Megawheel (1 x 60')
Imagine... a ride on the first observation wheel constructed using third generation engineering technology.
Imagine no more. The construction of a mega-observation wheel on a scale the world has never seen has begun. Soaring to a height of 557 feet (170 metres), the Singapore Flyer reaches 114 feet (35 metres) higher than the London Eye. Yet it is 30% lighter than the latter. The US$140 million Singapore Flyer will be a technologically advanced engineering-and-design marvel. It is a stunning example of how rapidly advancing technology is allowing engineers to build bigger and taller at a breakneck pace.
In a dramatic, character-driven fashion, 'Megawheel' follows an international team of specialists, engineers and designers as they face incredible engineering challenges and a race against time to design, construct and erect the gargantuan wheel smack in the middle of Singapore's busy central business district.
