Universal Studios S'pore will be one of world's best

by Chen Jingting

MISTER Stefan Zwanzger has one of the most enviable pastimes in the world.

The German travels around the globe rating theme parks in different countries.

Calling himself "The Theme Park Guy", Mr Zwanzger was here recently to visit Universal Studios Singapore, which is still under construction on Sentosa and due to open next year.

How does it rate? He gave it full marks for being the "most amazing theme-park construction area for the time being".

Since October 2007, Mr Zwanzger has rated about 60 theme parks in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

He told my paper in a phone interview from the Philippines: "I think Singapore will have one of the best theme parks in the world next year. Universal Studios Singapore will be absolutely incredible and it will create a lot of theme-park addicts here."

For the 29-year-old, who had dreamt of having his own theme park since he was 10, visiting a theme park is like going to the movies.

He said that technological advancements have made it possible for rides to have "storytelling abilities".

"Now, rides do not just go up and down, left and right. Rides have climaxes - they can start and stop and accelerate again. There are so many possibilities nowadays."

His favourite parks so far are Universal Studios Japan and Disney Sea Japan because of their high-tech rides and well-designed layout.

Mr Zwanzger paid for his trips using what he earned from heading an affiliate marketing company for eight years before he embarked on "The Theme Park Guy" project, which he started because he was "absolutely passionate" about theme parks.

"Theme parks are like little villages of happiness. No cars, no traffic, no rush hours, no pickpockets - a big pedestrian zone, where everyone smiles and the whole diversity of human emotions is present."

The theme-park enthusiast would post his ratings and photographs of places he visited on his website. He has not received any complaint about his ratings, though he expects some to disagree with his reviews.

When asked what he thought makes him qualified to rate theme parks, Mr Zwanzger answered simply: "I love them.

"I don't see myself as a reviewer. A reviewer is someone who's very critical. I'm just a big fan who dares to tell people exactly what he thinks."

[po2wq]

unwittingly being manipulated by others 4 free ad still dunno ...

 

[besotted]

If it is staffed by PRC, Burmese and Pinoy, I am sure it will be a wonderful destination

If it is staffed by loser whining Singaporeans, no way it can succeed

Scene at shopping mall:

Shopper can't find item on shelf.

Local staff: All there, Have means have, don't have means don't have. (Chats with another local and complain complain)

Pinoy staff: Sorry sir, I'll see if we have any in stock. If there isn't would you like me to check with our branch in Bugis?

PRC staff: Sorry sir, we seem to have run out of stock., May I recommend you this instead?

Hope the government imports another 500,000 FT this year, dilute away all the useless ah gua Singaporean graduates

HOT???

In the making : Region’s coolest mega theme park

Local firms Etha Engineering Pte Ltd and PRIMA Research & Technologies Pte Ltd have joined hands with Resorts World at Sentosa (RWS) to up the island’s cool factor.

Singapore’s hot and humid climate will not deter visitors from enjoying outdoor rides at the upcoming Universal
Studios nor dining alfresco at the outdoor areas within the whopping 49-hectare RWS.


Everyone who visits RWS when it opens in early 2010 will enjoy a cool and dry climate, round-the-clock, all year round — all thanks to a solar-powered eco-cooling system designed to continually keep outdoor temperatures at a comfortable 25°C.

In addition to tapping solar power, the system leverages on evaporative technology to remove latent heat from the air, a secondary process to extract moisture from the damp and cool air, as well as a three-layer canopy to control the amount of sunlight entering outdoor areas.

Mr Michael Chin, RWS’ Executive Vice President of Projects, is pleased to partner dynamic local firms to make RWS the coolest leisure destination of its kind in Southeast Asia.

“We want our visitors to enjoy themselves in comfort,” he said.

“The eco-cooling system is the only such outdoor cooling
system in the world. No other theme park has such a device in place.”

PRIMA (front), Etha Engineering (middle) and RWS have
teamed up to develop a solar-powered eco-cooling system
that can keep visitors at Resorts World at Sentosa cool and
comfortable throughout their stay.



Going green also makes business sense, he pointed out. The system is expected to be 40% cheaper to operate and
maintain compared to using air-conditioners for all the outdoor areas.

This environmental industry collaboration is supported by SPRING Singapore’s Enviro-Tech Capability Development
Programme.

The system took six months to develop and is now undergoing testing.

To validate the test results, the companies turned to the Environmental and Water Technology Centre of Innovation
(EWT COI) at Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

Excited about the long term prospects of the eco-cooling system, Mr Chin said, “It’s a great breakthrough for Singapore. Once it is marketed, it can put Singapore on the world map. We would revolutionise the way outdoor
areas are cooled, and do it economically.”

sounds cool!

 

[singveld]

is it going to the way of crazy horses?

i think so.

my foreign friend like to visit singapore because of geylang and orchard towers. i dun think he will go to universal studios.

But then he's into real bodies, not make believe types:p

 

[cass888]

Nothing to do with bragging.

Singapore Universal Studios will be the best in the world as long as it
remains the newest.

I am sure the next one will be better than Singpoare. etc. etc.

PAP always brag and brag and brag...

Very fucking irritating...

I fail to see how it is the best when:

a. the weather is hot like fuck
b. the charges are yet unknown but I know it will be expensive like fuck.

I predict it will go down the way of Haw Par Villa and Tang Dynasty Village.

 

[cass888]

Have you ever been to Universal Studios? You go find a cheap one.

Want cheap, go to Wild wild wet lah.

my foreign friend like to visit singapore because of geylang and orchard towers. i dun think he will go to universal studios.

Once Sentosa IR is ready, Geylang and Orchard towers will close down - even the Pinoy and PRC mei mei also want a piece of action there. They are so excited and can't wait for it to be open.

May be these two places will be the playgounds of the Banglas and Ah Nehs and other foreign workers.

even if you want to go to make believe types, people want the real angmoh in USA, not the japanese/chinese on a wig in asia.

 

[Watchman]

Singapore well-known for Geylang all the world over !

People come for 60% Geylang and 10% others and 30% sleeping

Saw some PR news bit that park may have controlled environment to beat the humidity part.

Not that this will help on $$ charges. So you right on the button on 2nd part:p
