UNIVERSAL Studios Singapore (USS) has let the cat out of the bag – DreamWorks Animation’s irrepressible Puss in Boots is to become the centre of two new attractions to open in the park by year-end.
Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), DreamWorks Animation and Universal Parks & Studios are working on a new suspended roller coaster ride named Puss in Boots’ Giant Journey, RWS announced today.
The ride located in the Far Far Away themed zone takes theme park visitors into the giant’s castle now overgrown by a magical beanstalk, alongside Puss and his accomplice, Kitty Soft Paws.
Further details of the ride’s launch will be announced at a later date.
John Hallenbeck, senior vice president of attractions at RWS, said: “We are excited to expand our collaboration with DreamWorks Animation. DreamWorks characters have been popular and the expansion will allow our guests to experience more of Puss in Boots, a franchise beloved by families and youths. The new ride is designed on the popularity of our other crowd-pleasing suspended roller coaster, and will cater to not only families but thrill-seekers as well.”
Meanwhile, Puss and Kitty will star in a new stage show from September. Titled The Dance for the Magic Beans, the 20-minute show will also include a meet-and-greet show with the characters.
The new roller coaster ride brings USS’ number of DreamWorks attractions to seven.
USS last week unveiled the theme and pricings for this year’s Halloween Horror Nights, an annual scare fest that has become a calendar event for tourism in Singapore (TTG Asia e-Daily, July 25, 2014).
