A Ferris wheel is to open at Gloucester Docks on Friday.

The 100ft (30m) structure, run by British Waterways, is due to start turning from midday.

The new attraction is part of a revamp of the docks, which includes shops, flats, a hotel, supermarket and factory outlets.

A spokeswoman said: “We were very keen to provide an additional attraction for the docks because there will be lots of new visitors.” BBC.

I’ve no idea how long the wheel is to remain in place and I’m not exactly sure of its attraction, then again I’m not much of a fan of amusement rides, and it’s not as if Gloucester Docks can boast quite anything like the views one gets from the London Eye.
