The London Eye is Spinning Backwards! Wait, What?
You know that iconic Ferris wheel, the London Eye? Well, it's doing something pretty weird right now – it's spinning backwards! Yeah, you heard that right, backwards! It's a bit of a head-scratcher, isn't it?
Why's the London Eye Doing a Reverse Spin?
The reason for this backwards spin is actually pretty simple: Daylight Saving Time! Yup, that time change we all love to hate is the culprit. When we switch our clocks back in the fall, the sunset comes earlier. This means the London Eye would normally end its day with a view of the city as the sun sets. But who wants a dark view of London? Nobody!
So, They Flip the Script
To keep the sunset views going, the London Eye operators decided to do something clever – they flip the wheel's rotation! Now, the wheel spins backward, giving riders a gorgeous view of the sunset as they're going up instead of down. It's basically a giant, slow-motion sunset experience. Pretty cool, right?
Get Your Sunset Views In!
If you happen to be in London during the Daylight Saving Time period, make sure to check out the London Eye! It's a unique experience, seeing the city bathed in the golden light of the sunset as you ascend. And, hey, who doesn't love a bit of backwards action?
Just remember, the backwards spin is a limited-time thing! Once Daylight Saving Time is over, the London Eye goes back to its regular rotation. So, if you want to see the sunset views from the top of the wheel, you'll have to catch it while you can! Happy spinning!
