S’pore’s Universal Studios to raise admission fees

Universal Studios theme park in Singapore will increase its one-day admission ticket prices by $2 with effect from 19 November.

Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), which manages the park, made the announcement on its Facebook page on Tuesday morning.

While it noted that the three percent price increase will be applicable to both adult and child categories, there will be no change in ticket prices for senior citizens or the two-day admission pass.

Currently, a one-day admission pass costs $66 for adults and $48 for children while during peak periods, the fare rises up to $72 and $52 for adults and children respectively.

Explaining the move, RWS’s assistant director communications Robin Goh told Yahoo! Singapore, “This is to cater to increased visitorship for the movie theme park, and Resorts World Sentosa will continue to react to market demand for its attractions, including Universal Studios Singapore.”

He added that this is also the first time a price adjustment has been made since the park opened on 18 March last year.

Goh also said that the park will continue to add new attractions to ensure that the admission fee is worth paying for. These include the recently opened Madagascar ride.

RWS also announced last month that it will open the highly anticipated Transformers theme park ride to the public on 3 December.

Director and executive producer of the Transformers blockbuster franchise Michael Bay will grace the exclusive gala premiere of the attraction a day before the public opening.
