Singapore Flyer has stop operation for further and thorough investigation with the police force due to it last small fire incident. On the day of malfunction, its patrons had trapped within the capsules for more than 6 hours. Singapore Flyer’s professional rescuers were assigned to it a couple hours later for helps before the Singapore Civil Defence force came engaged, after informed by the management. Eventually, some of them had to be hospitalized for minor medical treatments.
This incident greatly affects the business of the tenants under the Singapore Flyer, and were granted to have their rentals waived for a certain period. If you have bought the ticket, you are entitled for refund. Group tourists might have to swap to other scenic spot in lieu. This is the fourth and most serious time Singapore Flyer get involved with malfunction, started from a small electrical fire.
Singapore Flyer’s management said they are taking immediate steps to ensure that this thing will not happen again and the most important thing is to impose greater ability to operate the wheel at all times with additional independent back-up mechanisms. Hopefully, those positive actions will enhance Singapore Flyer stableness even when some technical problems occur in the future, and let all business associates under the Flyer get back to tracks as soon as possible.
Whilst some commented this observation wheel is still mediocre, after all it is a machine that needs improvement and maintenance. To get more on the latest announcement, visit Singapore Flyer website.
