At a height of 165m, Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel (outside United States) and also one of Asia’s biggest tourist attractions.  Each Singapore Flyer capsule is about the size of a bus and can carry up to 28 people.  Passengers are able to walk around and enjoy the views outside without feeling any movement or vibration at all.  In contrast, due to its reliance on gravity which helps in keeping its carriage balanced, the carrying capacity of the ferris wheel is usually limited to about 8 passengers.  It promises more than just a view, but a panorama that captures Marina Bay’s skyline with a glimpse of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia.
