Well I delivered a lot of the parts. Driving through the tourists in an HGV wasn't much fun. I delivered the electric motors which make it work, one of them was faulty so I had to bring another a couple of days before it was due to be opened so it opened a few days late.

Hello. Thankyou for Message and How Building was made.. Interesting.

[@MarmosetMonkeys]

Such a well designed structure for the context - unlike the London Eye which is so contextually non-contiguous it stands out like a steel turd placed on the great pyramid.

It would stop moving

Too small, nothing to do, inadequate seating and facilities, non-UK materials and construction and too expensive for what is experienced.
The diverted Victorian sewer and ruined West Pier are, separately, better engineering and more aesthetic.

Yeah it’s a pretty boring design
