Universal Studios Singapore named best amusement park in Asia

Universal Studios Singapore has been named the best amusement park in Asia for the fourth consecutive year by travel site TripAdvisor. However, the ranking of the world's top amusement parks was dominated by attractions in Orlando in Florida, with Universal's Islands of Adventure at the top of the list.

In the 2017 Travellers' Choice awards for amusement parks, the Sentosa theme park also ranked 17th worldwide. On Thursday, TripAdvisor said that the award winners were determined by using an algorithm that took into account the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for amusement parks worldwide over a span of 12-month period.

Universal Studios Singapore, located on Sentosa Island, gave tough competition to its regional competitors such as Hong Kong Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, Legoland Malaysia, and Universal Studios Japan.
