I'll walk ye up to Napoleons Nose on the Cavehill, where the view is 10 times better and I'll over charge you a fiver.

It and Glencar Waterfall are my 1-2.

Not been on it but have been past it load of times over the last couple of days/weeks, queues very small, £6 each, you can hire a pod for £44, VIP pod £65, with champagne £80!
Looks like a bit of a let-down!

I see the mandarins have decided to keep thon big eye up in Belfast centre til December 2008.

I went for a spin on it at Christmas. The girlies were all petrified, but I thought it was as exciting as going up an escalator.

What exactly is there to see when you're up there?
The only building I can think of that you'd want to see in Belfast is City Hall. It's hardly London!

My brother and his wife were on it. They found it boring. Like pints says, there's nothing of interest to look at.

No, you cannot see up women's skirts in the pod above you.

Ach Jaysus, where's your sentimentality here. Have none of yous yet says 'I'll meet you at the eye". A bit like the pillar for any out there who can remember that far back, before it was blew up.
