The well-loved Cape Wheel will be moved from the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre to a location close to the Waterfront’s boardwalk. Currently the new location is under construction as well as maintenance on the Cape Wheel itself. By the end of November passengers will have a more spacious area when visiting the wheel according to Travel News.
