Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat
And that's how it looks like on the back
The Yakult garden, from the 2nd floor entrance
Here we are at the Singapore Flyer!
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 capsule is filled up with about 15 people before...
Then it's off to the Lollipop!
they shut you in for the whole ride! (theres only door handles on the outside)
Here we spot a UFO calling spire
As it gets darker, the blue glow in the capsule becomes more noticable
And everyone's all comfy for the ride, we get air conditioning and 2 entertainment screens!
And down we go!
Some bridging shots
Some nice shots of the wheel at the shopping area
And we are still just leaving the station!
Finally some things to see!
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!
Back to the city view (west)
The first highlight the Singapore GP Pit and starting Grid
There are even nets to catch disgruntled falling hordes!
Courtesy of these Mitsubishi heavy duty torque motors (12 of them to be exact)
So here we set off on our 50cm/second journey
Here comes our capsule of death!
I peek with my little eye
Then you get to scan your card to enter the holding area
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
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!
Some of the long stretches to the queue area
The wheel lights are on past 7pm
On the rear we have Temasek boulevard in the background
It still looks like day on the east side
Presumably rigged to our capsule roof top compass as well
View of the capsules from the 2nd floor
Standard security checks before entering
The 2nd of the waiting areas for umm. pre-ride photos
A view just as fine as art
Act like you are on the flyer!
In you go for your Gr8 Moment!
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!
