Wie das Singapore Tourism Board Offiziell bekannt machte, wird es nun die 2. Asiatischen Universal Studios (nach Osaka, Japan) geben.
Es werden nach Orlando die 2. größten Studios werden und wohl eine sehr interessante Mischung aus den normalen Studios und den Islands of Adventure!
Das Gelände befindet sich in zentraler Hafenlage (genauer gesagt ist es eine Insel im Hafen von Singapore: Sentosa Island, die Insel ist aktuell eher ein großer Park mit kleinen Fahrattraktionen und ein beliebtes Nahrerholungsgebiet für die Einheimischen) und wird neben den Universal Studios, Ein Sea Aquarium, Museen, einen Shopping District, Casinos und mehr als 8 Hotels erhalten!
Fertigstellung ist bis 2010 geplant.
