The number of such passes are limited daily.Visitors to the park need pay only one price to get access to 24 attractions, 20 of which will be opened when the park is ready for operations, along with 30 themed restaurants and food carts, as well as another 20 retail shops and kiosks.The theme park is expected to greet its first visitors early next year when the $6.59 billion integrated resort, Resorts World at Sentosa, opens its doors.
