~Impact Singapore Flyer Has On Singapore~


Night View Of The CDB Area
The economic impact that Singapore Flyer has on Singapore’s economy is that it provides jobopportunities for the locals as attractions require lot of manpower to run the daily operations. As Singapore Flyer is built to attract visitor, this means that most of the visitors are tourists which will bring in more foreign revenue to Singapore. As Singapore Flyer is privately owned, thus, they have to pay taxes to the government which contributes to Singapore’s GDP.

Lighting Of Wheel
Another factor is political impact that Singapore Flyer is currently the largest observation wheel in the world. It improves the profile of Singapore as this iconic structure is known to the international.  



Beautiful Lighting 
Technological-wise, Singapore Flyer is an 
energy efficient structure as the motors are only required to lift the weight of the capsules up to the 12 o’clock position. Thereafter gravity will gradually pull it down. The LED lighting that is used to light up the whole wheel with a dynamic color changing effect is energy efficient which advocates environmentally friendliness. Thus it does not create any pollution and can be used to promote an environmentally friendly environment. 

F1 Race Track Below Flyer
For the socio-cultural impact the large crowds that can be seen during special events that are held nearby the floating platform and F1 pit like the F1 night race, national day, New Year countdown. As guest are there to board to capsule hoping to catch a glimpse of the events or fireworks that would be put off during the event. The long queue that is form during such events can ruin the atmosphere and the quality of visitor experience. Therefore their motive is to catch a glimpse of the firework or night race not to enjoy the ride.
