‘Singapore Flyer’ open for business

For those looking for the ultimate grand prix and ferris wheel experience (?), Singapore is clearly where it’s at.

The new ‘Singapore Flyer’, an enlarged version of the London Eye, has opened, for romance and corporate business at least. Lovers will be able to ride the wheel today in a Valentines Day special event for a cool S$399 per couple for a 30 minute spin, whilst companies are currently booking the 26 guest capsules for S$8,888 for two rotations, which reach 30 meters higher than its lookalike over the River Thames in London.

The attraction will open fully to the public on 1^st March, at prices of S$29.50 for adults, S$20.65 for children, and S$23.60 for senior citizens.

“Don’t call it a ferris wheel,” the builders Great World Corporation have asked. Oops, sorry.
