Travel: Singapore - Universal Studio

[Okosbaba]

I have been with my almost 3 year old 3 times (the first doesn’t count because none of the rides were working), though enjoyable we have only stayed there in the afternoons (2pm –closing), as Madagascar is still not open (only the carrousel is working). The Far Far Away rides frightened the otherwise seasoned theme park visitor DS (we have annual pass to Hong Kong Disneyland and have been to Tokyo too…) Although its lovely to walk around and when we visited we got an F&B voucher for $10 or $15.00 (don’t quiet remember as we did not use it), we did not have our bags inspected merely glanced at, nor did we have any food items confiscated. Moreover the restaurants were obliging in providing hot water to mix the milk because in the middle of the heat wave my son decided that he must have milk nothing else.

There is little to do in my opinion for the under 5s, hence I guess they charge for 4+ years old. We have had long queues up to 45 minutes for the Jurassic Park ride and 35 minutes for the cars (mummy’s)… So be prepared to have lots of water, patience and entertainment whilst you queue up. And most of all have fun. 

I will! Thanks loads for the information! Going to bring loads of snacks for her, I doubt she’ll calm down at anytime to want to eat a proper meal


Ah! If you have the annual pass to HK Disneyland you’ll know what I mean about the bag checks!

Whatever food & drinks you intend to bring into USS, keep them in your bag and take them out only after you have passed through the turnstiles. They will not stop you to check your bags once you are in hollywood main street. Don’t hold it in your hands when entering at turnstiles or you will be asked to throw it away, baby food or not. For adults, if you don’t mind drinking from water cooler, you can bring an empty bottle to fill from the water coolers available at most places. There’s one outside the toilet right after the entry turnstiles.

Thanks for the info.


Actually, I feel that they should open the park at night.

It’s really really hot in the day!

hi vlim, we actually brought those disposable raincoat and extra clothings. But my dd insisted not wearing the raincoat, she said the fun part is to get wet. She also insisted us not to wear too ... Yap!! We were all soaked from head to toe.

I took most of the rides with dd, except the mummy ride. Because its so dark inside and look scary. Is it really that scary???

[vlim]

ya while queueing, we saw a few wore raincoat and I also saw some really get very wet. My dh actually happen to have one disposable raincoat in his bag but I also insist not to wear as I want to be sporting mah…end up me, my dd and my niece got the most water…We were like drop into pond…all wet including under wear…and end up we bought t-shirt from the Jurassic park soverneir shops…

[vlim]

oh i didn’t take the mummy ride. I was scared off after taking a ride with my dd…it got some technical fault. My kids, dh , brother and kids took the mummy ride. My brother said very good standard! Most exciting ride among all…and it goes reverse direction too…my sis said she screamed till voiceless and giddy…but my 8 yr old dd and 13 yr old niece said though scary but they want to ride again :!:
