SKYVIEW STOCKHOLM


Around 42,000kg of steel were used to reinforce the Globe’s structure and mountain climbers and a helicopter were required to help with installation. The attraction is operated by Stockholm Globe Arenas, a division of AEG, and since opening in February has ridden over 100,000 passengers.

Is it an observation wheel, is it a funicular? There’s no doubting where the designers of SkyView got their inspiration, but at least they’ve tried to do something different. This sightseeing attraction features two gondolas that climb on rails up the outside the world’s largest spherical structure, the Ericsson Globe arena in Stockholm. After a pre-show film, riders board one of two glass gondolas at plaza level before passing through an opening in the roof and up the 100-metre-long rails to the top of the 85-metre-tall building. Travelling at 1 metre per second, the gondolas take around two minutes to reach the summit. They then stop for around 10 minutes to allow passengers to enjoy the view before climbing back down.
