Universal Studios Singapore - Something Sunny Coming Your Way (Crumbs)
Teaser 2: Crumbs
Universal Studios Singapore (USS) is the Singaporean Universal Studios theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island, Singapore. It is the second Universal Studios theme park in Asia (Universal Studios Japan being the first) and the first Universal Studios theme park within Southeast Asia. After four years of development and construction, the park had a "soft opening" period from March 18 to October 26 in 2010, with a grand opening on May 28, 2011.
The New York area of the park features Sesame Street characters and attractions, including three live shows. Eight (walk-around) characters – Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert, Oscar the Grouch, Grover and Abby Cadabby – appear in these shows as well as in meet-and-greet sessions. An indoor ride is currently in development, slated to debut in the park either at the end of 2012 or in early 2013.
Sesame Street debuted at USS on May 28, 2012, with the announcement being made four days beforehand. Prior to the news announcement, Resorts World Sentosa released two teaser trailers - the first one, entitled "Treasure", on May 18 and the second one, "Crumbs", on May 22. Both trailers were created to pique people's curiosity about the new attraction, while at the same time, indicate some of the obvious.
The live shows, all of which take place outdoors on the streets of New York, consist of:
- When I Grow Up – A 12-minute stage show featuring Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, Grover, Bert and Ernie, performed on the front steps of the Public Library. It is a trimmed down version of the Sesame Street Live show of the same name (both the original and the updated version).
- Dance with Bert and Ernie – A seven-minute interactive street show with Bert, Ernie, Elmo and Grover, performed on New York Street near the Public Library.
- Our Favorite Things – Bert, Oscar and Cookie Monster sing about the things they love in this six-minute street show. Performed on New York Street, near Loui’s Pizza.
Show schedules and performances vary on different days. For the exact schedules, refer to the USS park brochure. (Note: The brochure does not specify which show will be performed)
The indoor ride, being developed by KB Creative Advisors (who also did work for Universal Studios Japan) will follow Elmo and other characters around New York. [1] The attraction is a dark ride similar to E.T. Adventure at Universal Studios Florida. Andrea Teo, vice-president of Entertainment at Resorts World Sentosa, said of the upcoming attraction: "I think it's a very unique ride. It's got the same Sesame Street kind of humour, it's a bit wacky, it's a bit way-out-there, it'll make you laugh and because it's a ride, it also gives you a bit of a thrill (and) adventure." [2]
Sesame Street Character Breakfast, hosted by Loui's Pizza, runs on selected weekends and holidays from 9:00am to 10:30am. The breakfast is not included in the day-pass to USS. Guests will need to reserve their tickets online or purchase their tickets at the ticketing booth upon entering the park.
Sesame Street merchandise, both park-exclusive items and imports, are available in gift shops, including The Brown Derby at Hollywood Boulevard (near Mel's Drive-In). Additionally, the park will open three Sesame-themed retail outlets, including a Sesame Street School Bus, in July. [3]
