Although, if that isn’t exciting enough – it is very exciting, just ask your kids – then climb aboard the cable-car for real thrills. Each cabin interior has been redesigned with a Pokémon theme so, from now until September, you can ride along in the company of classic Pikachu and new starter Pokémon, like Sprigatito and Quaxly. Expect something fresh on every journey, you won’t be disappointed. And don’t forget to look out for the new, colourful light installations at Mount Faber, Harbourfront and Sentosa Stations.
