Yaloryalor 5th Gear January 18, 2011 Share January 18, 2011 Hi Guys, Are you familiar with the 大世界,繁华世界 or 新世界? I remember when I was very young, these amusement parks were still around but I was too small to know what are the location or the attractions inside. 新世界 is also amusement park or its just a hotel? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I was very young, these amusement parks were still around but I was too small to know what are the location or the attractions inside. 新世界 is also amusement park or its just a hotel? 新世界 (New World) is currently City Square located. Kitchiner x Serangoon Road 大世界 (Great World) is where Great World City now, off River Valley Road 繁华世界 (Gay World) is at Geylang and currently empty. All above are amusement Park. There is also one at Kallang Park where it was known as Wonderland, currently where the tennis centre is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picnic06-Biante15 Supersonic January 18, 2011 Share January 18, 2011 The current City square location? It is located at the junction of Kitchener Road & Serangoon Road. Just after Mustafar. If coming down from S'goon, turn right at Kitchener Rd junction and keep left for car park entrance. The ramp leading to the basement car park is dammed long. If take MRT, stop at Farrer Park Station and walk accross S'goon Road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
