Madagascar: A Crate Adventure is Open at Universal

Studios Singapore

Update : 18:13 Published by François Mayné the 16 May 2011, New.

Universal Studios Singapore, the world-class theme park within Resorts World Sentosa, the first integrated resort destination in Singapore, today announced that guests can soon join the famous escapees from the New York Zoo when Madagascar: A Crate Adventure debuts on 16 May.

This new theme park attraction is inspired by DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: DWA) Madagascar film series, one of the most successful animated movie franchises of all time. Among the longest rides in Universal Studios Singapore, Madagascar: A Crate Adventure is a nine-minute indoor flume ride that takes guests on a riverboat adventure with Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo.

The Central Park “Zoosters” join forces with the eccentric leader of the local lemurs, King Julien
– and Universal Studios Singapore guests – to help defeat the dreaded Foosa. Aided by the
technically-savvy and hilarious Penguins, the heroes and guests together defeat the Foosa at
the rim of a bubbling volcanic cauldron. Along the way, they encounter a giant alligator, wildeyed spiders and more.

Mr. Jeffrey Katzenberg, Chief Executive Officer of DreamWorks Animation, said: “Madagascar:
A Crate Adventure is the primary attraction built within the first-ever theme park zone dedicated
exclusively to all things related to and inspired by our Madagascar movie series. We are excited
about the way in which it allows people to interact with DreamWorks Animation’s unique
characters and worlds in a memorable family experience.”

Mr. Tan Hee Teck, Chief Executive Officer of Resorts World Sentosa, said: “We sought to
translate the worldwide appeal of the Madagascar movies into this attraction and I believe we
succeeded. It is an exhilarating ride with fantastic sets and a terrific storyline. This attraction
can be enjoyed by the whole family, from Grandma to Little Tot.’’

Mr. Thomas Williams, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Universal Parks & Resorts, said:
“Madagascar: A Crate Adventure is an excellent example of how a compelling attraction can
arise from a creative alliance between companies that share a commitment to family 2
entertainment. It’s a unique ride that once again enables guests to Ride The Movies at a worldclass Universal Studios theme park.”

The Madagascar: A Crate Adventure attraction, the first in the world of its kind based on the
Madagascar franchise, was conceptualized by some of the world’s most creative theme park
designers at Resorts World Sentosa in collaboration with DreamWorks Animation and Universal
Parks & Resorts.

Universal Studios Singapore has six attractions based on DreamWorks Animation films. The
attractions are spread across two zones – Madagascar and Far Far Away – and are
complemented by more than 10 themed dining and shopping outlets. In addition to Madagascar:
A Crate Adventure, other attractions include King Julien’s Beach Party-Go-Round, the Shrek 4-
D Adventure, Enchanted Airways, Donkey LIVE and Magic Potion Spin.
