    Feck.

    I wouldn't bother if I were you. Was there earlier this evening with kids. Paid €3 each only got around once, by that I mean it went around one cycle while stopping constantly to let people on and off.
    Not my idea of a Ferris wheel ride at all especially considering the one in Funderland which if I recall went around 3 times.

    ah feck, that's a balls. Can't say I'm surprised though. The magic of Christmas eh, squeezing as much money as they can out of the average punter (usually parents wishing to share a special moment with their kids, fond memories and all that).
    I know they are there as a business but only giving people one revolution is taking the piss.
    In saying that I know the kids would love to go on it, it's just that feeling every parent gets when they know they are being shafted :(

    I was at this the other night. I didn't go on (wimp :P) but my friends went around three times before they had to get off. Maybe when it's busy they reduce it to one revolution? Bit mean if it's normally only one! There was no queue at all when we were there.

    Only went around once for me, stopping every 2 seconds to let people on/off. What a load of ****ing ****e.

    I'd be curious to know what day and time were people getting the best and worst value.

    Seen it for the first time tonight and I'd like to try it out

    Is it open for customers during the week until 8 does anyone know, or is it weekends only?

    i got on it around 7.30pm on tuesday!

    went around twice for me. I'm assuming on weekends you'll get one go around because it's so busy and the time spent on it would be equal the time spent going around twice on quiet days.

    took the kids on it today at 12 noon, we got 5 rounds on it, kids loved it. Some views from the top alright.
    The spinning carriage wasn't doing anything for my hangover from the 12 pubs the night before:o
