A FERRIS wheel in London seems to be fine for the cockneys, but a Ferris wheel for York, certainly not. In my estimation a Ferris wheel belongs to a fair with roundabouts etc.

I do not call York a fairground. York is a fantastic city, that is why people travel thousands of miles to look at the city's heritage.

Does anyone think they would travel thousands of miles to see a dastardly configuration like that?

It is being situated near the National Railway Museum because that would be a good catchment area for the wheel. Where else could they put it?
