 According to the Orlando Sentinel, The new name will be simply be "The Orlando Eye" according to Unicorp, the company developing the wheel and the project. Replacing the once thriving "Mercado" complex,  Unicorp's Present stated this change is due to the "iconic nature of the project" and seems of have nothing to due with the fact they project has been in trouble previously for trademark violation.
