The Wheel of Dublin, also known as Revolver,[1] was a transportable Ferris wheel installation in the Dublin Docklands in the North Wall area of Dublin, Ireland. Commissioned by Harry Crosbie and operated by World Tourist Attractions, it opened to the public in July 2010[2] and was closed and dismantled 16 months later in November 2011.[3]
Dimensions
[edit]When it was installed, it was reported to be "60 metres high".[2][4] However, when it was dismantled and moved to York, it was reported as "the 53-metre observation wheel".[5]
It weighed 350 tons, had 42 capsules, and a total capacity of 336 passengers.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
