Universal Studios Singapore is a new theme park located within Resorts World on Sentosa Island, Singapore. It was a key component of Genting’s bid for the right to build Singapore’s second integrated resort. It will be opening in early 2010.
The park map was released on 20 October 2009.
Occupying 20 hectares, there will be a total of 24 attractions in the park and 18 of them will either be original or specially designed for the new park. The park is reported to be a “one-of-its-kind theme park in Asia” as Universal Studios Singapore has promised that this will be the only park it would have in Southeast Asia for the next 30 years.
Universal Studios Singapore theme park will include seven themed zones that encircle a lagoon and feature iconic blockbuster locations, as well as new attractions based on movies like Madagascar, Jurassic Park, The Mummy and WaterWorld. There will also be live entertainment shows and educational features where visitors can learn more about computer-generated animation and the art of making a hit movie. The park also includes an extensive menu of 30 restaurants and food carts, as well as 20 retail stores and carts.
Universal Studios Singapore will also be home to the world’s biggest single collection of DreamWorks Animation theme park attractions.

Help King Julien defeat his nemesis – the dreaded Foosa – at the rim of a bubbling volcanic cauldron and after surviving the ordeal, get spun around in a crazy carousel by King Julien and the Lemurs as they throw a festive beach party and “move it, move it” at King Julien’s Beach Party-Go-Round™. Chill with some tasty bites at Gloria’s Snack Shack™ or tuck into specialties and cool drinks at Casa Del Wild™, a café hosted by Marty the Zebra.

Step into the center of the entertainment universe where Broadway-style theater (modeled after the famous Hollywood Pantages Theater) and an eye-catching collection of eateries and shops line its streets.
Mel’s Drive-In™, from the hit movie American Graffiti, serves up burgers and cokes the old-fashioned way. Framed by dynamic architecture, palm trees and the famous Walk of Fame, guests will feel as if they have landed themselves at Hollywood Boulevard.
5. New York
Feel the spirit and energy of America’s biggest and grandest city “New York” in Universal Studios Singapore as you stroll the sidewalks of the bold and romantic Big Apple that appears in all great movies.
This is where all the classic landmarks of NYC prevail —the city skylines, neon lights, and facades that set the scenes for big city fun and real-time movie production.
LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!™, a special effects stage hosted by Steven Spielberg brings you behind the scenes of intriguing movie sets and Stage 28 offers a chance to be part of real-time move production. Sit down for a meal at the full service KT’s Grill or grab a slice of NY’s best pizza at Loui’s NY Pizza Parlour™.

The city of the future – Sci-Fi City has arrived. Through the impressive portals into Sci-Fi City and into a futuristic metropolis filled with the most modern conveniences, remnants of past inhabitants and cultures, as well as visitors from around the world and other planetariums, this is where the future lies.
The entire Sci-Fi city is set atop and powered endlessly by an enormous energyproducing substructure that appears to draw its necessities from the wind, sun and water sources above. Catch glimpses of the subterranean world as you get tossed into the tumultuous battle of Humans versus Cylons on the Battlestar Galactica™ dueling coasters, the tallest of its kind in the world.
7. Ancient Egypt™
You can get a feel of ancient Egypt at Universal Studios Singapore. Ancient pyramids and obelisks stand fast against the sands of time as you are transported to 1930’s Egypt, the Golden Age of Egyptian Exploration.
Travel to an era when entire Pharaoh’s tombs were discovered—and their terrible curses unleashed. Take the path of a daring archeologist as you unravel the cryptic riddles of the Sphinx in this sand-swept land. Whether you’re quenching your thirst or charming a snake at the Oasis Spice Café, shopping for Egyptian treasures at Carter’s Curiosities, or experiencing the Revenge of the Mummy™ attraction, this is an expedition for the brave at heart.
