Actually I wanted to book early online for Fri 11 Jun but was afraid my girl has her period. So waited until actual day and reached there with all tickets sold out. No choice got to take extra 1 day off on Tue as bought alternative day ticket at entrance.


The DBS/POSB promotion (mentioned by daisyt) is over.

hi,


Can anyone advise me which are the most popular rides? :? Thinking of going straight to those rides when the door open at 10am.

Thats a good idea!

For me, here is my ranking on the interesting rides
1) Jurassic Park Rapid Adventure
2) Jurassic Park Canopy Flyer
3) Ancient Egypt Revenge of the mummy coaster ride
4) Far Far Away Land Enchanted Airway coaster ride

The problem is, Rapid Adventure is a wet ride, can really get soak. Hence I went to this ride last. Although we brought clothings to change, our shoes/sandals and hair were wet.

Enjoy!

Thks for your recommendation, daisyt!

I have tried on some of the rides last friday. I esp like the 4d movie ride. The revenge of the Mummy ride was quite scary. It was a hot day and when I reached there b4 10am, all tickets were sold out. Luckily, I managed to get the online tickets 2 days b4. It was quite packed and we waited almost an hour for a 10mins ride.... :roll: I regret not buying express ticket.

WOW; woke up to a stormy Wednesday morning and both my DDs were staring out of the windows thinking when the rain will stop! Unfortunately the rain continued but we still have to go the USS since we have purchased the tickets - with a couple of rain coats and umbrella, we went regardless.

We got $5 each for Retail and Meal rebate. Was wet but queuing for the rides were a breeze. The rain continued but actually wasnt so bad in the afternoon. All shows and rides were operating as usual.

We mangaged to complete all the rides and shows by 7pm (USS extent the Operating Hour to 8pm due to the rain) and managed to take loads of pic.

I was told that it will take 1-1.5 hours waiting time for rides on a fine weather day - no way to complete all the rides and shows.

Therefore the rainy Wed turned out to be a blessing for us. Most imptly, my DDs enoyed themselves (even we have all been to the america US!)

Good experience lah.
