I have got a free coupon to the Singapore Flyer. Thanks to my sister, sister-in-law and niece who had participated in the National Day Parade on 09 Aug 2008. This year is Singapore’s 43rd birthday and all NDP08 participants were given a booklet of coupons in appreciation for their effort in participating the national event.

One of the coupons is “Fly For Free” for August Birthday Treat at the Singapore Flyer, meaning to say anybody whose birthday is in August is entitled to have a free ride. My birthday falls on the first week of August so I’m entitled to get a free ride. The original coupon has to be presented at the ticketing counter in exchange for a complimentary Singapore Flight ticket which normally costs $29.50 SGD for adult, $20.65 for child and $23.60 for senior citizen.

This is how the Singapore Flyer free coupon looks like :

The Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest giant observation wheel and it is standing at 165 metres or the height of a 42-storey building. The top of the Singapore Flyer is the breath-taking view of the Singapore Skyline. The Singapore Flyer ride helps you to view the Singapore Skyline in 360 degrees.

I managed to take a picture of the Singapore Flyer :

The Singapore Flyer was built in such a way that its waterfront attraction sits among a hotbed of some upcoming exciting developments in Marina Bay. The view in the capsule is not obstructed by all directions. You can view the Singapore landscape and even parts of Malaysia and Indonesia in different perspectives.

Each capsule can accommodate up to 28 people :

Duration of one ride is about 30 minutes :

I took the Singapore Flyer ride with my sisters and nephews. Here is a picture of my playful nephew :

Well, I enjoyed the free ride at the Singapore Flyer. I hope you enjoy it too if you have a chance to take the ride.
