VIP seen at the fairground (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
big wheel
'vip' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for big wheel that I've seen before include "Amusement as London Eye" , "Fairground attraction - important person" , "going round in London" , "Important person - fair attraction" , "Fairground ride" .)
