    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.
