Green Point is ramping up the killer World Cup vibes.
Most of us frenzied Capetonian vibers will already know this, but those of you from outta-town will most definitely appreciate this vibe.
You know the London Eye? Well…
This isn’t the London Eye. It’s a frikkin French-designed, luxury Ferris wheel plopped in the middle of South Africa’s premier tourist attraction – the V&A Waterfront.
Appropriately-named “The Wheel of Excellence”, this superb contraption boasts a 50-odd meter diameter and “36 luxury capsules”.
Now that’s the vibe we’re looking for. Not only does the view from the Wheel of Excellence trounce the view from the London Eye, but it does it with luxury. Can I get an “Amen”?
This one above was the V&A’s last Ferris Wheel effort over le festive season, and I can tell you that they have gone from strength to strength.
Which reminds me, TWOF also lights up at night with two million LED lights. Sheesh, that must look crap.
A trip on this little puppy lasts 15 to 20 minutes, and will set you back a mere 80 Rond. Totally worth it.
If you get swamped in the ensuing stampede, you can wait until after the World Cup to take a ride – because it’s sticking around.
Don’t you love it? I love it.
