And the sun is setting!
Here we are at the central boarding "hording" area
More of the little circle thingy which make big circle thingy go round
The last of the waiting areas where groups are dispatched in capsule groups
I peek with my little eye
Here comes our capsule of death!
The first highlight the Singapore GP Pit and starting Grid
Back to the city view (west)
Rawwr I am angry capsule on your tail...
So here we set off on our 50cm/second journey
There are even nets to catch disgruntled falling hordes!
Courtesy of these Mitsubishi heavy duty torque motors (12 of them to be exact)
Then you get to scan your card to enter the holding area
Finally some things to see!
Boarding of the capsule is done without stopping the wheel
Capsules are enclosed so no kids can fall off hidden holes!
... to smile underwater!
And we are still just leaving the station!
And everyone's all comfy for the ride, we get air conditioning and 2 entertainment screens!
And down we go!
Some bridging shots
As it gets darker, the blue glow in the capsule becomes more noticable
they shut you in for the whole ride! (theres only door handles on the outside)
Here we spot a UFO calling spire
Some nice shots of the wheel at the shopping area

Then it's off to the Lollipop!
The capsule is filled up with about 15 people before...
Here we are at the top of the revolution
They even have nice compass maps with can double for Kacump Puteh snacks as well!
Making a splash landing at the splash hotel!
Here we are at the Singapore Flyer!
And that's how it looks like on the back
The Yakult garden, from the 2nd floor entrance
Racing is fun!

Putting the pieces of the chasis together
Looking finished already!
Laying the drive, steering and electronics
Pre-race pep talk at the starting grid
Our car after the race
Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat
Putting all the pieces together
It's surprising relaxing to drive on the motorways despite covering over 500km at ago.
Grind away!
