Universal Studios Singapore
A visit to Singapore is not complete unless you visit the Universal Studios.
The USS has seven themed Zones
Hollywood
New York
Sci Fi City
Ancient Egypt
Lost World
Far Far Away
Madagascar
and each of the zones have their own attractions, eateries and street shows.
We started our day with the Transformers ride at Sci Fi City. The que was long enough and it took us almost 3 1/2 hrs to get in for the 10 minutes ride. (We found that by around 3 in the evening there was hardly any que...we could have saved time if we had gone for it after lunch).
It's one of the best attractions at USS and one should not miss this. .....I was spellbound.......I was told that people prone to motion sickness should not take the ride and hence I was a bit worried....but I should say it's just a myth....come on grab your 3D glasses...be prepared to race down the city streets being chased by huge Robots.... It's an unbelievable experience.....
Lunch was at Oasis Spice near Egyptian Mummy. Indian, Malay and Mediterranean food is available.
We then moved on to Lost World.
The two main attractions there are the Water World and Jurassic Park Rapids Ride.
The Water World at the Lost World is a live water show with stunts....explosions..... flames....
If you don't want to get wet choose your seat towards the back....away from the 'splash' and 'soak' zones.....A fantastic show indeed. Children will definitely enjoy....
Jurassic Park is a thrilling river rapids ride....through Dinosaur exhibits...and dark tunnel ......Board the circular rafts that accommodates 9 people..... Get ready to be wet..... Or you may wear a poncho.....The raft goes up and down......and finally falls down a slope drenching the riders. ....its fun....it's an exhilarating experience...
There were two ques....one for single riders which moved faster and the other was for groups. We took the single rider ques and there fore I found myself with another group of eight people all strangers....anyways...I enjoyed the ride but my advice is to take the ride with your own group of friends and enjoy to the fullest....
Shrek 4D
This is a 4D film experience in Far Far Away zone. Wear your 3D glasses and enjoy this movie cum ride. Children will enjoy this show....
Light Camera Action
This is in the New York zone. After a brief introduction at the pre show room visitors are directed to the main theatre for the show.....Be blown away by incredible special effects.......
Madagascar - A Crate Adventure was another fantastic water ride we did. Unfortunately I do not have pictures. :(
Street Parades
In this spectacular Street Parade with Vehicles, floats beyond your imagination, flightless birds in tuxedos......marching bands......clowns, the fantastic stilt walkers.... Meet your favourite dream characters .....Madagascar, Shrek .......join the dazzling Parade of dancers..... and sing, watch your movie characters come alive right before your eyes......lots of singing and dancing.....it's a celebration on the streets of USS .....a wonderful holiday experience.
Tips:
An absolute fun filled day out.
I'll be back with more......
