[Event] Sentosa Sandsation 2018 is back in Marvel Edition


Back for its second year, Sentosa Sandsation 2018 allowed Marvel fans to get up close to their favourite Super Heroes as they were brought to life at Southeast Asia's biggest sand festival.


Rena and myself attended the event dressed up as Wonder Woman, but Ryden kept nagging that the character is not from Marvel but is DC Comics. Rena's outfit was actually bought for finals of PS Baby Star contest, but we didn't managed to get shortlisted and mine was from the previous DC run. I felt that this is the perfect occasion to dress up.


After a short 12 minute stroll from the Beach Station to Sapphire pavilion at the Siloso Beach, I'm glad we were the first 100 to check in at the Islander Booth in our Super Hero costume. We received a goodie bag with 1 Limited Edition MARVEL Comic Book, an Islander individual Membership and a Token Fun Pass!


After the collection, we walked to where the entrance of sand sculptures are displayed, which featured altogether 15 popular MARVEL icons from the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and more. Here I will just post a few photos.


Characters and location from Marvel universe were especially sculpted by the internationally-acclaimed JOOheng Tan and his team of international sand sculptors.


In addition to the Sand Sculptures display, there was also a competition held live where 14 of the world's best sand sculptors pit off their skills against each another in the Sentosa International Sand Sculpting Championship. The theme for the competition revolve around MARVEL and the best sand sculptor will walk away with the Golden Shovel Award.


For kids 5 years and above, there is also a sand sculpting workshops where kids can use their imagination to create their own masterpieces after a demonstration by a master sand sculptor. Onsite pre-registration is required and the slots were really filling up fast.


Beside these, there are also other exciting activities, such as the Hulk Smash to test your strength and Freeze frame at their 180-degree video booth. Admission to the exhibition is Free but some of the activities will require the purchase of tokens.


All locals residents get to enjoy FREE Entry into Sentosa via the Sentosa Express or drive-in via car from 1 - 16 September 2018, which coincide with this marvelous and sandsational event. Take this chance to have a nice outing with your family or friends. Opens daily 10 am to 9pm!
