Universal Studios is meant to attract tourists to boost the Singapore economy. When tourists visit Universal Studios, they spend money and contribute to the economy ie. there in influx of foreign funds. When Singaporeans visit Universal Studios, they are spending their own money, leaving less money for their healthcare and retirement. The government does not like to see Singaporeans depleting their retirement savings.
However, it is a different matter altogether if you are in the upper income group of Singaporeans.
it is so dumb. We have to pay to go in and we are singaporeans.
The names given to the buildings were totally lacking in elegance or grace. The interiors look like something you get from your back-yard contractors to come out with the cheapest quotes. The decors are so out-of-whack! It just look so ridicously uncoordinated. Judging from the amount of attractions in a tightly squeezed site would certainly turn off would-be-visitors. What works in Genting Highland will not necessary work here. It will be a BIG FLOP from the start. I seriously wonder who are they trying to attract?
hahaha let the stupid foreigner spend their money in singapore:) for us, we not so interested.. everywhere in the world got hotel in a island also.. so whats the big fuss about sentosa IR?
and for universal studio, i rather go see amazing japan and their culture and spectacular sight while going to universal studio osaka.
don't tell me i come to singapore (which has nothing to see, except so called clean city which is not so clean.. simply because government hired a lot of CHEAP labour from india, china and bangladesh to sweep the floor) JUST to visit universal STUDIO?
maybe transit in singapore to australia or europe just to see one day in singapore is ok.. (which most of the foreigners do, because air craft have to refuel in singapore ) :)
Is there really a need to visit the theme park? No...... theme park has never been cheap because of the high cost to set-up, operate, maintain and payment of salaries to the staff. Of course, we can go to the cheaper and very small ones set up all over Singapore and even then, they are not really cheap if you are talking about the short minute rides.
Sometimes, we forget that there are many ways of having enjoyable activities that are either cheap or free if we think harder. During my time, our parents did not give us pocket money and we had to create activities for ourselves. Nowadays, going to the beach, Pulau Ubin, Farm Way, watching the monkeys at Seletar etc. are also great way of having fun with loved ones.
