Universal Studios Singapore is a theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa
on Sentosa Island, Singapore. It was a key component of Genting's bid for the right
to build Singapore's second integrated resort.

On 8 December 2006, the Singapore government announced that the consortium

had won the bid. Construction of the theme park and the rest of the resort started
on 19 April 2007. It is the second Universal Studios theme park to open in Asia
(Japan being the first), and the first in Southeast Asia. The official plans for the
park were unveiled to the public when Universal Studios Singapore released a park
map to the public on 20 October 2009. Universal Studios Singapore has since
attracted more than 2 million visitors in the 9 months from its opening. Universal
Parks & Resorts markets the park as a "one-of-its-kind theme park in Asia" and
promises that the park will be the only one of its kind in Southeast Asia for the next
30 years.

The construction of Resorts World Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore began
on 19 April 2008. After almost two years of construction, the park opened on 18
March 2010. Universal Studios Singapore was opened for sneak peek week in view
of the Chinese New Year Celebrations, from 5 pm to 9 pm every night between 14
and 21 February 2010. Though visitors had to pay SGD$10 to enter the park even-
though rides were not operating, tickets for the week were sold out in 2 days. On 5
March 2010, it was announced that the park will open its doors at 8:28 am
(UTC+8) on 18 March 2010, for a soft-opening phase. From 13 March 2010, the
team members of Resorts World Sentosa and their families had a chance to visit the
park before the public has a chance to do so. The park had its soft opening period
from 18 March 2010 to 26 October 2010.

The official grand opening of the park was held on 28 May 2011, along with the
grand opening gala being held on 27 May 2011 evening. It was a star-studded
event with Asian superstars Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Zhao Wei, and former
"American Idol" judge Paula Abdul making an appearance at the gala event, along
with some 1,600 guests. In October 2011, Universal Studios Singapore began their
Halloween Horror Nights events.

Consisting of 24 shows, rides and attractions, 25 stores

and restaurants, Universal Studios Singapore was
designed and built in less than three years, opening to
rave reviews from theme-park insiders.
The theme park is a key part of Genting’s US $4.4
billion “integrated resort” on Singapore’s Sentosa
Island.

Resorts World Sentosa Master Plan  Sentosa,

Singapore
A Family-Friendly Integrated Resort
We planned Resorts World Sentosa for a developer entering Singapore’s
worldwide competition for a gaming license based on creating a widely
appealing resort on the vacation island of Sentosa. With the casino, 2
theme parks, 6 hotels, maritime museum, theaters, conference center,
shopping, and restaurants, we created many leisure experiences at one
destination to keep visitors returning again and again.

Converging Tropical Landscape and Architecture

Well-defined open spaces and pedestrian and water routes organize the
site and create myriad outdoor experiences for the visitor, from dramatic
views of the colossal Merlion statue to the heritage forest or the
waterfront. The resort’s character derives from the landscape, use of
water, and forms, warm natural materials and details associated with
tropical architecture.

A Comfortable Outdoor Experience

The casino, a multimodal transportation hub and back-of-house service

centers extend 3 levels and 45 feet below sea level, allowing visitors to
have an unencumbered pedestrian experience within the resort. EFTE
canopies and eco-coolers using air conditioning condensate keep visitors
comfortable in the hot, humid and rainy climate and contribute to the
indoor-outdoor atmosphere of the resort.
