Air-conditioned capsules
The Singapore Flyer capsule has been designed with the comfort of passengers in mind. Each capsule will be fitted with the latest cooling system and will be supported by a back-up air conditioning system together with a solid roof. At 165 meters high, the cool comfort of passengers is further ensured by fitting the capsules with UV protection to shield them from the blazing Singapore sun. With precision wind engineering, passengers can sit back, relax, and enjoy the spectacular skyline without worry of instability, lateral movements, or vibrations.
