About this audio guide
This guide to the Singapore Flyer follows an odd controversy from its opening year: after the wheel launched in two thousand and eight spinning counter-clockwise, feng shui masters raised an alarm about which way its fortune was flowing. You'll hear what the operator decided to do about it, and what it cost to change the direction of a structure already turning. Watch the wheel's slow rotation as you listen for why the direction mattered so much.
