Month : Nov ‘08 Location : The Singapore Flyer, Singapore
This is also part of my first shootout and one of my first night shoots. The collection is nothing much except for the flyer itself and the little garden inside the flyer. The Singapore Flyer is one of the latest iconic symbol of Singapore and is the world’s largest observation wheel in the world. The flyer is located at Marina Promenade, a walking distance from Esplanade and Marina Square. Tickets are prices at $26.50 for adults and $13 for children. I went on it once during night time. For those who’re afraid of heights, not to worry.. It feels very safe inside, very stable. I’m afraid of heights too so it’s really fine. I just didn’t dare to step to the edge of the capsule.. My one advise though, if you have yet to try this, take a ride when the integrated resort (IR) is ready cos for now, there’s really nothing much to see except for cranes and constuction works… at night I mean.. Not sure about day time..

Hi there,
Glad you got it fixed. I’m not much for Amuzement rides. When I was kid I took a ride on a ride called the ring of fire and it got stuck with us all upside down. The ride edged its way up and up and finally hung you upside down. Needless to say I didn’t like the feeling. There’s another ride that you stick to wall and then the floor falls out from under you. Needless to say I don’t do rides.

Awww… What a bad experience.. I love rides actually. Thrill ones..
But for this flyer, it’s more of an observation wheel and definitely not classified as thrill rides.
It’s exactly the same as the Eye of London.

Thanks a lot Bob! Do drop by again!
