Would be awesome if the base was taller. Imagine this thing a couple of hundred feet higher! Then the views would be beautiful.

I like it. From the model posted earlier it seems to have a great veiw of the skyline. Why not do it?

While it's not exactly the most original idea or anything, if I ever visited Singapore, I'd probably take a ride on it. Why not?

I bet you most of the bashers haven't ridden the London Eye. It's a great experience - and I plan to ride it again when I'm in London the week after next.

I like it!

Call me nostalgic but I'm excited about this project. It's a bit of a rip off of the London Eye but hell ferris wheels have been around for over a hundred years.

Please keep us informed about this project.

BTW what is the projected completion date? This time next year?

RafflesCity · #30 Posted **Nov 25, 2006, 11:09 AM**

It will open for business in early 2008.

Will be glad to post updates here

Being stuck in a capsule with 35 other people for 37 minutes on a gigantic ferris wheel that's carring a total of about a thousand human beings at a time will be quite a unique experience.

I assume 37 mins include the loading time otherwise I'm not going.

i know i would be bored on a ferris wheel ride for 37 minutes

That place looks ugly. What's with all the whiteys in Singapore?

RafflesCity · #34 Posted **Feb 11, 2007, 10:40 AM**

Progress: 10 February 2007

It can be seen on the right.

What would be REALLY cool would be if you put the wheel with the rotating base on top of a skyscraper. Maybe in Dubai ...
