They stopped the Wheel at Sea World today, because it was designed by the same people that designed the one that had the accident, it was closed for a couple of hours whilst they checked it over.

I thought it looked like our skyview. This is designed and built by mondial. Shame to hear about that

Although they are different makes (Bussink and Mondial) I would say the gondolas are of the same make (these are from a European ski-lift manufacturer contracted to both companies)

It appears one gondola has become locked instead of swiveling and remaining upright, and has subsequently stopped the one next to it from properly rotating, with tragic consequences.

Yeah, the cars looked like the skyviews. It looks like the car tilted or somethin
