The gigantic Ferris wheel in Singapore (Singapore Flyer) in 2008 already as much as 30 meters surpassed the famous "London Eye". The highest point is 165 meters; to understand that you are there is very easy, you will be congratulated with the stay at the correct altitude wheel itself. And to understand what 165 meters, it's enough to look at any house with a height of 55 floors. I must say that in good weather, even Indonesia and Malaysia can be seen from here (and this, for a minute, 45 km).

The wheel is located to the southeast of the Sea Center. The diameter is 150 m; under the wheel - a three-story terminal building with shops, bars and restaurants. In the first three nights after the opening, tickets for the Singapore Flyer cost 8888 Singapore dollars (at the current rate of only 6271 US dollars). Why such a sum? No, it's not at all a way to cash in, just the number 8888 is considered favorable in Chinese culture.

In total there are 28 air-conditioned capsules in the wheel, each of which can accommodate 28 passengers (some of them are VIP booths where Moet & Chandon champagne is served). A full turn takes about 30 minutes.
