The Singapore Flyer is a giant observation wheel in Singapore, sometimes known as "The Flyer". It officially opened to the public on March 1, 2008. This program documents the incredible engineering feat it took to create the world's largest ferris wheel , even taller than the famed London Eye.
Reaching 42 stories high, the Flyer comprises a 492 diameter wheel, built over a three-story terminal building, giving it a total height of 541 ft. This exceeds the Star of Nanchang by 16 ft and the London Eye by 98 ft. Each of the 28 air-conditioned capsules is capable of holding 28 passengers, and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes.
Located on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land, it offers broad views of the city centre and beyond. Including the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, and Johor, Malaysia. With engineers from London, France, Japan, and The Netherlands, and construction done in Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia and China, this is truly a work of the world come together.
