Here we are at the Singapore Flyer!
Some nice shots of the wheel at the shopping area
Some bridging shots
A view just as fine as art
To get on the giant lollipop, you need tickets!
The Yakult garden, from the 2nd floor entrance
Standard security checks before entering
Then you get to scan your card to enter the holding area
View of the capsules from the 2nd floor
Some of the long stretches to the queue area
I never got so interested in Ferris wheels before, but oh well just being the kids I was!
The 2nd of the waiting areas for umm. pre-ride photos
You get to enter the wheel only by "aero bridge" which give it a cool "isolated feel"
In you go for your Gr8 Moment!
Act like you are on the flyer!
Then it's off to the Lollipop!
The last of the waiting areas where groups are dispatched in capsule groups
Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat
Here we are at the central boarding "hording" area
Courtesy of these Mitsubishi heavy duty torque motors (12 of them to be exact)
Here comes our capsule of death!
I peek with my little eye
The capsule is filled up with about 15 people before...
they shut you in for the whole ride! (theres only door handles on the outside)
So here we set off on our 50cm/second journey
They even have nice compass maps with can double for Kacump Puteh snacks as well!
There are even nets to catch disgruntled falling hordes!
Boarding of the capsule is done without stopping the wheel
More of the little circle thingy which make big circle thingy go round
And everyone's all comfy for the ride, we get air conditioning and 2 entertainment screens!
And we are still just leaving the station!
Finally some things to see!
And that's how it looks like on the back
Rawwr I am angry capsule on your tail...
Here we spot a UFO calling spire
Presumably rigged to our capsule roof top compass as well
The first highlight the Singapore GP Pit and starting Grid
On the rear we have Temasek boulevard in the background
And the sun is setting!
Capsules are enclosed so no kids can fall off hidden holes!
Nice view
About 10 minutes and we are 1/3 into the revolution
