A new attraction in Piccadilly Gardens is the Manchester Starflyer. This ride takes the brave (some might say foolhardy?) 70 metres into the air and then swirls them about for a bit, 24 people at a time. I like the sky blue and sky white colours of the ride but the closest I will get to it is from down here on the ground...
Today's post is to wish Tim a Happy Birthday ;-)
Ah yes I heard about this - not sure I've time to get into Manchester right now but if I do I'll only be looking up at it!
ReplyDeleteI would be one of the best spectators at a ride like this:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm always afraid to to for this attraction ;) Great photo :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, definitely Chrissy......30 years ago :)
ReplyDeleteScary stuff!
ReplyDeleteI saw that thing in action last week - it scared the living daylights out of me just looking at it! What made it worse was the sound of the screams of terror from the 'passengers'.
ReplyDeleteI'll stick to terra-firma!

Nice angle on the picture. Hope your birthday is less scary but just as exciting as a ride on the Starflyer Tim!
ReplyDeleteIt was a snapshot from inside a tram, so I was lucky with the result ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't get in that thing for anything :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot though!
Sincerest greetings from the Netherlands,
