A giant ferris wheel has been erected at one of North Wales’ most popular tourist attractions.

Now finished and fully functional, the ride stands has been sited near the amusement arcades on the town's pier. The star attraction has been custom-built by the same family behind luxury sports car maker Lamborghini and cost almost £1m to create.

While a sight to behold in the daytime, the attraction is perhaps best viewed at night when it is lit up by thousands of colourful light bulbs making it visible for miles around.
