20100613 Universal Studio Singapore

Went Universal Studio Singapore (USS) yesterday (June 14) with Aunt Nancy and Aunt Jane's family and cousins.

Overall comments on USS

 The musicals and special effects studio are great.
 The queues to take photos with characters are short and fast!
 a lot attractions still under construction.
 most of the queues are 1 hour long. So might want to consider getting express pass.
 some of the entrance path to the rides is just too long. Revenge of the Mummy, for example. USS should just build/open-up 'special' path if the queue is not long.

Hollywood

 Monster Rock musical - Live musical and dance, with fireworks and effects. Thumbs up! :)

New York

 Lights! Camera! Action! - show case example of special effects used in film-making. Good!

Sci-Fi City

 Battlestar Galactica roller coaster - looks promising, but still under construction.

Ancient Egypt

 Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster - not bad with reverse section and fire effect ; But the entrance path is too long, too dark and confusing. The should either light it up or put up more signs... unless the purpose is to set up a maze in the "piramid" ;)
 Treasure Hunters ride - erm.... for kids.

The Lost World

 Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure - sits on a 9-person circular raft and tossed on the waterways in Jurassic Park. Great! The 'lucky ones' will get wet at the finale slide. Hehe ;)
 Canopy Flyer - waited 50 minutes for a 53 seconds ride. This is for kids!

Far Far Away

Hook's Knight Club - interactive 'live' show starring Donkey. At first I thought its just another screen movie, but turned out that the character actually interacted with audiences in real time, with sense of humour too! :)
 Shrek 4-D Adventure - Not very 3D compared to Disneyland Mickey's PhilharMagic.

Madagascar

  Too bad the the ride is not open yet at this point of time.

Here are the compiled photo collages of my day at USS :)
