Universal Studios Singapore shuts ride a week after opening
The newly-opened Universal Studios Singapore has had to close one of its major rollercoasters due to a technical malfunction.
The Battlestar Galactica ride – a duelling coaster, whereby two trains begin at the same time and loop around each other – is one of the park’s biggest attractions, but a problem was discovered during the routine pre-opening test on Thursday.
An official statement said: “Due to a technical problem, the Battlestar Galactica attraction will be closed until further notice. Experts from the ride's design, engineering and manufacturing company are assisting to resolve the situation. We understand some guests may be disappointed; however, the safety of our employees and guests remains our top priority.”
The park only officially opened on 18 March.
