THE Singapore Flyer looks like it will be the coolest thing going around next year with 1.5 million people already booked to take a spin.That means the Flyer, which can take 784 passengers at a time, is already fully booked for its first three months once it starts turning on March 1.
Local tour agencies have snapped up 60 per cent of the seats since sales started in April with corporate clients such as banks and trading firms and individuals reserving the rest.
A ride on the Flyer - the world's tallest observation wheel at 165m, or 42-storeys high - costs $29.50 and will last for about 37 minutes.
General manager Cynthia Yeo, 30, has already staked a claim to being a frequent Flyer having bought 26 tickets for March and August dates.
Ms Yeo and her husband have been closely following the construction process since the Flyer's main structure arose on the Marina Bay site in April.
They had no qualms shelling out more than $700 on tickets as the days they picked were special - the March date is near her mother-in-law's 58th birthday and the other is National Day.
'I'm sure it will be a wonderful experience because of the beautiful view. From that height, we'll get to see Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia too,' said Ms Yeo.
