What about the Singapore Flyer being closed for a few hours? When i arrived at 5.30pm, it was open for operation and i definitely did not see ANY helicopters flying around at that time for filming because i looked at every capsule and was certain that no filming was being done at that point of time.
Something i left out mentioning.
At the Courtyard at Raffles, i spotted a camerawoman from Mediacorp (Broadcaster of Channel 5, which airs the amazing race and planned the TAR 3 Singapore leg) and she was waiting for a cab outside Raffles Hotel. Do we have any wind that teams were actually somewhere nearby?
Also, i'll try and find out if Mediacorp was involved in the planning of the leg for this time again. Someone who knows can help please?

Joab, my sense is that in the past, TPTB have tended to go back to people or firms they've used before to get production assistance. So IMHO, Mediacorp might well have been used.

to follow up:
While I would consider riding the Singapore Flyer, the world's tallest Ferris Wheel, to be one of the must-dos in Singapore, the night we went it was amazingly uncrowded -- in fact, we came very close to getting a tube of our own. My friends and I got there around 6:30, an arrival perfectly timed for sunset, which happens quickly this close to the equator. We navigated the maze of shops and ramps to the entrance and we hopped onto the slow-moving wheel without it even stopping. Soon we were out of the housing and getting great views of Singapore and beyond. Het, we could even see Malaysia and Indonesia -- a tri-nation view! We got great looks at the skyline and harbor as the sun dropped behind the tall buildings. We got a great perspective on the ongoing construction of the world's largest casino complex and on Singapore's floating soccer field. Additionally, we could see an unending line of ships at anchor, waiting for their turn to enter busy Singapore Harbor. All in all, the ride took just a hair over 30 minutes and regaled us the entire time, all for about $20.
If we had wanted to splurge, for $199 we could have gotten a tube that came with a full-service dinner on nice linens and fine china, with champagne. In fact, n the tube behind us, we could see two young girls were being filmed doing just that. Since we envisioned that the dinner would be an occassion for romance and dinner, and the girls were rather shoddily-dressed, we were trying to come up with scenarios for what was going on. Was it a reality TV show? It turns out we were close -- a Hong Kong Travel show was filming its Singapore adventure
