Now Open: Sands SkyPark at Marina Bay Singapore (What a Friggin View!)
Marina Bay Sands ^

Posted on 06/26/2010 12:04:40 AM PDT by TruthHound

The Sands SkyPark is an awe-inspiring engineering wonder. This unique structural masterpiece, designed by visionary architect Moshe Safdie, floats atop the three soaring Marina Bay Sands hotel towers 200m in the sky.

Stretching longer than the Eiffel tower laid down or four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets, with an impressive 12,400 square meters of space, the Sands SkyPark can host up to 3900 people. The gravity-defying cantilever is one of the largest of its kind in the world. From this privileged observation deck, hundreds of visitors at a time can feast their eyes on the unforgettable panorama view.

An absolute paradise in the sky, the Sands SkyPark features idyllic landscaped gardens that are home to 250 types of trees and 650 types of plants. An iridescent swimming pool links across the span of the three hotel towers, with a surreal infinity edge overlooking the city.

Home to luxury rooftop restaurants and lounges, the Sands SkyPark offers exclusive perks to hotel guests and a taste of the good life to lucky visitors. Whether you come for a gourmet meal, a refreshing cocktail, a heavenly dip in the pool, or to simply revel in the unsurpassed views of Singapore and the new national Gardens By The Bay, you will be forever captivated by the spellbinding Sands SkyPark.

With the Sands SkyPark pool and Observation deck to be open on the 25th June, take in the astounding features!

Oh lord! How did you take that?!

I just meant the female floating there wasn’t too interesting to me because I’m also female.

Oh chit, I should keep my bloody keyboard shut!

What an unbelievably ugly building.

I concur. I do like the general idea of the spanning top deck, and love the idea of the pool with a view. (Even cooler: if the pool were to have a glass bottom in the section between buildings!)

But to view it from across that lake? UGH!!!! F.U.G.L.Y!!

Yea, no kidding! My luck, I'd be floating next to that good looking chick and Rosie O'Donnell would jump in the pool and over the side I'd go.........

So, you're saying she's in the pool 24 hours a day?

When does she go to the bathroom?
