First visit to Singapore Flyer on 1 Jan 2010



The Singapore Flyer 新加坡摩天观景轮 features 28 air-conditioned capsules and
a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes.

There are some capsules reserved for corporate events and family celebrations.
From the photo above, this is one of the capsules reserved for couples' sky
dining packages.

Of coarse, we can see the main Formula One pit building and grandstands while
the wheel turns.


From the top view, we can see Singapore skyline and few iconic landmarks like
Singapore River, Raffles Place, Esplanade and Marina Bay Floating Stadium, etc.


I believe the views from the Singapore Flyer will be even better if the
"Integrated Resorts" were fully completed this year :P

Yes Asrul, it's a breathtaking experience to have dinner with your loved one in the sky especially during evening time :)

I went to ride the Flyer in 2008 when it was still turning outwards towards the sea. The view from up there is wonderful and photo taking opportunities are really great, especially on that clear day that I took the ride! It's highly recommended to ride it at least once! :D

desmond said...

Yes Juliana, you are right. The view from the wheel is very nice and I will be there again once the IR was completed in the future.

WOW! (that's all I could say... I'm breathless..)

desmond said...

Saruman, you can visit the Singapore Flyer if you come to Singapore next time. Very nice :)

Took the capsule when Flyers was newly opened. I bet the view is better now with IR almost completed. The Popeye fried chicken there is very nice too!

desmond said...

Dennis, glad to hear you had been there too. You are right, the Popeye Fried Chicken is very tasty and I love it as well :P
