Stunt man Nik Wallenda has announced plans to walk along the "Orlando Eye." The "eye" is a 400-foot tall spinning observation wheel. The 36-year-old Wallenda admits this is one stunt he's going into somewhat blind. "This is something that I can't really train for. Normally for my events I train with wind machines and I train with weather in the area and I train on a wire that's rigged the same and tensioned the same." Wallenda broke two world records in November when he walked a high-wire between two skyscrapers in Chicgao without a net or harness. The second walk he did blindfolded. His great-grandfather, Karl Wallenda, fell to his death at age of 73 while peforming a high-wire stunt in 1978.
