Universal Studios Singapore Going from High to Very Low in Just Two Month

IMO by Bigbearsg

Universal Studios in Singapore opening day people were jumping on the bandwagon of the new Park. But in just three month from the soft opening to now USS have gone from High to low.

Two month ago USS closed down Battlestar Dueling Coaster do to safety issues. To this date we do not know why. All we get from USS and Resorts World Sentosa is "The company was still investigating the cause and solution to the problem." Merrill Lynch reports in a issue last week on Genting Singapore, the parent company of Resorts World Sentosa and Universal Studios Singapore, said it expects the ride to recommence only next year.

So what are we getting for are money. No BDC. Jurrasic Park Ride is down most every day do to problem with the ride. Revenge of the Mummy Ride is working most every day but has been shut down for problem on the ride.

So going to USS is like going to RWS Casino, you pay your money and bet that all the rides are running if not the House wins your money and you get what they give you.

RSW and USS are like Jack Nicolson in A Few Good Men "The Truth you can't handle the Truth". RSW and USS are not saying a word they don't want to make people mad if they told us what is going on. The People who have paid good money for the Annual Pass are now getting to the point where, what they thought was a good buy are now feeling ripped off by USS. People who are buying same day ticket are not getting what they paid for and feel like it wasn't what was advertised.

It's time for USS and RWS to step up and make this right with the AP holder. It's time for USS and RWS to tell us what's going on with Battlestar Dueling Coaster, when will Madagascar Crate Adventure going to be open,when will Jurassic Park Ride by fixed, so that we know when we go it working.

I want USS to be the best Universal Park there is. Stop with the hiding and tell people the truth we can handle it. We are with you all the way but we want to know what's going on.

Today June 8th Resorts World Sentosa post this on their face book page, "we have no date when BSG will resume, and all dates reported are not substantiated. At this point in time, we are working with the experts and manufacturer on the report and recovery schedule. We want to be absolutely certain on findings and conclusions before we release any date so please bear with us. Safety is our top priority and we will open the ride only when the ride has cleared all safety tests and checks. We seek your patience."

So which is it,Genting gave bad information to Merrill Lynch (Bank of America) or is Resort World not giving us the right information?

Not bad got Transformers and Madagascar next year. Hold on for the AP passes.

Update on Battlestar, Madagascar and Information for Annual Pass Holders
from Sentosa Theme Park by Sentosa Theme Park
I just received a call from the PR Dept at Resorts World Sentosa and this is what I was told.

Madagascar: A Crate Adventure could be on line by September or as late as Dec of this year.

Battlestar Galaxica Dueling Coaster: The have found the problem and have fixed it. But by fixing the problem has caused other problem they have to fix in the design of the ride. It could be up and running again in Sept or as late has Dec. of this year.

For Annual Pass Holder: RWS is work on a package for us as a way to make up for the rides being down. They will announce it as soon as all the information is put togeather. They will be informing AP holder as soon as they can by e-mail (I hope they can read my writing LOL).

The Information from Merrill Lynch (BOA) was a miss print by ML they mixed up the Opening of the Transformer ride with Battlestar. It's Transformers that will open next year not Battlestar.

So this is the update from RWS

This sort of event is not designed to be run by useless sinkies who only follow rules and without using brains.

Look at usa universal studio, so class and famous because it is run by real first world, unsinkified humans.

With so many key rides not functioning, the price of day-pass still remain unchanged ?

Daylight robbery or just plain cheating ?

This is Singapore!

You get fukc service at the restaurant and still have to pay 10% service charge
You get jam on the CTE and still have to pay COE / ERP
You get a gov that open leg and get FT in to snatch your job and still pay them world class salary

How Stupid can one be?

10% service charge to pay for bad service. LOL
COE/ERP to reduce congestion but it is congested almost everday. LOL
MRT, fares keep on increasing but the frequency of mrt arriving does not increase. LOL
open leg big big, pay ppl money to fuck you. LOL

Heard from my Ba Kut Teh store this USS was never meant to be opened on time.

Luckily NO ACCIDENTS happened when live guinea pigs were on the rides in the first 2 weeks.

Go and really ask around from people in the know or employees, or people involved in construction of USS and you will be SHOCKED by what you will hear.

WHAT TO DO.
SCUMS DEMAND OPEN ON TIME SO MUST LAH.

Same as MBS and see what happened. Failure after failure after failure. And they can find and blame a SCAPEGOAT some more.

I suspect it is due to the material used in the construction of the rails, many suppliers I know undercut on the actual strength of the steel when they supplied the material the building of USS.

High possibility.

The reason why nothing is being done points to huge monetary dispute on who should be responsible and foot the bill, if it is a small issue, I'm sure they will will to quickly resolve it and re-open the ride.

The problem can be so big, that it may involve tearing down the whole structure, when safety is involve, PE will not sign off on it even under pressure from owner or gov.

The fact that every one kept silent and we don't see any repair work done on the ride for months after shut down, it only shows that it is not normal shit but big shit.
