This makes the i360 the worlds tallest moving observation tower.
It is also the tallest structure in Sussex.
But the viewing pod of the i360 is ten times the size of the London Eye capsule.
The 18-meters diameter moving pod also contains a bar.
“In a way it’s doing the same thing as the pier.
It’s providing a view,” explains architect Barfield.
If all goes well, ticket sales from the new attraction will generate an annual profit of 1m.
