View of the capsules from the 2nd floor
So here we set off on our 50cm/second journey
Nice view
The place looks rather spacey-porty at night
Some of the long stretches to the queue area
They even have nice compass maps with can double for Kacump Puteh snacks as well!
About 10 minutes and we are 1/3 into the revolution
Side rails ensure no angry hordes meet trampoline net
I never got so interested in Ferris wheels before, but oh well just being the kids I was!
There are even nets to catch disgruntled falling hordes!
The night is approaching and we are still climbing up!
Across the exit aero bridge to...
The 2nd of the waiting areas for umm. pre-ride photos
Boarding of the capsule is done without stopping the wheel
The wheel lights are on past 7pm
More $$$ spent!
You get to enter the wheel only by "aero bridge" which give it a cool "isolated feel"
More of the little circle thingy which make big circle thingy go round
It still looks like day on the east side
Here you get to see your green screen photos you've taken pre-ride, costs $12-$20
In you go for your Gr8 Moment!
And everyone's all comfy for the ride, we get air conditioning and 2 entertainment screens!
Everyone rushed for seats at the start, 5 minutes later, no one was on them!
And here we are at the VIP room!
Act like you are on the flyer!
And we are still just leaving the station!
Back to the city view (west)
Some miscellaneous shots of the wheel at night, it rotates colour gradually

Then it's off to the Lollipop!
Finally some things to see!
Here we are at the top of the revolution
The night experience is just as unique as the day, or you can experience both like me!
Here we are at the Singapore Flyer!
The last of the waiting areas where groups are dispatched in capsule groups
And that's how it looks like on the back
And down we go!
Ok, That is all folks! Remember to check out my article on the flyer itself!
Some nice shots of the wheel at the shopping area
Crossing the "Aero" bridge over the Yakult moat
Rawwr I am angry capsule on your tail...
As it gets darker, the blue glow in the capsule becomes more noticable

Some bridging shots
Here we are at the central boarding "hording" area
Here we spot a UFO calling spire
Photogenic moment of the transforming marina bay
A view just as fine as art
Courtesy of these Mitsubishi heavy duty torque motors (12 of them to be exact)
Presumably rigged to our capsule roof top compass as well
