Here we are at the Singapore Flyer!
The Yakult garden, from the 2nd floor entrance
The capsule is filled up with about 15 people before...
They even have nice compass maps with can double for Kacump Puteh snacks as well!
And that's how it looks like on the back
Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat
Then it's off to the Lollipop!
Some nice shots of the wheel at the shopping area
Some bridging shots
they shut you in for the whole ride! (theres only door handles on the outside)
The first highlight the Singapore GP Pit and starting Grid
Then you get to scan your card to enter the holding area
Courtesy of these Mitsubishi heavy duty torque motors (12 of them to be exact)
So here we set off on our 50cm/second journey
Finally some things to see!
Here comes our capsule of death!
And everyone's all comfy for the ride, we get air conditioning and 2 entertainment screens!
I peek with my little eye
Some of the long stretches to the queue area
The last of the waiting areas where groups are dispatched in capsule groups
As it gets darker, the blue glow in the capsule becomes more noticable
Here we are at the top of the revolution
Here we are at the central boarding "hording" area
And we are still just leaving the station!
Here we spot a UFO calling spire
There are even nets to catch disgruntled falling hordes!
More of the little circle thingy which make big circle thingy go round
And down we go!
Boarding of the capsule is done without stopping the wheel
About 10 minutes and we are 1/3 into the revolution
And the sun is setting!
Capsules are enclosed so no kids can fall off hidden holes!
Rawwr I am angry capsule on your tail...
Back to the city view (west)
The night is approaching and we are still climbing up!
On the rear we have Temasek boulevard in the background
The wheel lights are on past 7pm
It still looks like day on the east side
View of the capsules from the 2nd floor
Nice view
Everyone rushed for seats at the start, 5 minutes later, no one was on them!
Standard security checks before entering
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!
Act like you are on the flyer!
In you go for your Gr8 Moment!
The 2nd of the waiting areas for umm. pre-ride photos
Presumably rigged to our capsule roof top compass as well
To get on the giant lollipop, you need tickets!
Ok, That is all folks! Remember to check out my article on the flyer itself!
