The Universal Studios Singapore was officially opened on March 18.
Chinese superstition, 8 means prosperity. Hence, opened on March 18, officiated at 8.08am, and grand entrance at 8.28am…
AFAIK it’s the first globally known theme park in Southeast Asia, so there’s plenty of hype about that. Unfortunately Singapore is also the most expensive place in this region; and the ticket is not exactly cheap even in Singaporean standard – SGD72 or about USD50 per adult per day on weekend.
The Singapore Flyer, the world’s largest observation wheel, was officially opened on yesterday (April 15) by Singapore’s Prime Minister Lee Hsien Long.
Located at Marina Bay, the Singapore Flyer comprises a 150-metre-diameter wheel and a total height of 165 metres (equivalent to ~ 42 stories high), which is about 30m taller than the famous London Eye and 5m taller than the previous record holder, The Star of Nanchang in Jiangxi, China.
