An Experience Onboard Singapore Flyer

After a busy week, i had the privilege of being invited to go on a FAM trip yesterday on board Singapore's most anticipated new attraction - The Singapore Flyer.



The final capsule was installed on 2 October last year. The observation wheel started rotating on February 11 and it officially opened to the public on March 1. This exceeds The Star of Nanchang by 5 metres and the London Eye by 30 metres.



The Flyer stands at 165 metres tall and offers a breathtaking, panoramic views of Singapore and beyond. The capsule measures 4 metres by 7 metres and has an interior space of 28 square metres, comfortably accommodating a maximum of 28 passengers. Each ride takes about 30 minutes.

My colleagues and i were told to go up to Level 3 after picking up our complimentary tickets.





I found this picture from Nic's camera. He must have taken it while i was away. The dog is so cute.

Once we got on board, everyone seems to be totally busy taking pictures.











We were really excited as the capsule moves up. I enjoyed the azure blue tropical sky, towering skyscrappers, lush grennery and vibrant city.

















So how's the view like from the flyer? Check this out ...

Feeling totally happy & satified after the ride. Who needs to go on London Eye now. Ha ha .. we have our own Singapore Flyer. I'll try going for an evening ride some day. I believe the experience will be different.
