MEGA FUN From Dusk Till Dark This June At Sentosa

Hi Huneybees,

As we step into the last lap of the June Holidays, it's time to wrap it up with MEGA FUN, soaking up the sun at Sentosa - The State of Fun. There's tons to see and tons to do for you to spend full days with your friends and families!

I will suggest starting the fun at the Palawan Beach, have a splashing good time with mega inflatables across the whole beach amidst foams, slides, pools and walls. With free admission to the Mega Inflatables Playground, you can look forward to plenty of bouncing and sliding down giant inflatables including Singapore’s largest inflatable slide which measures 10m in height (three storeys), diving into a mega ball pool with more than 200,000 balls, wandering through an inflatable maze, and go ahead and challenge yourself on the traversing wall and balancing beam while having loads of water-oriented fun.

And if you are tired out at the outdoor Mega Inflatables Playground at Palawan Beach, parents can chill whilst the kids can play at the the iconic Palawan Pirate Ship, where gushing fountains, splashing water, slides and a pirate-head which sends buckets of water downwards at regular intervals to thrill everyone.

Be sure to also spot the Bubbleologist that's roving around Palawan Green at 3pm and 5pm. You will be amazed by bubbles of all shapes and sizes! 

Playing BIG takes on a literal meaning in Sentosa, photo buffs can exercise their creativity with upsized photo props, including two-metre tall giant deck chairs and mega pinwheels on Palawan Beach, and be the envy of your social media friends with these unique backdrops.

Whilst waiting for the night to fall, go to the island's many selections of food cafes and restaurants to fill up those empty stomachs. Children will also find dining delights with exclusive menus and special discounts just for them. With over 120 dining options in The State of Fun, everyone is sure to find something to delight their palette.

Then, head over to the Merlion for the dazzling Merlion Magic Lights! show. The iconic and ever-popular light and music show returns this June with a newly curated June holiday-themed showcase. You can see the Merlion waking up to rainbow colours, showcasing what encases FUN within the island alongside with the fun accompanying music.

Be sure to catch it daily from 2 June to 9 July, starting at 7.45pm, with 30-minute show intervals until 9.15pm. Two additional shows will be held on weekends, eve of public holidays and public holidays.

Alternatively, you can also choose to round off your day at The State of Fun with movie nights on Palawan Green. Back by popular demand, a series of family-friendly blockbusters will be featured from Thursdays to Sundays between 8 and 25 June, starting from 7.30pm.

But, the fun do not just end there. There's still tons to see and tons to do alongside the Mega Deals at various attractions and eateries! You can rediscover Fort Siloso at the newly revamped Surrender Chambers, walk through the Fort Siloso Skywalk (a treetop trail set 11 storeys above ground), get upclose and personal with birds, insects, wildlife and plants at the Sentosa Nature Discovery or the free performance at Animal & Bird Encounter where exotic parrots, mischievous macaques and majestic birds-of-prey delight with tricks and antics.

Sentosa and GMM Tai Hub Co. Ltd launch first joint residential project, Spooktacular Village - Laddaland

Hi Huneybees,

Sentosa Leisure Management Pte Ltd and its partner, GMM Tai Hub Co. Ltd, have unveiled plans for an exciting new property development at Sentosa’s Spooktacular Village – Laddaland.  This October, all 40,000 square metres of Fort Siloso will be redeveloped into Laddaland, a prime leasehold property, and promises a heart-stopping lifestyle for adrenaline junkies. 

Situated along the coast of Sentosa, Fort Siloso is known for its rich background; from serving as Singapore’s coastal defence in the 1880s, to being a prison camp during the Japanese Occupation of World War II. Its historical background makes it an ideal location to stage an immersive real-life haunted village experience.  Located minutes from mainland Singapore, the Spooktacular Village is easily accessible by the Sentosa Express. 

Jimmy Wong, Events Director, Sentosa Leisure Management

“The historic site, Fort Siloso, has always had residents come and go since World War 2. It is a unique and ageless property which offers good potential for development. Our partnership with GTH to redevelop the area into Laddaland will feed an insatiable demand for fun and fresh scares.”  --- Mr. Jimmy Wong, Chief Property Agent (and also Events Director), Sentosa Leisure Management Pte Ltd

The premier Thai horror moviemaker GTH will be introducing new features to the development. The entire Laddaland development will be immersed in a veil of horror, based on GTH’s international horror hits such as Laddaland, Alone, Countdown and their upcoming production, The Swimmers. Visitors can choose their preferred neighbourhoods and horror pathways as they tread through 20 – 30 minutes of prolonged fear and suspense. With elements from the movies infused into various parts of the haunted Laddaland at Sentosa’s Spooktacular Village, one can expect a concoction of Asian horror folklore and out-of-this-world experiences that will arrest all human senses.

“With our expertise of breathing life into movie sets, coupled with the enhanced understanding of creating horror sets using a natural setting like Fort Siloso, we are confident that Laddaland and its extended features will be a home which is highly sought after by thrill-seekers and fun-lovers, which we have identified as a big segment for this project.” --- Mr. Yongyoot Thongkongtoon, Senior Director of International Business for GTH.

In addition to the attractive features, Laddaland has a unique price model. Units are priced from $56.60 and have a special five-hour lease. They are expected to sell out fast, so interested parties are encouraged to make their bookings quickly.

TICKETS ON SALE NOW

[Halloween] Sentosa Spooktacular is back!

Hi Huneybees,

Halloween is just round the corner and this weekend, Sentosa Spooktacular is back for another scary installment! 

