I guess it’s because there’s nothing much to see when you are up in the Singapore Flyer.. perharps wait till the IR is up, and the city park at Marina Bay and there will be more good scenaries… otherwise all are empty land around; what’s there to see??
mainly because of the bad economy and people are careful when spending. SGD29.50 for a ride in too exp (similarly to the defunt DHL Ballons) i guess the flyer will be another tourist trap in singapore. (Maybe one the IR is ready, thing might turn up better)
Expected this would happen as the original price was far too expensive for the average local citizen who would not make repeated rides. It seems reasonable now, and to survive well, the Company should explore ways to market their services for govt agencies and companies’ functions as well. A discount for a second round of ride would be attractive. Any expensive attraction or event lasting less than an hour and a half, and costing above $15 would not work in the long run, for both locals and tourists who are more discerning now. The trick for continued business is to get them back for many repeated visits. Just a thought.
It is expensive to run business in Singapore. It needs a steady flow of revenue to sustain its high overhead cost. Locals are not thrill to go up the flyers more than once even if the price is much lower than $14.00.If the flyer is totally dependent on tourism, then it must be a sure-visit item. I anticipate it shall change ownership in less than a year or two.
Escalating oil,food prices,higher transport costs,not much money,jobs are hard to find & economy is very bad!
