Just read all the comments. Wheel or no wheel – why are people so bloody nasty to each other? Everyone is entitled to their own views. There’s enough shite in this world – just respect each other and let people have their say without being ridiculed.

Give the kids that roam the streets something to do. hmmm well personally i was one of those kids as a teenager and all i would have done is graffitted, drunk under and around it, loitered and bummed for money or smokes of who ever was around.
How is that any good for young families, if they want something to do there is pletny to do with the kids without wasting money for a 10 min ride and well for adults theres plenty to do in the city. We are Perth supposed to be one of a kind different from other states and all we are doing is becoming like the bigger tourist states…whats next WA government a bloody monorail after all both QLD and Sydney has one of them. We need to stay how we are to keep out the trouble maker from the foreshore and jetty to which families do tend to go on special events, weekends and holidays

Perth needs cool stuff to look at. The Ferris Wheel is great. Gives us something to do on a day out. Brings suburbians into the city to spend some money. $15 is pretty good. Its not something you’d do all the time, the kids love it and it keeps them well contained

Hi left Perth 2 years ago and was sorely disappointed to hear about a ferris wheel on the foreshore. One of the beauties of Perth is that view, with more and more converted buildings turned into swanky inner-city living why would you want that as your view??? I miss Perth and its gorgeous, clean, contempory, look and laidback feel and thats exactly why tourists love Perth and Australia as a whole. Keep its beauty, natural, clean, friendly…. Trust me a break from smog, dirty streets and rude a-holes is the best holiday they can get. Spend money on maintaining what Perth has, Art, culture, blues skys and wind sailing on Swan. Thats my 2cents!!!!

Interesting reading!!! I wonder…..do the people who are totally against the ferris wheel also against daylight saving! or is that another argument… about how we should move on but are afraid of change…just putting it out there, the wheel looks amazing at night and compliments this beautiful city. I LOVE IT!

I have only just seen it. I drove past the other night and I thought it was just spectacular. I’t looked fantastic with the lights on and I will be going back to go for a ride. Perth is so dreary compared to other states it needs someone with insight and imagination to make it more alive. Bring back Alan Carpenter.

I think this is a fabulous attraction for Perth. I also didn’t think that the $15 was bad when you look at it per minute. The views are amazing at night. And Heather i think there is more than enough space for you to read your book at the foreshore. AND i’m totally for the roller coaster idea… GO PERTH
