When this big wheel first appeared during the World Cup I always admired it from afar but was never really tempted to take a ride, putting it down to a tourist attraction etc. Until it was taken down! I suffered non-riders remorse and dismal regret (think of the majestic scenic views I missed, the photo opportunity, never-attained memories, oh why!!!) Until the day they re opened. I was happy. I safely slipped back into passivity knowing it wasn’t going anywhere after all : )
Until the Groupon deal. Life changing stuff those guys.

Be sure to buy your photo at the end of the ride from The Happy Snappy Photo Co, owned by my ex-colleague Barry Cooper.
