Brighton’s i360 tower – dubbed the “world’s thinnest tower” – has been forced to close for the third time in eight months due to a temporary fault.
The ride, which has been plagued with problems since it opened last August, was closed on Sunday and is not due to reopen until Tuesday, BBC news reports.
It comes less than a month after it closed for four days when a damaged data cable caused passengers to be stuck for more than an hour.
In September 2016, the observation pod broke down three times within five days.
In a later breakdown, 200 passengers were stuck at ground level for more than an hour when one of the sensors around the pod docking stations became loose.
Two hours later, there was a second technical fault leaving another group of visitors stuck in the pod.
The 531ft (161m) tower offers views of up to 26 miles of the Sussex coastline. Visitors ascend 450ft (137m) in a 360-degree curved-glass pod.
