Confluence - Biggest wheel of them all
A little science and engineering design allow the Singapore Flyer to fly higher than any other Ferris wheel. Some simple geometry and forward-thinking engineering made the Signapore Flyer taller than the London eye by almost 50 feet. In doing so, the Flyer has become a cultural landmark and tourist attraction for Singapore that not only offers incredible views of the city, but a venue for events such as celebrations, weddings, meetings, and more. You haven't seen fireworks until you've viewed them from the Flyer - in and sometimes even above the show.
