Closure
Due to the rapid modernization of Sentosa island, maintenance problems, increasing costs, and declining popularity as visitors started complaining that the ride was slow and uncomfortable, the Sentosa Monorail ceased operations on 16 March 2005 to make way for the new four-station Sentosa Express monorail. Much of the track and all of the rolling stock were sold as scrap for S$350,000. Five of the monorail stations have been repurposed for other uses, such as the "Surrender Chamber" at Fort Siloso, a restaurant being developed at the Central Beach Monorail Station, and the SDC Office Monorail Station was rebuilt and now converted into a bar, although Gateway was demolished when the line closed and Ferry Terminal was demolished in 2007.
