Another delay at Universal Studios Singapore for Minion Park and Super Nintendo World. No word on how long the delay will be other than it now being after 2025, which was their original target.

Giving an update on the IRs in Parliament on Monday (Jan 10), he noted that Marina Bay Sands (MBS) and Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) had indicated that there will be potential delays in the completion of their expansion plans due to the pandemic disrupting the construction industry. "This is not altogether surprising nor unique to this project or this industry. Covid-19 has affected construction timelines, both locally and globally," he said, adding that the IRs remain committed to their expansion plans.

The plans include adding a fourth tower to the iconic MBS development and a 1,500-seat entertainment area. RWS will add two new zones to Universal Studios Singapore - Minion Park and Super Nintendo World - as well as a new oceanarium.

RWS' owner Genting Singapore said the timeline of its project - which it initially projected to be completed around 2025 - would be impacted due to the pandemic.

Both IRs did not say how long its plans would be delayed for.

That really depends, I went to Universal on Saturday and everything was running normally, I doubt we’ll get news anytime soon but let’s see

Today’s Super Nintendo World - Nintendo Direct confirmed that Universal Studios Singapore is still getting its own Ninendo expansion.

I think its due to Covid-19 they put the expansion on hold. I went to USS 3 times this month (4, 6 & 7 Sep) and Madagascar was still operating like nothing happened.

Is this project going to start construction anytime soon?

Apparently Minion Park was supposed to open in 2021, while Super Nintendo World is supposed to open in 2025, but no construction work has started at all so I am worried if this project will be cancelled.
