Mount Faber Leisure Group (MFLG) is pulling out all the stops for Singapore Cable Car's 50th anniversary. Pikachu-themed cable cars have been running since February and will continue through April 30, with free rides for seniors on Tuesdays. And now, MFLG is introducing new and futuristic-looking SkyOrb Cabins.

Seven SkyOrb Cabins will join the existing fleet of cable cars. These new additions are unmistakeable, sporting a spherical shape and chrome-finish – a first for cable car design in the world. What's more, the SkyOrb Cabins have glass-bottomed floors so you can look straight down at the scenery below your feet. These are definitely not for those with a fear of heights, but provide a special thrill and panoramic views for those who have no such qualms. At nightfall, a ring of light around the cabin window will illuminate the cabin with a futuristic glow.

To improve guests' experience, the SkyOrb Cabins also have double window louvres at the front and triple window louvres at the rear to improve air ventilation.

The SkyOrb Cabins will officially take guests from March 20. Purchase your tickets at the Singapore Cable Car Mount Faber and Sentosa Station ticketing counters from the same day. If you're a Mount Faber Line and Cable Car Sky Pass ticket holder, you can upgrade one way of your round-trip to a SkyOrb Cabin experience. The upgrade costs $15 per person on weekdays and $20 per person on weekends and public holidays.
