Hi all, any updates so far?

The Carousel looks more like the UBR Lanterns of Legendary Legends in Kung Foo Panda.

Key Highlights

• A world’s first original ride exclusive to Universal Studios Singapore (Evidently from the pic, its some sort of swing chair ride)

We've known about this for a while. However we're likely to not get any more news about this till around the time Minion Land is close to completion.

I just watched a video on Super Nintendo in Orlando and it mentioned that Universal announced and is going to build a Super Nintendo in Singapore. What do you think about this?

I'm sure the crane falling over hasn't helped at all...

Any updates on the construction? It's been quiet..

Construction on Minion Land started today.

Minion Land, Universal Studios Singapore’s latest offering slated to open in 2024, broke ground today at a ceremony graced by Minister of State for Trade & Industry, and Culture, Community and Youth, Mr Alvin Tan. The mischievous Minions joined in the celebration with their team of builders. Their dance performances, along with dramatic effects at the event, provided fun and entertainment to more than 120 guests from Singapore’s tourism sector who partook in the start of a new and exciting chapter for Universal Studios Singapore. The celebratory occasion signaled Resorts World Sentosa’s commitment to work with industry partners to prepare for the revival of travel to Singapore. Construction is now underway to bring the wonderful world of Illumination’s Minions to life.

As one of the key components of Resorts World Sentosa’s (RWS) expansion plan RWS 2.0, Minion Land will strengthen Universal Studios Singapore’s offerings and is anticipated to be a popular draw for both local visitors and overseas tourists. With Universal Studios Singapore consistently rated as one of Singapore’s top attractions, Minion Land is set to lead Singapore’s post-pandemic tourism recovery when it opens.
