The highest ferris wheel in Russia (Lazarevskoye) is the most important attraction of the village. To get to it, people move to the middle of the park. Visitors near him, as a rule, a lot. In their reviews, they note slight doubts and fear at first glance at the structure. However, the curiosity inherent in human nature, and the thirst for thrills take their toll. This is a great way to get an incomparable experience.
Tourists report that the Ferris wheel (Lazarevskoye) even makes it possible to see the coast of Turkey in cloudless weather, not to mention the breathtaking seascape. Few attractions can cause a storm of delight. A few minutes stretch into an entire adventure when a person views the surroundings and is imbued with the beauty of the coast.
Hard work
At this facility, maintaining safety is of utmost importance. Reviews of people who visited the Ferris wheel, which Lazarevskoye can be proud of, are mostly positive. However, there are reproaches towards the organization of the skiing process. Firstly, a long line often accumulates near the entrance. The attraction worker is obliged to properly seat people in booths. Typically, visitors are allowed to sit together or three to enjoy the scenery in a family setting.
Secondly, people complain when they want to plant outsiders in their cab. Technically, this is permitted if the number of persons does not exceed 6 and 4 people in a closed and open booth, respectively. Due to the influx of people creates a nervous atmosphere. Employees do not always explain visitors the rules of the attraction politely and intelligibly.
Misunderstandings and disputes
In one of the cases, they wanted to put in the same booth with the mother and the child foreign children who were waiting for their accompanying person. The woman had the right to protest. After all, there was no person nearby who would take responsibility for minors. The employee of the attraction, in turn, had every right to put an allowable number of people in the booth. In this case, the misunderstanding is caused not so much by violation of labor standards as by the transition to aggression between the employee and the client. Similar cases occur from time to time. The attraction administration should carefully work on the service and discipline at the facility.
Overall rating
In most cases, the Ferris wheel in Lazarevsky leaves a positive impression. Reviews of him suggest that the population of the village is proud of the attraction.
The height of 83 m makes it unique, inimitable in comparison with other similar Russian objects. At night, the lights work, because of which the attraction is visible in the vicinity. The minimal emotions caused by the building are, at least, curiosity and a desire to try out this type of entertainment on their own. People rising to a height of 83 m for the first time prefer daytime. The review is then better. After that, there is a desire to compare impressions with the evening.
Visitors take photos that would not work out in any other place. The closer you get, the brighter the experience. Open cabins are offered in two types: 4 seats in a row or 2 opposite each other. They are used by people who came to the attraction not for the first time. In a closed model, a greater sense of security. But, having tried the sensations, visitors allow themselves more extreme.
Photo for memory
Those who want to get beautiful photos, but do not risk sitting in an open booth, stick a lens into the ventilation hole. As you rise, your interest and heart rate increases. The beauty of the landscape is bewitching. You can see coastal buildings and sea water, a pier, yachts, crowds on the beach, which seem tiny from a height of 83 m. Impressive guests of the attraction are alarmed by the swaying of the cabin due to the wind. The design is transparent, so that everything is clearly visible even when observing a closed, safe mode. The green elevations of the mountains, the private sector, several multi-storey buildings are opened to the eye. The picture delivers an unforgettable experience.
When the cabin descends, people understand that everything is not as scary as it seemed at the foot of the structure and during the ascent. On the contrary - I want to repeat it. Near the exit, guests are offered to take a free photo next to the attraction poster. The picture is not of the highest quality, but it is very nice to hang it on the refrigerator or put it on the table and unexpectedly find it later, remembering the emotions experienced. If you want to make better cards (with a frame or a magnet), the price is negotiated separately (from 150 rubles). This is an invaluable memory of an exciting adventure.
