    Yeah, I think having the Wheel does help with the revenue for Weston, people seem to enjoy going on it, everytime I have passed there were queues and it was being used.  Weston needs to have money coming in to help with projects like the Tropicana, Pier etc and this is a way of doing so. 

    It is like when the pier was there, the slot machines etc on the pier was a crowd puller, Weston needs this I think to compete with other seaside towns'''

    No. It's an eyesore and was positioned at the motorcycle park! There was an alternative area for bikers to park but it was too small and too far away from the ameneties and for disabled bikers was not acceptable.

    I think the plan for next year is to site a new bigger wheel, 50m high further alogn the seafront. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

    It has to come back, as the tourists love it. Bigger and better, although we do need somewhere to park motorcycles as well.

    Yes indeed it should come back, word on the grapevine is that the next wheel is 20 mtrs higher, brilliant I say good luck to Weston with the changes that are being made. with the pier work now in full flow there will be a lot more visitors to Weston this winter just to see the progress of the pier and with the wheel as well its going to be a great place to visit. Even as the pier is out at the moment I and my family love to come to Weston. Ron in Evesham.
