Proposals for two new visitor attractions at Cardiff Bay, including floating outdoor swimming pools and a 90-metre-high viewing platform have been revealed. The proposal for the outdoor swimming pools, put forward by Finnish company Nordic Urban, includes a sauna facility and would be located at the Mount Stuart Graving Docks near Techniquest.
The second proposal by Skyview is to build a 90-metre-high balloon ride with a rotating viewing platform on unused land close to the Red Dragon Centre. Cardiff Council's cabinet member for investment and development, Councillor Russell Goodway, said: "This administration has been clear from the outset about our commitment to rejuvenate Cardiff Bay.
"It's our intention to transform this historic part of Cardiff into a leading UK destination for leisure, culture and tourism, increasing visitors and, just as importantly, creating more jobs and opportunities for local people. Both developments will be privately funded and the council’s only contribution is to make the land available."
