Melbourne Star observation wheel reopens five years after COVID closure
In short:
The large Ferris wheel on the outskirts of Melbourne's CBD has sprung back to life, five years after a COVID-era downturn forced its closure.
The Melbourne Star has closed for years at a time since its opening in 2008 and its new owners acknowledging it was seen as "a laughing stock".
A business leader says the attraction will entice an extra 300,000 people each year to Melbourne's Docklands.
