Deepavali, the festival of lights and a public holiday. So we take a "flight" on the flyer. Although we had 5 tickets, B2 is unable to join the ride as he has to prepare for his "O" level exams. The flyer is interesting. We have to board while it is still moving. The views is stunning and exciting especially when we reach the apex. The capsule is airconditioned and is comfortable. After we started the journey down, the rain clouds reach us and everything become blurry. The ride was stopped due to the rain and all onboard alighted.
B3 is afraid of heights. So he sat on the bench for the whole ride. I was a little surprised by his fear and his thighs turned purple as the blood vessels near the skin turned cold. I hope he will be able to overcome his fear in future.
At the apex, it is a little scary and the good thing is the movement of the capsule is continous. So we know we are on our way down. I do not know how those were caught in a 4 hours jam when the motors failed feel. It must be panic as there were no information and finally have to rappel down with the rescuers. It will be a ride they never forget.
