i was on the World's LARGEST Observation Wheel sometime ago. yah, our "spoilt thrice and made the headlines of all major newspapers" SINGAPORE FLYER is still holding the Guinness WORLD Record till the Beijing wheel is ready in late 2009.
it was my 3th visit to the Flyer building, the previous 2 occasions were to dine at the Popeye's. when i first read on the papers that it gonna take a whopping 30 minutes to rotate one observation. i immediately exclaimed, "Serious ornot? take so longgg. got so much things to see meh. Singapore is darn small!!"
well, i can be wrong.
