The area below the capsules of the Singapore Flyer

Singapore has a number of tourist attractions, spread over the city and also in Sentosa. So, for example, there is a world class resort and casino, there are some great river cruises and ocean cruises. There is the international appeal of the Universal Studios Park that has droves of visitors every single day and double (or more) of that on weekends, there is a stupendous aquarium, there is the wildlife attraction with multiple destinations (the zoo, the night safari, the river safari, the Jurong Bird Park), and many more such destinations. One more such destination that seems to attract a lot of people is the Singapore Flyer. Like many such massive Ferris wheels the world over, the view from here is amazing. Located in the Marina area, the view from the capsules is incredible, seeing the Marina Bay Sands, the reservoir, and many other such attractions. The full trip up to the top of the Flyer takes around an hour.

The Flyer was opened in 2008 and started drawing a large number of visitors, and is included on the tourist attraction list of Singapore. A couple of times, it has closed down because of some engineering work, but otherwise it is a huge draw. This is an image from below the Flyer, and looks beautiful; you can see the size and engineering flow of the Singapore Flyer with a lot of greenery below.
