Universal Studios Singapore

In December 2006 Genting International and Star Cruises won a bid to develop an integrated resort on Sentosa Island, Singapore. The 49-hectare RESORTS WORLD Sentosa was planned for a phased opening. Phase One included Four Hotels, a Casino, Several "Celebrity" Chef Restaurants, a Luxury Retail Galleria and a Universal Studios Theme Park.

In April 2007, ShoConcepts Creative Services was hired by Resorts World to assemble a creative team to design and produce the theme park.

Representing Resorts World, Steve Ryan hand-picked the world's best entertainment designers to custom create Universal Studios Singapore.

The best-of-the-best team led the detailed master planning, concept and schematic design for this 24-attraction theme park.

In cooperation with Universal Creative, and DreamWorks Animation Steve's team of planners, architects, and art directors created the initial detailed concepts for all rides, shows, attractions, retail and dining facilities.

This specially created design team relocated to Singapore for over a year to provide on-site art direction supervision of the detailed design, shop drawing, fabrication and site construction efforts.

The multi-disciplinary team led Resorts World's in-house projects team to bring the project to fruition in less than three years from concept to opening day.
