Come Grow With Me: The Singapore Flyer

For a start, it is not the Singapore Eye...

The Singapore Flyer (新加坡摩天观景轮) is a giant observation wheel in Singapore and slated for an opening on March 1, 2008.
The 165 metres (42 stories high) structure is being built by Singapore-based company Great Wheel Corp. And it costs S$240 million. It will exceed The Star of Nanchang (currently the tallest) by 5 metres and the London Eye (currently the largest) by 30 metres. It will feature 28 air-conditioned capsules capable of holding 30 passengers each. A complete rotation of the wheel will take an estimated 37 minutes.

The cheapest adult ticket is S$29.50.

It is already expected that the Singapore Flyer will be a hit with its Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year packages. And probably also when the Singapore Grand Prix (Formula One) comes to Singapore on 28 September 2008.
