Where Dan & Jordan are at is the Singapore Flyer, second largest and longest Ferris Wheel in the world. If Jordan is the one I see (can't tell them really apart), he's going to be doing major peeing in his pants.

Ha. Game over! That was fast. Note the fencing.
No idea what there is to do at Istana Park though. Erm... See the President?

It's still along Orchard Road, it's bounded by Orchard Road, Penang Road, Penang Lane, Buyong Road. They just passed by it, I've no idea what they might be doing there (they're in a taxi)

Redskooky, this shot is taken from inside Istana Park.
The Singapore Flyer is still the largest in the world, I think. Although Singaporeans will definitely have a snicker when they see people climbing outside the Flyer... Remember this? (Inside joke...)

This looks interesting...
--- Quote ---The centrepiece of the park is the 26 metre high Festival Arch rising out of a shallow reflecting pool. The design of the stainless steel and concrete structure was inspired by the gateposts and railings at the Istana's entrance. The Festival Arch forms the gateway to Singapore's Civic District, the cultural and historic heart of the city. The arch enhances the visual link across Orchard Road.
The park has a large shallow reflecting pool, the first of its kind in Singapore. Coconut palms at the adjoining Palm Pools reinforces the impression of the Istana Park as a tropical oasis in the heart of Orchard Road.
Fronting the main gate of the Istana, the park provides a vantage point for visitors keen to view the monthly changing of guards’ ceremony at the Istana entrance. In the evenings, the park is transformed into an "oasis of light". The park is one of the venues identified for enhanced lighting under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) lighting master plan.
Musical and cultural performances at the Istana Park are featured on the first Sunday of every month.
There is a restaurant called Giraffe Restaurant at Istana Park which is available to all for dining. Everyone can also participate/join in the concerts and performances held.
