SOME 50 early birds, eager to be among the first to get tickets for the sneak preview to the Universal Studios theme park on Sentosa, started queuing up on Friday morning.
By 9am, lines have started forming behind six counters.
Even though the 20 rides rides and show will not be running, many said they don't mind paying $10 to take a 'look see' since they will get meal vouchers worth at least the same value.
Tickets are limited for the sneak preview of the park, which opens for an eight-day stretch from this Sunday to Feb 21 from 5pm to 9pm. The park is slated to re-open early next month.
Among the first in the queue is Mr Law Yu Fat, 50, a homemaker. He said he will take his sister and husband who are visiting on the first day of Chinese New Year on Sunday. 'I don't mind paying $10 to take a look at the park as I find the rides too thrilling to take,' he told The Straits Times.
Also on Sunday, the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) casino will open its door at 12.18pm.
