It's finally back! Birmingham's answer to the London Eye is finally in place in Centenary Square and will be open to the public on the 21st October 2004 until Sunday 27th February 2005.  | | The Birmingham Wheel |
Centenary Square will play host to a high-tech 60-metre observation wheel, but as this time it is a new wheel it boasts larger glass gondolas which are fully heated and air conditioned and with a capacity to seat up to eight people. Now Brummies can get a stunning bird's eye view of the city of Birmingham and beyond. Jonathan Shipley, a director of World Tourist Attractions, says: "We are delighted to be returning to Birmingham having enjoyed such a successful stay in Centenary Square earlier this year.
"Our new gondolas will provide commentary on the sites of Birmingham as well as other interesting facts about the city." If you're not too keen on heights, fear not. You can see last years amazing pictures of the wheel and the views across the city from the highest point without taking your feet off the ground.
