Details of the balloon ...


Singapore's latest theme attraction opened in May 06. Today, we are flying at a record of 180m (48 storeys) – the highest observation ride in Singapore! At 6,500 cubic metres, The DHL Balloon is the World's Largest Tethered Helium Balloon. Safe for all ages...it offers visitors a unique way to view the 'whole' of Singapore.
A flight aboard The DHL Balloon is an extraordinary experience which excites both young and old. This silent and gentle nature of a balloon flight gives passengers a real thrill as it sways with the breeze and floats into the sky. Passengers seem to be on a floating balcony ascending up to a height of 180 metres (48 storeys high) with nothing under their feet and only a gigantic balloon over their heads. The view slowly unfolds itself as you ascend till you can even glimpse some of our neighbouring islands and countries. Moving around the floating platform, the 360 degrees panoramic view of the cityscape is truly breathtaking!

Lastest news on the DHL BALLOON
位于美芝路“新七层楼”酒店旁的巨型氦气球(DHL Balloon)后天起将“更上一层楼”,把原本150公尺的升空高度提高至180公尺(约48层楼),比同样以登高望远为号召的新加坡摩天观景轮(Singapore Flyer)还要高。
它也将是全球15个氦气球设施中最高的。氦气球在美芝路地段的租约将在今年8月到期,业者希望把它迁移到滨海南建造中的滨海公园内。
如果找不到适合地点,可能迁移到国外。
