The Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest Observation Wheel and one of Asia’s biggest tourist attractions.  At 165m high, it is some 30m taller than the London Eye wheel.  The Singapore Flyer was conceived and designed by Dr. Kisho Kurokawa and DP Architects, Singapore.  It held its groundbreaking ceremony in September 2005 and was launched in 2008.

Each capsule has a 28-person capacity, and each revolution takes approximately 30 minutes with visitors enjoying a panorama that captures Marina Bay’s skyline with a glimpse of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia.

MRT – Promenade Station (Circle Line, CC4) is a five-minute walk to Singapore Flyer!  Take Exit A and look out for blue pedestrian signs to Singapore Flyer.

Universal Studios Singapore markets itself as a ‘one of a kind theme park in Asia’.  And this is very true.  It is the center piece of the transformation of Sentosa Island into a world-class resort.  Construction started in April 2008 and the park was formally opened on May 28, 2011.

The 49-acre park has 24 attractions, of which 18 are original or specially adapted.  There are seven themed zones, each based on a blockbuster movie or a television show with related attractions, characters, dining and shopping areas.  The world’s tallest pair of dueling roller coasters is based on Battlestar Galactica; there is a castle from the world of Shrek and a live music show ‘Monster Rock’ featuring the infamous Universal Monsters and the recently opened ’Transformers 3D thrill ride.  More than enough for any screaming queen.

MRT – Take the North East Line to Harbour Front Station and change for the Sentosa Express or RWS 8 Bus.

The Helix Bridge links Marina Bay to Marina Centre.  It was opened on April 24, 2010, and is the world’s first curved bridge.

This 280-metre pedestrian linkway – the longest in Singapore – features a world’s first ‘double-helix’ structure. Inspired by the yin and yang concept in Asian culture, the architecturally unique bridge is said to bring wealth, happiness and prosperity to Marina Bay.  

The bridge is an engineering masterpiece assembled with great precision.  The curved design is created by two opposing spiral steel members, held together by a series of connecting struts, symbolising “life and continuity”, “renewal”, “everlasting abundance” and “growth”,  and resembles the structure of DNA.
