Does it need to draw a similar amount to be a success?
Has the London Eye drawn a profit?

As a Staten Islander, I hope this gets built regardless.

No it doesn't. As long as the price is good enough and it is attractive enough then it would make a profit. The London Eye and the Singapore Flyer is extremely successful. Even though the Wonder Wheel might not be an observation wheel it is extremely successful too.
