    Those stupid glass balls cost £86 million. In the first 12 months they generated approx £120million of increased spending in the region. Check here if you don't believe me (sorry couldn't find a geocities link).

    The project was aiming to bring in tourists from all over the globe (and has) so a simple name that easily translates was probably the best way to go. Not particularly origonal but it doesn't seem to be putting people off visiting.
