Episode Synopsis

This theme park is part of the impressive Resorts World Sentosa leisure destination since 2011. The Singaporean location finds itself amidst an impressive offering of attractions in a wealthy region. Still it is rarely cited to be at the top of the lists regarding theme parks. Why is that exactly?
The cinematic worlds of Universal Studios are often brought to life through themed lands around a lake. Also Singapore follows this blueprint, but this time with much less space to work with. Has Universal’s storytelling magic and quality managed to adapt to the Southeast Asian context? Do its familiar experiences raise the bar or is it much of the same in a different location?
There are many reasons why this park feels different on the palet of Universal parks and it is not only the size that plays a key role in that. In this episode, introduced in collaboration with the dutch Upper Lot Podcast by Nicky and Dennis, we dive into the park’s origins and development, explore its unique atmosphere and analyse what’s on offer today. We are critical, but aim to give a balanced image to decide if it’s worth the trip.
