Millennium Wheel London Eye Nov 1999
Workmen check the first capsule to be put on the London Eye one of the worlds largest big wheels, which is under the final stages of construction as it stands beside the River Thames in London. Eventually there will be 32 French manufactured pods, which each weighs nine tonnes, can hold 25 people, and is fully air conditioned to ensure passengers can enjoy one of the best the view of London from the London Eye whatever the weather. Despite hitches when the first attempt to lift the wheel was delayed when a cable snapped and when protesters scaled the structure and spent the night on it, engineers still expect the wheel to be ready for the public by the New Year deadline

Capturing the Final Stages - Workmen Ensure a Smooth Ride on London's Iconic Millennium Wheel
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from November 1999, we witness the meticulous work of dedicated engineers as they inspect the first capsule to be placed on the magnificent London Eye. Standing proudly beside the majestic River Thames, this colossal Ferris wheel is nearing completion and promises to become one of the world's largest attractions. Crafted in France, each of its 32 pods weighs an astounding nine tonnes and boasts state-of-the-art air conditioning, ensuring that all 25 passengers can relish breathtaking views of London regardless of weather conditions. As construction nears its end, these diligent workers leave no stone unturned in their quest for perfection. Despite facing challenges along the way - such as a delayed attempt due to a snapped cable and daring protesters who scaled its structure - these resilient engineers remain undeterred. With unwavering determination, they strive to meet their New Year deadline and present this marvel to eager visitors. This remarkable snapshot from Arnold Slater takes us back to an era when dreams were being realized before our very eyes. It serves as a testament not only to human ingenuity but also to collective efforts that defy obstacles encountered during monumental projects like this one. Let us cherish this memory from the late '90s when London's skyline was forever transformed by an engineering feat that continues to captivate millions today.
