York, NYK Lookouts & Observation Decks
The Yorkshire Wheel is a smaller version of the London Eye and opened in York in 2006. The wheel, which is part of the National Railway museum, has 42 pods and is 54 m (177 ft) high - about the same height as the famous York Minster. Passengers are allowed more than one rotation and can enjoy views of the Minster, the Roman Walls and the city beyond. The wheel is licensed for weddings and sometimes features Valentine's Day speed dating events.
