Ferris wheels seem to be experiencing a renaissance around the world. It seems like you can't really be a global city unless you have a ferris wheel in the CBD to show all the visitors how great you are.
Normally I walk past these things without a second glance. Having Manon and Gabby with me meant that we were going to try more things. They both wanted to go for a ride to see the city and I was more than willing to have a look.
The view wasn't that great. It just isn't high up enough and the location of the ferris wheel in Darling Harbour means that it's a bit too far away from the rest of the city. There are better places to go with better views of the city. Still it was fun to go up, though I'm not sure it would have been had Manon and Gabby not been there screaming as we made the turns.
