The Big Wheel at Dublin’s Point Village is to be renamed the Revolver, and to mark the change visitors will see reduced admission prices for a limited period.
The 60-metre high observation wheel was unveiled by developer Harry Crosbie in July.
The tourist attraction, which is next to the O2 in Dublin’s Docklands, offers 360 degree views of the capital and its coastline from the top.
The 350 ton wheel, which has 42 enclosed capsules and is wheelchair accessible, usually costs €9 for the 13 minute trip. However, a reduced price of €5 will be offered for visitors on Thursday, Fridays and Saturday mornings from 10am to 1pm for one month from this Thursday.
The Revolver is operated by World Tourist Attractions, which owns several observation wheels in Australia and Europe.
