In Singapore you will take a head head-spinning twirl on the Syngapore Flyer, also built in 2008, at a height of 165 metres tall. The London Eye would be your next choice of heights, at 135 metres tall. It used to be Europe's tallest wheely.

It was capable of carrying 2,160 people and was powered by two steam engines. It took only 20 minutes for the wheel to make two resolutions. Even The Great Observation Wheel of Beijing, will only have a capacity to carry 1,920 people. So having circled the world and discovered its great ferris wheels, oops observations wheels of the world, it will be time to head home again and enjoy the simple things of life once more, from the relative safety of ground level.
