Big disappointment! We came here for dinner: The first 30mins were actually quite nice, the way up to the restaurant was cool, the view was amazing and the staff was friendly.

On top of the ride, you can enjoy a magnificent view when you reach the top. You can have a beer at the restaurant and have one of the nicest view you...
