Tiger Sky Tower attraction has not resumed operations
The Tiger Sky Tower will still be closed to visitors on Sunday, said the attraction's operator.
Operations at the Sky Tower were suspended on Friday afternoon following a mechanical fault.
As a result, 36 people were stuck for about 2.5 hours in a gondola of Tiger Sky Tower on Sentosa's Imbiah Lookout.
Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team personnel were deployed to the gondola to assure the affected visitors while another team was deployed to assist the engineers in lowering the gondola to ground level.
All of them were safely brought down.
Anthony Vai, supervisor, Sentosa Attractions, said: “We had to send the cabin all the way to the tower's highest point where there is a platform which we were then able to reach by climbing the stairs within the tower's column. Once on the platform, we then used the ladder to climb to the cabin and check on the trapped visitors."
