That's not bad actually, especially when they dress it up in Newcastle United shirts. Bet it's caused quite a few accidents though with drivers on the A1 staring at it instead of the road.

What a waste of money!
There's not even a platform you can stand on at the top, it's just up in the lift and back down again.
Just as big a waste as those other heaps of metal, that so-called 'angel' in Newcastle and the other spikey thing they unveiled in (I think) Manchester.
If you're going to build a landmark, at least make it something worth looking at. Not to mention putting it somewhere worth going to to look at it.

5 years too late, £10 million over-budget.
if the council had 10 million knocking about they should've ploughed it into the hospitals here or given a break to those who struggle by on benefits, this pitiful "i wish i were that hotel in dubai" is an absolute waste of time and money.
the only positive about it is that there's an AWESOME all-you-can-eat chinese RIGHT next to it, so you can't fail to find the place when you go to eat there :)

Probably masonry dust on oiled cables.
Well that's my guess anyway.

I don't understand why things never work when they open.
Not as if they've had years to avoid being embarrased on opening day.
