Remodeled Voyage on Singapore Flyer
Singapore Flyer Unveils Immersive Pre-Flight Experience
Starting August 8, 2025, the Singapore Flyer will offer a reimagined journey that transforms a 30-minute ride into an integrated 75-minute adventure. At the heart of this new experience is the Time Capsule, an immersive pre-flight attraction that retells Singapore’s story through a blend of interactive exhibits, cinematic storytelling, and technology [1][2][3][4].
Upon arrival, guests are greeted with a 300-degree projection wall and a chess-tile concrete table, inviting them to step into nostalgia and chronicle Singapore’s transformation [1]. They can use the Time Capsule web app and complimentary WiFi to scan QR codes and interact with life-sized characters, including friendly traders and the indigenous Orang Laut [2].
The journey begins with a personalized web app experience that tailors the journey to the visitor, enhancing engagement and allowing deeper exploration of historical content [3]. This is followed by multimedia presentations and cinematic storytelling that vividly bring Singapore's transformation to life, creating an emotional and immersive narrative [2][3][4].
Interactive exhibits using augmented reality (AR) and immersive technology make the history tactile and engaging. Guests can explore AR-powered landmarks, photo features, and mini-games accessible on the FLYER360 mobile app [3][4]. Upon boarding the Flyer capsules, guests continue the experience 165 metres above ground with panoramic views complemented by these interactive digital layers via the app [3].
The immersive ground-level experience transitions into the sky as guests board the Singapore Flyer. Full-screen video animations, projection mapping, and LiDAR technology are used to bring each moment of history vividly to life [4]. Guests are transported back to the 1200s to uncover Singapore’s mythical legends and fascinating origins as a bustling trading port [4].
On Level 2, Peranakan-themed installations, LiDAR-enabled interactive games, and multimedia showcases are present, exploring Singapore’s identity and role on the world stage [5]. The experience culminates in breathtaking 360-degree views of the city skyline [6].
Ringo Leung, General Manager of Singapore Flyer, states that the journey invites everyone to experience the Singapore story in an entirely fresh and entertaining way [7]. The reimagined Singapore Flyer journey presents a fun, multifaceted perspective of Singapore that goes beyond the traditional observation wheel experience [8].

The Time Capsule, a multisensory attraction first opened in 2020, has been transformed into a fully immersive pre-flight experience for the Singapore Flyer [11]. The Singapore Flyer soars 165 metres above the city during the flight [12].
This reimagined Flyer experience is led by R65, a time-travelling robot created in collaboration with creative studio Untitled Project [13]. Guests can wander down an interactive Singapore River as it meanders through the country’s history [14].
In summary, the reimagined Flyer experience starting August 8, 2025, centers on the Time Capsule immersive pre-flight attraction featuring personalized digital interaction, multimedia storytelling, interactive exhibits, and AR-enhanced discovery both on the ground and aboard the Flyer itself [1][2][3][4][5].
In the reimagined Singapore Flyer journey, guests can anticipate a seamless transition from home-and-garden settings to a travel adventure, as they interact with life-sized characters and explore Singapore's history using AR technology, right in their home-and-garden setting via the Time Capsule web app [1][2].
