First Amusement Park
The first 5.6-ha Great World Amusement Park started with about 150 wooden shacks out of a Chinese cemetery during the 1920s. The land was owned by Lee Choon Yung, a relative of philanthropist Lee Kong Chian. In the early 30s, he developed the site into an amusement park targeted at lower-income families. In 1941, it was sold to the Shaw Organisation which reopened it in 1958 after a complete face-lift. A ferris wheel, a ghost train, a carousel and other children’s rides were installed. The park closed down in Mar 1964, although the cinemas and restaurants continued operating till 1978. It was one of the three worlds in Singapore, the other two being the Shaw-operated New World, which opened in 1923, and Happy World, which was started around 1936 by a group of businessmen and later renamed Gay World.
