The big wheel is one of the attractions situated near South Bay Beach. It can be spotted from various points in the landscape. The views are okay from the wheel though the plastic doors obscures your view a bit.
5 pounds each , three laps , contactless payment available, Amazing view
Went on there 22 July 2025 We went to go on the ride after purchasing a ticket the 2nd staff member was extremely rude he put his hands on my niece to stop her getting on the ride!!!! Which he had no right in doing so. If he got off his phone and payed more attention to the ride and the passengers considering we are paying his wages by coming visiting. Absolutely livid will never visit again
The wheel cost ÂŁ11 for me and my daughter, and it went round 3 times. It banged 3 times as went round and was making a grinding noise (grrap grrap grraap,,, or a fggrraaarrp fggrraarrp frggrraarrp). Staff didn't speak two words just took the money. Well overpriced for something that's going to collapse any minute!
Great to see, views at the top are beautiful on a nice day. Wasn’t much of a queue to get on, quite quiet so could go straight on. Wasn’t that expensive to have a go either. Worth visiting if you’re in the area.
