Singapore: The Singapore Flyer


Singapore now has the largest ferris wheel in the world (they call it an observation wheel - whatever). Its like the London Eye only considerably larger. At its top you are about 500 feet in the air, the height of a 42 story building. It takes exactly 30 minutes to do one revolution, so its not exactly spinning out of control. The give you this iPod thing that narrates a history of Singapore while you ride the wheel. Its interesting but the voice acting is pretty subpar. As you go higher and higher, the city reveals itself, then Indonesia, then Malaysia.
