'World first' attractions to be opened in Singapore

The Singapore Tourism Board has announced details of some unique attractions that will be opening in the city-state next year.

Families will have the opportunity to visit the Universal Studios amusement park at Resorts World Sentosa to experience the world's first attraction based on the hit animated movie Madagascar.

There will be a state-of-the-art indoor boat ride featuring characters from the film and special effects.

Also set to open at Universal Studios in Singapore is the first Far Far Away Castle, which features in Shrek, another hit movie released by DreamWorks Animation.

Fashion devotees will be able to visit the city-state next year to explore a unique 'floating' Louis Vuitton store.

The flagship outlet will be based on an island at the Marina Bay Sands resort, which will also feature a five-star hotel, a casino and several restaurants.

Jason Ong, a spokesman for the Singapore Tourism Board, said: "With the wide range of new product offerings … [at] Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, we will firmly establish Singapore as one of the world's top travel destinations."
