Riding the Ferris Wheel at Weston Super Mare

This wheel was constructed about 6 months ago and is planned as a temporary attraction while the new pier is being constructed after the old one burnt down.

Luckily there was no queue for the wheel today. It costs £5 per person (luckily you can pay by credit card) and the ride takes about 8 minutes (4 revolutions per ride).

It is owned and operated by World Tourist Attractions.

The capsules hold a maximum of 6 adults & 2 children and the rules stipulate that you must not swing the capsule whilst on the wheel, nor must any persons be under the infuence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Known as "The Wheel of Excellence"

It was very windy at the highest point of the ride and you can hear the wind whistle round the capsules.
