Wheel Specification: 60 metres in height. 42 capsules ,each can carry upto 8 people. Ride time 13 minutes (but yet again I was on longer than that, probably because it was a quiet day)

This wheel makes its second visit to Manchester. It had been previously in Seville, Spain. It took 3 weeks to dismantle, transport and re-erect in Manchester.

The wheel is sponsored by the MEN, Manchester Evening News and Channel M radio.
