    Diameter of the wheel:
    150 metres

    Height:
    165 metres (the height of a 42-storey building)

    Duration of ride:
    37 minutes

    33,700 square metres

    Transport/ Accessibility

    * Parking for 33 tour buses and 280 motor vehicles
    * Pedestrian access via the waterfront, Raffles Avenue, and the New Bridge from the nearby Integrated Resort.

    Easy Access for the Elderly and Wheelchair Bound
    A synchronised double door entry/exit system which enables access from both sides. Passengers will experience an easy “step on” access, making it convenient for the elderly and wheelchair bound.

    Revolutionary Wheel Rim
    The slim ladder truss rim represents an engineering design breakthrough, moving away from the conventional triangular truss ‘ferris wheel’ configuration.

    Precision Wind Engineering
    The wheel design, based upon an extensive study of the dynamic wind load data ensures that passengers will be able to enjoy Singapore’s spectacular skyline without experiencing lateral movement or vibration. The emphasis is on comfort and safety.
