    Wallenda said Monday at a New York City news conference that the Orlando Eye will be moving when he attempts his feat April 29.

    The attraction in the heart of Orlando’s tourist district officially opens in May.

    In November, Wallenda made two hair-raising Chicago skyscraper crossings on high wires without a safety net or a harness.

    Two of his previous tightrope walks took him over the brink of Niagara Falls in 2012 and across a Grand Canyon-area gorge in 2013.

    Wallenda is the great-grandson of Karl Wallenda, who fell to his death during a tightrope stunt in Puerto Rico at 73.

    Maybe he should jump out of a plane and see if he lands on his feet. People do such stupid things and try to explain them as being normal.
