For the main event and final ride is the Festival Wheel, with the 33m tall wheel giving passengers a view over Glasgow for miles.

Spooktacular tickets get you unlimited access to all rides for a four hour session - it also gives access to the food and drink village, photo opportunities, games and attractions.
