took the brisbane wheel for spin. ok for single or couple, but price would add up after that pretty quickly. havent been on anything like it. views are excellent to the south, and blocked by skyscrapers to the north - but a good view of those buildings then. if you live or work in a skyscraper you would get just...

As a local I did this with my boyfriend a few years back and I did not find it that great. I got quite bored and we only went aorund 2 times. If your looking at the great views its okay but if your a local its not too exciting. They did have souvenir photos though which were great! More

This is a nice, new wheel, it's by no means comparable to the London Eye as far as height goes, but it is a nice and romantic thing to do. More

A ferris wheel with a view right on the riverside at Southbank. What with the world's fascination with large wheels this comes in as a very poor cousin. Do London and Singapore first but if you are really desperate then this will possibly do. More

Great views of the Brisbane but a bit overrated and over-priced. The Singapore flyer is much larger than this, and almost half the cost. Well worth a ride if not local from Brisbane though. More

Great view of the city, and a good way to work out where everything is. It is a quick ride - about 5 laps that takes around 10 mins, and costs $15 for an adult. It was good, but I would have liked it to go for longer. More

A bit too expensive and boring - we couldn't wait to get off. Could be nice thing for a tourists to do - it does have nice views and has commentary. Not for locals! More

If you have been swimming, gallery hopping, sightseeing, and eating at southbank then a quiet 20 minutes on the Wheel is a great way to wind down and take in the lovely views of the city, mt cootha, the Bridges along the river and Southbanks lush gardens. 2 adults and 2 kids about $40 seems good value and the queue...
