In which country did a Universal Studios Theme Park have its grand opening on May 28, 2011?
Universal Parks & Resorts, also known as Universal Studios Theme Parks or solely Universal Theme Parks, is the theme park unit of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. The company, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, operates Universal theme parks and resort properties around the world.
It started as a touring attraction in the 1910s at the Universal Studios Lot in Universal City near Los Angeles, California, and in 1964 turned into a Universal Studios Hollywood theme park destination, where guests can look behind the scenes of motion pictures and television programs, produced by Universal Pictures and occasionally others, and ride the attraction based on the world's favorite feature films and television shows. The popularity of Universal Studios Hollywood had led Universal to build parks in Florida and overseas.
The two parks that are outside the U.S. are Universal Studios Japan, which opened in 2001 and Universal Studios Singapore. Construction of the Singapore park began within Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa, Singapore on April 19, 2008. Universal Studios Singapore was given a soft opening on March 18, 2010 and later a wide opening on May 28, 2011. Like other Universal theme parks, it features attractions from various Universal and other studio companies' properties, including 'Jurassic Park', 'Madagascar', 'Shrek', 'The Mummy', 'Waterworld', 'Transformers', and others. The land it currently sits on is 20 hectares (49 acres) in size.
