UK - London - Fairground ride and Millennium Wheel

Rising circular fairground ride with EU member flags and Millennium (ferris) Wheel on London's Southbank. Looking up from the ground, we see the theme of circles and silhouettes in an afternoon sky as fearless people on these rides enjoy the scary sensation of flying through the air. Flags of European nations fly from each gondola. The Eye, or as it was known in 2000, the Millennium Wheel, was designed by architects David Blian, Julia Barfield, Malcolm Cook, Mark Sparrowhawk, Steven Chilton and Nic Bailey, and carries 32 sealed, air-conditioned passenger capsules which rotate at 0.26 metres (0.85 feet) per second (about 0.9 km/h or 0.5 mph) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes.
