Wild Wild Wet

Wild Wild Wet is the largest-operating water park in Singapore as of January 2024, which features a 3-storey high raft water slide (known as Ular-Lar) that is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. Wild Wild Wet opened in June 2004, 4 years after Downtown East's official opening. Currently competing with Resorts World Sentosa's Adventure Cove Waterpark, part of Marine Life Park, Wild Wild Wet has a total of nine water slides, and many other water attractions, one of which was sponsored by Yakult for a period of time. It also has a 18-metre slide called Torpedo. The riders would slide down at 70 metres an hour.

Escape Theme Park

Escape Theme Park was Singapore's largest outdoor theme park until Universal Studios Singapore took its position in May 2010. Opened in 2000, it operates on Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted school and public holidays. Its slogan is '360 degrees of fun', and had a total of twelve operating rides. It closed on 26 November 2011 due to declining business and the site was used for a bigger Wild Wild Wet and Costa Sands Resort.

Accommodation

In 2015, a 5-storey resort and hotel combination accommodation, D'Resort, was opened. It was built over the former location of the Escape Theme Park and comprises 387 rooms.
