The idea of Singapore's Ferris Wheel first came into being in 2000, and the formal plan began in 2002. The German Melchers Project Management (MPM) and Orient Pacific Management (O P) jointly established Singapore Ferris Wheel Co., Ltd. as the developer of the project. MPM and O P account for 75% and 25% respectively. After the project was officially announced, a memorandum of understanding was approved and signed by the Singapore Tourism Bureau on 27 June 2003, formally recording the agreement between the developer and the Tourism Bureau on land acquisition procedures. The memorandum stipulates that the land in the coastal centre will be purchased from the Singapore Land Administration and leased to Singapore Ferris Wheel Co., Ltd. for a period of 30 years and an optional extension of 15 years. In addition, the Tourist Bureau will not charge rent during the construction of the project. In July 2003, Jones Lang LaSalle was appointed as the real estate consultant for the project. Takenaka Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries were selected as contractors, and Arup was responsible for structural engineering research and design. The Ferris wheel was originally designed to resemble the London Eye, with a height of 170 meters, but was criticized for lack of originality. The developer quickly responded that the design was not the final version, but for conceptual purposes. The Ferris wheel, which was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of 2005, was delayed indefinitely because of the difficulty in raising funds for developers. In September 2005, the project was funded by two German banks, Delbrueck Bethmann Maffei Bank (a subsidiary of Bank of the Netherlands), which provided S$100 million for the project and S$140 million for Yubao United Bank, which enabled the project to recover.

    When I went there, the ticket machine at the attraction was faulty, and I searched the Internet and I could actually book Trip.com. It was really awesome! And it's very silky, buy it immediately and enter the scene. The children are very happy and worth punching in.

    Really beautiful! Asia first, the world's top ten large Ferris wheel. There are many viewing angles and a panoramic view of Singapore. The landmark buildings have a clean view, especially when we caught up with the good weather, which is a particularly pleasing journey.

    The view from the Singapore Flyer. The best time to catch a ride is just before sunset.Highly recommended if you're interested.

    My trip to the Singapore Flyer was truly amazing.The Singapore Flyer, a colossal observation wheel, offers stunning city views. Boarding one of its capsules, I was instantly captivated by breathtaking panoramas. From the top, I could admire iconic landmarks like Marina Bay Sands and the city skyline. The ride was smooth and provided a unique perspective.

    The time passed quickly. When I first took the Ferris wheel, I was not married. I sat with my girlfriends for the New Year. After a few years, I sat with my children. I thought the children would be very scared. The result was very brave. I could lean on the window to see the distance. The scenery at night is also beautiful. When I arrived at the top, my legs were soft. Next time I experience the daytime ride and see what I feel differently!
