Singapore Flyer, Singapore (Video clip)
The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel located in Singapore, constructed in 2005–2008.



Described by its operators as an observation wheel, it reaches 42 stories high, with a total height of 165 m, making it the tallest Ferris wheel in the world.

Designed by Arup and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries with a capacity of up to 7.3 million passengers a year, the normally constant rotation of the wheel means that a complete trip lasts approximately 30 minutes.

The wheel features 28 air-conditioned capsules which, like those of the London Eye, are exo-capsules attached outward of the wheel structure. These offer the advantage of a continuously unobstructed view when the capsule is at the peak, unlike the more common endo-capsule design of most wheels.
