Singapore Flyer

One of the first things we did in Singapore was riding the Singapore Flyer. Since it was later in the day, we were fortunate to catch the sunset while riding slowly around the wheel, oohing and aahing over the cityscape and then the night lights. With just a few people in the car, we had a continually unobstructed view. For the next few days, we managed to capture the Flyer in daylight, often serving as a backdrop for a family picture.

The courtyard of the Flyer building had gorgeous lush gardens and waterfalls - just walking around this area was worth the admission. 

Some of the facts about the Flyer - 1,568 passengers/hour, 28 capsules, each cable weights 4.5 metric ton
