The team behind Miami’s upcoming US$430m (€407m, £354m) SkyRise entertainment complex has released new plans for the building’s main attraction – rotating observation pods at the tower’s 1,000ft (304m) peak.

Dubbed “Skyway”, cabins will be similar to Merlin’s ‘Eye’ giant wheel attractions, with the 20 pods revolving around a track starting at the 18th floor and ascending to the top of the tower’s north face.

According to the planning application, it is envisaged the Skyway will never stop moving, with the attraction making two revolutions each hour, and having a maximum capacity of 600 people during that hour.

All other elements of the tower, being developed by Berkowitz Development Group, were approved in December, with a separate application made for Skyrise on 28 February. Other attractions will include the Sky Plunge bungee jumping experience, SkyDrop freefall drop tower, a ‘flying’ theatre simulator and a number of observation decks overlooking Miami.

The tower will also feature a fine dining restaurant, 500-seat ballroom, meeting rooms and several nightclubs and lounges.

Arquitectonica designed the tower, while Miami-based Coastal Construction and Tishman is working on construction and engineering. With the proposal finally approved in December after being originally tabled four years prior, the development is expected to be complete by around 2020.
