Sentosa - Defunct Attractions

Defunct Attractions

Part of Imbiah Lookout closed down on 27 March 2007 to make way for Resorts World Sentosa. Note that some of the attractions listed here may have closed down earlier.

Sijori Wondergolf

was a miniature golf park. There were 54 landscaped greens set in three different 18-hole courses. It eventually went under redevelopment and will re-open in the following years to come.

Fantasy Island

was a water based theme park in Sentosa. Opened in 1994 at a cost of S$54 million, it had numerous water slides and other features. Once a very popular park at the time of its opening, it was plagued by several accidents,which resulted in several people getting injured and two who were killed, all these accidents caused the attraction to be eventually closed down on 2 November 2002.

Sentosa Monorail

circled the western half of Sentosa until it closed in March 2005. Most of the island monorail was dismantled though several of the stations were repurposed for other uses and parts of the original track structure still remain. The monorail was replaced by the red, blue and yellow bus lines and the current Sentosa Express which operates from the main island of Singapore to Sentosa which now replaces the old monorail.

Volcanoland

featured an artificial volcano along with Mayan motifs and scenery. It was closed down to make way for the new integrated resort.

Musical Fountain

opened in 1982, it was the star attraction at that time. It underwent three extensive renovations in 1972 (construction), 1992 (upgrading project) and 1999 (major restoration and upgrading project). In 2002, world-renowned fountain designer, Yves Pépin (who also designed Songs of the Sea) replaced all the musical fountain shows with the Magical Sentosa Show for a permanent basis but it only lasted for a mere 5 years. After operating for 25 years, it was shut down to make way for the integrated resort. Its last show was staged on 25 March 2007. It was replaced by the Songs of the Sea show.

Sentosa Ferry Terminal

opened in 1973, it was the first cruise center in the region, for some time it was a popular attraction which ferried 9 million passengers to and from Sentosa, but it was believed that passenger traffic started to decline steadily after 1998 when cars were allowed into the island for the first time. Ferry Terminal Monorail Station of the now disfunct Sentosa Monorail once connected tourists to the western half of the island, but it no longer does after the station closed in 2005. The ferry terminal itself was demolished along with the Sentosa Musical Fountain and the Fountain Gardens which connected the terminal to the musical fountain in 2007, to make way for Resorts World Sentosa which would occupy the area. The demolition was watched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the media, and the general public
