Resorts World at Sentosa,
The Best Family Holiday Destination in Singapore
Resorts World at Sentosa which was designed by a renowned US architect, Michael Grave and developed by the Genting International - Star Cruises Consortium will be opened by early 2010. It’s something “worth to wait for” I guessed.
When you go to
Sentosa Island
, you’ll see the making of the best family holiday destination in Singapore.
Even though it’s not much to see yet except the sign boards and busy construction site, you know what will be coming soon...
There will be four world-class gated attractions at Resorts World at Sentosa offering the best of dry and wet venues developed by a global brand-name:
- Quest Marine Life Park - the world’s largest oceanarium is designed and operated by the world’s leading marine encounter company, Dolphin Quest.
Here, you’ll have once-in-a-lifetime experiences:
- Hand-feed tiger sharks from an enclosed cage;
- Interact up close and personal with dolphins; and
- Swim among sea horses, clown fish and giant groupers in one of the longest reef swim encounters in the world.
Total about 700,000 aquatic animals, including bat rays, dolphins and the world’s largest collection of coral reef and open ocean fish will be available for viewing.
- Equarius Water Park – designed by Forrec Limited of Canada provides the latest water theme park technology with exciting water rides nestled under the natural canopy of Sentosa’s original forest.
Equarius Water Park features:
- ‘Water Coaster’, a 450-m water flume that winds through tree tops and jungle;
- ‘Snakes and Ladders’, where water flows upwards;
- A surf pool that offers a variety of wave types to satisfy both wannabe and serious surfers; and
- A water-based adventure zone coined ‘The Cliffs’ that is specially designed to challenge any adrenalin-pumped teenager.
- Maritime Xperiential Museum - Created by the world famous museum designers, Ralph Appelbaum Associates will be the only museum in the world dedicated to the celebration of the maritime heritage of Asia.
It will engage your five senses to retell the fascinating history of the Asian Maritime Silk Route.
One of the centerpieces of the Maritime Xperiential Museum will be its unique theatre, a 360-degree multimedia experience where visitors board an Arabia-bound vessel that sank near Singapore 1,100 years ago.
The deck will roll, pitch, rotate and eventually submerge underwater where visitors see and walk around the actual wreck surrounded by deep water fish and scuba divers.
The museum will also feature Asia’s first marine genomics research and learning centre, which will be set up by Dr J. Craig Venter, a pioneer and leading expert in the field of genomics.
- Universal Studios Singapore - the region’s first Universal Studios theme park, which will include DreamWorks Digital Animation Studios.
With 24 attractions and 22 rides, Universal Studio Singapore ranks among the largest theme parks in the world.
Its pair of roller coasters, one seated and one suspended — against one another in aerial combat with a high-speed launch and heart pumping near-misses will make it the first of its kind in this region where friends and siblings can “compete” on separate coaster sand.
One coaster gives a more intense ride, concentrating on loops and rolls, while the other is just slightly more family friendly, with heart-stopping climbs and drops.
In addition, Resorts World at Sentosa will bring to Universal Studios Singapore an all-time favorite Universal Studios’ ride: E.T.: THE FLIGHT HOME.
Steven Spielberg's timeless classic is brought to life in a fantasy attraction that captures the charm of childhood and the thrill of flying on an intimate scale that's sure to delight grandkids and grandparents alike. It will give you a memorable family holiday in Singapore.
A “dark ride”, E.T.: The Flight Home brings that fantasy of flying to visitors, who will escort the Extra-Terrestrial back to his home planet.
