Location: 41 Imbiah Road, Singapore 099707.
Situated at Imbiah Lookout, the SkyHelix Sentosa is a short walk from the cable car station. This spot will also be the first carbon-neutral attraction in Sentosa. It will draw power from three electrical winches managed on the ground.
There has been a special emphasis to conserve energy. In fact, the 40-metre structure uses minimal electricity. The organisers use environmentally friendly packages for the food and beverages as well.
Mount Faber Leisure Group had said that the carbon footprint for one year of operations will amount to a flight from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. This is despite serving about 100,000 guests per year.
