The Singapore Flyer big wheel is rolling again after an enforced two-month hiatus.
It was recently granted approval to restart after being forced to suspend operations on January 25.
A mechanical glitch halted the big wheel mid-flight, briefing stranding 61 people in the observation pods.
The part which caused the ‘technical fault’ has been replaced and the Building and Construction Authority gave the green light after inspections.
It officially reopened on Sunday and management expects business to pick up within days.
"We took time to run a thorough check as well as rigorous tests before resuming our flight operations, with the support of the relevant authorities," Veronique Ye, Singapore Flyer’s director of marketing and sales said.
It was not the first glitch to befall the attraction.
There were several mechanical mishaps in the first two years of operation from 2008 which included 173 guests being trapped in the Flyer for more than six hours due of an electrical glitch.
This came less than a month after another breakdown blamed on bad weather which stranded 70 riders for several hours.
