Merlin launches first Madam Tussauds in Singapore
Visitors to Singapore can now rub shoulders with the likes of David Beckham, Brad Pitt and Lady Gaga in wax form as Merlin Entertainments' newest Madame Tussauds attraction has opened to the public at Sentosa Island Resort.
The attraction is Merlin’s 18th waxwork museum worldwide and features a number of local figures such as Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, singer-songwriter Stefanie Sun and actor Gurmit Singh, who stand alongside global celebrities and figures of historical importance.
This is the first Tussauds attraction to include a water boat ride, which will take visitors on a journey celebrating the sights of Singapore – including Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer and the Formula 1 night race.
Madame Tussauds will sit alongside another attraction called Singapore LIVE – which is currently undergoing a full renovation before reopening on 3 December. Singapore LIVE will introduce actors telling stories about Singapore’s history and the two attractions will be linked by the ‘Spirit of Singapore’ boat ride.
“Singapore is an exciting and vibrant international hub with a strong tourism offering and Sentosa is now one of the top attractions destinations in Asia,” said Mark Fish, chief development officer for Merlin Entertainments.
“We are very grateful to Sentosa Development Corporation for allowing us to launch Madame Tussauds on Sentosa and we also look forward to working together with them to introduce other exciting, new concepts in the future”.
Madame Tussauds Singapore joins other popular and successful Madame Tussauds in Asia, with existing attractions currently in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Bangkok and Wuhan.
