yeah it is cool. cost a lot to build, but, running costs are minimal. like £10 a day . they charge each tourist £8 to £10 for a 10 min ride on it. 20 ppl every 20 mins. cuts out 5 hours work to just 5 mins. the doors open down like( |.| \./ _._ \./ |.| ) if that makes sense. all the water in between gets pumped out. the area underneath it is dry.

Welcome to the Cellar, grapyn.

Yes, your operation description is perfectly clear.
The picture shows the set up perfectly.
Thanks for answering my question, plus.

Undertoad, Scottie was supposed to be from Linlithgow - just a matter of minutes from the wheel.
