Escape Theme Park is Singapore's largest outdoor theme park and it is located in NTUC Downtown East, Pasir Ris. It was opened in May 2000 and a water park named Wild Wild Wet located adjacent to it was opened in June 2004. Its slogan is "360 degrees of fun". From 2005, it is now a non-smoking park.

Attractions

The park features an equal mix of thrill rides and family rides. Some thrill rides include a pirate ship, 2 go kart tracks, 1 of which is catered to younger riders, fairground style rides, a walk-through haunted house, as well as the highest log flume in Asia [ [http://www.singaporethemeparks.com/ Singapore Theme Parks] ] . There used to be an indoor roller coaster, but was closed to the public after an incident in 2005.

There are also numerous family attractions such as bumper boats, a family coaster, a Ferris wheel and a central pavilion with many funfair-style games.

Accident

On 25 November 2005, two girls were critically injured after being thrown from the subsequently discontinued "Alpha 8" Roller Coaster and falling 3 meters. The cause of the incident is thought to be a faulty safety restraint.
