I QUEUED up on Friday to get tickets for the eight-day sneak-peek period for the Universal Studios theme park at Resorts World Sentosa.

I am very disappointed that as a Singaporean I am unable to even get a sneak preview of what is supposed to be a proud achievement for Singapore.

Once the theme park is opened with all the rides fully functional, there will be thousands of visitors.

This is only going to add to the frustration of Singaporeans.

I hope RWS will extend the preview period exclusively for Singaporeans and even allow limited rides to be functional before the official opening. This would be useful for the operators as they can gather feedback from the public and fine tune some aspects of the park before they open its doors to the world.

PHOTO: "My Second Home - Lion City" a Singapore Travel Page by dennisKL
This small little island being my second home....spend about 90% of my childhood in Singapore. I was there not because of my study but just for my family gathering as my uncles are all from this small little town. I get a free accomodation actually :=). All most the whole island having my foot print.
But sometimes is a bit hard to recall the memories...
Singapore is known by many different names, all with a certain fondness to their titles, such as “Surprising Singapore”, "Garden City", “Golden City” and even "Instant Asia." All these descriptions fit and anyone who visits will soon agree. With its truly international atmosphere, all in just under 618 square km it has all the attractions a visitor could wish to find.
I'm going to this small island again soon...
