Singapore Flyer Reflection - Draft 2 ♥Singapore Flyer is the world's largest observation wheel. Standing at a stunning 165m from the ground, the flyer offers a breathtaking, panoramic view of our island city and beyond. It is also one of the main tourists’ attractions in Singapore, each capsule can take 28 people and each revolution takes approximately 30 minutes. I was filled with both excitement and anxiety at it was my first time boarding it. However, I hoped that the flyer will not stop in the middle of the journey, as it happened before last year. As for my expectations, I wished that I could see some of the famous landmarks of Singapore. Standing on the ground floor, I looked up to catch a view of the structure of the Singapore flyer and it was really magnificently huge. The surroundings at the entrance were very beautiful too. The hazy vision of the scenery was both stunning and spectacular. From a bird’s eye view, I saw some of the famous landscapes, like the Floating Stadium, Esplanade and the Marina Barrage and I stared at them in wonderment. As for the colourful Floating Stadium, which is located next to the Esplanade, consists of a 27,000-person seating gallery and the world’s largest floating platform performance stage on water. Before I stepped into the capsule, I felt that there were butterflies in my stomach and anticipated fear. However to my surprise, I could not feel the flyer moving at all. During the ride, the capsule was filled with the cacophony of students’ chatter. Some of them were very mischievous and ran around inside the capsule. After the ride ended, I felt joyous because the ride was an exhilarating one. Nonetheless, my expectations were met. I managed to see most of the landscapes and I feel that the flyer is really a superb engineering feat that was built. One of my friends had agoraphobia and claustrophobia and she was very scared when we were in the capsule. She dare not stand up and just kept sitting on the bench. However, the others were busy taking group photos with the teacher and pictures of the landscapes. We were also chatting and laughing during the ride. Some of the others were busy doing their task sheet, wanting to complete them as soon as possible. Overall, I enjoyed the trip to the Singapore flyer very much and also learnt many things about the famous landmarks. I believe that the majority of the students liked the flight. On hindsight, the trip was worth-going and a memorable one, and therefore I would definitely this recommend to others. I also hope that the tourism in Singapore would increase with the help of the famous Singapore Flyer. [449 words] References http://www.singaporeflyer.com/ Labels: Spore Flyer Reflection |
