Singapore Flyer introduces a transformative journey that intertwines the city-state’s rich history with breathtaking 360-degree skyline views, marking Singapore’s 60th year of independence. The revamped Time Capsule, a two-storey multisensory attraction, redefines the pre-flight experience with cutting-edge multimedia, interactive exhibits, and cinematic storytelling, seamlessly integrated with a personalized web app. This immersive prelude sets the stage for a 75-minute adventure culminating in a ride aboard the iconic observation wheel.
The Time Capsule, relaunched in collaboration with creative studio Untitled Project, invites guests to explore Singapore’s evolution from its 13th-century origins as a trading port to its modern status as a global metropolis. Guided by R65, a time-travelling robot, visitors navigate interactive displays featuring full-screen video animations, projection mapping, and LiDAR technology.
Highlights include a meandering Singapore River exhibit tracing historical milestones and a nostalgic 300-degree projection wall showcasing the nation’s transformation, complemented by vibrant Peranakan-themed installations and interactive games.
Guests can enhance their experience using the Time Capsule web app, which offers deeper insights through QR-coded interactions with life-sized historical figures, from traders to the indigenous Orang Laut. This ground-level journey transitions to the Singapore Flyer’s 165-meter ascent, where the FLYER360 mobile app employs augmented reality to provide rich context about nearby landmarks.
