MYRTLE BEACH -- The Myrtle Beach city council gave approval for the SkyWheel Tuesday according to Jon Pedersen, the Myrtle Beach assistant city manager.
The 175-foot-tall ferris wheel would be the largest on the east of the Mississippi.
Plans include 42 glass-enclosed gondolas with both heating and air conditioning. Each one could hold 6 to 8 people.
There are still some other changes to be made before construction can begin.
