LONDON EYE , operated by British Airways, the world's largest observation wheel, has re-opened following the completion of its annual statutory maintenance check. Technicians carried out a major overhaul of all the capsules, the wheels that 'turn' the attraction, the hydraulic pumps and the computer control systems. They also took the opportunity to completely refurbish and redecorate the ticket office, the caf”, the pier and the landscape area and to increase the restroom facilities. Last year, the London Eye received just over four million visitors, confirming its position as the UK's number one paid-for attraction. http://www.londoneye.com
