The Singapore Flyer - Singapore's response to London's "The Eye"

The Singapore Flyer reaches 541 feet into the air.  The wheel itself measures 492 feet in diameter and sits atop a three story terminal building.

Each of the Flyer's 28 fully-enclosed, climate-controlled, school bus-sized capsules can accommodate up to 28 riders apiece during the wheel's half hour revolution. What's more, each capsule is attached to the outer edge of the structure, providing an unobstructed view of the surrounding region and, on clear days when visibility tops 28 miles, riders are treated to views of the city-state as well as nearby Indonesian islands and Malaysia.
