Brighton Wheel
Opened
in late 2011, the Brighton Wheel is a
white observation-style ferriswheel with enclosed "pods"
vaguely similar to (but not really in the
same league as) the "London Eye".
It's positioned just to the East of the Palace Pier, by the Volks Electric Railway's "Aquarium" station.
It
provoked strong opposition from some local residents at the time, but
... it's a ferriswheel. Brighton didn't have a ferriswheel, and now it
does (the Pier itself doesn't have a wheel, it has a pod at
the
end of a long "pendulum" arm that gets swung around in a circle ...
it's that large structure at the end of the pier that looks like a
crane).
