The Singapore Flyer, a giant observation wheel that features brilliant engineering breakthroughs a world apart from the traditional ferris wheel, is set to be Asia's most visible iconic visitor attraction। When completed in March 2008, it will provide breathtaking, 360°panoramic views of Singapore and beyond।
Stands at a stunning 165 metres and strategically located at Marina Bay, the Singapore Flyer will transform the visual landscape of the surrounding Marina Bay area. Astride a three-storey Terminal Building with an exciting array of retail and F&B choices. A central atrium opens out to a lush tropical rainforest, while an open-air theatre hosting live performances will draw crowds from all over the island. Adding to the buzz of sights, sounds and activities will be a 210-metre long waterfront dining promenade. Visitors will be able to experience remarkable scenes of the Singapore skyline: the magnificent Marina Bay, towering skyscrapers, tropical greenery, and the bright lights and non-stop action against the beautiful skies. For 30 minutes, they will feel on top of the world! Indeed a must-see experience set to sparkle Singapore’s skyline!
In addition to the Singapore Flyer, construction on Asia's largest business and financial centre has commenced and a world-class Integrated Resort (casino) is due to start operations in 2009। The Marina Barrage (a dam built across Singapore's Marina channel) is also due for completion.
