We had one built here, not quite as big I think, but it has been shut down due to bing unsafe. I hope they open it again as I know Princess would really love to ride it.

Happy WW, thanks for stopping by!

I’d probably get sick on that thing. Not a fan of heights. I’ll just wait below while you ride. Just saying.

Have a terrific day. :)

We just gawked at it when we were there and decided to skip it because we had other appointments. Maybe next time I’ll make time to get on it. :)

I recently managed to blag a free trip on the London Eye courtesy of Open House London Weekend and you really do get an amazing view of the city up there. I just need to figure out how to get a free night time ride on it…

We passed on the London Eye, too, the only time we visited London. But I loved looking at it, like a bit of modern art among the old buildings.

That’s quite a contraption, like a giant bicycle wheel. I see the passenger cars are enclosed; must rain a lot, eh? It does seem a bit out of place, though, right next to those old London buildings.

The London Eye is so visually striking in photographs, but I can’t help but think I would be bored to tears if I ever took a ride on it.
I would be counting up on my way to the top and down to the bottom, yawn.

@ Tony
I take it you don’t like views lol, it does go very slow so you would probably have a jaw ache through yawning when you get off LOL
