A plan to create a unique viewing cabin that would soar 69 metres into the sky above Bristol city centre from the roof of We The Curious has been dropped - but the inventor said he is still looking for an alternative venue to carry out the project.
The Arc would have created a new visitor attraction for Bristol, and taken ‘passengers’ on a 20 minute ‘flight’ from the roof of the city centre science museum. It did, controversially, win planning permission in April 2021, but then in April this year, We The Curious was hit by a devastating rooftop fire that has caused the attraction to be closed for the past nine months.
With no re-opening date yet confirmed, the team at We The Curious said the time taken out has caused them to reflect on the project, and they are no longer going ahead with it ‘at this time’.
