Fun and excitement on a Singapore Flyer ride!

Since February 14, 2008 the Singapore Flyer spins it’s giant wheel.

It is not only the world’s tallest ferries wheel but it also allows the most spectacular views over the Marina Bay Area all the way to Changi Airport, Sentosa Island and to the South many of the Indonesian Islands. No where else in the world your are able to experience this combination of city and nature views within a radius of about 45km (28 miles) depending on the .

If you can’t imagine the hight of 165 meters (542 ft) just think of a 42 story building.

You will be flying in one of the 28 capsules which are the size of a city bus and can carry 28 passengers each.

The Singapore Flyer rotates smoothly nonstop. To board the capsule you’ll use the “step on platform” and walk straight into it.

Your ride (one rotation) is about 32 minutes. 

It is really an amazing experience. But it doesn’t have to stop here. To make this ride an even better experience the guys from the Singapore Flyer have added some really fantastic variations to it which they call “The journey of Dreams”

You could enjoy “The World’s First Full Butler Sky Dining” (click the head lines for the links)

or the “VIP Signature Cocktail Flight”

or a “Moët & Chandon Champagne Flight”

“1 for 1 Singapore Sling Flight”

Come Christmas time you have to see Singapore’s tallest Christmas tree and the fantasy Toy-land with toy soldiers, teddy bears, gingerbread man, Christmas jingles, bubbles and fairy lights, built around the Flyer’s award winning rain forest.

   As you can see this ride is not just a ride or flight, this is a totally exciting and amazing experience you can enjoy with affordable prices.

The Singapore Flyer is ready to spin

The Singapore Flyer will officially open on March 1. Since a view weeks they've already been spinning the magnificent wheel in a soft launch.
We've been lucky to grab some tickets in advance taking the change to be among the first to experience the tallest ferries wheel in the world. And I have to say it's really breathtaking to slowly climb the highest point at 165m.
It is 30 metres higher than the London Eye and 100 m higher than the Vienna Ferries Wheel. The wheel's diameter is 150 meters.
It takes about 30 minutes to hover to the height of a 42 storey building and back to ground level.
It's a very quiet and smooth ride in these 28 fully air conditioned and UV protected glass capsules with capacity for up to 28 people each. You can experience some of the best views in the entire region, Singapore's city from Changi Airport to Sentosa Island, the container port and on clear days beyond into parts of Malaysia and the Indonesian Islands.
Its exciting to watch the enormous construction activity in our city from a birds eye view. You can spot hundreds of busy cranes all over the island.
The construction site for the Integrated Resort seems to be huge from here.
A lot of construction activities are related to the Formula One Night Race in September. Below you can see the shell construction of the pit stop.
Only a few month more and the peaceful spinning of the flyer will we interrupted by the roaring sound of highly powered Ferrari or Mercedes engines. Reaching the highest point after 15 min.
Looking 165m down.Unfortunately our "friendly" neighbours sent us over some haze which disturbed the wonderful view a bit.
Moving downwards again.

Back in the base.

But there is more than just experiencing the amazing view. The organizers have a lot more to offer:
You can rent a whole capsule for yourself for all kind of occasions such as Weddings -Birthday parties -Class gatherings -Graduations, you name it.

Want to see the fireworks on National day or New Years Eve you better be quick, these special dates are taken up fast.

You have to ride the flyer at least twice to experience the gorgeous view of Singapore and neighbouring islands and one flight at night to see the city lights.

It's definitely worth it.
