Big Six Wheel
A giant ferris wheel will be the star turn on Great Yarmouth's seafront this summer.
The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually. It has made many appearances in popular culture. The Big Six Wheel is a game of chance mainly played in casinos. It consists of a large spinning wheel split into a number of segments with a pointer which indicates the winning segment. The game works with the players placing their bets on which segment they believe the wheel will stop on, the dealer then spins the wheel with the winners being. Wheels are a big part of what Coker Tire provides for the collector vehicle world, and it's very important to know your wheel bolt pattern if you plan to purchase new wheels. If you're unsure about your bolt pattern and you're on the hunt for a new set of wheels, grab a tape measure and measure it.
In a bid to boost the post-Covid summer season the 50m Cityliner observation wheel is being billed as the perfect seafront centrepiece
Great Yarmouth Borough Council said it had secured the landmark attraction at no cost 'in order to provide an additional Covid-safe draw, as part of supporting the important visitor economy when restrictions are lifted to allow tourism again'.
The wheel features 36 capsules, each with a capacity of up to six people.
It will be put up next to the Sealife Centre this summer, subject to planning consent and coronavirus restrictions in place at the time.
The council has said that fun-seekers will have their temperatures taken before boarding and be required to wear a face covering at all times.
There will also be a scrupulous cleaning regime in place.

Carl Smith, the council leader, said: “This temporary landmark attraction will enhance the seafront’s overall offer in the 2021 season, boost footfall, and add to the profile and vitality of our resort during a challenging period for our visitor economy.
“It will also be Covid-safe fun for visitors and residents alike, offering fabulous views across our coastline and historic skyline, out to the Broads.
'Slightly taller than the Revolving Tower which famously stood on the seafront until the war, the wheel will be visible from the Acle Straight and will form a spectacular backdrop particularly when illuminated in the evenings.”
Jake de Koning of The Giant Wheel Company, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be presenting our flagship state-of-the art Cityliner Observation Wheel at the iconic Great British seaside resort of Great Yarmouth for 2021.
“This is a landmark attraction that will offer views of Great Yarmouth and Norfolk for over 10 miles distance and we believe it will be a great attraction to what this beautiful seaside resort already has to offer.”
