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
Oh so that's where we came from!
To get on the giant lollipop, you need tickets!
Here comes our capsule of death!

The Yakult garden, from the 2nd floor entrance
I peek with my little eye
On the rear we have Temasek boulevard in the background
A shot of the Skyline with The Sheares bridge lit
Standard security checks before entering
The capsule is filled up with about 15 people before...
And the sun is setting!
The ride ends and it's all dark already!
Then you get to scan your card to enter the holding area
they shut you in for the whole ride! (theres only door handles on the outside)
Capsules are enclosed so no kids can fall off hidden holes!
Out of the capsule here we go!
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

The wheel lights are on past 7pm
