A shot of the Skyline with The Sheares bridge lit
A view just as fine as art
About 10 minutes and we are 1/3 into the revolution
Across the exit aero bridge to...
Act like you are on the flyer!
And down we go!
And everyone's all comfy for the ride, we get air conditioning and 2 entertainment screens!
And here we are at the VIP room!
And that's how it looks like on the back
And the sun is setting!
And we are still just leaving the station!
As it gets darker, the blue glow in the capsule becomes more noticable
Back to the city view (west)
Boarding of the capsule is done without stopping the wheel
Capsules are enclosed so no kids can fall off hidden holes!
Courtesy of these Mitsubishi heavy duty torque motors (12 of them to be exact)![Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat](../../../../../../upload/2008/09/14/20080914063421-45eb73b1.jpg "Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat (6606 visits)")

Ok, That is all folks! Remember to check out my article on the flyer itself!

Photogenic moment of the transforming marina bay
Presumably rigged to our capsule roof top compass as well

Rawwr I am angry capsule on your tail...
Side rails ensure no angry hordes meet trampoline net
So here we set off on our 50cm/second journey

Some miscellaneous shots of the wheel at night, it rotates colour gradually
Some nice shots of the wheel at the shopping area
Some of the long stretches to the queue area
