SINGAPORE, 16 JULY 2014 – The world’s only permanent night extravaganza set in the sea marked its official opening tonight. Since its first show on 17 June, Wings of Time has captivated over 75,000 local and international guests.
Mr S Iswaran, Minister in Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister for Home Affairs and
Trade & Industry, attended the opening ceremony marked by a dazzling pyrotechnic display.
Guests were brought into the world of Wings of Time, as the event area was transformed into a futuristic garden from the Edge of Time, home of the main character, Shahbaz.
“Our attractions must continually refresh and rejuvenate themselves to cater to increasingly discerning local and foreign visitors. The new Wings of Time show augments our attractions landscape and widens the range of entertainment choices for Singaporeans and tourists. I enjoyed the show and commend the team at Sentosa Development Corporation on their efforts to put up this creative entertainment offering,” said Minister Iswaran.
Guests were then treated to the 25-min showcase of Wings of Time. Mr Mike Barclay, CEO of Sentosa Development Corporation, said “While it is still early days, we are very encouraged by the early response from our guests. Since its soft opening less than a month ago, we have seen a strong response from local guests who have been keen to catch the Wings of Time show. We are confident that the story line and state-of-the-art special effects will be well appreciated by guests of all nationalities and ages.”
The signature night extravaganza is part of Sentosa’s on-going efforts to refresh the guest experience on the island, in line with Sentosa’s recent rebranding which positions Sentosa as the State of Fun.
