Theme Park History on Sentosa Island

The island of peace and tranquility has become quite the island of fun over many years. It has been an on going, ever changing, industry for a number of decades. Some of the entertainment parks have had their share of big start up excitement and closed up endings. There was a miniature golf park that had over 50 different landscaped greens with three different 18 hole courses called Sijori Wondergolf. This mini golf facility is currently closed for renovation so visitors may have to just go play with the big boys on the big course at Sentosa Golf Club

Visitors used to flock to hotels on Sentosa Island in the 1990s to spend some time at Fantasy Island. It was a water based theme park that featured lots of water slides and other water ride features. It was a very popular theme park but it closed its doors after a number of accidents occurred. There were two fatalities which brought a lot of legalities so the park closed in 2002. The main water attraction to spend time at today is the Wave House.

Volcanoland has been closed down to they can build another resort which will integrate the artificial volcano attraction into the whole complex. It used to have a Mayan theme so it will be interesting to see if they stay with that or move in another design direction. Another partially used leftover attraction is the Sentosa Monorail. It used to circle around sentosa until they shut it down in 2005. Most of it was torn apart, but they kept the monorail service that goes between Singapore and Sentosa.

The Musical Fountain was a very popular main attraction for 25 years. Each day this fountain would come alive as it danced to fun music and was lit up with colorful lights and lasers. The water was manipulated to all forms of mist and sprays as stories of legends to center stage. Now people come to see the updated replacement for the Musical Fountain, which is the Songs of the Sea Show. The Songs of the Sea promises to give the best in pyrotechnics, water, lights, lasers and flames that can be had. This show shouldn’t be missed.
