Not against my opinion. I have always championed it, and think it will be absolutely brilliant when it is finished. I cycle past it every day, and it has been great to see it develop and progress.

I've been really looking forward to this, but the size of that pod is...disappointing.

Yeah, penetration would be tricky if the girth is not uniform :eek: I think the penetration aspect, and the uniquness of this, is going to be part of the attraction. And I still think it looks brilliant. So there.

If you say so. Is that a similar description to the CN Tower in Toronto, the Fernsehturn in Berlin or the Needle in Seattle? I repeat, it will look brilliant.

It will look very different. Large towers with no apparent use become iconic and this will be no exception. It will look great, and will become a focal point of our city. I am really looking forward to seeing it (and find it quite impressive already).

It's. Not. Finished.

Optical illusion. That crane is right next to the i360, used in the building of it.

I have been aware of him...every other thread seems to be started by him, and most are utterly unnecessary as far as I can see. Usually I ignore them. For some reason I felt obligated to respond on this occasion. Must try harder.

What are you talking about? Utterly bizarre contribution to the thread, with no discernible meaning or relevance.

Well, that and the fact that most tourist cities DON'T have a wheel.

Blimey, really? Bargain. I will visit it often. :)

See you there!

I am surprised that anyone would think it will look crap, personally. Obviously, it isn't finished, and like many constructions it doesn't look great whilst being built. I can see the Shoreham Power Station comparison right now, but when it's done it'll be more akin to a shorter CN Tower, or...

What, like the London Eye, Spinnaker Tower, Eiffel Tower, Fernsehturn, etc. I'll let you know what it's like.

Are you talking about the proposed wind farm 10 miles out to sea? Yeah, that'll look impressive too.

You will get a great view over Brighton and the Downs. Both beautiful, both full of sights worth seeing, and seeing them from a new angle will be lovely. It'll be brilliant. It will also look great from the beach, close up or from a distance, and from the sea. I don't understand the negativity.

The Wheel is 50m high. The i360 will be over three times as high.

The Spinnaker Tower is great, yes. But I think that the i360 is going to be just as iconic. It's so different to anything we have seen before, and will become a World famous landmark. It's location compared to the Spinnaker - much better in my opinion. Right on the beach, and in Brighton, not...

It's going to be magnificent. I am so looking forward to seeing it finished.
