With the Sziget Eye earning international recognition as a Budapest landmark after spending most of 2014 whirling above Erzsébet Square, officials decide to turn it into a year-round attraction – but to increase visitors it will be moved to a riverfront location. Possible sites include the Danube Promenade, the Várkert Bazaar, or the middle of the Chain Bridge.

Not a single passenger affected by this change complains about it.
