“Great experience in Orlando. We were in orlando for a week and we wanted to try the eye. You can argue that the price is a bit steep but I would imagine it's not cheap to run that thing. The car was spacious and comfortable and the views were amazing. A ride on the eye is highly recommended.”

“Even after spending a considerable amount if time in multiple theme parks, there's nothing like riding a huge spinning wheel hundreds of feet into the skyline to put things into prospective. 10 out of 10.”
