Description
The Jurassic Skyline tower (known until mid-2015 as the Weymouth Sea Life Tower) is an observation tower on Weymouth Pier in Weymouth, Dorset, England. It is situated next to Weymouth Beach and the Weymouth Pavilion, where it overlooks Weymouth town, the beach, the Pavillion, the Old Harbour, Nothe Gardens, the Nothe Fort, and Portland Harbour, including the Breakwater. It first opened on 22 June 2012.
The tower stands 53 metres (174 feet) high. The clear-fronted passenger gondola is able to turn a full 360 degrees as it rises during operation. It can accommodate 69 passengers at a time, and each tower session lasts approximately 15 minutes. A total of 1100 tons of concrete was used during building, whilst the tower itself weighs 140 tons.
On a clear day, at the highest point, views are said to extend into the English Channel and down the Dorset coast to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door]
