The final capsule was installed on 2 October 2007, the wheel started rotating on February 11, 2008 and it officially opened to the public on March 1, 2008. Tickets for rides on the first 3 nights were sold out for S$ 8,888 Singapore dollars (US$6,271)(��3,150.83GBP), an auspicious number in Chinese culture.[1] The grand opening for the Flyer was held on 15 April 2008.[2] Reaching 42 stories high, the Flyer comprises a 150 m (492 ft) diameter wheel, built over a three-story terminal building, giving it a total height of 165 m (541 ft). This exceeds the Star of Nanchang by 5 m (16 ft) and the London Eye by 30 m (98 ft). Each of the 28 air-conditioned capsules is capable of holding 28 passengers, and a complete rotation of the wheel takes approximately 30 minutes. Initially rotating in an anticlockwise direction when viewed from Marina Centre, its direction was changed on 4 August 2008 under the advice of Feng shui masters. Located on the southeast tip of the Marina Centre reclaimed land, it offers broad views of the city centre and beyond to about 45 km (28 mi), including the Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia. 新加坡摩天观景轮是亚洲最具代表性的建筑，为旅客提供新加坡及邻近地区的壮观全景，呈献刺激难忘的体验。新加坡摩天观景轮位于滨海湾的优越位置，矗立在购物和饮食选择包罗万有的购物休闲场所之上。购物休闲场所中厅设有一处林木茂盛的热带亚洲雨林;在户外剧场举行的现场表演盛会，吸引着四面八方的观众目光。除此以外，总长度达210米的海边餐饮长廊，将为一切缤纷活动增添更多姿采！置身165米的高空之上，旅客将能够体验新加坡城市轮廓的迷人景色：风光明媚的滨海湾、高耸入云的摩天大厦、热带的翠绿景致，以及万里晴空下所映照出的耀眼光辉。 For more information, please Click here ^^http://picture.comegoogle.comi 26comegoogle.com26 sg.comegoogle.com26Copy right26262626
