Singapore Flyer is Giant Observation Wheels (for now)

The Singapore Flyer is a giant Ferris wheel located in Singapore, constructed in 2005–2008. Described by its operators as an observation wheel,[1] it reaches 42 stories high, with a total height of 165 m (541 ft), making it the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, 5 m (16 ft) taller than the Star of Nanchang and 30 m (98 ft) taller than the London Eye.

If you seen my previous post about Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer can be seen on the left hand side when you are heading to MBS. The location not too far from there. From the top you are able to see Indonesian islands of Batam and Bintan, as well as Johor, Malaysia.
