First Cylons, now Mummies

Another ride at Universal Studios Singapore shut down

Just one day after Universal Studios Singapore (USS) shut its main attraction, another ride was closed for "technical adjustments".

For 45 minutes yesterday morning, the Revenge Of The Mummies ride, a high-speed indoor roller-coaster ride, was closed to the public.

USS had shut down the Battlestar Galactica roller-coaster ride on Thursday indefinitely after a technical glitch was found during a pre-opening inspection.

Shin Min Daily News reported that several visitors to the theme park had wanted to take the Battlestar Galactica ride yesterday morning, but were re-directed by park stewards to the Revenge Of The Mummies ride.

But when they got there, the ride was also closed. It turned out that it had been closed at 10.40am.

The visitors were told that the ride was temporarily out of service due to safety concerns.

The park's main attraction remained closed yesterday.

Some visitors voiced their concerns over the safety of the rides.

A Singaporean marketing executive who gave her name only as Mrs Kang, 30, said: "I'd be quite scared to go on the roller-coaster rides. More checks should be done to make sure the whole place is safe."

[saratogas]

Shut down for safety concerns is better than News Headline write "1st Death in USS"...

 

[Leongsam]

I've been to theme parks all over the USA and I've never had to put up with this kind of shit!

What's wrong with Sinkiepoor? Can't it get ANYTHING right??

Shut down for safety concerns is better than News Headline write "1st Death in USS"...

but it is still a sign that they have not done enough safety tests for the rides...

but it is still a sign that they have not done enough safety tests for the rides...

there are doing the safety tests now; with the 1st few batches of visitors paying for it somemore.

 

[singveld]

yes they need to spend more time to test it before opening it's gate.
anyway it is a rip off.

 

[saratogas]

They are thrill rides if "too safe" why got thrill... (anytime can die type of feeling) Ha ha ha.

Sentosa is really damn haunted. Already got so much stories of possessions and sightings during our school camp in the 80s. We grew up hating that island. Even when rasa sentosa was built, one tour guide i know said the taiwanese tourists staying there heard marching sound from their rooms at night. they innocently said "your singapore army soldiers are so hardworking. even train in the middle of the night."
You would think that with more tourist in sentosa, the 人气 would drive the original occupants away. but looks like the good brothers are not going 'down' without putting on a fight.

The last big-time embarrassment was when the Flyer got jammed & our SCDF or Special Ops all dunno how to rescue ....

1. Tom Jones cannot sing.

2. PRC naked woman died.

3. Roller Coaster closed down indefinately.

4. Now the Revenge of the Mummies.

5. ? Let's guess:

Casino fire and killed 300 people.

Tram cars fall down and killed 15 tourists.

Three American guests in a holet room shouted
ghosts, ghosts, ghosts and jump down from balcony
....all died.

The chairman of Genting Highland cannot stop laughing
with his penis hard as rock!

Actualy casino oredy reported its first death ... some Malaysian I think, after gamble don't feel well, collapsed & died-ed !

 

[Ash007]

Go into casino, don't even have to play 1st hand already down $100. Suai already, how can it be any good for the rest ah ?

 

[Ash007]

Could it be cheaper better faster?

But no good?

that statement is an oxymoron. Cheap things are not good, good things are not cheap. I suppose better is suppose to imply "good" but then better could still mean better then sub-par but not as good.

Safety checks are usually done BEFORE opening

They must be desperate to catch all those $$$ to open without those safety checks.

Well they better re-look at the structural steel used for building these rides. It could be another Hotel New World in the making...

Saw a documentary on the New World hotel collapse.

Seems that someone "miscalculated" the load being added during a renovation Another case of the Spore system failing

I dun think it was a case of miscalculation but more a case of over stating the strength of the concrete like "toh gong jian liao"...thou I don't know if the deformed bars used was also up to strength...
