Realistically I don't think anything else of significance would get built on that lot either. I'd rather see something unique like this than a 4 story low-tier hotel like across the street.

I would rather have the 4 story hotel if it's good infill. " First, do no harm!"
Please someone tell me The Link, and this Ferris Wheel are an elaborate April Fools joke.
The ferris wheel is an affront to the Alamo, and any serious proposal UTSA is planning. It would feel more appropriate on the Hemisphere site. Moreover, it is even more kitsch than whatever they are doing across from the Alamo and "The Link" (an otherwise okay, if not neccesary, idea wrapped in a disneyesque design proposal.) It will not age well. Is that a metal wave on the N. Flores Street bridge? There are some great moments in the proposal but that bridge is just bad and makes me question everything else.

My apologies to Disney.....they are actually good at kitsch. I hope The Link will not suffer the same fate as the Piazza d'Italia in (New Orleans).
