marina bay sands have no restriction on dressing code? short pant and sandal/slipper

as far as i know, no slipper, no short pants. but not sure if T-Shirt without collar is allowed. But its best to stick to Genting's rules, then no prob.

BSG and the Madagascar ride wont be open until, at the earliest, end of this year, but most probably by early 2011. They've just received the new Vekoma coaster cars, and test-running it extensively before allowing public consumption.

Since the cat is out of the bag, I'll spill. Those who have been or seen the BSG ride, there are two sections of the ride, the Human side and the Cylon side. The Human side is a coaster car with a floor, the Cylon is the opposite, it is a floorless car with the coaster track at the top, which employs a "legs-dangling" kind of feel. Before the park opens and a ride is open to public, a test run with physical and mechanical checkpoints needed to be passed, and to do so, typically, a park ride is run without occupants in their seats for at least 5 circuits. What happened to the BSG ride, specifically the Cylon side, (which is floorless, dangling kind) is that one of the seats fell off during the test run. This constitutes a serious occupational hazard(duh!) to the rider as well as the other visitors walking under the ride tracks.

After that incident, thorough investigation was extended to all the other ride, and at one time, The Revenge of the Mummy ride too was taken offline. It has been online since, but do suffer occasional ride shutdown from time to time. The Jurassic Park ride too suffer the same fate, and even though they've promised a June opening for the much anticipated Madagascar Crate ride, it is now pushed towards the end of the year/early 2011 due to a small fire breaking out inside the ride(made to look like a ship), and having to do repairs on the interiors.

What did they do to repair their already damaged reputation? A nighttime fireworks, and a SDD5 entry fare to boot. Not enough for me to personally return to park. I can only imagine Universal fury for such appaling standards Genting has uphold to this fiasco.

Now, with those "cats" out of the "bag", would you go? I'd always be thinking twice now every time I ride the Cylon side of the BSG ride, even though while it lasted, it was phenomenal! The two fog pits always left me sputtering for breath at the end of the ride. laugh.gif

Just went to USS yesterday for the after hours event. Nothing special. Just allow you to enter to look around the shops in the theme park, they even block out the places near the rides even the rides are close. So in other words, u can only walk in less than 1/5 of the theme park. I believe the major thing they are selling is just the fire works.

Hi All,

Those who had travelled to Singapore, I'd like to ask you, is the Marina Bay Sands worth visiting?
I heard the casino is the main attraction - but I am not a gambler (and dont wish to gamble), will I still find it entertaining and interesting to visit it?

Also, I heard (again from ppl) that everything need to pay at the Marina Bay Sands. Is it true?

Thanks~

Main attraction in Sands is actually the sky garden ($25 entry fees) and the casino. other than that, its basically a hotel and a shopping mall (branded stuff). after paying $25, u can only see the night view in Singapore and cannot use the facilities in the sky garden, so i find it a bit pricey and i have not visited it yet coz i don't think it worth paying $25 just to take a glance on the Singapore night scene.

Latest update is that Battlestar Galactica is still close until March 2011. Revenge of the Mummy has reopened, as well as steady opening of Jurassic Park ride. With only one ride closed, and SGD70 entrance fee, it is not that bad to spend a day there.

Am planning a trip with the guys there next month.

I'm planning to go to USS middle of this month, and I'll be staying in JB. Initail want to stay at TuneHotel, as it has sguttle to USS, but was mtold that the room is small, so maybe staying at The Zon. Anybody has any idea how to go to USS, or anybody has contact with any van driver for us to use his service for 2 days JB-SINGAPORE-JB.

I Will be going to Sentosa next week using Aeroline from Sunway. Going with my family with 3 kids and staying in Festive hotel.

Can I park my car at sunway pyramid for 3 day? How much is the charges for overnight parking?

What is the best way to travel to Festive hotel from Harbourfront where aeroline will be stoping? Cabs or Sentosa Express? If by cabs still need to pay sentosa admission fees?

I may be kinda weird.... seen most of Sg already. One weekend night after clubbing in Tg Pagar, spur of the moment got on a Night Rider bus NR6 & NR1 to Sentosa. It goes right to the basement of the casino.

Got some snacks at the 7-11, walked around the beautiful waterfront esplanade -- very cool, peaceful and quiet at night. Saw almost nobody else but 3 security guards. Caught last bus at 4:30am which stopped in front of the building where I was staying.
