Description
Announce the return of the Royal Windsor Wheel to Alexandra Gardens from 2 April 2009. Due to its popularity, the Wheel will now be almost a permanent resident on the Thames riverside as it rolls in for its fourth successive year. 2009 welcomes the graceful giant wheel for an extended 7 month stay spanning all four seasons, allowing visitors the chance to enjoy the spectacular panoramic views whatever the weather and from the comfort of their climate controlled capsules.
Visitors can soar over 50 metres into the skies above historic Windsor, with breathtaking views over the Castle battlements, the River Thames and the stunning countryside beyond. On a clear day or night you can even see as far as the gleaming arch of Wembley Stadium and the glittering skyline of Central London. Featuring the cutting edge in Observation Wheel technology and beautifully illuminated by night, the Windsor Wheel offers an unforgettable and awe-inspiring experience for everyone, and a unique venue for a special celebration or event. Visitors can also enjoy a glass of Pimms or Champagne at the licensed Café Bar and take home a fantastic photo souvenir of their flight.
The Wheel is situated at the eastern end of Alexandra Gardens. Each of the 36 capsules can seat up to 6 people comfort or for the ultimate flight to remember, a VIP Champagne Capsule can be booked featuring leather seats, glass floor and DVD player, seating up to 4 persons. Each flight will encompass a number of rotations and will last approximately 12 minutes.
Advance Bookings can be made at www.royalwindsorwheel.com or can be booked in person at the Wheel between 10am-10pm subject to availability. It is anticipated that weekends will sell-out extremely quickly so advance booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
