To those wanting to go for this event, I advise you to go very early as the queue is very long. The walking path to the island is closed for development so you cannot walk over. This caused long queues at the cable , monorail and bus entry points. Imagine all the foreign chinese and indian workers and us locals wanting to see the event queuing there and you should get the idea. I estimated at least 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs queuing time.:sweat: I was not in the mood for waiting so gave up the idea of going in there today.

I was there around 12-1 pm looking for the way in. Not sure on driving in but I think you would get in a whole lot faster than the other means of transport. Traffic seems quite normal on the bridge.

Very long queues at cable, especially monorail and bus entry points. Est waiting time around 1 1/2 hr to 2 hr if U go down late in afternoon. Walkway to island closed for development so queues at the above are longer than usual with locals and foreign workers all waiting to go in by the above means. I did not go in after seeing the long queues.:sweat:

I just came back from there...from vivocity, not from sentoa...didn't made it in.

My family wanted to go there in the afternoon, so we travelled and gosh was the queue LONG. Extremely long was an understatement, the queue twisted and turn in the lobby and snaked all the way out into the roof garden area. The description by berserk comes nothing close to perfect...

We gave up the monorail and tried to walk across, but as mentioned, the walkway was closed...ended up going home, didn't try the River Hongbao either, suspect it'll be worse!

I took a shot from vivo at 200mm at the sentosa's merlion...when zoomed in, the merlion was crowded!!! Can imagine the crowd at sentosa....ppl mountain ppl sea.

Maybe its just today, EVERYBODY wants to go to the exhibition at the same time...

I went there yesterday abt 2+pm. The crowd was terrible at the queues to the tickets and entry into the station. Fortunately i got Islander card so don't need to queue for tickets but the entry to the station and monorail waiting still takes abt 20mins. Coming back time from Imbiah station around 6+pm still have to queue for abt 30mins.

Is it the event that is crowded or is it just the bus/monorail that is crowded? Makes a difference leh...
