Singapore Cable Car Sky Network Launch

For over 40 years, millions have soared through the skies from Mount Faber, through HarbourFront and onto Sentosa by the Singapore Cable Car. I am one of millions who have fly with Singapore Cable Car before. Still remembered my experience on boarding Singapore Cable Car last year, it was a joyful ride. I enjoyed the bird's eye view of the Sentosa-HarbourFront precinct.

I was delighted when I know that Singapore cable car has open a new line on Sentosa Island and over the moon when they invited me for the launch of Singapore Cable Car Sky Network.

The launch was held at Siloso Point Station.

There are three cable car stations servicing the new Sentosa Line which includes the Merlion, Imbiah Lookout and Siloso Point Station.

The new Sentosa Line, a $78 million investment, will allow visitors to connect from Merlion Plaza to Siloso Point, on the western tip of the island conveniently. It enhances connectivity and accessibility on the island.

Mr S Iswaran, Minister in Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister for Home Affairs and Trade & Industry, was the Guest of Honour for the launch.

Together, they launched the new Sentosa Cable Car line. Together, the two lines form the Singapore Cable Car Sky Network.

So beautiful.

With the launch over, it's time for us to board the cable car. Feeling so excited, we can't wait to hop in.

The scenery was breathtaking. We had a great view of the entire Siloso Beach. Though we were 100 metres above the sea, it wasn't scary at all. We felt so relaxing and happy throughout the 10 minute ride. The breezy wind made us feel cool in the cabin.

Thanks Jas for the photo.

We were reaching the hilltop. The scenery was brilliant, I want to come back again in the day time for more photo taking.

Other than the views, the Sentosa Line gives visitors a convenient access to the attractions located in Merlion Plaza, Imbiah Lookout and Siloso Beach areas.

Strongly recommended to buy the unlimited ride passes because one round is definitely not enough. You would want to sit in the cable car for as long as you want. I am already missing the cable car ride now.

Joanne, GF, me, Jas, and Jane.

Onboard Singapore Cable Car‏ with DC Comics Super Heroes

What is a perfect weekend to you?

To me, a perfect weekend is about spending quality time with family and friends exploring new place of interest.

I had a great Saturday with activities packed to the brim for me.
Began my day at Faber Peak Singapore for the official launch of the latest Singapore Cable Car Campaign. Singapore Cable Car has unveiled their the new collaboration for its 40th Anniversary Celebrations.

It's been almost 2 years since I last took Singapore Cable Car, I totally missed it. The other time I took was in the night time so I really wanted to try the one in the day to catch the spectacular view of the Singapore's city skyline.

Singapore Cable Car is delighted to bring yet another innovative cable car ‘joyride’ experience to local residents and overseas travellers with the collaboration with Pacific Licensing Studio (PLS) and Warner Bros. Consumer Products.

We can now experience Asia’s First-Ever DC Comics Super Heroes Cable Car in Singapore. What beats flying together with your favourite super heroes.

Let's hear more about it at the launch.

I was here together with my buddy, Christine.

The mayor was updating us about the latest news happening in town: The Joker has been up to mischief in Singapore and caught lurking around the waters near HarbourFront. The DC Comics Super Heroes are coming together to fight The Joker.

Faber Peak Singapore, located at a high of 100 metres above the sea, will be the mission-base of the renowned Super Heroes. For the next 10 months, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern will also be taking to the skies in the Singapore Cable Car which has been identified as the perfect vehicle to combat evil and save the day!

They will be here with us from 31 May 2014 to 31 Mar 2015.

A spectacular view of Faber Peak.

In creating an immersive and differentiated experience, there will be lots of activities for the young (and the young at heart!) – all at the Peak of Mount Faber.

Mark the date in your diary on Saturday, 14 June. It's Super Heroes Day.

Celebrate Father's Day with the DC Comics Super Heroes. Several Super Hero-themed activities have been planned for the little heroes and the big heroes.

Before you onboard the cable car, remember to download 'Fly with super heroes' mobile app to enjoy one-of-a-kind experience where you can ‘fly’ with your DC Comics Super Heroes in the cable car ride.

We were ready to onboard the 'Batman' themed cable car.

Excitement came rushing over me.

Beware of the photo spam.

I always thought this part would be scary like the moment we ventured out, we will be going down the slope.

But in actual fact, I don't feel anything like that. The ride is smooth and steady, you won't feel scared at all.

Check out the cable car cabin. Both the cabins’ exterior and interior were decked out in ‘DC Comics Super Hero’ graphic wraps.

There will be a couple of QR codes present in the cabin, look for it and scan using 'Fly with super heroes' mobile app. The super hero will be out to save the day.

Woohoo, Batman came out and protect us throughout our ride.

We alighted at HarbourFront and hopped on to Wonder Woman cabin.

Gotcha, Wonder Woman was spanning across the sea.

I really think the app is super cool.

I could even take selfie with Wonder Woman. I had so much fun playing with the mobile app. Come try it too.

Download the app here:

IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/fly-with-super-heroes/id882368314?mt=8

After having fun with playing the app for almost half of the journey, I shall use the other half of the time to enjoy the scenery and for selfie time.
