Prices are from Travjoy (2026). Gate prices are higher than online prices, so check the official Resorts World Sentosa site or compare USS ticket deals.
Do you need an Express Pass?
On weekdays outside school holidays, most visitors manage the main rides without one by arriving early and using the official app’s live wait times. On weekends, public holidays and school holidays (June and November–December), an Express Pass can save hours.

- Sci-Fi City: the Battlestar Galactica duelling coasters and Transformers: The Ride.
