Well, that seals the deal for me. I won't be riding that thing.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but my reading is that Tiki is right. Yes, the pods actually turn separately; they are required to so, in a direction opposite that of the main wheel itself, in order to maintain a horizontal platform on which to stand. If the artists renderings (e.g., http://www.vegastripping.com/images/news/linq_pod.jpg ) are anywhere close to the final design, that seems to seal it: there's a circular band around the cabin to accomplish this rotation, but no obvious area to allow for rotation that would provide a 360 degree view without moving one's body.

Larry, perhaps you and Tiki are correct. The drawing seems to indicate what you say. However, I based what I said on the fourth paragraph in this article I recently read. http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2011/ ... +Look+Like
