World's Tallest Ferris Wheel: The Singapore Flyer, Singapore
The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel in Singapore. Described by its operators as an observation wheel,[4] it opened in 2008, construction having taken about 2½ years.[1] It carried its first paying passengers on 11 February, opened to the public on 1 March, and was officially opened on 15 April. It has 28 air-conditioned capsules, each able to accommodate 28 passengers, and incorporates a three-storey terminal building.[5]
The Flyer has an overall height of 165 metres (541 ft) and was the world's tallest Ferris wheel until the 167.6 m (550 ft) High Roller, which is 2.6 m (9 ft) taller than the Flyer,[6] opened on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada, US, on 31 March 2014.[7] The previous record holder, the Star of Nanchang, in Jiangxi, China, is 160 m (525 ft) tall, although its 153 m (502 ft) diameter wheel is larger than the Flyer's 150 m (492 ft) wheel.
The Singapore Flyer is taller than Singapore's highest peak, Bukit Timah Hill surprisingly. It is also taller and bigger than the London Eye, therefore making it an observation wheel instead of a ferris wheel. [4] Wikipedia
