Built for the YES '89 Yokohama Exposition at Minato Mirai 21 (a large urban development in Yokohama, Japan) in 1989, Cosmo Clock 21 was originally constructed with a height of 107.5 metres (353 ft).In 1997 the structure was dismantled, then in 1999 relocated onto a taller base which increased its overall height to 112.5 metres (369 ft). When it first opened in 1989, it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel, until the completion of the 112.5-metre (369 ft) Tempozan Ferris Wheel in Osaka in 1997. Cosmo Clock 21 has 60 passenger cars, each capable of carrying up to eight people. One rotation of the 100-metre (330 ft) diameter wheel takes 15 minutes.
