Its Universal Studios Singapore will feature two new rides - a 'heart-stopping' roller coaster ride plus the park's all-time favourite ride, ET: The flight home.
On the entertainment front, RWS is bringing four new shows that feature multimedia, light and sound effects to add to the three public performances proposed in its original bid.
With the new additions, RWS has revised its budget from $5.2 billion to $5.75 billion. There is also a further contingency of $250 million, raising the budget to $6 billion.
The revised budget also covers improvements made to its hotels and resort design for higher-value guests, transportation and access infrastruture in the resort, and the rising costs of construction.
RWS is confident that the enhancements will allow the IR to tap further into the growing tourism markets.
'We are bullish in our visitor arrival projections. With the economies of China and India growing at unabated speed, we expect to see visitors who will spend more,' said Mr Tan Hee Teck, RWS' CEO.
Construction is on track for the resort's soft opening in 2010. When completed, the resort's Universal Studios Singapore will boost 22 rides, making it one of the largest theme parks in the world.
