S'pore Flyer crosses 1m ticket sales in 5 months

By Judith Tan

The Singapore Flyer has crossed the one million mark in ticket sales, just five months after it took off.

Nearly half was sold to tourists, and the rest to locals, mainly to grassroots organisations and corporate groups.

Mr Florian Bollen, chairman of The Singapore Flyer, on Thursday said the $240 million attraction - the world's largest giant observation wheel - is on target to draw 2.5 million visitors in its first year of operation.

He was speaking at the opening of a new visitors centre jointly organised by Natas and the Association of Singapore Attractions.
