A Birmingham Wheel több óriáskerék neve, melyeket a birminghami Centenary Square-en állítottak fel.

Története

Az óriáskerék Párizsból érkezett Birminghambe.[1] A szétszerelhető és áthelyezhető Roue de Paris 2000-2002-ben állt Párizsban a Concorde téren, majd 2003-ban szállították új helyére. A látványosság 2003. november 6-án kezdett működni és teljesen zárt, fűtött gondoláit következő év januárjáig próbálhatták ki utasai.[2] A kerék következő állomása Manchester volt,[3] ekkor működtetője, a World Tourist Attractions nevű társaság épített ugyanazon a helyen egy új birminghami kereket.

A második kerék 2004. október 21-én nyílt meg a Centenary Square-en. Az újabb design már nagyobb és teljesen átlátszó, légkondicionált gondolákkal forgott, melyekbe egyenként nyolc utas fért be.[4] 2006. szeptember 5-én az óriáskereket bezárták, mert egy ausztrál társaság vette meg, így szétszerelése után el is szállították Ausztráliába.[5]

A harmadik Birmingham Wheel már VIP gondolát is tartalmaz, melyben DVD és pezsgő is elérhető az utasok számára. A 13 perces menetidő alatt a kerékről látható környék kommentárja is hallgatható.[6]
