SINGAPORE: The chairman of the company that built the Singapore Flyer – the world's biggest observation wheel – arrived in Singapore on Friday.
A Singapore Flyer spokesperson confirmed that Florian Bollen, chairman of locally-headquartered Great Wheel Corp, is here but declined any further comment, other than to say he flies regularly in and out of the country.
The company is also building observation wheels in Beijing, Berlin and Orlando.
Police are currently investigating Tuesday night's disruption that trapped scores of people on board the Singapore Flyer for nearly seven hours. Operations at the Flyer have been suspended.
Police have said it would only be allowed to resume operations once it has been certified safe by an internationally recognised body that assesses safety standards for amusement rides.
