Wow! Whoa! Wow! Whoa! Buuutttt, can it survive a hurricane? What about sea level rise? Storm surge? High winds? Lightning strikes? Those look like some flimsy trusses to me… 

strle:

Wowowowowowowow GET EXCITED PEOPLE!!!The already magical Staten Island Ferry is gonna be approximately 10 1000 times more rad in early 2016. 

Mayor Mike Bloomberg revealed some major plans for the north shore of Staten Island, including THE WORLD’S TALLEST FERRIS WHEEL and a giant designer outlet mall. 

The New York Wheel will be 625 feet tall (the London Eye is only 443 feet tall)  and the Designer outlet shopping center will have 100 stores. THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT!!!

    ew The shopping center sounds gross. It’ll just turn into another super annoying tourist spot.
