I see from the March Newsletter that this is now on the Dreamland site.
Was any restoration carried out at Carters yard over the past few months or is it to be restored on the Dreamland site? Did I read a few months ago that it may open ahead of the main park as a "taster"of things to come?

The ride was inspected and surveyed at Carters but no work was carried out.
It is unlikely that the ride will operate this year now due to the delays with the land transfer.

I rode the wheel when Richard had it at Southport. Be nice to see it up and running again.

I never rode the wheel but I am in love with its unique design. Very different and some what contemporary. I hope it can get restored soon as I look forward to riding it when the park hopefully reopens.
