Universal Studios Singapore shuts down rollercoaster

Friday March 26, 2010

Barely a week after it opened to much fanfare, the Universal Studios Singapore theme park’s main attraction has shut down indefinitely.

The action was taken after a technical glitch was found in the Battlestar Galactica duelling rollercoaster ride during a pre-opening inspection on Thursday.

The theme park is located within the Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) integrated resort.

In a statement, RWS said that it decided to close the ride -- the world’s tallest duelling rollercoaster -- to reaffirm its commitment to employee and guest safety.

However, it did not elaborate on what the glitch was or how it occurred.

In a separate statement Thursday night, the police said the ride’s licence has been suspended with immediate effect. -- The Straits Times/ ANN
