The ArcelorMittal Orbit, designed by artist Anish Kapoor, is “set to become UK’s largest sculpture.” The Orbit is being built as an attraction site just in time for the 2012 Olympics at the Olympic Park site in London.
[The sculpture] will consist of a continuous looping lattice of tubular steel. Standing at a gigantic 115m, it will be 22m taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York and offer unparalleled views of the entire 250 acres of the Olympic Park and London’s skyline from a special viewing platform. Visitors will be able to take a trip up the statuesque structure in a huge lift and will have the option of walking down the spiralling staircase.
Don’t you think this would make for one hell of a rollercoaster? Addtional images in the gallery below.
