The Belfast Wheel was a 60-metre (200 ft) tall transportable Ferris wheel installation in the centre of Belfast, Northern Ireland, in the grounds on the east side of Belfast City Hall.
The Belfast Wheel was owned and operated by World Tourist Attractions and was brought to Belfast in partnership with Belfast City Council and the Department for Social Development.
It opened in November 2007 and operated seven days a week. Views right across Belfast and Belfast Lough could be seen from the 42 fully enclosed climate controlled capsules which rose to a height of almost 60 metres, on an approximately 13 minute trip. A VIP capsule with DVD, glass floor and champagne on ice was also available.
In May 2009, Belfast City Council voted to keep the big wheel on site for a further two years from 1 September 2009. Subsequently, the Belfast Titanic Society objected to plans for the Belfast Wheel to remain at its current location because it obscures a memorial to the victims of the Titanic disaster. The big wheel structure sits around and on top of the memorial and the Society has proposed that the memorial be relocated to the north eastern corner of the City Hall grounds. On 30 November 2009 the location of the Belfast Wheel again caused a row, resulting in the Lord Mayor of Belfast Naomi Long discussing the potential move of the Titanic Memorial before the 2012 anniversary.
The Belfast Wheel closed for business on Sunday 11 April 2010. The BBC reported that "the company that owns it - Great City Attractions - announced a few weeks ago it would be removed after two and a half years next to the City Hall ... The Environment Agency had objected to the wheel staying any longer as it wanted to ensure it did not become a permanent feature beside a listed building ... There had been talks about moving the wheel to Belfast's Titanic Quarter but there have been no developments on this." They also reported that "the last ride was at 1800 BST."
On 22 June 2009 a 38-year-old man wearing only a pair of shorts climbed to the top of the wheel, which was brought to a standstill, trapping tourists for over three hours. The man, a member of the traveller community engaged in a caravan protest over accommodation, was eventually brought back to the ground by a specialist team of firefighters and charged with disorderly behaviour and false imprisonment
