Marina Bay Sands cancels final dragon drone show due to mechanical issues

SINGAPORE: The final display of Marina Bay Sands’ (MBS) dragon drone show has been axed due to mechanical issues.

The show, originally scheduled for 9pm on Sunday (Feb 18), was cancelled “due to mechanical issues with the drones during the scheduled pre-show tests”, an MBS spokesperson said on Saturday evening.

“The safety of the team and members of the public is our priority,” said MBS, adding that there will be no replacement shows.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank all visitors for their strong support of the inaugural drone series.”

In response to CNA’s queries, MBS said: “A successful drone show is a complex operation that is dependent on many factors.”

“Testing is done at each rehearsal, and we also evaluate the performance of the drones in real-time.”
