Universal Studios Singapore[a] (abbreviation: USS) is a theme park located within the Resorts World Sentosa integrated resort at Sentosa in Singapore. It features 24 rides, shows, and attractions in seven themed zones. It is one of the five Universal Studios theme parks around the world.

It was a key component of the Genting Singapore's bid for the right to build Singapore's second integrated resort (IR). On 8 December 2006, the Singapore government announced that the consortium had won the bid. Construction of the theme park and the rest of the resort started on 19 April 2007. It is the second Universal Studios theme park in Asia, the other being Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, and the first in Southeast Asia. Official plans for the park were first unveiled to the public when Universal Studios Singapore released a map of the entire park on 20 October 2009.[1] Universal Studios Singapore attracted more than 2 million visitors in the 9 months from its opening.[2]

The park officially began operations on 28 May 2011. Over 3 million guests visited the park in its opening year. Since then, Universal Studios Singapore has had approximately 4 million visitors every year. Visitors are made up of local Singaporeans and international tourists. It has been marketed by Universal Destinations & Experiences as a "one-of-its-kind theme park in Asia" and that the park was the only one of its kind in Southeast Asia for the foreseeable future.[3] According to the AECOM Theme Index Global Attraction Attendance Report, Universal Studios Singapore is one of the top visited amusement/theme parks worldwide.[4]

Theme and operations

Universal Studios Singapore immerses visitors in a Hollywood-inspired world, transporting guests into cinematic universes through seven themed zones that draw from iconic film genres and franchises.

History

Planning and construction

In December 2006, the Singapore government awarded (now ) the bid to develop the second integrated resort on Island, which included plans for Southeast Asia's first Universal Studios theme park as a key family-oriented attraction. The partnership agreement with Universal Studios granted a 30-year exclusive license to operate the theme park in the region, emphasizing immersive movie-themed experiences to complement the resort's broader offerings. Planning for Universal Studios Singapore was led by , the in-house design and engineering division of , which conceptualized seven initial themed zones inspired by popular films: Hollywood, , Sci-Fi City, , The Lost World, Far Far Away, and . As part of the Sentosa development, environmental impact assessments were conducted to evaluate the effects of , focusing on marine ecosystems, water quality, and coral relocation to minimize ecological disruption during the expansion of the island's footprint. Construction of the theme park broke ground on April 19, 2008, following the initial resort reclamation and works that began in 2007. The project's budget increased from an initial S$5.2 billion to approximately S$6 billion due to higher construction costs. The 2008 global financial crisis contributed to delays through disruptions, though major , such as fabrication and bridge expansions, was completed by mid-2009, paving the way for ride installations and testing. Challenges during the build-out included labor constraints in Singapore's sector, where quotas and regulations added complexity to workforce management for the fast-tracked timeline. Additionally, integrating the family-focused theme park with the resort's required careful navigation of Singapore's strict laws, enacted in to legalize only within non-gaming-dominated integrated resorts to curb social harms like . Soft opening tests commenced in early 2010, allowing for operational refinements ahead of the public debut.

Opening and expansions

Universal Studios Singapore soft-opened to the public on March 18, 2010, marking the debut of Southeast Asia's first Universal theme park with an initial lineup of 18 out of its planned 24 rides, shows, and attractions. The park's grand opening ceremony occurred on May 28, 2011, featuring a star-studded event attended by international celebrities including action star Jet Li, singer , actress , and Vicki Zhao Wei, who participated in a Hollywood-style procession and stunt show. This official launch highlighted the park's seven themed zones and established it as a key component of the integrated resort. In the years following the grand opening, the park pursued early enhancements to boost capacity and guest experience, including the debut of Transformers The Ride-3D in December 2011 as a major addition to the Sci-Fi City zone, and the introduction of in late 2012, expanding family-oriented offerings in Far Far Away. , the park's dueling roller coasters, underwent significant upgrades starting in 2014, with new over-the-shoulder restraint vehicles unveiled to improve safety and ride comfort after periods of downtime; the coasters reopened on May 27, 2015, following these modifications. Mid-decade renovations focused on Sci-Fi City, where maintenance and thematic refreshes were implemented around Battlestar Galactica in early 2015, including cleaning, repainting, and structural enhancements to address wear from high usage and prior operational challenges. These updates ensured the zone's futuristic aesthetic remained immersive while enhancing reliability for the dueling coasters and adjacent attractions like Accelerator.

In November 2023, the stunt show experienced a mechanical-related performer injury during a live performance. A performer was thrown from a platform and landed awkwardly in the shallow end of the water, prompting an immediate evacuation of the audience and halting the show mid-performance. The incident was described as causing "minor discomfort," but the performer required medical attention, leading to a temporary closure of the show for safety investigations and protocol adjustments. In response to these and prior incidents, Universal Studios Singapore, operated by , implemented stricter maintenance and review protocols, including regular technical audits and compliance with enhanced safety standards mandated by local authorities. These measures emphasize rigorous pre-operational testing and ongoing monitoring to prevent future malfunctions.

Guest and operational incidents

Universal Studios Singapore has experienced several incidents involving guests, including altercations over queue etiquette. In October 2024, during Halloween Horror Nights, a man reported being punched by three individuals attempting to cut the line for an attraction, prompting a police investigation by the Singapore Police Force. Similarly, in August 2025, a verbal dispute escalated into a scuffle between a Singaporean family and a group of Chinese tourists in a ride queue, with exchanges involving vulgarities and accusations of queue-cutting, such as one participant retorting, "If there's no China, there won't be Singapore." These events highlight tensions arising from cultural differences and overcrowding, though no serious injuries were reported in either case. On November 13, 2025, an Australian man was charged with after rushing the stage and grabbing a during the 'Wicked: ' at the park, leading to his without injuries to others. Staff-related incidents have also occurred, underscoring operational challenges. In 2016, John Denley Nelson, a 30-year-old American stuntman employed at the park, died from head injuries sustained during an off-duty brawl outside a bar on 2015; he had intervened in a fight and was punched, leading to his fall and hospitalization. Three individuals were later charged with , and the case resulted in jail terms and for the perpetrators in 2017. Operational disruptions have necessitated guest evacuations on multiple occasions. In April 2016, riders on the Battlestar Galactica roller coaster were safely rescued after a technical malfunction halted the ride mid-operation, leaving approximately 20 guests suspended for about 20 minutes; standard procedures ensured no injuries occurred during the evacuation. The park also faced a major operational shutdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, closing from April 7, 2020, to July 1, 2020, as part of Singapore's broader restrictions on non-essential venues, affecting thousands of visitors and requiring enhanced safety protocols upon reopening. In 2025, minor operational disruptions included the seasonal closure of the Universal Star Power Parade starting August 11, which continued until January 2026, leading to adjusted show schedules but no reported major injuries or safety concerns. The park maintains a zero-tolerance policy for violence and disruptive behavior, with incidents routinely reported to authorities and the for investigation and enforcement.
