The Weymouth Sea Life Tower was an observational tower in Weymouth, Dorset, England. It was situated next to Weymouth Harbour and the Weymouth Pavilion, where it overlooks Weymouth town, Weymouth Beach, the Nothe Fort and Portland Harbour, including the Breakwater. It first opened on 22 June 2012 and closed 2 August 2019. The tower stood 53 metres high (174 ft) and was able to turn a full 360 degrees as it rises during operation. The clear-fronted passenger gondola of the tower can accommodate 69 passengers at a time,whilst each tower session lasts approximately 15 minutes. A total of 1100 tons of concrete was used during building, whilst the tower itself weighs 140 tons https://www.facebook.com/mesmoland https://www.flickr.com/photos/mesmoland/sets 02/08/19 Closure announced on facebook: *ANNOUNCEMENT* Jurassic Skyline opened in 2012 as a temporary attraction offering unique views of Weymouth, Portland and the Jurassic Coast. Since then the attraction has welcomed almost 750,000 visitors. However, over recent years visitor volume has declined and having thoroughly reviewed all the options on the financial viability of the Jurassic Skyline, we have reached the difficult decision not to extend the life span of this attraction. As a result Jurassic Skyline is now permanently closed. This was an enormously tough decision which has been reached with a heavy heart and with the utmost consideration. We will be working closely with Dorset Council to manage the removal of Jurassic Skyline and reinstatement of the land at the Peninsula in the coming months. We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our staff who have shown amazing commitment and teamwork over the years. We also want to thank all our wonderful guests for their support.