This year, the scare is brought right into Fort Siloso which is long reputes for its tales of haunting incidents. According to urban folklore, the island's dark history of battles and death has generated stories of Asian ghouls seen wandering around Fort Siloso's tunnels and colonial buildings. 

With the newly recruited four ambassadors for Sentosa’s annual marquee Halloween event; the Pontianak, the Chinese Ghost Bride, the Dead Soldier and the Jiang Shi (Chinese Vampire) and the cohort of 200 ghosts, Sentosa Spooktacular 2012 is set to be Singapore’s largest Asian horror fest.

These new hires will populate Fort Siloso and its five new Horror Trails, a venue used for the first time in Singapore’s Halloween history. Its rich historical background has given Fort Siloso its rift reputation as a haunting ground for paranormal sightings, (yes, making it all even more spooky this year!) distinctively setting Sentosa Spooktacular apart from other Halloween events this October 19 and 20, and 26 to 28, from 7pm to 11pm.

“This year, it is all about authenticity when presenting horror at Sentosa Spooktacular. Fort Siloso today stands as a reminder to one of the most tempestuous chapters in local history. With the addition of our Asian supernatural entities, we were able to tap into their individual experiences and cultures to bring to life the Asian folklore that we grew up with. After all, what can be more realistic and scary than finding out if there is any truth to these urban legends?” --- Mr. Jimmy Wong, Events Director, Sentosa Leisure Group

Hopefully saluting to the Japanese Dead Soldier, he might let you off?

With Fort Siloso as Sentosa Spooktacular 2012’s designated venue, its horror trails challenge fans and patrons to walk the fine line between myth and reality as these 200 spirits will meet with daredevil visitors at Sentosa Spooktacular’s Horror Trails: Ouija Board, Camp Berhantu, Deadly Doll Studio, The Land of Lost Souls as well as The Last Sequel, to retell their hair-raising accounts of bloody murders, painful tortures and tragic deaths.

To maximise their evening of scares and nightmares, visitors are encouraged to descend into the Netherworld through the Sentosa Express Station at VivoCity, and hop onto the cob-web covered Ghost Rider Bus or Tram at the Beach Station. However, Sentosa Spooktacular also warns of other non-human passengers who may be hitching the same rides into the Netherworld.

For the first time in this year’s fright fest, Sentosa Spooktacular kicks it up a notch by transforming Fort Siloso into a full-scale Netherworld, starting right at the entrance of Fort Siloso.

The Netherworld − playground of Sentosa Spooktacular’s ghosts and ghouls, beckons with scenes of Singapore set in the 1950s.

There will be several types of activity booths for this immersive horror experience, ranging from push-cart stalls selling devilishly delicious snacks such as dim sum and beverages, getai singers, to Spook stores as well as tikam tikam ─ all manned by original spirits of the once-existing hawkers back in the day.

One bloody bones coming right up!

Are you ready for the trails? Here is a little preview of each of the trails, hopefully it can prep you a little? I really hope it helps, coz I really did scare the sh*t hell out of me. :X

Camp Berhantu 

Watch the paranormal proceedings at the ghastly barracks as the ghost of the restless recruit re-enacts his fire mishap every Thursday night - when spirits are at their most rowdy, according to Malay beliefs. Smell the acrid stench of kerosene and burnt alloy; hear the sounds of frantic pounding and unearthly shrieks as the recruit is burnt "alive"  for the umpteenth time. Be on guard there - unappeased with killing his bunkmates in revenge, he might take it out on you. Then, you have to stay with him for eternity!

Beware your every step! It can be smokey and the ghostly soldiers are at every corner to scare you!

Camp Berhantu

Welcome to Sawadee Airline to the desolated Dwng Wiyyan, where you notice the other person around seems to be the grim , blind monk.

But don't be fooled; he's not alone. Surrounding him (and you) are tormented spirits with unfinished business binding them to this world. You best pray you have the "third eye" to see the wraiths, or you will never be able to dodge their deadly clutches. Are you fast enought to escape and make a return trip from the lifeless land?

Told ya they have unfinished business ~

The Last Sequel

Always wished you could write your own destiny? Hear the story of an ill-fated author and you will drop the idea. The wretched man continues to be stricken by horrific events that seem to follow his novels to the letter - grisly pieces of his sister sent to him in a crate, his wife found gruesomely murdered and hanged in a walk-in freezer. Come see how the nightmarish plot unfolds, but first; prepare your death note.

I didn't dare to enter this horror house. You are really on your own in this one!

Deadly Doll Studio

Afraid of dolls? You should be! Visitors of this doll studio swear the deadpan eyes of the creepy creations seem to follow them; some even claim to have witnessed them move on their own. So lifelike in appearance, people now suspect real human parts were used.

Have you got the guts to spy on the uncanny doll maker to discover the secret behind her craft? Beware; you might end up being the horrific face of her next exhibit, as they say she will not stop until she makes the "perfect doll".

Ouijia Board

Responsible for burying prisoners-of-war during WW2, the caretaker used to live in the dilapidated house atop Mount Siloso before he was also tortured to death by the soldiers.

The abode became the favourite haunt of occultists for dark rituals, and the anguished spirits were summoned for Ouija readings. But no one dares visit after one such unholy pilgrimage went wrong, and the inquisitors vanished mysteriously. If you're dying to know what happened, come ask the specters yourself - but don't get spirited away!

In between the trails, don't miss the ghosts doing a little performance too!

More ghostly friends awaits when you survive the horror trails. Good luck escaping them!

Sentosa Spooktacular now officially invites all to come play, if  you dare.
