Universal Studios Singapore has announced that
it will celebrate its Grand Opening on Saturday, 28 May 2011.
The activities launch with a movie-themed Grand
Opening ceremony at the signature 21-metre tall arch entrance of
Universal Studios Singapore. An action-packed stunt show will aim
to thrill the crowd and set the stage for a grand procession of
the park’s biggest resident stars - Marilyn Monroe, Charlie
Chaplin, Betty Boop, Woody Woodpecker, The Scorpion King, Shrek,
Princess Fiona and the heroes from Madagascar – with many more
surprises and happenings yet to be announced.
Universal Studios Singapore welcomed more than
two million guests in its nine months of soft opening in 2010, and
has already hosted hundreds of thousands more so far this year, as
the rides, shows, guest experiences and daily park operations have
been honed and readied for this official Grand Opening day.
21 rides and shows are featured within Universal
Studios Singapore showcasing world-popular themes such as Jurassic
Park Rapids Adventure, Shrek 4-D Adventure, Revenge of the Mummy,
and Battlestar Galactica. And the action and entertainment
opportunities for USS guests continue to grow with the
soon-to-be-announced premiere of the world’s first
Madagascar-themed ride, Madagascar: A Crate Adventure. Yet
another blockbuster ride is scheduled for later this year, the
much-anticipated Transformers attraction, based on the popular
box-office-hit movie series.
Universal Studios Singapore is located within
one of Singapore’s first integrated resorts, Resorts World
Sentosa. Lodging is only steps away, with four hotels (and two
more coming soon), each with a uniquely different theme. Also
available for guest enjoyment is FestiveWalk, the perfect venue
for dining and shopping while experiencing the Asian debut of some
of the world’s top brands.
Mr Dennis Gilbert, RWS’ Senior Vice President of
Attractions, said, “The Grand Opening celebrations will bring to
Singapore a slice of the Hollywood glitz and action, in the same
way that Universal Studios Singapore brought Universal’s famous
Ride The Movies experience here. On the Grand Opening day, the
park will be exuberant with energy, setting the stage for many
more exciting times to come in the future.”
