SINGAPORE FLYER

Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel located in Singapore. At a height of 165m, Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel and is set to be one of Asia’s biggest tourist attractions. Featuring fixed capsules the size of a bus, the spectacular monument is capable of holding up to 784 passengers. Each capsule has a 28 person capacity and each revolution takes approximately 30 minutes. This was the first time I was going up on that observation wheel, but due to its time to time malfunction I was a little afraid of the ride. The Singapore flyer, itself holds many shops within this fascinating building.
The Singapore flyer was outstanding as it was the tallest building around the area. The place was filled with tourist wanting to go on this exhilarating ride. But to my surprise the ride’s duration was just right as we were making our way to the capsules; we had to take a group photo. After which we went through a security check which was very similar to those in the airports. We were also able to see all sorts of attractions like, Marina Barrage, Esplanade and the Merlion.
When the capsules started to ascend, I looked at all the landmarks and our attraction that sight was a thing to behold. Everything looked so small from above. I could barely see the Merlion. I was captivated by the beauty of the blue sea. Things for me was at the beginning of the ride was a little bit bumpy, I dare not peep through the window of the capsule at all, It was only after a few minutes that I picked up my courage to see through the window. When I first saw it, I was at a loss for word as the scenery was really beautiful, after which, I started to take pictures of our landmarks and we later took a group photo in the capsules. I will remember that for the year. The ride was very soothing as we went up slowly not like on the streets, where we have to rush through almost everything.
There was a funny thing that happened on the way up. Those person who was initially scared was totally not frightened when we reach the top. They were always exclaiming how scared they would be when they reach the top but they were not even the list scared when we reached the top, ironic right.
This trip was very enjoyable as we were even given free time to explore the shops in the flyer itself we went through shops after shops and saw many different things that were up for sales that were let you remember the trips. On whole I would like to recommend this to other people who want a bird eye view of Singapore.
