The feeling inside the capsule was very boring. The surrounding views, were not exactly breathtaking. The ticket price was way too expensive. S$29.50! Not worth.

I would certainly discourage my friends and others to take a ride at the SF. No wonder many capsules I observed on that day were empty. I can’t believe they use “3 month fully booked” as a marketing gimmick. Dishonest company would not go far. Singapore Flyer project is a total failure. Sorry to be honest about it.

And I’m glad you like my idea. 🙂 If you really think there is potential, sure let’s go and pitch it. I can even do the website.

Casino is not big deal, but gambling in a pod on a giant wheel will be cool.

If only I am working in the Singapore Flyer and can contribute these.

Ian, I like your Wheels of Fortune idea and perhaps we can pitch it to the casino moguls when they arrive (circa 2009)?

kookabaru, I guess they want to make the flight as authentic as possible. Do they have cabin crew though? 😉

box, photography or filming would be nice… I am sure the views would be spectacular!

it looks like an ideal place for photographic societies or digital camera companies to hold annual/bi-annual events which showcase photographic work – “Fly through the Sunrise” as a theme for example might work really well.

I was thinking we should team up with everyone of the other wheels. Looking at the list, I would assume that the cities with big wheels also have casinoes.

Create some visit “Wheels of the World” Campaign. Go to each of the wheels, sit on it, get a photo, keep the ticket, put them all in a fodder that can be purchased. When you sit on the last wheel in your collection ( you can sit them in any order) you get say $100 dollars worth of chips for the casino …or some sum larger..and you are filmed betting on some double or nothing game. Then that clip is put on the website for this campaign.

BA does a roaring business, just because a lot of tourists would like to take a look at the Big Ben, Thames, Westminster Abbey. They certainly provide “surprise service”… they act as if you’re boarding a plane (all the security checks whose authencity I doubt ).

BTW, what are you doing in Brazil if you don’t mind me asking?

Kevin, interesting amazing race idea. We could do something from attraction to attraction and get Allan Wu to see how many rides he can take without puking his guts out!

eastcoastlife, I am sure they will have family packages. The trick is not to rush to the attraction too early but wait till later. From experience, prices will usually moderate itself later, especially during offpeak periods. Just look at Crazy Horse!
