wheel, it was succeeded by the {{convert|165|m|ft|0|adj=on}} Singapore Flyer which officially opened to the public on March 1, 2008.[2] The Star of Nanchang has 60 enclosed air-conditioned gondolas, each carrying up to 8 passengers, for a maximum capacity of 480 passengers. A single rotation takes approximately 30 minutes; the slow rotation speed allows passengers to embark and disembark without the wheel having to stop turning. {{Clear}}References1. ^[https://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSPEK28078820070112 Shanghai scraps world's tallest Ferris wheel plan] 2. ^{{cite news | title = Singapore Flyer opens to the public from Saturday | publisher = Channel NewsAsia | date = 1 March 2008 | url = http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/332172/1/.html}} External links{{Commons|Nanchang}}
