Christmas is coming to North Greenwich

Every year the fair comes to North Greenwich, near the O2. Usually a larger ride arrives first. This year it's the "Skylon Flyer". It's been rebranded: it still has "Star Flyer" painted on the tower. Here's a link to it's previous incarnation in Austria. Hmm. I haven't seen the one at North Greenwich go up and down while it goes round. Perhaps I can persuade my colleagues to take a spin.
