And the other is horizontally which you demonstrated above. In construction terms it depends on the size of the project. A larger wheel might take quite a while to assemble vertically and would probably be constructed horizontally and erected while smaller wheels are built vertically since they are smaller, and it won't take long to life the pieces up, and to join them together.
For example watch this video of the construction of the Singapore Flyer.

Whoah that was crazy, thanks for the vid (and info). Now I hope they build vertically. That will be way more interesting to watch!
