Singapore,
officially the Republic of Singapore, is a sovereign island city-state in
maritime Southeast Asia. It lies about one degree of latitude (137 kilometres
or 85 miles) north of the equator, off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula,
bordering the Straits of Malacca to the west, the Riau Islands (Indonesia) to
the south, and the South China Sea to the east. The country's territory is
composed of one main island, 63 satellite islands and islets, and one outlying
islet, the combined area of which has increased by 25% since the country's
independence as a result of extensive land reclamation projects. It has the
second greatest population density in the world. With a multicultural
population and recognising the need to respect cultural identities, Singapore
has four official languages; English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil. English is
the lingua franca. Multiracialism is enshrined in the constitution and
continues to shape national policies in education, housing, and politics.

Singapore is a theme park located within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa
Island, Singapore. It features 28 rides, shows, and attractions in seven themed
zones.
It was a key component of
the Genting Group's bid for the right to build Singapore's second integrated
resort. On 8 December 2006, the Singapore government announced that the
consortium had won the bid. Construction of the theme park and the rest of the
resort started on 19 April 2007. It is the second Universal Studios theme park
to open in Asia (Japan being the first), and the first in Southeast Asia. The
official plans for the park were unveiled to the public when Universal Studios
Singapore released a park map to the public on 20 October 2009. Universal
Studios Singapore attracted more than 2 million visitors in the 9 months from
its opening.
The park has been
marketed by Universal Parks & Resorts as a "one-of-its-kind theme park
in Asia" and promised that the park would be the only one of its kind in
Southeast Asia for the next 30 years.
Universal Studios
Singapore is 20 hectares (49 acres) in size, occupying the easternmost part of
the 49-hectare (120-acre) Resorts World Sentosa. There are a total of 24
attractions, of which 18 are original or specially adapted for the park.[47]
The park consists of seven themed zones surrounding a lagoon. Each zone is
mostly based on movies and/or television, featuring their own attractions, meet
and greet locations, over 30 restaurants and food carts, and 20 retail stores
and carts located around the park.
