  • CELEBRATING 19 YEARS of ENTERTAINMENT in the EAST Golden Village Tampines Reopens After a Swanky Facelift with Unbeatable Promotions and Freebies!
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CELEBRATING 19 YEARS OF ENTERTAINMENT IN THE EAST Golden Village Tampines reopens after a swanky facelift with unbeatable promotions and freebies! Singapore, 24 April 2015 – After 19 years of creating movie magic in the East, Golden Village Tampines reopens following a short hiatus on Monday, 20th April 2015. The revamped cinema now boasts a sleek new interior, an auto-gate system and automated ticketing kiosks, giving patrons a quicker, seamless cinematic experience from the very moment they step into the cinema. All eight halls in Golden Village Tampines now come equipped with the award-winning ProBax® seats. The ProBax® seat is the seat of choice for Golden Village as it ensures patrons enjoy prolonged comfort and improved posture. The patented ProBax® technology reconfigures the foam structure within the seat base to encourage an anatomically correct posture in the seat occupant, removing the slumped posture often created in foam-based seats. This in turn leads to reduced back ache and decreased muscle fatigue which improves concentration levels and minimises fidgeting. “Golden Village strives to continuously upgrade and improve our cinemas and since 2010, we have undertaken various renovations and upgrading of our cinemas. Patrons’ comfort is of utmost importance to us and it is always encouraging to see them enjoy our new space and its improved amenities. Golden Village Tampines has been around for close to two decades and is a heartland gem to many. We hope the new upgrade will offer regular GV Tampines patrons a pleasurable cinema experience,” said Ms. Clara Cheo, Chief Executive Officer, Golden Village Multiplex Pte.
