Asia’s most dynamic nations. It is a blend of energetic nightlife, eclectic entertainment and

popular, Nickelodeon movie theatres, now stands, The Universal Studio, renowned for its major
blockbuster movie productions and a myriad of family activities. Visitors are left amazed and
inspired with the selection of exciting things to do in Singapore.
In 1912, Carl Laemmle founded what is now celebrated as the oldest American movie studios
still in constant production. It was much later in 2004 that Vivendi Universal was sold to NBC,
then since the company was known to be NBC Universal, maintaining the title of Universal Studios
Inc. as the production subsidiary.
Through the years the company faced a number of gradually developing situations, with the
introduction of the television in the late 1950’s, which weakened the attendance for the movies.
Universal Studios then introduced bus tours to visitors, each tour introducing the new Universal
productions. This concept slowly developed into the Tour Centre which eventually became the
foundation for the Universal Studios Theme Park. More quirky attractions joined the theme park
including aficionados, The Avalanche, The Runaway Train, the Submarine Attack, The Ice Tunnel, The
Burning House and the Battle of Galactica, the strongest attractions of them all.
Enjoy the thrill and excitement at Universal Studios and thereafter relax in the comfort of
luxury offered by Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore. This boutique-style residency offers business
accommodation to international travellers with an assortment of modern amenities included in a
selection of well-appointed rooms.
