And the majority of visitors and residents would like to see a city that's not overrun with homeless people and covered with graffiti, both problems which could have been addressed with a small percentage of the money wasted on the i360 eyesore.

I went up the i360 for the first time a few weeks back on a nice clear day. Much as I'd expected. OK, but not impressive enough to want to go again. Problem is there's just not enough to see. Brighton's skyline is just not interesting enough. As I predicted it's going to be a very big white...

Very eloquantly put. My thoughts entirely. It is totally out of place in that part of Brighton and if it had to be built, then it would have been perfect among the other ugliness of the Marina.

There were "exclusive" pictures from the top of the damned thing on the tin-pot southeast news on the BBC tonight. And very boring it looks too. The fact is there's nothing whatsoever worth looking at. Brighton and Hove do not have interesting skylines. The Channel is just more sea.

No, you're not SAVING money but going up the thing, you're SPENDING money. And it's not ingenuity, it's a fecking eyesore.

A membership scheme implies that they think there are local people who will want to go up more than once. That I find very very hard to believe. "Oh look mummy I can see the crumbly West Pier." "Yes darling, but we could see that from the promenade. "Oh look Daddy I can see the sea." "Yes...

Very very ugly big blot on the Brighton seafront.

So you get to see three times as much sea and three times as many rooftops. Amazing.

I just don't understand what there will be that's worth seeing from the top. The English Channel - great; The South Downs - you can get much better views from driving or walking through the Downs; Brighton rooftops - wow; The Isle of Wight - on a clear day maybe. As said by a previous poster...

Gets uglier as it grows. Definite similarity to Newhaven incinerator chimney.

Now it looks like Shoreham power station chimney. Ugly monstrosity.

I can fully understand why someone might want to spend a few quid having a bit of fun on the seafront with some friends. I just do not for one minute believe that going up the Eyesore 360 will be "fun".

Oh, and another thing .... the construction operation has completely f****d up that section of the seafront for months ... and right through the summer peak season as well.

You have your opinion and I have mine. I think I'll be correct though. As for foreign students loving it ... I don't think so ... a) can they afford it? and b) what's the point? You'll be able to nothing from the top that you can't see from Woodingdean or Race Hill.

Eyesore 360. A complete waste of everyone's money. I forecast it will be a white elephant.
