sorry about the quality bad weather day *sighs* nov 04
======================================================
A RIVAL 55m high wheel could be towering above Liverpool One by November.
Second big wheel could come to Liverpool One
The Nottingham-based Mellor Group has applied to raise its own observation wheel in Chavasse Park, which would be taken down at the end of January.

Gerald Andrews, director of finance at ACC Liverpool, said: “The big wheel at Liverpool One would be a fantastic attraction for the city during the festive season and a great precursor to the arrival of our own observation wheel on the waterfront in mid-February

Exactly the sort of thing New Brighton needs!

been watching it from work

another giant waste of cash.

i went past it tonight, all the carriages are in the car park next to the arena ,

it is a waste of cash but it does look good in a 5 year old kind of way.

Just a friction drive, not a big drive belt?

How much to have a go? Cheaper than the anglican cathedral tower access? Doubt it!

It's 6 quid for adults I think.

Obviously all the other priority things have been achieved. They might as well have left the one in New Brighton. Surely when you grow up you get a bit beyond going on the big wheel? 6 quid for big kids more like.

I'm going on it tomorrow

dont forget the ?

LIVERPOOL’S big wheel has closed.

The huge ferris wheel, which was such a hit over the Christmas holidays, turned for the last time last night.

During its stay in Liverpool One, the wheel was the scene for at least one marriage proposal. It will soon be replaced by a 60 metre high wheel outside the ECHO Arena

Another wheel?
