Ferris Wheel

[webby23]

Quick question....

Anyone know how much the Ferris wheel costs to have a go on?

Is it mega busy all the time or is there a best time to go?

Cheers

I think it was about 5-10 euros last time I went on it. Usually move along the queue pretty quickly.

Went on during early afternoon, didn't wait long.

last time I went on it it was 5 euro's best time to go on it is as the light fades on saturday but the queues will be longer but it is worth it

It can be blooming cold up top in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Sure that it was 5 euros last year and freezing early Sunday morning as mentioned above - operator shouted at me for not taking my cap off

Thanks guys, I was hoping it was reasonably priced, as it appears that's the case.

Will be taking my lad on it for sure!!

Can't wait to go, leaving Nottingham Thursday AM

Well worth it for the view, and you might see cars spinning below you (see pics below). These were taken at about 2:30am Sunday, queue was about 5 mins, defintely €5 per person.

Was down at the fence when that happened in front of us. The Audi driver was crapping himself - you could see he was v worried about the b*llocking he was going to get in the pits if he didn't get out! Have some video of it still on my phone.

It was a good spin, think he got pushed out eventually and went straight for the pits didn't he?

I had the same thought, the Audi would have hit a gigantic skirting board if I'd been driving!

Yes pulled out by one of the fork lift truck type jobbies, very lucky to be opposite the pits entrance, he dropped shed loads of kitty litter on the way!

Here's the view from the fence of him being pulled out:

I completely forgot about this, and thought it must have been a lot more expensive! Excellent, will definitely be making a point of going up there. Dawn would be wonderful, but then so would the middle of the night

Top photos there, too, nice one capturing that!

Ah yes that's right, I also have a picture of the corvette doing a u-turn and looking like he nearly has a head on with another approaching car!

It was the first year I'd made the effort to go on it but really glad I did, will definitely go on it again! Dawn or dusk would be very cool!
