Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat
And that's how it looks like on the back
Here we are at the top of the revolution
They even have nice compass maps with can double for Kacump Puteh snacks as well!
The Yakult garden, from the 2nd floor entrance
The capsule is filled up with about 15 people before...
Here we are at the Singapore Flyer!
Here we spot a UFO calling spire
Then it's off to the Lollipop!
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)
And everyone's all comfy for the ride, we get air conditioning and 2 entertainment screens!
And down we go!
And we are still just leaving the station!
Some bridging shots
Rawwr I am angry capsule on your tail...
Boarding of the capsule is done without stopping the wheel
Capsules are enclosed so no kids can fall off hidden holes!
Finally some things to see!
Back to the city view (west)
The first highlight the Singapore GP Pit and starting Grid
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)
Here comes our capsule of death!
Some nice shots of the wheel at the shopping area
I peek with my little eye
The last of the waiting areas where groups are dispatched in capsule groups
More of the little circle thingy which make big circle thingy go round
And the sun is setting!
Here we are at the central boarding "hording" area
Nice view
About 10 minutes and we are 1/3 into the revolution
Then you get to scan your card to enter the holding area
Everyone rushed for seats at the start, 5 minutes later, no one was on them!
The night is approaching and we are still climbing up!
The wheel lights are on past 7pm
It still looks like day on the east side
On the rear we have Temasek boulevard in the background
Some of the long stretches to the queue area
Presumably rigged to our capsule roof top compass as well
Standard security checks before entering
View of the capsules from the 2nd floor
The 2nd of the waiting areas for umm. pre-ride photos
Act like you are on the flyer!
In you go for your Gr8 Moment!
A view just as fine as art
I never got so interested in Ferris wheels before, but oh well just being the kids I was!
To get on the giant lollipop, you need tickets!
Oh so that's where we came from!
